Chapter 6431 Son of Prophecy
Chapter 6431 Son of Prophecy
The broken runes were like a sea of people searching for their long-lost companions. Once they found each other, they merged seamlessly, forming new patterns of light.
This merging process devoured several times more Sovereign flame energy than before.
As time passed, complete runes gradually formed within the violet Sovereign flames. Two hours later, tens of thousands of runes floated in the sky, gleaming like stars. Everyone watching felt their hearts tighten.
“Long Chen, this is where we failed last time. Be cautious!” Yue Xiaoqian warned, her face pale. The memory of their previous collapse haunted her.
“Don’t worry!” assured Long Chen.
Yue Xiaoqian pressed her palms together, divine light surging from her body as it linked with the runes.
BOOM!
The moment she did, Long Chen’s Sovereign flames were consumed in a frenzy. He could feel his energy rapidly draining away.
Seeing this, the original devil race’s experts went numb.
How could a person’s Sovereign flame energy be so immense?
Last time, they hadn’t been able to sustain this level of energy demand. Their strength had been drained dry, and the freshly-formed runes had collapsed in an instant.
Now, those same runes once again linked together, forming chains of light as more and more Sovereign flame energy poured into them.
“Long Chen...!” Fei Shuang cried out anxiously.
Long Chen’s Sovereign flame energy was clearly dropping. Once exhausted, everything would be for naught.
“Let’s ignite our souls!” shouted one of the experts. “It’ll lighten his burden!”
“No need!” Long Chen waved off this suggestion, his expression still confident.
The energy consumption was indeed terrifying. His violet blood Sovereign flames were nearly exhausted. But just as the last traces of violet fire started to fade, Long Chen formed a one-handed seal.
In an instant, the violet sky transformed into a brilliant seven-colored world. Vast Sovereign might surged outward like a tidal wave, shaking heaven and earth.
“Long Chen has two types of Sovereign flames?!” the original devil race’s experts cried out in shock.
The heavens burned with seven-colored flames, while a faint violet will intertwined with them, shaking the world with its might.
The seven-colored Sovereign flames clashed and exploded among themselves, so intense that Long Chen was forced to use his Spiritual Strength to contain them. Fortunately, the runes were greedily absorbing every bit of that energy on their own. That was why Long Chen was so confident.
More and more runes linked together, crazily consuming energy in order to smelt themselves. The seven-colored Sovereign flames blazed at full power, feeding the formation without restraint.
Before long, a huge formation disc appeared in the air—woven entirely from those endless runic chains.
At the disc’s center, countless runes continued to spin, drawing even more energy. As they accelerated, Long Chen’s Sovereign flame energy was consumed even faster.
“Heavens, it still isn’t over?!”
The original devil race’s experts were horrified. Back then, they had thought they were only a step away from completion—yet now, they found that they were unfathomably far from success.
The process dragged on for two whole hours. During that time, Long Chen’s seven-colored Sovereign flames started to wane.
Despair spread among them. If activating the ancestral altar demanded this much energy, then it was truly harder than ascending the heavens.
Just then, a dragon’s cry tore through heaven and earth, and another set of Sovereign flames erupted from Long Chen.
“Long Chen...!” the original devil race’s experts shouted in excitement.
As the dragon blood Sovereign flames appeared, its Sovereign might broke through the sky, looking like it would shatter the restrictions of this world.
Even as the formation disc devoured the energy in a frenzy, some of the dragon blood Sovereign flames broke free of its pull and spilled outward.
From this alone, it was clear—Long Chen’s violet blood Sovereign flames were the gentlest, his dragon blood Sovereign flames the fiercest, and his seven-colored flames fell somewhere in between.
Their destructive power followed the same order. The dragon blood Sovereign flames were the most violent, followed by the seven-colored, with the violet blood the weakest.
Yet in battle, it was the opposite. Though the violet blood Sovereign flames were the mildest, they were the only ones Long Chen could fully control, making them the most dependable in combat.
Meanwhile, the other two were too wild. While their power was immense, they were unpredictable. Using them recklessly would be courting death.
For now, his violet blood Sovereign flames remained his true strength. The others would have to be slowly subdued over time. He couldn’t use them in combat yet.
However, the moment the dragon blood Sovereign flames ignited, the formation disc’s construction accelerated dramatically.
Finally, when roughly forty percent of his dragon blood Sovereign flames were spent, the vast formation disc trembled, and a giant “Devil” character appeared at its center.
The “Devil” character emitted a sacred aura that shook the world. Its resonance felt like a divine decree echoing from the primal chaos era itself.
The sound wasn’t heard—it was felt, reverberating directly through the soul.
A “Devil” character should have been a symbol of terror and corruption, yet this one was imbued with righteousness and majesty. It felt like a heavenly edict—something that no mortal dared to defy.
The “Devil” characters on everyone’s foreheads began to resonate. Yue Xiaoqian and all the original devil race members knelt in reverence as sacred light enveloped them.
The ground trembled. From the depths, translucent figures slowly rose. They were ancient shades with faint, indistinct forms. Yet, each of them had a shining “Devil” character on their foreheads as well.
Awe struck Long Chen’s heart. The aura they emanated was not demonic—it was pure, noble, and filled with boundless righteousness that swept away all darkness.
One by one, more figures appeared. The ancient aura they possessed clearly didn’t match this era. As they formed hand seals, sacred chanting rang out. A powerful blessing energy covered everyone from the original devil race.
Long Chen was shocked to see Sovereign flames being born, appearing one after another. Some experts even condensed three new Sovereign flames in a single breath. If he weren’t witnessing it himself, he would have thought it impossible. The speed was absurd.
“No... this isn’t merely a blessing,” Long Chen murmured. “This is faith inheritance. Their ancestors sealed their power within this altar, using faith as a bridge to transmit their strength across time and space to their descendants.”
He was shaken to the core by such a method. But then, a chill ran down his spine as another thought emerged.
Lord Brahma... does he possess a similar method?
If the Brahma line had used such methods over countless years, with their vast foundation, then how many hidden elites could they have already nurtured in secret? Perhaps even legions of them.
“Great nine star heir, the legendary son of prophecy... what is it that troubles your heart?”
A gentle voice suddenly echoed beside Long Chen’s ear.
As he turned back, the world suddenly shifted.
