Long Chen escaped, while the Demon-Eyed Water Lily was wildly spewing black energy, forcing the power of the black earth out from within him.
According to Long Chen's estimation, the reason for this effect was likely because Long Chen had entered its core area. The Demon Eye was its strongest and weakest spot, and it happened to be encountered by Long Chen.
Right now, they had no time to deal with Long Chen, but those frenzied demon dragons refused to let him go, charging at him relentlessly. Seeing the black dragon blotting out the sky, everyone was so terrified their hearts nearly jumped out of their wits.
"Don't worry, these guys can't catch up to us." Long Chen smiled faintly, not taking it to heart.
Because except for the black dragon controlled by Bai Xiaole, the rest were covered in wounds, many with terrifying large holes, yet they still desperately attacked Long Chen.
Just as Long Chen had predicted, after the black dragon flew up, the distance between itself and the other two gradually widened. The leader of the Ironblood Mercenary Group, the leader of the Blood Oath Alliance, Zhao Qinglong, and Jiang Yuhe were almost moved to tears.
They were all powerful warlords, having fought their way through bloody chaos, but in their lives, they had never encountered such a terrifying place. Now that they were gradually out of danger, their hearts finally began to relax.
Flying through the dark forest, the Evil Dragon Valley lay ahead. When the black dragon appeared, the dragons inside the valley were so frightened that they crawled to the ground, too afraid to move.
"How about we go steal some dragon eggs? It doesn't take long, just a few breaths are enough." Jiang Yuhe looked down below. Now that she couldn't see the black dragons behind her, she felt a bit tempted again.
If it were them themselves, they definitely wouldn't dare come to Dragon Valley alone. Opportunities like this probably only come once in a lifetime; if missed, they might never come again.
Jiang Yuhe's suggestion immediately tempted the other three. The black dragons were injured and slowed down, so a little delay wouldn't matter.
Long Chen shook his head: "Do you really think you're out of danger?" You should just pray quietly, pray that we can safely escape back to Zhaoming Ancient City. If that terrifying lotus recovers, we will all die. "
Huh?"
The four were stunned. They thought that once they escaped the demon dragon's pursuit, everything was over. But now, with Long Chen mentioned, their hearts suddenly sank again.
"Can the lotus leave its original spot?" Jiang Yuhe exclaimed in surprise.
Long Chen looked outside without answering. Jiang Yuhe felt a bit embarrassed and stopped asking, and the four of them became anxious again.
"Long Chen, what kind of creature is that? Why is it so terrifying? I've never heard of it before. Bai Shishi couldn't help but ask.
Just one glance at the eye pattern inside the lotus nearly made her lose her mind, which made her very curious about the lotus.
"That's a species passed down from the Ancient Desolate Era, a demon-eyed water lily from the Undying Realm. Legend says it's a branch of a species from the Chaos Era, but no one knows its exact origin.
The Demon-Eyed Water Lily is a renowned existence, renowned for its terrifying reputation. There is a saying that when the Demonic Eye opens, all spirits submit.
Its demonic eye is somewhat similar to Xiao Le's three-flower pupils, but it's different. Its demonic eye can unleash both soul attacks and physical attacks. I almost suffered a huge loss. At this point, Long Chen felt a lingering fear.
Long Chen didn't know that the demonic eye of the Demon Eye Water Lily had the ability to attack physically. He relied on his strong soul power and strong willpower to take the risk.
At the moment he was controlled, if he hadn't had a sudden inspiration to think of Heitu, he would have died here today.
"A species from the Age of Chaos?" Everyone was shocked. After all, this was an era beyond human comprehension.
"It's so terrifying, and you're still risking?" Bai Shishi's voice trembled slightly.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. I'm injured and need to adjust. There might be another big battle soon. Xiao Le, command the demon dragon to fly desperately." After Long Chen finished speaking, he closed his eyes and meditated.
In fact, Long Chen wasn't really injured; all his wounds had long since healed. He just didn't want to continue the topic, especially since outsiders were present.
Hearing that there might be another great battle soon, everyone's nerves tightened. The black dragon was flying at incredible speed, especially Bai Xiaole, who had stimulated its potential. Regardless of its survival, it burned its essence blood and flew at full speed.
In the time it takes to burn an incense stick, they passed through the Evil Dragon Valley. After crossing the valley, the scene ahead gradually became familiar. Jiang Yuhe and the others relaxed slightly, and soon they would arrive at Zhaoming Ancient City.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the void exploded, distorting in the distance. The figure of the Demon-Eyed Water Lily tore open the heavens and earth, shattering the sky and appearing behind the crowd.
"It's chasing us!"
Everyone cried out in shock. The Demon-Eyed Water Lily was shrouded in black mist, its massive figure stretching up into the sky. All the clouds in all directions were shattered. Its appearance and terrifying pressure left everyone breathless.
At this moment, it had already unleashed all its black earth power, and its pressure was even more terrifying than before. As soon as it appeared, it carried a massive shockwave, charging straight at the black dragon.
"Cut the spiritual connection with the Black Dragon." Long Chen shouted to Bai Xiaole.
"Pfft!"
Amid everyone's exclamations, the massive black dragon was shattered alive. Inside the flying vessel, from the endless shreds of flesh, they shot off like meteors into the distance.
"Boom!"
The flying boat pierced through a high mountain peak, crashing to the ground and tumbling all the way, shattering as it rolled.
Long Chen held Bai Xiaole with one hand and Bai Shishi with the other, enduring the terrifying impact himself and protecting both of them.
Neither of them had strong physical bodies, especially Bai Xiaole, who might very well be killed by the shock.
Everyone rolled and flew out, each one dazed. Jiang Yuhe and the others coughed up blood, their bodies cracked and nearly shattered. Although they were Immortal King experts, their physical strength was not much stronger than Qi Yu and the others.
"Xiao Le, teleport."
Long Chen had just steadied himself and hurriedly shouted.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, a massive sword shimmering with black energy slashed down at Long Chen and the others. However, Bai Xiaole's spatial technique had already been activated, and everyone vanished in an instant. The sword struck the ground, stirring up earth waves stretching for thousands of miles, but it did not affect Long Chen and the others.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a lotus flower appeared, piercing through the void. Long Chen and the others fell from the void.
"It can actually see through my teleportation path." Bai Xiaole cried out in shock. His spatial technique had actually been interrupted, and halfway through teleportation, he was knocked out of space.
"Pfft!"
Long Chen spat out a mouthful of blood. His spatial technique was shattered, forcing him to withstand the immense force of spatial tearing. To protect everyone, Long Chen bore all the spatial power alone. His body cracked instantly, nearly shattering.
Long Chen wasn't trying to save the four chiefs, because Bai Xiaole's body was too weak; even a sliver of power could cost him his life, so Long Chen had no choice but to bear it all himself.
Seeing cracks appear all over Long Chen's body, Bai Shishi cried out in surprise. She was still puzzled by her own situationNot a single injury was suffered.
"Run into the city."
Long Chen shouted loudly to everyone, while he himself carried the bone knife and charged toward the Demon-Eyed Water Lily.
