Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5695 Nine Veins Merged Into One

Guo Ran had been fighting defensively the entire time against his opponent. It was as if he didn’t even have the power to counterattack against this leader of the demon race.

It was the same as when Bai Xiaole fought him. After a while, the demon leader’s guts grew, and he began to focus entirely on offense.

But the moment that Guo Ran summoned his complete battle armor and his aura erupted, the demon leader was instantly killed without being able to do anything.

This was all according to the plan. Other than the Violet Pupil Nine Tail Fox’s battlefield, everyone else was just fighting to stall.

Experts like Fantian De had long since noticed some clues. They had intentionally left this chance to the demon race because they wanted the demon race to test out the Dragonblood Legion’s true power.

However, the power difference was too great. There were several times when they almost lost patience and directly attacked. They only paused because Hou Tianwu had summoned his father’s power.

Now that Hou Tianwu was slain, Fantian De didn’t have the patience to keep watching. He could see that the demon race was unable to probe the Dragonblood Legion’s true power.

Long Chen was inside the dragon scale space alone. Who knew what he was up to? Just watching was no solution. They had to apply some pressure to Long Chen. It would be best if they could kill some of the Dragonblood Legion’s people and bait him out.

BOOM!

On that side, Guo Ran killed his opponent. At the same time, Gu Yang’s dragon blood power ignited, and his spear pierced forward.

Xiang Tu dodged to the side, only to find that he had strangely been pierced through the abdomen. His body was paralyzed. He stared in disbelief.

“Fool. I used this move three times. Every time, you used the same movement art to dodge. This time, you did it again. It’s not that I’m strong, it’s just that you’re stupid,” said Gu Yang.

BOOM!

Gu Yang’s spear quivered, and his dragon power erupted. Xiang Tu’s body blew apart.

Li Qi’s fist struck out. He simply and violently blew apart his opponent’s head. His opponent’s headless body slowly collapsed.

Three of the demon race’s leaders were instantly killed. The one fighting Song Mingyuan was terrified and hastily chose to flee.

Just as he fled, a hand rose out of the earth and caught his leg. Horrified, he tried to struggle, only to feel an irresistible force send him flying.

He tumbled through the air, ultimately ending in front of Gu Yang. Gu Yang was ready, and his spear pierced his head, instantly killing him.

All five leaders of the demon race were killed. Just now, they had been fighting happily, but they were killed with the snap of a finger, shocking everyone.

At this time, the Dragonblood Legion and the Hidden Dragon Legion also started going all-out. Sword Qi sliced through the air, and the demon experts attacking them were quickly wiped out.

The Northern Alliance and the Southern Alliance’s people’s jaws dropped. Before this, there were several times when they had been about to interfere more due to how dangerous the Dragonblood Legion’s plight looked to be. Only now did they realize that it was an act.

The demon race’s experts were annihilated. Only the ones at the rear were fortunate enough to survive. It was only because they were weak that they weren’t part of the first line. Thus, they survived.

Seeing all the elites and their leaders be killed, those demon experts hastily fled for their lives. In a few breaths’ time, they were gone.

The Dragonblood Legion’s display stunned everyone, except for Fantian De, who didn’t seem at all surprised. It was as if this was all within his expectations.

“You deal with that woman. Be careful,” ordered Fantian De. A short man beside him immediately stepped forward. But with that single step, he instantly appeared in front of Bai Shishi. His speed was absolutely astonishing.

Bai Shishi had already recalled her golden goddess. This state was simply too exhausting. Other than that, this state was best used against giant opponents. Against human opponents, such a giant form wasn’t very suitable. Against an agile opponent, no matter how strong the attack, if it couldn’t hit them, it would be meaningless. She would just be exhausting herself for nothing.

The moment this short man appeared, a golden sword pierced towards Bai Shishi’s throat like a viper.

This man was a whole head shorter than an average man. His skin was dark, and his eyes were icy. He immediately started with a ruthless killing blow.

Bai Shishi’s golden sword also appeared. When both their weapons clashed, they emitted a strange sound. Both Bai Shishi and that man shook, and then retreated several steps.

Bai Shishi’s expression changed slightly. This man’s sword was odd. It looked like it contained metal energy, but it was wrapped in a powerful divine energy that made her unable to absorb any of it.

Clearly, the other side had specifically sent this man just to counter her ability.

In this exchange, neither of them gained any advantage. The two shouted and summoned the power of their heaven veins.

When that happened, startled cries rang out. That man’s nine heaven veins were actually lined up into a perfect circle.

“Nine veins merged into one?! He’s a half-step Human Emperor?!”

“How can he dare to do such a thing? One slip in his control, and it will bring forth heavenly tribulation! He’ll end up advancing by accident!” 

It had to be known that they were all in the Heaven Vein Mystic Realm to condense heaven vein dragon qi. With their realms advancing so quickly, control was definitely an issue.

By bringing all nine veins together, if a person did not have absolute control over their power, they would instantly break through to the Human Emperor realm. But this man had still chosen to do this.

When he summoned his nine veins in one, he emitted a terrifying pressure. He instantly showed the gap between him and others.

Bai Shishi had appeared unstoppable when fighting Hou Tianwu before, but now, she actually seemed like she was being suppressed.

“The difference between nine separate veins and nine veins in one is clear.” The Southern Alliance’s Su Yu’s heart sank when she saw this.

“Most importantly, this man possesses a powerful divine energy. He is no ordinary half-step Human Emperor,” said a man beside her.

This speaker was the leader of the Northern Alliance. His name was Xu Zheng. He was an extremely straightforward person.

Last time, Long Chen had given them a special opportunity, letting every single one of them comprehend at least one Jiuli divine rune. In order to avoid other people’s jealousy, they had immediately ran off.

Only later did they realize that these Jiuli divine runes allowed them to make continuous breakthroughs. This opportunity became the crux around which they condensed core veins. Only then did they realize that Long Chen had not simply given them some runes, he had given them a chance to defy the heavens and change their fates.

Currently, the entire Northern Alliance had managed to condense core veins. Although the majority only had one or two, compared to ordinary nine-vein Heaven Saints, they were greatly satisfied with their power.

There were one hundred and twenty-seven of them who managed to condense nine core veins. At that time, Xu Zheng had felt grand, and actually thought that the Northern Alliance was about to rise into the ranks of the top experts here.

When he sensed the aura of the Emperor reverse scale, he immediately led everyone over. At first, he felt excellent. Relying on their powerful lineup, they managed to scare off quite a few factions.

However, the further he went, the more his heart sank. They finally saw what it meant for there to be countless experts. They ultimately found a somewhat safe place for them to stop and cultivate.

Later, the Dragonblood Legion appeared. Knowing that Long Chen had come, their hot blood ignited. What they had right now was all thanks to Long Chen. If Long Chen was in trouble, then they would support him even if they had to die.

Thus, when the Dragonblood Legion started fighting, they immediately occupied a nearby land to prevent others from attacking through there. It was rather subtle, and others thought that they were just taking advantage of the fighting to absorb some energy here.

What Su Zheng hadn’t expected was for Su Yu to lead the Southern Alliance’s experts over as well. When he asked, he learned that they had also benefited from Long C hen’s favor, and had come to assist him with the same determination.

However, Su Yu’s group couldn’t compare to the Northern Alliance. Including Su Yu, there were only seven of them who managed to condense nine core veins.

The majority of her group was only ordinary nine-vein Heaven Saints. When she saw Xu Zheng’s group, she was stunned. Just when had the Northern Alliance become so monstrous?

When she asked, she learned that they had only grown this strong thanks to Long Chen’s help. There was nothing to say about it. They could only provide as much help to Long Chen as they could.

Just then, Bai Shishi and that man started an intense exchange of blows. Their swords repeatedly clashed, emitting ear-piercing explosive sounds.

This was a true clash at the peak. Compared to this battle, the fights of the leaders of the demon race were like child’s play.

Sword Qi repeatedly ripped through the void, leaving scars. Every streak of Sword Qi sliced through the void. It was possible to see Grand Dao runes being sliced apart. Countless experts felt a chill as they saw this.

“How strong!” Su Yu clenched her fists, her heart cold. A battle on this level was something she couldn’t interfere in no matter how much she wanted to. All she could do was silently pray for Bai Shishi.

Bai Shishi’s aura was clearly weaker than that man’s. However, her attacks were still sharp and fierce. She didn’t seem at all to be a disadvantage. This kind of powerful opponent was just what she was looking for.

Both of them fought intensely, neither side willing to give an inch. But an incense stick’s worth of time passed without either gaining an advantage. Neither of their auras were weakening.

Fantian De gradually started to get impatient. He finally shouted, “If you don’t kill that woman in ten moves, you can die as well!”

That man clenched his teeth upon hearing that. “Divine energy ignite, heaven veins return!”

His heaven veins instantly ignited, unleashing streams of lava that poured into his body.

BOOM!

An explosive sound rang out as that man’s aura erupted to a new level. His sword ignited as well. With a roar, he stabbed his sword at Bai Shishi. He had already entered a berserk state.
