Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5598 Sacrifice

chapter 5598 sacrifice

everyone fell deathly silent. the only sound was the clatter of sha tiantong’s broken teeth hitting the ground. su yu and the others could only stare in stunned disbelief.

behind long chen, his divine ring shimmered with an ethereal light, projecting a vast starry sea. within that cosmic expanse, a majestic starry dragon swam, its movements resonating with an ancient and profound rhythm. its aura seemed to change with every breath from long chen.

everything bathed in the starlight seemed to be under long chen’s control. the ten thousand laws, the ten thousand daos, and the lives of all who lived within them were under his command.

as his astral dragon qi circulated, long chen felt unprecedented power flowing into him. for the first time, he felt the unrestrained joy of mastery over this immense energy.

“so, this astral vein connects the starry sea in my dantian to the stars beyond the nine heavens,” long chen murmured, a revelation dawning upon him.

this was one of the secrets of the nine star hegemon body art.

“correct. only now can you be considered a true nine star heir. your cultivation of the nine star hegemon body art has deviated, causing a mutation. while this mutation strengthens you for now, it will make future breakthroughs exponentially more challenging. be prepared for the trials ahead.” said the earth cauldron.

since their souls were connected, it naturally knew what long chen was thinking. to prevent long chen from getting lost in his delight, it gave him a warning.

long chen chuckled, unbothered by the warning. “the future can wait. right now, i’ll savor this moment and act as arrogantly as i please.”

the transformation brought by a single astral vein was staggering, to the point that even an eight-vein heaven saint was no longer able to compete with long chen. the fake nine-vein heaven saint in front of him couldn’t threaten him either.

“let’s test the true might of my astral dragon qi,” long chen said, stepping forward. he shot toward sha tiantong like a streak of starlight.

“devil flame slash!” sha tiantong roared, his devil saber releasing a torrent of primordial fury. backed by his ignited heaven vein dragon qi, this blow tore the heavens apart.

however, long chen didn’t even flinch in front of it. starlight flared on his fist as a dragon diagram spun upon it, and he met the saber’s devastating strike head-on. nôv(el)b\\jnn

boom!

blood gushed out of his whole body and gradually condensed into various diagrams. in an instant, a bloody scent filled the air.

su yu and the others’ souls shuddered when they smelled it. an intense sensation of death enveloped their hearts.

“this is a curse art!” shouted a squad leader.

“no, it’s not a curse, it’s... a sacrifice!” su yu cried out in shock.

su yu wasn’t sure what kind of technique this was, but she knew sha tiantong was planning on unleashing a major technique. once he successfully cast it, his power would reach an unprecedented height.

su yu tensed. she wanted long chen to hurry up and interrupt his technique, but long chen was just standing there. rather than looking nervous, he actually seemed expectant of it.

after swallowing her words, su yu turned back to her comrades and said, “this is a rare chance to see a battle between peak experts. many people never get such a chance in their lives. focus and immerse yourselves in this feeling of death. if we survive, it will greatly aid our future breakthroughs.”

“yes!”

before this, they had been too frightened to think about gaining experience from this battle. but using the will of these two peak experts to stimulate their potential was indeed the smart thing to do.

with su yu’s reminder, they immediately pushed aside their fear, using their heart to sense the changes in the heavenly daos. they listened to the sound of the ten thousand daos and tried to comprehend the will of these supreme experts. this was a once-in-a-lifetime lesson.

“devil ancestor blessing, ten thousand devil manifestation!”

sha tiantong’s roar shattered the heavens, and countless devil figures appeared in his manifestation. in an instant, his aura skyrocketed and blew apart the surrounding void.

“die!”

sha tiantong’s saber descended, and a devastating slash reached long chen with blinding speed. the space around long chen erupted, consumed by chaos as grand dao runes filled the air.

“long chen!” su yu and the others cried out.
