Chapter 6225 Curse
Chapter 6225 Curse
Body swapping was a rare secret art, typically used between the main body and a clone. The two would instantly trade places.
Normally, the user would use this secret art to escape death. When cornered, the user could swap their main body for a substitute, allowing the clone to perish in their place.
However, such a technique came with strict conditions: the distance between the two had to be short, and the main body and the clone had to condense a substitute rune in advance.
Due to the harsh requirements, this technique was rarely seen.
However, Long Chen and Huo Linger shared a soul connection. During their time together, Huo Linger had been studying the Infinite-One Technique, and her power had grown tremendously. Her control over flame energy had risen to a new height.
The technique she used now was one she had just developed. It was so refined that, even outside a flame domain, her clone could instantly switch places with Long Chen.
In a flash, Long Chen and Huo Linger’s clone swapped places.
At that moment, Kun Wufa appeared right in front of Long Chen. He had no time to react.
He roared, “So what if you’re Long Chen?! I’ll still—”
Pow!
He couldn’t even finish his sentence before Long Chen’s hand ruthlessly slapped his face.
BOOM!
The power of this attack was immense. Within an explosion of astral light, Kun Wufa was blasted into the void.
In the distance, they heard another explosive sound, and a large hole appeared there.
Within that hole, they saw multiple walls. They were the multiple spatial layers they had passed through to reach this flame world.
“The power of that slap...”
Everyone was shocked. Long Chen’s one slap had actually sent Kun Wufa flying out of the flame world entirely. Whether he lived or died was uncertain.
But one thing was clear—any one of them would have been annihilated if they had taken that blow.
“Damn flame spirit!” Long Biluo shouted, furiously slamming a palm on Huo Linger.
On the other hand, Huo Linger simply smiled, and her body quivered slightly. Then, she swapped places with Long Chen again.
A hand covered in stars met Long Biluo’s palm.
BOOM!
With another explosive sound, Long Biluo was forced back several steps. In clashes of physical strength, she couldn’t beat Long Chen.
“It’s just a flame spirit! We have so many people here! If we all attack together, she can’t stop us!” shouted the Divine Blood Lightning Phoenix race’s Lei Qianlang.
Seeing Kun Wufa flying out of this world, Lei Qianlang looked very happy. With this, he had one less competitor.
Huo Linger simply responded to Lei Qianlang’s cry with a mischievous smile.
The void trembled—and suddenly, millions of Huo Lingers appeared in front of the innate bead.
“It’s not just one flame spirit, you pig!” shouted the millions of Huo Lingers.
Everyone was stunned.
Millions of flame spirits? Did that not mean Long Chen could suddenly swap with any of them?
“Substitution runes can’t be made in an instant! Don’t be fooled!” Lei Qianlang shouted.
“How about you go test it for us?” one expert from another world taunted.
“You—!” Lei Qianlang glared at this guy. Though he didn’t believe every single Huo Linger could swap with Long Chen, he didn’t dare to take the risk either.
With that expert’s words, everyone’s morale fell to the bottom. He was essentially buying time for Long Chen. Was he actually Long Chen’s ally?
Seeing this idiot, Lei Qianlang seethed with fury.
Runes flowed within the innate bead, locking down the majority of it. Once it fully covered the bead, no one would be able to break through it.
Seeing that none of them dared to go forward, Long Biluo cursed, “Gutless cowards!”
Shooting a smile at Long Biluo, Long Chen asked, “What? Have you finally noticed something wrong? Do you feel the curse energy?”
Long Chen’s words startled the surrounding experts. They then looked at Long Biluo and saw something shocking.
Red specks had appeared within her Sovereign flames. If not for Long Chen’s comment, they would have assumed the red specks were part of her power. But now, they could feel it: a faint trace of curse energy.
“That’s right. The Eight Desolation Devil Subduing Spear is from the Jiuli race. And Long Biluo is one of them. When she absorbed the power of this world—AH!” someone cried out, realizing what the issue was.
The Primal Chaos Vermilion Bird had been slain by the Jiuli race. Of course, it hated them most. Since the laws of this world contained the bird’s will, by drawing this world’s power into her manifestation, Long Biluo essentially drank poison.
They now understood why the previously unstoppable Long Biluo was suddenly being suppressed.
She had also noticed this problem. If she were to dispel her manifestation, she would be able to expel the curse.
Yet, if she continued fighting, this curse energy would not only affect her combat power, but it would even sink into her body and soul.
“Long Chen, you really are a schemer,” said Long Biluo coldly.
“Hah, how funny. You poisoned yourself and now blame me? Heavenly geniuses like you really are loathsome,” Long Chen sneered.
“Don’t get too cocky! Even with this curse, it doesn’t mean you’ll walk out of here alive! I can still kill you while suppressing it!” she growled.
Turning to the others, Long Biluo shouted, “This is your best chance to seize the Primal Chaos Vermilion Bird! You don’t need me to spell it out for you!”
After that, Long Biluo formed a series of hand seals, and her Sovereign flames blazed, condensing into a Sovereign flame ring.
Suddenly, the void beneath her feet exploded.
“Jiuli Divine Blood Ignites the Heavens!”
Long Biluo’s voice echoed like a war drum. A terrifying power swept through the world, blasting everyone back.
Only Long Chen remained standing before her. The violent winds whipped through his hair and clothing, forcing him back ever so slightly.
“Her aura... it’s at least ten times stronger than before! What kind of monster is she?!” someone exclaimed, gritting their teeth against the wind.
Even though the other experts had tried their best to resist, they were still forced back.
“You’re finally willing to use your trump card?” Long Chen smiled. “Then I won’t hide mine, either.”
Behind him, a boundless starry sea unfolded. One by one, the starry gates started to open.
