Within a dimension spanning ten thousand miles, a woman radiating starlight, wielding a starry longsword, pierced through the head of a demon with a single strike.
The demon had wings on its back and horns on its head. Its six arms, resembling spider legs, stabbed fiercely into the woman's body, black venom corroding her.
When Long Chen entered the alternate dimension, the woman who had been staring at the demon was now looking at him, a faint smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
Seeing this, Long Chen immediately recognized the woman as a Nine-Star successor. Without hesitation, he wielded his thunderous spear and lunged fiercely at the demon.
"Boom!"
But before Long Chen could get close, the demon's wings trembled. The thunderous spear in Long Chen's hand exploded with a thunderous crash, and a violent destructive force surged forth. Long Chen spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Long Chen was shocked. The Nine-Star successor had already restrained it, yet he still couldn't break through its basic defenses. What level of existence was this monster?
"I never expected that billions of years later, the Nine Star lineage would have declined to such a state. It seems that ever since the Star Lord fell, the fate of the Nine Star lineage has run its course." The demon looked at Long Chen, a mocking smile appearing at the corner of its mouth.
His voice was cold and profound, every word tinged with blood. Every syllable was like a deadly note, filled with ferocity and bloodlust. Even with Long Chen's ferocity, hearing its voice made his soul tremble—a voice that was utterly terrifying.
However, hearing the monster's taunt, Long Chen's anger flared instantly. If he couldn't even handle a trapped monster, that would be utterly useless.
However, just as Long Chen hesitated about how to take him down, the Nine-Star successor sent a divine sense message:
"Don't rush to act. He is a ninth-rank Divine Emperor. With your current strength, you cannot break through the protective divine light formed by his Divine Emperor crown."
"Ninth-rank Divine Emperor?"
Long Chen's heart raced wildly. This demon was actually a Ninth-Rank Divine Emperor? And he was a ninth-rank Divine Emperor from the Chaos Era—no wonder he was so terrifying.
Back then, Feng Xinyue once said that the Divine Emperor-level experts of that era could condense the Divine Emperor's crown, which was the mark of a Divine Emperor.
However, after the chaos war, the heavens and earth changed, and people could no longer place the Divine Emperor's crown externally; they could only store it inside their bodies. Yet, the difference between external and internal transmission was like heaven and earth.
However, Long Chen did not see the demon's Divine Emperor crown unleashed from outside. That was because, after countless years of clashing with this Nine-Star female successor, the power of the crown had become extremely weak, turning from tangible to intangible to reduce consumption.
However, even this invisible crown power could shake Long Chen so hard he coughed up blood, which made him even more terrified.
"He is the six-horned evil fly of the Outer Demon Clan, a general-level existence among the Outer Demons. It is they who have slaughtered countless living beings.
I fought against them, getting caught up in the temporal turbulence, drifting through the rifts of time and space, and ultimately ended up here.
Its strength surpasses mine. I don't have the power to kill it, so I can only hold it back tightly to prevent it from causing trouble in the world.
I used my natal star sea to transform into a lake, drawing on the power of the stars across the heavens to hold it back. But every so often, someone would come to absorb the lake's power, greatly weakening my strength.
But this time, the absorbed power was even faster and stronger. I was barely able to hold on, but here you came.
Although you haven't grown up yet and are still weak, I believe that every Nine-Star successor is a true powerhouse. You must have a way. But don't rush—calm down." The nine-star female warrior said.
Her voice was gentle, like a gentle older sister encouraging her younger brother, making her seem especially affectionate.
Long Chen had been burning with anger, but upon hearing her voice, he immediately calmed down.
He knew that what she said about would be drawing lake power from time to time. It must be the opening of the Heavenly Vein Profound Realm. Some people discovered this place and realized it was gathering endless Heavenly Dao power to draw and cultivate from it.
Her natal star sea would attract the power of the Heavenly Dao along with the power of the stars, which is why the Heavenly Dao power of the Star Lake is so astonishing that it draws so many people.
But this time, because too many people had arrived and they were too strong, they were consumed especially quickly, causing her strength to rapidly weaken and showing signs of losing control over her opponent.
"You don't really think this weak ant-like guy could do you any good, do you?"
The hexagonal evil fly looked at Long Chen, its voice full of mockery. Although it couldn't hear their conversation, it was extremely intelligent and could roughly guess what they would be talking about.
Long Chen looked at the Hexagonal Evil Fly. Only then did he notice that it had two large black bumps on its forehead, resembling the eyes of a fly's belly. No wonder it had such a name.
The so-called hexagonal refers to their six arms that resemble spider legs, with the tips of each arm resembling sharp horns.
Long Chen sized up the hexagonal evil fly from head to toe, not missing a single detail. His sharp gaze made the fly feel completely uncomfortable.
However, at this moment, it and the Nine-Star Female Warrior locked each other's vital points, their power restrained, and neither dared to act rashly.
Long Chen's mind was racing, searching for the monster's weakness, thinking about how to kill it in one strike. But most importantly, how to kill this monster while also saving the life of the Nine-Star Female Warrior.
"You don't need to worry about me. As long as I can kill it, it's all worth it." The nine-star female warrior transmitted to Long Chen.
"What is it worth?" Sister, you are like a celestial being—how could you perish together with such an ugly monster? Trust me, I will eventually find a way." Long Chen said.
When Long Chen said this, the nine-star female warrior was momentarily stunned, then a smile appeared on her face:
"Since I was born, I have fought across the land, and no one has ever praised me. Thank you. Even if I die, I can rest in peace."
Long Chen was stunned. Legend has it that the Nine Star heir is a reclusive and natural battle fanatic. Judging by her tone, she began fighting across the land when she was very young. So who was the one who commanded her?
However, at this point, it was definitely inconvenient to ask this question. If he wanted to learn more secrets about the Nine Star Heir, he could only wait until he saved her.
"Buzz buzz buzz...
At that moment, the barrier they were in trembled, and the entire Star Lake began to surge wildly.
"Bad news! They've absorbed too much power. My barrier is showing signs of imbalance. I'm about to give out, little brother, there's no time. Find a way to kill it. Don't worry about me." The nine-star female warrior anxiously transmitted to Long Chen.
Long Chen saw it too, and he was very anxious. But if he killed this monster, it would drag her down with him. Long Chen simply couldn't do it.
"Boom boom boom boom...
At that moment, a thunderous explosion suddenly echoed through the chaotic space. Long Chen was overjoyed. At that moment, the Qiankun Cauldron, Dragon Bone Evil Moon, Demon Moon Cauldron, and Heaven-Flipping Seal emerged simultaneously.
"Wow, wow, this is a monster from the Age of Chaos! Heal it up! Let me chop it down!"
The Dragon Bone Evil Moon had just awakened, staring at the hexagonal evil fly like a hungry wolf, shouting excitedly.
"This is alive, and it's trapped. Why don't you use the Heavenly Soul Blood Curse technique to refine it into a puppet?" Qiankun Cauldron said.
"Smack!"
Hearing Qiankun Cauldron's words, Long Chen excitedly slapped his thigh and jumped up. How foolish he was—how could he have thought of this move?
The Qiankun Cauldron specifically mentioned the living ones because they are easier to use the Heavenly Soul Blood Curse and have a higher success rate.
"Hehehe..."
At that moment, Long Chen walked step by step toward the hexagonal evil fly, a wicked smile on his lips:
"Hang in there, you'll get better soon."
