Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts Chapter 5265 Sparring Partner

Chapter 5265 Sparring Partner

Within the black Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, Gu Yang was fighting the Heaven Devil. The Heaven Devil had three dark-gold runic javelins stabbed into its back, which suppressed its power and brought its cultivation base down to the Eternal realm. Thanks to this, his cultivation base was equivalent to Gu Yang’s.

Despite the suppression, Gu Yang was astonished by the Heaven Devil's strength. In just a few breaths, Gu Yang was covered in wounds.

The attack speed of the Heaven Devil was shocking, catching everyone off guard. Fortunately, Gu Yang was extremely tough, or he would have been torn apart.

“d.a.m.n humans! You inferior ants will be destroyed sooner or later!” the Heaven Devil spat, his mouth full of venom despite being reduced to Gu Yang’s sparring partner in the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.

Previously, such insults would have enraged Long Chen, but now, he found them amusing. As long as the Heaven Devil was cursing, it was a good sign. They could just put him in his place.

If he instead started pleading for mercy while weeping on his knees, they wouldn’t be able to bully him anymore. They couldn’t do that to someone who had surrendered.

BOOM!

A claw from the Heaven Devil pierced Gu Yang’s chest, but at the same time, Gu Yang’s fist slammed into the Heaven Devil’s face, causing him to faint. Gu Yang had won the fight, though he was left b.l.o.o.d.y and battered.

At this sight, all the dragon race’s elite disciples were completely stunned. After all, Gu Yang was one of the Dragonblood Legion’s four captains, and he was second only to Long Chen in terms of power or toughness. But even he barely sc.r.a.ped by in a fight against a Heaven Devil who had been suppressed to the same realm.

To be fair, Gu Yang was at a disadvantage. Although neither used weapons, the Heaven Devil's sharp claws, horns, and spiked tail were formidable tools of slaughter. Even though they weren’t as strong as the bone sword that Long Chen had shattered, they were still more powerful than an average Human Emperor divine weapon.

Gu Yang panted and walked out of the arena, leaving a trail of blood. The hole in his chest was particularly appalling. However, his eyes were gleaming with excitement. Clenching his fist, he said, “That was satisfying! Fighting against a true expert like that has started awakening my dragon soul energy.”

Hearing this, all the Dragonblood warriors were filled with antic.i.p.ation. Although they had merged with their dragon souls and gained some basic divine abilities, much of the true power of the dragon souls was still locked away. They needed to grow stronger to unlock more of these abilities, and a powerful opponent like the Heaven Devil was the perfect catalyst.

The dragon souls weren’t intentionally limiting the Dragonblood warriors. After all, they were the ones who had chosen to merge with them. However, they had to seal their own energy before they left the blood pool to preserve their souls.

The problem was that they required an outside force to open this kind of seal. Hearing Gu Yang say that his dragon soul’s energy was awakening thanks to the spar, all the Dragonblood warriors were excited.

Long Chen walked over to the unconscious Heaven Devil and stuffed a medicinal pill into his mouth. His body convulsed as his wounds began to heal rapidly, and within a short time, his aura returned to full strength.

The disciples were amazed by the Heaven Devil’s recovery. If such a monster had endless medicinal pills, it could become an unstoppable killing machine.

“Don’t worry,” Long Chen rea.s.sured them. “This pill is overdrafting his lifeforce. He can only endure a limited number of fights before dying. Plus, he will build tolerance to the pills, reducing their effectiveness. And because my pills are crafted for humans, they will eventually harm him if consumed in excess. So each captain will only get one chance to fight. Don’t go overboard, or you’ll ruin our sparring partner.”

After saying that, Long Chen kicked the Heaven Devil in the chest, jolting him awake. The Heaven Devil then roared and leaped up, attacking Long Chen with his claws.

A golden s.h.i.+eld suddenly appeared in front of Long Chen, and the Heaven Devil’s claws stabbed into it. At that moment, Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ stepped forward, her body radiating golden divine light as she swung her sword toward the Heaven Devil’s claws.

BOOM!

Both Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ and the Heaven Devil were blown back by the force of the clash. With Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ now in the fray, Long Chen stepped aside to observe.

Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+’s battle with the Heaven Devil was intense, her sword clas.h.i.+ng against the creature’s sharp nails and bone spikes. Despite the Heaven Devil still being in its peak state, when Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+’s manifestation appeared, her powerful metal energy suppressed him.

“d.a.m.n human, you’re shameless! If you have the guts, free me from these seals!” roared the Heaven Devil.

With her manifestation rapidly awakening, Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+’s energy was growing stronger by the day, and the Heaven Devil couldn’t keep up.

Suddenly, her manifestation vanished, causing her aura to weaken sharply. Everyone watching was startled, and the Heaven Devil, sensing an opportunity, unleashed a barrage of attacks.

“Even without my manifestation, a fool like you has no chance of defeating me,” Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ said coldly.

In response, she summoned a golden s.h.i.+eld in her left hand, which bore the image of the G.o.ddess from her manifestation. When the Heaven Devil’s tail struck it, the s.h.i.+eld remained undamaged, while the Heaven Devil staggered back.

“This s.h.i.+eld...!”

Long Chen was shocked. Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ had managed to imprint the totem of her Heavenly Fate Disk onto the s.h.i.+eld, showing her impressive control over her manifestation. Her rate of progress was monstrous!

Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ followed up while her opponent couldn’t retaliate. She unleashed eighteen sword strikes in a row, causing eighteen new wounds to appear on the Heaven Devil’s body.

Bai s.h.i.+s.h.i.+’s strength and metal energy had reached a shocking level, stunning everyone. The Heaven Devil’s terrifying body was unable to withstand her attacks.

“Undo the seal! Let s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ fight at full power!” ordered Long Chen suddenly. Xia Chen nodded and formed a series of hand seals, causing the three dark-gold javelins stabbing the Heaven Devil’s back to lose their glow.

BOOM!

With the seal undone, the Heaven Devil’s aura erupted to a new level, and berserk devil qi crashed over everyone.
