Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 6220 Meng Qi Appears

Just as one person and one bird charged into the innate bead, another figure silently appeared beside the Eight Desolation Devil Subduing Spear. Everyone was stunned—was this an open declaration of war?

Inside the innate bead stood a long-haired woman of such breathtaking beauty she seemed carved from divine jade. Her presence was otherworldly, almost unreal.

Though Long Biluo was also a stunning woman, the moment this newcomer appeared, her radiance was eclipsed. Compared to this ethereal figure, even Long Biluo seemed dull and ordinary.

This woman was like a transcendent fairy, noble and holy. Her eyes were so pure it felt like they could wash away all the impurities of the world.

In the immortal world, women of noble bearing were often called fairies. But in that instant, everyone realized what a true fairy looked like.

She stood atop a rainbow divine sparrow, with Sovereign flames flowing around them. Another five-hundred-flame divine sprout had appeared.

Countless experts turned toward Yun Wu in surprise—the divine sparrow's aura was nearly identical to hers. It was another member of the Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow race.

However, Yun Wu didn’t seem happy to see this newcomer. In fact, she looked angry.

This woman and the new Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow had used their Spiritual Strength to construct a channel straight through the barriers and into the innate bead.

As soon as they landed inside, both turned simultaneously toward the Eight Desolation Devil Subduing Spear—shock flashing in their eyes.

A black-robed man stood beside the spear, watching them quietly. A rare warm smile tugged at his mischievous lips, and his eyes brimmed with emotion.

These two new arrivals were Meng Qi and Cloud.

Meng Qi was now incredibly powerful. As her Spiritual Strength stemmed from a sliver of Long Chen’s soul, they should have sensed each other easily. However, her ability to conceal her aura had grown so profound that Long Chen had barely sensed a familiar fluctuation.

As for Long Chen, he had also cloaked himself, using Huo Linger’s spiritual aura to cover his own. That was why neither had detected the other, despite being in such proximity.

If it weren’t for Meng Qi and Cloud suddenly taking action, Long Chen wouldn’t have even known they were here.

Seeing that Long Biluo was about to turn on the two of them, Long Chen naturally wouldn’t keep waiting. He directly showed himself and drew her attention.

Meng Qi had a thousand things to say, but she couldn’t say a single one of them at this moment. Her eyes were already misty with tears.

Cloud was also incredibly excited to see Long Chen. She had the urge to charge out of the innate bead just to go to him.

“Long Chen! That’s Long Chen!”

Gasps rang out. All the experts of the nine heavens and the other world were stunned.

They had all witnessed Long Chen ascend through nine levels and reach the scales. His fame preceded him.

However, their shock quickly turned into greed. After all, they knew the Earth Cauldron was in his hands.

Long Biluo’s expression twisted with anger at first, but quickly changed to a smile.

Long Biluo declared, “Long Chen... you hold a priceless treasure and dared to show yourself? I was going to hunt you down, and now you’ve come right to me. Back then, you left my branch beaten and scattered. Today’s a good day to settle those old debts.”

“Old debts?” Long Chen’s expression darkened. “You guys imprisoned and tortured my father, extracting his Supreme Blood. If it weren’t for my father stopping me, I would’ve wiped your entire branch off the map. I let it go—for his sake. I didn’t go find trouble for you guys, but you dare bring it up?”

As Long Chen recalled the miserable state of his father back then, his fury surged.

“The rights and wrongs of the past have nothing to do with me,” Long Biluo snorted. “All I know is, for my branch’s honor, I must bring you to justice.”

“Justice? Hah—!” Long Chen laughed as if he had just heard the world’s funniest joke.

BOOM!

Just then, an explosive sound rang out, and a wretched figure came flying out of the innate bead.

Again... it was Kun Wufa.

He had been in the middle of subduing the Primal Chaos Vermilion Bird’s will. But now, he was covered in blood, and his aura was in disarray.

He furiously cursed, “You damn slut, how dare you ruin things for me?!”

Just moments earlier, Cloud had attacked him mid-battle. Kun Wufa had already been struggling, so her strike shattered what little advantage he had.

Suddenly, the rampaging Vermilion Bird within the bead stopped moving. Its massive body hovered in place, not attacking Meng Qi or Cloud.

Meng Qi stood atop Cloud’s head, with her eyes closed. As she formed a series of hand seals, majestic Spiritual Strength enveloped them. She seemed to be communicating with the Primal Chaos Vermilion Bird’s manifestation.

Everyone was stunned to see that.

Could it be... that the legacy wasn’t obtained through brute force? Was there another way?

“Slut, get out of here!” Kun Wufa howled, hurtling back toward the bead.

He had to obtain the Vermilion Bird’s legacy—he couldn’t let anyone else touch it. But as he neared the bead, the void rippled.

Pow!

A phantom hand emerged from the void and viciously slapped his face. Kun Wufa spun mid-air and was sent flying again.

“The legendary divine face-slapping art!”

The crisp slap echoed like a gong, causing all the experts of the nine heavens to tremble.

This was irrefutable proof—this had to be the real Long Chen. No one else could pull that off.

Many had imitated Long Chen’s style, but there was one ultimate test to see whether it was the real deal or not—the divine face-slapping art. Legend said it had a 100% hit rate. No matter what kind of expert Long Chen faced, as long as he wanted to slap them, they wouldn’t be able to dodge.

Now, that myth had become reality.

As Kun Wufa crashed into the ground, Long Chen’s figure slowly emerged from the void. On the other hand, the image beside the Eight Desolation Devil Subduing Spear faded. It was just an afterimage.

“What speed!”

First, Long Biluo had barehandedly killed multiple experts. Now, without even summoning his manifestation or Sovereign flames, Long Chen had slapped a five-hundred-flame expert out of the sky.

Everyone looked from Long Chen to Long Biluo.

A chill ran through their bodies.

These two weren’t geniuses. They were monsters.
