Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5258 Unmatched Battle Robe

The bone blade slammed into Long Chen’s neck with a thunderous impact, and the resulting astral winds nearly sliced Guo Ran and the others’ faces. However, they paid no attention to the danger. Their eyes were glued to Long Chen, who stood unmoving with the bone blade pressed against his neck.

Blood slowly dripped down, but it wasn’t Long Chen’s—it belonged to the Earth Devil. Despite the blow to his neck, Long Chen hadn’t flinched. Instead, it was the Earth Devil whose hand was bleeding from the impact.

The sound of his blood dripping to the ground was very light, but everyone heard it clearly. That was because the battlefield had fallen into an eerie silence. Everyone was utterly stunned by what they had just witnessed.

“That’s… that’s too monstrous!” Guo Ran’s jaw dropped, completely dumbfounded.

Even Guo Ran, who was accustomed to Long Chen’s overwhelming strength, couldn’t believe what he was seeing. A two-vein Emperor wielding an Emperor divine weapon had unleashed a full-power attack, yet Long Chen had withstood it with his neck. The sheer absurdity of his defense left them speechless.

“The Starry Sky Battle Robe…” muttered Long Chen.

Long Chen found that the strength of the Starry Sky Battle Robe was tied to his Spirit Root. The moment he was in danger, it would automatically appear.

While it looked like the attack had landed on Long Chen’s neck, it had actually struck the collar of his Starry Sky Battle Robe. As the blade approached, he felt the flof his Spirit Root flare within his Dantian, spreading its energy throughout the starry sea in his body.

The stars on the Battle Robe flashed in response, concentrating their power at the point of impact and blocking the attack. However, Long Chen could sense his Spirit Root slightly weakened after the effort. 

This meant that the robe’s defensive power wasn’t limitless; if multiple attacks of this caliber were aimed at different areas of Long Chen’s body, the robe’s defense would be spread thin and weaken, eventually crumbling.

Yet, despite this limitation, Long Chen was overjoyed. His Spirit Root had only just awakened, and its potential was immense. For it to already provide such a powerful defense meant its future growth would be boundless.

Suddenly, an even more shocking sight unfolded. The bone blade that had struck Long Chen’s neck began to crack, and soon, it shattered, falling to the ground in pieces.

The Earth Devil was now filled with terror. His body quivered, and in a panic, he turned to flee. However, he was too late. Long Chen summoned Evilmoon and bisected him in one clean stroke. A two-vein Emperor’s physical body was nothing in front of Evilmoon’s sharpness, crumbling like a soft cabbage before its blade.

“How dare you useon this trash?!” raged Evilmoon.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hearing this, Long Chen almost spat out blood. He angrily said, “Weren’t you the one who said to take you out when fighting?!”

Evilmoon had insisted for Long Chen to summon it, so it could absorb the blood soul energy of powerful enemies. However, now it seemed to be acting up. The truth was, Long Chen could have killed this Earth Devil without Evilmoon, but he had summoned it because of its request.

“I said I wanted to be present, not that I needed to do the dirty work myself. Just carryon your back. Are you trying to humiliateby makingkill ssmall fries?” Evilmoon complained, sounding almost indignant.

“You…” Long Chen was at a loss for words, nearly coughing up blood. Ever since their encounter with the Dragon Sovereign, Evilmoon seemed to have developed a competitive streak, always trying to prove its superiority—especially over the Earth Cauldron and even the Dragon Sovereign.

“Attack him together!”

At this moment, the Earth Devils finally recovered their wits. Seeing their comrade slain so easily, they realized that they were in deep shit. After summoning their Emperor vein runes, they unleashed their full power as they flooded toward Long Chen.

“Kill!” Long Chen roared, charging into battle with Evilmoon blazing in his hand. 

Guo Ran, Xia Chen, Bai Shishi, Yue Zifeng, Bai Xiaole, and the others rushed forward as well, clashing with the Earth Devils.

Each tEvilmoon flashed, the Emperor divine weapons wielded by the Earth Devils broke into pieces. Its sharpness shocked even Long Chen. 

The leader of the Earth Devils refused to believe this and clashed against Long Chen with his trident. As a result, two of the prongs of this trident were directly sliced off by Evilmoon. With only one prong left, the trident looked extremely pitiful.

“When did you get this strong?” asked Long Chen, fully shocked by Evilmoon’s sharpness.

Half of this statement was meant for Long Chen, but the other half was clearly a jab at the Earth Cauldron. Evilmoon’s rivalry with the Earth Cauldron had been intensifying.

Hearing Evilmoon talking like a resentful shrew, Long Chen suppressed a laugh. When did this proud weapon becso petty?

“Boss, the legion seems to be in strouble. You should go help them!” shouted Guo Ran.

Without thinking about it, Long Chen directly charged over, only to realize midway that his bros were trying to get him away from their battlefield. They had seen how sharp Evilmoon was and wanted to fight the Earth Devils themselves.

However, that was actually reasonable. With Evilmoon in hand, the two-vein Emperors were no match for Long Chen. He felt that it was better to let his comrades gain experience against such opponents.

After that, Long Chen sheathed Evilmoon on his back and stepped aside, watching over the battlefield from a distance. With his watchful eye on them, Guo Ran and the others fought freely. They pushed themselves to the limit against the powerful Earth Devils. While the Earth Devils were formidable, with Yue Zifeng leading the charge, everything remained under control.

Two hours later, the final two-vein Emperor fell. With the Earth Devils defeated, the remaining devil creatures were swiftly wiped out, bringing the battle to an end.

As they cleaned the battlefield, Long Chen noticed that the golden lotus in his primal chaos space had grown even brighter. Its divine light shone on him, filling him with a sense of warmth and clarity. It was like a guiding beacon in the dark, ensuring he would never lose his way.

Just as Long Chen and his companions were about to rest, the ground rumbled ominously. Slowly, the earth split open, and a massive altar started to emerge. When Long Chen saw it, his heart skipped a beat.
