Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 6110 Explosive Attack

A divine gate opened within the starry sea, and astral energy poured out like a raging river.

That explosive power surged like billions of wild horses stampeding across the heavens, shaking the very world to its core.

When the energy reached Long Chen, Long Chen felt like he was about to burst. Gritting his teeth, he slowly raised Evilmoon.

Evilmoon rumbled ominously, blood-colored divine light tearing through the sky like a blade of judgment.

“Don’t prank me, or I’m going to die today,” said Long Chen solemnly.

“Don’t worry, I can endure however much energy you have! Pour it in!” shouted Evilmoon.

The starry river howled, crashing into Long Chen. Evilmoon then transformed into a heaven-piercing blade.

Behind Long Chen, a colossal whirlpool appeared, drawing in the stars. One by one, they lit up on Evilmoon. As more and more stars manifested, an apocalyptic divine might ripped the sky apart.

“Split the Heavens!”

Long Chen roared and swung Evilmoon. Then, a starry river fell, transforming into a saber-image that covered the sky.

“No!”

The two Lifehunter Sovereign Lords paled. With no other way, they merged their three Sovereign bodies into a single, massive one. All their power converged into their blades.

BOOM!

The starry river exploded. The impact shattered the swords of those two Sovereign Lords and sent them tumbling back.

"Why did you unleash it early?!" Evilmoon roared.

Long Chen stood amidst the ruins, panting. His hair was disheveled, while his divine ring and starry sea had vanished. He clutched his mangled right arm.

"I had no choice. Any later, and my arm would have exploded," Long Chen growled.

Even the gentlest gate—the Life Gate—unleashed explosive power. His body simply couldn’t endure it for long.

Just as Long Zhantian had warned: Long Chen sat atop a mountain of gold but didn’t have a way to spend it.

The two Sovereign Lords coughed up blood, their bodies covered in cracks. That one attack had nearly killed them.

What frightened them even more was the lingering astral energy invading their bodies, continuing to corrode them from within.

“Run!”

The two exchanged a look and turned to flee. Even third Heavenstage Sovereign Lords were terrified by such power.

But just as they tried to escape, a sea of dragon scales blocked their path.

They roared and attacked the petals. Normally, their power would have shredded such defenses.

However, they had exhausted their Sovereign flames, and Long Chen’s astral energy ate them from the inside. They forced the petals back with one punch, only for them to return immediately.

Within a few exchanges, the Sovereign Lords were too drained to continue. Their bodies trembled with exhaustion and despair.

“Brat, we’ll drag you down with us!”

The two suddenly started to swell, preparing to self-detonate as they charged toward Long Chen.

“Did I say that you could blow yourselves up?” Long Chen snorted.

Seven-colored divine light bloomed in his palm, and Evilmoon shot forward, wrapped in that sacred glow.

With the power of his Supreme Blood, Long Chen sent Evilmoon clean through their bodies. The two instantly deflated like ruptured sacks, their Sovereign qi vanishing.

After that, Evilmoon’s petals gathered and sliced them open.

Suddenly, a palm stretched out of the flower petals and blew apart one of the elders’ heads.

“Soulsearch!”

This time, Long Chen frowned. The elder’s soul restrictions were too strong, so he couldn’t read anything.

“Again!”

He proceeded to destroy the second elder’s head. This time, a few fragments appeared in Long Chen’s mind, but they only concerned this minor world. Nothing useful.

After the two Sovereign Lords were dead, Long Chen collapsed to the ground, utterly spent.

"Damn that spatial domain. It’s absolutely hateful," he muttered through gritted teeth.

If not for that domain, he wouldn’t be so drained.

"If only I could do what my dad does and break through it... But I can only fight head-on. My body can’t even handle the power of a single gate."

It was that spatial domain that made third Heavenstage Sovereign Lords so troublesome. Without it, Long Chen could slay them with ease.

Lei Linger and Huo Linger had also been affected by that suppression, unable to unleash their full power. Otherwise, this battle would have ended much sooner.

"It’s not possible for you to break the domain right now," Evilmoon said. "But once I condense the Blood Moon Divine Runes, it won’t be a problem."

“Speaking of which, do you want to explain what these blood moon divine runes are?” asked Long Chen.

“They are the core runes of my second state. Once all my scales have absorbed enough blood soul energy, I can form the runes. When they appear, it means I’ve truly reached my second state. I’ll no longer be restricted—I’ll become god-like. Well, I’m not entirely sure what that means, but once the blood moon divine runes appear, you can brand your soul into my scales. Then we’ll be completely one. Your soul will be mine, and mine yours—"

"Tch, don’t say it like that. It’s disgusting," Long Chen interrupted.

Ignoring Long Chen’s remark, Evilmoon continued, “At that time, you’ll only need a thought to unleash my power. Then... hehehe... I’ll show you what it means to wield a power that terrifies the world.”

“You still haven’t reached the point of condensing the blood moon divine runes even after so long?” asked Long Chen.

“Based on this pace, if we destroy another ten tribes like this one, it should be enough,” said Evilmoon.

“Ten?!”

Long Chen’s face twitched. He had just annihilated an entire minor world, and Evilmoon had devoured all their blood soul energy—including three third Heavenstage Sovereign Lords. This was an immensely powerful faction.

And it would take ten more of them? Just how many people did he need to kill?

Suddenly, the ground shuddered. A terrifying aura rippled through the void.

"Hm... devil creatures?"

Long Chen’s expression changed. He had just finished a large-scale battle and was in no shape for another fight.

But then he realized something—the devil qi wasn’t coming toward him. It was heading elsewhere.

“Something’s up.”

Long Chen narrowed his eyes. Without a sound, he slipped into the shadows and started to follow the devil qi.
