Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 6303 Four Hundred Sovereign Flames

A Divine Sovereign magical item was destroyed with a wave of Long Chen’s hand. With another wave, a terrifying nine-hundred-flame divine sprout was caught in his grasp.

In the entire heaven region’s battlefield, nine-hundred-flame divine sprouts were the strongest existences. But against Long Chen, they didn’t have the slightest ability to resist.

Qing Yi had once clashed with this very opponent. Even though she had been at a disadvantage due to her weapon, she knew deep down that even without counting that aspect, her odds of victory were slim.

However, the instant Long Chen appeared, this seemingly unbeatable foe was crushed with ease. The contrast was so stark that she found it difficult to believe her own eyes.

The other Netherdragon experts quickly realized the danger. Some immediately turned and tried to flee.

However, before they could escape, a blood-colored barrier rose up behind them, sealing off the entire world. They were trapped like prey in a cage.

“Don’t kill me!” their young leader cried out through his soul as Long Chen’s hand tightened around his throat.

Violet dragon scales rippled across Long Chen’s hand, and with a surge of power, he shattered his opponent’s head.

Seeing this, Qing Yi was dumbfounded. She had assumed Long Chen had captured the young leader of the Netherdragon race alive to interrogate him. If Long Chen was only going to kill him, why not finish it with his first strike?

What she didn’t know was that to seize this man’s karmic luck, Long Chen had to slay him using the dragon race’s divine abilities. However, killing an expert of this level with dragon blood alone was nearly impossible. So, Long Chen had no choice but to subdue the target with astral energy first before executing him.

Long Chen’s figure flashed. After using astral energy in his right hand to restrain his prey, he slaughtered them with dragon blood energy in his left hand.

His movements were ghostlike, impossible to follow. In just a few flashes, the sky was filled with blood, and every Netherdragon expert lay dead.

When Long Chen returned to his original spot, the air was still thick with drifting blood mist. His speed alone was enough to instill terror.

After his battle with Aogu and the condensation of three new Astral Hegemon Body manifestations, Long Chen’s comprehension of the Star Cloud Steps had advanced once more. His speed had reached such a terrifying level that even eight-hundred-flame divine sprouts couldn’t lift a finger against him.

And now, in their fear and panic, none of his enemies had the chance to resist.

Seeing how powerful he was, Qing Yi was overjoyed. Now that Long Chen was here, Di Mengyao and their dragon race would be safe.

After devouring the Netherdragon experts’ Sovereign flame energy, Long Chen’s Sovereign flames grew until there were 413.

The instant his Sovereign flames broke through four hundred, he felt his dragon blood grow denser and more forceful. A vast, slumbering power within him stirred as though on the verge of awakening.

“That’s what I thought. The Dragon Sovereign’s bloodline cannot be ordinary! It couldn’t possibly be weak. So, Senior’s essence blood must be awakened by Sovereign flames, hehe!” Long Chen chuckled, clenching his fists.

Sensing the power coursing through his Sovereign flames, he realized that these four hundred flames were no weaker than a seven-hundred-flame divine sprout.

In other words, even without using astral energy, just relying on his dragon blood and his combat experience, Long Chen should be able to easily slay experts on this level.

And this was just with four hundred Sovereign flames. What about five hundred? Six hundred? Or even nine hundred? The thought made even Long Chen’s imagination falter.

What delighted Long Chen the most was that his violet blood and seven-color Supreme Blood had also grown to possess over four hundred Sovereign flames. His dragon blood was quite generous to share this energy with them.

For now, there’s no need to think about the Starry Sky Battle Robe. Condensing Sovereign flames is my priority!

With four hundred Sovereign flames, he could feel his cultivation surging, the faint signs of a breakthrough stirring within him.

For most people, Sovereign flames had little to do with their cultivation realm. But for Long Chen, every increase in flames directly fueled his realm. Despite continuously consuming medicinal pills, he had remained stagnant—until now. He was finally on the verge of breaking through to the eleventh Heavenstage of the Human Emperor realm.

“Lord Long Chen!”

Qing Yi and the others quickly gathered toward Long Chen, looking completely reinvigorated just from his existence.

“Let’s talk while we walk,” instructed Long Chen.

One of the divine wing owl dragon race’s experts then revealed his true body. He possessed seven hundred Sovereign flames. During their desperate retreat, with everyone shielding him, he had used his race’s secret art to forcefully advance into the Divine Emperor realm, allowing him to manifest his true form.

If not for his sacrifice, his companions would have perished long before they managed to regroup with Qing Yi.

In dragon form, he spread his wings and carried everyone, flying off. Although he was already weary, he persevered and flew at top speed.

“Lord Long Chen, Miss Mengyao is in danger...”

Only now did Qing Yi have a chance to explain what was going on to him. In truth, this was all caused by Di Mengyao.

Di Mengyao was truly worthy of being the dragon race’s greatest cultivation genius. Upon entering the heaven region’s battlefield, she had obtained the legacy of an ancient ancestor, and her Sovereign flames had surged without pause—soaring all the way to 996.

When Long Chen heard this, even he was shaken. Di Mengyao was truly a monster. Her speed of advancement was terrifying.

Back in the Dragon Domain, she had already stood at the peak of talent. That alone wasn’t too shocking when measured against the entire heaven region’s battlefield—after all, Long Biluo had condensed even more Sovereign flames than her.

But now, in such a short span, Di Mengyao had actually condensed 996 Sovereign flames. She was only three steps away from the peak.

Qing Yi quickly explained: Di Mengyao had stumbled upon the blessing of a sovereign dragon race’s ancestor. With that legacy’s support, her power skyrocketed. She intended to use the last vestiges of that blessing to condense another Sovereign flame.

According to Qing Yi, the last three Sovereign flames were incredibly difficult to condense. By then, most of the ancestor’s energy had already been consumed. What little remained was just enough for her last push.

However, no one had expected that this ancient legacy had long ago been marked by the Netherdragon race. Although Di Mengyao arrived first and seized it, the Netherdragons discovered her breakthrough and immediately summoned their forces. Just as she was about to condense her 997th flame, they launched a vicious assault.

To make matters worse, the Netherdragon race wasn’t acting alone. They had secretly joined hands with the vile dragon race from the outside world. Together, they descended upon Di Mengyao.

The battle shook heaven and earth. Countless powerful figures appeared, drawn by the disturbance. Rumors spread like wildfire.

When the dragon race’s experts heard this news, they immediately rushed over and summoned reinforcements. Qing Yi was one of them.

But even she was shocked to find that, despite her strength, she couldn’t even approach the battlefield’s core before being surrounded by enemies.

Eventually, Di Mengyao realized that the situation wouldn’t improve. This kind of warfare was not suitable for the dragon race, as they had not brought that many members into the heaven region’s battlefield. If this continued, their side would definitely be wiped out.

Hence, Di Mengyao ordered everyone to break through the encirclement and flee on their own.

As for herself, with the lingering blessing of her ancestor, she could still endure for a time.

Helpless to aid her, Qing Yi withdrew to gather some forces to aid her. As long as Qing Yi could refine the Azure Dragon Pearl, she should be able to help her out.

But on her way back, she was ambushed—leading to the battle that Long Chen had just interrupted. If not for his timely arrival, their fate would have been grim.

“The Netherdragon race really does refuse to die. This time, I’ll make sure the debt these traitors owe us is paid in full.”

A cold glint flashed in Long Chen’s eyes as Qing Yi finished her account.
