Chapter 1550 Chapter 1550: Part of Scheme
The Demon Emperor continued harvesting the God Core of the Dragon King without a break. Moreover, thanks to the additional time he received after Teleportation, he finished that in no time.
The second God Core was harvested by Long Chen as well, giving him an even more boost. A second God star in the sky turned blood red right before the God Beasts' eyes as soon as the second core was absorbed.
Finally, all the God Beasts understand what that red star meant. It didn't just mean that a God King had been killed. Instead, it meant that an entire God Beast Lineage was removed, and it went to a human instead.
What was just as surprising for them was that Long Chen had managed to kill the Dragon King while surviving his flames. Not only did he survive the flames, but he also looked to be completely unharmed. There was not even a single burn mark on his body. Even his clothes appeared to be fine other than the blood on them.
"Is he really a human? How can he survive that flame?"
"You're wondering about Flames? Think about his body! How is he still alive after absorbing two Cores of King Beasts? As a human, it should've been impossible for him."
"He isn't an ordinary human for sure."
Even the God Beast Kings who were here were surprised to see another one of them being killed. Even though they could see that Long Chen hadn't defeated them with a proper attack from the front but what he didn't wasn't any less surprising either.
The Dragon King was one of the best among them. Initially, they also wanted to try fighting Long Chen, but they had changed their mind now, leaving the Rainbow Phoenix to deal with him since she was the perfect person for that task.
The Rainbow Phoenix stopped in the distance, looking back at Long Chen, who had succeeded in absorbing another core right under her nose.
"A cowardly demon, I see!" She mockingly exclaimed, trying to taunt the Demon Emperor.
It also appeared to work partially, as the Demon Emperor was starting to get angry. A measly beast dared to call him a coward? If he hadn't promised Long Chen that he was going to let him deal with this, he would've ripped her to shreds.
He was really controlling himself.
"That's enough!" A shout came from the distance. "Who dares call our Ancestor a coward!"
The powerful voice came with a terrifying aura accompanying it which wasn't less than the aura of any of the God Beast.
The God Beasts looked to the source of that aura. Even Long Chen looked there, noticing a dark-haired man.
The man appeared to be in his late thirties. He had pitch black eyes of a demon, which gave away his identity. The Demon Princess was standing behind the man.
"The current Demon King?" Long Chen muttered, taking a guess.
"Huh, weaker than I expected... How far have we fallen..." The Demon Emperor let out, noticing his descendant who was leading the Demons now.
His reaction was also very peculiar, but Long Chen understood where he was coming from. The Demon Emperor was just too strong. The God Beast Kings were like children before him, as he proved when he killed the White Tiger King like an insect.
The Demon King was also on the same level as God Beast Kings, so it was understandable why he was called weak.
"Though I must say, he does have some courage."
Even though the Demon Emperor didn't find the man's strength worth praise, he did praise his courage since the man was standing before so many God Beast Kings without a shred of fear.
He wasn't much stronger than the God Beast Kings, let alone the Rainbow Phoenix, but his strength wasn't all there was to him. Despite standing before so many enemies, the man didn't look scared.
When his daughter left on the mission to capture or kill Long Chen, he had given his daughter a beautiful gem that she could use to call them in case they were in danger. It was only now that his daughter used the Crystal and that also to call her father here to help their ancestor.
She knew that their ancestor didn't need any help from the looks of it. He wasn't even serious about this battle, taking everything lightly, but she still called him for one reason only.
There was no way their ancestor was going to let her father fight a battle that he couldn't lose, so there was no danger. Even if there was some danger, their ancestor could easily help them.
Through her cunning mind, she realized that there was no risk in calling her father here, especially no risk to his life. If anything, there were only benefits since it was only going to prove to their ancestor that they were willing to fight to the death to protect his honor, which was the best part.
It was a smart plan as well. As soon as her father came here with his army, she told him everything as fast as she could. Ever since then, her father was waiting for the right opportunity to intervene without looking like he was interfering in a battle that he shouldn't. And the disrespect of Long Chen gave him the opportunity that he was looking for.
"Demon King, are you a part of this Scheme as well?" The Ice Phoenix Queen asked the Demon King. Until now, they thought that it was just a coincidence that Long Chen was l possessed by a demon, but if the Demon Empire was behind it, it made more sense in this situation.
The Demon King didn't answer. He just flew closer to Long Chen, landing right before him and going down on one knee.
"Greetings to the Great Ancestor." The Demon King didn't even need to be suspicious of Long Chen's identity since the aura of their ancestor couldn't be falsified. He also knew who he was! One of the greatest demons!"
