NINE STAR HEGEMON BODY ARTS

Chapter 5831 Dogs

Liu Changtian was the current lord of the Undying Willow race and the highest symbol of belief within their ranks. To say that he had died was definitely the greatest provocation to the Undying Willow race. From top to bottom, killing intent exploded out of them.

Even the elegant woman’s expression darkened. Her once gentle gaze sharpened, and she coldly declared, “Although my Undying race suffered a grievous blow in the primal chaos era, there is a saying among the human race: ‘A dying camel is still stronger than a horse.’ If the Daluo Azure Lotus race believes that my Undying race has declined to the point where anyone can insult us, you are gravely mistaken.”

Before the enraged Undying race, the elder of the Daluo Azure Lotus race slowly smiled, the wrinkles on his face deepening. 

He said, “To borrow another phrase from the human race: a new king must lead a new era. The Undying race has governed all vegetative species for countless years. I believe it is time for you to abdicate.”

Long Chen instantly understood the situation. The Undying race, the Daluo Azure Lotus race, and the Devil Eye Water Lily race were all plant-based branches of the demon race. 

Long Chen had read texts about how vast the demon race was and how they had countless branches. The in-fighting between them was exceptionally intense.

As for these plant-based demon races, they were a very peculiar existence amongst the demon race. They almost had no interaction with the other demon races, so there wasn’t that much information about them. Even within the High Firmament Academy, Long Chen had found little information about them. 

Now, with the Daluo Azure Lotus race arriving in such force, it was clear they intended to challenge the Undying Willow race’s leadership. The Undying Willow race had long been the ruling faction among the vegetative demon races, standing as their emperor. But now, the Daluo Azure Lotus race sought to seize that throne.

Long Chen hadn’t expected to stumble into such a major power struggle upon arriving. However, this spectacle had little to do with him. He only wanted to find Chu Yao. Unfortunately, trapped at the front lines, he couldn’t see what was happening at the rear.

Behind the front lines were the mid-stage Demon Emperors, followed by the early-stage Demon Emperors, then the Human Emperors. The crowd stretched into an endless sea. As for the Heaven Saint disciples, they were likely deep in the forest, completely out of sight.

If Chu Yao and Liu Ruyan were here, they would be among that mass. Long Chen was tempted to shout out Chu Yao’s name, but in this tense atmosphere, he restrained himself.

He glanced at the disciples of the Undying Dragon Tree race. Their expressions were filled with rage, their bodies trembling with barely restrained fury. They looked like they could charge at their enemies at any moment.

He couldn’t help but admire them. The warriors of the Undying race were truly fearless, standing unwavering even before such an overwhelming enemy force.

“Our position was not won through competition or seized by force,” the beautiful woman declared calmly. 

After a small chuckle, she continued, “We shed our blood and sacrificed our lives during times of chaos to protect all the lifeforms of our branch. Then, they willingly followed us as their lord. If you wish to take this position, you are free to try—so long as you can earn their recognition. 

“Now that heaven and earth are reviving, countless slumbering beasts are awakening. Alongside this revival comes a great crisis. If your Daluo Azure Lotus race can stand as the pillar supporting our people through these times and protect the vegetative demon race, I believe they will willingly follow you. The question is whether or not the Daluo Azure Lotus race possesses the courage to face those ferocious enemies.”

The woman’s tone was always composed, but Long Chen could detect the disdain in her final words.

Huai Yushan leaned close and whispered into Long Chen’s ear, “The Daluo Azure Lotus race is infamous for being a treacherous seed among the vegetative demon race. When true battles arise, they are the first to hide, but when it comes to splitting the spoils, they always rush to the front. They survived the primal chaos era largely unscathed because they fled and hid, suffering minimal losses. Back then, they were a mere third-rate power. But now, they dare to challenge my Undying race? It’s infuriating.”

Huai Yushan’s words were not just for Long Chen, but for the entire Undying Dragon Tree race. Most of their disciples had never even heard of the Daluo Azure Lotus race before. No wonder the Undying race was so enraged. A once-insignificant power now dared to provoke them? There was no greater insult.

“Those fools don’t realize that the various Undying race factions will soon gather in the Undying Demon Forest. If they were all here, the Daluo Azure Lotus race would be on their knees, begging for mercy,” Huai Yushan hissed.

Unlike Long Chen, she was part of the Undying race and could sense the gathering of their forces. Their faction had merely been the first to arrive. It was only because the rest had yet to assemble that the Daluo Azure Lotus race dared to act so arrogantly. If the entire Undying race were present, the little Daluo Azure Lotus race wouldn’t dare to be so impudent.

The elder of the Daluo Azure Lotus race suddenly burst into laughter. “How refreshing to see the Undying race act so magnanimous. But I don’t mind telling you—our Daluo Azure Lotus race has long since transcended our past selves. What you see here is only one of our seventy branches!”

Huai Yushan’s expression darkened at that. Long Chen scoffed, “Who knows if he’s just bragging?”

The elder continued smugly, “Not only that, but we have also secured the support of the Yan Xu line and the Brahma line! We are now close allies!”

Fuck!

Long Chen’s eyes widened. Even here, he managed to run into his enemies?

The Brahma line and the Yan Xu line—both of them were his mortal foes. No wonder he had found these fellows so detestable from the start.

“Now, the Daluo Azure Lotus race possesses the strength to protect all vegetative demon races,” the elder boasted. “As long as you obey us, we will ensure your safety. There will be no casualties in this chaotic era!”

At first, the elder’s words seemed to give the beautiful woman pause. But then she sneered and coldly retorted, “I was wondering what gave the Daluo Azure Lotus race such arrogance. So you’ve become someone else’s dogs.”

At her words, the Daluo Azure Lotus race’s experts erupted with fury. The Undying Willow race’s warriors, in turn, unleashed their auras. The battlefield trembled with tension as both sides teetered on the edge of all-out war.
