Chapter 6245 A Trace of Divine Sovereign Blood
Lei Yuner was just about to strike with the lightning spear when the black qi around the devil condensed into a colossal hand that crashed toward her.
Long Chen’s expression changed. If that attack landed, she would be annihilated—her body and soul erased without a trace.
Starlight flashed beneath his feet as he prepared to rush in, ready to burn his God Slaying Cross if necessary. But before he could move, lightning erupted from Lei Yuner.
A giant falcon-shaped divine bird manifested, colliding head-on with the black hand. Both powers shattered, canceling each other out. It seemed like Long Chen didn’t need to intervene.
A flicker of surprise crossed Long Chen’s face. Lei Yuner was most likely possessed by that lightning-attribute bird. It seemed that this nine star heir had been its companion.
The devil sneered, “Your body has already rotted away. If your soul weren’t hiding in your divine runes, you’d have perished long ago. Now you’re pouring the last scraps of your strength into a Human Emperor girl? How much power can you truly wield through her? Do you think two little ants can stop me? You’ll make me choke from laughter.”
“Great nine star heir, you must stop it from devouring my master’s soul!” Lei Yuner transmitted urgently. “If it succeeds, it will grow stronger quickly, and the experts of the nine heavens across this battlefield will be slaughtered!”
As Lei Yuner was under someone else’s control, her voice and soul fluctuations carried an alien edge.
“This girl’s body is a suitable vessel for me,” the lightning bird continued through her. “But she’s too weak to bear my full strength. In any case, ordinary divine arts are useless against this devil, but stronger ones would destroy this body. I can stall him for a bit, and you must find a way to kill him!”
Without waiting for an answer, lightning blazed around Lei Yuner and she lunged forward, with a lighting spear in hand.
Her lightning spear tore apart the encroaching black chains, but even with such power, she couldn’t break through to the devil’s body.
“Senior, I will look for a chance!” replied Long Chen.
From the opposite flank, he struck. Flames roared from his body, accompanied by the resonant chanting of scripture.
Huo Linger appeared at his side, pouring all her flame essence into him.
“The Nirvana Scripture?! How can a nine star heir know the Nirvana Scripture?!” the giant devil exclaimed, its voice cracking in disbelief.
Just as he was distracted, Lei Yuner’s lightning falcon reappeared behind her.
The next moment, her Sovereign flames blazed, and her attacks grew even more ferocious.
In Long Chen’s palm, a flame lotus bloomed. Then, the world’s ambient fire essence ignited, flooding into it. In just a few seconds, the giant trees in the jungle turned to ash.
“World Extermination Flame Lotus!” Long Chen shouted, hurtling the flame lotus toward the devil’s corpse.
“Hmph! An ant’s trick. Dark Wall—block it!” shouted the devil.
Black qi condensed into a wall before the devil. Fortunately, Lei Yuner cooperated well.
“Lightning Bird Slash!”
Lei Yuner’s falcon manifestation swept its blazing wings, unleashing a slash from the opposite side.
This way, they could split the devil’s focus. Then she and Long Chen would have a chance of breaking its defenses.
The devil sneered, “You’re merely ants! Don’t even think of touching this Sovereign!”
Another black wall rose before Lei Yuner. The two walls curved inward until they met, forming a circular barrier around the devil.
At this sight, Long Chen’s lips curved faintly.
The next moment, his hands blurred in one-handed seals. The flame lotus slowed and then suddenly accelerated.
BOOM!
Lei Yuner’s attack landed first. The barrier shuddered, its runes surging toward her point of impact.
“Shit!”
The devil’s expression changed. Only now did it recall the fatal weakness of this technique.
The devil was nothing more than a discarnate soul. Without the vast Spiritual Strength of its original body, its control over magical arts became subpar.
The barrier it conjured was designed to evenly distribute its power. But when struck hard, the energy instinctively flowed toward the impact point, leaving other sections weakened.
So, if Long Chen and Lei Yuner had attacked at the exact same moment, the barrier’s strength would have split evenly. However, their staggered timing meant Lei Yuner’s strike drew away nearly eighty percent of its power. With the devil’s crude control, it couldn’t correct the imbalance fast enough.
BOOM!
The flame lotus smashed in before the devil could react. Then, wildfire exploded, shredding the barrier entirely.
From the sea of flames, a hand shot forth—its palm bearing a starry cross—and slammed into the devil’s massive body.
The impact made the devil’s body tremble violently. Meanwhile, a crushing backlash surged through Long Chen’s arm, nearly shattering it. He grunted in pain as he was blasted away.
“How... can this be?!” Long Chen exclaimed, staring in disbelief at that devil. Even his full-force strike couldn’t destroy the corpse.
Charred flesh sloughed away like molten tar, but beneath it, a black-iron skeleton still stood.
Long Chen instantly understood: the devil’s discarnate soul was inside its bone runes, and his attack hadn’t broken them.
“AHHH!” the devil roared. It seemed that this attack brought it immense pain.
Endless black qi erupted from its bones, and faint flames started to lick across the runes. Then, a crushing Sovereign might flooded the battlefield.
“Not good! Thanks to the offerings of its race, it has condensed a trace of Sovereign blood!” Lei Yuner warned, her expression instantly pale.
Over the years, the devil race had been feeding it with power. Originally, it was suppressed by the nine star heir, but it gradually gained the upper hand. This trace of Sovereign blood was enough to make Long Chen and the others helpless.
The devil’s aura grew even more terrifying. Furthermore, after being injured, it seemed to enter a berserk state.
“Damn ants! Go to hell!” The devil’s roar shook the heavens.
After that, a skeletal claw wreathed in black flame swept down toward Long Chen and Lei Yuner like a falling mountain.
