Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5576: Entrusting Final Hopes

over ten experts attacked fantian de at once. though they hadn’t had time to gather their full strength, their instinctive strikes were devastating. they were top-tier experts after all.

yet, they could barely break fantian de’s protective divine light. although they cut into his flesh, they failed to deal a decisive blow.

fantian de’s appearance was now grotesque. his body bore wounds so deep that bone gleamed beneath torn flesh. while blood streamed down his body, his eyes burned with fury.

“don’t just stand there! this is our best chance to kill him! after that, we’ll split the rabbits evenly!” shouted long chen, emerging from the void with a hatchet in hand.

“long chen!”

fantian de’s rage erupted the moment he saw him. his silver sword swung out, radiating killing intent.

boom!

long chen’s hatchet exploded, and the force sent long chen hurtling through the air. he coughed violently, nearly spitting blood.

“damn it, his six heaven veins have amplified his power to insane levels!” long chen muttered, his expression dark.

though long chen hadn’t used his full astral energy, the force of fantian de’s casual strike was staggering.

“die!”

fantian de lunged forward, his killing intent flaring. but before he could close the distance, the other experts attacked again, unleashing a barrage of strikes. they weren’t about to let this opportunity slip by.

they ignored long chen. to them, he was insignificant—a mere distraction. without heaven vein dragon qi or any discernible power fluctuations, he posed no real threat. but his earlier sneak attack on fantian de had given them a critical opening. they naturally wouldn’t give up this chance.

as for evenly dividing the rabbits? that was wishful thinking. the strong would claim what they wanted. it was a fleeting promise meant only to keep everyone focused on the task.

“fuck off!” shouted fantian de.

since his chance to kill long chen was ruined by these people, fantian de’s frustration boiled over. unable to retain his cool anymore, he ignited his blood qi and merged his six heaven veins, causing his aura to crazily rise.

boom!

a wave of faith energy blasted the group away, leaving them coughing up blood as they tumbled through the air.

before long chen had even done anything, a sudden suction force pulled him inside. once within the barrier, he was greeted by an overwhelming spiritual presence.

“great expert of the human race, please save my children!” a voice pleaded.

long chen’s gaze snapped to the withered moon tree before him. to his astonishment, the ancient tree possessed a sentient spirit, and its voice trembled with desperation.

“senior, i’ve come to help. i possess divine soil that can rejuvenate you,” long chen replied hastily.

although long chen was drawn to the jade rabbits, his goal was to make a trade with this moon tree. he wanted to exchange the primal chaos space’s soil for some rabbits.

it was a win-win solution. he would obtain the rabbits, and the moon tree would recover enough to prevent anyone else from obtaining it. in the end, long chen would be the sole benefactor.

“i can sense your kind intentions and the lunar energy within you. but it is too late. i’ve already transferred all my energy to protect these children. i am in the final step of returning to the dao, and no one can save me,” the moon tree said.

refusing to believe it, long chen placed a heap of soil on the moon tree’s roots. but to his astonishment, there was not even the slightest reaction from the moon tree. the primal chaos space’s soil had actually failed to heal it.

“don’t waste your efforts. thank you for trying. i only ask that you save my children. that is my final wish,” the moon tree pleaded.

it was like a mother entrusting her final hopes to someone before her death. its sincerity was moving.

seeing that the primal chaos space’s soil couldn’t save the moon tree, long chen helplessly took it back.

“can i see your moon tree? let me glimpse the new home for my children. only then can i pass on in peace,” the moon tree requested.

long chen nodded and shared an image of the primal chaos space through his spiritual strength. the withered tree trembled, as if moved by the vision. all of a sudden, the jade rabbits surrounding it suddenly flew toward its branches.

boom!

the moon tree shattered, releasing a blinding burst of divine light that engulfed long chen.

“that bastard!”

outside the barrier, fantian de and the others spotted long chen amidst the explosion of light. fury and desperation consumed them as they charged toward him, ready to fight to the death.
