Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 6385 Huo Yan

A figure in black armor, wielding a black halberd, emerged before Long Chen.

It was Cang Lu. He resembled a devil god from hell, with Bloodfiend Qi swirling around him.

As the Bloodfiend Halberd absorbed these lifeforms’ blood soul energy, its aura started growing bloodthirsty and wild. It was innately an evil weapon, and even Long Chen’s slave seal couldn’t change its nature.

However, its new runes restrained it. Now, it could only devour the blood soul energy of non–nine-heavens experts to grow stronger.

The moment Cang Lu appeared, he radiated a powerful aura. This was the domineering presence of the Bloodfiend Devil Lord.

A single wave of his halberd sent black qi sweeping outward like a crescent moon, reducing countless experts to blood mist.

“Heavens, Long Chen actually has such a terrifying ally?!”

Cries of shock rang out. Cang Lu had been hidden in the void beside Long Chen all along. Now that he appeared, he tore through the enemy with ease. Even experts with 997 Sovereign flames were mere chickens before him.

Cang Lu cleared a path with the Bloodfiend Halberd. Outsider experts collapsed, blood and flesh raining down.

Long Chen nodded. Cang Lu was incredibly powerful—well worth the effort of refining him into a puppet. Most importantly, he had not even used his Sovereign flames or dark energy.

With each kill, the Bloodfiend Halberd absorbed more blood soul energy, strengthening both the weapon and the wielder.

“Idiots of the nine heavens, scram! This isn’t a place you can reach! Find somewhere else!” A growl rang out from ahead, like thunder booming through the air.

The growl carried a violent power that assaulted their souls. Many experts staggered, nearly losing consciousness. What kind of existence could directly attack their souls without even triggering their mental defenses? Furthermore, it was done with just a growl.

If this expert focused fully, wouldn’t a single thought be enough to wipe them out?

That voice came from around the mouth of the volcano. The speaker never revealed himself; the growl alone was a warning to Long Chen. Clearly, he had occupied part of the volcano’s mouth and would tolerate no intruders.

Long Chen simply ignored this warning and continued onward. No one dared to block him. Cang Lu opened up the path, while the outsider experts fled in a flurry.

However, the experts of the nine heavens trailing behind no longer dared to go any further. They knew the unseen speaker was a supremely terrifying existence. At any moment, a heaven-shaking battle could erupt, and if they were caught in the shockwaves, they would die.

For now, Long Chen’s presence drew all attention, giving them a chance to quietly absorb the Grand Dao qi in the perimeter. If the situation soured, they could flee.

Earlier, they had fought to climb higher because the closer they came to the mouth of the volcano, the purer the Grand Dao qi became. Furthermore, the enemies back then had seemed manageable, so they had dared to gamble.

However, the experts here were on an entirely different level—terrifying beings they could not deal with. So, it was better to stay where they were and absorb the pure Grand Dao qi. After all, if they died, all their efforts would be for nothing.

They watched as Long Chen advanced with steady, unhurried steps. Though many of them bore grudges against him, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of reverence in their hearts. Ultimately, Long Chen was an expert from the nine heavens, and they did wish for him to seize a spot at the mouth of the volcano.

“Fool, did you not hear Lord Huo Yan’s words? If you want to die so badly, then just die!” shouted someone.

The space in front of Long Chen twisted. As a fiery heat rolled out, a figure wrapped in flames appeared.

“A second-step peak Human Emperor!”

Startled cries broke out. The fiery man bore 998 Sovereign flames.

The three steps at the peak of the Human Emperor realm corresponded to the final three Sovereign flames. 997 flames marked the first step, and 998 flames were the second step.

This fiery man’s Sovereign might was stunning, making countless experts stare at him in despair. This was a level that countless experts had given up on reaching.

He was tall and muscular, with golden bull horns jutting from his head. The flames around him made him look like a meteor shooting at Long Chen and Cang Lu.

His aura erupted wildly as he charged over, his power continuously growing.

“Die!” the golden-horned man roared.

Sovereign flames converged on his fist as he smashed it at Cang Lu.

BOOM!

Cang Lu snorted. Without even drawing his halberd, he threw out a punch. The clash sent a shockwave tearing through the air. The golden-horned man spat blood and was blasted backward.

“What?!”

All the spectators were shocked, staring in disbelief at Cang Lu. How could this man easily blow back someone with 998 Sovereign flames?

Coughing blood, the golden-horned man seethed in rage. He then raised his hand, summoning an enormous saber. As he gripped it with both hands, he poured his Sovereign flames into it and roared as he swung it.

Cang Lu raised the Bloodfiend Halberd this time. With a casual swing, he shattered the golden-horned man’s arms. The saber flew off in a streak of light.

Now, his fury became terror. The golden-horned finally realized that his judgment of the situation was wrong. Just as he turned to flee, two hands clamped down on his horns.

“These aren’t bad. I’ll take them!”

Blood sprayed as Long Chen tore the golden horns from the man’s skull. His scream echoed through the battlefield.

“You dare to humiliate my attendant? You really are courting death!”

Just then, a thunderous growl erupted from above. The next moment, the space beside Long Chen collapsed, and a massive flaming hand slammed down at him.

A blurry figure slowly emerged, radiating oppressive heat.

“A third-step peak Human Emperor!” gasped the crowd.
