Chapter 6952 The Care of the Heavens
Long Chen jumped in shock. Even after using so many trump cards, they still couldn’t seal it completely?
If the Dark Feather Blaze Devil really exploded, none of them would survive!
“Spirit Heart Lock!”
At that crucial moment, Xin Yu went all out. The Dark Feather Blaze Devil’s body trembled, and the wild power it was gathering broke apart right away.
“Good job, Xin Yu!” Long Chen praised sincerely.
Xin Yu looked a little pale, but she was excited. Saving everyone at such a crucial moment felt incredible.
Because the Dark Feather Blaze Devil was sealed, her Spirit Heart Lock worked much better. Moreover, she had learned from before and only used it for a moment to avoid any backlash.
After all, she didn’t need to bind it, only interrupt its self-detonation.
Xin Yu took a medicinal pill then said, “Everyone, keep going! I’ll look after this fellow. There won’t be any self-detonation today!”
With Xin Yu as their trump card, everyone happily kept extracting the devil flames. The Dark Feather Blaze Devil’s power kept getting weaker, and the seal grew stronger. As time went on, they felt safer.
This devil qi was very nourishing for Cang Lu. Even though he was still a double manifestation Divine Sovereign and couldn’t raise his realm further, he could store the devil qi for later.
Also, this devil qi was extremely pure. Even without law power, it was strong enough to crush armies of double manifestation Divine Sovereigns.
Cang Lu started to transform as the Bloodfiend Halberd absorbed the remaining devil qi. This divine weapon had no realm restrictions. While it was classified as a Divine Sovereign law item, an average one would be insignificant compared to it.
The Bloodfiend Halberd greedily absorbed the devil qi, making its runes flash. A low murmur, like a devil’s growl, could be heard as its aura kept rising.
However, the most frightening change was in the Golden Crows. As they circled Huo Linger, their bodies and auras grew with every turn.
The Blaze Devil’s flames were their lifeforce. As the Golden Crows absorbed them, they slowly gained the auras of double manifestation Divine Sovereigns.
An army of double manifestation Divine Sovereign Golden Crows with undying bodies would be truly unstoppable.
Meanwhile, Huo Linger’s aura stayed the same. She gave some of the flame energy to the Golden Crows, kept some for herself, and shared the rest with Chi Yutong and Yan Li.
At first, Chi Yutong and Yan Li couldn’t handle the powerful flame energy. Huo Linger started them off with a small amount, but as they got used to it, she gave them more.
Chi Yutong was surrounded by the Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze. Its aura kept growing stronger. At this moment, dragon veins stretched across the sky, as if drawing in the luck of heaven and earth.
Behind Yan Li, the Fusang Tree swayed. The Golden Crow shone with divine light, its feathers looking like pure gold, each one as sharp as a blade.
The Fusang Tree grew quickly. With the flame energy, it gained its own special life aura.
Zi Nuo stood above Yan Li, surrounded by the twelve disciples of the Wine God Palace. Their eyes were closed. They gripped their swords, ready to draw them, but stood completely still like statues.
No light shone from their bodies, and there was no manifestation. Still, the space around them kept twisting, with cracks sometimes appearing as if sharp blades were dancing around them.
Moreover, each of their auras grew sharper, as if being honed by an invisible grindstone.
“Damn it, are you really treating me like a piece of meat?!” the Dark Feather Blaze Devil shouted.
“Shut up! Spirit Heart Lock!” Xin Yu shouted in response, causing the Dark Feather Blaze Devil’s body to shudder.
“You little bitch, don’t give me a chance, or I’ll devour your soul!”
The Dark Feather Blaze Devil was going insane. It had tried to self-detonate many times to drag them down, but Xin Yu always stopped it.
Now its core energy was being drained quickly, and the seal grew stronger. Soon, it wouldn’t even be able to self-destruct, but there was nothing it could do.
It started to regret its choices. If it had known Long Chen was so cunning, it wouldn’t have been greedy and would have killed them right away. If it had used all its power, defeating Long Chen and the others would have been easy.
But if it had gone all out, its nirvanic rebirth would have failed. Still, that would have been better than ending up like this
With the Dark Feather Blaze Devil under control, Yue Xiaoqian finally relaxed and spoke to Long Chen.
“Long Chen, you’re amazing. How did you know things would turn out this way?”
Shaking his head, Long Chen replied, “You give me too much credit. I couldn’t predict everything. I just took it step by step. Maybe we got here because of luck, or maybe it was fate.”
Xin Yu quickly said, “Hmph, I don’t believe someone as sneaky as you didn’t have a plan!”
Long Chen corrected, “It’s called strategy!”
“If it’s a strategy, it’s a dirty one! Spirit Heart Lock!”
Even while talking, Xin Yu kept watching the Dark Feather Blaze Devil.
The Dark Feather Blaze Devil cursed, “You fucker!”
Long Chen said, “Actually, when we entered the Devil Suppressing Illusion Realm, I saw two choices. One was to play it safe, and the other was to take a risk.
“The safe option was to drag the Dark Feather Blaze Devil into a long fight during its nirvanic rebirth. We could get some benefits during the fight. As long as we didn’t mess up its rebirth, it wouldn’t go all out, and we could slowly wear it down.
“But in that case, we could only take a limited amount of its power. If we pushed too far, it would attack us with everything it had, and we’d have to run.
“The second, riskier option was what we actually did. If Xiaoqian failed to place her seal, we’d have to escape right away and get nothing.
“But if we succeeded, we wouldn’t just get the Dark Feather Blaze Devil—we’d get everything in the Devil Suppressing Illusion Realm. Under the principle of ‘guts equal profit’, I chose the second option, and the heavens really did look after me.”
Actually, there was another big reason Long Chen chose the second option. Before the great era arrived, he had something very important to do and couldn’t afford to waste time here.
If things hadn’t worked out, he would have had to rush off to handle that task. But even though it was dangerous, he still managed to defeat the Dark Feather Blaze Devil.
Also, after this test, he realized his luck wasn’t as bad as it used to be.
BOOM!
Suddenly, a loud explosion cut off their conversation.
