Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5907 Lightning Blaze Spider King

Long Chen’s speed had already surpassed the limits of his cultivation realm. At some point, the violet qi within his divine ring had ignited, burning like a wildfire.

With a flash, Long Chen appeared right in front of Yuanshan. His movement seemed to transcend the laws of time and space. Aside from Liu Xihua and Lian Sanqiang, no one could even sense how he had moved.

All they saw was Long Chen’s palm gently pressing against Yuanshan’s face. At that moment, Yuanshan still wore a sinister smile, unaware of what was happening.

Long Chen’s speed had surpassed a certain limit, breaking the very concept of time. It was so fast that it created the illusion of everything slowing down.

BOOM!

A deafening explosion rang out. Long Chen and Yuanshan passed by each other like shooting stars.

Long Chen landed at the edge of the martial stage, barely stabilizing himself. In his hand was something new.

When the crowd caught sight of it, chills ran down their spines—it was a head. Long Chen had just torn off Yuanshan’s head!

Everyone was stunned by Long Chen’s terrifying speed. His speed was so terrifying that there was no room to react. No matter how powerful they were, it would be meaningless if they couldn’t even respond.

Long Chen stood with his back to Yuanshan, head still in hand.

He said, “At the dawn of the world, the human race had the weakest bodies. We were food and slaves of the ten thousand races, simply at the very bottom of the food chain. But from that adversity, we rose to the peak of the ten thousand races. We had no wings, so we learned to fly. No claws or fangs, so we forged weapons. No tough hides or scales, so we crafted armor. No powerful lifeforce, so we invented heaven-defying techniques to extend our lifespans. No innate bloodline or divine ability inheritances, so we created techniques to defy the heavens and pass down legacies through written characters. Step by step, generation after generation—we carved our way to the top. Do you really think it was just luck?”

By now, Yuanshan’s head had already regenerated—an eerie testament to the vegetative demons’ terrifying vitality. They had no real weak points, so killing them in one blow was nearly impossible.

But Long Chen had clearly expected this. With a casual flick, he tossed the severed head back. It landed with a thud at Yuanshan’s feet.

Long Chen continued, “Our strength isn’t something you can imagine. You think the Human Emperor realm is a shackle imposed by humans to dominate the ten thousand races. But without understanding our hearts, you’ll never grasp how narrow your thinking really is.”

Liu Xihua and the others were shaken by these words. After all, they weren’t meant solely for Yuanshan, but also for them.

For countless years, they had viewed the human form as shackles that suppressed their true nature. They had also thought that it was a sinister scheme of the human race to control the ten thousand race. But Long Chen’s words—and more importantly, his actions—started to shake the foundation of that belief.

Now, many Undying race’s elders had a question in their minds…

Could the Nine Star Master have some other goal for creating the Human Emperor shackles?

Yuanshan roared, “Shut your mouth! You can’t change reality with pretty words! The human race has already declined! You’re the greediest, most treacherous race of the nine heavens and ten lands! You murder your own kind! What makes you think you’re qualified to speak of your greatness?!”

Long Chen shook his head.

“I never claimed the human race was greater. In fact, I hate them too. My hands are soaked with the blood of my own race—enough to drown the entire Sea of Oblivion.”

“You—”

Even Yuanshan was stunned. Enough blood to cover the Sea of Oblivion? What kind of massacre was that?

The Undying experts gasped. Only Liu Ruyan and Chu Yao remained calm.

With a steady voice, Long Chen said, “Humans are the most complex lifeforms… Our nature is a paradox. We are greedy and kind, destructive and righteous. We follow our instincts and then defy them. We are both wise and foolish, good and bad, creators and destroyers—simply a collection of contradictions.”

Yuanshan snarled, “Stop spouting a bunch of nonsense! Shut up and fight! Just now, I was just careless—I won’t give you another such chance!”

Though Yuanshan was in his fighting stance, he didn’t take the initiative to attack. Instead, he spread his arms wide. Black threads erupted from his body, weaving into a bizarre spherical domain as he waited for Long Chen to strike.

However, Long Chen didn’t even look at his domain. Instead, his gaze turned toward the Undying race’s experts.

Long Chen explained, “What makes the human race strong… is that we reflect. On others, on ourselves. On truth and lies, right and wrong, good and evil—”

“Shut up!”

Yuanshan couldn’t take it anymore. With a roar, he charged forward, dragging the entire black-thread domain behind him.

Countless threads shot out like spider silk seeking to entangle him. A disgusting stench filled the air, and everyone who inhaled it felt a wave of nausea and dizziness.

“It’s toxic!” exclaimed Liu Rujiao.

Most frightening of all, this toxin affected the soul. The moment the Undying race’s experts breathed it in, pain erupted in their souls, and black spots appeared on their skin. Everyone was poisoned instantly.

They had never seen such a powerful toxin before. Even from this distance, it still reached them, and they couldn’t resist it.

Even the Devil Eye Water Lily race’s side was affected. Black spots appeared on their skins as well.

However, as members of the vegetative demon race, they naturally had strong resistance to this kind of toxin. Combined with the distance, which diluted its potency, the poison wasn’t fatal.

But a human, exposed at such close range—how could they possibly survive it?

Everyone quickly looked at the martial stage.

Like searing hot wires, these threads hissed as they struck the ground. White smoke curled into the air where they touched the bricks, sizzling ominously.

“Long Chen!” Liu Rujiao and the others cried out in shock.

Just then, a swirling vortex appeared in front of Long Chen, sucking the toxic threads into it.

Long Chen’s palm was extended. In it was a vine leaf, glowing with vitality. It devoured the poison with relish, glowing even more brightly afterward.

Yuanshan’s face turned green.

Long Chen waved his hand, and the leaf vanished. He turned to Yuanshan.

Long Chen said, “Don’t be so impatient. I’ll be done soon.”

Turning back to the Undying race’s side, Long Chen continued, “Humans are strong because we understand ourselves. We know what we lack, and we constantly work to make up for our weaknesses. From nothing to something, from weaklings to experts—we invest everything on the line. If you want to grow stronger, you must open your hearts and take in everything.

“Why is the sea so great? Because it accepts water from every source. Whether it is a mighty river or a tiny stream, whether it is pure or dirty, the sea accepts them all. If you want to grow, let go of your pride and arrogance. When your hands are full and you can take in no more—open your arms and embrace the entire world.”

At this moment, Liu Minghao quivered, too excited to speak. He looked at Long Chen worshipfully.

“Boss Long Chen…”

He finally grasped the meaning behind all of Long Chen’s words.

Long Chen smiled. He had planted a seed in Liu Minghao’s heart—a seed that would soon bloom.

Of everyone in the Undying race, Liu Minghao’s comprehension was the deepest. The others were still trying to catch up, feeling a bit lost.

Even the elders like Liu Xihua were confused. Why was Long Chen going to such lengths? What was he trying to pass on? Why did Liu Minghao look like he had received divine enlightenment?

“I was really foolish. If I’d realized this earlier, how could I have lost to Qifeng?” Liu Minghao muttered.

“Big Brother Minghao, what is boss Long Chen talking about?” Liu Qingyu asked in confusion.

“In the Seven Treasure Space, we faced countless terrifying enemies. They could kill us in one blow, so we kept thinking about how to defend ourselves. But did we ever consider… learning from them?” Liu Minghao replied, a touch of shame apparent on his face.

“Eh?”

Everyone was baffled. That thought had never occurred to them. They had always believed they could only use their race’s techniques. That was the iron rule.

Thinking back on Long Chen’s words, they finally realized it.

The Undying race was part of the world too. All the Daos of heaven and earth were theirs to explore. If they could use them—why not? Weren’t those techniques gifts from the heavens? Why wouldn’t they use everything they had experienced?

“We were really foolish!” Liu Rujiao exclaimed.

When they reflected on the techniques they’d encountered in the Seven Treasure Space, many of them were indeed usable by their race. If they used their innate abilities to copy those techniques, they might become even more powerful.

As they mulled over this revelation, a spatial gate suddenly appeared on the martial stage, drawing their attention.

A frightening aura gushed out of the gate, and they saw a figure come crawling out.

“That’s…!”

Gasps echoed across the battlefield.

Yuanshan had summoned his contractual beast.

Like Qifeng’s, it was a spider. But this one was different. Its entire body was golden, and its aura was several magnitudes stronger.

“Lightning Blaze Spider King?!” Liu Xihua exclaimed in disbelief.

Even Long Chen was stunned.

But then… he nearly drooled.

Good fellow… you came at the right time!
