Chapter 6095 Reunion

Chapter 6095 Reunion

“Not bad!” Evilmoon cried out in excitement. “I was worried when we first entered, but it turns out there’s actually some meat in this godforsaken place!”

Evilmoon had a healthy appetite—it craved the essence blood of every living being. To its delight, the essence blood of these devil bats was of surprisingly high quality, nearly on par with Divine Emperors.

The only thing they lacked was Spiritual Strength, which also meant they didn’t have much in their brains.

Billions of dragon scales flew through the air, annihilating the devil bats quickly.

Long Chen sighed inside. Evilmoon was truly powerful. After it had awakened its second state, its dragon scale formation became the perfect weapon for large-scale slaughter.

It was like commanding an army of ten billion warriors who grew stronger with each foe they felled. Even double-body Sovereign Lords were insignificant now—let alone these Human Emperor-ranked devil bats.

The dragon scales vanished, leaving behind only wrecked bodies on the ground to mark the massacre.

“Evilmoon, why do your scales look more and more like flower petals? Are you turning feminine?” Long Chen asked, raising a brow.

What had once been ferocious and domineering now fluttered with a strange grace, resembling countless flower petals dancing in the wind. The shift in style was... jarring. Long Chen wasn’t quite used to it.

Evilmoon snorted. “Tch, what do you know? My first state was all brute force, but the second state balances that force with softness. I’m still in the early stage. Soon, the scales will truly evolve into flower petals. Hehe... when that happens, you’ll be unmatched. Every other man will seem dull in comparison, and who knows how many women will want to bear your babies...”

Evilmoon’s voice took a dark, wicked turn at the end, causing Long Chen to shudder. The image of him surrounded by swirling petals made his scalp tingle.

“Nope, I’m out!” declared Long Chen.

“Tch, once you know how strong my second state is, you’ll be begging for it,” Evilmoon muttered with supreme confidence.

Long Chen ignored it and moved on.

...

Dust and sand billowed in the lifeless air. A sense of despair hung over the ruins of an ancient city. Amidst the crumbling walls stood a woman in her thirties—beautiful, but worn down weariness.

She gazed at the distant haze, where mirage-like figures flickered in and out of view.

“Why bother? You could’ve stayed with Chen-er outside, watching him grow up and live a peaceful life,” she murmured.

This ancient city had eroded, its formation runes long gone. Most of the buildings here had collapsed. Beneath the ground, some auras flickered in and out of existence, coming from the inhabitants hiding underground.

Long Zhantian stood beside this woman. Though still handsome, he too looked weary. He had fought countless battles to keep this last sanctuary standing.

If it weren’t for him, this city would have collapsed under the attacks of the devil creatures. But with his cultivation base stripped, he was just like everyone here. He couldn’t recover his energy, and every battle left him weaker than before.

Long Zhantian grabbed the woman’s hand and smiled.

He said, “Don’t worry, as long as we persevere a bit longer, Chen-er will come.”

This woman was Long Chen’s biological mother, Luo Ningshuang. She bit her lip and shook her head.

“That bladeseer told me if I stayed here, our family would reunite. I believed him... but now I wish I hadn’t. This reunion is too cruel.”

A single tear rolled down her cheek.

She longed to see her son, but more than that, she feared seeing him.

This place was a hopeless land with no chance of escape. If Long Chen came, he would simply die alongside them.

During the primal chaos war, the Lei family had been forced into the Whale Necropolis—a vast, resource-rich realm filled with spiritual qi. At first, it had been a paradise.

But over time, devil creatures started to appear in different parts of the necropolis. Strange laws also restricted the Lei family’s movement across the realm, preventing them from attacking the devils at their source. All they could do was defend and retreat.

The resources had sustained the Lei family for a while. After refining the resources, they fortified their defenses and fought bravely to protect their bloodline.

But by this era, the resources had run dry. The devils multiplied endlessly, growing stronger with each passing year.

The Lei family’s defenses were forced back. In the end, they retreated all the way to this fallen city. Their numbers had shrunk from billions to under a million.

Rumble...

When the surrounding space shuddered, Long Zhantian’s heart shook.

Another attack.

Just then, numerous elderly figures appeared. Thousands of peak Human Emperor elders stepped forward, covered in blood-colored runes.

At this sight, Long Zhantian’s face darkened, and Luo Ningshuang bit her lip to stop herself from crying.

This was the Lei family’s final formation—their unity. In battles where survival seemed impossible, the elders would detonate their core runes, sacrificing themselves to take as many enemies as they could.

This was all they could do to lighten the pressure on their children.

Back then, when all had seemed lost, Luo Ningshuang had arrived. She gave the Lei family new hope.

However, this hope didn’t last for long. As more devil creatures appeared, they were pushed to the brink of collapse again. Then, Long Zhantian appeared.

Even so, they were still hanging on by a thread.

Long Zhantian had called for reinforcements from the violet blood race, but they were slain by the endless devil creatures. The devils consumed everything: people, resources, and even spiritual essence.

At this moment, devil creatures surged from all directions.

In response, the elders soared into the sky.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Thunderous explosions rocked the battlefield as blood flowers bloomed and faded. Many devil creatures were wiped out of existence.

“Kill!”

Long Zhantian and Luo Ningshuang charged into battle. The Jewel Blood Devil and Ice Frost Spirit Dragon followed.

The once indomitable Jewel Blood Devil had been suppressed to the Human Emperor realm, its body covered in wounds.

The Lei family’s experts also charged out. Because they didn’t have any weapons, they relied purely on their bare hands to fight the devil creatures. They were incredibly fierce.

Despite both sides being in the Human Emperor realm, they slaughtered the devil creatures.

At this moment, gigantic bats appeared amongst the devil creatures. They were over three meters tall and possessed the aura of Divine Emperors.

Shockingly, Hundreds of Divine Emperor devil creatures had arrived.

“Careful!” Long Zhantian shouted.

He and Luo Ningshuang exchanged a look. Only the two of them could face such threats. But their energy was nearly gone.

They had to kill the leaders of the devils quickly to reduce the casualties.

However, with no way to replenish their strength, this might be their last fight. They gave each other one last look and charged forward.

Long Zhantian summoned a seven-colored sword. Ten more flew behind him, and he slaughtered the devils with everything he had.

In the past, he could have summoned ten thousand swords and wiped them all out. But now, he lacked the bloodline power to do it.

BOOM!

Suddenly, his expression changed. Luo Ningshuang was sent flying by a giant palm, clutching her chest in pain.

“Ningshuang!” Long Zhantian exclaimed, shocked.

He turned to help her, but froze when he heard her voice.

“He’s here... He’s actually here...”

Her voice trembled.

In that instant, a blizzard of flower petals filled the sky, covering the battlefield.

The devil creatures—whether Human Emperor or Divine Emperor—were instantly slaughtered.

A handsome man in black robes descended from the sky, his gaze fixed on Luo Ningshuang. He was quivering.

Luo Ningshuang covered her mouth, tears blurring her vision.

The child who had been stolen from her had now become a man capable of holding up the very heavens. Her heart ached with overwhelming emotion.

They were connected—always had been. Even before Long Chen appeared, Luo Ningshuang had sensed his presence. After all, they had once shared a heartbeat.

Long Chen, too, had felt the exact place of his mother. That was why he rushed here without hesitation. The blurry figure that had haunted his dreams for so many years now stood before him, real and alive.

He stood frozen.

He was afraid that if he moved, it would all vanish—that he would wake from this cruel dream. That heart-wrenching fear, that trembling hope... only he understood it.

Luo Ningshuang sobbed silently, unable to speak. At that moment, the entire world seemed to freeze.

“Mom... is it really you?”

Long Chen finally spoke. At this time, he was no dean, no peerless hero. He was just a child.

His voice and his gaze were filled with such fragility, such desperate hope, that they broke everyone’s heart. He feared that this would all dissolve into a dream.

“Child, your mother let you down...” Luo Ningshuang slowly walked over to Long Chen and rubbed his face.

Only then did Long Chen dare to believe it was real. He collapsed to his knees and threw his arms around her.

“Mom... your son was unfilial... You’ve suffered...”

He sobbed like a lost child. The tears wouldn’t stop. They were the only outlet for the storm in his heart.

As a baby, his Spirit Blood, Spirit Root, and Spirit Bone had been ripped away, and he had suffered endless torment growing up. But he knew... his pain had never once surpassed his mother’s. He had always hated himself—for being weak, for not finding her sooner.

Now that he finally saw her, he couldn’t endure it any longer and cried out all his grievances.

Just then, the mountain and land shook. More devil creatures were coming.

This time, a monstrous aura accompanied them. A towering thirty-meter-tall giant emerged from their ranks, radiating heaven-shaking Sovereign might.

Luo Ningshuang gently wiped Long Chen’s tears and helped him to his feet.

“Good child, today is a happy day. Let’s not cry. Let’s kill these damned devils first. Then you can tell Mom everything.”

“Mom, there’s no need to trouble you with something so small,” replied Long Chen. “Your son can handle it.”

He waved his hand again, and flower petals instantly reappeared. The devil creatures were crushed before they could even get close.

As the petals vanished, devil corpses rained from the sky like falling leaves.

At this sight, the Lei family’s experts were utterly stunned.
