Chapter 6409 Lord Ming Cang
Chapter 6409 Lord Ming Cang
“Lord Long Chen, that person has finished merging his Sovereign flames. He’s condensed a true Sovereign flame!” Xi Yuanqing warned, sensing the change.
A chill ran down his spine, and his instinct told him that the moment this man joined the fight, they would stand no chance. Retreat was the wisest course.
“Uncle Fan, you should retreat further with them. I don’t want you to get bloodstained. Let us see how strong someone who has merged 999 Sovereign flames into one is!” Long Chen instructed, gazing at that figure calmly.
The Sovereign Dragon Divine Nest slowly moved back, distancing itself from the battlefield and Long Chen. The attackers interpreted this as a retreat and only redoubled their assaults.
Still, the rhino dragon race had grown stronger. The pressure of death drew out their innate talent, and they could grasp their opponents’ weaknesses more quickly.
This was a very heaven-defying talent. Once awakened, they would be able to fight across realms.
Meanwhile, these outsider dragon experts were so consumed by greed that their movements were uncoordinated. Their numbers were rapidly dwindling.
At this moment, the expert who had merged his Sovereign flames stood. The flames covering him were so dense that his figure was indistinguishable.
Seeing this, the experts attacking Long Chen threw themselves at him with reckless abandon. In their minds, once the newly ascended powerhouse entered the fray, their chance to seize the Heaven Earth Cauldron would vanish.
It was clear now that these outsider dragon races were not truly allied with the vile dragon race. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be this desperate, risking everything just to take the Earth Cauldron for themselves.
Their madness reached such a degree that even Cang Lu couldn’t keep up with all of them. Countless divine weapons rained down on Evilmoon’s barrier. Cracks spiderwebbed across its surface, as though one last push would shatter it.
“Evilmoon, you’re not going to break, right?” Long Chen asked, finally growing a bit worried upon seeing this.
With so many lunatics attacking, if the barrier were to fall before Long Chen entered a combat-ready state, things could turn dire.
“Don’t worry about it. Against attacks of this level... hmm, how do you usually say it? Ah, I could last until autumn of next year!” Evilmoon replied.
It turned out those cracks were only for show. Even against this many concentrated blows, Evilmoon hadn’t been shaken in the slightest.
Hearing that, Long Chen relaxed. If they couldn’t get in, then he could just keep acting weak and let Cang Lu slaughter them.
Driven by greed, the horde hammered at the barrier with no regard for their own safety, leaving their backs wide open. Then, Cang Lu’s Bloodfiend Halberd swung through the air, continuously slaughtering these experts.
In just a few breaths, thousands of powerful experts had fallen to his halberd, their blood mist thickening until it almost formed a crimson lake. Under the waves of slaughter, the barrier kept trembling.
At last, some experts started to realize that something was wrong. They looked from Cang Lu, who was cutting through them like wheat, and then to the calm Long Chen, who was standing within the barrier.
A few of the sharper ones finally suppressed their greed with reason. They turned pale and started to retreat from the battlefield, their instincts screaming that they had walked right into a trap.
However, some of them instead moved toward the Sovereign Dragon Divine Nest.
They felt like the Heaven Earth Cauldron was so alluring that even if they did obtain it, they wouldn’t live to enjoy it. It would be better to set their sights on the Sovereign Dragon Divine Nest. Even if they couldn’t obtain the whole thing, there were definitely some treasures inside. They wouldn’t be leaving empty-handed.
BOOM!
At this moment, a flamestorm unfurled from the expert with the true Sovereign flame, blasting away the experts pressing Long Chen.
It even forced Cang Lu to stop attacking them. Defending with the Bloodfiend Halberd, he barely held his ground.
Evilmoon’s barrier trembled under the assault. This was no feint—these flames genuinely threatened the barrier.
“Lord Ming Cang has come out of seclusion!” a group of vile dragon experts shouted excitedly.
They all seemed to revere him.
“Ming Cang?” Long Chen narrowed his eyes in surprise.
As Ming Cang stepped from the endless fire, the void around him shattered like an eggshell. Immersed in multicolored flames, the blessing of the Heavenly Daos descended upon him without reservation.
“Long Chen, I’ve heard of you, and I really admire you. If you are willing to become my subordinate, then I, Ming Cang, will grant you endless glory.”
Ming Cang approached, stepping through the air with multicolored divine light soaking his body. As he walked, the flames around him slowly dispersed, revealing his true appearance.
He was an icily handsome man with electric eyes and a terrifying presence. Golden dragon horns rose from his head, ringed by flowing runes like a crown. It was a sign of a noble bloodline above the rest.
Just like that, everyone stopped fighting and retreated.
Respect and hatred warred in their faces. Ming Cang’s arrival made clear that whatever treasures here had no further fate with them. His entrance meant that even those with 999 Sovereign flames were simply insects before him, unable to resist him.
If they were smart, they would give up any intention of touching any treasure he wanted. Otherwise, they would only bring calamity to themselves.
As Evilmoon’s barrier dispersed, Long Chen studied Ming Cang.
“I really didn’t expect this. Did Long Wu not try to kill you?” Long Chen asked.
Long Xu[1] had told Long Chen about the situation in their vile dragon race. This time, three of their peak heavenly geniuses had entered the heaven region’s battlefield, originating from three of the vile dragon race’s strongest bloodlines. Of the three of them, Long Wu was the strongest.
Long Xu had never met the other two peak geniuses, but he knew that Long Wu viewed them as threats. One of those two was called Ming Cang.
Back then, Long Xu had guessed that after losing to Long Chen, Long Wu would go find the other two and force them to obey him. If the two did not lower their heads to him, he would definitely kill them. He wouldn’t give them any chance to grow stronger than him.
After all, Long Wu needed to borrow the strength of the entire vile dragon race to push himself to higher realms. Then, he would get his vengeance on Long Chen.
“Long Wu?” Ming Cang laughed, tilting his head. He met Long Chen’s gaze. “If you join me, I’ll wring Long Wu’s head off and give it to you.”
