Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5539: Warning

thirty million heavenly geniuses marched grandly out of the wind god sea pavilion, with feng xinyue as the only senior figure accompanying them.

after walking out of the wind god sea pavilion, long chen sensed that the laws of heaven and earth had changed. the natural qi was chaotic and not suitable for cultivation. curious, long chen asked feng xinyue about it.

feng xinyue explained, “the heaven vein mystic realm is drawing away all the qi flow of the heaven essence world, including the dragon veins of the major factions. as a result, space itself has become unstable.”

she added, “all transportation formations are now nonfunctional. no matter how strong you are, travel is possible only on foot.”

as they reached the boundary of the wind god sea pavilion, they were greeted by an unsettling sight: countless devil creatures surging toward them with blood-red eyes, their movements wild and frenzied.

“the opening of the heaven vein mystic realm has disrupted the laws of the world,” feng xinyue said. “these creatures have been provoked and become crazy.”

with a casual wave of her hand, feng xinyue unleashed her power. in an instant, the leader of the devil creatures—an emperor-level being—was decapitated from an immense distance. its head then soared through the air and landed in her grasp.

the severed head belonged to a devil creature with goat-like horns. blood-colored runes shimmered faintly in its eyes, fading as life left the creature.

feng xinyue murmured, “nine blood runes.”

“master, what does that mean?” asked tang wan-er.

feng xinyue explained, “these devil creatures are not native to the nine heavens and ten lands, but they are the most sensitive beings to our world’s changes. during big upheavals, their eyes have displayed at most six blood runes.”

“you’re saying nine blood runes have never appeared before?” long chen asked.

feng xinyue shook her head solemnly. “they did appear once—in an era so distant that it predates recorded history.”

“that’s...” long chen’s heart shook.

“our ancestors used their lives to buy us time—time for this moment, for us to rise and fulfill their dreams of restoring the human race to the peak of the ten thousand races. and here you stand, trembling before the battle has even begun? countless heroic spirits of the human race are looking at us now. do you not feel ashamed?!”

toward the end, long chen’s fury seethed uncontrollably. these idiots had gone through the trials of the seven treasure space, but their will was still freaking weak. was it all a waste of time?

one of the disciples bowed his head hastily and pleaded, “senior apprentice-brother long chen, we were wrong. please forgive us.”

after taking a deep breath to calm himself down, long chen said, “i know that since you’ve been sealed, your families have long since passed away, leaving you alone in this world. but that does not absolve you of responsibility. did you not know how many resources you consumed while you were sealed? where did these resources come from? how many generations have worked hard to protect you to this date? if you think about it, why did they spend lifetimes protecting you?”

long chen knew the heart of the problem. the families of the sealed experts had long since vanished, so they had no sense of belonging toward the wind god sea pavilion. since they felt all alone, it was only natural that they became selfish, caring only about themselves.

however, long chen refused to let them ignore the sacrifices their clansmen had made for them.

long chen’s voice was strong, imbued with his indomitable will and spiritual strength. he had to make his words pierce their hearts and minds.

as a result, these sealed heavenly geniuses turned silent; a wave of shame washed over them. they were sealed because they carried the dreams of their parents and families. how could they think only of their own safety?

long chen’s words struck like a bell of enlightenment, rousing them from their selfish stupor.

seeing this, feng xinyue was impressed. long chen’s sharp insight and ability to inspire were gratifying to witness.

standing beside long chen, tang wan-er looked at him with love and admiration. he is truly a peerless hero of the world. what more could i ask for in a husband?

meanwhile, the sealed experts cursed themselves. they hated themselves for being too selfish, too stupid, and too ignorant. when they saw the devil creatures charging at them, their flames of fury exploded.

with a roar of unrestrained fury, they charged into battle, ready to prove their worth and honor the sacrifices of the past.
