"He actually broke through that barrier."
When Long Chen approached the corpse of the Primordial Winged Demon, a tsunami-like pressure struck, and Xue Qingkuang's expression changed instantly.
"Master, how could this happen? Even you can't get through that place!" A Blood Demon clan expert beside Xue Qingkuang said in shock.
You have to know, they've been here for more than ten days now, using the pressure here to provoke their own demonic energy to erupt.
Xue Qingkuang even wanted to obtain the crystal core of the Primordial Winged Demon. Even though the Primordial Winged Demon had been dead for countless years, it was an immortal powerhouse. As long as its physical body remained, the crystal core must remain.
If one could obtain its magic crystals, they could gain experience to advance to immortality, which would be invaluable to countless demon clan powerhouses.
However, Xue Qingkuang had tried many times and simply couldn't break through that final barrier, nor get close to its corpse.
But now, they could only watch helplessly as Long Chen broke through that barrier, which shocked and enraged Xue Qingkuang.
"He carries the aura of a true dragon. Maybe that's why the pressure on him has been greatly reduced.
And since we are of the same race but different species as the Primordial Winged Demons, we actually have to bear even greater pressure. Xue Qingkuang gritted his teeth and said.
"So what should we do? Should we join forces to kill him? We absolutely cannot let him desecrate the Demon Saint. A powerful member of the Blood Demon Clan said.
"No, the pressure we face here is several times greater than his. If we act here, we'd be at a disadvantage. Let's wait and see how things unfold." Xue Qingkuang said.
In fact, Xue Qingkuang was more anxious and angry than anyone, but he knew that the pressure they were under here was far greater than Long Chen and the others'. If a fight broke out, it wouldn't be worth it.
Moreover, he wanted to see if, after Long Chen approached the corpse of the Primordial Winged Demon, he would encounter any more barriers or be cursed by the corpse.
You have to understand, even if he possesses demon blood, taking the crystal core of the Primordial Winged Demon requires enormous risk. If things go wrong, he could even risk his life. He doesn't believe Long Chen will gain anything.
At this moment, Guo Ran and the others did not follow Long Chen, but stood quietly in place, watching him quietly.
Here, for the Dragonblood warriors, they had already reached their limit. If they fought here, they would also be greatly restricted.
Right beside them was the Blood Demon clan lurking like hawks. They dared not be careless and needed to guard against a sudden surprise attack from the Blood Demon clan.
"Boom boom boom...
After arriving here, Long Chen's body grew extremely heavy. With every step, the ground trembled violently, as if he was carrying the world on his back, struggling to move forward.
Arriving here, the dragon blood within Long Chen surged rapidly. Without needing his command, the dragon-shaped runes within him began to awaken automatically, resisting the terrifying pressure here.
"Just as I thought. The reason I can't feel much pressure is because the dragon energy within me has offset part of the demonic power."
As Long Chen pressed forward, the pressure increased, but the dragon-shaped runes in his blood, energy, and bones kept lighting up to resist the demonic might. Although it was exhausting, Long Chen was still able to keep going.
When Long Chen arrived before the corpse of the Winged Demon of the primordial era, where the demon's massive wings hung down on the ground, Long Chen stepped onto the wings.
At that moment, the Blood Demon Clan experts were furious. Long Chen actually dared to step onto the corpse of the Primordial Winged Demon—this was a desecration of the Demon Saint, tantamount to trampling him underfoot.
"Buzz!"
But the moment Long Chen stepped onto the wings of the Primordial Winged Demon, endless demonic energy surged up like ink to his feet.
"Not good, that's the Wing Demon Curse."
Xu Jianxiong and Uncle Huai, who had been watching Long Chen and the others from afar, both changed their expressions. Unfortunately, they couldn't send messages to Long Chen here and could only worry helplessly.
You have to understand, that's an immortal-level existence. Even though it's dead, no one will be allowed to desecrate its corpse.
"Hahaha, die, ignorant human."
When they saw the black water wrapping around Long Chen's feet, the Blood Demon clan experts burst into laughter, filled with schadenfreude.
This is a curse of the demon race. After a demon dies, they instinctively trigger cursed runes, which target any living being that approaches their corpse.
This is a form of self-protection, to prevent one's corpse from falling into enemy hands and having one's life rune stolen. At the same time, it also prevents the corpse from being trampled. Only members of the same clan can break this curse. Since Blood Reckless Kuang is not of the same species, breaking it is very difficult and requires certain risks.
All the Blood Demon clan experts knew this rule, so they had been waiting for this moment. In the end, Long Chen foolishly fell for it.
"Tch"
The black ink on Long Chen's feet crawled toward his knees like billions of demon tadpoles, but Long Chen snorted coldly.
"Buzz"—
golden flames enveloped his body, and the black ink met the golden flames and turned into black smoke.
"What?"
When they saw this scene, countless people were shocked—what kind of flame could actually burn a demonic curse? And it's a demonic curse from an immortal powerhouse?
"This flame?"
Someone saw the golden flame and couldn't help but cry out in disbelief.
"Fire is like gilding, its flames restrained, sacred yet brutal, new life with a will of destruction. How does this resemble the legendary Sunfire?" A Celestial Venerable expert shouted in alarm on the perimeter.
"The aura, color, and texture are very similar, but the Sunfire is ranked sixth on the Heavenly Fire List. If it really is the Sunfire, it definitely wouldn't have such a small pressure."
"That's right. The Solar Fire possesses endless will to destroy and the ability to revive all things. If his flames really are the Solar Fire, it shouldn't be so weak."
"He's only at the Immortal King realm. He might be fine with other flames, but controlling the famously violent Sunfire is simply impossible—not even a fire seed." Someone asserted.
The flames on the Heavenly Fire Ranking are sometimes gentle, sometimes chilling, while the fire of the sun is known for its ferocity.
It is the most difficult flame to control, said to be subdued only by force. Even the most primitive Tianyang Fire seeds require an Innate Heavenly Venerable to subdue them, and the subduing process involves no technique at all.
So the golden flame Long Chen summoned shocked everyone and was strikingly similar to the legendary Sunfire, yet no one believed it was the Sunfire.
"But if this isn't the fire of the sun, how could it burn the immortal curse?" Someone asked.
"This ..."
The topic instantly stumped everyone. They were puzzled, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't believe that a mere Immortal King boy could control the Sunfire—this was a reversal of common sense.
"Boom boom boom..."
And just as everyone was discussing,Long Chen had already walked straight up the winged demon's wings onto its back, standing before the massive spear behind it.
Then, to everyone's shock, he threw a punch at the spear.
