Chapter 5351 Embryonic Form

Long Chen led the Hidden Dragon Legion straight toward an army of devil creatures. There was no complex strategy, no elaborate formation—they simply blasted through with brute force.

Wielding their swords, the Hidden Dragon warriors moved as quickly as the wind. They cleaved through the bone scales of the dual-horn devil creatures, cutting them down with ease.

At first, Long Chen took the lead, but after dispatching a few bone devils, he quickly identified their weak points—on the neck, eyes, and a small spot three inches below their abdomens. With this knowledge, he left the fighting to the eight divine retainers while Tang Wan-er stood by, ready to intervene if any unexpected danger arose.

Long Chen observed from the rear. Seeing their somewhat clumsy and stiff formation, Long Chen reminisced about the early days of the Dragonblood Legion. Things had been far, far harder on them. Back then, there had been no one to save them, no guiding hand. Every lesson they learned was paid for with their own lives and blood.

Though the Hidden Dragon Legion’s formation was still rather messy, with noticeable flaws, it was surprisingly effective. The Heaven Saint devil creatures were unable to stop them, so the warriors pressed forward with determination.

As they fought, the Hidden Dragon Legion grew more ferocious with every kill. Their momentum built like an unstoppable wave. Back in the Wind God Sea Pavilion, they had trained against devil creatures, even exchanging points to fight sealed Heaven Saint bone devils. In those training sessions, defeating one of these devils in single combat would take over a hundred moves, and a single slip-up could result in severe injuries or death. But now, they were cutting them down with ease.

The Wind God Sea Pavilion had always deployed large groups to capture and seal devil creatures for their disciples to use as training. It was a method to gauge their growth.

The existences that had been powerful opponents for them in the past now collapsed beneath their swords. Only now, as they tore through the battlefield, did the Hidden Dragon warriors truly comprehend just how much they had grown in a single month.

After all, in the Seven Treasure space, they had to face incredibly powerful existences. Though the relentless training had blurred their sense of improvement, this battle proved otherwise. Before death, they remained calm. Their senses, spiritual perception, and instincts had been sharpened.

Had they not been pressed for time, Long Chen wouldn’t have revealed the weaknesses of the devil creatures to them. With their current strength, he was certain they would have figured it out within a day. That kind of discovery would have been far more valuable to them in the long run.

Unfortunately, they were pressed for time. They had to get through this region as quickly as possible, so Long Chen could only go for the second-best option.

They blasted through the horde of bone devils, but some of the warriors felt a bit sad because they didn’t even have time to pick up these corpses. After all, those devil cores were treasures and could be exchanged for things that they needed in the Wind God Sea Pavilion.

As for Long Chen, he couldn’t muster up the will to gather Heaven Saint corpses. The primal chaos space no longer benefited much from Heaven Saint corpses. It seemed that as the primal chaos space grew stronger, its needs evolved. Now, it would only be worth the effort to collect Emperor corpses.

Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed, and the powerful might of an Emperor devil creature swept over them. Most of the devil creatures here were around the same size as humans, but this one was a giant. A powerful Blood Qi exuded from it as it charged over like a bolt of lightning.

However, before it could even reach them, a figure shot forward and decapitated it in a single, clean strike.

“Good job!” Long Chen and Tang Wan-er shouted in unison.

The attacker was Xiao Yue. She was decisive and ruthless with this attack, cleanly killing the devil with impeccable timing.

This single blow displayed the true fruits of her training in the Seven Treasure space—in front of a stronger expert, the first thing to do was stay calm. Then, when an opening appeared, attack without hesitation!

Even Xiao Yue herself seemed stunned by his killing prowess, having acted purely on instinct. It was almost unbelievable that such a terrifying enemy had been dispatched so easily.

Seeing her expression, Long Chen and Tang Wan-er exchanged smiles. Xiao Yue truly was exceptional. Her combat instincts had risen to such a level, and her potential seemed limitless.

The Hidden Dragon warriors cheered after this attack. Xiao Yue’s display had fully ignited their fighting spirits.

Their morale soared, and they pressed on with renewed vigor. Whenever a Human Emperor devil creature appeared, one of the eight divine retainers would launch a sharp attack. If the attack struck the devil creature in a weak spot, it would die instantly.

Amongst these female warriors, quite a few were still outer disciples. Hence, they hadn’t yet realized the full extent of their transformation through Long Chen’s medicinal pills.

Actually, even the ordinary warriors were qualified to challenge Human Emperor devil creatures on their own. However, they were simply unaware of it.

Although they could challenge Human Emperor devil creatures, killing them in one strike required perfect timing. That was why Long Chen had praised Xiao Yue—her skillful timing showed the culmination of her improvements. It showed that she had leaped to an even higher level.

As they continued further, more roars resounded. What began as one or two Emperor devil creatures appearing at a time soon escalated to dozens. Long Chen checked the map—they were approaching the core of the stronghold. That was why more and more devil creatures appeared.

With an influx of Emperor devil creatures, the Hidden Dragon Legion came under immense pressure. Their unpracticed formation began to falter. As everyone panicked, their cohesion started to fall into disorder. The more they tried to fix their formation, the worse things became.

“Calm down! The more critical the situation, the calmer you must be! Don’t let any negative emotions affect your movements! Trust your backs to your sisters! Just focus on killing the enemies in front of you,” Long Chen instructed, grounding the warriors in the heat of battle.

These warriors had grown a great deal through the Seven Treasure space’s tempering, but to have them betray their instincts and leave their backs to others was quite difficult. This was the reason the formation was starting to crumble.

But now, they pushed through their fear, trusting Long Chen’s words. They left their backs exposed and concentrated on the enemies ahead. Their trust in Long Chen was absolute—if he said it, they would do it, even if it meant facing death.

To their astonishment, the formation instantly stabilized. Not only did they stop the enemy’s advance, but their collective power surged to new heights, pushing the devil creatures back. The warriors were left in awe at how quickly the tide had turned.

Long Chen smiled, knowing that the Hidden Dragon Legion’s true strength lay in their unity. Once they fully trusted one another, their power as a team would reach unprecedented levels.

BOOM!

Suddenly, the earth started to shake as a vast pressure engulfed the land.
