Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

This handsome man was someone Long Chen had not seen in many years.

He was Xu Changchuan, the junior race leader of the Fullmoon Divine Rhinoceros race.

“Ah, no wonder the Fullmoon race sounded so familiar. But wait a moment... Niu Shantang, does the Fullmoon race really count as an ‘ox’ demon race?” asked Long Chen.

Long Chen had not made the connection before because the ox race had two horns, while the rhinoceros race only had one. Were they really considered one race?

“That doesn’t matter,” Niu Shantang explained without hesitation. “All ox-related races are one family. Ah, you probably don’t know this, but the Rock Crystal race is actually a snail race.”

“Snails count too?” Long Chen raised his eyebrows.

“Snails have antennae! Those are their horns. They’re part of the ox demon race as well.”

Long Chen was speechless, but he didn’t bother arguing with this logic.[1]

Niu Shantang suddenly saw Long Chen leave their group and walk straight toward the Fullmoon race.

“Senior Long Chen, what are you doing?!” Niu Shantang exclaimed.

Every race here had its assigned areas and couldn’t just randomly leave them. Their Spirit Mark Barbarian Ox race was only permitted to remain in the outer zone.

“We’re done here,” Long Chen replied flatly, not slowing down. “Our agreement is complete.”

With that, he vanished from Niu Shantang’s side.

Niu Shantang was about to call after him, but hastily shut his mouth. Drawing attention now would only make it seem as though they were connected.

As expected, Long Chen’s sudden actions provoked countless experts.

Flying through the air here was a direct provocation. No one was allowed to soar overhead, except the Fullmoon divine son.

“Get down here!”

A massive claw tore through the air toward Long Chen. The disturbance instantly drew countless gazes—including Xu Changchuan’s.

The moment Xu Changchuan saw Long Chen, his expression froze in disbelief.

Long Chen passed straight through the claw as if it didn’t exist and continued flying toward Xu Changchuan.

“Kill him! Don’t let him reach the divine son!” shouted someone.

“Stop!” Xu Changchuan roared. “He’s my friend!”

The experts preparing to strike froze in place. Xu Changchuan rushed forward.

“Brother Long, is it really you?”

Xu Changchuan flew over to Long Chen, disbelief still written all over his face. He embraced Long Chen enthusiastically, shaking from emotion.

Long Chen laughed. “I never imagined that after we parted, you’d be the one to enter the Primal Chaos World first. And now you’re even the divine son of the Fullmoon race. Congratulations.”

“There’s nothing to congratulate,” Xu Changchuan said, shaking his head with a bitter smile. “Now that we—two brothers—have met again, we should find somewhere to drink.”

“Divine son, we still need you to encourage everyone. You can’t leave before the other races’ divine sons appear!” shouted an icy-faced woman behind Xu Changchuan.

Long Chen glanced behind Xu Changchuan. Hundreds of young men and women stood there, each with a powerful aura and sharp eyes.

Xu Changchuan frowned. That woman was clearly not giving him face.

However, Long Chen stopped him from saying anything.

Long Chen said, “We can talk right here. As for drinking, we can do that later.”

“Brother Long, I apologize for this. I should be holding a welcoming reception for you since it’s been so long, but... ugh.”

Xu Changchuan couldn’t help but sigh.

“As a divine son, you are the leader of the Fullmoon race. What are you sighing so listlessly about?” Long Chen asked.

“Hmph, who would want to be their leader? Here, come speak with me over here,” Xu Changchuan said and led Long Chen away.

In the distance, Niu Shantang and the others were dumbfounded. They had never expected Long Chen to be an old acquaintance of their divine son.

After a moment of shock, a sense of unease welled up within Niu Shantang. He had previously said that if the Fullmoon race fell, they would have to switch sides. If the divine son were to learn about it, they would be doomed.

But then, he laughed at himself. He was definitely overthinking it. In Long Chen’s eyes, they probably weren’t worth mentioning again.

He had just given them five hundred treasure pills, and there was not even a need for them to send him to the Tiger Venerate line. They had made a fortune for nothing.

Xu Changchuan led Long Chen to the heart of his camp. There was a golden platform here with a flag of the Fullmoon race—a rhinoceros looking up at the full moon.

Long Chen had seen a similar emblem before, though not identical.

Long Chen and Xu Changchuan stood beneath the flag shoulder to shoulder. Everyone else was kicked out by Xu Changchuan.

Long Chen stood there, overlooking the entire Fullmoon race’s camp.

He said, “The ox demon race is pretty impressive!”

“Hmph, they’re just a bunch of rabble. Once my Fullmoon race falls, they’ll scatter. I suppose I should be grateful that they haven’t already fled,” Xu Changchuan replied, shaking his head.

Long Chen was about to ask him more questions about how he had come to the Primal Chaos World and how he had become the Fullmoon race’s divine son. But then, booming sounds rang out, and a new group appeared.

They were covered in golden light that made them seem like blazing suns illuminating the sky. Every single one of them gave off a powerful pressure.

Long Chen’s gaze pierced through the golden light to see lifeforms with golden horns and wearing golden armor.

He could even sense golden blood flowing in their veins as they moved. He could sense a bloodline power as strong as the sea.

This was a group of experts containing a primal chaos bloodline. Furthermore, this bloodline power was extremely pure.

The man at the front in particular had an aura that caused the surrounding space to continuously crack simply from his presence. He was muscular and had golden hair. He gave off the impression of a sharp sword continuously slicing everything around him.

“That is the Golden Horn Divine Ox race’s divine son, Jin Xingtian. His power is unfathomable. He has killed multiple acquired Divine Sovereigns in a row and is the strongest genius in the Golden Horn Divine Ox race’s history,” introduced Xu Changchuan.

Just then, that man’s gaze suddenly turned toward them. The surrounding people cried out in shock as violent Spiritual Strength crashed down on them.
