Chapter 5683: Enemies Gather
The voice belonged to none other than the owner, Hou Tianwu of the Celestial Demon Alliance. At this moment, Hou Tianwu stood with nine golden dragon veins swirling behind him, wielding a golden staff in his hand.
This golden staff differed from his previous weapon. Adorning the staff were thirty-six humanoid runes exuding a terrifying emperor's aura. This staff was the ancestral divine weapon of the Celestial Demon Golden Monkey clan, and the humanoid runes were embodiments of the clan's ancestral spirits.
Affixed to this Emperor's weapon were the spirits of thirty-six progenitors from the chaotic era of the Celestial Demon Golden Monkey clan. It was a weapon capable of world-shattering destruction. Hou Tianwu had refrained from using it previously due to his insufficient strength and inability to gain the ancestral spirits' recognition.
Now, having achieved mastery of the nine veins, he could finally wield it. With this ancestral divine weapon in hand, he feared no one. However, upon advancing to the level of a Nine Veins Celestial Saint, his innate divine powers had begun to awaken, rendering him unprecedentedly powerful. Even in territorial disputes, no one had the qualifications to challenge him to wield the golden staff.
Leading the formidable members of the demon tribe, he was like a nail firmly hammered into the scales of the Emperor's Path, his position unshakable. Standing beside Hou Tianwu were several individuals, one of whom Dragon Dust recognized. It was Xiang Tu, who had also ascended to the level of a Nine Veins Celestial Saint, with boundless vital energy and an aura not much weaker than Hou Tianwu's. His ivory spear had also been replaced with an ancestral divine weapon, emitting a fearsome aura.
Apart from Hou Tianwu and Xiang Tu, three other powerful members of the demon tribe stood, their blood like a vast ocean, their gazes as sharp as knives. These three individuals formed a line alongside Xiang Tu and Hou Tianwu. Evidently, their strength and status were roughly equivalent.
As it turned out, the demon tribe's influence was extensive, with countless experts. The position of the leader of the Celestial Demon Alliance was not limited to just the Blood Crystal Lizard and Mammoth Demon Elephant royal clans.
These three formidable individuals shared the same royal bloodline as well, eyeing the position of the Celestial Demon Alliance's leader's seat with ambition. With their respective vassal forces, they had arrived in full force, intending to challenge Hou Tianwu's supremacy.
However, upon arriving in the purple world, they realized that the strong warriors of various races were boundless, and a myriad of monsters emerged endlessly. It seemed unrealistic for the demon tribe to establish dominance here. If internal conflicts were to arise, there might even be a risk of complete annihilation. To avoid this, the five major forces convened to concentrate their efforts on seizing more resources first. After the Blood Essence Wind arrived, they planned to jointly challenge the Emperor's Path Opposing Scale.
As for the distribution of the Emperor's Path Opposing Scale after obtaining it, the solution was quite straightforward: a competition among the six major forces, with the victor taking control and commanding the entire demon tribe. It had to be admitted that while the demons might not possess high intellect, they did understand the bigger picture. They intended to keep the Emperor's Path Opposing Scale within the demon tribe, benefiting the tribe regardless of who ultimately acquired it.
However, they had been waiting until now, without the arrival of the Blood Essence Wind. Instead, they found themselves facing a group of terrifying dragon clan experts.
Fortunately, these dragon clan experts happened to be on the opposite side of the Emperor's Path Opposing Scale, and no conflict erupted between the two sides.
The appearance of the dragon clan experts made countless beings vigilant. After all, the Emperor's Path Opposing Scale was a treasured possession of the dragon clan. Under similar strength, their chances of obtaining it would be higher.
For a moment, everyone regarded the dragon clan as the strongest competitors, and countless forces secretly determined that if the situation turned unfavorable, they would eliminate the dragon clan first before anything else.
On the demon tribe's side, they couldn't see the situation of the opposing dragon clan, nor did they know their actual strength. Nevertheless, they assumed that the dragon clan had already fallen into decline and posed no real threat.
Just as they were discussing strategies to seize the Emperor's Path Opposing Scale, the Dragon Blood Legion appeared. The moment they heard the name "Dragon Blood Legion," Hou Tianwu and Xiang Tu's eyes instantly turned blood-red, exuding a surge of killing intent.
Having suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Long Chen previously, it was a lifelong shame for them. After that failure, they were filled with anger and unwillingness. Due to not having reached the level of a Grand Perfection Celestial Saint, many of their divine abilities remained dormant, and they couldn't even wield their unparalleled divine weapons. It was safe to say that they felt utterly stifled.
Now, upon hearing Guo Ran's voice, they silently prayed for Long Chen to appear directly before them. Their wish was granted. Upon seeing the enormous Myriad Dragon Nest, both Hou Tianwu and Xiang Tu revealed sinister smiles. The time for revenge had come.
"Since that fool Blood Essence Wind didn't show up, don't blame us for not giving him a chance," Xiang Tu said with a sinister expression.
Unbeknownst to Xiang Tu and Hou Tianwu, Blood Essence Wind hadn't truly failed to arrive; he had just taken on a different form.
"A rumbling sound echoed."
The Myriad Dragon Nest moved forward slowly, gradually slowing down. At this moment, an endless army of demons surged like a tide, making the Myriad Dragon Nest appear like a lone boat floating in a sea of people.
"Long Chen, come out and face your death!"
Hou Tianwu and the others stood in front of the Myriad Dragon Nest, wielding their golden staffs and shouting loudly towards it.
"A defeated general dares to boast courage? Hou Tianwu, who gave you the audacity to shout and scream in front of me?" A lazy voice sounded, followed by the gradual opening of the doors of the Myriad Dragon Nest. Long Chen, dressed in a black robe, stepped out slowly.
Tang Wanjing and Bai Shishi, two peerless beauties, accompanied Long Chen on either side. Behind them, Gu Yang, Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, Guo Ran, Xia Chen, and others followed at a leisurely pace. Immediately after, the Dragon Blood Legion and the Hidden Dragon Legion emerged in an orderly manner.
Upon seeing the disciplined and uniform formation of the Dragon Blood Legion and Hidden Dragon Legion, each member radiating the aura of a Grand Perfection Celestial Saint of their respective elemental powers, the hearts of all those present trembled.
The soldiers of the Dragon Blood Legion possessed the power of dragons, while those of the Hidden Dragon Legion possessed the power of wind. Their auras interacted and merged with each other, creating an awe-inspiring presence.
Both legions moved with precise coordination, in stark contrast to the scattered and disparate forces of the other factions. The assembled experts couldn't help but be astonished. They had never witnessed so many top-tier masters coming together in such a disciplined formation.
Typically, the stronger a genius was, the more they tended to act independently and avoid association with others. Yet today, as they gazed upon the formation of the Dragon Blood Legion and Hidden Dragon Legion, they couldn't help but inhale sharply.
With such a multitude of powerful individuals gathered, their combined might was undoubtedly beyond the reach of ordinary formations. As Long Chen led the way, more figures emerged from the Myriad Dragon Nest. Suddenly, someone exclaimed:
"It's the Dragon Clan!"
They hadn't anticipated that the Dragon Blood Legion and the Hidden Dragon Legion would be joined by a group of dragon clan experts. They couldn't fathom how the dragon clan could align themselves with the human race.
The dragon clan experts walked out alongside the powerful individuals from the Wind God Pavilion. Seeing the endless figures outside and the shocked expressions of those around, both the dragon clan and Wind God Pavilion experts felt a mixture of nervousness and excitement, infused with a strong sense of pride.
Countless gazes were fixed upon them. In that moment, they were the brightest stars in the heavens and earth. Their pride and self-assuredness made them feel that even if they were to die here today, it would all be worth it.
Their attention was drawn to the figure walking leisurely at the front of the formation, exuding an aura of nonchalance and a hint of laziness. Their eyes burned with fervor. They knew that if they could emerge from the Heavenpulse Mystical Realm alive, this would become a vivid and unforgettable chapter in their lives, forever etched in their family's glorious history.
"Long Chen, you certainly live up to your reputation. You actually came," a sinister voice suddenly sounded. It was like the cold laughter of a demon from hell, causing many to feel a sharp pain in their souls.
