Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

The Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree’s divine light flowed down, enveloping everyone in its hallow light.

Long Chen gave a brief explanation of the Seven Treasure Space, then told them to explore it on their own.

The result was exactly as he had expected.

The moment the disciples entered, their grand resolve was crushed. Many were slaughtered before they even understood what was happening, overwhelmed by the sheer number of enemies.

As Long Chen had fought continuously—especially in the heaven region’s battlefield—he had slain an enormous number of experts. The Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree had copied them and all of their innate divine abilities.

Perhaps due to the resentment lingering from their deaths, those lifeforms unleashed their strongest attacks the instant anyone entered.

These nine star heirs had never seen such a frightening scene before.

As soon as they entered, a wave of powerful attacks poured in from all directions. They weren’t sure what had exactly killed them.

Fortunately, these disciples had survived being hunted by the Brahma line. Perhaps their raw strength couldn’t rival the top elites of the Starry River Palace, but their wills far surpassed those sheltered greenhouse flowers.

Death did not discourage them.

Instead, it awakened their ferocity. Without a word, they charged back into the Seven Treasure Space again and again.

Seeing this many disciples roaring and going back in over and over again, Qu Yingying became very curious.

“It’s this fun? I want to go in too!”

She also wanted to go in, but Long Chen grabbed her first.

Long Chen hastily shook his head.

“This kind of cultivation doesn’t suit you!”

Although Qu Yingying was powerful, she had essentially zero experience on life-and-death battlefields.

This kind of terrifying scene could crush her Dao-heart instantly. Although Long Chen did not understand the Primal Chaos Astral Body, from Qu Yingying’s completely pure and innocent spiritual fluctuations, Long Chen guessed that perhaps her innocence was crucial to the Primal Chaos Astral Body.

Such dense death and bloodshed was something she might not endure. At the very least, Long Chen had no confidence that it wouldn’t cause harm. He didn’t dare to risk it.

“I don’t believe it!” Qu Yingying protested. “If they can go in, why can’t I?”

She stubbornly closed her eyes and connected her Spiritual Strength to the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree.

“You foolish girl!” Long Chen was speechless.

This big sister was indeed a master troublemaker. With no other choice, Long Chen also closed his eyes and entered the Seven Treasure Space.

“Kill!”

Roars rang throughout this world, and blood mist filled the air. A seemingly endless tide of powerful lifeforms were attacking from all directions.

Within that tide, tiny ripples appeared—the challengers.

Compared to the vast sea before them, the ripples were pitifully small. They were swiftly drowned. When a ripple vanished, it meant a challenger had been slain.

“AH!”

Qu Yingying froze in terror as overwhelming killing intent slammed into her. She saw countless lifeforms charging with frenzied eyes, like bloodthirsty fiends.

She had never imagined that the beautiful Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree concealed such a hell. It was completely different from the fun place in her imagination.

In truth, Long Chen had explained what lay within. But Qu Yingying had been mesmerized by its dreamlike divine light and hadn’t heard a word.

The moment she entered, she was stunned. Then, she screamed and instinctively raised a starry shield.

In her exhausted state, her astral energy was severely limited. The shield was struck more than a thousand times in an instant and shattered.

“I want to leave!” Qu Yingying screamed.

Then, she found that she could not control it. She was unable to sever her spiritual connection to the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree.

Aside from Long Chen, everyone entered the Seven Treasure Space alive and could only leave by dying. Of course, unless they reached the very end of this world and defeated the most terrifying existence waiting there.

Realizing she couldn’t escape, Qu Yingying screamed shrilly. Countless ravenous lifeforms seemed to want to swallow her alive.

“Heaven Blocking Shield!” Long Chen shouted.

Violet divine light condensed into a shield around her and knocked those lifeforms back.

Long Chen appeared next to Qu Yingying.

“Little brother, why is this place so terrifying?!”

Qu Yingying held onto Long Chen tightly, her voice quivering from fear.

Long Chen was speechless, realizing that she hadn’t listened to his explanation.

Long Chen quickly scanned her. Although she was terrified, her spiritual fluctuations were still stable.

When Long Chen appeared, those lifeforms were driven into an even greater frenzy. Furious roars rang throughout this space as their bloodthirsty hatred surged.

“Long Chen!!!”

Countless lifeforms pounced. Attacks slammed into the Heaven Blocking Shield in an ever-rising storm. The Heaven Blocking Shield vanished beneath the endless attacks.

Their furious killing intent and resentment had practically taken physical form. While the Heaven Blocking Shield could block their attacks, it could not block their hatred.

Under the assault of these resentful spirits, Qu Yingying quivered with fear. She held onto Long Chen with all her might.

“Don’t hold me so tightly, and stop climbing up! You’re almost riding me,” Long Chen said helplessly as he tried to push her back.

Qu Yingying was too terrified to care. She felt that only by clinging to Long Chen could she stay safe. Otherwise, she was certain bloody hands would erupt from the ground and drag her under.

Just then, Xue Ying appeared and charged through the ranks of enemies, leaving a trail of bloody mist.

Xue Ying was powerful and battle-hardened. She had experienced large-scale warfare before and adapted quickly to this relentless assault.

“Xue Ying, there are too many enemies here. This is a bit difficult for them. Help them create a stable zone,” ordered Long Chen.

He hadn’t expected such a dense concentration of lifeforms on the first level. The disciples of the nine heavens were simply dying as soon as they entered. They couldn’t gain any experience like this.

“Yes!”

Xue Ying nodded and immediately rushed toward the nine star disciples, helping them wipe out the surrounding lifeforms.

With her assistance—and with many lifeforms being drawn toward Long Chen—the disciples could finally survive for a time. They started exchanging blows with these lifeforms instead of being instantly killed.

Even so, the sheer number of enemies ensured they wouldn’t last long before dying and re-entering.

Xue Ying knew that Long Chen was training these disciples, so she didn’t go all-out. She only bought them time.

To Xue Ying’s shock, she saw some familiar figures here—experts she had encountered in the heaven region’s battlefield.

An hour later, the disciples were finally used to this ferocious fighting style and managed to hold their own on the battlefield.

“Lord Long Chen, I want to go deeper!” Xue Ying exclaimed.

“Go ahead. But don’t go to the seventh floor!”

Long Chen suddenly thought of that terrifying existence lying in wait on the seventh floor.
