Chapter 5662 Enemies Are Destined to Meet

This voice was powerful, but also coarse and ugly. It was like rubbing stone.

“Enemies really are destined to meet.” Long Chen was surprised by this voice. It was actually the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard race’s Xue Yingfeng.

At this time, Xue Yingfeng had eight core veins behind him. He exuded a powerful force field. Compared to their last battle, the pressure he exuded was much stronger.

“Boss, let me deal with him.” Xia Chen’s desire to battle was instantly triggered. This was his first time witnessing such a powerful opponent. He wanted to test his new power. Such an opponent was optimal for him.

“No. This fellow has to be mine,” said Long Chen.

“What? Boss, are you afraid that I’ll lose? I’m eighty percent confident I can beat him!” said Xia Chen hastily.

“Even if you won, it would be meaningless.” Long Chen shook his head.

Xia Chen didn’t understand what Long Chen was saying. At this time, countless Blood Crystal Demon Lizards appeared in front of them. 

Xia Chen gasped when he saw their numbers. There had to be tens of millions of them. They surrounded them like a flood. Furthermore, there were other demon races behind them. They extended beyond the horizon.

The Blood Crystal Demon Lizard race had come with their own goals. They had secretly started pulling in allies long ago in preparation for a clash with the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey race. They wanted to take the position of leader of the Heaven Demon Alliance.

Previously, Xue Yingfeng had fought Long Chen in front of the spatial channel. Although he hadn’t defeated Long Chen, the power that he displayed was not at all inferior to Hou Tianwu. In fact, it might even surpass him.

As a result of that, the Heaven Demon Alliance’s experts began to sway. Some of them began to lean towards the side of the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard race.

The demon race might possess huge bodies, and their heads weren’t small, but the intelligence inside those heads wasn’t much.

Their line of thought was very simple. They would follow whoever was stronger. Furthermore, they had gotten enough of the way that the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey race ordered them around arrogantly, and wanted a new leader.

The battle in front of the spatial channel had resulted in the Heaven Demon Alliance being trampled by Wilde. Xue Yingfeng had raised the banner of the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard race, promising many benefits. That instantly pulled away quite a few factions within the Heaven Demon Alliance.

It wasn’t just Xue Yingfeng. Xiang Tu was the same. The two of them had taken away almost a third of the Heaven Demon Alliance’s factions, enraging Hou Tianwu.

After Xue Yingfeng pulled those people away, he joined them with his original forces. Those included some factions that were originally loyal to the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard race. As a result, Xue Yingfeng came to lead an enormous army here.

Xue Yingfeng had already led his people here to fight with an army of the devil race and seize another spatial channel. The two sides fought, and were too evenly matched for a winner to be decided. They all knew that continuing like this was meaningless, thus both sides ended up taking a step back, drawing a line between them and sharing the energy coming from the channel.

However, it wasn’t long before another group came. Then more. The constant battles resulted in a complete mess where no one was able to peacefully cultivate.

Ultimately, they ended up drawing multiple boundaries between themselves. Over ten factions jointly absorbed the energy coming from the Emperor reverse scale.

This battle exhausted a great deal of energy from all sides. Xue Yingfeng had only just condensed his eighth core vein when the spatial channel exploded and sent everyone flying.

However, the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard race possessed great defensive prowess. In order to protect their new followers, they had summoned their strongest defensive barrier. They managed to protect everyone from the demon race, but the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard race also paid quite the price to do so. The majority took injuries protecting them.

The demon race’s experts were all extremely moved by this protection, and immediately swore to be forever loyal to the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard race.

Seeing that they had reached a new level of unity, Xue Yingfeng’s confidence instantly inflated. It felt like he had already become the leader of the Heaven Demon Alliance.

After recovering, they once more set off towards the Emperor reverse scale. They encountered quite a few factions on the way, and Xue Yingfeng immediately ordered the demon race’s army to attack. They swept through them, giving Xue Yingfeng a sense of glory.

Just as he was feeling extremely pleased, he saw the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest slowly approaching. He instantly recognized it as Long Chen’s Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. He immediately moved to stop it.

When the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest stopped, Xue Yingfeng stood in front of him, hundreds of top experts behind him, the weakest amongst them having seven core veins. But there were over thirty of them who possessed eight core veins like this. 

This could be said to be a shocking lineup. The ground was shaking from Xue Yingfeng’s immense pressure. Countless crystals sprouted from underground. 

Endless power was flowing out of the earth and into Xue Yingfeng. He felt like the king of the world, like he was the master of everything here.

“Long Chen, come out and die!” shouted Xue Yingfeng.

Long Chen stepped out of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. His figure looked slightly frail in front of the demon race’s enormous bodies. However, his gaze was calm.

Xue Yingfeng’s pupils shrank. The current Long Chen didn’t give off the slightest dragon qi fluctuations. There was no Heavenly Doyen aura. Even his Blood Qi was extremely obscure.

His wild astral energy was gone. Long Chen looked like he had gone from a raging sea to a quiet pool.

However, what lay behind that quiet pool made Xue Yingfeng’s soul quiver. The current Long Chen had become even more frightening.

The first time that he fought Long Chen, he had seven core veins, while Long Chen only had four and a half. This time, he had eight core veins. His power had multiplied by tens of times.

Based on his estimate, Long Chen had at most six core veins now. The odds that he had condensed seven core veins was miniscule.

The more core veins that you condensed, the more energy it took. The time to condense them increased exponentially.

He had a realm advantage, so the moment he saw Long Chen, he wanted to attack. Even if Long Chen had become a six-vein or even a seven-vein Heaven Saint, he definitely wouldn’t be a match for him.

However, when Long Chen appeared, his soul shuddered. His burning desire to fight had a bucket of ice water thrown over it. His expression faltered.

“He is Long Chen?”

A falcon-eyed man eyed Long Chen questioningly. He was a new member to the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard race’s group. He had thought that Xue Yingfeng was challenging some major expert. But it ended up being this frail-looking human.

“How can an ant from the human race require lord Yingfeng to personally deal with him? Let junior brother capture him.” The falcon-eyed man was also an eight-vein Heaven Saint, and a cold light flickered in his eyes. He suddenly vanished.

The moment he vanished, Long Chen’s hand extended into the void, and a ripple appeared. Long Chen pulled his hand out. He was now holding that man’s throat like he was a chicken.

“What?!”

Xue Yingfeng’s pupils shrank to pinpoints.
