Chapter 402: 402

“Back then, I fought a b.l.o.o.d.y battle the entire time . I don’t even know how many Devilmen I killed . But when the fight finally ended, when I was just about to die, I noticed a certain thing . ”

The barbarian race expert brought the two of them forward . Not far from them was a mountain of bones that was even larger than the previous mountain .

Looking at the size, there would not be less than a thousand skeletons in that pile . Just looking at that would make a person’s scalp numb . But with the barbarian race expert leading the way, Long Chen and Yue Xiaoqian could only summon their courage .

“These Two-Winged Devilmen weren’t killed by me . ”

Long Chen and Yue Xiaoqian were shocked to hear that . If he hadn’t killed them, then who had?

When they got close enough, that mountain of bones suddenly rocked, and countless Two-Winged Devilman skeletons awoke, all about to attack them .

The barbarian race expert snorted and with a wave of his saber, a blood-colored saber-image flew out like a heavenly blade, cutting apart the void .

That huge wave of Devilmen were all cut to bone fragments by this single attack . The power contained within that saber had already surpa.s.sed the boundary of Long Chen’s understanding .

Long Chen and Yue Xiaoqian glanced at each other, each seeing the other person’s shock . Yue Xiaoqian was also filled with lingering fear .

At the same time, the two of them were also filled with elation . If he had released such an attack back then, the two of them would have been instantly obliterated .

Countless devil cores fell to the ground . Long Chen and Yue Xiaoqian went to gather them quickly .

The barbarian expert watched . “Hurry up . I don’t have much time left . ”

Long Chen hastily pulled on Yue Xiaoqian, his meaning that the devil cores wouldn’t be able to run away, so there was no need to gather them so anxiously .

The two of them continued following the barbarian race expert . Now that he had recovered his consciousness, he was no longer fighting instinctively, but using some kind of energy Long Chen was unfamiliar with to release powerful attacks that were practically unblockable .

Long Chen couldn’t help lamenting . If only he could bring out such an expert, then he could easily raze down the first monastery .

With another wave of his saber, more Devilmen were crushed to bits .

“It should be here . However, I’m already dead, so I can’t sense it . You two should try to see if you can sense an odd fluctuation here . Quickly!” The barbarian race expert was running out of time .

“Fluctuation? It’s here . ” Long Chen could sense an odd fluctuation three hundred meters underground . There was a mighty aura released from there that could make a person’s soul s.h.i.+ver .

The barbarian race expert slashed at the ground where Long Chen pointed, causing stone and dirt to fly . At the same time, a palm-sized item flew out .

That item sparkled brightly, releasing a green light . It was a scale that floated into the air in front of them . The barbarian race expert was gratified it was still here .

“Senior, this is…?” Looking at that floating scale, Long Chen sensed a heaven-overflowing will .

Floating in the air, the scale seemed like an arrogant emperor of the world . It was as if all living things could only serve at its feet .

That was a kind of inherent grandness and arrogance . Others had no choice but to admire and wors.h.i.+p it, without the slightest ability to even form a heart to resist .

Yue Xiaoqian’s face was pale as she tightly clenched Long Chen’s hand . He could feel the cold sweat on her hand as well her slight trembling .

“That is a green dragon’s reverse scale . ”

The barbarian race expert’s words caused both Long Chen and Yue Xiaoqian great shock . Although Yue Xiaoqian was extremely learned, a dragon was something that existed only in legends .

They originated from before even the immortal era . That was an age that was impossible to date . Within the eyes of the current cultivators, dragons were just mythical beasts from legends .

The legends said that dragons were the emperors of all beasts . They were the most sacred existence, and even in the flouris.h.i.+ng immortal age, they were existances that could look down on all . There was no one that would dare disrespect them .

Now looking at this small scale, Long Chen and Yue Xiaoqian were both filled with shock . They finally understood why this scale was so terrifying .

The legends said that a dragon’s scales grew along with them from birth, never shedding . There was only one exception: that was a scale that grew in reverse . It was located under their necks, and that was where all the dragon’s heart blood converged . It was also their weak point .

This reverse scale was a forbidden area to dragons . No one had better touch it, or the dragon’s majestic fury would cause a bloodbath throughout the nine heavens, creating corpses throughout ten thousand miles .

Those were all things that Long Chen had heard in legends . But Long Chen had never imagined he would see a green dragon’s scale, let alone its reverse scale .

This legendary reverse scale was connected to the dragon’s heart blood . After being nourished for a long time by that heart blood, it gained its own miraculous powers .

“Those Two-Winged Devilmen were all killed by this dragon scale . ” The barbarian race expert once more dropped a bombsh.e.l.l . Long Chen, who had been shocked to the point of being insensitive now, once more had his jaw drop . “But although this is just a remnant of a green dragon, the dragon might contained in it is specialized towards restraining fiendish auras . While fighting, these Two-Winged Devilmen ended up carelessly provoking the reverse scale that had been buried here, causing them to be instantly exterminated by its dragon might . ”

“You… you’re giving this to me?” Long Chen was so emotionally moved that he was stuttering . This was a dragon’s reverse scale, a legendary existence!

“It’s not that I’m giving it to you, as it was never mine in the first place . All I did was manage to see it exterminate these Devilmen right before my death .
