Chapter 1873: Lord Brahma’s Wrath
Long Chen smiled sinisterly . Upon activating the Nirvana Scripture, the black flame lotus in his hand rapidly grew . Flame energy surged toward him from every direction .
“Bastard, if you dare to block me, you’ll also die!” roared Huo Lieyun, his expression changing upon seeing that black lotus . As a flame cultivator, he could sense its power . If it was during normal times, perhaps he wouldn’t be afraid . But now, if he was blocked, the ox-head devil behind him would catch up .
“I don’t believe that . I want to try . ” Seeing Huo Lieyun rushing over, Long Chen didn’t have time for the flame lotus to grow to its peak . He threw it at him .
“You’re courting death!” Huo Lieyun furiously stabbed his spear at the flame lotus . He activated his divine item’s power .
Black and red flames exploded . The world shuddered .
Flames spread out in every direction . Just at that moment, seventy-two golden dragon teeth pierced through the flames at Huo Lieyun .
Huo Lieyun’s expression was extremely ugly . Seventy-two dragon teeth at the same time meant that he had no choice but to block them with his full power .
“Endless Flame Domain, Lord Brahma’s Wrath!”
The flame gate behind Huo Lieyun opened once more . A hand of flames reached out from within it, holding a giant sword .
That flaming sword had just appeared when Huo Lieyun turned as pale as paper . This was his trump card used only for dealing fatal blows . Using it required a heavy price .
BOOM!
The flame spear slashed into the dragon teeth . The flame sword exploded, while Long Chen’s dragon teeth were all sent flying .
“How powerful!” Long Chen was surprised . He had utilized seventy-two dragon teeth this time and had been thinking that they would be enough to kill him . However, Huo Lieyun had his trump cards as well .
BOOM!
However, Long Chen’s attack knocked Huo Lieyun back . Behind him was the ox-head devil, and one of its huge palms smashed toward him .
Despite doing his best to block, Huo Lieyun was sent smashing into the ground . It was unknown if he survived .
Just as Huo Lieyun was struck, three other giant palms came smashing toward Long Chen .
Long Chen had no time to observe Huo Lieyun’s condition and directly activated the Celestial Lightning Body Blink . The huge gate was behind him, and he charged in .
BOOM!
Just as he thought that he had escaped by entering the gate, the gate exploded, and he was sent flying by a powerful qi wave .
“Long Chen!”
Long Chen had just appeared when he heard Chu Yao’s startled cry . She, Liu Ruyan, and Ye Lingshan had been anxiously waiting for him .
With the destruction of the gate, the vines protecting the gate were blown apart .
The sky was torn apart . A giant crack appeared, and those ox-head devils actually tore through the spatial gate that led to their own minor world .
“Get back!” shouted Long Chen .
“Long Chen, what are you planning on doing?!” shouted Ye Lingshan .
“Just get back . I have business to handle . ” After saying that, Long Chen shot forward, slashing the ox-head devils with a lightning blade .
This lightning blade was easily blown apart by one of their palms, but this attack was just to draw their attention . They began charging at Long Chen .
Long Chen turned and fled, while those ox-head devils crazily chased him . In an instant, Long Chen arrived in the giant mountain range . Here, there were countless formations protecting them .
BOOM!
One of them stamped straight on one of the mountains, crushing it . When that ox-head devil touched it, the formations in the surroundings lit up . A pillar of light shot out of each of the small trees growing at the peak of the mountains, and they converged together to strike the ox-head devils .
Swords of light pierced through their bodies, and blood splashed . However, their bodies were giant, and these swords of light were unable to cause any fatal damage .
The ox-head devils roared furiously . They began smashing their fists on the ground .
Their terrifying power caused huge shockwaves that shook the grand formation intensely .
Suddenly, those small trees exploded, and the formations rapidly dimmed .
“Quick, gather the plants . I’ll draw their attention!” shouted Long Chen .
Lightning flashed around him brightly, as he was worried that the ox-head devils wouldn’t notice him . He began rushing in one direction .
The ox-head devils roared and chased after him . They quickly caught up, but their giant bodies made them look like humongous gorillas trying to swat a fly .
Chaos reigned . Long Chen danced and weaved through their claws . It was incredibly dangerous . Being struck by one would turn him into a pancake .
Chu Yao, Liu Ruyan, and Ye Lingshan gathered the plants as quickly as they could . Liu Ruyan and Chu Yao in particular were gathering them mountain by mountain, and their efficiency was extremely great .
“Long Chen, we’re done! Run!” shouted Chu Yao .
“Die!”
Suddenly, a blood-colored spear pierced out of the air at Chu Yao’s back . At some point, Huo Lieyun had also arrived, and his first target was Chu Yao .
“Endless Falling Wood, Undying Wall!” The first one to react was Liu Ruyan . The ground erupted, and one giant wooden wall appeared after another .
Each wall was actually a strange tree . After taking the shape of a shield, countless roots pierced into the grounds . It was incredibly tough .
The tough wooden shields exploded one by one in front of Huo Lieyun’s divine item . In order to kill Chu Yao, Huo Lieyun was going all-out .
Nine wooden shields exploded in just an instant . In front of the spear, they appeared weak . However, once the nine wooden shields were destroyed, Chu Yao’s figure had vanished .
What replaced Chu Yao was a sword shining with brilliant divine light . It transformed into a starry ray of light that pierced toward Huo Lieyun .
BOOM!
Huo Lieyun’s spear met it head-on . After blowing through the nine wooden shields, less than half of its power remained . As a result, this clash caused Huo Lieyun’s body to shudder . He coughed up a mouthful of blood, flying back . He almost lost hold of his spear .
Sharp thorns shot out of the ground behind him as he flew back . The wooden thorns pierced his body .
Chu Yao had summoned them . Liu Ruyan had blocked the attack for her, and she had immediately moved and switched to a counterattack .
Those wooden thorns were just about to transform Huo Lieyun’s body into wood, turning him into a wooden block, when Huo Lieyun let out a shout . “Blood Flame Devours the Heavens!”
Huo Lieyun’s bloodline power erupted . His blood was like lava, incinerating Chu Yao’s wooden thorns .
Having failed his sneak attack, Huo Lieyun had almost died . Seeing Liu Ruyan summon a giant willow tree, he wisely flapped a pair of flame wings and fled into the mist surrounding this region . He vanished .
Chu Yao, Liu Ruyan, and Ye Lingshan were shaken inside . Huo Lieyun was truly terrifying . He was clearly already heavily injured but had still possessed such power . Even the three of them together had been unable to keep him from fleeing .
“Let’s get out while we can!” Just at this moment, Long Chen flew over . The four of them flew toward the mist together .
It was unknown if the ox-headed devil beasts were afraid of the mist or had finally reached some limit, but after circling a few times in front of the mist, they stopped . After letting out a few unwilling roars, they returned to their ruined world .
Inside the mist, the four of them exchanged a glance and laughed . That was the delight of escaping from death .
“Stimulating, definitely stimulating . It was almost stimulating to death,” laughed Long Chen . He collapsed on the ground, sitting on his butt .
“It was definitely stimulating… I almost lost my life . When I was trapped underground, I thought I was doomed . But those angry ox-head devils actually tore apart the earth, and that’s the only way I escaped . ” Ye Lingshan sighed deeply .
“These ox-head devils are terrifying . Perhaps their power can compare to peak Netherpassage experts . To be able to escape is definitely fortunate . As for Huo Lieyun, he was powerful enough to withstand their attacks . No wonder he is so arrogant . He has the capital to be arrogant,” said Chu Yao . She took out a set of black robes for Long Chen to change into .
Long Chen’s black robes were broken at his arms and covered in blood and holes .
All of Long Chen’s robes were personally sown by Chu Yao . Even when she had been the princess of the empire, she had always been skilled in the feminine arts .
Long Chen put on the new robes, and Chu Yao also tidied up his hair . He felt much more refreshed .
Feeling Chu Yao’s soft movements, Long Chen smiled . “He was really powerful . That ox-headed devil actually didn’t kill him in one blow . ”
Long Chen explained how he had blocked Huo Lieyun and how the latter had been struck head-on . The three of them couldn’t help finding it funny that a generation’s genius had almost been conned to death by Long Chen .
“No wonder he would target Chu Yao . It’s your fault,” said Liu Ruyan coldly .
“He didn’t want to kill just me, but all of us . I was just at the best angle for him,” said Chu Yao . Although there was some truth to that, she was protecting Long Chen .
“Let’s go . We should find somewhere safe to check our harvest . ” The four of them left this place together .
