Chapter 6397 Traitors

The heaven region’s battlefield reeked of blood. Every breath carried the metallic tang of slaughter, and the wind that howled through the mountains and valleys sounded like a mournful wail—laden with hatred and resentment.

From the moment the heaven region’s battlefield opened, the slaughter had never stopped. But now, after countless clashes, the tempo of slaughter had slowed.

The land was covered in scars. Everywhere lay blood-soaked battlefields, littered with corpses.

In this place, life held no dignity. It was trampled without mercy, reduced to nothing more than fertilizer for the soil. In this place, only death promised true peace.

No matter how strong or glorious someone was in life, in the end, they would return to the soil. The only distinction was when.

Amidst this bloody wasteland stretched a vast flatland, barren of even a single blade of grass. It was filled with nothing but dirt.

BOOM!

Suddenly, the void exploded, and a giant Ten Thousand Dragon Nest came flying out, smashing into the ground.

The impact blasted a massive hole open. From it, an astonishing sight unfolded: one Ten Thousand Dragon Nest after another tumbled out of the ground, as though this ground had been concealing them all along.

The nest that had crashed from above was none other than the Sovereign Dragon Divine Nest under Long Chen’s control.

As it smashed through, it dragged the buried nests into the open. Some could not withstand its overwhelming force and crumbled instantly.

From the shattered nests emerged countless figures. They were dragon experts who had been in seclusion within their nests.

Furious at being disturbed, they erupted in anger. Yet, the moment their eyes fell upon the Sovereign Dragon Divine Nest, their rage and shock turned into naked greed.

“Another Sovereign Dragon Divine Nest! Quick, let’s subdue it together! We’ll see what oddities lie inside!” shouted a large, bald man with Nether Qi swirling around him.

He had 999 Sovereign flames spinning around him, and his aura was incredibly powerful. After all, his Ten Thousand Dragon Nest had shattered into pieces, but he was completely fine.

Countless figures burst from the other Ten Thousand Dragon Nests. Of the hundreds of nests buried here, only a few dozen remained intact; the rest had been obliterated.

The impact had killed countless dragon experts, but millions of them survived. Now, the weakest of them already possessed around 980 Sovereign flames.

Before they could react, the Sovereign Dragon Divine Nest trembled, and a figure emerged from it.

“What do you mean, another Sovereign Dragon Divine Nest? Are there multiple nests buried in the heaven region’s battlefield?”

“Long Chen?”

Recognizing him, the dragon experts froze in shock. But the next heartbeat, fury consumed them.

“Long Chen, what do you think you’re doing?! As a leader of the dragon race, how can you launch a sneak attack and kill so many of us?!” one of them roared, his 999 blood-colored Sovereign flames raging like a sea.

His torrential Blood Qi marked him as an elite of the blood dragon race.

“Long Chen, you bastard, after being so vicious to the dragon race, don’t even dream of leaving here alive!”

“That’s right! You’ll pay for your sins with your life. Your head will be our offering to the fallen heroes of the dragon race!”

Enraged shouts filled the air, and their eyes burned as though they would spit fire.

“Heroes?” Long Chen sneered, his voice sharp as a blade. “How shameless can you be? Every last one of you has betrayed the dragon race. After throwing yourselves in with the Netherdragon race—the same traitors who betrayed the nine heavens, you dare to call yourselves heroes?”

Among these so-called experts were pillars of the dragon race itself: blood dragons, black dragons, and others. By rights, they should have slain the Netherdragons on sight. Yet here they stood, side by side with them. That alone revealed the truth: they had already joined the dark side.

Beneath this soil lay countless dragon experts and Ten Thousand Dragon Nests safeguarding the dragon race’s karmic luck. In truth, the vile dragon race had discovered this location first, but the grand formation protecting it had repulsed them. If they were to forcibly break this formation, the karmic luck energy would instantly dissipate, and all their efforts would be for nothing.

So the vile dragons handed this place to the Netherdragon race. Yet, even the Netherdragons—despite being born of the nine heavens—were repelled because they too had betrayed their own kind.

Still, the Netherdragons had played the long game. For countless years, they had quietly sown ties with various branches of the dragon race across the nine heavens.

The Netherdragon race was powerful and had many rare resources. Through bribery and coercion, they had chipped away the dragon race’s forces.

This time, the Netherdragon race had made major movements in the heaven region’s battlefield. They split their troops to seize multiple treasure sites at once. Long Chen’s Sovereign Dragon Divine Nest was one target, while this site of the dragon race’s karmic luck was another.

Because they had prepared this long ago, the most talented dragon geniuses of their alliance had gathered here. Roughly half of these experts were Netherdragons. But thanks to the efforts of the other half, they managed to open this land of karmic luck. The karmic luck was what gave them such shocking cultivation speed.

Long Chen did not know every detail, but he saw enough. These dragon experts had betrayed the nine heavens by joining the Netherdragons. The moment he realized they stood together, he struck.

“Tch, don’t waste words on him! Kill him to avenge our brothers!” the blood-dragon leader snarled, not bothering to lie any longer since they were already exposed.

Blood-colored divine light blazed from his Sovereign flames, and he took the lead in attacking Long Chen.

A hulking Netherdragon raised a black hatchet and barked, “Long Chen has seen your secret. If you let him leave, the Sovereign Domain will hunt you all down. Today, either he dies, or we die. There is no third path. Attack! Don’t let him escape!”

“Kill!”

Shouts echoed through the air as these dragons charged at Long Chen. Their betrayal and collusion had been exposed. If they failed to eliminate Long Chen now, their entire branch would be wiped out.

Once they thought of that, their expressions twisted savagely, and they charged at him.

“Lord Long Chen, let me execute these traitors,” Uncle Fan said, his normally gentle tone edged with killing intent.

“No need. I’ll clean up the dragon ranks myself.”

Long Chen drew a steady breath. Despite his exhaustion, he pushed his weary body forward to face these endless dragon experts.
