Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

The barrier shuddered. Long Chen appeared on the other side. He looked back at Long Tianrui only to see that there was only primal chaos behind him. He couldn’t see anything.

Once he entered this barrier, Long Chen felt an incredibly ancient and desolate aura. Long Chen followed that aura forward.

Long Chen suddenly realized that he wasn’t walking on dirt. He was walking on a mirror.

The moment he noticed this mirror, the surrounding space once more changed. He was now standing in the blue sky.

Above him and below him, there was only sky. There were white clouds. It was a pure world that looked cleansed of all worries. Long Chen felt like his own soul was being cleansed.

He was amazed by his surroundings. He couldn’t sense spatial energy here. He couldn’t sense the flow of time. Even the power of the ten thousand Daos seemed to have vanished. He felt like he was in his own unique and isolated space, a space where time was frozen.

In this place, there was no life, no death. It felt like a world of eternity.

Long Chen suddenly looked up to see an ancient stone stele floating. Countless runes flashed around it. It was the Jiuli Divine Stele.

However, at this time, the Jiuli Divine Stele was only three meters tall. Its enormous runes had also become tiny.

Long chen felt a wave of excitement. He slowly walked forward. When he got close to it, tit began to buzz. Various runes flickered rapidly.

According to Long Tianrui, when he saw the Jiuli Divine Stele, it would mean he had entered the inner world of the Jiuli Divine Stele.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

This world was unique to him. Anyone who broke through the ninth barrier would enter a unique space. Thus, here, he could comprehend the Jiuli immortal characters peacefully.

“Long Tianrui said that just comprehending over ten of the three thousand divine characters would allow him to potentially step into the half-step Sovereign realm. But then what if you were to comprehend them all? Wouldn’t you become the master of the nine heavens?”

Long Chen eyed the divine stele. What kind of joke was that? Only comprehend seventeen? And who was he supposed to leave the rest for? Boss Long San would be taking them all.

When Long Chen arrived in front of it, the Jiuli Divine Stele’s runes became exceptionally active. With his previous experience, Long Chen knew that he only needed to use his Spiritual Strength to draw out one of them and he could commune with it.

Long Tianrui told Long Chen that he had to carefully select what rune to comprehend. If he couldn’t form any resonance with a rune, he should give up and look for a different one.

If he were to remain in a stubborn battle with one rune, he might just miss his chance to comprehend any of them. Then that really would be a joke.

“What kind of joke is this? All of their fluctuations are the same. There’s also no pattern to their orbits. How am I supposed to know which one has destiny with me?” Long Chen was speechless as he stared at the swirling runes.

Long Tianrui said that he just had to ignite his blood and he would quickly form a resonance with some of them. But Long Chen couldn’t. His bloodline was mixed. This method wouldn’t work for him.

Seeing the countless runes flowing on the Jiuli Divine Stele, Long Chen’s head quickly worked as he tried to think of something.

He didn’t know how much time passed. He suddenly clenched his teeth.

“Divine ring, battle armor!”

Countless stars filled the sky.

“Ignite!”

Long Chen shouted, and flames burst out of the stars. Long Chen’s astral energy was unleashed to its max.

“If I were to comprehend them one by one, how long would it take? Whether I’m a dragon or a serpent will be decided here!”

Long Chen clenched his teeth. A seven-color divine rune appeared. This was a core rune containing the essence of his seven-color Supreme Blood. He slowly pressed it against the Jiuli Divine Stele.

BOOM!

The tablet quivered, and suddenly a wild burst of energy struck Long Chen.

Long Chen’s robes exploded, and his skin was ripped open. Blood mist exploded. Long Chen felt like he had just been cut by millions of blades. His bones were exposed in many places.

“That was close.”

Pain radiated throughout his body. His organs were destroyed. But this was still within his expectations. Having endured the first impact, he had taken his first step to success.

The rune in his hand was on the verge of collapse. But now a whirlpool of stars appeared. A Jiuli divine rune slowly flowed into the whirlpool.

“AH!”

Even though he was prepared, Long Chen still screamed. A Jiuli divine rune appeared in his mind-sea.

His mind-sea was churning. His soul was ablaze. Although this burning didn’t burn his core, the pain was intolerable.

The skin on his face was gone, but what remained was twisted in pain. His eyes almost exploded out of their sockets.

It was so painful that Long Chen almost gave up. The Jiuli divine rune was burning his soul. It was millions of times more painful than any torture. It was so painful that it could make a person’s will instantly collapse.

“AHH!”

Long Chen continued to roar, using this method to take his mind off of the pain. His Spiritual Strength circulated as he drew this divine rune towards the Divine Gate in his mind-sea.

When the divine rune entered the Divine Gate, it instantly vanished, reappearing within the starry sea in his Dantian.

“Success or failure depends on this.”

Long Chen clenched his teeth and drew this divine rune towards one of the stars in his starry sea.

The moment he placed his divine rune on one of the stars, the star shook, and then exploded.

“Damn, failure.”

A star was unable to endure the power of this divine rune. This path could not be walked.

Perhaps it might work if he used the FengFu Star or Alioth Star, but if it did fail and that star also exploded, Long Chen would be truly unable to ever recover. Even Long Chen didn’t dare to gamble with them.

“Wait!”

Just as Long Chen was preparing to give up, he suddenly shouted. He saw something where his star had just exploded. There was a tiny gold light.

“That’s… the star core! The star core didn’t explode!” Long Chen was overjoyed.

The star core had not just exploded, but there was a divine rune embedded within it now. 

“Success!”

Long Chen shouted excitedly. This brazen thinking of his really did work.

Long Chen directly drew a second divine rune into his spiritual space, and then a third, a fourth…
