Nine Star Hegemon Body Art - Chapter 538
Chapter 538
“This is Yin Wushang’s aura!” Long Chen’s expression changed, as he sensed a powerful killing intent that was very familiar . “How did he find me so quickly?”
Long Chen couldn’t help being startled . He had left behind countless misleading paths behind him . Even if there were people chasing after him, it should have taken them several days .
But in just one night, Yin Wushang was already close enough for him to sense . Based on his feeling of danger, the two of them were definitely not that far apart .
“I can’t fight him in my current state . Time to slip away . ” Long Chen began rushing through the mountain forests . Although he had confidence in himself, in front of a Celestial, he could only run right now .
Unless he managed to advance to Meridian Opening, he didn’t have the ability to fight him . Furthermore, with Yin Wushang’s ridiculous Cry of the Heavenly Daos, he still wouldn’t have a chance of beating him .
Of course, if he could just condense the third star—the Life Fate Star—and bring out the Three Star Battle Armor, then he would be able to resist at least a portion of the Heavenly Daos’ energy .
When he had fought with Yin Wushang, he had noticed that the Two Star Battle Armor was able to resist the Heavenly Daos’ energy slightly .
He finally understood why the Heavenly Daos would reject him . The power of the Nine Stars clashed with this world’s Heavenly Daos . They were like water and fire .
However, his current Nine Stars’ energy was too weak and was not enough to resist the Heavenly Daos .
Unfortunately, right now, the only thing he knew about the third star was its name and that it would be located at the center of his right foot . The pill formula for it had yet to appear in his mind, and so he was unable to even refine the Life Fate Pills, let alone condense the star .
“Something’s wrong . I’m going in such a winding path, but they’re still getting closer?”
Long Chen’s expression turned slightly darker . After rushing as fast as he could, he realized the sensation of danger wasn’t fading but growing stronger instead . In other words, Yin Wushang was quickly approaching .
“I know, it has to be from the Heavenly Dao’s injuries!” Long Chen suddenly stopped . After recovering to eighty percent, he had focused completely on urging on the primal chaos bead so that the trees would grow . He hadn’t completely healed himself .
Thinking of a certain possibility, he hastily urged on the primal chaos space . Thirty-six immense trees had their life energy extracted for his use .
In just a few breaths’ time, the injuries on Long Chen’s body completely recovered as the remaining will of the Heavenly Daos on his body was erased .
Long Chen smiled mischievously and then disappeared from his current location
…
Yin Wushang had been leading the Yin family’s elite experts through a thick forest . Every so often, he would pause and sense for something before continuing .
But this time when he stopped, his expression became shocked, as he realized he could no longer sense Long Chen’s position .
“Bastard, how is that possible?!” Yin Wushang couldn’t help raging . After being injured by the Heavenly Daos, their will had remained on Long Chen’s body . As a Celestial, Yin Wushang was capable of using his sharp senses to locate him .
That was also why Yin Wushang had refused to leave . After his injuries had recovered enough, he had immediately begun chasing .
Now that the sensation of the Heavenly Daos had disappeared out of nowhere, he was startled and infuriated . There were only two possibilities .
One was that Long Chen was dead, perhaps eaten by a Magical Beast . Then, with his soul dissipating, the will of the Heavenly Daos would have nothing to adhere to and would also fade .
The other possibility was that Long Chen had somehow managed to erase the will of the Heavenly Daos on his body and completely recover .
With Yin Wushang’s understanding of Long Chen, he didn’t believe Long Chen would die so easily . The odds of the second possibility were extremely high .
In his fury, Yin Wushang smashed apart a large tree in front of him, startling all those elites behind him . They didn’t dare utter a sound as they trembled . They knew that Yin Wushang was on the verge of going berserk .
Even in this kind of situation, Long Chen had still managed to escape . That made Yin Wushang feel like he might explode . This was the first time he felt so stifled .
However, even if he was unwilling, he wasn’t a fool . He knew that with Long Chen’s sly nature, catching up to him within this thick forest was like searching for a needle in a haystack .
“Junior master, what should we do now?” Seeing that no one else dared say anything, Yin Qing opened her mouth .
Yin Wushang’s expression was frighteningly dark, but as the Yin family’s junior master, he still had to be extremely steady . He quickly calmed himself down and thought about it .
“It’s indisputable that Long Chen has already managed to escape . We should go back . At the same time, alert the spies we have in the secular world . I want to find out everything about Long Chen, including his origin and what family he has!”
“Junior master, that’s a grave taboo!” cried a late Xiantian elder .
The cultivation world’s iron rule was that the path of cultivation was a struggle for experts . But this bloody struggle could not be permitted to reach the ordinary mortals .
If anyone decided to take out their anger on a cultivator’s family, that would be an immense taboo . If the expert’s family were also cultivators, then that would be alright . But if they weren’t, then whoever attacked them would become targeted by the entire cultivation world .
There were countless records of this happening, and those violators had all been exterminated . Immense existences like the Yin family were also amongst them .
“Idiot, I just said investigate, not target them . I just want to know Long Chen’s origins, understand?!” raged Yin Wushang .
“Yes, this subordinate knows his mistake!” The elder hastily bowed .
“Let’s go . ” Yin Wushang brought them all out of the forest .
…
After a full three days, Long Chen managed to get out of the forest . He had no idea just how far he had gone, but a grassland now appeared before him .
The forest had been very oppressive, as there was no sunlight . In fact, he couldn’t even see the sky . Now that he suddenly saw the vast sky again, he couldn’t help but sigh, his mood immediately elevating .
He finally felt that the sensation of danger had completely disappeared . He had finally regained his freedom .
“Hehe, Yin family, right? Let me just investigate where your old rat’s nest is . ”
Long Chen laughed sinisterly . He was prepared to undergo the same scene as what had happened in the Wind Spirit Pavilion .
“Fuck, what’s going on?!”
But Long Chen’s expression suddenly changed . Just now, the sky had been completely empty with nary a cloud . The blue sky had been incredibly refreshing . But without realizing it, the entire sky had darkened .
“Damnit, you just couldn’t wait a while?!” Long Chen suddenly stood up and cursed at the sky .
He now realized he was unable to accomplish this plan . The heavenly tribulation was about to descend right now, and it was even more terrifying than last time .
Back when he had been in the monastery, after he had finished undergoing complete tempering, his spiritual qi had almost reached a certain limit .
Now, the continuous battles, especially the battle with Yin Wushang, had silently pushed him through an opening in the next barrier .
At this time, before Long Chen even went to attack the barrier, the barrier had already become weak . Unconsciously, he had pierced through it, drawing on heavenly tribulation .
That startled and infuriated Long Chen . This was definitely bullying . He had just been thinking of using this heavenly tribulation to get revenge on the Yin family . Were the heavens protecting their Celestial?
Thunder clouds condensed up in the sky . The entire world darkened as endless lightning appeared in the boundless clouds . A terrifying pressure descended .
The entire sky seemed to become an inverted vortex, while Long Chen was like an ant on the bottom .
When those surging thunder clouds suddenly stopped moving, the entire world trembled and rain of lightning descended .
Wherever the lightning touched the ground, the ground would crumble . Under the bath of lightning, Long Chen’s eyes shone like the stars, and his black hair flew in the wind . A berserk aura soared out of him to face the heavenly tribulation . He didn’t seem the slightest bit afraid .
“Come . Let me see how you try and exterminate me!”
The response to Long Chen’s goading was an even stronger tempest of lightning . But Long Chen simply allowed that lightning to land on his body .
The lightning snake tattoo on his left arm lit up and began to crazily devour the thunderforce invading his body . It was like a starving Magical Beast that finally saw food .
Long Chen knew that each time, the first wave of lightning was the weakest . He had to take advantage of that chance to absorb more thunderforce . Later when the lightning grew stronger and more berserk, it would be impossible to absorb, and he could only resist it .
But even this gentlest lightning was enough to easily exterminate Xiantian experts .
That was because for ordinary cultivators, their first lightning tribulation would come when they advanced to the Xiantian realm . They would use the heavenly tribulation as a baptism to expel impurities from their body and then transform their Houtian qi to Xiantian qi .
For those ordinary cultivators, their Xiantian heavenly tribulation would only be ten percent destructive . The other ninety percent of it was life energy used to cleanse them . If you were unable to even withstand that ten percent of destructive will, then that meant you were truly trash and you were just a waste of this world’s energy .
But Long Chen’s tribulations were completely destructive in nature without the slightest bit of life energy . That was why those Xiantian experts from the Wind Spirit Pavilion were only able to endure for a few breaths’ time .
Standing on the ground, Long Chen was doing his best to absorb as much thunderforce as he could . His entire skeleton was currently shining, emitting a powerful pressure .
He was borrowing this thunderforce to once more temper his bones, allowing his skeleton to reach a flawless level .
After all, just using medicinal pills to temper the bones was unable to make them reach the level of perfection . Medicinal pills contained quite a bit of pill toxins which would hide within the bones .
Long Chen was borrowing the heavenly tribulation’s berserk energy to expel those pill toxins .
If it wasn’t for this heavenly tribulation, Long Chen would require a long time to expel those pill toxins . This saved him at least several months of work .
As time passed, the lightning became thicker, stronger, and more terrifying . However, Long Chen was still focused on absorbing it . Now that he had undergone complete tempering, he didn’t fear this level of lightning . On the other hand, the lightning serpent tattoo on his arm was growing increasingly bright .
BOOM!
Suddenly, the void shook intensely, and the rain of lightning disappeared . The thunder clouds parted and nine three-hundred-meter lightning serpents appeared .
