Chapter 529 - The Last Blood Sacrifice

“No!” Liu Yiyi shouted, but the Clear Shallows King immediately covered her mouth. Liu Yiyi’s face was covered with tears. If the Clear Shallows King was not holding her tight, she might have run to Long Chen’s side. CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m

He would die if the Red Ghost Worm fed on his organs for seven days and seven nights.

Liu Yiyi almost fainted after hearing that Long Chen would have to undergo such a brutal punishment.

How could she bear to let Long Chen die like that?

But with so many masters surrounding him, how could he possibly fight back?

Even though Long Chen was talented, there was nothing he could do in this situation.

He could use Blood Warp, but the Demon Emperor was blocking the exit. The technique was now useless, and he was trapped.

Everyone dispersed to make space for the Red Ghost King to capture Long Chen and make him swallow the Red Ghost Worm.

The crowd was startled by the Red Ghost King’s blood-red eyes. The Red Ghost King had always been crazy and vicious, and this proved that he was indeed not to be provoked. If Jiang Wushang had been the executioner, Long Chen would likely have died immediately. However, the Red Ghost King’s Red Ghost Worm would make Long Chen suffer for seven days and seven nights before killing him!

Long Chen had not expected the Red Ghost King to step up, which had ruined his final plan.

He initially thought that if Jiang Wushang fought him, he would be able to hold Jiang Wushang hostage using Blood Sacrifice and then run away. Even so, it was not a plan with a high chance of success, since the effects of Blood Sacrifice would eventually fade. However, if he held the Red Ghost King hostage, Jiang Wushang would not care!

Long Chen was cornered.

He knew that he had a ninety-nine percent chance of dying here. None of his divine techniques would help him escape alive, not Blood Warp, Blood Sacrifice, or even Rewind!

In this world where masters were as common as clouds, Long Chen once again felt how helpless he was.

Xi’er, all I can say is sorry. I could not fulfill the promise I made you. I’m useless. I’m sorry, I’m sorry ...

Long Chen felt like he had been stabbed in the heart when he thought about how Ling Xi would live alone for the rest of her life. She would wait forever, but she would never see him again ...

I hope you find your own happiness one day. A useless person like me is not fit for you. Long Chen suddenly felt like laughing. He had been filled to the brim with battle spirit, and he even swore he would make his way to Ling Xi.

But now?

Cruel reality was right in front of him.

The almighty, mysterious leader of the Ancient Demon Domain, the Demon Emperor Jiang Wuxie.

Seven Demon Kings and the Earthly-Martial-Realm Jiang Wuxie.

Fifty-plus grand elders, twenty-eight Demon Generals!

All these people were stronger than Long Chen!

He wouldn’t be able to escape from them even if he had wings.

I wonder if anyone will remember me after I die ... Long Chen’s heart was filled with bitterness. He looked up and saw the sneer on the Red Ghost King’s face. The Red Ghost King approached him. When Long Chen saw the Red Ghost King’s red eyes, his eyes turned red too.

Long Chen closed his eyes.

Blood Sacrifice, Third Stage.

There were many cries of surprise, and the crowd erupted because everyone saw blood-red flames rising from his body! The roaring flames shot to the skies, even forcing the approaching Red Ghost King away!

Roar!

Long Chen had never used this extreme level of Blood Sacrifice before. Doing this would severely damage his body!

He had burned three stages worth of energy to use Blood Sacrifice at its third stage, in turn temporarily raising his strength by three tiers!

This was a technique that broke the rules of the game!

All the masters’ eyes widened!

“What is that?!”

Everyone gasped in shock. The ones with some capability could sense that his strength was quickly increasing. They had never seen growth on this level before.

Due to his Dragon Soul Transformation, he had as much Qi as an Eighth Passage Stage cultivator. When the blood-red flames burned, Long Chen’s Qi suddenly surpassed the Ninth Passage Stage, touching upon the border of the Earthly Martial Realm!

The power source of the Earthly Martial Realm was no longer Qi, but an evolved version known as essence. Long Chen had a lot more Qi now, but Qi was inferior to essence. However, after progressing three stages, Long Chen’s huge Qi reserves far outweighed the essence possessed by a First Earthly Martial Stage cultivator! He was even close to the Second Earthly Martial Stage!

It was now up to fate to decide how it would translate into combat power!

Qi and essence were different after all!

Long Chen’s sudden rise in Qi was just one of the things the crowd was shocked at. After the red flames appeared, an animal’s shadow appeared in the flames, and furious roars could be heard.

The beast seemed to be a snake or a Jiao[1], but it was very different from those two. A word popped into everyone’s heads.

“A dragon! That’s a dragon from the legends!” someone said, causing the crowd to erupt. Everyone turned to look at the roaring dragon shadow in the flames, but it had only appeared for a moment.

After it disappeared, the red flames remained, crackling on Long Chen’s body!

No one knew how strong he was at this point!

This was Long Chen’s last retaliation at the brink of death. He was a proud man, so he had to die in a spectacular manner. That was why he had chosen this extreme method!

How powerful was he now?

Long Chen did not know either. All he knew was that even though he had cultivated the True Martial Demon Body, his body was on the brink of breaking down! He had to attack quickly to put the energy to good use!

“It’s just an illusion!” The Red Ghost King was stunned too. When he came to his senses, he was furious because he realized he had run away in fright. This was a huge humiliation. Ignoring everything else, he ran towards Long Chen.

As a First Earthly Martial Stage cultivator, capturing Long Chen would be simple.

When Long Chen looked up, the look in his eyes and his cold smirk stunned the Red Ghost King for a moment.
