Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 6603 Five Sovereigns Appear in Heavenly Tribulation

“Those are Yin Soldiers!”

Terrified screams broke out as the figures emerged. They were warriors in shattered armor and rusted weapons, their bodies exuding a chilling death aura.

Other than the Dragonblood Legion, almost no one else undergoing this tribulation had ever seen a Ghost Ship, let alone the legendary Yin Soldiers.

But at this moment, a massive army of Yin Soldiers was rushing toward them. The terrifying aura of death made them shudder.

However, what truly froze their blood was the curse energy coiling around each one like a venomous serpent. Even those undergoing tribulation didn’t dare draw near.

The Dragonblood Legion stepped forward, forming a line in front of them. But even before they could do anything, Green Old Sixth had taken some action.

The six orbs of light behind it transformed into six heavenly swords that slashed towards the.

Instantly, countless Yin Soldiers were slashed apart. Even the giant Ghost Ships were destroyed.

A sticky black liquid appeared in the sky. It was like bone maggots sticking to the six swords. An ear-piercing sound rang out from them.

“What terrifying curse energy...!” Xia Chen and the others’ expressions changed. They didn’t fear these Yin Soldiers. However, this kind of curse energy was difficult to deal with.

Once touched by this curse energy, even their sacred dragon qi wouldn’t last for long. They wouldn’t be able to fight.

“Six Daos Reverse! Blood Refines All Life!”

Green Old Sixth shouted, and the six swords danced. The curse energy was incinerated.

As the curse energy burst apart, it transformed into a surging flame that even ignited the sea of lightning. A figure slowly appeared within the lightning.

It was a figure composed entirely of black qi. It was blurry and resembled a tall man standing in the sky with his hands clasped behind his back.

“Who is that?!”

Startled cries rang out. More and more curse energy poured toward this tall man. The Yin Soldiers and Ghost Ships were blown apart, but their power actually converged into this figure.

This figure seemed to be a king overlooking his land. He stood in front of the Dark Master. Curse energy and dark energy flowed into him.

“That’s...”

Outside the heaven region’s battlefield, standing atop a mountain with a spatial crack in front of it, Ye Boran’s pupils suddenly shrank.

Naturally, something as huge as Long Chen’s tribulation had drawn the attention of the four divine clans. They had already gathered in front of one of the spatial cracks to watch.

Practically, the full might of the divine clans was gathered here, all to see just what on earth Long Chen was thinking.

“Patriarch, who is that?” Long Biluo asked, standing behind Ye Boran.

She was already a Sovereign Lord. However, her aura was covered by some strange energy that made it so that others could not tell just what level she was.

Thankfully, after going through that life-and-death battle, Long Biluo’s arrogance had been tempered. She had matured a great deal overnight.

Her gaze was sharp, like two sharp swords, paying attention to everything happening in the heaven region’s battlefield. Then, she noticed that Ye Boran clearly reacted more to the mysterious figure than anything else.

“Ghost Sovereign.”

This answer was not from Ye Boran but from Long Chen.

The name of the Ghost Sovereign was like a bolt of lightning from a clear sky. After hearing it, countless people froze.

“The Ghost Sovereign?! That legendary existence?!”

The Nether Emperor and the Ghost Sovereign were almighty overlords in the primal chaos era. One was the figure who had unified the Netherworld, the other was the king of the Ghost Dao.

Perhaps the junior generation did not have much of a reaction to the Ghost Sovereign’s name, but amongst the senior generation, the name was enough to make their hearts tremble.

It was said that the Nine Star Master had slain both Sovereigns in the distant era, but their undying bodies meant their factions never truly vanished. The Netherdragon race was merely one branch of the Nether Emperor’s lineage.

On the other hand, the Ghost Sovereign’s faction was extremely mysterious. The world had not gained any new information about it in all these years. As a result, not many people took Long Chen’s words seriously.

“He really is the Ghost Sovereign? If he is the Ghost Sovereign, why is his power merging with the Dark Master?”

“The Dark Master and the Ghost Sovereign aren’t their real bodies,” someone replied. “The tribulation replicated them according to karma.”

“If that’s the Ghost Sovereign, then it means Long Chen has the Ghost Sovereign’s karma on him! This karma will finally be settled in this tribulation.”

“The Heaven Earth Cauldron, the Heavenly Devil Zither, the Dark Master, and the Ghost Sovereign—they have all appeared. If Long Chen doesn’t die here, that would really be ridiculous.”

After a moment of shock, many spectators started to delight in Long Chen’s misfortune. The heavens were truly intent on killing him.

Just then, the heaven region’s battlefield shuddered violently, and the sea of lightning froze. It was no longer extracting energy from all directions.

“Is the tribulation finally at its limit?”

Only now did the heavenly tribulation stop absorbing energy to strengthen itself. In other words, it had finally reached its peak. The true tribulation started now.

The sea of lightning surged. The Heaven Earth Cauldron, the Heavenly Devil Zither, the Dark Master, and the Ghost Sovereign rapidly absorbed the power of the tribulation. Their auras grew stronger and stronger.

“Heavens, their auras, are they not on the level of Divine Sovereigns?!”

“Long Chen, this is no good. You have to stop them now!” Green Old Sixth exclaimed, panicking.

Four huge whirlpools spun as they devoured the lightning. Once they were done, any one of them would be enough to take Long Chen’s life.

However, Long Chen’s expression was still calm. He slowly formed hand seals, causing stars to appear. Soon, the entire world was covered in a starry sky.

Long Chen gazed into the void and softly called, “Big Brother Yun Shang, Big Brother Qing Xu, Big Brother Mo Li, Big Sister Han Wei, Big Brother Zi Yang...”

One figure after another responded to his call. Their figures appeared in the sky, stunning countless people.

“The five Sovereigns of the Martial Heaven Continent...”

The Dragonblood warriors stared at those five figures fervently, their eyes red. They had not expected to see the five Sovereigns here.

The Dragonblood warriors had grown up in the Martial Heaven Continent, hearing legends of the five Sovereigns. After ascending to the immortal world, they never expected to see the five Sovereigns again. It felt like they were reuniting with their lost family.

The five Sovereigns left everyone stunned. Even the Dark Master, Ghost Sovereign, Heavenly Devil Zither, and Heaven Earth Cauldron seemed to grow insignificant in front of the five Sovereigns. The five Sovereigns possessed a certain aura—one that could look down upon gods and devils, yet still cherish the most fragile of lives.

These were the five Sovereigns. No matter what era, they stood at the very peak of the world.

“You really are a vexatious youth. You clearly knew this was not the right time to see us, but you still called us out. You may have just thrown away a tremendous opportunity.”

Sovereign Han Wei gracefully walked over to Long Chen. Her beautiful eyes were gentle and loving, but also contained a hint of rebuke.
