Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

With the Heaven Vein Mystic Realm about to open, Long Chen immediately thought about the Dragonblood warriors and got anxious.

“They’re already here, but they’re on the opposite side. The abyss is too large for you to cross over,” responded the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign.

“They also have a dragon vein to use?” asked Long Chen.

“No.”

“Ah…”

“However, they can seize someone else’s dragon vein. For example, the branch of the Blood race you just annihilated. If they were standing in the Blood race’s position when their dragon vein activates, they would be able to enter. The locations of the dragon veins for various factions are predetermined. Others can use them if they’re in the right place,” explained the primal chaos Dragon Sovereign.

Long Chen’s tension eased slightly, but a new thought quickly tightened his nerves. “Doesn’t that mean they’ll have to fight a rank-one Divine Emperor or someone of that caliber to take someone else’s dragon vein?”

“Of course. How else would they take a spot? You haven’t been to Sovereign Dragon Valley recently, so you don’t know how strong the Dragonblood warriors have become. They’ve undergone countless trials in the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, obtaining the legacies and treasures of the sovereign dragon race. Their power has completely transformed. A rank-one Divine Emperor or so is no longer a challenge for them,” said the Dragon Sovereign, a note of pride in its tone.

“A rank-one Divine Emperor is no problem for them?” Long Chen was pleasantly surprised. It seemed that the ancient Ten Thousand Dragon Nest was truly filled with priceless legacies.

Thinking about it further, Long Chen realized it made sense. Even before they entered Sovereign Dragon Valley, the Dragonblood warriors’ combined power was almost on par with his full-power attack. They might even surpass him.

With all of them growing stronger, the Dragonblood Cross Slash containing the full power of seven thousand of them would definitely be shocking.

The Dragon Sovereign said, “That little lady’s advice is entirely correct. In truth, if she hadn’t said anything, I would have reminded you myself. Once you’re inside the Heaven Vein Mystic Realm, you must show no mercy. Be ruthless. Use any means necessary to obtain all the treasures and legacies inside. This place will decide your future. Don’t get sloppy. Once inside, if you see enemies, kill them; if you see treasures, take them. Mercy at this time will only cause a calamity.”

“Understood.” Long Chen nodded.

If even the Dragon Sovereign had said such a thing, the Heaven Vein Mystic Realm had to be of the utmost importance for Long Chen. If he wanted to live, he had to steel his heart.

…

The light coming from the abyss continued to grow. Dragons formed from the heaven and earth’s qi churned within, seemingly guided by a mysterious force along set paths. Their auras intensified until a blinding light suddenly erupted, and an enormous dragon charged toward Long Chen and the others.

Everyone from the Wind God Sea Pavilion, including Feng Xinyue, became covered in a sacred light. Wind energy automatically swirled around them, and a mark appeared on every single one of their foreheads. This was a blessing. Long Chen instantly knew that this dragon was a condensation of the Wind God Sea Pavilion’s dragon veins.

Suddenly, the dragon qi transformed into drops of light that fell on the disciples. They were reinvigorated, feeling immense power welling up within them. In a flash, their eyes grew sharper and more confident.

However, Long Chen and Yue Zifeng didn’t feel anything. The drops of light seemed to notice that the two weren’t disciples of the Wind God Sea Pavilion, and so it avoided them.

Just then, an enormous staircase appeared beneath their feet, stretching into the abyss.

Similar staircases appeared for the golden-armored horsemen, the Evil Stone Spirit race, and even where the slain Blood race had been.

“Move out!” Feng Xinyue commanded, and her disciples stepped onto the staircase.

At first, there was only one stair. But once they stood upon it, another appeared. This pattern repeated as they descended into the abyss.

Meanwhile, Feng Xinyue remained at the starting point, her gaze lingering as she watched them go. She could only send them off to this spot.

With each step, the ancient, primal aura grew denser, enveloping them in a mysterious pressure. The abyss itself remained a dark, bottomless void, but it felt as though they were drawing closer to an immense, hidden world. R

…

Three days passed, and they had descended so deeply that darkness enveloped everything. In this darkness, they couldn’t even see their own fingers if they waved their hand in front of their face. Even divine sense was suppressed. It was as though they had become blind, ordinary mortals.

Tang Wan-er was nervously holding Long Chen’s hand. Seeing this, Long Chen smiled and patted her hand.

For some reason, he felt exceptionally at ease within the darkness. It gave him a sense of comfort, as though it were an old friend.

BOOM!

Suddenly, the tiniest glimmer of light appeared in the darkness, like the glow of a firefly in the night. But it rapidly grew, causing startled cries to erupt among the group. It soon became clear that this light was an entire world. As it got closer, they realized that its size was completely incalculable. This enormous world seemed to be being drawn closer by some mysterious force.

As it drew closer, the darkness around them receded. They realized that the abyss they had been traversing was merely a small tube leading to this immense world. The sight shook their souls, and their Yuan Spirits trembled. It felt as though they were gazing back into the primal chaos era.

With an earth-shattering boom, the world collided with their staircase. The stairs disintegrated instantly, and an irresistible suction force dragged them in.

As they were pulled into the unknown, Long Chen’s voice rang out:

“Heaven Vein Mystic Realm, Boss Long San has come!”
