Chapter 7277 Devil Supreme Bone

“In that case, let’s make an agreement. I won’t kill you, and I will not place a slave seal on you either. I will let you live with dignity, just as you wish. However, as long as I am stronger than you, you must be completely loyal to me!”

Long Chen looked at Yi Nuo, and she stared back at him with wide eyes.

“Without a slave seal, aren’t you worried that I will surpass you and kill you?”

Long Chen simply smiled. He didn’t say anything, but that smile spoke volumes about his confidence.

It also pricked Yi Nuo’s pride, and she stubbornly said, “Fine, I agree to your terms. In addition, once I surpass you, I will spare your life once!”

“In that case, many thanks!” said Long Chen carefreely, causing Yi Nuo’s blood to boil. It was as if this promise to spare his life was a joke to him.

However, she quickly suppressed her anger and took a deep breath. She coldly said, “You are my master. My soul and body are yours. But I will definitely work hard to take back everything. Based on our agreement, you can’t stop me from getting stronger, right?”

Long Chen nodded. “Of course. But the precondition is that you are loyal to me in the process!”

Yi Nuo raised a hand, and the seal of a spiritual contract appeared in front of her. But Long Chen didn’t even look at it. “Don’t insult me with something like that. I trust you.”

This simple statement shook Yi Nuo’s heart. Was he really not worried about not having a contract? It was common knowledge that a contract like this let the master know the servant’s power at all times. Without it, Long Chen would have no idea if her power surpassed his. He would have no way of seeing through her secrets.

She suddenly felt insulted in a way she had never been before. It seemed that, from the start, Long Chen had not viewed her as a serious opponent. If it hadn’t been for her pride preventing her from breaking their agreement, she would have challenged Long Chen to a battle again right now. His casual indifference was like a claw raking at her heart.

Long Chen asked her more about the Golden Wing Heaven Devil race. He learned that they followed the god path, and they worshiped the Golden Wing Devil God.

The legends said that when the Golden Wing Devil God descended upon the nine heavens, he was instantly killed by the Star Master. His death occurred before the real war even began; having been in a rush to get an advantage over his comrades, he ended up running into the Star Master and dying before accomplishing anything. Due to his death, the Golden Wing Heaven Devil race’s position fell amongst the outsider factions. Even now, they were still laughed at.

But while the Golden Wing Devil God died, his soul essence was not extinguished, and by relying on the faith energy of the entire race, he had managed to regain consciousness millions of years ago. Now, they were working on rebuilding his body.

The strongest heavenly geniuses in their race were qualified to compete for the position of the Devil God’s divine emissaries; essentially, they would become his heirs. Yi Nuo was just one of the divine emissaries, and thanks to that, she was able to get a share of his immense faith energy.

Currently, the Golden Wing Heaven Devil race had thirty-eight divine emissaries, and she didn’t have a single friend amongst them. She ranked at the very bottom of the divine emissaries, and they were all trying to push her out of the rankings altogether. Otherwise, how could a divine emissary be sent to lead the troops in a low-level battle like this? Her competitors were just insulting her by arranging for her to go.

Long Chen’s expression grew a bit odd. By this point, things were starting to feel like a pattern.

Yi Nuo snorted. “Don’t look at me like that. They’re just afraid of me because I have the most potential. It’s just that awakening it is very difficult. They want to get rid of me before I can truly grow, which is why they are united against me. Hmph, they’re just afraid. Once I manage to unlock my true power, I’ll make sure not one of them lives to see another day!”

Ah, so it’s not because she’s antisocial...

Long Chen slowly reached out and placed a hand on her neck.

Yi Nuo’s wings quivered slightly. Her clothes instantly vanished, making Long Chen jump. “What are you doing?!”

“What? I am your servant, so everything I have is now yours. If you want it, you can have it whenever. You don’t need to test me!” said Yi Nuo coldly.

“Huh?!”

Long Chen was speechless. He immediately ordered her to put her clothes back on. Just now, his blood really had heated up. Yi Nuo’s body was surprisingly attractive.

I swear, these people really are direct...

Yi Nuo couldn’t help frowning. She didn’t understand him, but an order was an order, so she restored her clothes.

Long Chen put his hand back on her neck. He felt a majestic energy within.

He was a bit surprised. “A Supreme Bone?”

Yi Nuo had a Supreme Bone, and it was located in her neck. It was no wonder she would aim for her neck when she tried to kill herself. This Supreme Bone was where her life essence was stored, and right now, it was slumbering.

Suddenly, Yi Nuo’s Supreme Bone pulsed. Devil qi slowly radiated from it, and her expression changed. “You are able to awaken my Supreme Bone? How can this be?!”

Her Supreme Bone had been slumbering for years. She had tried countless things and consumed mountains of priceless treasures in an attempt to awaken it, yet she had always failed. And now, a single touch had caused such a reaction?

Her Supreme Bone then started to resonate with Long Chen’s, and Yi Nuo suddenly realized that the specific energy signature she was feeling came from every single bone in Long Chen’s body!

“You... you also have a Supreme—wait, your whole skeleton is made of Supreme Bones?! What the hell?!”

Long Chen pulled back his hand from her neck. The Supreme Bone in her neck slowly settled back into a deep slumber.

Yi Nuo was deeply shaken. She could no longer remain as indifferent as before. A strong thirst burned in her eyes. Her Supreme Bone was the crux of her growth; if she wanted to rise, she needed to awaken it. And Long Chen seemed to have a method to do so.

However, the blazing fire within her quickly cooled. If her Supreme Bone awakened, her power would instantly soar. Then she would be stronger than Long Chen and no longer be under his command. If she were Long Chen, there was no chance she would ever help a servant awaken their Supreme Bone.

Yi Nuo’s mouth twitched a few times. It seemed that she wanted to ask... no, she wanted to beg, but her pride would not permit her to do so. In the end, the pride won. She didn’t say anything.

“Your Supreme Bone is very special. I’d say that if you nurture it properly, your entire spine can turn into Supreme Bones,” said Long Chen after a moment’s thought.

“My... entire... spine?” Yi Nuo was once more shaken. If this was true, it was no wonder that her Supreme Bone had yet to awaken. Only the heavens knew how much more energy it needed to awaken its potential.

Long Chen handed her a bottle. “You’ve probably figured out that your Supreme Bone doesn’t have enough energy. That’s why it cannot grow. Here, try this!”

Yi Nuo opened the bottle and instantly felt the Grand Dao energy of a Heavenly Sovereign. Her eyes suddenly widened.
