Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 6738 Qi Current Grand Ceremony

“Senior, don’t misunderstand! Our Spirit Mark Barbarian Ox race is holding a grand gathering! This has nothing to do with you!” the elder hastily explained.

He was unable to see through Long Chen’s true strength, but based on his years of experience, he guessed that the young man in front of him could wipe them all out if he wished.

Moreover, the fact that Long Chen had tossed out a high-grade medicinal pill like garbage showed that his status was definitely extraordinary.

A person with both power and wealth shouldn’t be offended lightly.

Also, since the elder still didn’t know what Long Chen’s goal was, he had to act carefully.

“I’m sorry for my rudeness. May I know what to call you?” asked the elder.

“Long Chen.”

Long Chen did not bother concealing it. In the Primal Chaos World, not many people would recognize the name. And even if they did, he would not hide it. Every choice had its pros and cons, and no one knew whether exposing his identity would be a good thing or a bad thing.

If Long Chen’s old friends had arrived in the Primal Chaos World first and learned that he had come, they would definitely find him. That way, they could share information, and he would learn more about this world.

“Senior Long Chen! Please come with me!”

As the elder led the way, he spoke in a lowered voice. “Your timing is quite coincidental. You arrived just before our race’s Qi Current Grand Ceremony. Our younger elites are gathering to compete for qualification to enter the Heavenly Ox Sovereign Domain. Only those who pass may go on to contend with the geniuses of other races...”

Through this elder, Long Chen learned that the ox demon race was vast, with countless branches spread across the Primal Chaos World.

Still, the Spirit Mark Barbarian Ox race ranked below average among tens of thousands of branches. Whether they would even secure spots in the ceremony would be up to their luck.

This city was the largest settlement of their branch. Yet, the broken-down buildings spoke plainly—their race was in decline.

These disciples were excited. There were tens of thousands of them, but only a few thousand had awakened their essence runes.

“Our ox race has three divine branches,” the elder continued smoothly. “The Golden Horn, Rock Crystal, and Fullmoon divine races. They are the supreme existences of our lineage. The Fullmoon race, in particular, produced a Heavenly Sovereign during the primal chaos era and fought alongside the dragon race against the outsider devils. Our Spirit Mark Barbarian Ox race follows the Fullmoon lineage... though, as you can see, our current strength is not impressive.”

It went without saying that the elder was skilled. As he spoke, he brought up how they had a powerful backer behind them to intimidate Long Chen.

At the same time, he expressed weakness to suggest that bullying them would be beneath someone of Long Chen’s standing. If they did offend him, they would apologize. That was the tactic this elder was most skilled at.

“The Fullmoon race? The name sounds familiar...” said Long Chen.

“The Fullmoon race is—”

“Niu Shantang, what are you doing?!” a sharp voice interrupted. “How dare you bring a human here?!”

A Divine Sovereign who had been disciplining the disciples noticed Long Chen’s sudden appearance.

All the young disciples turned to look at Long Chen, astonished. It seemed that it was almost unheard of for a human to appear here.

Before the elder called Niu Shantang could explain, Long Chen raised a hand.

The shouting Divine Sovereign was instantly lifted into the air, grabbed by an irresistible force. A faint violet hand closed around him.

The surrounding experts erupted in anger, their auras flaring. The disciples, in particular, were incensed.

Niu Shantang jumped in terror and hastily begged, “Senior Long Chen, please have mercy!”

Just then, a violet ripple spread from Long Chen and sent the surrounding experts tumbling away.

“Human, you dare to bully my Spirit Mark Barbarian Ox race? You have big guts!” A woman’s voice rang out.

Then, a mighty battle-ax sliced through the violet ripple.

“Oh?”

Long Chen was a bit surprised. A Sovereign Lord disciple had managed to break his domain.

The muscular woman rushed through the opening she had created and swung a giant battle-ax at Long Chen.

“Interesting,” Long Chen muttered as he flicked his finger.

BOOM!

That woman and her battle-ax instantly flew back, smashing straight through several mountains.

“How dare you?!” Another furious roar rang out.

This time, a golden spear tore through space. It was even stronger than that woman’s attack.

Before the spear could hit Long Chen, he caught it between two fingers.

A white-robed man appeared, his expression completely sour. He struggled to retrieve his spear, only to find that he couldn’t even make it budge with Long Chen’s two fingers pinching it.

“Friend from the human race, how has my Spirit Mark Barbarian Ox race offended you? Just tell me, and we will definitely compensate you. But please do not harm our children!”

Just then, a white-haired elder appeared along with hundreds of Divine Sovereigns.

However, not a single one of them was an acquired divine Sovereign, including the white-haired elder. He was indeed at the peak of the Divine Sovereign realm, but his Blood Qi had already dried up. He was not that powerful.

It was the same approach Niu Shantang had taken—down to the wording. But Long Chen had already achieved his goal by drawing the white-haired elder out.

Long Chen released his grip, and the young man went flying back. The elder suspended in the air was also freed.

Sometimes, force was the fastest language. Everything else was unnecessary. Long Chen had stunned everyone with his power.

Since he had their attention now, he asked, “Do you have any news of the Tiger Venerate line?”

The expressions of the demon race experts changed instantly.
