Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5213 Unmatched Eight Star Battle Armor

“Eight Star Battle Armor!”

Long Chen’s voice reverberated across heaven and earth. The dark clouds covering the world were instantly blasted away, revealing a sky filled with twinkling stars. It felt like a starry sky had descended upon them, or perhaps the world had been elevated into the starry sky itself. Both friends and foes stood in stunned silence.

BOOM!

A pillar of light exploded out of Long Chen, shooting into the starry expanse above. The entire sea of stars trembled as if awakened by this radiant beam. The stars began to shine brighter and brighter, their light amplifying Long Chen’s already formidable aura.

Under this starlight, the FengFu Star was the first to react, its light suddenly growing intensely.

Long Chen’s aura surged like a volcanic eruption, and terrifying astral winds whipped around him, instilling fear even in the hearts of half-step Human Emperors.

BOOM!

As the light of the FengFu Star intensified, the Alioth Star followed suit, its light swelling. One by one, the Life Fate Star, Enlightenment Palace Star, Divine Gate Star, Nethergate Star, Violet Tower Star, and finally the Nirvanic Charge Star all blazed with brilliant light. Each star's awakening sent powerful qi waves rippling through the battlefield.

When the Nirvanic Charge Star lit up, the qi wave burst like an unstoppable tide. The astral winds became as sharp as blades, forcing even the three Human Emperors to take a step back.

Their expressions finally changed. Long Chen’s power now rivaled theirs.

After that, all eight stars blazed, the eight-color divine ring suddenly contracted, connecting the stars. They were no longer solitary figures now.

BOOM!

The eight stars and the divine ring fused into a single, unified entity. When they did, another immense qi wave erupted, blasting the three Human Emperors away.

“What?!”

The gathered experts stared at Long Chen in utter disbelief. As his divine ring spun, wave after wave of qi surged out of him, enveloping the battlefield with an aura that seemed to rival that of the celestial emperor himself. Even the might of Human Emperors paled in comparison.

The academy’s disciples, including the Dragonblood warriors, were equally stunned. They had always known that their boss was strong, but not to this extent.

Yu Qingxuan held Bai Shishi, using her own life energy to help Bai Shishi recover. As they stared at Long Chen’s unrivaled posture, their eyes suddenly welled with tears. The feeling of someone going all-out to protect them was indescribable.

They didn’t fear death, but they feared leaving Long Chen behind. And Long Chen, in turn, refused to lose them. Each one of them was precious to him, worth every ounce of his strength and resolve. When they were injured, Long Chen became crazy.

“Haha, Boss is unmatched! Brothers, it looks like we’re not going to die today!” shouted Guo Ran upon seeing Human Emperors be blasted away by Long Chen’s aura. “Xia Chen, hurry up and place the markers! All of them must be killed!”

Xia Chen had been prepared. With a series of hand seals, millions of talismans materialized from the void, embedding themselves within the enemy ranks. Golden dots appeared on each enemy’s body. Before they could react at all, the dots vanished.

As everyone was shocked by Long Chen’s display, a powerful explosion shook the land. A fist covered in stars smashed into a zither.

Long Chen’s first target was the woman from the Zither Sect, and he was so fast that it seemed like he teleported. The woman from the Zither Sect didn’t even have time to take out her zither, simply turning around so that the zither blocked his punch. A discordant and explosive sound then rang out, and the woman spat blood as she was sent flying.

Still in his punching posture, with killing intent flooding out of him, Long Chen said, “Even a wretch like you can use the zither? What a sanctimonious hypocrite! Do you think standing in a high position gives you the right to dictate others’ lives? Qin Keqing was like that, and you are the same. I’ve gotten enough of you hypocrites who want medals for being terrible people. The first academy is on the path of rebirth, and your blood can be the opening curtains to its rise.”

Each of Long Chen's words was delivered with the weight of an imperial edict. His voice was cold, devoid of emotion. At this moment, the eight-colored divine ring quivered, and the eight stars illuminated the world. His unwavering determination echoed in the hearts of everyone who heard him.

“You arrogant brat, die!” shouted the woman. She might have spat out blood from this attack, but the majority of the force had been blocked by her zither, so she wasn’t heavily injured. But as Human Emperor, this was a huge humiliation.

Her manifestation appeared behind her—nine dragons merging into a single heaven vein dragon qi. Her Emperor pressure intensified manifold as she summoned her full power.

“Brat, you only know how to sneak attack! Try and block this!” the woman shouted, her hand sweeping across the strings of her zither. Five strings quivered, sending out a translucent crescent moon fang that sliced through the void toward Long Chen.

Heaven and earth quaked under the weight of this attack. It was a full-force blow from a Human Emperor wielding a Human Emperor divine weapon. The pressure was apocalyptic, threatening to tear the world apart.

When the disciples saw the laws of the Heavenly Daos being constantly destroyed in the void, their souls turned blank as they calmly awaited the end of days to come.

The crescent moon fang hurtled toward Long Chen, its might filling everyone from the academy with dread. However, Long Chen remained unfazed. He simply raised his hand, and an eight star diagram appeared on his palm, identical to his divine ring manifestation.

BOOM!

In front of countless shocked eyes, Long Chen clenched his hand, and the crescent moon fang shattered into fragments.

“What?!”
