Chapter 1700: Empyrean Winged Blood Devils

The sixth form of Split the Heavens had many profundities . Long Chen knew how to use it, but he didn’t know the reason why it worked the way it did . When he had asked questions about its principles to the old man, the old man’s explanation had been very vague .

After Long Chen had asked a few too many questions, the old man angrily beat him, telling him to do it as the old man was teaching him to do it . Where did so many questions come from?

At that time, Long Chen realized that even the old man didn’t know the principles behind this technique . He would need to figure them out himself .

Long Chen’s attack infuriated the winged devils . They roared and charged forward . The ones at the front were instantly blown to bits upon striking the spatial gate .

The rest hastily retreated . However, in just that one instant, thousands of them had been killed by the explosive spatial power . That made them roar even more furiously .

“Don’t be so impatient . Once the spatial gate is opened, annihilate the human race . They might be filthy pigs, but their blood is the best sacrificial offering . ” Suddenly, a voice rang out, and it caused the winged devils to calm down .

A black-haired man in violet robes appeared amongst the winged devils . As soon as he appeared, the other winged devils went respectfully silent .

The Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples looked at him in shock . Other than his eyes having blood-colored runes, this man looked the same as the human race .

However, his aura was absolutely terrifying . They could vaguely see some blood-colored images appear behind him . It looked like a roaring fiend emotionlessly looking down on them .

“This fellow is powerful . ” Guo Ran and the others jumped in shock . This man’s aura was so oppressive that it was hard for them to breathe .

Those ordinary winged devils already had somewhat frightening auras, but this black-haired man’s aura was dozens of times stronger than theirs, maybe even over a hundred times stronger . Even experts like Chu Yao and Gu Yang felt a chill on their backs .

Behind him was a large group of people . If they weren’t standing amongst the winged devils, Long Chen would have thought that they were humans .

Seeing those people, Long Chen’s pupils narrowed . Although he didn’t know the cultivation realms of the winged devils, other than the black-haired man, the rest of these people had cultivation bases on the level of the Life Star realm . That feeling was clear .

That made his heart shake . If those people really charged over, then Long Chen and the others might not be able to hold them .

These winged devils were even stronger than the Golden Claw Blood Devils, and they were also different from the previous devil creatures . This was an army full of winged devils without any other species . If they all charged forward, then even with the Dragonblood Legion’s power, there might be huge casualties . As for the Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples, they might all be wiped out .

However, the thing that drew Long Chen’s attention was a certain thing that the man had said .

“Sacrificial offering? Who are you offering sacrifice to?” Long Chen rested Evilmoon on his shoulder . They were viewed as sacrificial offerings . That made him grasp a possible crux of the situation .

“You’ll know once you’re dead,” sneered the black-haired man . He didn’t fall for Long Chen’s bait . “If you think you can learn secrets from my mouth, you should save your effort . All you need to know is that you are pigs that should obediently be killed . Struggling will only make things more painful for you . ”

This man was so arrogant as to view them as pigs for the slaughter . The Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples’ fury was instantly ignited .

“Then I won’t waste the effort . Once I cut off your head and do a soulsearch, I’ll naturally know,” said Long Chen indifferently .

“Hahaha!” The man laughed . His laughter shook people’s ears even through the spatial gate, causing the Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples’ expressions to change . He was truly terrifying . “I can sense the aura of winged devils from your body . You must have killed winged devils before . However, amongst the over three thousand and six hundred branches of the winged devils, my Empyrean Winged Blood Devil race is ranked seventh . Based on your aura, you should be in the human race’s Soul Transformation realm . That’s the same level as my winged devil race’s Blood Transformation realm . In other words, we’re in the same realm . Once the spatial gate opens, I’ll show you that in front of the Empyrean Winged Blood Devil race, humans are weaklings that can only wait to be killed . ”

Following his sneering, the winged devils parted, revealing countless Empyrean Winged Blood Devils .

It seemed that the ordinary winged devils were just cannon fodder, while the Empyrean Winged Blood Devils were the true fighters . Seeing the huge army of Empyrean Winged Blood Devils, the Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples despaired .

If they were just fighting hundreds of thousands or even maybe a few million, they would still have the ability to fight . However, an endless number of winged devils could be seen here . Their numbers had to be counted in the hundreds of millions . This was a hopeless battle .

Even Gu Yang, Meng Qi, and the others gasped . Although the battle had yet to start, just based on their auras, the ordinary winged devils were already stronger than the Golden Claw Blood Devils .

On top of that were the Empyrean Winged Blood Devils, which were even stronger than the regular winged devils . They were the true elites . Even the Dragonblood Legion who had fought alongside Long Chen for so long had never faced such a huge power disparity .
