That golden light was like a sharp sword; as soon as it left the blood clan elder's mouth, it immediately struck Aman's forehead.
The attack was so sudden and fast that even Long Chen couldn't react in time, and it was too late to make a move.
"Pfft"
The golden light arrived. Aman instinctively tilted her head to the side, but the light swept across her forehead, tearing her skin and revealing her skull. Silver blood slowly trickled down her forehead.
With his forehead injured, Aman's eyes instantly turned cold with murderous intent. Golden patterns formed in his pupils as he stared fixedly at the elder of the blood clan:
"You carry the aura I hate on you. I'm going to eat you."
A Man roared, his bone club shook violently, and a powerful force swept through. The blood clan elder with golden horns on his head was forced to retreat repeatedly by Aman.
"Die!"
Aman flew into a rage, the bone staff roaring toward him, his blood surging wildly. Aman actually entered a rare berserk state, charging at the elder of the blood clan.
"Boom!" Aman's
club collided with the vampire elder's curved blade, erupting with a deafening roar and a surging shockwave, forcing both to retreat simultaneously.
"Whoosh."
At that moment, Guo Ran had already healed his wound. He found a suitable opportunity to quietly circle behind the vampire elder and swung his blade fiercely at his neck.
"Clang"
Just as the long blade fell, the elder of the blood clan suddenly tilted his head and blocked Guo Ran's strike with the golden horn atop his head.
Sparks flew everywhere, and Guo Ran was so shocked that his arm went numb. He was terrified—just what kind of background was this guy? How could he be so terrifying?
"Boss, the idea is strong. Please help suppress the demons." Seeing he had run into a tough guy, Guo Ran immediately backed out and shouted loudly.
"If you team up with Aman, you can handle him. Compared to Elder Long and the others, this guy still lacks a lot of experience. Can't he show some ambition? Don't just pick on the weak targets. If you cause trouble, you have to settle it with tears in your eyes." Long Chen stood above the void, overlooking the entire battlefield, and glared at Guo Ran.
The Aman family faces strong enemies and grows stronger with each setback. Guo Ran suffered two losses and was about to flee. Having such a guy in the Dragonblood Legion was truly humiliating.
"Alright, I'll give it a try."
Seeing that Long Chen didn't seem to care much about this old vampire with golden horns on his head, Guo Ran felt a bit more confident. Seeing Aman attacking frantically, swinging two split-tooth broadswords, he cooperated with Aman to attack the vampire elder.
Aman roared repeatedly. With relentless attacks, his eyes initially only appeared with golden runes in his pupils, but gradually turned entirely golden, like two golden lamps, growing more and more terrifying, as if Aman was undergoing some kind of transformation.
What surprised Long Chen the most was that the blood clan elder's attacks could break through Aman's physical body, but not his bones. Although Aman was constantly injured in the fierce battle, it couldn't inflict fatal harm on him.
Aman took the lead, with Guo Ran interfering from the side. With their cooperation, the blood clan expert couldn't do anything to them for the time being, so Long Chen felt at ease.
Chu Yao, Liu Ruyan, Tang Wan'er, Ye Zhiqiu, Dong Mingyu, and others had already confronted over a hundred fourth-step Tongming Realm experts at the first opportunity.
At the same time, Nangong Zuiyue, Beitang Rushuang, and Ye Lingshan also joined the ranks. However, over a hundred fourth-step Tongming Realm experts caught everyone off guard and left them flustered.
But Long Chen kept watching, showing no intention of making a move, because both Chu Yao and Liu Ruyan could attack with extremely large areas of attack and could cover the entire arena.
As soon as the battle began, Gu Yang, Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, and Yue Zifeng also joined the fray. Top experts like Bao Buping and Chang Hao from the Kaitian Battle Sect, Hua Shiyu, Zhao Ziyan, and Su Mo from the Xuantian Dao Sect all charged in.
For a moment, wooden spikes pierced the sky, willow branches covered the entire world. These prodigies usually fought fiercely on their own, rarely cooperating with others.
Especially powerful figures like Beitang Rushuang and Nangong Zuiyue, who led an era, invincible in the world, and no one was qualified to join forces with them.
But now, facing Chu Yao, Liu Ruyan, and others whose combat power was equally strong against them, and with their cooperation, one powerful fourth-step Tongming Realm expert after another was killed. For the first time, they experienced the exhilaration of united effort.
"Buzz"—
the endless willow branches trembled, revealing a passage. Without hesitation, Beitang Rushuang drew her longbow like a full moon, and silently shot an arrow toward the passage.
The passage rapidly spread, suddenly revealing an exit. At that exit, an elder of the blood clan had just blocked the combined attack from Bao Buping and Chang Hao. As he retreated, Beitang Rushuang's arrow shot toward him.
"Pfft!"
The arrow pierced the old man's back, flying out of his chest. His chest exploded, leaving a bowl-sized hole of blood.
"Die!"
Bao Buping and Chang Hao seized the opportunity. The two attacked from both sides, their broad swords slashing down, and the old man was instantly sliced into three pieces.
With the cooperation of Liu Ruyan, Beitang Rushuang, Chang Hao, and Bao Buping, the Blood Clan Fourth Step Tongming Realm expert never understood how the arrow came from, even in death.
The battlefield, spanning tens of thousands of miles, was covered with endless thorns and willow branches. These hundred or so Blood Clan Fourth-Step Tongming Realm experts seemed trapped in a forest maze.
They attacked willow branches and thorns relentlessly, but the branches and thorns were endless, wasting countless energy instead.
In this labyrinth, they had to deal with endless willow branches and wooden thorns, and even face off head-on with Gu Yang and other powerful figures. If they weren't careful, they'd get entangled by willow branches and pierced by wooden spikes. The deadliest of all was Beitang Rushuang's silent, deadly arrow.
In less than half an incense stick's time, more than twenty powerful fighters had already been killed, most of whom had died at Beitang Rushuang's hands.
What terrified them most was that they were separated by Liu Ruyan and Chu Yao. None of them knew what the others were doing, and they could only occasionally hear the dying cries of the blood clan experts.
"Buzz!"
A blood clan expert suddenly summoned a massive bronze furnace. Purple flames rose from within, extremely strange. He actually used his own essence blood to activate the divine weapon.
Purple flames surged, instantly burning the surrounding willow branches and thorns to ashes. Clearly, this flame was no ordinary flame—it could actually burn away the wood power of Chu Yao and Liu Ruyan.
The ancient clan expert saw a door, opened his mouth wide, and sprayed a mouthful of blood onto the furnace. In that instant, he was like a zombie, his entire body blood drained dry.
Driven to desperation, he sacrificed all his essence blood to burn the entire wooden formation to ashes. Unfortunately, as his flames erupted, endless steam billowed and the flames were engulfed in mist, making it impossible to ignite the willow branches and wooden pillars for a moment.
"Pfft!"
Just as the expert was stunned, a sword aura shot out, shattering him in one blow. The furnace crashed to the ground with a clatter, and the blue flames inside instantly extinguished. Clearly, without his vital blood, the furnace had no power.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, the furnace was swept up by willow branches and flew out from the heavy wooden formation.
"Smack"
Long Chen grabbed the furnace with one hand. He stared at the furnace, slightly stunned: "Wow, this is actually a demon furnace?" "
Long Chen held the furnace, his expression changing slightly. He had heard of demon furnaces before, but this was the first time he had seen one.
What surprised Long Chen the most was that this furnace was actually a pill furnace, not a forging furnace.
The so-called demon furnace, like demon blades and demon swords, is an extremely strange and evil artifact. They are naturally devouring their masters; as long as the owner's fate is not strong enough, they will eventually be devoured by them.
Unlike ordinary weapons that devour the master with the spirit of the artifact, those spirit masters devour their masters for freedom. They do so secretly, striking when the master is in danger.
But demon weapons are different. They have a distinct devouring aura, fundamentally different from other divine weapons, and can be identified at a glance.
Therefore, those who obtain demon weapons know full well that they have the ability to devour their masters, yet still cannot resist signing contracts with them, because demon weapons are extremely terrifying weapons that tempt people to try their luck.
Each time a demon soldier devours a master, it grows stronger. The more masters it devours, the stronger it becomes; the stronger the demon weapon, the faster its master dies.
Demon soldiers, also known as fierce soldiers or disaster soldiers, bring misfortune because their owners never have a good end.
Long Chen never expected to encounter a demon weapon here, and a very rare pill furnace. His heart skipped a beat:
"I just don't know how many generations of owners this demon furnace has gone. Let's give it a try."
Long Chen's soul entered the pill furnace. His head buzzed, and endless howls erupted, like thousands of vengeful ghosts demanding lives.
"I'm not tough enough, so what's there to feel wronged about?"
Long Chen sneered, but from that endless resentment, he could tell that over the years, this alchemy furnace had changed hands countless times, devoured countless masters, and accumulated countless vengeful souls.
Long Chen withdrew his soul power from the furnace. Upon careful examination of the furnace, he discovered a strange rune at the bottom.
The rune looked like a sun, surrounded by flame patterns. At its core, there was a blue flower, whose origin was unclear.
"It should be a pretty good thing, but that old blood clan guy is too cowardly. He doesn't even qualify to be recognized as master by the Demon Furnace, and he still needs to ignite flames with his essence blood." Long Chen looked back and forth at the alchemy furnace, originally wanting to put it away first, but the more he looked, the more he felt his passion and itch.
"Forget it, the prodigal son won't wait for dawn. Let's take a look first." Long Chen saw that everything on the battlefield was very stable. The old man and the alliance leaders were guarding the perimeter, ready to support at any moment. Ziyan had been quietly observing, not yet making a move—everything was under control.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen flicked out a drop of essence blood, which landed on the rune at the bottom of the pill furnace. The rune was stained by Long Chen's blood, and the pattern slowly lit up, radiating an ancient, vast, and evil aura.
In that instant, the images around Long Chen vanished. He entered a dark world, where a pair of enormous eyes mercilessly stared at him.
