Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 7233 Lotus Offering

“Damn, the Golden Light Divine Curse is too powerful! We should avoid it for now!”

One of the higher-ups of the outsider devils immediately wanted to fall back when he saw the unstoppable golden army. Under this golden light, their devil blood domain was essentially dispersed, and their troops could not enter a berserk state. If they were not in a berserk state, then even they would feel pain and fear. Even they would flee.

“Impossible. This is our first large-scale battle since the primal chaos war! We absolutely must win! Even if we all die here, we cannot retreat. Otherwise, if we return alive, the punishment will be worse than death. Send the order to ignite their blood soul! We must fight to the death!” ordered a large outsider devil.

A giant blood-colored bugle rang out in response. This bugle was the signal for the decisive battle. All the outsider devils instantly shivered, and their eyes turned scarlet. Their blood soul ignited, and they instantly radiated a frightening aura.

This time, it was not simply a berserk state. Strange runes appeared all over their bodies, and these runes emitted energy of the Grand Dao. Given the energy signature, it clearly did not belong to the Grand Dao of the nine heavens. As this energy spread, the entire battle began to quake.

“The outsider Grand Dao’s blessing...!”

A startled cry rang out—there was someone on the nine heavens’ side who recognized this technique. This was something the outsider devils had used in the primal chaos war. It signified that they were burning all the bridges and sacrificing their very lives.

This Grand Dao blessing would multiply their power. But the price was also enormous: They had basically just destroyed their futures. Even if they lived, they would find it almost impossible to advance any further in the future.

No one had expected them to be ruthless. Instead of temporarily retreating, they chose to clash with Miao Yin’s army head-on! Miao Yin had openly declared that her Golden Light Divine Curse would only last an incense stick’s worth of time. They could have just focused on defending or retreating for the time being, and the moment she ran out of power, the situation on the battlefield would instantly shift.

While most people had no idea why they would do this, Long Chen and Miao Yin did. This leader of the outsider devils definitely had sharp vision.

The moment they chose to retreat, then with the support of the Golden Light Divine Curse, the joint army from the nine heavens would receive a major boost to their morale. On the other hand, the outsider devils would lose their will to fight. In the end, a seed of terror would be planted in their hearts. Once that seed was planted, they would probably never be able to walk out from its shadow. They wouldn’t even be able to enter their berserk state again. If they chose to retreat, they would no longer have any chance to counterattack.

The leader of this group of outsider devils was quite smart. He knew how terrifying the Golden Light Divine Curse was, so he chose to use the bugle to unleash all their power!

Neither side had any room for retreat. Neither side could afford anything but victory. The victor would take everything, and the defeated would be exterminated!

“Kill!”

The battle between the two armies reached a new crescendo. Flesh and blood flew everywhere. Even with the support of the Golden Light Divine Curse, Miao Yin’s formation almost shattered from the initial impact.

The black runes covering the outsider devils were a conduit for them to channel the support of their Grand Dao power. But that also required a source of power, and that source... was their own lives. With every moment that passed, these black runes burned their life force and their potential. However, they didn’t seem to care. They were like a group of frenzied beasts. There was no longer any fear in their eyes.

“Heavenly Sound Flame Dance! Four Beasts Incinerate the Heavens!”

Seeing that the outsider devils had grown too powerful and the formation was in danger, Miao Yin suddenly let out a furious cry.

Any trace of color left on her already pale face instantly vanished. The four divine beast manifestations reappeared; immense divine flames burst out of them and merged into the formation.

This was Miao Yin’s core flame. Trillions of pulsing sound runes flickered within it. At the same time, multiple dancing figures appeared within the runes. These were Miao Yin’s thousand reincarnations! She had finally brought out her strongest divine ability!

The outsider devils’ Grand Dao power was suffocating everyone, but once her thousand reincarnations appeared, that feeling vanished. At the same time, everyone could feel the flow of her life energy.

They instantly realized that Miao Yin was using her own life force to counter the outsider Grand Dao power. Their blood boiled, and their killing intent erupted.

At this moment, they truly felt great honor in being able to fight alongside peerless heavenly geniuses like Long Chen and Miao Yin. The latter was even endangering her own life to protect them! They were incredibly grateful, and this gratitude transformed into an overwhelming fighting spirit.

“Kill!”

It was as if they had entered their own berserk state. Thinking of how these ugly devils were burning away at Miao Yin’s life, their eyes turned scarlet and they launched a ferocious assault.

Both the army of outsider devils and the joint army of the nine heavens had gone completely insane. They acted as if their own lives weren’t even a factor; their only thought was to kill a few more enemies before they died. With that, the battlefield became a giant body-crushing machine. Countless mangled corpses and broken weapons fell to the ground.

However, thanks to Miao Yin’s thousand reincarnations, the joint army of the nine heavens had seized the advantage. When the attacks of their enemies arrived, they were affected by Miao Yin’s temporal domain, which forced them to slow down. The joint army was no longer affected by the outsider Grand Dao power, so they launched a ferocious counterattack.

The eight Flag Bearers stood guard around the formation, picking off any half-step Heavenly Sovereigns that approached their troops. Although they were no longer in their peak condition, thanks to the High Firmament Flags and Miao Yin’s support, they had recovered to about fifty percent. Furthermore, they were no longer fighting on their own, and were integrated into the formation. Thanks to that, as long as their enemies revealed a single opening, they could immediately launch a killing blow.

Both sides initially took tremendous casualties due to the chaos that had ensued among their formations. But the joint army of the nine heavens was rapidly stabilized, and the casualties began to drop. Their army gradually transformed into a sharp blade reaping the lives of the outsider devils.

Even so, the battlefield was truly cruel. In this kind of chaotic mess, let alone the hot-blooded disciples of the various races, even Miao Yin’s hundred thousand elites lost many people.

The savage fighting continued. The absolutely massive outsider devil army was being cut down at a visible rate.

Long Chen just watched from above. No outsider devils dared to attack him. They knew that if they wanted to kill him, it would require a large number of half-step Heavenly Sovereigns. If they didn’t send enough, they would just be throwing their lives away. However, if they sent too many people, they would no longer be able to apply pressure on Miao Yin’s side. Then it would truly become a one-sided slaughter.

The outsider devils’ full army was mobilized. They were not holding back at all. However, there was one person standing at the edge of the battlefield and watching, similar to Long Chen.

As for the North Sea Silver fox race’s side, countless experts were attacking the barrier. But the battle on Miao Yin’s side was so intense that they weren’t going all-out. They were just slowly grinding away at the barrier’s power while watching the fighting.

“Heavens, the outsider devils are going to be annihilated!”

Seeing that the outsider army was constantly shrinking, these people were utterly shocked. There were mountains of corpses piled up on the ground. It was a ghastly sight.

The outsider devils’ ranks had been reduced to the point that they were the ones outnumbered by Miao Yin’s side. But they still didn’t retreat. They fought to the death in a savage manner that gave everyone chills. The outsider devils were truly terrifying!

Suddenly, a roar echoed from the outsider devil side of the battlefield.

“Now that you’ve slaughtered so many of my kin, you can accompany them on the way to the next life!”

The leader of the outsider devils took out a white bone staff and threw it down. It transformed into a streak of light stabbing into the pile of corpses.

Blood Qi erupted, and a massive black lotus rose out of the corpses. Its giant petals closed around the battlefield, sealing Miao Yin and the others inside.

“Devil Blood Heaven Devourer—Lotus Offering!”
