Nine Star Hegemon Body Art

Long Chen was charging forward when the space in front of him lightened. Following that, he saw countless figures roiling like the tide—millions and millions of them.

At the forefront of this chaotic scene was an enormous spatial channel, guarded by a majestic Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. This ancient treasure of the Dragon Domain radiated divine light, serving as an impenetrable barrier to block entry into the channel. All on its own, it managed to block them from entering.

To Long Chen’s surprise, he didn’t see any of the Dragonblood warriors. However, Tang Wan-er was leading the Hidden Dragon warriors and the Wind God Sea Pavilion’s experts to protect the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. She stood at the center of the battle, facing off against a man in golden robes, her blood-soaked companions fighting valiantly by her side.

Her opponent wielded a golden staff and exuded torrential demonic qi. Though he was a full head shorter than Tang Wan-er, his six core veins—radiating golden Blood Qi—emitted a suffocating pressure even Long Chen could feel.

“This channel was created by the Dragonblood Legion. If you want to take a share, you’ll have to prove you’re capable,” sneered Tang Wan-er.

Divine energy flowed around her, and countless wind blades swirled in a storm of power. Her four azure core veins exuded a sacred qi.

It was four core veins against six. Tang Wan-er was definitely at a disadvantage there, but the sacred qi coming from her core veins perfectly counterbalanced her opponent’s powerful aura.

“Take a share? You misunderstand,” the man in gold robes mocked, his tone dripping with arrogance. “I, Hou Tianwu, do not share. Your Long Chen is rumored to be very arrogant, challenging the Heaven Demon Alliance itself. Today, I’ll show him what true power looks like. First, I’ll kill his brothers. Then, I’ll capture his woman and make him regret ever being born.”

“Who do you think you are?” Xiao Yue retorted defiantly. “If big brother Long Chen were here, you’d be on your knees begging for mercy!”

Xiao Yue had condensed a core vein. In fact, eighteen experts in the Hidden Dragon Legion had condensed a core vein, and the rest were ordinary nine-vein Heaven Saints.

“You’re asking for it,” snarled Hou Tianwu.

With a flick of his golden staff, a whirlpool of twisted space formed around Xiao Yue. Tang Wan-er instinctively moved to intervene, her blade raised, but the whirlpool vanished just as abruptly as it appeared, leaving her momentarily stunned.

Just then, a brick smashed into Hou Tianwu’s head and sent him flying.

“Big Brother Long Chen!” the Hidden Dragon warriors cheered in unison, their morale surging.

Seeing him, the Wind God Sea Pavilion’s experts suddenly felt hope reignite within them. The pavilion’s thirty million strong had been fighting valiantly, but they were vastly outnumbered. The enemy’s ranks were formidable, and the suffocating pressure weighed heavily on everyone. Before Long Chen arrived, they hadn’t believed they could survive this.

However, Tang Wan-er had sworn to protect the Dragonblood Legion with her life. Determined, she led her forces into a bloody battle. To claim they weren’t afraid would be a lie, but their resolve burned brighter than their fear.

The moment Long Chen appeared, everything changed. Confidence surged through the ranks, and their fear dissipated.

After sending Hou Tianwu flying, Long Chen didn’t even look at him and came to Tang Wan-er’s side first.

“What happened?” asked Long Chen.

Their souls connected, and in an instant, Long Chen grasped the situation.

When the Dragonblood Legion first entered the Heaven Vein Mystic Realm, they had been drawn directly here. Using their dragon blood power, they awakened the Emperor reverse scale. The process was grueling and slow, draining their core energy, bloodline strength, and Spiritual Strength to the brink.

Moreover, resisting the dragon might with sheer willpower further pushed their essence, qi, and spirit to their limits, leaving them dangerously overdrawn.

Finally, when the Emperor reverse scale emerged, eight channels opened around it, unleashing a torrent of boundless energy. It was the perfect opportunity for the warriors to recover. But just as the channels opened, an endless swarm of demon race experts descended, drawn like predators to fresh blood.

The ordinary Dragonblood warriors had already collapsed, their strength utterly spent. Gu Yang and the others rushed to secure them inside the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest to recuperate.

Gu Yang and the stronger warriors fought valiantly to hold the demons at bay. However, more powerful foes kept appearing. They had sent out an urgent call for aid, but the Emperor reverse scale’s energy suppressed all sorts of communications, preventing their distress signal from traveling far.

Luckily, Tang Wan-er was nearby. Spotting the Dragonblood Legion in peril, she immediately rushed to their side. Her timely arrival allowed Gu Yang and the others to retreat into the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest to recover their strength.

Gu Yang had assured her that as long as she could hold the line for a little longer, they would rejoin the fight once they regained at least fifty percent of their power.

However, the situation had only worsened. The Heaven Demon Alliance’s forces continued to converge, as if guided by something.

Two hours had passed since Tang Wan-er arrived, and the battlefield was drenched in blood. Every second felt heavier than the last, as the battle only grew fiercer.

When Hou Tianwu appeared, the relentless assault from the enemies momentarily eased, giving Tang Wan-er and the Dragonblood Legion a brief window to catch their breath.

“Damn dogshit, how dare you sneak attack me?!” Hou Tianwu roared furiously, his face twisted in rage.

Although the brick had struck him squarely in the head, he was unharmed. A gleaming crown on his head had absorbed the impact, its light flashing the moment the attack landed.

While he wasn’t injured, the humiliation was undeniable. Gritting his teeth, he raised his massive golden staff. With a furious bellow, he swung it down at Long Chen, golden light cascading from the strike.

Without even glancing back, Long Chen raised Evilmoon, which was bathed in starlight. His astral veins ignited, their power surging through him as he swung Evilmoon at the golden staff.

BOOM!

The collision unleashed a thunderous shockwave, and golden light burst across the sky. Hou Tianwu staggered back several steps.

Gasps echoed from the surrounding Heaven Demon Alliance experts. They knew Hou Tianwu’s strength well, and seeing him forced back was a shocking sight.

Long Chen turned slowly to look at him. The exchange may have made Hou Tianwu appear weaker, but Long Chen understood the truth: Hou Tianwu’s strength was on par with Long Zaiye’s. He had only lost in the previous exchange because of a fluke.

“Eight Star Battle Armor!”

Recognizing the challenge before him, Long Chen didn’t hesitate. Astral light blazed around him as he activated his strongest power.
