Chapter 7262 Terrifying Potential
“The Earth Barbarians are still here! They haven’t been taken by others yet!”
Just as the Earth Barbarians had packed up and were ready to say goodbye to their homes, countless outsider devils came flying from the horizon. When they saw the Earth Barbarians, they thought that they had caught them in the middle of an attempt to flee. They were delighted by this discovery! In fact, they were so delighted that they didn’t even notice the scent of blood that still lingered in the air from the last battle.
“Quick, capture them alive!”
The leader was a green-faced half-step Heavenly Sovereign with fangs sticking out of his mouth. They had only just received word of the Earth Barbarian town’s location. They viewed these people as medicinal pills in human form, and immediately came out in full force. There were a dozen half-step Heavenly Sovereigns leading an army of billions.
With just one look, they could tell that the Earth Barbarians wouldn’t be able to resist. There was only a single half-step Heavenly Sovereign, and one of the others had even touched the threshold.
With such a huge advantage, there was no need for any strategy. They simply swarmed the place. They had to end things quickly to prevent other tribes from suddenly showing up and fighting over them.
Just as those half-step Heavenly Sovereigns flew out, blood-colored petals emitting a demonic, chilling light appeared before them.
“What are these?”
The outsider devils had never seen such a weapon. Just as they were dazed, those petals tore through their bodies.
“Eh? How are the outsider half-step Heavenly Sovereigns so weak?” Long Chen was startled. Just before, he had accidentally killed a group of half-step Heavenly Sovereigns. He had felt that they truly were weak, much weaker than the half-step Heavenly Sovereigns of the nine heavens.
He had thought it was just an accident, or maybe it was due to his abrupt increase in power, but now, he was certain that neither was the case. These half-step Heavenly Sovereigns had the aura and pressure of their realm, but lacked the actual power. Even though he was now a tenth-Heavenstage Sovereign Lord and was much stronger, half-step Heavenly Sovereigns definitely shouldn’t be so weak.
“A human!”
The leader suddenly noticed Long Chen, and his expression completely changed.
With a flash, Long Chen appeared in front of him. The elder hastily waved the staff in his hand.
Pow!
With one slap to the face, Long Chen blew apart that elder’s head.
“Too weak! So weak that it doesn’t make sense!”
This confirmed everything. Just now, Long Chen had not put any power at all into his strike; he had just been trying to stun the elder and capture him alive for a soulsearch.
Something’s strange here!...
Long Chen immediately tried to recall the petals, only to find that it was too late. Those supposed half-step Heavenly Sovereigns had already been killed.
“Warriors of the Earth Barbarian race, charge! Don’t leave a single one alive... No, not you! The elderly, the children, the women, and the sick do not need to fight! ” shouted Long Chen.
The women, children, and elders were already holding weapons and seemed ready to fight. They were startled by this order. After all, every single member of their race was a warrior; they were born warriors, and they would fight until the day they died.
Of course, Long Chen had no bias against any of them, but he knew that there would be immense casualties if they were to join in. They would definitely fight in a suicidal manner, for nothing else but to prove that they had value to Long Chen. In that case, even if the opposing army wasn’t strong, considering their tremendous numbers, there would definitely be many casualties among the Earth Barbarians.
“Kill!”
The healthy warriors of the Earth Barbarian race charged out. And indeed, just as Long Chen had expected, they immediately went all-out and didn’t care about injuries to themselves. Flesh and blood exploded where they went.
Their weapons were primitive, and some of them were directly destroyed when clashing with their enemies, but they simply continued attacking without batting an eye, relying on nothing other than their bare hands.
Their physical bodies were very tough and powerful. They were able to block their enemies’ weapons barehanded, rip their flesh apart, and shatter bone. Even as they suffered injuries upon injuries, they were like wild beasts; the injuries only made them fight harder.
Long Chen discovered that as they killed their enemies, the earth under their feet rippled, sending some kind of energy into them. The earth looks after them... Even though they’re outsiders, the earth of the nine heavens still blesses them. Perhaps the earth cares only about their character, not their origins...
A thought suddenly struck Long Chen. If the original devil race was like this, and Earth Barbarians were also like this, then perhaps there were others as well. Maybe not all outsiders were dead set on conquering the nine heavens and killing everyone here. After all, if the very earth of the nine heavens was willing to accept them, why couldn’t he? Perhaps there really was no need to kill all the outsiders.
The Earth Barbarians were severely outnumbered. There were only a few million fighting on their side. But the other side’s elites had been killed, and their morale had hit rock bottom as a result. The Earth Barbarians were slaughtering them in a one-sided massacre. They fought more and more fiercely.
Some of the outsider devils tried to flee when they saw this, only to run right into a violet barrier that knocked them back. Long Chen had set up a cage around the area with his violet blood power. This place was locked down.
With his most recent advancement, his violet blood, Supreme Blood, and dragon blood had all been uplifted. He had raised this barrier with a simple wave of his hand. Caging a half-step Heavenly Sovereign like this was still a little difficult, but no one beneath that realm had any chance of breaking it.
When the outsider devils discovered the barrier, they lost all hope. They were unable to organize into any effective resistance. They were just running around the barrier randomly in the hope of finding a weak point. There were also others who thought they could capture the weaker Earth Barbarians and use them as hostages, but they found out the hard way that the women, children, and elderly were no less fierce than the able-bodied men on the battlefield.
Suddenly, a domain formed around a middle-aged Earth Barbarian on the battlefield. His muscular body was soaked in blood, and his aura began to rise wildly.
Oh? He has touched the threshold of the Heavenly Sovereign realm?
Long Chen was a bit surprised. This middle-aged man was actually making a breakthrough in the middle of battle!
After breaking through, he was like an unstoppable tiger tearing through the outsider devils. More astonishingly, his breakthrough seemed to cause a chain reaction. Just a few moments later, there was a second, and then a third... Once all the outsider devils were killed, a total of six Earth Barbarians had successfully touched the threshold of the Heavenly Sovereign realm.
Even Long Chen was shocked by this rate of advancement. “Damn, these people are terrifying!”
Now that the battle was over, A’Fu came over to Long Chen and bowed deeply.
“Many thanks for looking out for us! Otherwise, there definitely would have been many casualties.”
He had been the one in charge, but it had been so chaotic that he couldn’t look after everyone. There had been several times when groups of Earth Barbarians ended up surrounded and he couldn’t assist them in time. Yet somehow, all those people had managed to survive. He knew that it had to be Long Chen.
Once A’Fu said this, those survivors immediately realized what had happened, and were filled with gratitude towards Long Chen. They immediately bowed, but Long Chen simply nodded in response. The Earth Barbarian race truly had immense potential. If he were to properly raise them, they would definitely become a terrifying force on the battlefield.
Long Chen asked A’Fu about where he was and how to leave this territory occupied by the outsider devils. To his dismay, A’Fo answered awkwardly that the Earth Barbarian race had been in hiding for so long that they didn’t even know about the situation of the outside world.
Long Chen was speechless. It seemed that all they could do was sneak out or slaughter their way out. As long as they didn’t encounter a true Heavenly Sovereign, it wouldn’t be a big problem.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Long Chen distributed the weapons he had found, as well as some from the primal chaos space. After a brief moment of rest, he and the entire Earth Barbarian community vanished.
