Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5368 The Yan Xu Line’s True Strength

Long Chen stared at Feng Xinyue in disbelief. As he looked into her eyes, he felt like he understood everything, but it was still hard to accept.

“Senior, did you arrange all of this?” His voice trembled at the thought. If Feng Xinyue had orchestrated everything, that would be terrifying.

He knew what she was referring to—the piece of Radiant World Star Crystal in his primal chaos space. That was why he was so shocked.

Feng Xinyue shook her head. “How could I have such power? This is fate. The moment those old fellows started scheming, I had a feeling that it would end up in your pocket. And it did. The nine-star lineage’s karmic luck is starting to awaken. Otherwise, there’s no way you could have acquired it.”

“Senior, you know of the Radiant World Star Crystal?” asked Long Chen.

“The Radiant World Star Crystal is a priceless treasure for the nine star line. It contains immense astral energy, but more importantly, it holds the profundities of the birth and death of a starry river. Comprehending it will let you truly step through the door of the nine star line. This thing is very important to you, but I’m also not too sure about the exact details. You’ll have to figure it out yourself,” replied Feng Xinyue.

Hearing that, Long Chen was delighted. The Earth Cauldron had also emphasized its importance to him. It seemed his luck had truly turned for the better this time.

“That’s right, how did you get entangled in the Yan Xu line’s karma?” Feng Xinyue’s tone suddenly grew serious.

Long Chen obediently told her about the precious story with Yan Hong. Upon hearing that Huo Linger had devoured Yan Hong’s power, Feng Xinyue nodded.

“No wonder. In theory, the Yan Xu line’s power cannot be controlled by outsiders. But when you condensed your Eight Star Battle Armor using both lightning and flame energy, the Yan Xu Flame’s power was devoured by your astral energy. That’s how you’re able to use it.”

Feng Xinyue had known of Long Chen’s enmity with the Yan Xu line, but she hadn’t expected him to control the Yan Xu Flame. Now, after hearing his explanation, she realized that his stars had absorbed the Yan Xu Flame’s power.

“It’s best to avoid using the Yan Xu Flame. Utilizing it will bind you to them karmically, and Yan Xu’s sons will soon find you. They are incredibly powerful, especially the first eight sons, whose strength is comparable to Lord Brahma’s Eight Great Divine Commanders,” Feng Xinyue warned.

“Comparable to the Eight Great Divine Commanders? They’re that terrifying? Then why was Yan Hong so weak? I saw his big brother too, and he didn’t seem that terrifying,” Long asked.

“Yan Hong is weak because Yan Xu is still gravely injured. He is essentially in a dormant state, unable to grow and heal. But Yan Xu’s other eight sons have been helping him recover for countless years. As a result, only their weak avatars can occasionally roam the world. What you’ve encountered are their weakest clones, each with less than one ten-thousandth of their true power,” explained Feng Xinyue.

Long Chen was shocked. If what Feng Xinyue said was true, the Yan Xu line was no weaker than the Brahma line.

Long Chen had always assumed that Lord Brahma was the strongest being in the world, but now it seemed there were others who could rival him.

“You shouldn’t be too proud of killing Yan Hong. The Yan Xu line is undying. You can kill their bodies and destroy their souls, but you cannot erase their wills. As long as Yan Xu lives, his sons will be able to revive indefinitely. The stronger Yan Hong is when he dies, the more energy and time it will take for his revival. Aiding his revival will also severely slow Yan Xu’s recovery. So, if you encounter Yan Hong again, be cautious,” Feng Xinyue advised.

“Does that mean if Yan Hong comes out again, it signals that Yan Xu is almost recovered?” Long Chen asked

Feng Xinyue smiled. It really was easy talking to a smart person. He instantly understood what she was saying, deducing the truth without her having to say it explicitly.

If Yan Hong wasn’t revived, it meant that Yan Xu’s recovery was at a critical stage and there wasn’t enough energy for his son’s revival. But if Yan Hong did return, it indicated that Yan Xu no longer needed that much energy. Yan Hong had essentially become a benchmark to measure the Yan Xu line’s state.

Since Long Chen had grasped the situation, Feng Xinyue switched the conversation back to the Wind God Sea Pavilion.

“The Wind God Sea Pavilion is keeping those idiots alive to trick its enemies. This way, the true Wind God Sea Pavilion can grow without problem. Over the years, the spies have done their part well. They’ve bought the Wind God Sea Pavilion many years to rest and grow. They thought they had killed the Wind God Sea Pavilion’s true heavenly geniuses, but in truth, the geniuses had been transported to the true Wind God Sea Pavilion.

“However, before the Wind God Sea Pavilion is ready to display its power, we must endure. We left those old fellows alive, using the Wind Dominion Pearl to control them and deceive their masters. Although information about what happened here will soon leak, we still have time to prepare many things. Speaking of which, what was your goal in barging through the Endless Desolation?” asked Feng Xinyue.

“My first goal is to find my mother’s violet blood race,” replied Long Chen, not holding anything back from Feng Xinyue.

“The violet blood race? They appeared thirteen thousand years ago on the other side of the Heaven Essence World and then vanished. If they are still around, they would likely be deep in the Endless Desolation. However, crossing the entire Heaven Essence World is extremely dangerous for you. News of your presence will soon reach the Brahma Pill Valley, and their people may already know you are here at the Wind God Sea Pavilion. Once you leave, the Silver Hair Void Crusher will strike again, and this time, he won’t hold back. He won’t give you a chance like last time,” warned Feng Xinyue

Long Chen nodded. Feng Xinyue was entirely correct. As long as he stayed within the Wind Dominion Pearl’s protection, the Silver Hair Void Crusher wouldn’t dare to attack him. But the moment he left, he would be in danger without its protection.

“And your second goal?” asked Feng Xinyue.

“My second goal is to reach the Dragon Domain,” said Long Chen.

“The Dragon Domain is also very far away, and you have to cross the devil sea to reach it. It’s a rough journey.”

Feng Xinyue paused and thought about it for a moment before saying, “But you should prepare yourself. The Dragon Domain’s situation is no better than what you see here in the Wind God Sea Pavilion.”

“What?” Long Chen was stunned. Could the Dragon Domain also be in such a dire state?
