"Three-headed Hell Snake."
The Three-headed Hell Snake was incomparably huge. More than half of its body was still in the Nether Blood River. Its thick body was split into three forks, forming three huge snake heads with different appearances. At this time, the snake heads towered high in the sky, at least a hundred meters high.
At that moment, when the three pairs of grey eyes saw Long Chen, a tiny creature, they immediately became ferocious. Without saying anything, the three gigantic snake heads rushed towards Long Chen at lightning speed.
The Three-headed Hell Snake had seen many people dressed like Long Chen. They were all wearing Hell Armor. In the past countless years, the Three-headed Hell Snake had killed countless people like that. Those people had also killed countless other Hell Beasts. That hatred had been engraved in their souls from generation to generation. Therefore, without saying anything, the Three-headed Hell Snake attacked Long Chen.
Just an hour ago, it had swallowed a martial artist into its stomach.
That Three-headed Hell Snake was a level eight Emperor level beast. Long Chen could barely handle it.
His goal this time was mostly to reach the eighth Emperor level or to reach the eighth Tian Qi layer. When his strength rose to the next level, he would consider the ninth Tian Qi layer or even higher. At that moment, Long Chen could only rely on the little golden lightning beast to kill cultivators of the ninth Tian Qi layer.
The three heads of the Three-headed Hell Snake covered the sky and the sun. A thick stench was emitting from its mouth. On its three gigantic mouths, there was a green mucus. Three dark green tongues stretched out and swept towards Long Chen. On those tongues, there was a saw-like sharp blade.
Long Chen had used up all his Imperial Crystals so he could only let the little golden lightning beast rest. When Long Chen encountered the Netherworld Army, he would steal other people's Imperial Crystals to feed the little golden lightning beast.
Actually, the battle against the nether beast was of no help to Long Chen's comprehension of the Tian Qi layer. However, there was a large amount of blood on the nether beast's corpse. Long Chen could store that blood so that when he ran out of pure Qi, he could use Qi Refinement to quickly recover his pure Qi.
In any case, the Nether Beasts in the Nether Battlefield were inexhaustible. There was no way to kill them all.
Although he couldn't use the Golden Thunder Beast, during this period of time, the Golden Thunder Beast had brought great benefits to Long Chen. This Golden Thunder Beast was called Soul-Chasing Hell Lightning. Just by hearing this name, one would know that its speed was first-class. After being tempered by this Golden Thunder Beast, Long Chen's body had become even more tenacious. Especially in terms of speed, it had far surpassed experts of the same level.
Hu.
Streaks of golden lightning danced beneath Long Chen's feet. When the Three-headed Hell Serpent was about to attack, Long Chen suddenly turned into a bolt of golden lightning and disappeared in front of the Three-headed Hell Serpent.
This made the Three-headed Hell Serpent confused. How could a person disappear like that?
Then, it felt a fatal sense of danger.
"Human Emperor Technique, Sovereign Descends."
Silently, Long Chen stood on top of one of the Three-headed Hell Serpent's ugly heads. He stepped on its ugly scales and punched. Immediately, blood and flesh flew everywhere. The other two heads let out earth-shattering screams.
The insides of the snake's head in front of them had been crushed by Long Chen. This meant that one of the heads of the Three-headed Hell Serpent had been destroyed by Long Chen. The huge head of the Hell Serpent fell down softly into the water, creating a blood-red splash.
The other two heads were incomparably furious. One in front and one behind, they attacked Long Chen. The nether beast was also a kind of monster beast. Generally speaking, the strength of a monster beast's body was far beyond that of a human's.
Hu.
Two clouds of black smoke, full of corrosive power, came out of the Three-headed Hell Serpent's mouth.
"You want to injure me with that kind of speed?"
Said Long Chen while smiling. The lightning under his feet moved quickly. His speed was even faster than that of an ordinary cultivator of the ninth Tian Qi layer. At that moment, the golden lightning danced and he disappeared in front of the Three-headed Hell Serpent again. He dodged one of the attacks and in a flash, he appeared behind the other head of the Three-headed Hell Serpent.
With one more attack, Long Chen destroyed the other head of the Three-headed Hell Serpent.
At that moment, the Three-headed Hell Serpent was finally terrified. The Nether Blood River was rolling rapidly. Its huge body was about to dive into the water. In a flash, it had almost reached the bottom of the water.
"You want to leave?"
Long Chen turned into a golden thread. The Three-headed Hell Serpent's speed was not as fast as Long Chen's. When it was about to enter the water, Long Chen punched again and directly destroyed its last head.
Boom.
The Three-headed Hell Serpent was dead. Its huge body immediately collapsed.
"Devouring Blood World."
Under the effect of the Devouring Blood World, the Three-headed Hell Serpent's essence and blood, the most important part, was absorbed by Long Chen's Devouring Blood World and condensed into a huge ball of blood. It was stored in the Great Void World in case of emergency.
As for the Three-headed Hell Snake's corpse, it turned into an extremely shriveled corpse and fell into the Unholy Blood River. Many weak underworld beasts immediately swarmed over and tore at the Three-headed Hell Snake's bloodless, shriveled corpse.
In Long Chen's hand, there were three grey crystals. On the crystals, there was a Three-headed Hell Serpent's silhouette moving.
"This is the nucleus of the Hell Beast. If I give this nucleus to the Battle Merit Hall, my battle achievements will increase. With enough battle achievements, as long as I am strong enough, I will be able to rise in the ranks of the Netherworld Army. If possible, I will become an Underworld General or Underworld Commander, that would be good."
After killing the Three-headed Hell Serpent, Long Chen was in a very good mood.
That was the beginning of his battle in the Netherworld Battlefield.
"Don't hide anymore, come out."
After putting away the Three-headed Hell Serpent's belongings, Long Chen suddenly said.
Behind him, in the rugged mountainous area, there was a huge rock. Long Chen's Spirit Devouring Demon Eyes could easily see that there was a person hiding behind the rock.
"Your perception is quite sharp."
The person who came out was a middle-aged man. He was tall and sturdy, taller than Long Chen by a head. He was wearing a Netherworld Battle Armor that was obviously better than Long Chen's. After seeing Long Chen, he smiled and quickly walked towards Long Chen.
"Which battalion are you from? I am a centurion of the Bear Brutal Battalion. I was fortunate enough to see your battle just now. It was really not bad, especially the way you collected the beast blood at the end. It was simply unimaginable."
The smile on his face was very warm, it seemed like he was sincere. The Bear Brutal Battalion was indeed a battalion of a thousand people. Its position was not far from the Wild Wolf Battalion.
However, Long Chen did not say anything.
Being a centurion meant that he was in the ninth layer of the Tian Qi layer.
"What? Are you afraid of me so you are on guard against me?" The centurion stopped and looked at Long Chen with a wry smile.
"The most important thing in the Netherworld Battlefield is training. There is no enmity between us so we won't suddenly fight to the death. We are just comparing notes and improving our cultivation. The Netherworld Beasts are our real opponents. It should be your first time in the Netherworld Battlefield so you don't know. My name is Tao Feng. You should be quite young so you can just call me brother Tao. We have a few brothers in the Netherworld Battlefield and formed a group to train. I see that you are quite talented, are you interested in joining us?"
While saying that, Tao Feng approached Long Chen.
"Sorry, I am not interested in joining a group. I am used to being alone."
Long Chen still did not let down his guard. He was not an idiot. He knew that in the Netherworld Battlefield, he could not easily trust others.
"Not joining? Fine, then forget about it. But don't forget that in the Netherworld Battlefield, without the cultivation of a centurion, you basically have no ability to protect yourself." Tao Feng was still unwilling to give up. At that moment, the distance between him and Long Chen was only about ten meters.
"Stop!" said Long Chen indifferently.
With a distance of ten meters, if Tao Feng wanted to launch a sneak attack, it would be very easy.
When Long Chen said stop, an ominous glint suddenly flashed in Tao Feng's eyes. With a whoosh, he charged towards Long Chen. As expected, he had attacked.
"Hand over your Netherworld Core or I will take your life."
Tao Feng's true objective was the Netherworld Core that Long Chen had just obtained. Saying that he wanted to recruit Long Chen was just a lie to deceive Long Chen. However, Long Chen did not fall for it.
As they advanced, Tao Feng took out a flaming saber from his storage ring. Within the flames, there seemed to be a ferocious beast roaring furiously.
"Scarlet Fire Demon Blade, a first-grade divine weapon. Can you take it?"
The flaming Scarlet Fire Demon Blade instantly chopped towards Long Chen. The soaring flames instantly burned in front of Long Chen. It looked like the Scarlet Fire Demon Blade was about to split Long Chen in half.
Dang!
An ear-piercing friction sound filled the air. Tao Feng was stupefied because he saw Long Chen stretch out his hands and grab the Scarlet Fire Demon Blade. When he looked closely, he discovered that Long Chen was wearing a pair of gloves which were surprisingly also divine weapons.
"Good stuff. You can even block my first-grade divine weapon, the Scarlet Fire Demon Blade. It seems like you still have many treasures." Tao Feng looked like he had found a treasure as he charged towards Long Chen.
Long Chen's eyes lit up, including the True Martial Emperor's Soul in the middle.
"You are a good sparring partner."
While facing his opponent's storm-like attacks, Long Chen had a slight smile on his face. Golden lightning was circulating around his body. Long Chen's speed, agility, etc. When he moved, he looked like a bolt of lightning. Even Tao Feng, a cultivator of the ninth Tian Qi layer, was unexpectedly inferior to him.
In terms of speed, Long Chen had an absolute advantage.
"Let me fight with you for three days and three nights. Then I will steal your martial comprehension."
The True Martial Emperor's Soul was fully activated.
