Chapter 7101 Devil-Commanding Heavenly Palace

Divine light gushed out. Millions of divine runes condensed into a sword that shot towards Long Chen.

“A spiritual attack?”

Long Chen was slightly surprised. This was a spiritual attack containing law power. It made his soul shudder.

“Soul law—Soul-Extinguishing Curse!”

Long Chen’s own Spiritual Strength erupted. Violet light formed a giant vortex that devoured that sword. Then, the violet vortex exploded, and Long Chen grunted as sharp pain struck his soul. However, that spiritual sword was also destroyed by the curse. Even though Long Chen was injured, it wasn’t serious.

“A soul cultivator? No, you’re from the violet blood race!” The elder that had just appeared sounded a little surprised.

Long Chen eyed the large but illusory figure of the elder and the dark jade plate that hung on the neck of the man he was grabbing. He indifferently said, “No wonder this guy was so arrogant. He had a triple-manifestation Divine Sovereign pet and an item that could unleash a spiritual attack from a triple-manifestation Divine Sovereign as well.”

This guy truly had the capital to be arrogant. This spiritual attack would have been enough to wipe out the soul of anyone else in the same realm as him. Unfortunately, he had stumbled upon Long Chen.

The elder said, “Young friend, perhaps there were some misunderstandings here. I wonder if you could give me some face and spare my disciple? Please go ahead and state your conditions!”

Long Chen smiled mockingly. “The disciple truly does follow the footsteps of the master. If you had been this courteous before attacking, perhaps there would have been room to discuss it. But you first attack, and then when you’re blocked, you try to talk reason? Isn’t that a bit... excessive?”

The man’s final trump card had been used up. What was there to discuss?

The elder’s expression sank. He shouted, “Brat, I know you’re from the violet blood race, but so what?! Do you think the violet blood race can stay at the top in this era? Don’t be stupid! There are some factions that even the violet blood race cannot provoke!”

“Ah, is that so? Now that you say that, I really am curious just who it is that the violet blood race cannot afford to provoke!”

Long Chen sneered. Violet flames instantly enveloped the man.

“AAAAAHHHH!” He instantly let out a miserable shriek. His soul was being burned away!

“Stop! If you kill my disciple, the Devil-Commanding Heavenly Palace will not spare you!” roared the elder. But unfortunately, the treasure he used as a medium had expended all its energy, so he could not stop Long Chen.

Meanwhile, Long Chen ignored him. He did not pause the Soul-Refining Curse, and when he heard the elder’s threat, he started to laugh.

“The Devil-Commanding Heavenly Palace, you say? The one that had the power to control devils, but actually joined the outsider devils? Weren’t you destroyed for your betrayal?”

The Devil-Commanding Heavenly Palace was an infamous organization of the primal chaos era, and it was said that its members possessed the power to control all lifeforms with devil nature. Devil beasts could become their contractual beasts, and as they grew and broke through their bottlenecks, they would become terrifying existences.

Their experts could lead a squad of devil beasts, and a single person could take over a city. They were very powerful, and even in the primal chaos era, they were considered to be at the peak. Although they couldn’t compare to the overlords like the violet blood race, Jiuli race, and Heavenly Eye race, they were still among the most powerful forces of the human race.

However, unexpectedly, while they initially fought on the side of the nine heavens and ten lands, they later betrayed them, using their abilities to turn the outsider devils into native creatures. Had they not been discovered in time, the nine heavens and ten lands would have taken incalculable losses. It might have even led to the complete destruction of the nine heavens and ten lands.

Once they were exposed, the nine heavens and ten lands unleashed all their might to wipe out the Devil-Commanding Heavenly Palace. In the end, they were exterminated, or so it was thought. As it turned out, while they had vanished from this world, they had not been destroyed. They had been in hiding for countless years, and they felt that now was the time to make a comeback.

“AHH! Master, save me!” cried the man. He was utterly unable to endure the pain.

The elder gnashed his teeth and glared at Long Chen. “Brat, the violet blood race also attacked my Devil-Commanding Heavenly Palace back in the day! We will avenge all our debts, new and old! Just you wait!”

The elder’s Spiritual Strength was exhausted after saying that, and his figure faded. Once he was gone, Long Chen couldn’t bother continuing to torture the man. He switched to the Soul-Devouring Curse and instantly killed him.

He then returned to the divine capital and told Zi Yan, Shen Qingxue, and the others what had happened.

None of them had heard of the Devil-Commanding Heavenly Palace. But when they heard that they were traitors of the nine heavens and ten lands, they were all outraged. Shen Qingxue in particular was furious. Traitorous snakes that had backstabbed the nine heavens and ten lands dared to come out and say that they would exact vengeance on the violet blood race? That was utterly absurd.

Long Chen also told them what information he had gained from his soulsearch of that man.

This young man’s name was Wu Yang. He could be considered a descendant of the main bloodline of the Devil-Commanding Heavenly Palace, and he had quite good talent when it came to controlling devils. These people were a kind of soul cultivators, and their abilities were just like Meng Qi’s to an extent. However, the Devil-Commanding Heavenly Palace could only control creatures with devil nature. They could help these creatures grow, activate their ancestral bloodlines, and break through their bottlenecks.

Due to this, the outsider devils took special note of their abilities. They managed to get the Devil-Commanding Heavenly Palace on their side, and through them, they quickly got accustomed to the laws of the nine heavens and ten lands. The rejection of the Heavenly Daos was no longer as powerful. Thus, the betrayal of the Devil-Commanding Heavenly Palace had arguably accelerated the invasion of the outsider devils to a great extent. They had played a large part in the deaths of countless lifeforms of the nine heavens and ten lands.

Long Chen also learned that the Devil-Commanding Heavenly Palace had yet to truly come out of hiding. They were in the midst of planning something with the outsider devils as well as the native devils of the nine heavens and ten lands. But Wu Yang had been out on a mission when he heard of Long Chen’s name and his title as number one figure of the nine heavens. He felt jealous and contemptuous at the same time. As a result, he came to test Long Chen’s power. If he could kill him, he would seize the title of the number one figure of the nine heavens.

The elder was his master, an Elder with high authority in the Devil-Commanding Heavenly Palace. The triple-manifestation Divine Sovereign battle pet was also something Wu Yang’s master had given him before sending him out on a mission.

With such trump cards, Wu Yang had become conceited. He wanted to find an expert to test himself against. In that sense, he was indeed lucky; the very first person he tried to test himself against turned out to be a real expert.

The unfortunate thing was that the Devil-Commanding Heavenly Palace’s experts were all soul cultivators; the seals on their souls were leagues above everyone else. If they knew they were in danger, their souls automatically locked down and erased their central secrets. Thus, even with Long Chen’s new and improved soulsearch, he hadn’t found anything particularly valuable. He was unable to find out what Wu Yang’s mission had been or where the headquarters was.

Suddenly, the divine capital’s grand formation lit up once more. Divine might raged once more.

Long Chen’s jaw dropped. What was going on today? Could it be that someone else had also come to be killed?

However, when they sensed the newcomer’s aura, the Full Moon Sect’s experts let out cheers.

“The sect master has come out of seclusion!”
