“Raging Flame Prison!”
Long Chen’s figure was like a wisp of smoke in the air as he used the Lightning Body Blink to dodge the Eight-Arm Horned Devil’s attacks . At the same time, he formed hand seals, and endless flame runes condensed in the air .
BOOM!
An immense flame prison trapped the Eight-Arm Horned Devil . After completing that, Long Chen became a bit pale as he gasped for breath .
The Raging Flame Prison was a kind of spatial magical art . Once it was formed, it couldn’t be moved . If he hadn’t trapped the Eight-Arm Horned Devil, all his efforts would have been wasted .
To lock onto an opponent during such an intense battle was extremely difficult . It was even more difficult in such a close-range hand-to-hand battle .
Furthermore, this was his first time using the Raging Flame Prison without holding back . It immediately drew all his spiritual yuan and Spiritual Strength . Now, he was in a feeble state, and his head hurt fiercely . That was a sign he had overdrawn his Spiritual Strength .
The Eight-Arm Horned Devil continuously attacked the flame prison, vainly trying to break it . But it was unable to shatter the chains formed by the flame runes .
This flame prison was not the same as when Long Chen had just been testing it . This time, he was using his full strength, and this attack was the strongest one Long Chen could use right now .
The Eight-Arm Horned Devil charged left and right, trying to break through . Its body was covered in faint flame runes that began to ignite . It quickly became a flame devil .
As it began to burn, Long Chen wiped off some cold sweat . This puppet wasn’t afraid of thunderforce, and its body was incomparably tough . If even the Raging Flame Prison was ineffective against it, he really would be doomed .
The Eight-Arm Horned Devil continuously charged to the edge of the prison, but those edges had chains condensed of flame runes . No matter how it tried, they were unbreakable .
Now he finally saw its weak point . Once it was trapped, it only knew how to instinctively struggle . That made Long Chen sigh with relief . If this continued, it would definitely die .
After all, his flame runes came from the Earth Flame . Its power was limitless . A human would have long since burned to ash or melted . Even a rank three Celestial wouldn’t be able to resist .
But this Eight-Arm Horned Devil’s body was too tough . Despite being covered in flames, it continued to attack the prison .
Due to its intense attacks, the flame prison was constantly shaking . The entire cavern was also quivering with it . It was fortunate that the Raging Flame Prison was exceedingly st.u.r.dy .
“Without the Raging Flame Prison, I would probably have died here . How could this Eight-Arm Horned Devil be so terrifying? Is it really only at the Xiantian realm?”
This was Long Chen’s first time receiving such a blow to his confidence . Just what kind of terrifying origin did this Eight-Arm Horned Devil have? How could such a terrifying thing exist without anyone in the outside world knowing about it?
Although the ancient legends mentioned battles between G.o.ds and devils, those were just legends . Furthermore, there were all kinds of sinister images of devils, but those were just drawn from human’s imagination .
“Devils? Existences that can challenge G.o.ds? They must be real, or there wouldn’t be legends of their battles…”
Long Chen suddenly felt a chill . He had a bad premonition . From the old tribe leader, he had learned that the Immemorial Path had been a trial world created for the geniuses of ancient times .
In those times, the spiritual qi in the world had been overflowing, and the cultivation world had been in its golden age . The treatment that geniuses received back then compared to now was as different as heaven and earth . Those ancient disciples received resources and treatment like they were crown princes, while the geniuses of today were poor beggars in comparison .
Since there was a legend that there had been an immense battle back then, that meant that the devil races were capable of contending against the G.o.d races . And if that were true…
The Eight-Arm Horned Devil suddenly roared . It stepped back a few steps, and its horn suddenly lit up . A ray of light pierced the prison and shot towards Long Chen .
Long Chen was startled and hastily dodged .
The light pierced right past his body and struck the wall . That wall, which had been unbreakable since the start, was pierced through as easily as if it were tofu .
If Long Chen’s reactions had been the slightest bit slower, he would have been struck head-on . And if that had happened, he doubted he would have been able to keep his life .
It was unknown what kind of energy was behind that light for it to break through such an indestructible wall . That meant that whatever that ray of light was, it possessed some kind of energy that Long Chen had never seen before .
Long Chen also realized why he had been so uneasy . It was because he had overlooked an extremely crucial point to the introduction of the Eight-Arm Horned Devil that he had read at the beginning . That had almost caused him to lose his life .
