Chapter 562 - Divine Fire Realm
The Demon Emperor had a feeling that this would happen, but when Long Chen said it, anger stirred within him.
One of the Demon Saint’s faces was steely green when he said darkly, “You brat, you guys have already made an enemy out of the Martial Alliance. Do you guys really want to make the Ancient Demon Domain an enemy too? It doesn’t matter how many masters the Dragon clan has—you guys won’t be able to fight us all! Don’t you dare twist our arms.”
The other Demon Saint added, “Let us have this win today, and we will help you next time. If this goes south, with the sheer size of the Martial Alliance and the Ancient Demon Domain, can you be sure that the Dragon clan members won’t be killed off one by one? Not every Dragon clan member is as powerful as the Glacier Dragon Emperor.”
The two Demon Saints were older, so they were experienced, cunning foxes.
Their words made sense.
However, this did not scare Long Chen and Long Yue, because the Ancient Demon Domain and the Dragon clan were already enemies. If the Dragon clan was afraid of them, Long Yue would not have come here today. Jiang Wuya was far away, so Long Chen was not worried. Jiang Wuya was a trustworthy person, and with him leading the other four, it would be difficult for the Martial Alliance and the Ancient Demon Domain to touch them.
The Divine Martial was huge, so finding a single person would be very hard.
Even if they remained in the Cloud Dream Swamp, it would be difficult to find Jiang Wuya and his squad after he left.
Long Chen and Long Yue locked eyes for a moment, then Long Chen said, “Elders, you do not need to scare me. Without the Red Emperor Seal in my hand, I will never hand Jiang Wushang over. Oh no, let me see! It looks like he’s bleeding! If this drags out and he loses too much blood, he’ll die! And if that happens, you can’t blame me.”
Long Chen spoke in an infuriating tone.
The Demon Emperor and the others’s faces were green. They regretted not killing Long Chen when he was in the Ancient Demon Domain. If they had killed him, this stalemate would not have happened.
Jiang Wuxie’s heart shattered when he saw the state his son was in.
The blood flowing out of Jiang Wushang’s abdomen was his blood too.
“What now?” Jiang Wuxie’s mind was a mess.
“The Red Emperor Seal is one of the five Emperor Seals. Do you think you can gather all five Emperor Seals and get the Emperor-tier combat technique on your own? With the Martial Emperor present, that’s obviously impossible. Even if you do collect all five, where will you hide if the Martial Overlord decides to kill you? The Dragon clan is different. The Martial Overlord can’t do anything to us. That is why it’s best you recognize the situation as it is,” Long Chen said.
It was the truth. The Demon Emperor’s home was the Ancient Demon Domain, which meant he could not appear and disappear like the Dragon clan. Even if he could collect all five Emperor Seals, he would have to give them to the powerful Martial Overlord.
With that thought, the Demon Emperor and the two Demon Saints accepted their fate. Long Chen’s words had successfully convinced them.
But would the Martial Alliance give up?
The Demon Emperor was concerned about Jiang Wushang’s life, but the Martial Alliance was not. While the Demon Emperor hesitated, Yang Ningfeng gestured, and all the Martial Alliance members surrounded Long Chen and Long Yue. Completing the trade with the Demon Emperor was not going to be easy.
They found themselves in a stalemate once again.
Long Chen frowned. With the Martial Alliance intervening, this was going to be much more difficult.
“Big Sister, what do we do?” asked Long Chen. The Martial Alliance was watching, and he did not have a solution.
Long Chen had no confidence that he could complete the trade under these circumstances.
No one dared to move first, so the tension continued.
When everyone’s patience was wearing thin and Jiang Wushang grew paler, another unexpected twist happened.
There was a sudden explosion not far behind Long Chen, which threw mud into the air. Then they saw fire ten times hotter than before shooting up into the sky, causing half the sky to turn completely red. The sound of a chanting mantra came from the fiery-red clouds, and suddenly, a gigantic projection of the Red Emperor Seal appeared within the clouds. A moment later, it disappeared!
This phenomenon lasted more than ten times longer than before. While everyone was still stunned, the ground trembled as if something was digging to the surface.
Long Chen froze for a while, though because his mind was sharper than average, he immediately thought of the Red Emperor Seal’s legend. That bizarre phenomenon was identical to the legends, which stated that the phenomenon appeared in two steps. The previous phenomenon only consisted of the firelight!
Didn’t that mean that the Red Emperor Seal from before was a fake?!
When Long Chen realized this, Long Yue quickly drew the same conclusion! Everyone looked at the Demon Emperor, who froze and immediately took out the Red Emperor Seal. He slammed his palm on it, and the legendary Red Emperor Seal shattered!
It’s a fake! We’ve been played! The same thought popped into everyone’s minds. They must have been tricked! The first phenomenon must have been fabricated by someone, and the replica Red Emperor Seal must have been used as a decoy!
It was an extremely intricate plan too!
It was obvious that this time was the actual birth of the Red Emperor Seal!
The person behind this had pulled an extremely cunning trick. Many people had died or sustained injuries in the previous battle. The Dragon clan, the Martial Alliance, and the Ancient Demon Domain had fought and even formed grudges. They had no idea that it was over a fake Red Emperor Seal!
They were stunned when the true Red Emperor Seal was revealed.
The one who reacted the fastest was the Martial Alliance because they had no attachments and quickly adjusted to the situation when they realized that the seal was fake. They sprinted toward the location where the Red Emperor Seal was born. The Ancient Demon Domain obviously wanted to go too, but Jiang Wushang was still in Long Chen’s hands!
Long Chen could read the situation and knew that the Demon Emperor did not actually have the Red Emperor Seal, so Jiang Wushang was now useless to him. Taking Jiang Wushang with him would only mean carrying an extra burden. Without a word, he threw Jiang Wushang at the Demon Emperor, who carefully caught him and passed him to a Demon Saint. With no time to teach Long Chen a lesson, they quickly followed the Martial Alliance towards the true Red Emperor Seal.
“Let’s go too,” Long Yue said.
“Big Sister, you go first. I’ll catch up later. Don’t worry, I have Blood Warp. If anything goes wrong, I will run immediately!”
After what had happened, Long Yue trusted him and quickly nodded before following the Ancient Demon Domain. Long Chen was confident in Long Yue’s abilities too. After she left, he went up to the Black Water Viper’s carcass.
Someone had taken its demonic core and beast soul.
But the most important thing to him was its blood.
Even the Primordial Realm could not fit such a big body, so he used the Blood Devouring Domain once more to extract all the blood in its body. When he was done, a large blood orb had gathered in front of Long Chen. He looked like an ant next to it!
The withered carcass of the Black Water Viper remained in place.
Although the body did not fit, he could fit its blood in the Primordial Realm.
“Although the most important thing when cultivating at the Martial Realm is comprehension, increasing one’s essence is very important. With this Category Three King-tier beast’s blood, I won’t have to worry about getting King Crystals.”
Other people relied on King Crystals to strengthen their essence, but Long Chen could do it with just beast blood.
After he stored the blood in the Primordial Realm, Long Chen looked towards the Red Emperor Seal’s direction.
“Although there are powerful enemies present, the Five Emperor Seals are extremely important to me. Even if I only have a tiny trace of hope, I must try to take it. I don’t have the luxury of choosing. If I don’t get strong enough, how will I be able to meet Xiao Xi’s parents?”
Long Chen missed the girl dearly; his longing for her sometimes made him so miserable that he could not breathe. Perhaps this was love.
All the experiences he had with her were enough for him to savor and reminisce for the rest of his life.
“Let’s go!”
After steeling himself, he took a deep breath and sprinted to battle. This task had not taken much time, so he was sure that no one had gotten the Red Emperor Seal yet.
Very soon, Long Chen arrived at his destination. The same people from before were standing in a circle, though Long Chen’s eyes were first drawn to a strange structure. It was a large, fiery door that rose from the ground!
More specifically, it was a gigantic fireball. On one side, there was a large, bronze door bathed in flames. It looked simple, but it radiated an ancient aura and a regalness that made everyone nervous.
There was a fiery red sign above the bronze door engraved with fiery characters.
“It’s the ... Divine Fire Realm!”
Long Chen quickly read the sign.
This meant that the fiery door led to a miniverse, and the Red Emperor Seal was in that miniverse!
After studying the door, he looked at the people in front and noticed a burnt, black body on the ground. Since the body was in front of the door and no one was rushing in, it likely meant that this person had tried to make his way through but was burnt to death!
