Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5659 A Test

Long Chen was in no rush to get there. The primal chaos Dragon Sovereign had already said that the Emperor reverse scale was extremely crafty and sinister. Its goal was to draw over more experts and have them die in order to absorb their energy.

Before this, the Emperor reverse scale had only wanted to break free of its seal. However, now it had another goal. That was to devour Long Chen’s dragon blood.

In theory, the sooner that Long Chen went, the better. There were many experts scattered throughout the Heaven Vein Mystic Realm who were still fighting for their own legacies and opportunities.

If he waited until those people obtained their own legacies and came here, the competition would be even fiercer. The pressure would be many times greater.

However, Long Chen knew that obtaining the Emperor reverse scale would be as difficult as ascending the heavens. With his bad luck, obtaining it through luck or coincidence was a fantasy.

Furthermore, Long Chen had a feeling that no matter what he did, in the end, he would be unable to avoid a battle with all the peak experts here.

In that case, Long Chen gave up on thinking about dealing with them. In the worst-case scenario, even if he was surrounded by countless enemies, he would still have to obtain the Emperor reverse scale.

The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest slowly moved forward. But inside there were cheers. The Dragonblood warriors and the Hidden Dragon warriors were practically dancing and singing. It felt like they had returned to their youth and found that  childish innocence once more.

Long Chen had Xia Chen set the direction of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest before he went into seclusion. He went into a secret room in the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. This place was pitch-black. Not even a trace of light could enter this place.

When Long Chen appeared in this darkness, a pair of large eyes locked onto him from behind. Those eyes were filled with malice.

This was the strongest training room in the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. Back then, Gu Yang challenged it seventeen, risking his life with every attempt, and only barely managed to pass in the end thanks to some luck.

This was the dark evil dragon race. An evil dragon’s discarnate spirit from the primal chaos era stood guard over this place. Seeing Long Chen appear, its eyes turned sinister. Just as it was about to transform into human form and attack, Long Chen coldly said, “Don’t move. I want to use your eyes to make a test.”

Just then, the evil dragon was astonished. It suddenly felt a powerful force lock onto it, freezing it.

“Sovereign blood pressure?! How can you-!?”

“Shut your mouth.” Long Chen frowned.

The dark evil dragon’s discarnate soul instantly went silent. It didn’t dare to speak. Long Chen sat down, facing it with his back.

“Don’t resist.”

Long Chen slowly closed his eyes. The dark evil dragon’s eyes also closed with him.

Suddenly, Long Chen opened his eyes. There was now only darkness in his eyes. The only light came from three thousand runes glimmering. They gradually formed a six-sided star diagram.

The three thousand runes in his starry sea also moved in a similar way. The six-sided star in Long Chen’s eyes was their projection.

“Whether or not I can succeed depends on this.” Long Chen took a deep breath. This was an extremely brazen idea he had come up with.

Suddenly, the six-sided star spun in his eyes. The dark evil dragon’s eyes also had a six-sided star diagram within them. But they were spinning the opposite direction.

The spinning stars suddenly came to a stop. An image appeared in the dark evil dragon’s eyes.

It was an image of endless blood. Within this sea of blood was a mountain composed of countless piled up bones.

This mountain was enormous and rose high into the sky, but within this endless bloody sea, it looked as tiny as a single drop of water.

At the bottom of the blood sea, it seemed possible to see countless resentful spirits roaming around. It almost felt possible to hear their wails.

At the peak of the bone mountain was a throne. It was vaguely possible to see a white-robed man sitting on it. The white-robed man seemed to sense something, and suddenly looked up.

AH!”

The evil dragon’s scream rang out. Its eyes exploded, dragon blood flowing out.

“What was that?!” it roared, its voice filled with terror.

The six-sided star diagram slowly faded from Long Chen’s eyes. He smiled.

“Thank you.”

After saying that, Long Chen returned to the main hall of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. things had calmed down now.

The Dragonblood warriors, the Hidden Dragon warriors, and the Wind God Sea Pavilion’s disciples had once more started cultivating. Thanks to the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest continuing onwards, the Emperor energy returned. They naturally wouldn’t give up this chance to get stronger.

The energy in this region was even stronger than what had been coming from the channel. The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest’s formations automatically gathered this Emperor energy inside.

This energy did not just contain dragon blood power. It also contained the laws of heaven and earth, as well as a powerful sacred aura. To any race, this was of great nourishment. If they missed it, they would regret it for a lifetime.

Everyone was celebrating their major increase in power, but they all knew they couldn’t waste time. If they didn’t work hard to continue growing, everything would be mercilessly stripped away. Their joy would become endless pain and regret.

Only by becoming stronger could they protect that beautiful feeling. That was the cruelty of cultivation. As long as you hadn’t reached the peak of the nine heavens, then everything that you had could turn to dust the next day.

“Boss!”

Only Xia Chen wasn’t in seclusion. He was in control of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest and keeping an eye on the outside.

“It seems that you’ve completely transformed this time!” Long Chen patted Xia Chen’s shoulder and smiled.

His voice quivering slightly, Xia Chen said, “I’ve already condensed my core veins. I really have completely transformed this time. I feel like my springtime has come.”

“That fast? Congratulations!” said Long Chen, surprised.

“Ah? Cough, boss, maybe you’ve misunderstood. This springtime isn’t the springtime that you’re thinking about,” said Xia Chen awkwardly.

Long Chen had thought that Xia Chen had already found someone he liked in the Hidden Dragon Legion. After all, Xia Chen had already gone through something tragic in that area, and had never truly recovered. It seemed that he had gotten excited for him for nothing.

“I meant that my divine runes have been condensed in my core veins. As long as my core veins exist, the divine runes cannot be extinguished, and as long as my bloodline power remains, I can release endless talismans,” said Xia Chen.

Long Chen was surprised at that. That was truly amazing. Using bloodline power to condense runes, and then with the support of dragon souls, he would have an endless supply of talismans.

Xia Chen’s talismans were truly mighty. But there was a major drawback, which was that inscribing them required an enormous amount of time.

After every battle, Xia Chen would use up all his stock and then have to inscribe more. In the entire Dragonblood Legion, he was definitely the busiest.

A formation master with no formation discs or talismans was like a tiger with no limbs or teeth. 

However, now Xia Chen could condense talismans with bloodline power. That was astonishing. It was no wonder he was so excited. His springtime had truly come.

“There’s people fighting up ahead! There’s humans.”

Xia Chen suddenly shouted. Through the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest’s formations, he grasped the fluctuations of a battle, as well as the aura of the human race.

“Let’s go take a look.”
