Chapter 1454 1454

”Thirty minutes. How very kind of you. I got something better for you. I’ll give you Twenty minutes…”

”Twenty minutes what?” The Rainbow Phoenix asked, frowning. 

”Twenty minutes for you to remove all restrictions and let me leave? Because I don’t hesitate to fight you. You might be an Origin Beast, but you are weak as well.”

”You might be stronger than Little Snow at the moment, but a long-distance, but you aren’t at your peak. I know that much. Otherwise, you won’t be hiding for so long. I can sense your strength.”

”It’s high but not high enough that I don’t be able to sense. If I were to guess, you aren’t much stronger than the statues themselves, aren’t I right?” Long Chen asked, not being intimidated.

He believed he could face her if push came to shove. 

”Amusing. You are a very amusing human, aren’t you?” The woman asked as her lips curled to a smile. 

”You are right. I’m not at my peak. In fact, I’m not even close to my peak. It is going to take a long time to get there. In fact, I should thank her for whatever strength I managed to gain in such a short time.”

”Thank her?”

”Of course. If it wasn’t for her Godly Star Energy, I might’ve been just as weak as her.”

”Her Energy star? The star you were sitting before coming here, that was hers? You were stealing her energy?”

”Not her energy; I was stealing her Godly Stars energy since it’s the only one that’s compatible with me out of all Godly Stars. We Origin Beasts didn’t have a Godly Star. We were created with the purest form of energy, after all. We are different from the Godly Beasts.”

”However, since she was born again as a weaker version, for some reason, a Godly Star came with her birth. On its own, it’s not beneficial for anyone since it doesn’t give her strength like Godly Stars give to the Godly Beasts.”

”Since the star was useless on its own, I thought I should use it instead. It doesn’t help anyone, but its energy does help when stolen directly.” 

”If I were to suck that energy for a few months more, I would’ve regained my strength, but I sensed her in our home when she sat on the throne. I just couldn’t stop myself from coming here to meet with my old friend.”

”Old friend or old enemy?” Long Chen asked, sighing. “You came here because you noticed that she was weak, and you didn’t want to lose her?”

Long Chen and the woman kept talking while the battles between the statues became more brutal. Pieces of stones and energy attacks were flying everywhere. Long Chen had to yell occasionally to make sure his voice got through to the other side. 

”Now that you know the truth, do you still want to challenge me? Let alone how strong I am now; even if I were as weak as you, you still wouldn’t be able to face me.”

”If I want, I can burn this whole realm into cinders in a second, and you can’t stop me. And remember, once you burn in my fire, even your soul would be ripped to shreds, unable to go into reincarnation ever!”

”I guess I’ll have to drop the plan of living my next life in comfort on earth after my next reincarnation. Oh well, the dream was nice while it lasted.”

The Rainbow Phoenix was able to decipher the answer of Long Chen through his statement. 

”What is your name?” she asked Long Chen. 

”Long Chen. May I ask why you want to know?”

”Long Chen, you are a very brave person. I thought I should know your name before killing you.”

”May I know your name as well then?”

”Why do you want to know my name?”

”Same reason as you,” Long Chen smirked before jumping right in the battle of the stone statues. 

He was very clear about the words of the Rainbow Phoenix about the statues of Little Snow running out of power soon. 

He didn’t want to face the other statues alone; thus, he decided to destroy the enemy statue while the battle was still raging. 

Moreover, now he had an advantage as well. The statues were already damaged to some extent in the battle. He could easily thrust his sword through the cracks to destroy them. 

He appeared right above a Massive Bear whose head had a scar because the claws of another statue landed on his head previously. 

Long Chen held the sword firmly as he thrust the sword down, stabbing at the center of the crack. The sword impaled the statue, shattering it into pieces. All the pieces were absorbed by the sword. 

Seeing the stones absorbed by the Sword, the frown of the Rainbow Phoenix deepened. 

”As expected from the sword of his… Even at the hands of a human who doesn’t know anything, it’s still showing the hint of its old self. I don’t understand how it’s possible though.”

”I thought the sword was asleep, that’s why another person was able to use it, but it’s still doing such things. It means the sword isn’t asleep. Then how did it not devour this human yet? Why is it working with this human? Just what is so special about this human?” The Rainbow Phoenix wondered. 

She had many questions, and she couldn’t understand why it was happening. Why did Little Snow allow herself to get in a contract with the human? 

Why did the human use the awakened sword without being swallowed by the sword? It was fine if the Sword was asleep. 

It could still show the abilities of time when asleep, but now when it could devour other things, there was no question about it being awakened. 

For some reason, Long Chen felt that the sword was much sharper. The sword sliced through the stone much easier. 

”As expected, the sword gets sharper and stronger after swallowing these things! In fact, it’s so easy to kill them. I was worrying for no reason!”

Long Chen became more excited about the battle. He was also happy that he didn’t give in to the threats to surrender the sword. 

He moved from one statue to another, destroying them.

Within a few minutes, he has destroyed all the remaining statues of the Rainbow Phoenix. Most of the statues of Little Snow were also destroyed, leaving only five of them.
