Long Chen couldn't believe his eyes when the figure emerged from the blood pool and appeared in front of him. The shock he felt was even greater than when he saw Long Qinglan's name on the tombstone. Even Li Xuanji, who had fused with his body, was stunned for a moment, let alone him.
"Father …"
Long Chen couldn't help but exclaim softly.
The man had completely emerged from the pool of blood. His long hair was blood-red, and his eyes were red. His expression was cold and terrifying. His body exuded a frightening aura that suppressed everything. His hair was messy, and he was like a demon that had descended to the world.
Such a scene was shocking to the soul.
But when he heard Long Chen say that word, the man's eyes immediately locked on Long Chen. His eyes were very cold, but in the blink of an eye, there was a huge change. He revealed a warm smile and restored the image of that man in Long Chen's heart. Even his long blood-red hair didn't seem to be an eyesore anymore.
"So you're the one who let me out …"
The man smiled as he looked at Long Chen. Step by step, he approached Long Chen, revealing a smile that made people feel as if they were bathing in the spring breeze. Wherever he swept past, the blood pool would gently ripple. He clasped his hands behind his back and very quickly arrived in front of Long Chen.
"Child."
The man asked tentatively.
Long Chen didn't know why. After leaving the Chaos Astral Field, he had felt a lot of bitterness when he saw him again. Many people had doubted him, but when he saw this person, all of that vanished like smoke in thin air.
But he was still confused. He subconsciously thought that this was Long Qinglan, so he didn't take any precautions. Ever since he saw Long Qinglan's name on the tombstone, he had been very shaken and lost the ability to think normally. He couldn't calm down, and when he saw Long Qinglan, his mind was in a daze.
"It's me …"
Long Chen almost burst into tears.
Everyone had special feelings for the role of father, and Long Chen was no exception, especially when everything about him was under Long Qinglan's control.
But Li Xuanji felt strange.
This wasn't the Long Qinglan she had imagined.
Therefore, she reminded Long Chen, "Are you sure he's your father? If he is, how could he be sealed here? Moreover, this kind of seal can even be broken by you, so it shouldn't be too strong. How could this kind of seal trap your father? Moreover, if the Slaughter Dragon City really wanted to imprison your father, it would be strictly guarded. How could they let you come here?"
She analyzed the situation based on facts.
"Yes."
After hearing what Li Xuanji said, Long Chen woke up with a start. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He was too immersed in missing his father, so his mind was blank at this moment. Otherwise, if Li Xuanji could figure it out, he would definitely be able to figure it out.
But it was too late.
The crimson-haired man in front of him suddenly laughed out loud.
"It's too late, Divine Dragon, my food."
All of a sudden, a large amount of blood sprayed out of his body.
In the blink of an eye, an incomparably huge beast appeared in front of Long Chen. It was a huge beast that looked like a lump of meat. It had a huge mouth that occupied half of its body. Its body was full of bumps and hollows, and there were countless blood-red lumps all over its body. It was extremely ugly, and its smell was nauseating. Such a huge beast hovered above the blood pool, its muscles wriggling, causing one's scalp to go numb.
At this moment, a terrifying and fatal attraction acted on Long Chen. Just as Long Chen raised his head, the huge mouth had already opened. It was so huge that it felt like the entire world had collapsed, and the mouth had already covered Long Chen.
"Dragon-Devouring Beast."
Long Chen saw its true appearance immediately.
It was a Dragon-Devouring Beast.
The Desolation Emperor was a Dragon Devouring Beast, and he had encountered a Dragon Devouring Beast in the War God Tomb, but Long Chen had killed it instantly. However, the Dragon Devouring Beast in front of him was definitely much stronger and more terrifying than the one he had encountered before. It was very likely that Long Qinglan had sealed it here.
"So you are that person's son. This is retribution. After sealing me here for so long, you actually barged in today and even let me out."
The Dragon-Devouring Beast laughed savagely.
Dragon-Devouring Beasts were the natural enemies of mystical dragons. Legend had it that they were not considered strong in the Era of Mystical Dragons, and only dared to secretly eat young dragons. If they met a truly strong mystical dragon, they would not be able to fight back at all. Now, it seemed that this was not the case. The Dragon-Devouring Beast was like the Heaven Blood Hell, a member of the Sky Swallowing Clan.
Their strength was far beyond Long Chen's imagination.
Back then, the Desolation Emperor had brought Long Chen great danger. This time, it was the same for the Dragon-Devouring Beast. Its devouring was a nightmare for any mystical dragon.
The other had used Long Qinglan's appearance to get close to him, gain his trust, and suddenly attacked. When it opened its mouth, it had already swallowed Long Chen into its stomach. To Long Chen, the other's stomach was as huge as the stars. He hurriedly transformed into the Ancient Blood Spirit Dragon and started attacking fiercely.
This was his only chance to fight back.
The other was obviously a very terrifying Dragon-Devouring Beast, which was why it had been sealed here. If he lost, he would definitely die. And if he let him out, it would implicate others.
After transforming into a mystical dragon, his body expanded.
"Little guy, don't waste your efforts. We Dragon-Devouring Beasts are the nightmare of mystical dragons. You cannot stop our devouring. We are your natural enemies."
The Dragon-Devouring Beast laughed.
"Bullsh * t. You are the Sky Swallowing Clan."
Long Chen knew that this Dragon-Devouring Beast definitely knew many things that he did not know.
"Oh, you even know about this? But I won't tell you the truth, because the truth is much more complicated than you can imagine. I heard that your father is dead, right? There are a lot of secrets in this. I guess you definitely want to know, but you're about to become nourishment for me to recover my strength, so forget it. Haha …"
The Dragon-Devouring Beast had been sealed for so long.
It must be very hungry.
So when it swallowed Long Chen, it could not wait to digest him.
"Phantasm Beasts."
As expected, in the blink of an eye, Long Chen was surrounded by countless phantoms and beasts. There were millions of phantoms and beasts. Compared to the phantoms and beasts in the Desolation Emperor's body, there were tens of thousands of them. Each of the phantoms and beasts was the size of a human. When they got close to Long Chen, they transformed into the faces of the people around Long Chen and let out countless smiles.
Long Qinglan, Yang Xueqing, Lingxi, Li Xuanji, Mo Xiaolang, Kitten, and so on. Everyone that Long Chen had met and remembered appeared here.
"Enjoy the pleasure of being digested."
The Dragon-Devouring Beast's voice could not be heard.
"Damn it."
At this moment, countless Phantasm Beasts swarmed towards Long Chen. Long Chen, in his Ancient Blood Spirit Dragon form, rushed forward.
"Blood Sobbing Dragon Souls."
Millions of Blood Sobbing Dragon Souls burst out and the slaughter dragons flew out. Long Chen did not dare to show any mercy and used a killing move right from the start. But he did not expect the illusion formed by millions of Blood Sobbing Dragon Souls to be so terrifying. When they were activated together, Long Chen could hear countless cries reverberating in his mind.
"Long Chen, give me back my life. You killed me and stole my Lingxi. You deserve to be cut into pieces."
Wang Chen became extremely powerful. His Void Refinement Realm demonic dragon body was ten times bigger than Long Chen's. He pinned Long Chen down and bit him to his heart's content. Long Chen felt terrible pain.
"Long Chen, do you see this? I killed all the people from your three Emperor Regions to nourish my demonic tree."
The City Lord of the Wronged laughed.
Long Chen looked at this scene that made his eyes almost pop out of their sockets.
The people around him died one by one.
In the end, even Lingxi and Li Xuanji were not spared.
Mo Xiaolang even became an accomplice, killing all the people in his body until no one was left.
"This is an illusion. This is an illusion."
Long Chen bit down on himself. He knew that everything was fake. He wanted to fight, even though his opponent was terrifying. His Primordial Spirit was strong. Under the roar of the Void Cosmic Dragon, he broke through the layers of illusions and returned to the belly of the Dragon Devouring Beast.
Boom.
When the millions of Blood Sobbing Dragon Souls lost control, they were completely digested by the Dragon Devouring Beast. Long Chen found himself in the belly of the Dragon Devouring Beast. He was surrounded by raging rivers, which were the terrifying digestive juices of the Dragon Devouring Beast.
Under the digestive juices, the slaughter dragons were all melted. No matter how much they struggled, it was useless.
"Thank you for giving me so many snacks. Now, it's time to enjoy the feast."
Around him, the mouths of the people around Long Chen moved in unison. They said the same thing in a very strange manner.
They laughed loudly. Just the laughter alone caused a huge shock to Long Chen.
"This damn thing."
The Dragon Devouring Beast was a mortal enemy. At this critical moment, Long Chen was like a trapped beast. When the Phantom Beasts attacked again, Long Chen completely turned incorporeal.
"Time Storm."
The Time Storm was unleashed, causing a terrifying tremor in time. Suddenly, a large number of phantasmal beasts were annihilated by the Time Storm.
But there were too many of them, and they were endless. There was no way to resist.
When Long Chen used the Time Storm, even more Phantom Beasts attacked, letting out shocking roars. Those terrifying sounds affected Long Chen, causing countless raging rivers. That was the most terrifying digestive juices of the Dragon Devouring Beast.
When the digestive fluid splashed onto his body, Long Chen immediately felt a bone-piercing pain, as if his entire body was being burned by flames. He opened his eyes and discovered that he was in an endless sea of fire. Although he was in the form of a dragon, his body was extremely small.
"This is."
Long Chen couldn't help but blur.
What was he doing?
