Nine Star Hegemon Body Art

Long Chen spat out blood. The starlight around him faded, and the starry gates vanished—his last attack had drained him completely.    

Long Biluo was no better. Her manifestation and Sovereign flames had dissipated, but her eyes still glinted with murderous resolve.    

“We’re both out of energy,” she said coldly, raising her divine sword. “But this sword still contains a Divine Sovereign’s essence blood. Though only a third remains, it’s more than enough to kill you. I told you, you will die today!”    

Her killing intent locked onto Long Chen like chains.    

Long Chen’s gaze sharpened, though inwardly he sighed. He had used up too much astral energy. He couldn’t summon his starry manifestation again.    

Worst of all, his body was also covered in cracks. He could no longer endure an intense exchange.    

“Die!”    

Long Biluo swung her sword once more, though it no longer had its previous might.    

𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂    

“Seven Peak Sword Net!”    

“Heaven Blocking Shield!”    

“Cloud Dragon Immolation Claw!”    

Long Chen’s hand seals blurred. A seven-colored divine sword streaked forward, a massive shield of light filled the sky, and a dragon’s claw reached out before him. Finally, countless flower petals coalesced into Evilmoon Shield.    

The Divine Sovereign sword tore through them one after another before slamming into Evilmoon Shield.    

Flower petals flew through the air. However, four layers of resistance had drained the sword’s lock, allowing Long Chen to leap back and dodge.    

“    

Hmph    

, you’re exhausted, right? Let’s see how you’ll block this one!” Long Biluo shouted, raising her sword once more.    

It seemed that she wouldn’t stop until he was dead.    

But before she could strike, a black vine erupted from behind her, piercing her chest.    

Long Biluo froze. A serpent-like vine wrapped around her, her flesh withering where it touched.    

It was Zhi Zhi.    

Right now, Long Chen could only rely on it for ambushes. After all, neither the Demon Moon Cauldron nor the Heaven Flipping Seal could withstand this Divine Sovereign weapon.    

But then, Long Biluo roared, her sword flaring with formation runes.    

BOOM!    

Zhi Zhi exploded into fragments. Long Biluo swung her sword, trying to obliterate it completely. However, Zhi Zhi had vanished, slipping into the primal chaos space.    

After consuming the twelve-winged Heaven Devil, Zhi Zhi had grown a lot. It could now traverse space and shift freely between the outside world and the primal chaos space without Long Chen’s help.    

Long Biluo’s face was ashen. Without the Divine Sovereign essence blood’s protection, that single strike would have drained her completely—or killed her outright.    

She trembled with rage. To kill Long Chen, she had used up all her trump cards. But she still ended up like this.    

A patriarch of the Long family had given her this essence blood personally, telling her not to use it unless she absolutely had to. It was a life-saving trump card, and if her life was not in danger, she was to return it.    

After all, it was no ordinary essence blood—it contained a Divine Sovereign’s core. It was incomparably precious. If it were not for Long Biluo’s special status, they definitely wouldn’t have taken it out. Once this drop of essence blood was spent, replenishing it would take a century of bitter cultivation.    

Long Biluo had practically gone insane. Even without the Earth Cauldron’s aid, he had pushed her into such desperate straits.    

“Long Chen, either you die or I die!”    

Long Biluo swung her sword, and a layer of divine light enveloped her body.    

Zhi Zhi’s sudden ambush had clearly rattled her. Now, she was sacrificing part of her offensive strength to bolster her defenses.    

Long Chen, however, was completely spent. If she landed even a single blow, it would be enough to finish him.    

She lunged forward, her divine sword whistling down. Though its power had diminished, the will of the Divine Sovereign still locked firmly onto Long Chen.    

“Fuck, no matter what, we’ll kill her today!” roared Evilmoon.    

Evilmoon had already consumed a portion of its core energy—energy that was painstakingly slow to replenish. But if it didn’t act now, Long Chen would die. There was no more room to hold back.    

Yet, Long Chen no longer had the power to keep fighting. Even if Evilmoon could block this sword, Long Chen wouldn’t be able to kill her. In the end, Evilmoon would still lose all its energy reserves for nothing.    

BOOM!    

Just as Evilmoon prepared to unleash everything, an explosive rumble shook the ground. A streak of divine light burst upward from beneath the earth.    

“That’s...”    

“The innate bead!”    

Due to the terrain completely changing, the innate bead had ended up underground. People had almost forgotten about it when this murderous beam shot at Long Biluo.    

She instantly redirected her attack to meet it, shattering the beam. But before she could recover, an enormous figure emerged into the sky.    

BOOM!    

It was a Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow, with a manifestation of a Primal Chaos Vermilion Bird behind it.    

The Primal Chaos Vermilion Bird let out a heaven-shaking cry. It opened its mouth, and a scarlet sword shot toward Long Biluo.    

BOOM!    

Her sword intercepted the strike, but the force sent her flying, blood spilling from her lips.    

Astonished, she shouted, “The legacy inheritance is complete?! But the Primal Chaos Vermilion Bird was clearly dead! How does it still have its memories and resentment?!”    

“Slut, how dare you hurt my big brother!? Die!”    

Cloud’s furious cry split the air.    

As she merged with the Vermilion Bird’s manifestation, an overwhelming aura erupted from her. Her pressure was now no weaker than Long Chen’s or Long Biluo’s at their peak.    

With a sweep of her wings—each feather sharp as a heavenly blade—the very world seemed to be cleaved apart.    

This was no ordinary divine ability. It carried the burning resentment of the Primal Chaos Vermilion Bird and the destructive force of nirvanic rebirth. Even the heavens trembled.    

BOOM!    

Once more, Long Biluo was blasted away, tumbling across the battlefield.    

She staggered to her feet, her face twisted with rage. “Damn it! Just you wait—I will kill you next time!”    

Her sword flared with blinding light. With a single slash, she tore open the void, vanishing into it without a trace.
