"Rumble rumble... Above
the nine heavens, two giant hands appeared, seven stars swirling on their palms, and heaven and earth trembled beneath them.
These hands seemed like heavenly hands, ruling over the world. Even the heavenly tribulation trembled uneasily, and as their hands clashed, a huge rift was torn open in the sky.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
The pillar of thunder, like a prison, began to crack, as if consciously resisting the power of those hands. The two were locked in a stalemate, a sight beyond belief.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a thunderous explosion erupted. The thunder prison covering heaven and earth shattered with a roar, turning into an endless sea of thunder. The heavenly tribulation phenomenon was actually torn apart by those giant hands.
"Who gave you the guts to dare enslave the great Nine Star lineage?"
The Nine-Star successor roared to the sky, his voice piercing the eternal heavens, breaking through the constraints of time and space, as if conversing with the past and roaring toward the future.
"Pfft!"
At that moment, the besieged Kuntu spat blood again. He was besieged by six Nine-Star successors, but he fought back with all his might but was still forced to retreat in disgrace.
Even though the Nine-Star heir lost his physical body and only had spiritual will, being copied by the Heavenly Dao, he remained unstoppable. Kuntu finally understood why, under the same cultivation level, the Nine-Star heir could fight a billion with three thousand—they were all true formidable warriors.
But Kuntu was fierce too, unleashing his full power—trading wounds for injuries, risking his life—specifically targeting the chest of the Nine-Star Heir, killing more than a dozen in succession, absorbing their thunder, and his aura continued to surge.
Long Chen was also in crisis. He was covered in blood, having slain twenty-seven Nine-Star successors in succession, and was himself covered in wounds.
What terrified Long Chen was that these Nine-Star heirs didn't use any weapons. Whenever they attacked with their hands or feet, seven-star patterns would appear on their hands and feet. With the help of the Seven Star Diagram, they would directly meet Long Chen's Minghong Blade bare-handed, each time causing Long Chen's tiger mouth to split open and blood to flow.
What troubled Long Chen most was fighting fiercely with these Nine-Star heirs. With every collision, their thunderous power would invade his body. When the thunder entered his body, it was as if hot oil had been poured into his blood, causing unbearable pain.
If it weren't for Long Chen's rich combat experience and Lei Ling'er's help absorb the thunder power invading his body, he would have been killed long ago.
"Senior, what should we do? Is there a way to help me improve? Otherwise, I'm going to get killed. Watching Kuntu fight while absorbing the power of thunder, his strength rapidly increasing, Long Chen shouted.
But the dragon clan expert seemed to have vanished at this moment; no matter how much he called out, there was no response.
What terrified Long Chen the most was that the Nine Star successor, who possessed consciousness and could tear apart the sky barehanded, suddenly looked at him. At that moment, all the hair on Long Chen's body stood on end, as if he had been targeted by a wild beast.
"Whoosh."
Suddenly, that powerful figure vanished. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Long Chen. Seven stars swirled in his large hand, reaching out to grab him.
Clang!
Long Chen slashed down with his blade, but the long blade was firmly gripped by that large hand. The palm was like a blade, stabbing straight at Long Chen's chest.
"Pfft" Long Chen's
entire body was covered in scales, but in front of that large hand, he seemed utterly vulnerable, his palm piercing straight through Long Chen's body.
"Boss... Jiang
Lei was terrified, roaring as he charged toward them. But as soon as he charged forward, the Nine-Star heir kicked him. Although Jiang Lei was still hundreds of miles away, he was sent flying by an invisible force. Jiang Lei let out a muffled groan and shot across the sky like a meteor, crashing into the ground. The earth was left with a huge pit, and the man was buried in the earth.
Long Chen was both shocked and furious, murderous intent surging in his eyes, black runes flickering within his gaze as he prepared to activate the Eye of Purgatory.
"An outlier among the nine stars?" A cultivation method that went astray? A frail body? The Nine Stars have already changed, yet our Nine Stars lineage is being hunted like prey? Suddenly, the Nine-Star successor spoke, but his voice echoed in Long Chen's mind, not a soul transmission. It seemed to come from Long Chen's Fengfu Star.
"Ah..."
The Nine-Star successor let out a thunderous roar, his violent killing intent soaring into the sky. The overwhelming power sent the other Nine-Star heirs and Kuntu and the others flying.
"How could this happen? How could this happen? The
Nine-Star successor seemed to have gone mad. Long Chen was shaken by his violent force, blood flowing from his seven orifices, and his body nearly shattered.
But Long Chen did not use the Purgatory Eye; he felt a sense of closeness. Since this person recognized his identity, he would not harm him.
Suddenly, the Nine Stars heir's body trembled and murmured, "So that's how it is, so that's how it is." "
We're both from the Nine Star lineage. You won't make things difficult for me, will you?" Long Chen probed and asked. He didn't reply, but instead communicated with him using his soul power, because as the Nine-Star heir, he couldn't keep his name in the dark for now.
"Whoosh."
The Nine Star successor slowly released his palm, and Long Chen's body slipped out of his grip. However, his chest was pierced through by the Nine Star Successor's palm, blood flowing out—truly terrifying.
"... please."
Long Chen was about to thank him when suddenly countless figures appeared around him—all Nine Star heirs. Their large hands were spread, each holding a thunder longsword.
"Puff puff puff... Countless
thunderous longswords pierced through Long Chen's body at once, turning him into a hedgehog in an instant.
"Ah..."
Even someone as powerful as Long Chen screamed in pain after being pierced by so many thunder swords. Because the thunder power infused into his body, his vital blood began to burn—a pain Long Chen had never experienced before.
Lei Ling'er frantically helped Long Chen absorb the thunder power inside Long Chen, but the thunder was too violent. Lei Ling'er could only absorb a small portion, while most of the thunder rampaged within Long Chen.
"Let go of my boss... At that moment,
Jiang Lei charged in with a furious roar. He was covered in blood, and the last kick from that man nearly shattered him. Yet even so, Long Chen was in trouble, and he still charged forward without hesitation.
"Puff puff puff puff..."
As soon as he rushed over, he was surrounded by more than a dozen Nine-Star heirs, each stabbed into Jiang Lei's body with thunder swords. He was also stabbed into a prickly hedgehog. In front of these Nine-Star heirs, they were utterly powerless.
"Jiang Lei, please don't... Afraid ... "They're our own people... Long Chen wailed in pain, but remained clear-headed and sent a message to Jiang Lei.
At this moment, Jiang Lei was also wailing in pain, the thunder power pouring into his body, as if it was about to burst his body.
Within Long Chen's meridians flowed the essence blood of countless beasts. This essence blood was ignited by the power of thunder, continuously burning his meridians. Long Chen suffered immense pain, but he discovered that as the blood essence was ignited by the thunder, his meridians rapidly expanded. At the same time, as the flames burned, Long ChenThe impurities produced by absorbing the essence blood of myriad beasts were all burned away by the power of the thunder, making his body once again flawless and flawless.
"Your physical body is too weak. This is all we can do for you. Brother, you need to get stronger quickly and don't disgrace our Nine Star lineage."
As soon as the Nine-Star successor finished speaking, all the successors exploded with a roar, transforming into endless thunder runes that scattered across the heavens and earth.
