Chapter 1544 The Bloodline
Baihu Yang informed all the God Beasts about Long Chen being possessed before the Black Tortoise King could even speak anything.
He could see that things were looking quite ominous for Long Chen. Even if he killed the White Tiger King when he was possessed by someone else, it wasn't going to matter much for these people since, in any case, Long Chen was a threat to them.
Long Chen had killed one of the God Beasts, and they weren't going to let him live anymore. They couldn't just destroy the spirit inside Long Chen while letting him live.
Moreover, even if they could, they weren't going to make that much effort simply for a stranger like Long Chen.
The Black Tortoise King wanted to save Long Chen without harming him since he was a friend of Zhu Chang, but that was before everyone else came here.
Now that the others were here, he couldn't do anything but watch Long Chen be killed right before his eyes. Especially since the Rainbow Phoenix was also here, accompanying the Phoenixes.
It was evident to him that the Rainbow Phoenix had been staying with the Phoenixes while they were all looking for the Ancestral Beasts. The Phoenixes had already crossed the finishing lines, while the others had no idea.
The Rainbow Phoenix heard about Long Chen being possessed, but for some reason, it was really hard for her to believe it. Long Chen was someone who wasn't an ordinary person. His body was a mystery, even for her. That person was able to establish a contract with the Ancient Myriad Beast.
She thought that was his biggest achievement, but when she tried to peek into his consciousness after putting him to sleep, she realized that there was some kind of ancient lock in his consciousness protecting it from her. Just as she was about to open the lock, something happened, and she was forced out.
She thought that Long Chen had died in that, but he was here. That meant he somehow managed to leave her cell even though she had sealed the space. The contracting of an Ancient Beast, the lock, and the Teleportation... It all signaled toward something really complicated.
A person who had his consciousness protected like that, how could his body be possessed by a Spirit? A spirit that was able to do that... Just who could it belong to?
She flew down, landing around twenty meters away from Long Chen. The Phoenix Queen also landed right behind her. All the other God Beasts also landed nearby, surrounding Long Chen. Generally, all of them would've attacked him already since he needed to die, but they all waited for the Rainbow Phoenix to begin first.
Not only was she the oldest, but she was also the strongest here.
"They look like they won't let you leave here alive. I'm asking you one final time. Shall I help you? You know, I'm quite free at the moment. You just need to ask," the Demonic Emperor asked Long Chen.
"No need. Just remember what I told you..."
"Yeah, yeah, I know. Don't worry; I'll protect you from the spells that can put you to sleep. And while we're at it, I'll also cast my Domain to help you. But other than that, you won't get any help until you aren't defeated. Once you are defeated, then I'll take over again."
The Demonic Emperor found it quite easy to help Long Chen in this situation, but he let the young man deal with the problems. In fact, he was slightly happy that Long Chen wasn't backing off and facing his Challenges himself, even when he was surrounded by so many powerful beings.
This was the kind of self confidence that he wanted from his disciple. If he weren't sharing the same body with Long Chen, he really would've patted the shoulders of the young man.
The Demonic Emperor gestured for the Demon Princess to leave. "Little girl, I should advise you to get back. Let your senior have fun."
The Demon Princess nodded. She took the advice and slowly started retreating as she knew this wasn't the right place for her to be at. The field was covered by the strongest beings on earth, and even one stray attack could hurt her seriously.
She stepped back and soon left, joining the group in the distance.
Zhu Chang was standing still. Even though he was Long Chen's friend, he didn't know how to help him. All the God Beast Kings were here. If he tried to chime in, it could only make things worse for his father.
He was really hoping that the two sides weren't going to fight. Fortunately, the battle hadn't started yet, but it was only a matter of time.
"Screw them. They think they can bully my friend?" The Snake Monarch was much wilder than Zhu Chang. "They might be God Beasts, but this Monarch is their father!"
Unlike Zhu Chang, the Snake Monarch actually flew to the battlefield.
"Stop right there!" He yelled as he flew toward Long Chen.
Long Chen heard the call of the Snake Monarch, which made his face twitch. He was really prepared for a serious battle, and there came the Snake Monarch.
He facepalmed himself before looking back. "Stay Back, you idiot! Let me handle this myself!"
"Nonsense! These kids think they can bully you? In their dreams!" Snake Monarch didn't stop. He flew past the Black Tortoise Patriarch and stopped right beside Long Chen.
Even though his Bloodline felt suppression here, he still glared right in the eyes of the Rainbow Phoenix.
"Who are you?" The Phoenix asked, looking weirdly at the Snake Monarch. The Snake wasn't even strong enough to be registered by them, let alone someone who could stop them.
The Snake Monarch heard the question and started laughing proudly.
Hearing that laughter, Long Chen rolled his eyes. "She just had to ask."
"Who am I? Who is this Emperor? Little Girl, do you not recognize the charming Shake Monarch, who is the heartthrob of billions of ladies in this universe?" The Snake Monarch asked.
Meanwhile, Long Chen let out a sigh. Even though Long Chen was frustrated to some extent, the Demonic Emperor was amused.
"Your contracted beast is definitely interesting. However, I can see that you've been wasting his potential. His Bloodline is still sealed, isn't it?" He asked Long Chen.
"Yeah, his Bloodline is sealed. Even I know that, but I need phoenix blood to unseal his Bloodline. Wait a minute! Phoenix Blood!"
It was only when Long Chen answered that he remembered that he actually had the Phoenix Blood! When he fought the Rainbow Phoenix and the Little Phoenix inside the Ancestral Temple, he had gathered some of their blood for the future to unlock Snake Monarch'S Bloodline. He had completely forgotten about that!
