"Rumble rumble... The
chains struck, space collapsed, and the force of the strike was far stronger than Ye Ming and the others. The experts of Tianwu Continent were all shocked.
The War of the Gods had just ended, so why did this group of terrifying figures suddenly appear? From what they said, they were here specifically for Long Chen.
"Smack!"
Long Chen grabbed the chain, but the moment he grabbed it, countless spikes instantly sprouted from the chain.
"Pfft!"
Long Chen's palm was pierced by a sharp pain, pierced through. And the moment his palm was pierced by the chains, the hundred thousand stars within him trembled, as if suppressed by a mysterious force. Long Chen's aura instantly dropped by a single section.
"The Nine-Star Soul-Chasing Lock is specially crafted for your Nine-Star successors. Once stabbed, you lose all your strength. How does that feel?"
The Nine Nether Hunter sneered, seemingly having anticipated this outcome. At the very moment Long Chen's hand was stabbed, a short knife appeared in his other hand, stabbing straight at Long Chen's chest.
"Smack!"
Just as he approached Long Chen and thought Long Chen had lost all strength, Long Chen slapped him across the face, causing his head to explode in midair.
"Thud!"
The headless corpse fell from the void, and a Nine Nether Hunter was killed by a single slap from Long Chen.
Even in his deathbed, he hadn't expected Long Chen's body to tremble. He was clearly hit by the wound, so how could he still have the strength to fight back?
"Clap clap clap...
A round of applause broke out. The middle-aged man clapped his hands and said, "Not bad, not bad. Being able to resist the power of the Nine-Star Soul-Chasing Lock shows you're not a weakling. Very good. Maybe you'll surprise me even more." Long
Chen's strength only made the middle-aged man even more excited, because the Nine Nether Hunters made a living by hunting Nine-Star successors. The stronger the Nine-Star Inheritors hunted, the higher their rewards.
This middle-aged man held a very high position among the Nine Nether Hunters. He had previously hunted down three Nine-Star Heirs and had some understanding of them.
"Whoosh!"
Four more people flicked their chains, ready to charge at Long Chen. But this time, Long Chen didn't wait for them to act. Instead, he took the initiative and charged straight at the middle-aged man.
"Young man, you're too impatient. Let me see if you're qualified first, let me make a move." The middle-aged man shook his head. Facing Long Chen's attack, he showed utter disdain, as if he had no intention of fighting Long Chen.
However, it was unclear whether he was deliberately provoking Long Chen or genuinely disdainful of fighting him.
"Qualification?" I'll let you know what qualification is. As
Long Chen made his move, four Nine Nether Hunters struck simultaneously. The Dragon Bone Evil Moon blade in Long Chen's hand slashed out, its chilling blade energy shaking the void.
"Puff puff"
The four Nine Nether Hunters were shattered by Long Chen's blade. The furious strike sliced through space and charged straight at the middle-aged man.
"Bang!"
But the middle-aged man slapped his large hand, and a barrier appeared. Long Chen's fierce blade wind was easily deflected by him.
"Very good, very good, this is definitely a big deal, the biggest deal ever." Long Chen's strength made the middle-aged man smile even more happily.
As he laughed, more and more Nine Nether Hunters appeared in the grand hall—there were actually several hundred of them.
"Buzz"
As soon as they appeared, their figures flickered, and hundreds surrounded Long Chen. The chains in each person's hand were like venomous snakes ready to bite anyone.
"Alright, let's end the probing. With your strength, it's worth the effort I put in to bring you to the last session.
The three Nine-Star successors he killed before were all too weak and all at a dead end. Today, he was lucky to encounter an outlier among the Nine-Star inheritors.
Even the shape of the six-star battle body is different. I wonder if you are the legendary Child of Destiny. If so, then I'm in for a fortune. I can go directly to the Brahma Divine Venerable to claim the Pearl of Fate and become a Realm Lord.
But even if you're not, it doesn't matter. I have a feeling that handing you over to the Brahma God Lord will surely bring generous rewards. The middle-aged man laughed, laughing happily.
"Whoosh."
The middle-aged man waved his hand, and a scene appeared in the void, showing powerful figures being killed.
They were both Nine-Star heirs. Two had activated the Five-Star Battle Body, one had the Six-Star Battle Body. His Six-Star Battle Body was a hexagonal pattern, the most primitive.
All three ultimately died at the hands of that middle-aged man. Before dying, they let out unwilling roars, filling Long Chen with rage.
As fellow Nine-Star successors, the middle-aged man showing them the scene of their deaths was the greatest humiliation to Long Chen.
"Why, why are there always so many people in this world who like to seek death?" Long Chen's voice was low, his body trembling with rage. Black energy began to flow around him, and a strong killing intent began to unleash continuously.
Today, Long Chen had never been so furious. The killing intent in his heart kept being ignited, and he felt himself sinking into an abyss.
He wanted to control his anger, but there were always people who kept provoking him, constantly making him want to kill. He couldn't understand what had happened to this world.
"Buzz"—
At that moment, the chains in the hands of hundreds of hunters glowed and rapidly stretched, forming chains thousands of miles long, intertwining and weaving into a giant net.
"Boom!"
The moment the giant net formed, the entire Tianwu Continent was instantly filled with ravines. It was a terrifying formation, so great that even the continent couldn't withstand it, almost on the verge of shattering.
Boom!
At the core of the formation, Long Chen endured the power of hundreds of hunters. The space around Long Chen had begun to distort, and his body felt as if billions of stars were crushing him.
Even more terrifying, as soon as the formation formed, the hexagram phenomenon behind Long Chen began to tremble incessantly, as if under immense pressure and about to burst.
"Crack, crack...
Long Chen's bones started to crack. The immense pressure was causing his bones to bend and show signs of shattering. It was a strange force, as if it specifically countered the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique.
"Submit to me. This Star-Destroying Heavens Array is specially prepared for your Nine Star Sect. Not to mention you haven't awakened your dominance yet—even if you did, your current cultivation level still can't withstand the strength of so many people." The middle-aged man looked down at Long Chen and said calmly.
"Many tyrants in the world do so because they lack reverence. If it could make the world suffer again, I'd rather become a demon, raise my butcher's knife, and kill all of you who are inherently inferior."
Long Chen's voice sprang out through clenched teeth, as if a god had made a vow, or perhaps a demon god cursed.
The hexagram pattern behind
Long Chen was originally constant, but suddenly two triangular patterns began to move—one rotated to the left, the other to the right. The six-colored divine rings also began to rotate in two directions: three to the left, three to the right.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
As the hexagram spun, the stars within Long Chen trembled and were instantly ignited. All his power surged forth, and the grand formation above his head began to crack.
The middle-aged man, who had been calm and indifferent, was finally moved. His eyes gleamed with a sharp light, his face full of disbelief.
"Boom!"
The grand formation shattered, and all the Nine Nether Hunters who had set up the formation were reduced to dust. At the same time, the power within Long Chen surged like a river breaking its banks, piercing straight into the clouds, changing the color of the sky and shaking the universe.
