Nine Star Hegemon Body Art c1-2048

However, other than the innate rank three Celestials, the others were all in a wretched state now. Their bodies had been badly damaged, and they were horrified to find that their Heavenly Dao energy was unable to heal these injuries.
“Underworld Soul Blood Curse!”
Suddenly, Xue You shouted. His third eye opened, and a blood-colored rune shot toward Long Chen.
Long Chen tried to dodge when he suddenly found that space was locked around him. He couldn’t move.
“Idiot, once you’ve entered my Space Locking Bow’s force field, you can’t get away!”
Yu Changhao’s golden bow had suddenly grown to three hundred meters long. Its countless runes lit up, shining on Long Chen. It was actually a spatial locking power. Long Chen could only watch as that curse rune shot toward him.
Chapter 877 Killing the Rest in One Move
Long Chen hadn’t expected Yu Changhao to be able to use a Treasure item to seal the space around him. This way, he was unable to dodge Xue You’s curse.
But he sneered and looked at Xue You. “Idiot, you just had to wait until so many of your people died. Now you should know that foolishness comes at a price. Did you think I didn’t prepare any defense against your curse?”
Long Chen simply stood there with his broadsword. He didn’t move. He just allowed the curse rune to approach him.
This caused Xue You to be startled. He had absolute confidence in his curse arts. If Long Chen was struck, he would immediately become feeble. Then they could capture him alive and torment him. But Xue You truly did feel regret. He shouldn’t have been holding back and using Long Chen as a tool to train his Evil Dragon Bone Claw. The Corrupt path had suffered immense losses here.
Just as that curse rune was about to land on Long Chen, a body flew up and struck the rune.
“What?!”
The curse rune instantly entered that person’s body. He began to quiver, and a black color crept over his face.
Xue You was startled because he realized that this person was from the Corrupt path. He had actually appeared here to take Long Chen’s place for his curse.
Long Chen smiled. As soon as he had seen Xue You here, he had known it would very likely devolve into an immense battle.
So he had long since discussed it with Yue Xiaoqian. This kind of curse was extremely terrifying. So Yue Xiaoqian had always been concealing her power. If he encountered any danger, she was to send a replacement to Long Chen. Now, his prediction had been proven correct.
The space around Long Chen relaxed. Yu Changhao’s space-locking abilities were obviously limited. He wasn’t even a Sea Expansion expert yet, so he was unable to bring out a Treasure item’s complete power.
Long Chen suddenly appeared beside Yu Changhao. Yu Changhao was the closest, and using the Lightning Body Blink, Long Chen closed the gap in an instant. His sword stabbed toward his bow.
Yu Changhao had greatly exhausted his spiritual yuan to use his Treasure item’s special ability. As a result, Long Chen was at an immense advantage now. There was no time for him to dodge. Clenching his teeth, his bow stabbed toward Long Chen’s heart. He was trying to force Long Chen to retreat and gain some breathing room.
However, he had underestimated Long Chen’s ruthlessness. Long Chen ignored his bow. His broadsword had already reached him.
Long Chen’s broadsword pierced through Yu Changhao’s heart, causing a huge hole to appear in his chest. As for Yu Changhao’s bow, it pierced through Long Chen’s chest and out his back.
Both of them vomited blood. This wasn’t the result Yu Changhao had wanted. He had thought Long Chen would dodge.
“You want to compete in terms of ruthlessness with me? When have I ever been afraid of competing in that?”
BOOM!
Suddenly, a terrifying power erupted from his broadsword. He was forcing Yu Changhao to die with him. If Yu Changhao also did the same thing with his bow, then both of them would be blown apart by the other.
But in the end, Yu Changhao was afraid. Although he was vicious, he didn’t want to die. Sensing this suicidal move of Long Chen’s, his wings suddenly flapped and he fell back. At the same time, his Heavenly Dao runes wrapped around Long Chen’s broadsword, erasing as much of its power as possible.
Yu Changhao succeeded in escaping the broadsword, but he hadn’t managed to completely block its power. He wildly vomited blood, and cracks appeared on his body. He had almost exploded.
Yu Changhao was horrified. He was now afraid of Long Chen’s practically suicidal way of fighting. He had always been a noble heavenly genius and always thought of himself as a supreme existence. He definitely wouldn’t use his life to bring someone else down with him. He felt his life was the most precious, so he had never had the same thought as Long Chen.
Just now, he had walked past the gates of hell. He was finally afraid. But Long Chen didn’t give him any time to feel his terror. He once more shot toward him.
“What?!” Yu Changhao and Xue You were horrified. They saw that Long Chen’s heavy injuries had healed in the blink of an eye.
As for Yu Changhao, his body was covered in cracks. If he had to receive another one of Long Chen’s attacks in his state, he would explode immediately.
Naturally, Xue You wouldn’t allow that. A huge bone claw caught Yu Changhao, protecting him. Long Chen’s attack only caused the claw to be sent flying. It didn’t injure Yu Changhao.
“Brother Yu, quickly heal!” shouted Xue You. A blood-colored figure appeared behind him; he had summoned his Blood Devil Possession. His black-sword released a torrential Sword Qi as he attacked Long Chen.
He finally realized he was in a dangerous situation. Long Chen was too powerful, and if Yu Changhao was killed, then on his own, he wouldn’t be able to handle Long Chen.
“Devil Eye Destroys the World!”
A black light shot out from Xue You’s third eye. Long Chen had seen this attack before. He knew Xue You’s third eye was where his divine abilities lay. Its powers were bizarre. He hastily dodged to the side.
The black light landed on the huge mountain. A hole appeared in the mountain, one that was extremely smooth.
More black rays came from Xue You’s third eye. Long Chen hastily dodged. This attack was too powerful to take head-on for no reason.
Each black light beam pierced the mountain, and it started to crumble.
With Xue You not hesitating to use his devil eye to release such powerful attacks, Long Chen was unable to get close to him. At this time, Yu Changhao was using the Heavenly Dao Recovery to heal his injuries.
His injuries were too heavy since his internal organs had been destroyed. He needed to reconstruct them, and that would exhaust a huge amount of his core energy and time. He couldn’t fight for a while.
Long Chen was like a ghost, using the Lightning Body Blink to dodge Xue You’s attacks. Although Xue You’s attacks were powerful, there was no danger of them striking him.
Down below, Yue Xiaoqian was now only facing just over thirty rank three Celestials, down from the hundreds of Celestials that had previously surrounded her.
The majority of the rank three Celestials were heavily injured now. It could be seen how terrifying Yue Xiaoqian’s attack had been. She was a bit short of breath now, as that attack also came at a price for her.
These experts roared furiously and charged at Yue Xiaoqian. They had been too careless just now, allowing her to release such a powerful attack. Now, they wouldn’t give Yue Xiaoqian the chance to release any more magical arts.
“Careful!”
PFFT!
A head flew into the air. A Corrupt expert at the front of the charge had been killed with one slash of Yue Xiaoqian’s sword.
Now that they were in close-range battle, they suddenly found that Yue Xiaoqian’s body and sword were untouchable. She slipped past them like a phantom drifting through their midst. They had never seen such movements. Her sword appeared and disappeared unpredictably, and in just a few breaths, four of
them were killed.
“Go all-out!” roared an ancient race expert. Let alone catching her alive, they didn’t even know if they could kill Yue Xiaoqian like this. Xue You’s order to capture her alive had truly been an impossible request.
They all stopped holding back. Some of them even activated their core divine abilities, while others used self-harming techniques to push their power to the peak. That immediately caused Yue Xiaoqian’s situation to become dangerous.
Long Chen saw all of this clearly. He suddenly took a deep breath. While dodging Xue You’s attacks, he formed hand seals. His Spiritual Strength erupted.
Countless golden scales surged out of the ground like a sea. It happened so suddenly that those experts attacking Yue Xiaoqian hadn’t even realized what was going on before those sharp scales pierced their bodies. Blood splashed.
While Long Chen had been searching for treasures, he had stealthily slipped the Hidden Ground Gold Spider King’s scales into the ground. It had all been in preparation.
Originally, he had been planning on using them to kill Xue You. But Xue You was up in the air right now, and this attack would be noticed before it could strike him.
Seeing Yue Xiaoqian in danger, Long Chen decided to use them against the ones attacking her. After all, there were over twenty innate rank three Celestials against her, and she wasn’t a true Celestial. Her control over Heavenly Dao energy was definitely weaker than her control over her core energy.
The golden scales brought with them a rain of blood. As experts, one scale piercing through their body wasn’t fatal. But there were just too many of them, and the majority of the experts were turned into sieves. They hastily focused on blocking the scales.
Yue Xiaoqian took advantage of that opportunity. Light flashed from her forehead. She hastily began to chant something, and she stabbed her sword into the ground.
“Earth Explosion Kill Wave!”
A ripple spread over the ground, reaching those experts blocking the scales in an instant.
Wherever the ripple went, flesh exploded. Those experts all disappeared. Even Long Chen’s scales were crushed apart. It could be seen just how terrifying this attack had been.
Yue Xiaoqian leaned against her sword, her face a bit pale. She had basically used up all her Heavenly Dao energy just now. In fact, she had even stealthily used her core energy, but she had concealed it within her Heavenly Dao energy.
“Bastards, you’ve brought a calamity upon yourselves by slaughtering the members of the ancient races! Just wait for our reprisal! Your sects, your families, none of them will have good deaths!” Yu Changhao had only just recovered and left the protection of the bone claw when he saw Yue Xiaoqian’s attack kill everyone.
Chapter 878 Each Side Taking Out Trump Cards
It wasn’t just Xue You and Yu Changhao that were stunned. Even Long Chen was stunned. He hadn’t expected Yue Xiaoqian to possess such a terrifying move. Just how could she release such a powerful magical art in such a short time?
It seemed Yue Xiaoqian’s power far surpassed Long Chen’s expectations. In fact, perhaps she would even be able to fight Leng Yueyan.
However, Yue Xiaoqian’s aura had clearly dropped after this attack. She had exhausted all her Heavenly Dao energy, and if she were to fight again, she would probably have to use her core energy.
Once she used her core energy, her status would be revealed. There were probably already people outside this barrier watching in secret. She couldn’t attack for now.
“Good job Xiaoqian. You rest. Leave these two idiots to me!” shouted Long Chen. He suddenly turned into a bolt of lightning that shot toward Yu Changhao.
His broadsword slashed toward Yu Changhao. An icy light shone in Yu Changhao’s eyes as he used his bowstring to meet Long Chen’s broadsword. Long Chen’s power was a bit too much for him, so he wanted to cause him to rebound before pulling apart the distance and using long-range attacks.
But just as his bowstring was about to meet Long Chen’s broadsword, Long Chen’s other hand opened, and a ball of lightning shot toward Yu Changhao.
Roaring filled the air, as a lightning dragon appeared within that ball. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws at Yu Changhao.
Yu Changhao was horrified. It was too late for him to do anything against this sudden, terrifying move. He hastily activated the golden armor’s defenses.
BOOM!
Lei Long’s claw landed on Yu Changhao, and he immediately felt all his hair stand on end. He wildly vomited blood.
And the worst thing for him was that Long Chen’s sword was clashing at his head. Everything was happening too fast, and the distant Xue You didn’t have any chance to help.
“Feather Blade Flying Slaughter!” Yu Changhao roared furiously and his feathers lit up. They left his wings and transformed into golden rays that shot toward Long Chen.
At such a close range, Long Chen could only use his broadsword to protect his head. The rest of his body was instantly pierced by countless rays, practically turning into a sieve.
These feathers were Yu Changhao’s strongest defense and also his strongest offense. But when these feathers left his body, they would only be usable once.
If Long Chen’s vitality wasn’t so tough, then even with his divine ring and Four Star Battle Armor, his physical body would probably have exploded.
“Long Chen!” cried Yue Xiaoqian.
“This birdman’s strong, but can a bird still be called a bird once it loses all its feathers? Die!”
What startled everyone was that Long Chen’s heavily injured body instantly healed. If it weren’t for his broken clothes, they might even suspect that their eyes had broken.
Long Chen’s broadsword slashed toward Yu Changhao. On the other side, Xue You’s bone claw was blocked by Lei Long. Lei Long’s tail tightly bound the claw. Rumbling rang out and the bone claw was forced back.
Yu Changhao didn’t manage to block Long Chen’s attack, and Sword Qi landed right on his body. He protected his vitals with his wings, but he still vomited blood. At the same time, his practically indestructible wings were cut open, and blood poured out.
Without the protection of his feathers, the defensive power of his wings had dropped sharply. He was no longer able to block Long Chen’s attacks.
Yu Changhao flew back to Xue You’s side. He needed to stay next to Xue You so he could borrow the Evil Dragon Bone Claw to handle Long Chen.
“Raging Flame Prison!”
Yu Changhao had just retreated to Xue You’s side when endless flame energy condensed around them. Long Chen also formed hand seals, and chanting filled the air, resounding throughout heaven and earth.
A huge flame prison formed around them. Long Chen had used Lei Long to distract them so he could use the Raging Flame Prison. Now that the Raging Flame Prison had appeared, Long Chen directly activated the Nirvana Scripture to increase its power.
Xue You and Yu Changhao’s expressions changed. They hadn’t expected Long Chen to also use a magical art, and they didn’t have any defenses against it. Thus, they ended up falling for it.
They attacked the flame prison, but they were horrified to find that these flame chains had formed many layers, and they were unbreakable. There was no way to break them with brute force.
After all, not everyone had Voidpiercing Eyes, nor were there that many people as learned as Yue Xiaoqian. They weren’t able to see through the nodes of the Raging Flame Prison. If their attacks didn’t land on those nodes, then their attacks would be blunted by the entire Raging Flame Prison.
As the Nirvana Scripture circulated, the chanting in the air grew louder. It was like the chanting of gods, sacred and holy. The stars in Long Chen’s eyes shone and his divine ring circulated. Standing atop Lei Long’s head, he appeared like a god in front of the spectators outside.
Xue You was acclaimed to be the Corrupt path’s top expert in Eastern Wasteland, while Yu Changhao was the leader of the ancient races’ junior generation. They were both
peak experts. But even working together against Long Chen, they were still at a disadvantage. Long Chen was practically heaven-defying.
Xue You and Yu Changhao were horrified to find that no matter how they struggled, the flame prison continued to shrink and grow stronger. The Evil Dragon Bone Claw was still outside, and now it was unable to attack the flame prison. It wasn’t as if they could attack themselves with it.
“We can’t hold back any longer,” said Xue You. Yu Changhao nodded.
“Blood Devil Devours the Heavens!”
An image of a blood devil appeared behind Xue You. It opened its mouth, and the world turned dark. That blood devil then split open and transformed into blood-colored runes that entered Xue You’s body.
His third eye opened and an evil aura instantly erupted. It was like the gates of hell had been opened. Despite the flame prison, there was a chill in the air now.
A ray of light shot from his third eye onto the flame prison. One of the incredibly sturdy flame chains was severed by that strange light.
Following one chain’s destruction, the entire flame prison crumbled. The two of them instantly regained their freedom.
“Even if it’s a merged flame, it’s still trash. If it had been the Earth Flame’s power, they wouldn’t have been able to even think about escaping.” Long Chen couldn’t help but sigh. The Earth Flame was still in slumber. He had used his merged flame that was formed from various beast flames. But its toughness was lacking, and when the flame prison was destroyed, he also received a backlash. He almost coughed up blood.
“I can’t continue like this. I won’t be able to keep up the Four Star Battle Armor for long.” Long Chen suddenly noticed that after fighting for so long, his spiritual yuan was already starting to decline.
“Long Chen, time for you to die!” Xue You’s hair was standing on end, and black blood was pouring out of his third eye. He had clearly suffered a painful price to gain this battle power.
