Chapter 1024: 1024

Lei Long charged out, lighting up the sky . It pounced on the Bloodthirsty Devil Lizards, and its powerful thunderforce caused them to explode one by one .

Long Chen was unaware that the Devil World's creatures were all restrained by thunderforce . That was especially true since his thunderforce came from the nine heavens' tribulation lightning . It was the most supreme Yang existence, and so its effect was even greater than the flame dragon's .

Lei Long's arrival immediately reversed the tides . Under Guo Ran's command, they tightened their battle formation and focused on defense .

Lei Long had filled the void left by Huo Long . Now they were safe, but when they clearly saw how many of them were left, all their eyes turned red .

From the moment Huo Long had been attacked, which caused their defensive line to be broken, until Long Chen returned, only a few breaths had passed . But during that time, half of them had died .

Some of them couldn't help but let out bestial roars and weep tears as they looked at the corpses on the ground . Those people were their brothers . These fallen comrades had sacrificed their own lives to protect them .

They had only just learned what it meant to entrust their lives to others, what it meant for them to protect each other . But in the blink of an eye, these people had thrown away their own lives to keep their promise . Seeing them lying there, never to move again, an unprecedented pain filled the survivors' hearts . They even wished the ones to die had been them .

The Dragonblood warriors profoundly understood this feeling, as they had been life and death brothers for a long time . They knew how this kind of relationship felt, so they understood that pain very well .

Long Chen's eyes were icy as he charged at the distant flame beast . That flame beast had its mouth clamped over Huo Long's neck, and it was rapidly absorbing its energy .

Without a word, Long Chen slashed down with his saber . His fury had reached a peak .

The flame beast was struck in the neck, and the immense power blew it away, allowing Huo Long to escape . With a furious roar, it charged at the flame beast .

Huo Long was infuriated . Because of the sneak attack, it had been stuck in a disadvantage and unable to reverse the tide nor release any of its power . Now it had to get revenge .

"Get back . You're not its match right now . Work with me," said Long Chen hastily . The flame beast had already absorbed too much of Huo Long's energy . The flame beast had originally just been a bit stronger, but now the difference was too great .

The flame beast roared at Long Chen . That roar seemed to contain a trace of mocking .

Long Chen knew that this flame beast was connected to Que Xinyan's mind . Everything that had happened was at Que Xinyan's will .

Que Xinyan had originally been thinking of devouring Long Chen's flame dragon while he fought for the core disciple spot . But he hadn't expected Long Chen would actually give up his core disciple spot and return to save these ordinary disciples .

"You think you can leave now? Keep dreaming!"

Seeing the flame beast turned around, Long Chen sneered and formed hand seals .

"Raging Flame Prison!"

Flame chains descended from the sky and stabbed into the ground . The flame beast was instantly bound within it .

This was why Long Chen didn't let Huo Long attack . It was to prevent the flame beast from escaping . Only when Huo Long was cooperating with him could he capture the flame beast .

Space constantly twisted . The flame beast crazily attacked the prison, but this prison was the combination of Long Chen and Huo Long's power . Its own energy was unable to rattle it .

The flame prison rapidly shrank . The flame beast was now being compressed into a ball and unable to move . Its struggling was of no avail .

"Die!" The flame prison continued to shrink, and the flame beast had now gone from five miles long to three hundred meters . And it was only continuing to shrink .

"Long Chen, you dare?!"

A furious roar came from a distant light barrier . It was Que Xinyan .

Right now, he had completely suppressed his silver lizard and was about to kill it . But at the same time, Long Chen had bound his flame beast . At this time, he was unable to help his flame beast escape .

Previously, he had forced Long Chen to make a difficult situation . Now Long Chen had placed him in a similar situation .

If he wanted to save his flame beast, he would have to give up on killing the silver lizard before him . Just like Long Chen, he would have to give up his core disciple spot . But a core disciple spot was incredibly important .

One reason was because of the rewards given out, while the other reason was that within the Xuantian Dao Sect, only a core disciple had the qualifications to form their own faction .

"Flame Prison Deathblow!"

Long Chen seemed to not hear Que Xinyan . His spiritual yuan erupted, and the flame prison condensed to its peak . The flame beast had completely deformed and was unable to even roar .

"Long Chen, if you dare to hurt my Earth Flame Beast, I will definitely make you die without a grave!" roared Que Xinyan .

Bang!

The flame beast had been compressed to the peak, and it suddenly exploded into flame runes .

Huo Long flew out and devoured all those runes . They were the essence of the flame beast, equivalent to its flesh and blood . They were treasures to Huo Long .

"AHHH! Long Chen, just wait! I will definitely kill you!" Seeing his own flame beast being killed, Que Xinyan almost exploded . It had to be known that he only had two Earth Flames, and those two Earth Flames had cost his family countless resources just to obtain . Furthermore, raising them had exhausted endless manpower and effort .

Having one of his flame beasts killed was like having his arm severed . It filled him with pain, and he almost went insane .

BOOM!

Suddenly, heaven and earth shook . The light barrier where Hua Shiyu was exploded . It transformed into runes that flew toward the Heaven Female Alliance .

"Big sister Shiyu is the most amazing! She's the first to become a core disciple! Everyone, hang on . Victory is in sight!" shouted Zhao Ziyan .

The Heaven Female Alliance was heavily injured right now . They were down to eighty thousand disciples from their original one hundred and thirty thousand . But with these runes flying over, they had finally reached the end .

The runes fell into their midst . When they landed on their bodies, they would instantly vanish . In just a few breaths, the eighty thousand disciples of the Heaven Female Alliance disappeared from the battlefield .

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!

Hu Guishan, Fan Song, and Wang Zhen's light barriers exploded at almost the same time . The light barriers turned into runes that flew amongst their factions .

Those disciples let out a burst of cheering, but those cheers had only just appeared when they became miserable again . By relaxing, they had left an opening for the Bloodthirsty Devil Lizards . Quite a few people died instantly .

The flying runes needed a few breaths to send them away . In their excitement, they had actually made such a fatal mistake .

Fortunately, they managed to endure the last few breaths . Once they were transported away, there were over a thousand more corpses on the ground .

Once those people were killed, another explosion erupted . Que Xinyan had defeated his silver lizard .

Just as his light barrier exploded, Que Xinyan roared and charged at Long Chen . But the light barriers runes landed on him and he vanished . His faction also vanished in just a few breaths .

Now, the only ones left on the battlefield were the Dragonblood warriors and the surviving ordinary disciples .

After devouring the other Earth Flame's essence, Huo Long had transformed once more . It had gone from faint blue to scarlet . When its runes circulated, powerful heat waves roasted the heavens .

It had only just devoured the Earth Flame's essence and hadn't had time to digest it . It had no time for that, and it worked together with Lei Long to form a defensive perimeter that protected everyone . Even the sea of Bloodthirsty Devil Lizards was unable to harm the people inside any longer .

"Sorry, senior apprentice-brother Long Chen . We caused you to lose your core disciple spot . " The disciples came before Long Chen, ashamed .

For them, he had ordered the Dragonblood warriors to be their shield, which was why so many of them survived . Later, he had established their trust in each other, and he had found the devil monsters' fatal weaknesses to help them .

He had shown them how to get stronger, and they were endlessly grateful . Even if they died, they would still be eternally grateful . But now, he had sacrificed the most precious core disciple spot in the Xuantian Dao Sect to help them . They had implicated him .

Long Chen shook his head and didn't reply . He checked their numbers . The Dragonblood warriors were all fine, and so was Qian Duoduo . But now, the ordinary disciples had dropped from thirty thousand to thirteen thousand . That number made his eyes turn cold .

This was not a mere number, but lives . Each one of them had been carrying their own aspirations . But now they would never be able to achieve those dreams .

Long Chen's expression was frighteningly dark . No one dared to say anything . Guo Ran and the others who were familiar with him knew that he had reached the edge of exploding .

After an incense stick's worth of time, runes fell from the sky . Long Chen felt his body lighten, and he vanished from the battlefield, appearing in a huge plaza .

"Long Chen, hand over your life!"

Long Chen and the others had only just appeared when a furious roar rang out . A large hand reached toward Long Chen's throat .
