Nine Star Hegemon Body Art c1-2048
Page 482
This figure was three hundred meters tall, and its body was translucent. It was what had protected them.
Zhong Wuyan’s face was as pale as paper. A blood crystal had appeared on her forehead, and light shone from it.
“This child Wuyan, how could she be so foolish!” The Wang family head was both startled and infuriated.
“This should be a secret art to overdraft her bloodline power, correct?” asked the vice sect master.
“Yes. This technique is extremely harmful to her body, and she can’t maintain it for long. It’s one of her life-protecting techniques, and she absolutely can’t use it unless her life is in danger! This child, when did she become such a fool!” The Wang family head sighed. This child had definitely been spoiled rotten. She didn’t even think about the consequences of her actions.
“You don’t need to be angry. If they always considered every single thing before acting, they wouldn’t be youngsters. They need to mature in desperate straits, or no matter how good their talent is, they won’t be able to grow. Committing mistakes isn’t bad. It’s a must for growth. The real thing to avoid is to have a peerless genius that doesn’t dare to make any mistakes. Then their talent would just be wasted,” said the vice sect master.
The other three family heads didn’t say anything, but inside, they sighed with relief at his words. Although their act could trick others, it couldn’t trick the vice sect master. He merely smiled a bit. That smile was a bit ridiculing.
Long Chen stared closely at that figure behind Zhong Wuyan. He was extremely shocked. How was this technique so terrifying?
Zhong Wuyan icily said, “This is the activation of my bloodline. Although my ancestor has already passed away, through my Spiritual Strength and my bloodline power, it has come to protect its descendants. With my ancestral spirit here, you should know the difference between us!”
Long Chen shook his head. “I really can’t understand you children. Is relying on your ancestors’ power really so worthy of pride? They’ve already died so long ago, but they still have to worry about you like this. You can’t even let their soul rest in peace. If you weren’t even able to defeat me in this kind of situation, would you go back to your family’s ancestral tomb, dig up your ancestors, and then beg them to go fight for you?”
Long Chen didn’t have the slightest good opinion of Zhong Wuyan. Although she might not look bad, she had some screws loose in her head.
“Fuck off!” raged Zhong Wuyan. The huge figure behind her moved. It pointed its palms toward Long Chen, and a scarlet light shone from it.
That light enveloped all the space around Long Chen. Furthermore, it came so quickly that it instantly enveloped him as soon as it moved.
Long Chen felt an immense threat from that light. He slashed his lightning blade at it with his full strength.
BOOM!
The light exploded along with his lightning blade. Long Chen was blown back dozens of meters away.
“What a terrifying attack.” Long Chen was shocked. That attack had been similar to a spiritual attack. His thunderforce was the bane of Spiritual Strength, but his lightning spear had still been destroyed.
“His thunderforce restricts my ancestral spirit. Are you guys just going to watch?” Zhong Wuyan suddenly turned to look at Shui Guanzhi and the others. Their expressions changed slightly. They knew that continuing to conceal their power was impossible.
“Since we can’t keep concealing our power, let’s join hands. We’ll kill Long Chen in one attack.” Shui Guanzhi suddenly smiled sinisterly. He bit one of his fingers and wiped the blood against his forehead. A blood-red mark covered his entire face.
BOOM!
Shui Guanzhi’s water runes seemed to come alive, and they released a torrential battle intent.
Chapter 745 Win At All Costs
A three-hundred-meter water dragon slowly condensed and let out a furious roar. It was as if it was a true dragon.
The dragon was comprised of water runes, but now two red eyes appeared on it that made it look extremely sinister.
Most terrifying of all, when he summoned this water dragon, Shui Guanzhi’s originally handsome face withered, making him appear like a zombie.
Everyone was shocked, and the most uneasy one was Shui Yuncong. Only he knew that Shui Guanzhi had increased the power of his water dragon through his life energy. He was using up his essence blood in exchange for ten times the power.
This was an incredibly vicious technique that would shorten his lifespan. Now that things had progressed to this point, it was no longer an ordinary competition, but a battle to the death.
“This Long Chen really is abominable. If he wasn’t here, things would have never progressed to this point. Since he had ‘already died’ outside, he should never have returned!” Shui Yuncong was clenching his teeth. In his fury, he ended up accidentally saying what he was thinking.
The vice sect master’s expression sank. His gaze was like a blade stabbing into Shui Yuncong. A formless killing intent crashed down on him.
Shui Yuncong suddenly felt all his energy being stripped from his body. He no longer felt any connection to his spiritual yuan. It was like he was an ordinary mortal, and he instantly fell on the ground.
Even the monastery heads around Shui Yuncong were affected. They felt their souls almost flee from their bodies. The Grim Reaper’s sickle was pressed right up against their throats.
“Do you want to say that again?” The vice sect master looked icily at Shui Yuncong.
“Vice sect master, please spare me. Disciple let his mouth go out of control.” Shui Yuncong was absolutely terrified. He knew the vice sect master was truly angered. If he said something wrong again, there really was a real danger of him losing his life.
The vice sect master icily said, “As the head of your family, as well as the leader of nine supermonasteries, don’t you feel ashamed about being so biased and envious? Were all your years wasted? Don’t you like to pose as a brilliant sage with far-reaching foresight? If you have that much ability, why don’t you use it against the Corrupt path? All you know how to do is poison your own people. Why do you want to kill your own disciple just because he is talented? When did your heart become so twisted?”
The vice sect master’s gaze was as sharp as a blade. It looked like he had an urge to immediately kill Shui Yuncong. Shui Yuncong’s sweat instantly drenched his robes.
“When this is over, go into seclusion and reflect upon yourself.”
Shui Yuncong’s expression changed. This was clearly telling him to give up his position as the family head. But he didn’t dare to argue. Who asked him to be so loose-lipped? He had actually said things he should have kept to himself.
“Yes, many thanks for vice sect master’s wisdom!” said Shui Yuncong.
“Then congratulations brother Yuncong. In the future, you’ll be able to live a carefree life of freedom. I truly envy you!” Zhou Tianyi was the first to offer his congratulations. Shui Yuncong almost died of rage.
But he didn’t even have an urge to say anything back. He was incomparably furious, but he didn’t dare to release his fury on the vice sect master. All of this hatred would have to be placed on Long Chen.
Originally, things had been going well. But as soon as Long Chen had appeared, everything had changed. He had even lost his position as the family head.
Although he had already been planning on abdicating his position, there was a large difference between voluntarily and involuntarily giving up his position.
Shui Yuncong didn’t just hate Long Chen, he also hated Shui Wuhen. The only one he didn’t hate was himself.
“Hahaha, good. Then everyone can go all-out. Great Earthen Spirit!” Seeing Zhong Wuyan and Shui Guanzhi release their greatest power, Zhao Wuji laughed and squatted down. Blood-red runes lit up on his hands, and he slammed them onto the ground.
The ground shook as endless runes surged.
A mound slowly rose out of the ground. It continued to rise until
it was three hundred meters high.
A head suddenly appeared on that mound, then limbs and a torso. In the end, it became a huge earthen giant.
That earth giant was covered in shining earth runes. All the earth’s energy was drawn into it. The solid platform even broke around it.
“Since you’ve all brought out your trump cards, I won’t be so shameless as to hold back.” Yue Qianshan’s expression was cold. He focused on his sword. Suddenly, the Heavenly Dao runes behind him disappeared.
His sword began to shine like the sun. A ray of Sword Qi soared, one that made people’s hair stand on end.
“How did he manage to merge the Heavenly Daos with the Sword Dao?!”
No one had ever heard of such a technique. This was definitely something Yue Qianshan had developed himself.
“Apologies, Long Chen. This is my heavenly sword art. You should feel honored to be the first person to die to this technique!” Yue Qianshan pointed his sword at Long Chen. The light from it was blinding, making it so people couldn’t even see his figure anymore.
Long Chen hadn’t expected the four of them to still possess such terrifying trump cards. He was truly shocked. But now he was a bit irritated that the four of them were looking at him as if he were already dead.
“I’ve had enough of your little show-off act. I’ll bring out my true power as well.” Long Chen sneered and put away his lightning blade. A black saber appeared in his hand. This was a middle grade Enchanted item that had come from a Corrupt expert.
A fiendish aura came from it. Although he found it dislikable, it was both heavy and long enough. After all, spirit weapons were not as easy to use as true weapons.
In front of the Four Heavenly Geniuses’ strongest trump cards, he had no choice but to use his full strength. He was slightly nervous, but he was also a bit excited. A boiling battle intent surged within him.
“Kill him!” The four of them had the same thought.
Yue Qianshan was the first to move. His blinding sword stabbed toward Long Chen.
Long Chen’s heart trembled. He finally had to admit that Yue Qianshan was truly terrifying. He had condensed his Heavenly Dao runes into his sword, and his Sword Qi had merged with his sword intent. His power was limitless.
He didn’t take it head-on. The lightning wings behind him flapped, and he rapidly retreated. The lightning wings pushed his speed to the peak, making it so others couldn’t lock onto him.
BOOM! That Sword Qi ended up slashing onto the ground.
“Heavens, the platform was cut apart!” Shocked cries rang out. Up until now, the intense battle hadn’t caused much damage to the platform. But now, a huge ditch was cut into it. It could be seen just how terrifying this Sword Qi was.
But the ditch had only just appeared when it rapidly fused back together. The runes on the platform had completely healed the damage.
Long Chen had only just dodged Yue Qianshan’s attack when a roaring water dragon came at him. It was too big, and Long Chen couldn’t dodge it. He slashed his saber at it.
BOOM! The water dragon was forced back, but it didn’t explode. That shocked Long Chen. It was truly worthy of being an ultimate trump card. Its power was at least ten times greater than before.
Red light split the void. Long Chen had only just forced back the water dragon and had yet to stabilize. There was no way he could dodge this red light.
“Lightning Finger!”
This attack had come from Zhong Wuyan. The red light was not just a physical attack, but a terrifying spiritual attack. An ordinary block would be ineffective.
A bolt of lightning crashed into the red light, releasing blinding light. Their attacks ended up canceling each other out.
“What?!”
Long Chen had only just blocked the red light when a huge fist appeared behind him. This huge fist, which was even bigger than a whole house, ruthlessly smashed into him.
Such a powerful attack had come without any sound or warning. By the time Long Chen noticed it, he couldn’t dodge. He could only circulate his spiritual yuan and use his back to receive it.
BOOM! He smashed into the ground like a shooting star. Intense pain radiated from his back, and he felt like his bones were about to break. He couldn’t help being startled. If he hadn’t summoned the Four Star Battle Armor, such a terrifying attack would have at least heavily injured him.
“Heavens! They really are all monsters! How can he act so nonchalant after receiving such a terrifying attack! Is… is he really a human like us?!”
The disciples felt like they were going crazy. The five of them possessed inconceivable power, which had already surpassed their imaginations.
Let alone them, even the rank one Celestials were pale. They had done their best in cultivating, and although they knew they wouldn’t be able to defeat a rank two Celestial, they had thought that they would at least possess some ability to fight them. At the very least, they should have been able to endure a hundred exchanges.
But as this battle grew more intense, the number of exchanges they estimated they could handle dropped. It went from a hundred, to ten, to three, to one.
Now, they had completely given up on even that. They found that let alone exchanging blows, just the aftershocks from this battle could kill them. They were not even on the same level.
“Just how did Long Chen train his physical body?” The monastery heads were all shocked. This kind of physical body was something they had never even heard of, let alone seen.
Even Zhao Wuji, who claimed to possess a monstrous physical body, the one said to possess the greatest strength in the Xuantian Dao Sect, couldn’t compare to Long Chen.
Long Chen stood up. He saw Shui Guanzhi smiling sinisterly. He immediately realized that the reason he hadn’t noticed Zhao Wuji’s attack was because of Shui Guanzhi. He had used his water runes to isolate his perception.
Seeing that he hadn’t killed Long Chen, Zhao Wuji shot forward. Following him, the earth giant charged. At the same time, the other three also attacked.
Chapter 746 Space Lock Talisman
Long Chen snorted. His lightning wings shook, and he slashed his saber at the earth giant’s fist.
This was a collision of pure power. The earth giant was forced back a dozen steps, and with its huge body, those dozen steps equated a mile, which instantly exposed Zhao Wuji.
Long Chen was also knocked back, but with a flap of his lightning wings, he shot toward Zhao Wuji.
This earth giant had been summoned by him. As long as he cut down Zhao Wuji or injured him, he would be powerless to control the earth giant.
Zhao Wuji suddenly took out a huge hammer. It was a treasure he had obtained from the Netherworld Heaven Staircase. Although it was only a middle grade Enchanted item, it had earth runes on it. In his hands, it would be able to release the power of a high grade Enchanted item.
Saber and hammer collided. Despite the hammer, Zhao Wuji was sent flying. He vomited a mouthful of blood.
Now that Long Chen had summoned the Four Star Battle Armor, Zhao Wuji was no longer able to challenge Long Chen in physical strength. He could only rely on his earth giant to fight for him.
Long Chen was just about to chase and completely remove Zhao Wuji from the fight when chilling Sword Qi came at him. His wings flashed, and he dodged to the side.
Yue Qianshan’s attacks were too sharp. He didn’t want to face him head-on. That was because his weapon wasn’t good enough. If he fought with him for too long, his weapon would probably shatter.
As for Blooddrinker, it was in a critical state. Long Chen didn’t want to interrupt its healing process. He could only use this black saber.
So Long Chen could only dodge Yue Qianshan’s attacks. Now that his attacks contained Heavenly Dao runes, ordinary weapons weren’t able to block it.
Surrounded by the four of them, Long Chen’s saber danced. He did his best to dodge Yue Qianshan’s attacks and focus his own attacks on Zhao Wuji.
Zhao Wuji’s off
ense and defense were both purely physical. To Long Chen, who specialized in physical strength, he was the best target.
As for Zhong Wuyan, the figure behind her was rather hard to deal with. It was different from the earth giant and seemed to possess its own consciousness. Whether it was in terms of offense or defense, it possessed very few weak points.
Shui Guanzhi was hiding behind his water dragon, and Long Chen was unable to do anything to it for now. If it was a one on one, he could easily unleash a sudden attack to destroy the water dragon, but the other three would block him now. He had no chance. So Zhao Wuji was his best target.
Atop the platform, Sword Qi raged, saber-images slashed, and explosive sounds echoed out. The all-out battle between the five of them was truly a world-shaking one.
All the monastery heads and disciples were watching closely. This was the disciples’ first time seeing such a fierce battle.
However, over eighty percent of them were focused on Long Chen.
The Four Heavenly Geniuses were the idols of countless disciples in the Xuantian Dao Sect. They considered them true geniuses, legendary figures that couldn’t be defeated.
But these four were actually unable to do anything to Long Chen. Zhao Wuji was even repeatedly blown back and appeared extremely wretched. This scene was deeply shocking.
“This Long Chen really is heaven-defying!” sighed one of the monastery heads. The Four Heavenly Geniuses had even used self-mutilating techniques to unleash their greatest power, but they were still unable to do anything to Long Chen. This had turned into a battle of attrition.
Let alone the other monastery heads, even Shui Wuhen was stunned by Long Chen’s combat prowess. She hadn’t expected there was such a terrifying monster in her hands.
The most hateful thing was that this monster spent all day laughing and joking without even one proper thought. He didn’t possess the slightest mannerism of an expert. Like a ruffian, his coarse mouth spouted whatever it wanted. Everyone had been tricked by this outer appearance.
BOOM!
Suddenly, Long Chen was forced into an impossible position. He had to use his saber to block Yue Qianshan’s sword. As a result, his saber was cut in two.
