Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

The Blood race’s killing intent erupted like a storm the moment their eyes fell on Long Chen.

They could feel the curse clinging to Long Chen—a manifestation of the resentment harbored by numerous Blood race experts who had fallen to his hands. Moreover, the curse was incredibly dense, telling them that he had massacred countless of their experts.

“Humans, come out and face your death!” a thunderous roar echoed from the Blood race’s camp.

“Oh? Such a generous invitation? Then I won’t stand on ceremony!” Long Chen sneered.

Long Chen was already brimming with pent-up fury and frustration, so the Blood race’s provocation was all the excuse he needed. Without hesitation, he stomped the ground, vanishing in a flash of lightning. When he reappeared, he was right in the midst of their army.

“World Extermination Lightning Radiance!”

Long Chen was as quick as lightning. No one had expected him to dare to charge right into the center of their army. Just as they were confused, a sphere of lightning appeared in Long Chen’s hand and exploded.

BOOM!

A deafening roar tore through the air as lightning swallowed the tens of millions of Blood race experts. Many didn’t even catch a glimpse of their attacker before being obliterated in the storm.

The Blood race was Long Chen’s sworn nemesis. Whether in the mortal or immortal realms, the two sides had been locked in a cycle of clashes, like fire and water. Hence, the minute he attacked, he unleashed Lei Linger’s strongest thunderforce.

Having absorbed the remnants of tribulation lightning from the rank-one Devil Emperor’s corpse, Lei Linger unleashed a power far beyond what these enemies could withstand. As the lightning surged, nearly half of the Blood race’s forces were annihilated in an instant.

Though the remaining half survived, quite a few were heavily injured. Moreover, they only survived because they had a tougher body, not because they reacted faster. None had expected Long Chen to unleash such an attack.

“Die!” roared the remaining Blood race experts, their fury boiling over as they charged at Long Chen with weapons raised.

But Long Chen was already prepared.

“World Extermination Flame Lotus!”

A blazing lotus bloomed in his hand, erupting in another cataclysmic explosion.

BOOM!

The sea of flames that followed engulfed the advancing forces.

“AHH!”

Agonized screams filled the air as the unrelenting flames clung to their bodies like molten oil. While they did their best to suppress the flames, nothing they tried worked. No amount of bloodline power, Doyen power, or even water-based energy could extinguish the inferno. After all, this one attack contained the might of the Sun Flame, the Moon Flame, the Ice Soul Divine Flame, the Yan Xu Flame, and countless other flames.

In ordinary circumstances, these ancient heavenly geniuses of the Blood race could have resisted such flames using their core runes. But weakened and wounded by the lightning attack, their defenses had crumbled. Without their core runes to protect them, the flames became fatal, devouring them mercilessly and even burning their Yuan Spirits to ash.

The golden horsemen were dumbfounded as they watched this scene. Their first impression of Long Chen had been quite underwhelming. To them, he seemed like a sloppy, carefree youth with a weak and unassuming aura. His frivolous demeanor led them to believe he was nothing more than a pretty boy, someone who relied on charm and good looks to seduce women.

However, when Long Chen acted, he was ruthless. The imposing auras of the ancient heavenly geniuses were now reduced to agonizing screams as they burned to death.

At this sight, a chill ran down the spines of the golden horsemen. They had gravely misjudged him.

Long Chen’s relentless assault unfolded with terrifying speed, leaving no time for anyone to intercept him. Finally, after countless disciples had perished, the rank-one Blood Emperor reacted. A sharp, clawed hand tore through the void, whistling toward Long Chen.

“Die!” shouted the rank-one Blood Emperor.

In response, Long Chen stepped within the sea of flames and seemed to teleport, reappearing at the edge of the flame sea.

BOOM!

The rank-one Blood Emperor’s claw pierced through the void, forming a giant black hole.

The power of this attack was shocking. However, no matter how shocking it was, Long Chen seemed entirely unfazed. In a single, fluid movement, he returned to his original position, as though nothing had happened.

In mere moments, over seventy percent of the Blood race’s experts lay dead, while the survivors were all black and burned.

After returning to his position, Long Chen simply clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the rank-one Blood Emperor.

“Damn humans, I’ll kill you all!” roared the rank-one Blood Emperor.

“Come on, then,” Long Chen taunted, his tone laced with disdain. “If you don’t, I’ll think even less of you.”

Long Chen gestured mockingly, beckoning the rank-one Blood Emperor to attack.

The rank-one Blood Emperor waved his hand, and a blood-colored compass appeared above his head. It was an exceedingly ancient divine weapon.

As the compass spun faster, the stench of blood saturated the battlefield. The oppressive power it exuded shook the souls of all who stood nearby.

Sensing the escalating danger, the golden-armored horsemen started retreating. They were mere spectators in this conflict and didn’t want to get drawn into a battle on this level.

However, they found that Long Chen and the others remained eerily calm. It was as if they had no intention of retaliating at all.

Just as the rank-one Blood Emperor pushed the compass’s power to its peak, an icy, commanding voice shattered the silence.

“Put away your weapon. With your power, you aren’t qualified to challenge me. If you try anyway, all that awaits you is complete annihilation.”

Feng Xinyue stepped forward, looking like a goddess standing at the peak of all divinities—an existence that others couldn’t even look directly at.

Her voice wasn’t particularly loud, but the ten thousand Daos boomed when she spoke. In an instant, the pressure caused by the mighty compass vanished without a trace.

The rank-one Blood Emperor’s expression completely changed. The compass slowed its rotation, its deadly aura dissipating as if cowed by her words.

Seeing this, Long Chen realized that things weren’t going as he planned. He hastily shouted, “Hey, brother, don’t be a coward! Come on, stand up for your principles!”
