Chapter 5372 A Cup of Water on a Burning Cart

The Hidden Dragon Legion charged into the heart of one of the devil races tribes. Over seven thousand warriors split into eight groups, surrounding the enemy.

As their swords danced, the astral winds howled, slicing through enormous, horned devil creatures. As soon as these devils fell, they were bound by lightning chains and disappeared, only to reappear on the black soil of Long Chens primal chaos space.

In an instant, the corpses were devoured by the starving black soil, which then unleashed a large amount of life energy.

Though these devils were only Heaven Saints, their life energy was equivalent to that of Emperor-level beings. After passing through three devil tribes, Long Chen finally found creatures with abundant life energy.

As more corpses filled the primal chaos space, the withered medicinal plants and the previously listless Moon Trees and Fusang Trees started to recover, greedily absorbing the fresh life force.

The Golden Crows that once perched on the Fusang Trees had vanished long ago, turning into Golden Crow runes to sustain the trees when they started to wither. Now, with the trees reviving, the Golden Crows reemerged, and flames flickered back to life on the leaves.

However, despite the influx of corpses, the primal chaos space was still desperately lacking in life energy. To fully restore it, Long Chen needed to put more corpses into it.

Meanwhile, the mysterious vine within the space was undergoing a nirvanic rebirth. It instinctively devoured life energy, absorbing most of what the primal chaos space had to offer.

As Tang Wan-er and her sisters advanced, more Emperor devil creatures appeared in their way. Those devil creatures exuded powerful Blood Qi, spewing flames that swallowed the battlefield.

Make sure to strike precisely! Dont waste energy. Every attack should be a killing blow. Work together to create openings if there are none! Long Chen shouted.

These Emperor-level devil creatures put immense pressure on the Hidden Dragon warriors. They were powerful, as shown by the life energy they released when devoured. It seemed that the primal chaos spaces black soil was an excellent judge of how strong a devil creature was.

These devil creatures were stronger than their predecessors, but Long Chen needed them. After all, only powerful devil creatures could provide the life energy necessary to satisfy the primal chaos space.

At first, the Hidden Dragon Legion had 3,600 members, but now, it included many new recruits, who were facing such a fierce battle for the first time. Their movements were clumsy, and their formation was disorganized. But luckily, the experienced veterans of the legion were there to guide them. Having survived their last battle, they were now entirely different. Even under this much pressure, everything was basically under control.

For everyone to work together seamlessly, they needed more experience. After all, there was no shortcut to reach an unspoken coordination just like the one existing among the Dragonblood warriors. Every failure became a lesson for them, and their formation steadily improved.

This time, the devil creatures were far stronger. Though in the same realm, their power far surpassed the Fiend Wind Blood Devils. As tens of thousands of Emperor-level devil creatures appeared, the pressure on the Hidden Dragon Legion skyrocketed.

At this moment, the eight retainers showed their killing prowess. With almost every blow, they felled these powerful Emperor devil creatures. After experiencing a life-and-death battle and learning from their previous losses, they had awakened their combat instincts. Adding on Long Chens training, as well as countless resources, they started to show the style of true experts.

The eight retainers slaughtered Emperor devil creatures in large numbers, reducing the pressure on the formation. Once the immediate threat was neutralized, they turned their focus back to assisting the ordinary warriors, helping them advance.

Tang Wan-er, as the leader, followed a strategy: when the legion struggled, she would intervene, but as soon as they could stand on their own, she would withdraw, allowing them to grow stronger through the struggle.

Hence, the eight retainers used the same method to help the Hidden Dragon warriors. As they controlled the pace of the battle, the Hidden Dragon Legion gradually turned the tide. Even under intense pressure, they fought with increasing confidence.

Tang Wan-er led the charge and directed her sisters. As for Long Chen, he stayed at the rear, cleaning up the battlefield. Just like that, the entire Hidden Dragon Legion advanced forward quickly.

The more Emperor devils they slew, the more life energy gathered in the primal chaos space. A faint mist of life Qi started to appear in the airstill thin, but now visible to the naked eye.

Wan-er, charge forward faster! We need more pressure, or they will start to take it easy, Long Chen transmitted to her.

Though none of the warriors would slack off, the absence of mortal danger would reduce the effectiveness of their training. Hence, Tang Wan-er increased the pace. But the next moment, the earth shook violently, and an intense devil qi surged.

An enormous devil creature erupted from the ground, sending rubble flying. Its terrifying aura crashed down on the Hidden Dragon Legion like a tidal wave, and raging astral winds buffeted them.

Eight-vein Emperor! exclaimed one of the retainers.

The previous devil tribes only had seven-vein Emperors, but now, they were facing an eight-vein Emperor.

This devil tribe was already far stronger than the ones before, and the appearance of its eight-vein Emperor brought a devilish pressure so overwhelming that it nearly suffocated the Hidden Dragon warriors, stirring fear deep within them.

Thats a big piece of meat! Long Chen nearly drooled, eyeing its enormous body and sensing its surging Blood Qi. Tang Wan-er was about to take it on herself when Long Chen instructed the eight retainers to join forces with the Hidden Dragon warriors and bring it down together.

Many of the warriors felt their hearts shake when they heard this, thinking that they misheard. How could they fight an eight-vein Emperor?

But the eight retainers, fully trusting Long Chens judgment, felt their fighting spirit blaze. If Long Chen believed they could defeat it, they had no doubt they would succeed. With that confidence, they led their groups forward, attacking the giant creature from eight directions.

Seeing everyone attacking, the eight-vein Emperor devil creature raised its foot and slammed it into the ground, sending a wave of destructive earth energy surging toward them.

Its earth energy! exclaimed one of the retainers.

This wave of earth was imbued with destructive earth energy and the full might of an eight-vein Emperor. If it hit, many would surely die. The eight retainers expressions shifted as they braced themselves for the impact.
