Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

A crescent moon fang shot out from Evilmoon, expanding until it filled the heavens. It gleamed with an aura of destruction, as though it could cleave apart the fabric of existence itself.

This blade resembled the death god’s scythe, yet its edge was cloaked in shimmering stars, flames, and lightning. Its aura carried the power to devour the heavens and obliterate the world itself.

As the crescent moon fang descended, all the sounds in the surroundings were consumed, leaving an eerie stillness in its wake.

Wherever it passed, all life was drained to nothingness. The very essence of the world seemed to wither beneath its presence.

Even the ancient dragon patriarchs—beings who had witnessed countless epochs—stood in stunned silence. They had never encountered such a bizarre technique.

The huge crescent moon fang arced toward the Silver Hair Void Crusher with unstoppable force, causing his soul to tremble, his body to quake, and an overwhelming premonition of death to flood him.

Never in his darkest nightmares had he imagined Long Chen capable of unleashing such catastrophic might. This attack had him completely locked in place, unable to escape.

With desperation etched into his face, the Silver Hair Void Crusher bellowed, “Divine throne possession! Ten thousand Daos return to the source—undying, indestructible, unrestrained by the heavens or any law!”

He quickly formed hand seals, igniting the rune on his forehead. Golden blood poured from the mark, engulfing him in a radiant liquid that transformed him into a living golden statue.

The divine throne behind him merged into his body, further amplifying his godly aura.

But the cost was immediate and brutal. His silver hair whitened in an instant, and his youthful appearance, that of a man in his thirties, was stripped away. Now, he resembled a weathered elder, and his vitality burned as fuel.

Killing intent exploded out of his eyes, and he let out a furious roar. “To force me to sacrifice my longevity with the God Offering Art—you bastard! I’ll make you regret ever being born!”

The Silver Hair Void Crusher had believed that by absorbing Ying Bufei and stepping halfway into the Divine Emperor realm, suppressing Long Chen would be effortless. After capturing Long Chen alive, he’d get the Earth Cauldron.

Yet, he had grossly underestimated Long Chen. The astral energy coursing through Long Chen had undergone a fundamental transformation after his return from the battlefield of the primal chaos era. He was no longer the same person.

Forced into a corner, the Silver Hair Void Crusher had no choice but to sacrifice his longevity. Only this desperate act allowed his divine throne to merge deeper with his essence, providing him with more power.

“Divine throne shield!” the Silver Hair Void Crusher exclaimed, extending his hand and summoning an enormous golden shield.

The shield pulsed with endless Blood Qi—a mix of his core essence blood, soul essence, and the divine throne’s power. This was his strongest defense.

BOOM!

The shield met Long Chen’s devastating attack head-on. The clash shattered the silence as if a golden sun had detonated. The golden shield exploded into fragments, and countless golden runes shot outward like a storm of flying swords, tearing through the void and leaving gaping wounds in the world.

The dragon patriarchs had anticipated this strike and had already fortified their defenses, even retreating further from the battlefield. Yet, the golden runes pierced through the air with an ear-splitting ferocity, striking their barriers with enough force to send vibrations coursing through their bodies.

Despite their collective efforts using the Ten Thousand Dragon Nests as a bulwark, the patriarchs staggered under the impact. Several almost spat out blood from the backlash.

Their eyes were wide with disbelief. Even with the protective might of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nests, the shockwaves had nearly overwhelmed them. Without such powerful defenses, they would have suffered serious injuries.

They stared at Long Chen with a mixture of awe and trepidation. A mere Heaven Saint… yet his power defied all reason.

The world seemed to collapse on itself. Spacetime runes spiraled chaotically, creating a storm of distortion. Within the chaos, the Silver Hair Void Crusher was barely visible, coughing up blood as he was sent hurtling backward.

A black figure then shot at him like a bolt of lightning. Due to the twisting space, the onlookers couldn’t see it clearly.

BOOM!

One of the blurry figures came flying out of the twisting space, hacking up blood, his sword-wielding hand soaked in blood. It was the Silver Hair Void Crusher.

In the unseen chaos, Long Chen had exchanged another devastating blow with him, leaving the Silver Hair Void Crusher gravely wounded.

From the highest-ranking patriarchs to the youngest disciples, all the Dragon Domain’s experts were struck speechless. At a moment when they should have erupted in cheers to support Long Chen, they found themselves frozen, unable even to breathe.

After all, Long Chen stood like a devil incarnate. His gaze was sharp, and his killing intent was so powerful that even at this distance, it shook the souls of the onlookers.

This was not the Long Chen they thought they knew. This Long Chen was consumed by a singular purpose—slaughter. There was only destruction in his gaze.

“World Extermination Flame Lotus!” shouted Long Chen.

As the Silver Hair Void Crusher’s broken form flew through the air, a massive flame lotus surged after him like a meteor, its radiance blinding. Sacred chanting resonated through the void, and with it came an oppressive heat that burned the world.

Countless golden crows flew on top of the flame lotus, sucking this world’s flame energy dry.

“What?!” exclaimed Chi Wufeng.

Amidst the crowd, Chi Wufeng’s expression twisted in shock as he felt his core flame wrenched out of him, sucked toward the flame lotus. He struggled to contain it, but the energy was drawn away effortlessly.

Now, Chi Wufeng finally understood Long Chen’s earlier words—when Long Chen had said the fight against him would have been far easier. It turned out that Chi Wufeng’s flame energy was nothing more than a drop in the ocean before Long Chen.

BOOM!

The flame lotus smashed into the Silver Hair Void Crusher, blasting a huge black hole into the void. The eight spatial gates shuddered, flickering chaotically.

Just when everyone thought the Silver Hair Void Crusher had been reduced to ashes, his divine throne reappeared. Its sacred aura enveloped his battered form, shielding him as he emerged from the black hole.

“He’s still alive?”

Mo Yang and the others gasped in disbelief. While the Silver Hair Void Crusher looked wretched in this state, he was still alive. It seemed that even his divine throne couldn’t fully protect him.

“World Extermination Lightning Radiance!”

Without warning, a star of pure lightning hit the Silver Hair Void Crusher as he stumbled out of the black hole.

BOOM!

Another powerful explosion shook the land. The suddenness of this attack caught everyone off guard. No one had expected that such terrifying attacks could be unleashed consecutively.

The lightning explosion, though not enormous, was astonishingly concentrated. Amidst the thunderous crackle, the Silver Hair Void Crusher’s agonized scream rang out, chilling all who heard it.

When the Silver Hair Void Crusher finally emerged from the lightning’s core, gasps of disbelief echoed. He was soaked in blood, and his bone glowed from being burned by countless lightning and flame runes. Even at a distance, the putrid charred scent reached the onlookers.

In the next instant, Long Chen emerged and swung Evilmoon, which gleamed in his grasp like a blade forged for reaping lives.
