Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts Chapter 5416 True Astral Energy

Chapter 5416 True Astral Energy

Yun Feng and the others could hardly believe their eyes as they stared at the starlight now enveloping the bone blade.

“There are nine star heirs even in the future! Incredible... There’s hope yet for the nine heavens and ten lands!” exclaimed Yun Feng, his voice thick with excitement.

“As long as the nine star lineage continues, the Star Master’s will lives on! The human race will never fall!” Xinrui murmured, gazing at Long Chen with awe.

Suddenly, countless Blood Blade Three Eye Devils swarmed toward Long Chen, as if driven by a shared instinct. Whether it was due to him having slain one of their leaders or recognizing his ident.i.ty, no one knew.

“So be it, then. All out it is.” Long Chen’s voice echoed as he invoked his Eight Star Battle Armor, the divine ring of eight colors manifesting behind him. The stars above trembled, and the very ten thousand Daos seemed to rumble in resonance.

As Long Chen felt the world’s energy flow to him without resistance, he sensed himself as the pampered son of the heavens. The heavens poured their power into him as if he were their chosen.

His spirit surged; in this world, he felt like he held the heavens and earth in his grasp. He was no longer merely a warrior—he was a G.o.d, standing amidst the stars.

Everything in this universe was in the palm of his hand. It was like he had merged with the world. It was like the heavens were a warm mother entrusting all her hopes and power to him.

Long Chen quivered. Long Chen had never felt such profound harmony with the Heavenly Daos before. For the first time, he understood their pure will. Perhaps, in the distant past, the Heavenly Daos were truly meant to guide, not oppress, before something in them changed.

As his eight stars blazed, astral energy flooded him, and his Starry Sky Battle Robe s.h.i.+mmered with unrestrained power. Just like that, the Blood Blade Three Eye Devils charging at him were blown to smithereens.

Long Chen felt limitless now. Usually, he relied on two sources of astral energy: the starry sea within his Dantian and the astral energy he drew when he linked with the stars above. At first, Long Chen had relied on the astral energy inside his Dantian to fight. But later on, he touched upon a technique to form a resonance with the stars in the sky, drawing their vast power.

Initially, he could only gather a very limited amount of astral energy from the stars, tapping into perhaps ten percent of his Dantian’s power. But over time, his mastery grew, and now he could draw equal amounts from both, effectively doubling his astral energy reserves.

However, Long Chen always conserved his astral energy as it was the core of his strength. In every battle, he reserved some energy, always preparing for unexpected threats. But in this place, he felt like the astral energy of heaven and earth was limitless. He could freely absorb as much as he wanted.

“A nine star heir has appeared! Kill him together! What fat prey!”

The shout came from a man wearing a golden crown and snakeskin robes, lunging at Long Chen with a serpentine spear in hand, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

“Traitor!” Long Chen snarled, feeling the unmistakable presence of demonic qi radiating from the man.

Despite being a native of the nine heavens and ten lands, he stood alongside the devils, unchallenged by them—a clear sign of his betrayal.

In the distance, multiple terrifying auras rose and swarmed over.

“Little brother, you can’t fight them all! You must return to your world!” Yun Feng shouted, charging at one of the experts. “We’ll hold them off!”

“Ant, die!” the opponent, a nine-vein Heaven Saint, sneered as his explosive aura hurled Yun Feng backward, rendering him helpless.

“Hahaha, fortune smiles on me today! I never thought I’d encounter a nine-star heir here,” the nine-vein Heaven Saint laughed as he was the first to reach Long Chen.

“Traitor, die!” Long Chen shouted, lunging forward with the bone blade.

“Don’t kill him! Capture him alive!” ordered the crowned man from behind.

“Don’t worry, he’ll be breathing when I’m done. But first, I want to see if these legendary nine star heirs are as strong as they claim,” sneered the nine-vein Heaven Saint.

With an arrogant smile, he lowered his cultivation to the Earth Saint realm, suppressing his heaven vein dragon qi entirely.

BOOM!

With a resounding boom, Long Chen’s blade clashed against the Heaven Saint’s saber. Both were forced back, evenly matched.

“What?!”

Long Chen was shocked and enraged. The two of them were evenly matched? He hadn’t expected to encounter such a terrifying existence within the same realm in this place.

The Heaven Saint laughed mockingly, blood trickling from his mouth. Though slightly wounded, he was unphased. “Hehe, unrivaled within the same realm? What a joke. Nine star heirs aren’t that strong.”

He exuded immense confidence, eager to test if the legends about nine star heirs were true. In his arrogance, he was willing to gamble with his own life. Though injured, the nine star heir was far weaker than he had antic.i.p.ated.

With a sinister smile, he lunged at Long Chen, his saber aimed directly at his chest.

To everyone’s surprise, Long Chen’s Starry Sky Battle Robe was torn through effortlessly, and the saber pierced his flesh.

Yun Feng and the others gasped in horror, their hearts sinking as they rushed to him. They couldn’t let him die here.

His attacker was equally stunned. This strike had been to provoke a reaction from Long Chen. After that, he would adjust the following attacks based on Long Chen’s response. However, Long Chen neither blocked nor dodged.

As the saber embedded into his body, Long Chen’s astral energy erupted in a violent surge. The sword became shrouded in stars, and the attacker froze in shock as the energy poured into him. He was horrified to find that he was paralyzed, unable to control his own body.

Long Chen raised the white bone blood blade high above his head, and with a devastating slash, it came cras.h.i.+ng down toward that expert’s head.
