"Rumble rumble rumble ..."
The sea of stars above
Long Chen's head flickered, the divine ring spun behind him, and eight stars lit up the world like the sun. Long Chen's aura soared to its peak in an instant. With the Dragon Bone Evil Moon in hand, he slashed his blade down at Hou Tianwu. [.\nCOM Situ updates the most complete chapters, with the fastest error-free content fixed.

This is an incredibly terrifying powerhouse, empowered by six life-bound dragon veins. In terms of cultivation, Long Chen dares not be negligent.
When Hou Tianwu saw the star-filled sky, his heart raced wildly. Golden light swirled around him, and behind him appeared a golden gate.
A golden gate appeared, like the Gate of the Heavenly Court manifesting in the world. The terrifying oppressive force shook the heavens and earth. Hou Tianwu also summoned a vision: six golden dragons surged behind him, golden divine radiance erupting, and the golden staff smashed fiercely at Long Chen.
"Boom!"
The
Dragonbone Evil Moon collided fiercely with the golden staff, stirring up waves for ten thousand miles. As divine light flowed, their figures flickered, illuminating the cosmos.
"So you are the successor of the Nine Stars." Hou Tianwu shouted loudly, clearly recognizing Long Chen's identity.
"So you're a monkey."
Previously, Long Chen hadn't looked Hou Tianwu in the eye, but now, when they met, he realized Hou Tianwu's face was covered in golden fur, with big eyes, a small nose, a pointed mouth, and thin cheeks—a very monkey-like face.
"Get lost!"
Hou Tianwu was enraged by Long Chen's words. The golden staff in his hand shone brightly, and a tremendous force surged, forcing Long Chen to stagger back several steps.
Long Chen was secretly shocked. Hou Tianwu looked so thin and gaunt, yet he possessed such immense strength.
"How dare you desecrate the great Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey clan? Even if you are the successor of the Nine Stars, so what? Go to hell!"
Hou Tianwu roared, golden divine radiance flashing continuously, sending up countless golden illusions as he charged fiercely at Long Chen.
"As expected of the Golden Monkey clan. Xiao Jiu, I'm sorry."
Long Chen snorted coldly, finally confirming the guy's identity. He arched his back slightly, kicked his left foot backward, and as the void shattered, Long Chen slashed fiercely with his blade.
"Boom!"
The two divine weapons clashed again. Long Chen and Hou Tianwu were sent flying backward, their palms instantly splitting open, blood staining their divine weapons.
"Long Chen, don't rush to fight head-on. Let's find a way to buy time for the Dragonblood Warriors." Tang Wan'er saw Long Chen come up and immediately confront Hou Tianwu head-on, so she hurriedly sent him a message.
This Hou Tianwu's strength was terrifying. Rumor had it he was the leader of the younger generation of the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey clan. Although Long Chen was a Five Veins Heavenly Saint, his fifth vein dragon energy was still transparent and hadn't fully matured.
In this state, Long Chen would be unwise to fight Hou Tianwu head-on. It was better to play a game with him, stall for time, and wait for the Dragon Blood Legion to recover its combat strength, then face them again.
Most importantly, at this moment, the Tianyao Alliance's strong fighters were gathering more and more. Even if Long Chen defeated Hou Tianwu, it would be meaningless—it might even prompt the Tianyao Alliance to launch a fierce attack ahead of time.
"Everything is under control." Despite his busy schedule, Long Chen responded to Tang Wan'er.
"Boom!"
The
Dragonbone Evil Moon slashed out once more, clashing head-on with Hou Tianwu. The two retreated once more, their violent force shaking the earth apart, cracks spreading across the void, but the space showed no sign of shattering.
This was because the power of the Imperial Dao Reverse Scale was influencing the space here, making the space even more solid, and the destructive power of the two was somewhat suppressed.
"Should I launch a sneak attack and see if we can take him out together?" Suddenly, Tang Wan'er had a bold idea.
Previously, when she led the Hidden Dragon warriors in fierce battles against the demon clan's powerhouses, it was actually Xiaoyue and the others who contributed the effort; she had been holding back.
Later, Hou Tianwu appeared, and just as the two were about to fight, Long Chen arrived. Up to now, Hou Tianwu had never fought Tang Wan'er, nor did he know her true strength.
"No need, let me test his background. You protect the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest." Long Chen replied.
This Hou Tianwu was even higher than Long Zaiye's. Such a powerhouse possessed countless spells and divine powers and countless trump cards. Trying to kill him at their first meeting was unrealistic.
Even if Tang Wan'er launched a surprise attack and the two could join forces to defeat her, killing her was still unlikely.
Hou Tianwu wasn't a fool. Seeing things turn bad, he'd definitely flee. Even if he didn't, he had other options: either attack the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest or the Hidden Dragon Legion.
If this happened, Long Chen and Tang Wan'er would end up on the defensive, losing more than they gained. Fighting a powerhouse of Hou Tianwu's caliber, trying to delay without effort would be instantly seen through.
Although Tang Wan'er was very strong, she still lacked a lot of combat experience.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the ground exploded. Long Chen and Hou Tianwu descended from the ninth heaven, crashing down and piercing the earth. Their figures vanished in an instant.
At that moment, everyone was shocked. Their speed was too fast. Just moments ago, their weapons clashed, and with the other hand forming hand seals, before anyone could see the situation, the two suddenly fell and disappeared.
"Boom!"
The
earth exploded again, a ten-thousand-mile dragon tail flashing with golden divine light, piercing through the earth and piercing straight into the sky.
Shockingly, the dragon's tail shot straight into the clouds, yet its upper body remained fixed above the earth.
"Rumble rumble...
At
this moment, the earth trembled as four pillars of stars shot up into the sky.
"Boom!"
Immediately after, a tremendous explosion erupted across tens of thousands of miles of earth. A golden dragon head burst out from the ground, its massive head trapped tightly between four pillars of starlight. It struggled wildly but could not break free.
The Golden Dragon was trapped, but Long Chen and Hou Tianwu were nowhere to be seen, leaving people confused and unsure of what had happened.
"Boom!"
The
golden dragon and starlight pillar exploded with a thunderous roar, turning into golden powder and divine starlight. Then people saw Hou Tianwu and Long Chen disappear.
The two stood tens of thousands of miles apart, gazing at each other across the sky. Golden light shone brilliantly, stars covered the sky. Standing in the void, they looked down like ancient war gods gazing down upon eternity, inspiring awe from the depths of the soul.
"The Nine Star heirs really are skilled. In my era, unfortunately, I couldn't fight the Nine Star heirs back then.
And you, although you have some skills, that's only a few. If your strength is just like this, within three moves, I'll take your head." Hou Tianwu looked at Long Chen, his golden eyes filled with endless cold pride and confidence.
"Prince Tianwu, wise and mighty, today you will slay the successor of the Nine Stars and restore the reputation of the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey."
Suddenly, someone shouted from afar. Millions of powerful beings surged into the battlefield. Their aura was astonishing—hundreds possessed life-bound dragon veins, and two others had condensed five life-bound dragon veins.
All these people were powerful members of the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey clan. As soon as they arrived, they cheered and encouraged Hou Tianwu, while also showcasing their strength.
Sure enough, as soon as they arrived, the hundreds of millions of Tianyao Alliance experts around them also raised their arms and shouted Hou Tianwu's name, their voices surging like a tsunami, echoing through the heavens.
Seeing the strength of the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey clan's powerhouse, Tang Wan'er's heart began to sink. The Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey clan truly deserved their title as the leaders of the Heavenly Demon Alliance; this lineup was enough to crush the entire arena.
Long Chen was indifferent to the cheers of the crowd. His eyes coldly stared at Hou Tianwu:
"There are no tigers in the mountains; monkeys claim kings."
Long Chen's words were like a resounding slap to the faces of all the Heavenly Demon Golden Monkey clan. The excited smiles on their faces vanished instantly, replaced by endless killing intent.
