Chapter 5433 Heavenly Lightning Subdues Devils

Tribulation clouds roiled across the land, shattering the laws of the Wind Domain Battlefield and scattering them into chaos.

At the heart of the tribulation, Long Chen stood tall, fearless even in the face of the Golden Wing Heaven Devils, who were about to awaken.

Even Feng Wuji and the others were shocked, staring at him in disbelief. Who could have predicted that Long Chen intended to unleash heavenly tribulation against these ancient devil corpses?

One by one, the towering figures of the Golden Wing Heaven Devils clawed their way up from the ground. But as they rose, bolts of lightning descended like divine wrath, engulfing them in a sea of destructive light.

The Golden Wing Heaven Devils howled in fury, their devil runes igniting and smoldering under the assault of heavenly lightning.

Even Feng Wuji and his group were not spared. Glowing runes appeared on their bodies, only to lift away and ignite into ephemeral flames.

“What’s going on?!” exclaimed one of Feng Wuji’s companions. They didn’t understand what was happening.

Only Feng Wuji remained calm, his eyes glimmering with understanding. He knew that the power of heavenly tribulation was their bane. Though their wills lingered, they were fundamentally dead. Hence, against the suprYang force of heavenly lightning, their residual soul essence was doomed to annihilation.

Heavenly tribulation represented the highest laws of this era—the strongest will of the Heavenly Daos. As they were not of this era, they would be even more suppressed by the heavenly tribulation.

Quick as a flash, Long Chen attacked the closest Golden Wing Heaven Devil. It roared and shielded itself with its wings, but his saber sheared them off cleanly.

Even while restrained by the tribulation, the Golden Wing Heaven Devil sent Long Chen flying, blood spurting from his lips. But he immediately charged back.

This Golden Wing Heaven Devil was already severely wounded. With a decisive slash, Long Chen's saber split its head in two, extinguishing its body and soul entirely.

At this moment, the remaining Golden Wing Heaven Devils stirred, their revival accelerating. They let out earth-shaking roars and charged at Long Chen with murderous intent.

Long Chen gritted his teeth, his grip on Evilmoon tightening as the saber spun in a deadly arc. In a flash, a Golden Wing Heaven Devil raked its claws across Long Chen’s back, carving five bloody gashes so deep that bone glimmered beneath the wounds.

“Fuck off!” Long Chen roared in fury.

Ignoring the searing pain, he swung Evilmoon with unmatched ferocity, shattering the devil’s head in a burst of blood and bone. Another Golden Wing Heaven Devil fell to his blade.

“We’re joining in!” Feng Wuji and the others snapped out of their shock. Witnessing Long Chen single-handedly slay two Golden Wing Heaven Devils filled them with both awe and resolve.

“There’s no need! Save your remaining power for reincarnation. Hidden Dragon Legion, it’s tto fight!” Long Chen bellowed, his voice like thunder, rallying his warriors to action.

Long Chen knew that Feng Wuji and the others still had a bit of power remaining. However, once it was used up, they would vanish forever. If they instead preserved that final bit of energy to dispel the eight trigram curse, they might have a chance at reincarnation.

Hearing Long Chen’s command, Tang Wan-er and her sisters immediately sprang into action.

“Kill!”

The Hidden Dragon warriors’ cries shook the heavens. Even knowing they were facing Devil Emperors of the primal chaos era, they were fearless.

Tang Wan-er summoned her manifestation, and her divine power erupted. The full moon in her manifestation quivered, concentrating its radiant light onto her blade. With a single strike, a Golden Wing Heaven Devil’s head exploded, splattering blood and black mist into the air.

Only after her attack landed did Tang Wan-er realize that these devils were greatly suppressed by the heavenly tribulation. Additionally, having just awakened, they were stiff and sluggish, far less fearsthan she had anticipated.

Seeing Tang Wan-er kill one Golden Wing Heaven Devil on her own, the Hidden Dragon warriors were filled with confidence. The eight divine retainers led eight groups against them.

Under this immense pressure, the Hidden Dragon warriors showed flawless cooperation and endured the first wave of attacks.

Watching them fight, Feng Wuji and the others were amazed.

“Sovereign Blood Seal—God Slaying Cross!” Long Chen shouted, slamming his palm onto the chest of a Golden Wing Heaven Devil.

Just then, Tang Wan-er’s attack fell, killing it.

“Leave this to us!” Tang Wan-er urged, noticing Long Chen’s pale, sweat-soaked face.

His breaths were ragged, and his spiritual fluctuations had grown chaotic, clear signs that he was nearing his limits.

Long Chen counted the remaining Golden Wing Heaven Devils—nine in total. Each of the eight divine retainers was leading a group against one, while the last was left for Tang Wan-er to handle. Given her strength, it shouldn’t be a problem.

The suprYang laws of the heavenly tribulation heavily suppressed these devils, stripping away the runes etched into their bodies. With every passing moment, their power diminished. Hence, the fact that the Hidden Dragon warriors had withstood the first wave of attacks meant victory was within reach.

Long Chen nodded. After telling Tang Wan-er to be careful, he quickly consumed a medicinal pill, circulating the primal chaos space’s energy to rapidly recover.

Long Chen’s confidence in challenging these devil creatures stemmed from his ultimate trump card—the Heaven Saint tribulation. If worst cto worst, he could unleash the tribulation as his decisive weapon.

Initially, Long Chen hadn’t planned to rely on the tribulation. He was confident in his own strength. However, he hadn’t anticipated that the blond man would have so many terrifying Golden Wing Heaven Devils hidden in reserve.

Fortunately, Long Chen had interrupted his plans. Had these devils fully revived, even Feng Wuji and the others wouldn’t have been able to handle them. If these creatures escaped the Wind Domain Battlefield, they would spell calamity for the human race.

Above them, the tribulation clouds trembled violently as countless lightning swords rained down, accompanied by ferocious lightning monsters that attacked indiscriminately.

Having experienced Long Chen’s tribulations before, the Hidden Dragon warriors were prepared. Furthermore, thanks to Long Chen feeding them sspecial rhino meat, their physical bodies were much stronger, and this level of heavenly tribulation couldn’t threaten them. In fact, the stronger the tribulation, the better it worked in their favor. The Golden Wing Heaven Devils’ runes were being stripped away at a rapid pace, weakening them further.

However, Feng Wuji and the others suffered the sfate, their auras growing fainter with each passing moment. Despite this, they remained calm and composed, even gratified.

Their gazes turned to Long Chen, who was now seated in the air, meditating. Evilmoon was no longer by his side because it was at a critical juncture as well.

Although Long Chen still looked pale and strained, he still exuded an invisible pressure.

Feng Wuji’s eyes flickered with a profound light as he stared at Long Chen. He muttered, “Perhaps the gamebreaker we’ve been waiting for so long has finally appeared in this era."
