Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

“This is…”

When this giant figure appeared, the laws of the world seemed to freeze. Black threads wove through the void, and this beautiful, multicolored world instantly became black and white. The pressure it exuded was so great it felt like the world would explode.

The head elder of the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey race stood frozen in fear. Even his six Sovereign bodies were locked in place beneath that suffocating pressure. His bones creaked ominously.

“A late-stage Sovereign Lord…” he muttered, finally feeling fear.

Late-stage Sovereign Lords were in a league of their own. Their Sovereign might couldn’t be compared to that of mid-stage Sovereign Lords—they existed on entirely different planes.

Everyone present was paralyzed by the crushing pressure, pinned to the ground. Only the head elder remained standing. However, even as a peak sixth Heavenstage Sovereign Lord, he felt like molten lead had filled his veins. Each movement was an immense struggle.

“It’s the legendary Earth Vein Bull Python! Is that Long Chen’s contractual beast? But how is that possible?!”

As a seasoned demon expert, he recognized this mythical creature instantly, which only made it harder to believe. This beast was infamous.

It had nearly annihilated the original devil race with a single roar. Back then, the green parrot had held it back as a warning to Long Chen. Now summoned at full power, the Earth Vein Bull Python completely suppressed the battlefield.

This was also why the green parrot felt such attachment to this Earth Vein Bull Python. It was truly powerful.

While everyone was stunned in place, Jin Minghan’s torture continued. The petals flew and sliced his flesh.

“Long Chen… I curse you… you won’t have a good death!” Jin Minghan roared, igniting the last of his energy in an attempt to self-detonate.

But before he could, a dragon scale pierced his skull and ended him. The torment ended in death.

Long Chen calmly collected Jin Minghan’s mangled corpse and blood essence, absorbing it into the primal chaos space. As a hundred-flame divine sprout, Jin Minghan’s body was highly valuable. It was something the primal chaos space would need.

Seeing that Long Chen didn’t hesitate to kill Jin Minghan, the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey race’s head elder roared, “Long Chen, even if you have a contractual beast on this level, you can’t look down on the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey race! We have—”

A giant tail suddenly whipped through the air, sending the head elder flying. His six Sovereign bodies exploded.

The mixed beast race’s members were stunned. Was the gap between peak mid-stage and late-stage Sovereign Lords truly this vast?

Long Chen waved his hand. The next moment, an irresistible power grabbed the head elder and made him float over to Long Chen.

This time, Long Chen was using the power of the Earth Vein Bull Python’s domain. As long as his Spiritual Strength was strong enough, he could control it.

“Long Chen… the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey race… are all fearless warriors! This enmity will definitely be avenged by Master Mingyao!”

The head elder knew he would die soon. After all, Long Chen was famous for his ruthlessness.

“Master Mingyao is still in seclusion. Ten days ago… he broke past the two-hundred-flame threshold! Once he emerges, he’ll crush you like an ant! Even that beast won’t save you! Just wait, hahaha!”

“Two hundred…” muttered Cui Hao.

Cui Hao’s pupils shrank. If that was true, Jin Mingyao was terrifying. Crossing two hundred flames meant his talent and foundation were no joke.

Judging from how Jin Minghan and the head elder spoke of him, Jin Mingyao’s status in the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey race was exceptionally high. He was likely the monster they had nurtured with everything they had.

“Are you done?” Long Chen asked calmly. “If so, you can die now.”

As he clenched his hand, the elder’s body twisted, his bones creaking. He looked like a frog ready to burst.

“Friend, please show mercy.”

A dignified, ancient voice suddenly rang out. The void trembled, and a large old man appeared.

“Another late-stage Sovereign Lord!” exclaimed Feng You.

“This might just be the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey race’s patriarch, but he’s too late,” Cui Hao said, shaking his head.

“Even if he came earlier, it wouldn’t matter. Or rather, it makes no difference. I know Long Chen,” said Feng You.

“Patriarch!” the head elder cried in desperation. “Save m—”

CRACK.

The sound was crisp and final. The elder’s body was crushed, his life extinguished.

“He really doesn’t give anyone face,” Cui Hao muttered, with cold sweat on his back.

Long Chen hadn’t even waited for the patriarch to speak before killing the elder.

The patriarch’s killing intent erupted.

“Friend?” Long Chen sneered. “Who are you calling a friend? Is everyone that the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey race tries to kill a ‘friend’? I heard you were friends with the Nine Tail race as well. You conned them pretty well, didn’t you?”

“Long Chen, do you truly want to become enemies with the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey race?” the patriarch asked coldly.

He was indeed the patriarch—the leader of a race. Even after witnessing Jin Minghan’s death and a peak mid-stage Sovereign Lord being crushed, he was still composed.

“Whether or not we’re enemies isn’t decided by me, but by you. You guys were the ones who wanted to kill me. I am just fighting back,” replied Long Chen indifferently.

The patriarch could barely contain his wrath. He declared, “Long Chen, release my people, and today’s matter—”

Just then, the Earth Vein Bull Python quivered, and a majestic aura surged. The quivering experts completely collapsed, their souls extinguished.

“LONG CHEN!”

The patriarch could not endure it any longer. Golden flames exploded out of him. He had suppressed his anger in order to save his people. With them caught in the Earth Vein Bull Python’s domain, he didn’t dare to attack lightly.

However, Long Chen didn’t give him any face.

Seven Sovereign bodies materialized, exuding a pressure that cracked Cui Hao’s barrier.

Cui Hao’s expression changed. A late-stage Sovereign Lord’s power was truly terrifying.

The Earth Vein Bull Python’s domain was under Long Chen’s control and wouldn’t harm them. But this patriarch was different.

Suddenly, the Earth Vein Bull Python roared. It opened its mouth, and a blood-colored sword shot toward the patriarch.

“Even if you have the Earth Vein Bull Python, I will definitely kill you today!” the patriarch shouted.

The patriarch met the attack with a blast of golden light and a punch. The sword exploded, but his expression suddenly changed.

“A curse! Damn you, Long Chen! Just you wait, the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey race will not rest until you are dead!”

His furious roar echoed through the sky, but he was already gone.
