Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5464 Dragonblood Blade

Everyone turned to look at Long Chen with shock. Could the handprint on the bone dragon race leader’s face truly be his doing?

Long Chen didn’t explain. After saying a few courteous words to the white dragon race leader, he left with the Dragonblood Legion to their own training area.

The white dragon race’s hospitality was exceptional, providing the Dragonblood Legion with a Ten Thousand Dragon Nest for their cultivation. Any resources belonging to the white dragon race were available to them, many of which were typically reserved for disciples who had to earn points to trade for them. Yet, the Dragonblood Legion could access them freely.

Upon returning to the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, the Dragonblood warriors wanted to talk about what had happened during their separation. However, they tactfully gave Long Chen and Bai Shishi some private time.

The only one oblivious to this subtlety was Bai Xiaole, who babbled away beside Long Chen. In the end, the little fox grabbed him by the head and dragged him off, leaving Long Chen and Bai Shishi alone.

As soon as they were alone, Bai Shishi’s eyes turned red. She threw her arms around Long Chen, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face.

“I was so terrified you...” she started, her voice choked with emotion.

Back then, after Long Chen had ordered the Earth Cauldron to transport them away, leaving himself against the Silver Hair Void Crusher, Bai Shishi almost went insane. Like a madwoman, she tried to return to the battlefield to help Long Chen.

In the end, Bai Xiaole had to use a pupil art to make her fall into a slumber. Afterward, Bai Shishi heard from the Dragonblood warriors that Long Chen had managed to escape safely, but they didn’t provide any details, leaving her anxieties unresolved.

Each passing day felt endless to her, a torment she had never experienced before. Despite others' attempts to comfort her, her heart remained gripped by panic.

Now, seeing Long Chen safe and well again, Bai Shishi was overjoyed but also aggrieved. Tears cascaded down her cheeks. She couldn’t understand how her feelings had grown so intense. It was as if Long Chen’s absence had drained the world of its light, leaving her existence hollow and meaningless.

“I’m sorry I worried you.” Long Chen held Bai Shishi tightly, gently comforting her.

After a while, Bai Shishi finally stopped crying. Long Chen suggested they join the others, but she refused. With her eyes so red, how could she see the others?

“If you don’t come, I won’t go either,” Long Chen teased lightly, though his tone carried a firm resolve.

Bai Shishi panicked, hastily pushing him out of the room. “Just go already!”

Reassured that she was truly fine, Long Chen smiled and made his way to the Dragonblood Legion’s gathering.

Long Chen found the group in the white dragon race’s drilling area, where Guo Ran stood at the center, brandishing a sword. It sliced through the air with a thunderous sound, drawing everyone’s attention.

After that, Guo Ran enthusiastically showed off this sword to the Dragonblood warriors. “Let me tell you, this treasure blade cuts through steel like it’s mud! Among Human Emperor divine weapons, it’s top tier! The only problem is it’s missing one critical element. If I had it, this blade could rival Divine Emperor weapons!”

“What is it missing?” asked Long Chen.

“Boss, you’re here! Hahaha, come, come. Look at the new Dragonblood Blade I forged with the Dragon Domain’s immortal metals!” Guo Ran shouted excitedly, running over and handing the sword to him.

Long Chen grabbed the sword, and his arm sank slightly. He was taken aback. “It’s this heavy?”

The sword was four fingers wide and could be classified as a broadsword. It was incredibly heavy, over a hundred times heavier than an ordinary Human Emperor divine weapon. No wonder Guo Ran was wearing gloves; without additional support, wielding it would have been impossible.

“The batch of swords you made last time was replaced so quickly without even being used? Isn’t that wasteful? You and Xia Chen put a lot of effort into them,” Long Chen remarked.

“Hehe, Boss, if we’d had proper weapons last time, that silver-haired bastard wouldn’t have been able to suppress us like that! With the power of so many brothers in the Dragonblood Legion, I refuse to believe we couldn’t kill him!” Guo Ran replied, his indignation evident.

Their defeat at the hands of the Silver Hair Void Crusher left Guo Ran deeply frustrated. The Dragonblood warriors had immense power, but at that critical moment, their weapons couldn’t channel their power effectively, leading to their defeat.

After that, Guo Ran swore to forge a new set of elite divine weapons. He also planned to design battle armor with near-limitless energy storage to maximize their potential in battle.

No one understood the Dragonblood warriors’ power better than Guo Ran. He firmly believed that when the seven thousand warriors combined their strength, not even the Silver Hair Void Crusher could withstand them.

The problem was finding an immortal metal capable of bearing that much power. Without the materials, there was nothing he could do.

However, with the white dragon race's immortal metals at his disposal, Guo Ran instantly went crazy forging new Dragonblood Blades.

The white dragon race’s immortal metals were of the highest quality, and they were the materials the dragon race most often used. Their inherent strength made them perfect for withstanding immense power.

Just the day before, Guo Ran had completed his masterpiece and was preparing to present the new weapons to the Dragonblood Legion. However, with Long Chen's unexpected arrival, Guo Ran’s excitement got the better of him. Unable to wait, he began showcasing the blades to the Dragonblood Legion first, reveling in their awe. But as fate would have it, Long Chen arrived just as Guo Ran pulled out the Dragonblood Blade.

“These blades have so many ingenious forging techniques in them that I could talk about them for hours!” Guo Ran boasted.

Long Chen nodded in understanding when he learned that this Dragonblood Blade had been forged with the Dragon Domain’s immortal metals. No wonder it was so heavy.

Its edge bore blood-colored ripple patterns so sharp they almost hurt to look at. The sword’s center was adorned with thirty-six interwoven runes per side, resembling the closed teeth of a beast.

It was a stark contrast to Guo Ran’s earlier designs, which featured tens of thousands of runes. It had the feeling of the Grand Dao being condensed from complexity to simplicity, which showed that Guo Ran’s forging arts had advanced to a new level.

“Can I try it?” asked Long Chen.

“Of course. I’ve forged an extra ten of these. Even if you break one, it’s fine,” said Guo Ran, understanding what Long Chen was about to do.

Without hesitation, Long Chen gripped the blade, pouring his violet blood power into it. All its runes instantly lit up. He then switched to his seven-color Supreme Blood, causing the sword’s brilliance to intensify further.

Finally, Long Chen unleashed his dragon blood power. The blade responded with a thunderous dragon cry, shaking the void as terrifying Sword Qi rippled outward, causing faint cracks in the void.

“This is a good sword!” Long Chen exclaimed.

Eager to test its limits, he poured his astral energy into the blade. Stars began to shimmer on its surface, growing denser and denser as the sword quivered in his grip.

BOOM!

The blade exploded under the immense strain, unable to contain the full force of Long Chen’s astral energy.

Long Chen inspected the shattered remnants and smiled in approval. “This is excellent. It managed to contain at least thirty percent of my astral energy. For a divine weapon, that’s no small feat.”

Until now, the only weapon capable of holding his full astral energy was Evilmoon. Even among the strongest weapons, only a few could rival the durability of the Dragonblood Blade.

Guo Ran, however, sighed regretfully. “The main issue is that I’m still missing something. If I had it, these Dragonblood Blades would be at least twice as powerful.”

“What are you missing?” Long Chen asked.

“Divine Emperor Blood Elixir,” Guo Ran replied, his tone both hopeful and frustrated.
