"Success!"
Long Chen's face was filled with ecstatic joy. He had accurately predicted the position of the Nine-Star successor, which meant he had already grasped the rules of footwork. As long as he patiently explored and studied carefully, he too could possess such unfathomable footwork.
Thinking of this, Long Chen grew even more excited. Not far across from him, the Nine-Star successor dressed in white looked at Long Chen with a blank expression.
On the front of his robe, a fist mark appeared—it was the one Long Chen had just thrown with his punch.
No one knew what material his clothes were made of, but Long Chen's full-force strike only left a faint mark.
At this moment, Long Chen, except for a pair of underwear barely covering himself, was covered in blood everywhere else, looking utterly disheveled.
"Impressive! To figure out the patterns of the Nebula Step so quickly. Although it's only a beginner Nebula Step, without any guidance, he managed to figure out the general framework so quickly and accurately predict the next move. This guy is definitely a genius in the cultivation world."
At this moment, the Qiankun Cauldron watching from the edge of the arena couldn't help but secretly exclaim in admiration.
"Perhaps the Heavenly Dao is fair, giving him such an astonishing talent in cultivation, which is why, at times, he becomes like an idiot." At the same time, the Qiankun Cauldron reached a conclusion.
At this moment, the arena was silent. Long Chen and the Nine-Star disciple locked eyes. Long Chen didn't move, nor did the Nine-Star disciple move. On the duel arena, the only thing that moved was the star map on the dome.
As the star map circulated, the entire arena was shrouded in a strange, murderous aura. Then, the arena slowly disappeared, and Long Chen appeared in a wild world.
The dueling arena was gone, the arena was gone. Looking out, this was a desolate world, the ground covered in stone, stretching endlessly. Everything had changed except the starry sky above.
"Feelings are all warm-up for the trial. Now is the real beginning." Seeing this scene, Long Chen took a deep breath, his expression turning serious.
This trial was like a heavenly tribulation; what awaited was a true bloody battle. Whether it was life or death depended on this final battle.
"Don't be afraid, fight with confidence. With me here, you absolutely won't die!"
At that moment, the voice of the Qiankun Cauldron cauldron. At some unknown time, the cauldron had also entered this world.
"Rumble rumble... Before
Long Chen could reply, the Nine-Star disciple's white robes fluttered, his long hair flying, the Seven-Star Divine Diagram flickering in his eyes, and the seven sun-like stars behind him trembled. The entire world began to tremble because of his power.
"Come on, let me see just how powerful the prodigies from ancient times really are!" Facing the man in white, Long Chen was fearless, and the sea of stars within his divine ring began to tremble.
"Seven Star Battle Body, activate!"
Long Chen and the Nine-Star disciple roared in unison. At that moment, two violent auras erupted from the soles of their feet, like a tornado shooting straight into the sky, shaking the heavens.
"Kill!"
Long Chen and the Nine-Star disciple shouted simultaneously. Their black robes fluttered, white robes fluttered, like two meteors in black and white, carrying the most violent force, crashing fiercely toward each other.
"Boom!"
The two fists merged with their strongest powers and collided fiercely. It was a world-shaking strike. The moment the fists met, the colorful world instantly turned black and white.
A sphere of light was born between their fists. As soon as it appeared, it rapidly expanded, instantly devouring billions of miles of space.
The ground was torn apart, boulders crushed to dust, and amid countless wails, Long Chen and the Nine-Star disciples were both sent flying backward.
In this strike, the two fought evenly, which greatly boosted Long Chen's confidence.
"One-Star Divine Fall."
The Nine-Star disciple shouted sharply. Suddenly, he formed a seal with his right hand and grabbed fiercely at the void with his left. At that moment, a star in the heavens rapidly dimmed.
Immediately after, a fist-sized orb of light appeared in his left hand. The orb glowed, running from his left hand along his arm, piercing through his body, and shooting out from his right hand.
"What?"
Long Chen was shocked. The orb shot toward him, its vast divine might making his hair stand on end. Long Chen roared and blocked with both fists.
With a loud explosion, the orb was shattered by Long Chen, but the terrifying power made him feel as if he had been struck by a star. Even with the Star Map protecting his hands, his palms went numb from the impact.
"Whoosh!"
Long Chen's body was sent flying, and in the earth, he plowed a large trench.
"Twin Star Flying Rainbow"
Before Long Chen could steady himself, the Nine-Star disciple appeared behind him, holding a sphere in each hand and simultaneously smashing it down toward him.
"Sss"
Long Chen had no time to dodge. He flicked out two beams of divine light with his fingers. The divine light struck the orb, and both exploded with a thunderous explosion a hundred li in front of Long Chen.
Long Chen used the power of the stars to detonate the divine abilities of the Nine-Star disciples. Although it was prematurely detonated, the terrifying force tore through vast areas of the void. Long Chen was so shaken he let out a muffled groan and nearly coughed up blood.
"Three-Star Soul Chaser!"
The cold voice of the Nine-Star disciple rang out, and three stars shot toward Long Chen like a volley of cannons.
The orb had originally taken the form of a light sphere, but now it had the shape of a star. Facing the Nine-Star disciples, Long Chen had lost the power to fight back once again, and it was too late to detonate three stars.
"Boom boom boom!"
Three consecutive explosions rang out. Long Chen punched one away, his hands instantly torn apart with bloody flesh. For the last star, Long Chen could only defend with his chest.
"Pfft!"
Long Chen spat blood wildly, his bones and tendons broken from the impact, and he rolled out in a sorry state.
"Four-Star Prison Demon"
Four pillars of light descended from the sky. At the core of the pillars, Long Chen was instantly empowered by a terrifying seal. All four strands of star power pressed precisely down on Long Chen, causing the ground beneath his feet to collapse in an instant.
This was still the initial stage; the four beams of light hadn't fully pressed down, but Long Chen already felt as if his bones were about to be crushed.
At this moment, the nine-star disciple was unleashing his ultimate moves one after another, leaving Long Chen no chance to catch his breath. If he were pressed down by these four-star players, he could be crushed in an instant.
"Drive it for me!"
Long Chen roared angrily, but no one knew where he found the strength. He opened his large hand, the sea of stars behind him trembled, and endless stars gathered in his palm, forming a blade of stars.
With the Star Blade in hand, Long Chen swung a strike, and a divine radiance shot out, like a heavenly blade pointing diagonally at the sky.
"Boom!"
The Star Blade slashed at the four stars, shattering with a thunderous crash.
"Star Destroys the World!"
Long Chen roared. At this moment, he couldn't care about anything else. He spread his large hand, endless stars swirling in his palm, forming a lotus shape as he fiercely smashed toward the Nine-Star disciple.
From the Nine-Star disciple, Long Chen found a way to control the power of the Star Sea, but he didn't know the technique, so he could only use force recklessly to control the World-Destroying Fire Lotus.
"Five-Star Sky Breaker"
Facing Long Chen's Star Lotus, the Nine-Star disciple formed hand seals with both hands, five stars aligned, and shot straight at Long Chen's Star Lotus.
