Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 6277 Absorbing Sovereign Flames

Another thunderous dragon roar shook the battlefield. The fluctuations of dragon qi grew closer and closer.

“Not good! It’s the Heaven Dragon Law Domain’s dragons!” exclaimed Long Chen.

The moment Long Chen sensed them, his expression changed. With a few flashes of the Star Cloud Steps, he vanished.

Although his Supreme Bone had yet to recover, simply channeling astral energy to hasten his pace was not an issue. Each step was like a spatial teleportation, and in just a few strides, he reached the battlefield.

The Heaven Dragon Law Domain’s warriors were fighting a group of sinister dragon experts wreathed in black qi, their auras pulsing with demonic fluctuations.

Over seventy dragon warriors stood together. At their forefront was the blue-robed, fair-skinned Hai Mingkong, one of the Heaven Dragon Law Domain’s top ten heavenly geniuses.

Long Chen’s eyes narrowed—Hai Mingkong’s body was blazing with over seven hundred Sovereign flames. In his hands, an ice-blue bone trident radiated endless water qi as he clashed with a terrifying foe.

The foe’s aura was wild and sinister. Bull horns sprouted from his head, bone wings stretched from his back, and a long whip-like tail lashed through the void like a venomous serpent, constantly forcing Hai Mingkong onto the defensive. Even more shocking—this evil dragon expert was an eight-hundred-flame divine sprout.

Despite both being members of the dragon race, the contrast was stark. Hai Mingkong’s aura was sacred and majestic, while his opponent’s was wild and demonic. The sacred energy of Hai Mingkong suppressed the other, yet the power gap was so great he was barely holding on.

Again and again, Hai Mingkong sought openings. But even when he struck at weak points, he could not inflict a fatal blow.

Hundreds of evil dragon experts surrounded Hai Mingkong. Whether it was in terms of power or numbers, they had an absolute advantage. But it seemed they were in no rush to kill Hai Mingkong and the others. Instead, they seemed intent on grinding down their strength, as though they planned to capture them alive.

“Hand over the Sovereign Flame Dragon Crystal, and I swear on my dragon soul to let you leave safely,” roared the evil dragon leader as he battered Hai Mingkong back.

“The oath of your evil dragon race isn’t worth more than a fart.” A languid voice cut through the clamor.

Hai Mingkong’s eyes lit up with joy, and the other dragon warriors also trembled with relief.

The moment the evil dragon leader saw Long Chen, his pupils instantly shrank. He recognized Long Chen. After all, everyone had seen him damage the law scales of this world.

“Yao Feng!” the evil dragon leader shouted.

From the crowd, a demonic expert with a vertical third eye moved. He had five hundred Sovereign flames and wasn’t very remarkable among the crowd. Quietly leaving the melee, he streaked toward Long Chen.

Long Chen only looked on with calm indifference. Seeing that apathy, the demonic man smiled sinisterly. He didn’t summon his manifestation—he thought he’d found prey.

But as he neared Long Chen, his aura abruptly surged. In an instant, his five hundred Sovereign flames roared into seven hundred.

He had been concealing his true strength with a secret art, waiting for the perfect moment. He had intended to join forces with his leader to capture Hai Mingkong alive.

Yet, the instant he unsealed his power, there was the faintest hitch—the unavoidable stagger that came before unleashing his divine ability.

And that was enough.

The next moment, violet scales covered Long Chen’s palm, and a violet cross ignited on it, smacking that expert in the face.

BOOM!

The demonic man’s head exploded like a melon. His body tumbled lifelessly through the void.

“Even a seven-hundred-flame divine sprout wants to play the pig to eat the tiger? Why did you try such a funny thing? You really were a pig,” said Long Chen apathetically as he stared at that headless corpse.

The evil dragon expert’s disguise was similar to a seal, and it had undone him. Even if the delay was but a blink, with Long Chen’s reaction speed and battle instincts, it was more than enough to kill this evil dragon expert three times over.

But then—something strange happened.

As the evil dragon expert’s Sovereign flames flickered and dimmed, Long Chen’s dragon blood suddenly converged on his Supreme Bone, forming a tiny whirlpool.

At this sight, Long Chen’s heart trembled. He could feel those Sovereign flames being devoured by the whirlpool on his Supreme Bone!

“What...?”

Long Chen couldn’t believe it. Over seven hundred specks of light merged within his Supreme Bone, compressed into a single clump.

At that moment, his violet blood and Supreme Blood resonated, rushing toward the Supreme Bone as well. Together, they swallowed the clump of Sovereign flames.

The whirlpool vanished.

And then—new Sovereign flames ignited within his three bloodlines.

“One... two... three...” Long Chen counted, stunned. Each bloodline had condensed fifty-six Sovereign flames.

He stood there dazed. He had actually condensed Sovereign flames!

For so long, he believed it to be impossible. The karmic luck of the nine star line, the violet blood race, and even the Jiuli race, had always avoided him. Perhaps it was due to not being pureblooded, but their karmic luck had never condensed on him.

Once, he had a single chance—to instantly condense the ultimate limit of Sovereign flames when the Sovereign King Dragon Crown descended. However, he had refused to do so, unwilling to enslave the dragon race for his own gain.

Now, with his Supreme Bone awakening, Long Chen had gained a heaven-defying ability: the power to devour the Sovereign flames of the dragon race and refine them into his own.

His dragon blood swallowed the Sovereign flames, which his Supreme Bone then compressed. After that, the energy split into his three bloodlines, condensing into Sovereign flames unique to him.

Sensing the pure sacred energy within his newly forged Sovereign flames, Long Chen froze in astonishment.

“This is really heaven-defying,” he muttered.

He had nearly abandoned hope of ever condensing Sovereign flames, yet his Supreme Bone had effortlessly resolved the problem. Still, over seven hundred Sovereign flames had only yielded fifty-six for his three bloodlines.

Though few in number, the Sovereign flames were incomparably pure. Each one was denser, more terrifying, than the flames of the man he had slain.

“Kill!”

Before Long Chen could fully digest this revelation, the leader of the evil dragon race sent Hai Mingkong flying and lunged at Long Chen. Eight hundred Sovereign flames ignited, and the roar of an evil dragon shook heaven and earth.

“I wonder how many Sovereign flames I’ll gain if I kill him,” Long Chen muttered, his eyes gleaming with razor intent.
