Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5586: Six Horn Fiend Fly

this was an enormous, isolated space. at its center, a woman radiating starlight plunged an astral sword through the head of a fiendish devil.

the devil was a grotesque creature, having two wings, six spider-like arms, and horns protruding from its head. its sharp limbs were embedded in the woman’s body, and black venom oozed from the wounds, corroding her flesh.

as long chen entered this space, the woman turned toward him and smiled faintly.

long chen instantly recognized her as a nine star heir. without hesitation, he thrust his lightning spear at the devil.

boom!

the lightning spear exploded before even reaching its target. the devil’s wings trembled, and long chen coughed up blood, staggering from the backlash.

long chen was shocked. even with the nine star heir suppressing it, he couldn’t pierce the devil’s basic defenses. just what kind of monster was this?

“hmph, after trillions of years, the nine star line has declined to this pathetic state. it seems your luck ran out the day the nine star master perished,” mocked the devil.

every syllable was like the sound of death, and its voice was icy and deep, dripping with bloodlust. even long chen was shaken by it.

however, long chen’s fury instantly seethed. if he couldn’t even deal with a suppressed devil, he really would be trash. just as he was pondering how to attack it, the nine star heir transmitted a message to him.

“there’s no rush. it’s a rank-nine devil emperor. with your current power, you cannot break the protective divine light of its emperor crown.”

“a rank-nine devil emperor?”nôv(el)b\\jnn

long chen’s heart shook. this was a rank-nine devil emperor from the primal chaos era? no wonder it was so terrifying.

feng xinyue had mentioned that only ancient experts of the primal chaos era could manifest emperor crowns externally. after the primal chaos war, the world changed, making it impossible for anyone to externalize these crowns.

the nine star heir froze momentarily, her eyes widening in surprise. then she smiled, a rare, gentle expression breaking through her battle-hardened exterior.

“ever since i was born, i’ve been fighting,” she said. “i don’t remember anyone ever praising me. thank you. even in death, i can be at peace.”

her words startled long chen. then, he remembered that nine star heirs were normally solitary existences or fanatical madmen. to hear her speak of such a life left him with questions. who had guided her on such a path?

however, this wasn’t the time to dwell on such mysteries. if he wanted answers, he had to save her first.

just then, the barrier around them started to shudder, and the entire astral lake was bubbling.

“they’ve absorbed too much energy!” she transmitted urgently. “my barrier is going out of control, and i won’t last much longer. little brother, you have to kill it—don’t worry about me!”

even then, long chen hesitated. sacrificing her was unthinkable for him.

just then, long chen heard something from within the primal chaos space, causing his eyes to light up with hope. the earth cauldron, evilmoon, the demon moon cauldron, and the heaven flipping seal had come out of seclusion.

“wow, a primal chaos-era monster? what a feast! let me at it!” shouted evilmoon, its voice brimming with excitement.

“it’s alive and even restrained. why not use the heaven soul blood curse art and refine it into a puppet?” suggested the earth cauldron.

hearing this, long chen slapped his leg in realization. how had he not thought of that earlier?

the earth cauldron’s suggestion made perfect sense. the heaven soul blood curse art was far more effective on a living, restrained target.

a wicked grin spread across long chen’s face as he approached the six horn fiend fly.

“don’t worry, it’ll be over soon...”
