Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 6267 Star Battle Armor

Following Aogu’s roar, the stars around him started to condense into dazzling star diagrams. Each one was like a profound formation, layering upon one another until they fused into his body.

With every new diagram, Aogu’s aura surged, growing wilder and more terrifying. When hundreds of star diagrams finally settled onto him, his aura reached an unprecedented peak.

The ten thousand Daos trembled as though they were being torn apart by sheer force. Black lightning writhed through the sky.

This wild aura was so terrifying that even the leaders of the Golden Winged Heavenly Devil race paled.

“Is this... the power of a true nine star heir? The unrivaled warriors of the starry sky? This is too terrifying!” gasped the two-headed man, shuddering.

BOOM!

The void exploded as a violent qi wave swept out. When it settled, everyone saw Aogu covered in a layer of radiant starry armor.

The armor was formed entirely of star diagrams. Though illusory in appearance, it radiated the indomitable aura of unbreakable steel. To onlookers, it was no different from a true divine armor set.

With the support of this armor, Aogu’s aura transformed completely. He gave off a terrifying pressure that scared even experts like the two-headed man.

Compared to Aogu clad in Star Battle Armor, Long Chen looked frail and insignificant in his Starry Sky Battle Robe.

“Senior Aogu has summoned his Star Battle Armor! Even for us, this is a first!” one nine star heir shouted excitedly.

The other nine star heirs looked at him worshipfully. Clearly, none of them was capable of cultivating the Star Battle Armor successfully.

While looking at Long Chen coldly, Aogu mocked, “Complete mastery over the Star Cloud Steps is what makes you arrogant? Then let me show you a true divine ability of the nine star line—the Star Battle Armor! Judging from the fluctuations of your battle robe, you don’t even know how to use it properly. At best, it gives you a passive defensive boost. Someone like you can’t even be considered a true nine star heir, so what qualifications do you have to act arrogant before me?”

The next moment, Aogu’s battle armor blazed with light, and the star diagrams on it melded together. A powerful aura gushed out.

“Today, I’ll teach a frog at the bottom of a well what true power is!”

BOOM!

The void beneath Aogu’s feet collapsed as he shot forward, blazing like a star. His speed skyrocketed with the Star Battle Armor.

One instant he was far away, the next he was right in front of Long Chen, his armored fist smashing down.

He’s faster now!

Long Chen’s pupils shrank. Previously, when they both used the Star Cloud Steps, their speeds were equal. But now, Aogu’s speed had surpassed Long Chen’s. Even worse, the speed of his fist was astonishing—so fast that Long Chen could only react on instinct, crossing his arms before his chest.

BOOM!

Starlight erupted like a tidal wave, and Long Chen was smashed into the ground. He tore a massive ditch through the ground before finally coming to a stop.

“Long Chen!”

Qi Ying cried out involuntarily, while Ming Yu’s face turned pale. Even someone as powerful as Long Chen seemed helpless before that punch.

“Long Chen’s probably going to die here,” said that golden-horned man in shock.

Long Chen was so powerful, but he couldn’t even take one punch from Aogu. The difference was staggering.

The red-haired man explained, “Nine star heirs are split into four tiers. Long Chen is the weakest Mortal-tier heir, while Aogu is the second-highest Earth-tier heir. Their inheritances are completely different. The gap is as vast as heaven and earth. Clearly, Aogu’s divine abilities and cultivation method are stronger. This is not something Long Chen can overcome. Everyone, prepare yourselves. Once Long Chen dies, we’ll have to run. Otherwise, none of us will survive,”

They were mortal enemies with the nine star line. Once Aogu finished Long Chen, his killing intent would turn elsewhere—whether on the Shadow Devil Bat race or them.

But that didn’t matter. They couldn’t gamble on it. If not for their burning desire to witness more of a nine star heir’s power, they would have already fled.

After all, nine star heirs had vanished from the world for countless years. Hence, to see one fighting with their own eyes was an opportunity so rare it bordered on legend. Gaining even the slightest insight into such power could benefit them immensely.

That was the only reason they risked staying here a bit longer.

They watched as a massive mound of earth rose behind Long Chen, the ground torn apart by his charge. At last, he came to a halt within the earthen heap.

“What power... It seems the divine abilities of the nine stars that I’ve inherited are nothing more than the tip of the iceberg,” Long Chen muttered.

As he wiped the blood from his lips, his eyes blazed with fighting spirit.

BOOM!

The next moment, the earthen mound exploded, and Long Chen’s figure slowly rose into the air.

“What?!”

Seeing his great condition, everyone gasped.

With such a devastating punch, they had expected him to be crippled at the very least, if not outright killed.

Even the other nine star heirs were shaken, their jaws dropping. They knew better than others what the Star Battle Armor truly signified—and what it meant for Aogu’s strike.

Long Chen’s gaze lingered on the armor cloaking Aogu, and his expression changed. As though he had grasped some profound truth, he started muttering to himself.

“Use core astral energy as the body. Carve star diagrams as formations around the flesh. Guide them with soul essence, anchor them with essence blood, mobilize them with qi—merge all three into one. The star source is the body, the star diagram the pathway. One within, one without. One Yin, one Yang. Merge essence, qi, and spirit into one, feed them into the star source and star diagram. Carry Yin, hold Yang, the flow of Yin and Yang gives birth to life...”

While the crowd was utterly baffled by his words, Aogu froze, sweat beading on his brow.

What Long Chen was reciting touched upon one of the Star Battle Armor’s most critical principles. Though there were slight deviations from what Aogu had learned, the fact that Long Chen had started unraveling its laws after a single glance filled Aogu with both shock and fury.

To glimpse the essence of such a divine ability in an instant? What kind of terrifying comprehension was this? What kind of monster stood before him?

“You’re spouting nonsense! An ant like you cannot possibly comprehend the Star Battle Armor!” Aogu roared.

The next moment, the star diagrams on his armor seemed to come to life, and he transformed into a streak of astral lightning filled with killing intent, charging at Long Chen.
