Aman had swung the door bolt less than twenty times, but his forehead was already sweating and he was gasping for breath.
"Boom!"
Aman shrank and landed on the ground, causing a large area of the earth to collapse. However, the huge door bolt shrank along with Aman's body.
The door latch shrank to only two zhang long, about the thickness of an average person's thigh, just enough for Aman to hold.
Although Aman's body shrank, the golden spots on his body hadn't completely faded. He couldn't return to his usual state, or the bar on his shoulder would pin him down.
Aman held the door latch with one hand and took out a plate with the other, holding a tail and tossing it into his mouth.
After chewing a few times, he swallowed it. Soon, Aman's breath recovered a bit, and then, carrying the door bolt, he sat directly on top of a pile of corpse armored spider corpses.
With a scoop of the plate, thousands of corpse-eating armored spiders were instantly scooped in. Once inside, the spiders shrank to the size of sesame seeds and were swallowed whole.
"Phew."
Before he could finish his mouth, he filled another plate and poured it into his mouth. As he frantically devoured the corpse-eating armored spiders, Aman's strength rapidly recovered.
At that moment, the Corpse-Eating Armored Spiders attacked again. The Dragonblood Legion maintained their formation, slaying them in Long Chen's fiery domain.
"Aman, eat later, give me a few more hits." Long Chen shouted.
"Good."
Aman had just regained some of his strength and summoned the massive Barbarian Blood Golden Body again. With one swing, corpses rained down over tens of thousands of miles, and the destructive power was far beyond what the Dragonblood Legion could match.
With five strikes, the whole world fell silent, and all the corpse-eating armored spiders were slain.
Aman was once again exhausted and panting like an ox, starting to eat the corpse-eating armored spider to replenish his energy while the others cleaned up the battlefield.
This time, Long Chen no longer collected these corpse-eating armored spiders. Although he needed them very much, they were all Aman's rations, and Long Chen couldn't compete with him.
At this moment, the Tianlin Demon Tree within Long Chen's chaotic space had already reached a height of a hundred zhang. Although still in the sapling stage, the vitality contained in a single Tianlin Demon Tree far exceeded that of the entire World Tree Forest back then. This was truly an unexpected delight.
Once Aman regained some strength and was able to walk, Long Chen immediately ordered everyone to set out together.
To save time, Long Chen summoned the Azure Dragon Battle Body and stored the door bolt into the Star Space. For the safety of the Heavenly Qilin Tree Demon, Long Chen did not put the door bolt into the Chaos Space.
As a result, the bolt fell inside the starry space, and the immense force shattered the entire star. Fortunately, Long Chen had entered the fourth step of the Tongming Realm, and all 108,000 stars had been strengthened; otherwise, he would have been smashed to pieces.
Without the door bolt, Aman could jump onto Xiaoyun's back with everyone. Xiaoyun spread his wings and transformed into a flying rainbow, speeding away.
Racing along the traces on the earth, the road ahead grew darker and darker, as if they were plunging into an abyss.
"Why is the air here so cold? It's kind of chilling." Tang Wan'er looked around, the light growing dimmer, and couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy.
Not only Tang Wan'er, but everyone else felt the same way, as if they were approaching a terrifying place, filled with the aura of death.
Only Aman felt nothing. He had devoured countless corpse-eating armored spiders along the way, and now he was lying nearby, sound asleep.
"The Divine Clan must be hiding something from us, and the Evil Sect and Dan Valley seem to know the secrets here as well.
Only we know nothing, but it's okay—no matter what the plot is, the truth will soon come to light. Long Chen said.
As soon as Long Chen entered the Star Domain Divine Realm, he sensed a conspiracy. The Divine Clan was hiding something from the Star Domain Divine Realm.
However, the Evil Sect and Dan Valley were also extremely secretive about this matter, never mentioning it. The Ancient Family Alliance, Di Feng, had only sided with the Divine Clan and might not have access to the core secrets.
The Sea Demon Clan was like a bunch of fools being used, completely unaware of anything. As for the Four Great Longevity Families, Long Chen believed that Nangong Zuiyue and Beitang Rushuang didn't know either; otherwise, they would have warned him, or at the very least, given him some hints.
Only Dongfang Yuyang was so shrewd, seemingly knowledgeable about many things, and he hid so much that he was like a ghost lurking in the shadows, ready to emerge and deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
However, according to Long Chen's guess, Dongfang Yuyang probably knew something, which is why he earned Difeng's trust. Otherwise, Difeng wouldn't have died at his hands.
The road ahead grew darker and darker, as if plunging into boundless darkness. Although everyone used their spiritual sense instead of their eyes, being in the endless darkness instinctively stirred a sense of fear.
"Long Chen, this is most likely a trap." Meng Qi looked at the endless dark path before her, feeling as if they were entering the mouth of a terrifying monster.
"I know, and Yun Tian definitely knows too, but the fact that Yun Tian knew it was a trap and rushed in without hesitation shows he has plenty of reasons.
So even if this is a dragon's den or tiger's lair, we have to take the risk. Our Dragon Blood Legion has already entered the fourth step of the Tongming Realm—who are we afraid of? Long Chen smiled faintly.
"That's right. We've already reached the fourth step of the Tongming Realm. The phenomenon has fully awakened. Who in the world can stop us?" Guo Ran laughed heartily with high spirits. He was becoming increasingly arrogant these days.
This time, entering the Star Domain Divine Realm, his extraordinary luck made him full of confidence, and his tone of voice was completely different from before.
Especially after the armor was revised, he wished he could have a peerless expert right now to test the power of the new armor.
When it came to battle, the Dragonblood warriors' eyes lit up. They hadn't had a proper fight lately, and now that they heard it was a trap, instead of fear, their fighting spirit surged.
"The aura on the earth is growing even denser." Dongming Yu looked down at the battle marks on the ground and spoke.
As an assassin, Dongming Yu was most sensitive to aura. Judging by the battle marks on the ground, they must have been left several hours ago.
Xiaoyun was moving too fast, closing the distance to them. If it weren't for how dangerous this place was, he wouldn't have dared to go full speed forward, or he might have already caught up to them.
"Yun Tian is injured,"
Long Chen's heart tightened. His large hand grabbed at the void, and a rock flew into his palm from the ground, carrying a drop of blood on it.
This drop of blood was extremely vivid, dyeing the rock red, infiltrating its texture, and exuding a noble aura. This was the blood of Yun Tian, and only descendants of great emperors could possess such noble blood.
"Xiaoyun, speed up! Everyone, prepare for battle—fight at any moment." Long Chen appeared above Xiaoyun's head, holding the Dragon Bone Xie Yue in his hand and shouted loudly.
Yuntian was in danger, fighting his way here, facing a large force with fewer enemies. If he got injured, it would mean he was completely at a disadvantage.
This was perfectly normal. Facing the siege of multiple Emperor Miao-level experts like Feng Fei, Dan Xianzi, Zhao Ritian, and Ye Ming, fighting their way all the way to this point already proved how extraordinary Yun Tian's strength was.
But no matter how overwhelming their strength was, facing so many terrifying experts attacking them, it was still possibleExhaust your strength.
Even though injured, Yuntian did not stop. The traces along the way showed he was still relentlessly chasing Ye Ming. Ye Ming's blood spilled along the way, while the others showed no signs of injury.
"Buzz!"
The wings on Xiaoyun's body radiated a multicolored divine light, and her speed gradually increased. Because she was so fast, Xiaoyun couldn't trace the traces on the ground, so Mengqi came to guide her in the right direction.
"It seems like there's ... ahead. There is a big tree. Mengqi suddenly let out a startled cry.
As Xiao Yun sped forward, soon everyone sensed the big tree.
"Oh my god, what tree is so big?"
Everyone was shocked, even Long Chen was shocked. The tree was so enormous, it was impossible to estimate.
He could see it from afar, but at Xiaoyun's speed, in just a few breaths, he only got a little closer. With Xiaoyun as a reference, Xiaoyun's speed seemed slower.
This great tree had already soared into the sky, with stars filling the sky, as if its fruit adorned its branches.
Compared to this giant tree, the Tianlin tree demon Long Chen had seen and the spirit god of the Luoling Clan had become nothing but tiny seedlings. Everyone stared at the giant tree in shock. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one could believe that such a gigantic species existed in this world.
"How strange, why doesn't this big tree have any vitality?" Liu Ruyan also looked at the giant tree and murmured.
Only then did everyone realize something was wrong. Logically, such a massive tree should radiate a life force as vast as the sea, and even before seeing the tree, they should be able to sense it.
But now, as he drew closer and closer to this giant tree, he couldn't sense its vitality.
"Could this tree already be dead?" Guo Ran exclaimed in surprise.
"Xiaoyun, fly toward that tree. No need to hold back, they're right over there." Long Chen suddenly said.
"Screech!"
Xiaoyun's wings trembled violently, and suddenly the space before them twisted widely. Everyone felt as if they had entered a time portal. Xiaoyun transformed into a streak of light and sped away.
As Xiaoyun accelerated, the distance to the giant tree rapidly closed, and soon they reached beneath the tree's crown. Once under the canopy, he could feel its enormity even more. If he moved it to the Tianwu Continent, this tree could even cover the entire Central Continent.
But even after entering the canopy, it still took the time it takes to burn an incense stick before finally seeing the trunk ahead, which looked like a pillar of the sky.
As they approached the trunk, countless dark shadows suddenly shot up into the sky above the ground, heading straight for the Cloud-Chasing Swallowing Sparrow.
"It's the Devouring Heaven Black Armor Army."
Long Chen shouted sharply, slashing forward with his blade. The long blade slashed down into the Heavenly River, shattering large chunks of the Devouring Heaven Black Armor soldiers with a single strike.
"Rumble... The
appearance of the Devouring Heaven Black Armor Army slowed Xiaoyun's pace, the surrounding space became clear, and a thunderous roar echoed from afar.
Long Chen looked up. Near the tree trunk, a massive furnace radiated endless divine light and was sent flying backward.
"Found it!"
Long Chen shouted sharply, "Charge in." "
