Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5651: I Want It All

long chen’s divine ring was like a giant mouth crazily devouring the energy gushing out of the channel.

in an instant, the withered dragon blood in his body was revitalized. it was like a parched traveler suddenly thrown into a crystal-clear stream, drinking in the nourishment with unrestrained greed.

“don’t intentionally absorb everything. that will introduce more impurities, as well as the will of the emperor reverse scale. just let the runes absorb it. they will instinctively pick what suits them best. now that your dragon blood has fully merged with you, there’s no longer any risk of it developing a will of its own,” advised the dragon sovereign.

originally, long chen had planned to devour all the energy using his divine ring, but hearing this, he immediately adjusted his approach.

instead of forcefully absorbing everything, he simply opened a window, allowing his dragon blood to select the energy it desired. what it rejected was expelled through the divine ring.

his dragon blood runes were quivering; they were the final products of the blood merger art. those tiny runes were like bottomless pits absorbing the energy of heaven and earth.

gradually, his withered dragon blood recovered, now transformed into something wholly different. as it surged through his veins, long chen could feel it responding seamlessly to his will. for the first time, his connection to his dragon blood was absolute, a harmony he had never before experienced.

with every pulse, he felt his strength multiply.

boom!

suddenly, a surge of dragon blood energy erupted. his body had reached full saturation.

long chen extended a finger and casually swiped through the air. after that, a sharp crack split the void, releasing an ear-piercing explosion.

“how does it feel?”

the primal chaos dragon sovereign’s voice rang in his mind, feigning nonchalance, but unable to mask its pride.

although the nine star master was very strong, he could never pass down his legacy. this meant that the nine star master had to be a peerless genius because he could just eat and learn his abilities.

furthermore, long chen had already set foot on his own path—one without a master to guide him, without past experiences to draw from, and without any clear guidelines to follow. he was feeling his way forward in the dark, forging ahead through sheer will.

yet, the dragon sovereign never voiced this belief. perhaps it was unwilling to impose its own will upon long chen. perhaps its pride refused to allow such interference. instead, it merely offered a reminder—sometimes, the hardest part of life was making a choice.

however, the dragon sovereign didn’t want to say that, nor did it want its own selfish motives to pull long chen from his path. it was only telling long chen that sometimes people had to make difficult choices in life.

long chen was silent for a long time before smiling bitterly. “how could i not know senior’s hopes? however, whether it is you or the nine star master, you have both saved my life more than once.”

“whether it’s you or the nine star master, both of you have saved my life more than once. back in the phoenix cry empire, if not for the nine star hegemon body art, i would have perished long ago. it was that very technique that gave me the chance to defy the heavens and rewrite my fate. in a way, this life was gifted to me by the nine star master.

“back in the phoenix cry empire, if it weren’t for the nine star hegemon body art, i would have died. it was the nine star hegemon body art that gave me a chance to defy the heavens and change my fate. it can be said that this life was given to me by the nine star master. you also know that i don’t like owing debts. it doesn’t matter if the path of the nine stars leads to an end, and it doesn’t matter what price i have to pay. even if i have to die a hundred times, i will walk this road without regret.”

long chen paused here and clenched his teeth. “you also know i am a very greedy person. i want the nine star legacy, and i want senior’s. i want everything that can make me stronger.”

“are you not afraid of biting off more than you can chew?”

“i’m not afraid. my teeth are strong, and my appetite is good,” chuckled long chen.

the dragon sovereign simply sighed at that.

“fine, in that case, i won’t force you. i will transmit a secret art of the sovereign dragon race. it’s time to condense new heaven veins!”
