Chapter 7141 Human-Devil Hybrid

Space exploded like shattered ice. The broken space formed a swirling vortex. On the other side of the vortex was the three-eyed creature howling in fury; its howl sounded like an ape’s. But as the twisting space faded, the three-eyed creature and its voice faded away.

The spatial formation would have been completely activated with just a little bit more time. Then the creature would have been able to descend upon this place. Regrettably, Ying Luo ultimately failed.

Ying Luo stood there with black qi swirling around him. The black qi infected the very heavens. The pressure which exceeded all other triple-manifestation Divine Sovereigns was still growing, and the entire battlefield was impacted by his aura. Everyone felt suffocated. Their hearts pounded so hard it felt as if they would pop out of their chests.

Everyone was shocked. Someone from the Immortal Ascension Gate was actually this powerful? But if he was this strong, strong enough to control the entire battlefield on his own, why had he gone to such lengths and risked being discovered, to call out that creature?

“It seems that this three-eyed creature must consume fresh meat. That’s actually why he saved Tu Jie. After all, Tu Jie is a peak Sovereign Lord. He didn’t want to waste this meat. That was rather greedy of him. Hey, if you had chosen to set up the formation while I killed Tu Jie, you might have succeeded!” Long Chen sighed with pity and shook his head as he looked at the furious Ying Luo.

In the distance, Zi Yan couldn’t help smiling when she heard that. This fellow really knew how to hit people where it hurt. Even if Ying Luo hadn’t saved Tu Jie, things would have ended up the same. The moment he got close, with Long Chen, Miao Yin, and her own sharp senses, how could they possibly fail to notice him? That was even more true when it came to setting up a spatial formation of all things.

Ying Luo had set up the spatial formation within his own domain and used various attacks to disturb space, but he had still failed to escape Long Chen’s senses. In other words, Long Chen was saying this just to annoy him. In his enraged state, Ying Luo was incapable of thinking things through and realizing this.

As expected, Long Chen managed to raise Ying Luo’s fury to a new level with this. He was filled with regret as well now, as well as panic. He had endured and hidden the truth for so many years, all for this chance to escape the oppression of Li Yifu. But now, he had failed to grasp his chance. With Long Chen fanning the flames, his emotions were in chaos.

His three-eyed creature was exposed. He had to kill everyone here to guarantee that this secret wasn’t exposed. However, if he were to personally kill Tu jie, Li Yifu would immediately sense it. It was forbidden for the Immortal Ascension Gate’s higher-ups to attack each other. They had special spiritual bindings on them to guarantee this.

If he were to attack Tu Jie, Li Yifu would immediately know, and he might just instantly crush Ying Luo’s soul strand. Although his contractual creature would help him share the burden of it and he wouldn’t die, his soul would be severely wounded. Being wounded at such a critical moment would instantly cause him to lose the initiative, and then he would only fall further and further behind.

Most importantly, once this matter was exposed, he would become a rat in the streets hunted by all. Even if he joined the outsider devils, they wouldn’t trust him. They might even remove his contract through brute force to restore that creature’s freedom.

Just as Ying Luo’s emotions fluctuated between rage, loss, regret, and panic, Long Chen suddenly appeared beside him. A bolt of lighting hacked down.

“Lightning God Slash!”

BOOM!

Lightning runes filled the sky. Ying Luo grunted and went flying once more. Lightning runes coiled around his body, and his hair stood on end like porcupine spikes.

“Impressive. I hit him head-on, but he’s completely uninjured. Is this a power that exceeds a triple-manifestation Divine Sovereign? Or is this what an actual triple-manifestation Divine Sovereign should be like?” Long Chen stared at Ying Luo as the lightning runes faded. He was a bit surprised. Ying Luo’s mental state had been in chaos, and Long Chen had struck him at the perfect moment, while his guard was down. Yet even so, he had failed to really injure Ying Luo.

Zi Yan was also shocked. Long Chen’s attack was perfect in terms of speed, angle, and timing. Ying Luo hadn’t had any chance to react, whether to parry or block, so he had taken Long Chen’s attack head-on. In other words, the power of this attack had been dispersed by Ying Luo’s natural protective divine light.

Long Chen’s full-power attack did not even require Ying Luo to do anything to defend. Things were not looking terribly good for them.

“Long Chen, bring him away from the battlefield...” Zi Yan hastily transmitted to Long Chen. Ying Luo was a monster. Once he unleashed his full power, the academy would probably be destroyed. In addition, Ying Luo wanted to kill everyone to keep his secret quiet. He had no misgivings about killing his own people, so he would most certainly have no misgivings going all out here.

Even before Zi Yan finished speaking, starlight flashed beneath Long Chen’s feet. He appeared behind Ying Luo and grabbed his long, straw-like hair. With another step, he dragged Ying Luo many miles away.

The latter was not really injured, but the lightning still numbed his whole body, slowing his reaction speed. By the time he reacted, Long Chen had dragged him far away. He was just about to attack Long Chen in retaliation when Long Chen flung him away, sending him flying like a shooting star.

“Divine gate! Eight gates!” Long Chen shouted, and his astral energy covered the heavens. The laws of the world shuddered. Now that he was facing someone this powerful, Long Chen stopped holding back.

“Starry River Demon Suppressing Bell!”

The sound of a bell rang out seven times. An astral bell accurately fell upon Ying Luo as he was flying through the air.

Then, an eighth ring rang out. The Starry River Demon Suppressing Bell suddenly expanded, and its aura grew crazily. Terrifying astral laws condensed onto the bell, forming various divine runes. A wave of starlight spread, pushing away the majority of the black mist around Ying Luo’s body. Finally, his face was revealed.

Shockingly, Ying Luo’s whole body was covered with black scales. Every scale had black mist continuously gushing out of it.

“A human-devil hybrid? No wonder he could form a contract with an outsider devil...” Zi Yan was following them closely. When she saw what Ying Luo actually looked like, her eyes narrowed. Now, she understood.

BOOM!

Just then, the starry bell locked down heaven and earth with Ying Luo inside of it.

Long Chen still couldn’t fully control the eighth ring of the Starry River Demon Suppressing Bell. He couldn’t unleash it instantaneously. He needed to do seven rings and then accumulate energy for the eighth.

If Ying Luo hadn’t been restrained by that lightning strike earlier, Long Chen would have been interrupted before the eighth ring and maybe even counterattacked. However, Long Chen had accurately predicted Ying Luo’s slow reaction. Ying Luo had a tremendous amount of power, but he clearly lacked combat experience as of late.

The truth was that this was a common weakness for ancient experts that had been sealed away since the primal chaos era. They had been in suspended animation for so long that their bodies practically rusted.

Long Chen formed a hand seal. At the same time, he rapidly flew back.

“Explode!”
