Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

“Rushing Wind Arc Formation!”

“Long Dragon Twisting Slaughter Formation!”

“Immovable Boulder Sea Formation!”

“Thousand Wave Massacre Formation!”

Shouts rang out like thunder, shaking heaven and earth. Three million nine star disciples split into three groups and charged at the first level’s enemies.

In theory, the first level housed the weakest enemies. Yet, at this moment, every disciple’s face was deathly pale. Even the weapons in their hands trembled.

All of them were in an extremely weakened state.

Before this, some disciples had not reached the Sovereign Lord realm, so Long Chen used his medicinal pills to forcibly boost their realm.

After raising their realm, he gave them the Sovereign Dao Foundation Breaking Pill, which tore down their foundations. In other words, they now had the realm, but their astral energy and law power were unable to match the realm.

What should have been an easy fight for them now became incredibly difficult.

These disciples didn’t know why Long Chen did this, but they didn’t question him. There was no need to, as they had already entrusted their lives to him.

Under Long Chen’s command, the formations changed without pause. The coordination was precise, almost instinctive. These three million nine star heirs were truly good seedlings.

Their perseverance and comprehension were top notch. Perhaps this was precisely why they had survived crossing the wall between worlds.

To use Long Chen’s words, they were all chosen by the heavens. They had experienced countless trials to reach this point, and now was their time to become this world’s main characters.

Long Chen’s words fully triggered their hot blood. They believed him. If they were really the main characters of this world, then they needed to act like it.

Even in this absolutely terrible state, not a single person complained or retreated. They continued to rotate their formations under Long Chen’s direction, cutting down the lifeforms before them.

Fighting at their weakest forced them to rely on one another. This was Long Chen’s method to train their teamwork. It was crude, urgent, and merciless, but it was also the fastest way to turn scattered individuals into a single force.

Even a shallow grasp of formations now amplified their collective strength exponentially.

These were basic formations, yet among them stood a possessor of the monstrous Primal Chaos Astral Body.

Once they fully mastered these formations and later wielded the Radiant Starlight World, these three million disciples would become a single blade—one capable of carving through anything in its path.

Most importantly, as they trained, their power continuously grew. This group’s potential was unimaginable.

When Long Chen said that they were the main characters of this world, he was not exaggerating. He truly believed it.

Perhaps his meeting with these lovable nine star heirs here was actually fate. Otherwise, how could such unbreakable trust have formed so quickly?

As their formations continuously changed, their coordination grew increasingly refined. Time passed, and the lifeforms of the first level steadily dwindled until none remained.

At this moment, everyone was completely exhausted. They could barely stand but continued to persevere.

Xue Ying stood by Long Chen’s side and sighed sincerely.

“This is a group of true warriors!”

She could not believe that a full group of three million people actually possessed such immense potential and perseverance.

Xue Ying herself had once raised a group of subordinates, but Long Chen had killed them all. Back then, she was deeply displeased. After all, cultivating such a force required immense time and effort.

Before this, their cultivation bases had been unevenly matched, and their power had been unremarkable. However, in just one month, Long Chen had raised this group of weaklings into monsters.

Now, Qu Yingying understood. It wasn’t that her subordinates had been weak—it was that she, as a leader, was lacking.

Qu Yingying was also excited by their transformation. It was her first time seeing millions of people forming a formation. It was a dazzling sight to her.

She could already imagine herself at the forefront, leading these brothers and sisters in a sweeping slaughter of devils.

Long Chen formed hand seals. Starlight flooded the world, washing over the disciples. Their bodies trembled.

Long Chen announced, “Your original foundations were destroyed by the Sovereign Dao Foundation Breaking Pills. You then endured an immense battle under the worst possible conditions. Your Dao-hearts are now as firm as boulders.

“Now, your essence, qi, and spirit are exhausted. This is the best moment to rebuild after tearing down your foundation. I will use my own astral energy as the soil, and you will use the leaves of enlightenment to recondense your essence runes. Remember, open your heart and wait patiently for your own essence rune to find you!”

Hearing that Long Chen would use his astral energy to help them condense their essence runes, they were all excited and grateful. They hastily entered a meditative state.

At this moment, leaves drifted down from the sky—the leaves of the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree. They gently settled upon the disciples’ heads.

Multicolored light flashed. As the leaves merged with their souls, they were drawn into the starlight. Leaf-shaped patterns appeared on their foreheads, within which star diagrams slowly formed.

Every person’s star diagrams were different. Their auras and fluctuations varied wildly.

Xue Ying’s eyes widened when she saw this.

The Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree actually possessed such a heaven-defying ability, able to help them recondense essence runes in such a short time.

After all, essence runes were bound to one’s very being and were nearly impossible to alter. Yet this tree could reshape fate itself.

Xue Ying couldn’t help but think about what she could do with such a treasure. Wouldn’t she be able to raise another terrifying group of experts?

The thought vanished as quickly as it arose. Such a priceless treasure demanded power to protect it. If it were in her hands, she would likely already be dead.

Just as Xue Ying was distracted by her thoughts, the multicolored leaves ignited. Their light faded, and the leaf patterns vanished, leaving only the star diagrams behind.

Just then, everyone opened their eyes. They were filled with disbelief.

The appearance of these new essence runes made them feel a new astral fluctuation. It felt like their bodies had undergone some kind of transformation.

“Now that you have new essence runes, you should experience their power. We’re going to the second level!” Long Chen exclaimed, smiling.

Everyone cheered excitedly. Although they were still exhausted, these new essence runes provided them with an unending stream of energy. They were itching to try them out.

Time slipped by...

And a month passed just like that.

As the barrier around the desolate mountain dissipated, three million nine star disciples appeared like sharp blades. Their light was so powerful that nothing could cover it up.

Long Chen looked ahead and said evenly, “Use our power to seize what belongs to us.”
