Chapter 507 - Chen Feng

I should be able to use the full strength of the Heaven Sword Array right now. Long Chen raised his sword as he flew close to the beast. A tornado of runes formed a massive array under his command, then he shot it towards the beast.

The Nine Wheels Ghost Fire Beast felt the threat to his life the moment Long Chen did that. It had thought Long Chen was insignificant, but now it treated Long Chen as its mortal enemy. The Heaven Sword Array displayed its true strength as it surrounded the beast from every direction. The entire gorge was covered by the array, and the rocks were cut up by its power.

The collateral damage was caused by the tiny bits of power that escaped from the gaps in the array.

Under the influence of both the Blood Devouring Domain and the Heaven Sword Array, the beast felt the largest threat it had ever faced, so it roared towards the sky. A suffocating demonic aura spread out and engulfed the surroundings. Long Chen felt like he was deep in the ocean and his movements were restricted.

But the Nine Wheels Ghost Fire Beast was even more restricted, as Long Chen’s Blood Devouring Domain reduced at least twenty percent of its strength.

The Heaven Sword Array above its head flew downwards, and the beast felt the threatening power approaching. It decided not to hold back—the greenish fire covering its body shot upwards. Nine fiery wheels made of green flames swirled rapidly around its body, then all of them detached and grew bigger. After a few seconds, the wheels grew into massive wheels of fire three meters across and flew towards Long Chen’s Heaven Sword Array.

The beast was confident it would be able to Long Chen as soon as it destroyed the Heaven Sword Array! It refused to believe that it was weaker than Long Chen, telling itself that it was only in this predicament because the latter had launched a surprise attack.

The nine wheels of fire were not weak in the slightest; Long Chen determined that they could destroy an entire mountain! A green flash of light exploded under the Heaven Sword Array that even outshone Long Chen’s blood-red mist.

Is it using its strongest attack?

Long Chen smiled and saw that the Heaven Sword Array was going to clash with the wheels of fire. Only then did he release the remaining strength of the Heaven Sword Array that he had been intentionally suppressing. Long Chen had suppressed half of the array’s strength in the beginning, yet it was enough to force the beast to use its strongest attack!

The Nine Wheels Ghost Fire Beast was going to die!

The Heaven Sword Array generated an inexhaustible number of swords that sliced apart the nine wheels of fire. Following that, the runes shot downwards and exploded. The beast could not defend itself, so its organs were blended up by the swords.

Long Chen was stunned by the Heaven Sword Array’s full strength.

No wonder Ling Xi had said the technique was close to being a King-tier technique even though it was only an advanced Heaven-tier. The Category Eight Heaven-tier Nine Wheels Ghost Fire Beast was no match for Long Chen. Although they had a similar amount of Qi, their techniques weren’t on the same level.

After giving Xiaolang the demonic core, Long Chen took the corpse and left. Their battle had caused a huge commotion, and it would be bad if anyone or anything came here right now.

Xiaolang took the demonic core and started refining it once he was back in the Primordial Realm. As for Long Chen, his mission in the third layer of the Demon World was now complete. He was also confident that he could win the assessment.

The other pavilions don’t know about me. I will give them a huge surprise later! Long Chen needed to get his hands on the Emperor Flame Pearl no matter what.

Earthly Martial Realm, Heavenly Martial Realm, and Divine Martial Realm ... I need to be at least at the Divine Martial Realm to be able to meet Ling Xi, but can I grow that strong? No one in this land is above the Heavenly Martial Realm. Of the millions of people in the Cangyang Kingdom and the hundreds of billions of people in the Ten Thousand Nation Territory, even the strongest person has only managed to reach the Heavenly Martial Realm. Will I be able to surpass them?

He was under a lot of stress.

Long Chen stopped thinking about it. Now that he had completed his objective, he headed for the exit. There wasn’t much time left, and he still needed to cultivate the Demonic Illusion.

He couldn’t wait to have a shadow with almost as much strength as himself.

He remembered how he had gotten here, so he quickly retraced his steps back to the entrance. However, two people intercepted him when he was about to reach the exit.

One of them was none other than Ying Shaotian from the Red Ghost King Pavilion, and the other was another man slightly thinner than him. The man was completely dressed in black with black skin. His nimble-looking body shape made Long Chen think that he looked like a black panther, especially his cold eyes. Long Chen could feel the hostility coming from the man. Somehow, he sensed a stronger pressure from him than Ying Shaotian.

The three of them stood still.

“Brother Chen Feng, he’s Jiang Cheng from the Clear Shallows Pavilion. Someone as extraordinary as him is sure to become a pillar of the Clear Shallows Pavilion soon.” Ying Shaotian’s voice was filled with hints of sarcasm.

The man called Chen Feng scoffed. “Stop joking with me. He’s barely qualified to join the assessment, much less become an elder or a pillar.”

“Then you don’t know what I’ve experienced myself. I used the Wind Riding Sword Finger on him, and he somehow managed to avoid it with his incredible speed! You’re always trying to improve your speed, so you should be interested in his escape technique ...” Ying Shaotian chuckled and looked at Long Chen with eyes glimmering with schemes.

No wonder Ying Shaotian was talking in circles. Long Chen understood what he wanted to do—he wanted Chen Feng to get interested in Blood Warp. Long Chen would never give it to him, and then Chen Feng would then attack him. That was a good plan indeed.

The man called Chen Feng lit up with excitement and asked, “Are you certain, Brother Ying?”

“He even managed to escape the Nine Heavens Thunder Talisman. What do you think?”

Chen Feng looked at Long Chen with greed in his eyes. “I am Chen Feng from the Azure Purgatory King Pavilion. Have you heard of me before? I’m the eldest disciple there.”

Long Chen shook his head. “Never heard of you. Are you famous?”

“Not really, but I’m the only disciple who has reached the Ninth Passage Stage in the seven pavilions,” Chen Feng said with pride.

“You haven’t heard of the news? He reached the Ninth Heaven Stage a few days ago and shocked the entire Ancient Demon Domain. It’s natural you don’t know a lot of things. Hahaha ...”

Ninth Passage Stage?

Long Chen looked at the man, and sure enough, he felt the strength of a Ninth Passage Stage cultivator. It appeared that he was indeed the strongest disciple in the seven pavilions, powerful enough to rival a Demon General.

Long Chen knew that there was a massive gap between the Eighth and Ninth Passage Stages, since one could soar in the sky at the Ninth Passage Stage. Since Chen Feng had activated his heavenly meridian point, he could fly too.

“I don’t want to bully you, but Brother Ying says that you have a special technique used to escape. Could you give it to me? I can trade an advanced Heaven-tier technique for it. You can choose either a martial technique, a body tempering method, or even body combat techniques. Judging your strength, that technique is an advanced Heaven-tier technique, right? If we make a trade, you can gain another advanced Heaven-tier technique. What do you think?”

Chen Feng was looking at Long Chen with anticipation. Long Chen was supposed to tearfully accept the offer due to the other party’s identity, and he would get another technique at the same tier, but Long Chen did not budge.

Chen Feng’s face slowly changed.
