Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5476 Enemies Arrive

All of the dragon race experts in the surroundings did not dare to believe their ears. Mo Yang asked Long Chen again, wanting to confirm that he had heard right.

“Was it really the Sovereign Blood Seal?”

“That’s why I said it was impressive that you could block that attack despite the Sovereign Blood Seal’s suppression. It’s your victory,” Long Chen replied with a calm smile.

The Sovereign Blood Seal had a natural suppressive effect on all dragon race members, enough to immobilize most just from its sheer presence. But Mo Yang had withstood it, facing the suppression head-on without showing any signs of fear or weakness.

This ability to resist the Sovereign Blood Seal’s will impressed even Long Chen. After all, as his own power grew, so too did his mastery of the Sovereign Blood Seal.

The Sovereign Blood Seal drew its power from an unrivaled supreme will. If gods dared to block it, it would slay gods. If the heavens sought to obstruct it, it would destroy the heavens. This was no ordinary force; it was a will so commanding that even the laws of the universe bowed before it.

Despite Long Chen's modest explanation, most of those present could hardly process anything beyond the thunderous echo of two words: Sovereign Blood Seal.

“Was that move really the Sovereign Blood Seal?” asked one of the monstrous geniuses, his voice quivering with disbelief.

“If you’re curious, I can teach it to you,” replied Long Chen casually. “You’ll know once you try it.”

“You’ll teach it to us?!” exclaimed Mo Yang.

Even Mo Yang’s composure broke for a moment, his excitement mirrored by every heavenly genius present.

The Sovereign Blood Seal was not just any divine ability; it was the apex technique of the sovereign dragon race, once cultivated by their ancestors. But ever since the sovereign dragon race had vanished, this legacy had been lost to history.

After all, they were not members of the sovereign dragon race. The Sovereign Blood Seal was something they could study and cultivate, but without the sovereign bloodline, they couldn’t integrate it into their essence. As a result, they were unable to pass it down through their bloodline or Spiritual Strength, making its legacy forever out of reach.

Hearing that Long Chen was going to pass down the Sovereign Blood Seal to them, they were incredibly excited. Some nearly rushed forward to embrace him. Whatever disdain or doubt they had harbored toward him evaporated, replaced by pure reverence and admiration.

Even Mo Ying and the others were visibly moved. The Sovereign Blood Seal was a secret art of the sovereign dragon race. Even in ancient times, they only passed it down to the most loyal, most talented experts of the dragon race.

“Long Chen, won’t transmitting the Sovereign Blood Seal to everyone be a betrayal of the sovereign dragon race’s will?” asked Xie Qianzhong.

His words cast a shadow over the moment. While Long Chen might have earned the approval of the sovereign dragon race to wield this secret art, teaching it freely was another matter entirely. What if the sovereign dragon race returned one day and discovered this? Such an act could be seen as a grave violation of their trust.

Mo Ying and the others nodded solemnly. This matter was too great. The sovereign dragon race might have vanished for countless eons, but their disappearance didn’t mean they were truly gone.

If one day, the sovereign dragon race returned to unify the dragon race, Long Chen’s decision to spread their sacred technique would be viewed as heresy. It wouldn’t just bring trouble to him—it would endanger anyone who had learned the Sovereign Blood Seal from him. Such an act could spark catastrophic consequences for the entire dragon lineage.

The excited dragon experts felt doused by ice water. The Sovereign Blood Seal was a divine ability that symbolized the sovereignty and pride of the sovereign dragons. Could such a profound legacy truly be shared so easily without consequences?

“It’s fine. Since I’ve learned it, it’s mine. I have the freedom to pass it down to anyone,” said Long Chen confidently.

He had deliberately revealed the name Sovereign Blood Seal and even teased the idea of sharing it with everyone. Throughout it all, the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign hadn’t said a word. Clearly, it was tacitly approving of it.

Though the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign had often expressed its disappointment in its descendants, even speaking ruthlessly about them, Long Chen understood that beneath those harsh words lay a deeper sentiment. They were still its bloodline. The Dragon Sovereign had no desire to see them annihilated, nor would it oppose their improvement.

Moreover, the Sovereign Blood Seal wasn’t something that had been gifted to Long Chen by the Dragon Sovereign. He had stumbled upon its mysteries while exploring the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art’s God Slaying Cross.

Even if the sovereign dragon race were to one day challenge him for spreading their technique, they had no grounds to condemn him. Besides, with the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign standing behind him, what was there to fear?

Hearing Long Chen’s words, the crowd erupted into excited cheers. As proud disciples of the dragon race, who wouldn’t want to master the Sovereign Blood Seal?

Long Chen wasted no time. Right in front of the gathered experts, he activated his dragon blood power and began demonstrating the Sovereign Blood Seal. He shared its principles, key techniques, and even pointed out potential taboos. His instruction was thorough and precise, ensuring no detail was overlooked.

The lesson lasted for six hours. Long Chen didn’t hold back, repeating crucial points and patiently explaining areas where mistakes were common. His meticulous guidance ensured everyone could follow along.

These dragon experts were elites among elites, the finest geniuses of their respective bloodlines. They quickly grasped the theoretical framework of the Sovereign Blood Seal. However, understanding it and successfully condensing the seal were two entirely different matters.

The process of condensing the Sovereign Blood Seal was arduous and required both talent and relentless effort. Some of them might never succeed in their lifetime. But even so, learning it was enough to benefit them for a lifetime, as it gave them a great deal of enlightenment.

Long Chen’s generosity left the dragon experts deeply moved, evoking a pang of guilt for their earlier hostility and disdain.

After imparting the Sovereign Blood Seal to them, Long Chen’s tone turned solemn. “The dragon race faces a time of crisis. To survive, we must abandon our prejudices and join forces. Unity is our only chance. First, let me make one thing clear: I have no interest in controlling the Dragon Domain, either now or in the future. After this crisis passes, the leadership of the Dragon Domain will remain your concern. However, to overcome this tribulation, we need unity. I’ll need one among you to take charge of rallying the Dragon Domain’s experts to fight alongside my Dragonblood Legion.”

To Long Chen’s surprise, the response came quickly and unanimously.

“What leader? You are enough. We trust you,” said one of the dragon experts without hesitation.

“That’s right. You were even willing to teach us the Sovereign Blood Seal. Do you think we still have any doubts about you?” asked another.

“It’s true. Picking a leader from among us would only create disputes over the future of the Dragon Domain. But you’re human, so there’s no conflict of interest. It’s better if you lead us.”

“Exactly, picking a new leader would be too difficult and take up too much time. At this moment, we have to be unified. We can discuss it after the crisis.”

These experts were very reasonable. After all, the Dragon Domain had many factions with complicated relationships. Finding a leader everyone could trust was almost impossible.

On the other hand, Long Chen’s power was undeniable, and he had just granted them a priceless technique. His impartiality as a human made him an ideal candidate.

Had it been anyone else—even someone as powerful as Mo Yang—many among the dragon experts would have refused to submit. After all, these peak heavenly geniuses were all prideful existences. Without beating them, they wouldn’t listen to orders. This was a law of the dragon race.

The time it would take for them to compete one by one to determine a leader would be astronomical. Worse, if two contenders were evenly matched, the losing party would likely refuse to concede. The Dragon Domain’s internal strife would only deepen, and the chaos would never end.

Long Chen, however, had bypassed these pitfalls entirely. Sharing the Sovereign Blood Seal had earned him their respect and gratitude. After owing him such a monumental debt, they were willing to follow his lead without question.

At that moment, Mo Ying suddenly froze. After that, a dark green tablet appeared in her hand, its surface flashing urgently. Her expression darkened.

“Our enemies have come.”
