Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5680: Violet World

A violet world stretched before them, its divine radiance filling their vision.

This violet was not the eerie hue of demons, nor was it gaudy or overwhelming. Instead, it exuded an air of solemn majesty, as though everything within it was crowned with the glory of heaven and earth. Bathed in this light, all things seemed to wear an invisible crown that allowed them to look down on all others.

Before Long Chen and his companions got in, the violet world seemed to only cover a few thousand miles, and Long Chen could clearly sense its borders.

Yet, the moment they stepped inside, it seemed endless, as if it could encompass the entire Heaven Essence World. This contradiction was unsettling. Either space itself was twisted here, or time had been distorted. The very laws governing this place were unlike anything Long Chen had encountered before.@@@@

At the core of this violet realm burned a blinding sun. Its brilliance was such that looking directly at it was impossible. Endless dragon runes coiled and danced around this celestial body, and from within its depths came the echoes of a dragon’s roar, rolling like endless thunder. The sound resonated through their souls, shaking them to the core.

Waves of dragon might pulsed outward, and this violet sun radiated an energy so sacred and immense that even Long Chen’s heaven veins trembled involuntarily. The dragon energy within this space was so dense that it had condensed into a visible mist.

“Is that the Emperor reverse scale?”

Xia Chen and the others gasped as their gazes locked onto the violet sun at the world’s center.

Although they had been mentally prepared for the shocking power of the Emperor reverse scale, they had not expected it to be this mighty.

In front of this violet sun, Song Mingyuan, Xia Chen, Gu Yang, and the others who had become nine-vein Heaven Saints felt like ants. The pressure was so great that it terrified them.

“This... this thing could probably destroy the entire Heaven Vein Mystic Realm,” Tang Wan-er murmured, her voice shaking slightly.

She was the only one among them who had secretly condensed eleven core veins. Her perception far surpassed the rest, and what she sensed from the Emperor reverse scale sent chills through her very soul.

Gu Yang, Song Mingyuan, Xia Chen, and the others exchanged uneasy glances. Bai Shishi, too, looked at Long Chen and then at Tang Wan-er. Her lips parted as if she wanted to speak, but she couldn’t bring herself to say the words.

In truth, all of them were thinking the same thing, which was to give up on the Emperor reverse scale. They could finish absorbing the dragon energy here, become nine-vein Heaven Saints, and then leave.

They were all experienced fighters. The moment they saw the Emperor reverse scale, they had a feeling that it was not something they could subdue—at least, not with the strength available in the Heaven Vein Mystic Realm.

They all understood their own limits and knew that the Emperor reverse scale was beyond their grasp. As mere spectators, they enjoyed seeing experts kill each other.

“Oh, there are a lot of humans here,” said Xia Chen.

Xia Chen was surprised to see piles of humans stretching all the way to the Emperor reverse scale.

Each pile consisted of millions, or even tens of millions, of people. The sheer number of experts gathered was immeasurable.

As they advanced, the strength of individual factions increased. At first, experts with core veins were rare, with nine core veins being almost unheard of.

However, as they progressed, core vein Heaven Saints became more common. Nine-core-vein experts were no longer an anomaly—every faction had a few.

By this point, these factions were no longer so willing to yield. The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest’s intimidating aura had lost its edge against them.

Instead of moving aside, they let the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest fly over their heads. They were confident, believing they could resist if the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest made a move.

They feared that stepping aside would mean losing their position. If the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest took their spot, they would be forced to fight for a new spot or swallow their pride and retreat.

The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest continued until it neared the dragon scale, and now, no one got out of their way. Instead, when the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest approached them, they all assumed battle stances.

The factions here in the center were formidable, each boasting monstrous elites. Heaven Saints with nine core veins were no longer rare, as each faction had at least ten such experts in their ranks.

Even so, they remained wary of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, afraid it would target their spot.

The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest pressed forward, and the experts in its path watched anxiously.

“Guo Ran, go out there. It’s your turn to show off,” said Long Chen.
