Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5200 Eighth Volume Awakens

BOOM!

The chanting wasn’t holy or sacred like the murmurs of gods. Instead, it was violent, bloodthirsty, and filled with a destructive will. It echoed like a devil's roar, shaking heaven and earth with every word, every syllable.

The black dragon around Long Chen suddenly bulged and cracked, startling the palace master.

BOOM!

As he shouted, the manifestation of an enormous barbarian dragon appeared, so large that it covered the sun. It joined forces with the black dragon, stabilizing it.

However, the destructive chanting continued, shaking the entire academy. The terrifying voice filled everyone with dread.

“What happened to Boss? This killing intent is absolutely terrifying,” murmured Guo Ran in shock.

Long Chen’s aura was completely different now, making him seem like a stranger. Even his closest allies were afraid of him.

“Long Chen has awakened his own Nirvana Scripture. Everyone, back up. When he’s done chanting, the flames might explode, and I might not be able to contain them,” warned the palace master.

No one questioned him. They immediately retreated, while the first academy’s disciples trembled in terror, overwhelmed by Long Chen’s aura.

Despite them being Eternal experts, they were astounded by Long Chen’s power. The disciples of the Heaven Rankings felt a deep sense of powerlessness. They finally understood why Long Chen was the youngest dean in the history of the High Firmament Academy. Someone with such a rare combination of intelligence and power was truly one in a million. But they had encountered him.

The chanting grew louder, like roaring thunder. The flame energy of heaven and earth surged toward Long Chen, growing more intense.

“Heavens, the palace master’s black dragon is on fire!”

People watched in horror as the black dragon around Long Chen began to burn fiercely. Flames erupted from cracks in its body, turning its scales red. The black dragon became a flame dragon.

The chanting came to a stop. But all of a sudden, the black flame dragon swelled, growing ten times larger in an instant. Seeing this, the academy’s experts let out sharp cries.

If the black flame dragon exploded, the devastation would destroy the academy. Furthermore, only a few of them would survive.

The flames around Long Chen erupted like a volcano. The palace master’s black dragon continued to swell, revealing a translucent dragon hiding beneath the black scales, with flames swirling inside.

BOOM!

Suddenly, the palace master’s black dragon exploded. Even Guo Ran and the others were horrified. Just as Guo Ran was about to order the Dragonblood Legion to summon their greatest defense, the flames that blew apart the black dragon didn’t spread. Instead, they soared into the heavens, piercing a massive hole in the sky.

The wall of the heavens was torn open, like the end of the world. The hole didn’t heal for a long time, as even the laws of the Heavenly Daos couldn’t mend it. The power of the attack was unimaginable.

If the palace master hadn’t guided the energy skyward, the entire first academy would have been destroyed.

“What a terrifying destructive law. It almost went out of control,” murmured the palace master, staring at the gaping hole in the heavens with a twinge of fear.

Guo Ran and the others were shocked to see the palace master pale and drained of Blood Qi, clearly having paid a steep price to control Long Chen’s attack.

“Long Chen!”

Yu Qingxuan and Bai Shishi saw Long Chen still standing in front of the Pill Sovereign’s divine statue, unmoving. Just as they were about to approach him, the palace master raised his hand to stop them.

“Long Chen is still not himself. He doesn’t even realize that he has awakened the eighth volume of the Nirvana Scripture. Let him retreat from that realm on his own. Don’t disturb him,” cautioned the palace master.

The Pill Institute’s palace was in ruins. Fortunately, the pill furnaces and secret tomes were protected by the divine statue’s power.

Long Chen’s eyes were tightly shut, and his killing intent raged on. He stood like a statue, lost in a world of nothingness.

Hatred... boundless hatred. Long Chen’s hatred for Lord Brahma had reached unprecedented heights. This seed of hatred spread through his blood, bones, and soul.

You are him, you are not him.

Long Chen recalled the Pill Sovereign’s words. Yu Qingxuan had gone through a thousand reincarnations. Was she the Pill Sovereign? Was she not?

A thousand and one reincarnations. This time, she was infected by the Nether Emperor’s karma. Was it because of this karma that she could escape Lord Brahma’s control?

“What about me? Who am I? This arrogance deep in my soul... Does it come from myself or someone else’s memories?

“If I am the reincarnation of a peak expert, why did I grow up as trash? It was only after being beaten up in the Phoenix Cry Empire that those memories awakened. How did that change occur?

“Did I hide my own status to protect myself? Or was it this world’s karma that undid the seal?

“Why did the Pill Sovereign’s primal chaos bead appear in the mortal world’s Jiuli secret realm? Furthermore, I just happen to have the Jiuli bloodline? Is that really a coincidence?”

Countless questions swirled about in Long Chen’s mind. With all his might, he tried to recall his memories, seeking any clue that might reveal his true identity. Was he, like Yu Qingxuan, reincarnated with a mission?

Long Chen’s thoughts were in chaos. He felt lost in darkness, unable to see even a trace of light.

“Great nine star heir, you’ve awakened the eighth volume of the Nirvana Scripture and the Eight Star Battle Armor. You are strong enough. Come to the Endless Desolation. You cannot wait any longer, or it really will be too late.”

Just then, the ancient and familiar voice rang out in Long Chen’s mind once more.
