Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

BOOM!

Long Chen’s saber fell. The lifeform’s nine tails once more quivered and spread out, forming a defensive canopy. Another explosive sound rang out, and a violent shockwave spread throughout the city.

The shockwave encompassed the entire divine capital. Even though they weren’t anywhere near the heart of the battlefield, countless outsider devils were still annihilated.

However, Long Chen suffered as well. Evilmoon shattered again, and he spat out blood. His Earth power was gentle and flexible, but his Heaven power was ferocious. Naturally, an attack based on this power would result in a backlash.

Worse still, he couldn’t take a break at all. Even as he spat out blood, more swords rained down on him.

Long Chen took a deep breath. Fortunately, he had held back a bit of power, or he wouldn’t have been able to dodge these attacks.

His feet flashed as he used the Star Cloud Steps to move away, leaving behind a sky of afterimages. In the end, those terrifying swords sliced to the afterimages, but remained one step behind Long Chen. They were unable to truly harm him.

However, every single one of them was so close that he could almost feel their edge on his skin. He really had to be careful.

“Dragon Blood Battle Armor!” shouted Long Chen, and a dragon cry echoed throughout the world. His Heaven and Earth power were unable to deal with this opponent, so he tried his dragon blood instead.

When the Sovereign King Dragon Crown appeared on Long Chen’s head, Long Chen instantly felt a pure energy flowing into him from heaven and earth.

“This is... karmic luck!”

Long Chen was startled. He realized that it had to be related to the divine capital being the focal spot where the karmic luck of the entire Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture gathered. The outsider devils’ goal was obviously to take advantage of this karmic luck.

With the world changing, karmic luck was also undergoing a transformation, just like the laws. In other words, this karmic luck was the new era’s karmic luck, slowly brewing while the old era’s karmic luck slowly vanished.

The keyword here was “slowly”; this new karmic luck had yet to reach maturity and show itself. But the divine capital was the core of the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture’s karmic luck. Thanks to this, they were able to absorb a trace of the new era’s karmic luck before anybody else was even aware of it.

Thanks to the addition of the new era’s karmic luck, their law power was undergoing a massive transformation before everyone else. This was the reason that the three-headed lifeform was so terrifying.

When Long Chen summoned the Dragon Blood Battle Armor, the Sovereign King Dragon Crown that symbolized his essence rune caused this new karmic luck to also gather towards him. When the karmic luck focused on him, Long Chen felt his suppressed cultivation suddenly starting to stir!

Long Chen was so frightened he hastily cut off this karmic luck. Otherwise, he might ascend to the first Heavenstage of the Sovereign Lord realm, and that would be disastrous. The new era was not yet here; its laws and karmic luck were still immature. Making his breakthrough now would mean everything he’d sacrificed waiting for the optimal moment would be wasted.

The pressure of the Sovereign King Dragon Crown caused that three-headed lifeform’s eyes to widen. Suddenly, it sensed the inflow of karmic luck stagnating, as if something was preventing it from using the karmic luck.

It spoke up. “You’re clearly a nine star heir, but you are using the secret arts of the violet blood race, Jiuli race, and dragon race. It seems that the nine star line has truly declined.”

“An animal isn’t qualified to speak of the nine star line’s matters,” snorted Long Chen. “Now the divine capital’s grand formation is broken. Let’s see how much longer you can last!”

This time, he took the initiative to attack. Evilmoon once more appeared in his hand, and the moment it showed up, it became clear that the power of his dragon blood was the power that best suited Evilmoon. Draconic marks lit up on Evilmoon’s blade, and a dragon cry shook the heavens.

The three-headed being’s tails flapped, and law power weaved together into a massive shield. It faced this attack in a state of absolute defense, or so it seemed at first glance. But above them, the six eyes in the sky flashed at once. Six swords pierced towards Long Chen at the same time.

Even before Long Chen’s sword fell, those six swords reached him. This three-headed lifeform had actually predicted Long Chen’s attack!

The six swords reached Long Chen from six sides, stabbing him like a piece of tofu!

But just then, Long Chen vanished, and a roar echoed from above.

“Heaven Splitting Slash!”

As it turned out, the one stabbed by the swords was just an afterimage. The three-headed lifeform thought it had predicted Long Chen’s attack, but Long Chen had actually been baiting it!

BOOM!

Evilmoon slashed down on its shield with apocalyptic power, and this time, its shield blew apart. That three-headed lifeform shuddered and spat out blood.

Unfortunately, the new Evilmoon was only sharp, and it lacked any semblance of toughness. Upon contact with the shield, it once more blew apart. Otherwise, this attack would have dealt a heavy injury.

However, with a wave of his hand, another Evilmoon appeared in Long Chen’s hand, and a dragon cry rang out once more.

A head flew into the sky, followed by a trail of blood!

“Hahaha, as long as we break its defenses, its body is like tofu!” Evilmoon shouted excitedly. The feeling of cutting off a powerful opponent’s head was truly satisfying.

“Ant, how dare you harm a Venerate’s body?! Not even ten thousand deaths are enough!” roared the two-headed lifeform, finally confirming its identity.

BOOM!

Its nine tails fanned out into the sky, and each tail ignited with a differently-colored flame.

Heaven and earth suddenly changed color; at the same time, all the outsider devils fighting Cang Lu and Huo Linger suddenly exploded. As their bodies turned into bits of flesh and blood mist, strands of black smoke came out.

Following Long Chen’s rampage, there had been less than three thousand beings still alive in the divine capital, but they were instantly killed by the Devil Venerate.

Those strands of black smoke surged towards the three-headed lifeform. Huo Linger tried to stop them with her flames, but it had no effect. This black smoke had no substance. It was as if it could pass through all things, including Heavenly Flames.

“A forceful extraction of faith energy...” Long Chen’s eyes narrowed. Although he didn’t know what this fellow was planning, his soul was shaking. It was most likely about to unleash something big.

I have to kill it!

Instantly grasping the severity of the problem, Long Chen stepped forward and swung down his saber once more. However, he was startled to find that the blade passed right through its body, as if it was not even there. He couldn’t harm it in the slightest. It felt as if it was just a projection, and didn’t truly exist within this world.

“Devil Dao Law—Devil Blood Prison!”

Suddenly, countless blood-colored chains shot out of the two-headed being and weaved into a cage around Long Chen.
