Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

After exchanging a flurry of attacks, Long Chen realized that while he could defeat six-vein Emperors with brute force and techniques, he was rather powerless against seven-vein Emperors. Despite finding openings in the defenses of the Stone Spirit and Gold Lion race leaders and attacking them relentlessly, he could only inflict minor wounds. Actually killing them seemed impossible.

Although surrounded by a ton of experts, Long Chen had never feared group battles. He could even turn the weaklings’ attacks into opportunities. Yet, he understood that even with the help of Evilmoon, he lacked the power to kill seven-vein Emperors.

Without Evilmoon, dealing with six-vein Emperors would be his limit. So, despite his recent power increase, he was still far from the level of the Silver Hair Void Crusher.

“End things here? That’s right, your life ends here!” roared the Stone Spirit race leader. Its forearms were broken, and its body was full of gaping wounds. A strange fluid seeped from those holes.

The Gold Lion race leader was in equally bad shape, with over ten large bleeding wounds and one destroyed eye.

Seventy experts had come to surround Long Chen, but now, only ten remained. Many of them were wounded, and the ground was littered with corpses of their allies.

“My life ends here? How interesting,” Long Chen replied with a disdainful look toward the race leaders.

Checking in on Huo Linger, he found she was still in seclusion, so he didn’t disturb her. Instead, he put away Evilmoon and placed his palms together. With his forefinger and middle finger pointing up, he folded his other fingers on top of each other.

An immortal “Curse” character appeared on the backs of his hands as a powerful spiritual pressure started to rise. This was not an aura pressure but more like a mix of soul and will. It was invisible and untouchable, but could be felt.

The spiritual pressure shocked every expert present because they had never felt this kind of energy fluctuation before.

BOOM!

Suddenly, the void twisted, and a massive Silver Wing Heaven Devil materialized. Its immense devil aura caused everyone, including Chu He, to freeze in terror.

“That’s…!” Chu He’s expression darkened. He recognized the aura from when he had been gravely injured in the mysterious land, an injury that had haunted him ever since. After he got back, he forbade anyone from Tianyu City to go there, unless their power surpassed his.

Unbeknownst to him, his injury had actually been caused by the green parrot. The sneaky bird was worried about him taking the corpses, so it intentionally drew the devil qi to sneak attack him.

As for Long Chen, due to his cultivation base being much weaker and his aura being covered up by the corpses, the parrot didn’t sense him. By the time Long Chen appeared in front of it, it couldn’t do anything to him.

One reason was that the energy in the Silver Wing Heaven Devil corpses had been exhausted, while the other was that activating them required some preparations. Long Chen hadn’t given it the time to use those corpses against him.

Now that Chu He saw the Silver Wing Heaven Devil and sensed its terrifying aura, his soul quivered intensely. It was a nightmare that had been bothering him for years.

As the Silver Wing Heaven Devil opened its eyes, a terrifying wave of devil qi swept out like a tsunami. Long Chen leaped onto its head, and the remaining experts of the Gold Lion and Stone Spirit races fled in terror. Though they didn’t recognize the devil, its aura of death overwhelmed them from head to toe. Their instincts screamed at them to flee.

As Long Chen’s hand seal changed, the Silver Wing Heaven Devil squatted down and slammed its claws onto the ground. A black ripple spread from the impact, quickly engulfing the battlefield. freewebnσvel.cøm

“No!” screamed the Gold Lion race leader.

The Gold Lion race leader tried to flee, but the ripple overtook it and tore it apart. The black wave acted like invisible hands, ripping apart anyone caught in its path, even the seven-vein Emperors. No one could resist the life-reaping ripple.

Seeing this scene, Tianyu City’s experts were terrified even though it meant victory for them. Their bodies quivered as they stared at Long Chen standing atop the Silver Wing Heaven Devil’s head.

The aura of the winged devil drew out their most primitive fear. In front of the Silver Wing Heaven Devil, they couldn’t even summon the courage to run.

Li Yunhua and the younger disciples had once admired Long Chen, but now, seeing him control such a terrifying monster, they were filled with fear.

BOOM!

After unleashing this devastating attack, the Silver Wing Heaven Devil collapsed, its energy spent. It disintegrated into dust, blown away by the wind.

“Damn, not bad! Too bad I can only use it once,” Long Chen remarked, impressed.

Even with only a trace of life force left, the corpse’s attack was incredibly powerful. Long Chen could only imagine how strong the winged devil had been in life.

With a wave of hand, Long Chen summoned a net of lightning that spread over the battlefield, gathering the broken corpses and bringing them to the primal chaos space. However, Long Chen didn’t bother collecting the Stone Spirit race’s bodies, as they were not made of flesh and blood.

When these rockheads died, most of their energy returned to heaven and earth, and even the gem-like eyes that held their life essence dimmed. Long Chen realized he would need to extract their eyes before they died to harness their power in the future.

Though Long Chen had lost a puppet, he had annihilated enemies far stronger than him. The battle taught him the vast difference between their power levels and why the Earth Cauldron had urged him to trick the green parrot into giving up the Silver Wing Heaven Devil.

As Long Chen finished collecting the corpses, Chu He and the other experts from Tianyu City approached him with deep reverence. Chu He bowed deeply and said, “Thank you, savior. Tianyu City will never forget your kindness.”

Shaking his head, Long Chen replied, “Senior, there’s no need for such courtesy. This isn’t over yet. Organize the fighters—we’ll split into two groups and destroy their headquarters to ensure they never threaten us again.”

Under his direction, Tianyu City’s forces prepared to launch a final strike against the remnants of the Stone Spirit and Gold Lion races.
