Nine Star Hegemon Body Art c1-2048

He was startled. This was his first time seeing such explosive strength, and he rapidly retreated.
BOOM! The front of Ji Changkong’s robes exploded, revealing a golden soft armor on his body. But there was a large hole in that armor now. His blood slowly flowed out.
He was both startled and enraged. If he hadn’t retreated fast enough and had this armor to block the majority of the power, he might already be dead. This carelessness had caused him to walk right past the gates of hell. Cold sweat covered his back.
Rumble… Long Chen’s divine ring circulated and four stars floated in his eyes. His aura reached his peak. His sword once more slashed toward Ji Changkong.
“Brother Changkong, be careful. He is incredibly fast!” warned the Blood Python expert. At the same time, he once more began to brandish his whip, joining hands with Ji Changkong to fight Long Chen.
Ji Changkong finally recovered from his shock. With a furious roar, he summoned his Cry of the Heavenly Daos. Three-colored runes erupted, forming a fierce sea around him. Ji Changkong was also an innate rank three Celestial.
“Long Chen, you can die now!” A black spear appeared in Ji Changkong’s hands. Its runes lit up, and it released a powerful pressure that caused space to tremble. That pressure was something only a Treasure item could possess.
BOOM!
Long Chen’s sword slashed onto his spear. Terrifying power erupted as endless runes raged in the sky. Powerful shockwaves spread, shattering mountains and blowing dust into the air.
Long Chen was forced back, enraged. Ji Changkong’s spear was a heavy weapon. Its strongest aspect was in direct attacks, so for Long Chen to use Flying Rainbow against him put him at a disadvantage.
Flying Rainbow was a sword whose best aspect was its sharpness, but it was impossible for it to sever another weapon that had reached the Treasure item level. Furthermore, Long Chen wasn’t proficient in sword techniques. He wielded it but used his saber techniques.
Blooddrinker was in a critical moment. Long Chen couldn’t disturb it, or all its previous efforts would be wasted. He could only endure.
Long Chen was forced back, but he also borrowed that to dodge the Blood Python expert’s whip.
His wings suddenly shook, and his retreating figure came to a sudden stop. Long Chen used Split the Heavens against the Blood Python expert. He was the weakest here and the easiest to kill first.
Although his combat power was much weaker, his whip was extremely strange. If he used it in the right manner, it could lead to a sudden victory for them.
The Blood Python expert didn’t dare to receive Long Chen’s slash head-on. He hastily dodged to the side.
BOOM! The Sword Qi slashed onto the ground and straight through any mountains it met, cutting a long ditch.
“Careful! Qiankun Severing Spear!” Ji Changkong suddenly shouted and stabbed his spear to the space beside the Blood Python expert.
Long Chen had already appeared there without notice. Long Chen’s sword caused space to tremble, and the Blood Python expert realized he was also locked down by it; his soul almost fled in fright.
BOOM! Long Chen’s sword slashed onto Ji Changkong’s spear. His attack was blocked, allowing the Blood Python expert to escape.
But even so, for such a powerful attack to erupt right beside him, he immediately vomited blood and had half of his body crushed.
“Remote Heaven Grand Art!” Ji Changkong was extremely startled. Long Chen’s power had already far surpassed his expectations. He couldn’t hold back any longer, and he activated one of his trump cards.
The runic sea behind him began to surge, and then it entered his body. Ji Changkong’s face became covered in countless runes. It looked like centipedes were crawling over his face, making him appear frightening.
BOOM! It was like a gate had been opened within his body. A fierce power soared out of him, as if some beast was awakening within him.
“Long Chen, I’ll let you experience my true power!” roared Ji Changkong. His spear suddenly began to dance, transforming into thousands of spear-images that attacked Long Chen.
After this exchange, Long Chen was already aware that Ji Changkong was a brute power expert. He had used a secret technique to explosively increase his power. However, Long Chen was fearless. He suddenly changed his stance and held his sword with both hands. His four stars circulated as endless energy poured into his arms.
Sword Qi slashed through the air, and spear-images filled the sky. A terrifying power was clashing through the land. That sound was something that could be heard ten thousand miles away. It was a world-shaking battle.
There were actually quite a few experts stealthily roaming through the Ten Thousand Beast Forest. The vast forest definitely held countless natural treasures. If they were lucky, they might be able to capture an ancient Magical Beast as a housepet, or perhaps even capture their younglings or eggs.
However, they all knew that there were countless powerful Magical Beasts around them. They had to conceal their auras like thieves to avoid being noticed by those Magical Beasts. Although they were in groups, they still had to be careful. They weren’t afraid of one Magical Beast, but they had to be worried about a fight that had the potential to draw over the other surrounding Magical Beasts.
Just as they were carefully searching, they heard an explosive battle erupting. Furthermore, that aura was clearly not the aura of Magical Beasts fighting each other.
“Just who is so stupid as to fight here? Do they not want their lives?” Countless people sneered, feeling like whoever was fighting was too much of an idiot. This kind of battle would definitely draw over the Magical Beasts. It was suicide.
But those sneers quickly turned into shock. That battle’s aura was rapidly growing, and the pressure was growing more and more terrifying. Even from such a distance, their hearts were quivering.
“Heavens, what level of fight is this?!” After their shock, they all became curious and rapidly snuck over. As for the surrounding Magical Beasts, they were intimidated and constantly roaring, warning invaders not to intrude into their territory.
Magical Beasts might not be very intelligent, but they had their own instincts. When their opponent’s aura far surpassed them, they would shrink back.
None of the Magical Beasts dared to move. Even the people rushing through their territory were ignored. As long as none of them attacked, they wouldn’t attack either.
As a result, a huge mass of disciples quickly gathered on the edge of the battlefield. Once they arrived, they were all horrified.
There were three figures fighting intensely in the sky. Their Treasure items were releasing immense power. The ground was completely ruined, and the sky was quivering as powerful shockwaves erupted.
“Isn’t that Ji Changkong from the Eastern Wasteland’s number one gang? He’s claimed to be the Remote Heaven Gang’s number one genius.” Someone immediately recognized Ji Changkong because he was extremely famous.
“The other one seems to be the Blood Python race’s Lie Yan. He’s also claimed as the number one genius of his race.”
It was precisely because they recognized those two people that they were shocked. But it was the Corrupt experts that were silent. They had recognized the other person. That person’s name was like a nightmare to the Corrupt path.
“Who is that person? He’s so strong!” asked someone in shock. He saw that Ji Changkong and Lie Yan were working together, but victory or defeat was still difficult to determine. Even two against one, they were unable to do anything to their opponent. So just how strong did that person have to be?
“He’s Long Chen from the Xuantian Dao Sect. He’s said to be a legend. Three years ago, he was just a nameless brat, but he suddenly soared like a shooting star, becoming a monster within the Xuantian Dao Sect. It’s said that the word genius can no longer be used to describe him.”
This battle drew more and more people. But they all just watched from a distance, not daring to get closer. Even ord
inary rank three Celestials didn’t dare to get closer. It was the difference in power that cowered them.
Up in the sky, Long Chen’s power was overflowing. His battle with the other two had reached a stalemate, becoming a battle of attrition.
Against the two of them, over eighty percent of his power was focused on Ji Changkong. There was no need to doubt his power. As for the Blood Python expert, he was originally injured and his spiritual yuan was low. However, he was very crafty and kept attacking Long Chen from behind Ji Changkong, not letting him get close.
Long Chen was sneering inside. Ji Changkong wanted to compete in terms of endurance with him? With his divine ring, he could maintain this tempo until next year. As long as he didn’t use any big moves, his spiritual yuan wouldn’t dip at all.
“Long Chen, you killed my Fullmoon race’s disciples! Hand over your life!”
Just at that moment, a furious roar shook the heavens. A figure charged into the battlefield, a huge broadsword slashing down.
Chapter 843 Giant Body
Long Chen was startled. This attack was coming from behind him. Even before the attack came, he sensed a powerful wind, and the space around him had been solidified.
Furthermore, he was also facing Ji Changkong and the Blood Python expert from the front. There was no way for him to dodge, nor was there a way for him to block with his sword. With an icy snort, he summoned golden scales and formed a barrier around himself.
The thick wall of scales was blown apart. That was well within Long Chen’s expectations as his goal was only to weaken this attack.
He had just blocked the Blood Python expert’s whip as well as Ji Changkong’s spear. But at this moment, his left hand suddenly reached back, covered in thunderforce. In front of those hidden spectator’s shocked gazes, he grabbed the tip of the broadsword.
“Is he crazy?! He’s grabbing a Treasure item with his bare hand?!?!” That was a Treasure item! Once it released its power, it could directly crush him. Did Long Chen not want his life any longer?
Long Chen caught the broadsword, and only then did he get a look at who was attacking him. It was a large, stocky man with a horn on his head.
Long Chen suddenly recalled that he had seen this person before. Back then, he had been the one leading the Fullmoon race’s experts before the Immemorial Path had opened.
On Insect Island, he had truly killed Fullmoon disciples and Giant Eagle disciples. But the rest of those people had later died on Insect Island to that sea of insects. He didn’t know how this person was aware of this fact.
However, he also couldn’t be bothered to quibble, nor would he refuse to admit it. The hand holding the broadsword suddenly pulled back.
The Fullmoon expert was also an innate rank three Celestial. Seeing that Long Chen dared to grab his Treasure item with his bare hand and actually dared to pull it away, he was infuriated. His power surged out. He was just about to activate his Treasure item’s power to kill Long Chen.
But just as his spiritual yuan was about to pour into his weapon, Long Chen’s Flying Rainbow slashed toward his wrist. That sharp aura gave him a chill.
He immediately realized that Long Chen intended to snatch his Treasure item. If Long Chen’s sword landed on his wrist, then even if he circulated his spiritual yuan to block, it would still be severed. Long Chen would then easily take his Treasure item.
He immediately became dumbfounded. His sneak attack had failed, and now he had landed in this kind of situation in the blink of an eye. He didn’t even know what to do.
He instinctively poured his spiritual yuan into his broadsword, hoping to activate its power before Long Chen’s sword could reach him.
PFFT!
Flying Rainbow severed his wrist. But Long Chen’s left hand, and even his entire arm, was blown apart. His bones were revealed.
The Fullmoon expert hadn’t been as fast as Long Chen. But a portion of his spiritual yuan had still entered his broadsword. An immense power had blown apart Long Chen’s arm.
His left arm was now a pulp. But the Fullmoon expert’s hand had also left his body along with his broadsword.
Long Chen tried to grab the broadsword, but it was shockingly heavy, too heavy to hold it with his injured arm. It hadn’t recovered from the impact, and he was actually unable to keep hold of the broadsword. It began to fall.
He was just about to chase after it when golden light shone behind him. The Blood Python expert’s golden whip released a piercing light, blocking his movement.
Furthermore, Ji Changkong’s spear was stabbing toward his back. Long Chen had no chance to grab that Treasure item and could only raise his sword to block.
With their help, the Fullmoon expert hastily grabbed back his broadsword and hand. Activating his Heavenly Dao runes, he reattached his hand.
His fury had soared to a new level. Their ancient races possessed a secret art that allowed them to distinguish the killers of their clansmen. They would all be infected by a special aura that only the ancient races could sense. So denying it didn’t have any use.
He had just been drawn over to the battle when he sensed that aura from Long Chen’s body. So he had immediately attacked, wanting to kill him in one blow. One reason was that he wanted to avenge his fallen clansmen, while another was because the ancient races also had good relationships among themselves. This way, he could get a favor from the Blood Python race.
He had thought that even if he didn’t kill Long Chen in one blow, he would still be dead in just a few exchanges. But there truly had only been one exchange, and in this one exchange, his hand was severed. Furthermore, that was in a situation where he was the sneak attacker. This severed hand was an immense humiliation.
He could sense the shocked gazes from countless spectators. He could even feel them thinking that the grand Fullmoon race’s number one junior expert was actually so useless.
“Long Chen, I will kill you and your entire family!” The Fullmoon race’s expert roared, countless runes lighting up his body. His body started to rapidly expand, and his muscles began to bulge with explosive power.
BOOM! Long Chen had just forced back the Blood Python expert and Ji Changkong when the Fullmoon expert’s broadsword whistled toward him.
Long Chen was startled. This Fullmoon expert was extremely powerful. But then seeing the horn on his head, he realized he was perhaps related to the ancient rhinoceros Magical Beast.
Even blocking with his full power, he was still sent flying. Long Chen snorted. If it weren’t for the fact that Flying Rainbow wasn’t his kind of weapon, how could he lose in terms of power?
“Double Dragon Destruction!”
Long Chen was in the midst of flying back, while the other three were rushing toward him, wanting to kill him in one surge. But he suddenly raised his hands and two huge dragons soared out, roaring. A powerful aura crashed down on them like waves crashing against the shore.
The three of them were horrified. They hadn’t expected Long Chen to possess such a powerful attack. They sensed an immense threat from these two dragons.
“Fullmoon Slash!”
“Remote Heaven Bloodcry Spear!”
“Blood Python Overflows the Earth!”
The three of them didn’t dare to hold back. They released their strongest moves and space began to rumble.
BOOM!
The four attacks collided, forming a huge ball in the air. The inside of that ball was full of fierce powers colliding together, which then suddenly exploded.
It was like the void had erupted, and a harsh light filled the air. When everyone’s sight recovered, they were horrified to see that Long Chen and the others were already fighting again.
“What kind of monsters are they?! Even after such a terrifying blast, they still weren’t injured?!”
“Perhaps they weren’t injured, but their auras are clearly weaker. It probably won’t be long before they run out of power,” said one expert. Everyone hastily sensed their auras and found out that they rea
lly had weakened by quite a bit.
Long Chen hadn’t been holding back with his attack. He had directly summoned Lei Long and Huo Long’s true bodies. With this one attack, not only had he released all their power, but it had also taken a great deal of his spiritual yuan.
The two of them returned to his arms to rest. Just at this moment, Long Chen raised his sword, about to release the second form of Split the Heavens.
“To dare bully my brother Long, I’ll smash you to death!”
Suddenly, a furious roar rang out. It was like the roar of a heavenly god. A large figure rushed over.
“Wilde!” Long Chen had never expected that Wilde would appear.
He was three meters tall, looking like a small giant. As he rushed over, the ground constantly shook. His speed was actually greater than them flying.
He stamped on the ground and shot up like a cannonball. The ground shattered, but he appeared in front of Ji Changkong and the others in an instant.
“Where did this idiot come from? Scram!”
The Fullmoon expert saw that Wilde didn’t summon his Heavenly Dao runes, nor did he release any Battle Skills. He furiously slashed his broadsword at Wilde.
BOOM!
Wilde raised his bone club. As a result, he was sent flying and smashed into the ground by the Fullmoon expert. A small crater appeared on the ground.
Long Chen was startled. He was just about to go see if Wilde was injured when he shot back up, roaring, “Now it’s my turn. Let me handle him!”
The Blood Python expert sneered. He shot toward Wilde, his whip growing to become three hundred meters, coiling around him.
Long Chen knew Wilde didn’t specialize in fighting in the air. Jumping up like this to fight meant he couldn’t use any power. Furthermore, this child was too foolish. It seemed he thought he had to jump up to their height in order to fight. As a result, by the time he reached their height, he had no more power left. That was why he was forced back by the Fullmoon expert.
