Chapter 6261 Unmatched Star Cloud Steps
Long Chen appeared directly before the red-haired man and slammed his foot down.
The red-haired man was startled. Forming a seal with one hand, he exuded a massive amount of devil qi. He was about to teleport away.
But the moment he moved, Long Chen’s foot was already in front of his face.
From the very start, Long Chen hadn’t intended to strike blindly. After all, the red-haired man had been constantly weaving seals and chanting, clearly preparing something sinister.
Seeing that Huo Linger could handle her opponent, Long Chen went straight for the source of trouble. His instincts screamed that this man was dangerous—he couldn’t let this man continue wreaking havoc.
BOOM!
The red-haired man blocked the kick with his arm. His sleeve burst apart, and he was blown away.
At this sight, Long Chen’s brows rose. His kick had carried condensed astral power—enough to overwhelm even someone with eight hundred Sovereign flames. Blocking it barehanded should have been impossible.
But as the man steadied himself, Long Chen noticed a concealed arm bracer beneath the torn sleeve.
Sovereign qi gushed out of that arm bracer, a sign that it was an extremely powerful weapon. No wonder he had managed to endure the blow.
Just then, the battlefield itself started to quake. Long Chen’s expression darkened as he saw the corpses littering the ground tremble unnaturally. Beneath the earth, a few buried lifeforms were starting to move.
“Damn, this fellow has prepared something big! He’s trying to awaken all the discarnate devil souls!” Long Chen shouted.
If this fellow succeeded, the battle would be lost.
Long Chen’s face turned cold.
I must stop him!
The other-world devil race had entrenched themselves in this battlefield for countless years, turning it into their backyard. They possessed methods unimaginable to the experts of the nine heavens.
On her side, Huo Linger unleashed surging waves of fire against her devil heroic spirit, holding her ground with fierce might.
Seeing this, Long Chen inhaled deeply. It seemed he could now go all out.
The stars around him spun wildly, and clouds formed beneath his feet. With a single step, he vanished.
“How fast!”
The red-haired man’s pupils shrank. The moment Long Chen disappeared, he also vanished from the red-haired man’s senses.
In response, the red-haired man conjured over eight hundred Sovereign flames around him, forming a flaming wall. But it was useless.
BOOM!
A fist covered in stars pierced right through the red-haired man’s defenses and struck his chest.
Blood sprayed from his mouth, and he went flying across the earth.
“Star Cloud Steps!” Long Chen roared as star clouds surged beneath his feet. In a flash, he vanished and then reappeared behind the red-haired man.
The man’s eyes widened in disbelief. His bracer flared with dazzling runes as he instinctively raised it to block.
CRASH!
Long Chen’s kick slammed into the bracer, and a metallic clang rang across the battlefield. The red-haired man grunted as he went flying.
But Long Chen was already gone. His figure flickered high above, waiting. As the man was launched upward, a foot cloaked in astral energy came crashing down.
BOOM!
The red-haired man smashed into the ground like a meteorite, causing the entire battlefield to shudder. A powerful qi wave sent the surrounding experts flying.
The Star Cloud Steps was a movement technique Long Chen had copied from a nine star heir. However, he hadn’t been able to break through the entry level of the technique.
So, while it enhanced his speed, it never rose to the level he desired.
The technique’s foundation lay in absolute mastery over astral energy. When the star diagram resided in the heart, it could project outward across the heavens. Then, with a single thought, the user could reach any point within the diagram in a single step.
The star diagram was the projection of Long Chen’s astral energy into the world—an invisible web of nodes scattered around him. By resonating with one of these nodes, he could step across space in an instant. In theory, it allowed him to traverse the nine heavens and even step beyond the world.
But theory was far easier than practice. The projection worked best close by, and extending it over long distances would make the technique unstable. Long Chen could scatter his energy for thousands of miles, but the more nodes he set, the harder they were to control.
For example, if he set up only a single node, then even with his eyes closed, he could reach there. But if there were ten nodes, he would need to put in more effort. Long Chen’s previous limit was a hundred nodes, and he had never pushed himself that far.
Moreover, on such a vast battlefield, a mere hundred nodes were far from sufficient. To be effective, he would have needed to set them above, below, left, right, front, and back—yet there was no guarantee his enemy would coincidentally end up standing beside one of those hundred nodes.
Thus, while Long Chen had grasped the principle of the Star Cloud Steps, he couldn’t use it effectively. Otherwise, a single miscalculation would send him hundreds of miles away from the fight, making him a laughingstock.
Now, however, things were different. With the awakening of his Supreme Bone, his astral energy spread across the entire battlefield. In this region, Long Chen could appear wherever he wished—faster even than teleporting within a domain.
However, casting his astral energy over such a wide area was draining. He couldn’t hold it for long and had to finish the battle quickly.
“Four Stars, Devil Prison!” shouted Long Chen.
As Long Chen formed a series of hand seals, four astral pillars descended from the heavens, stabbing into the ground around the red-haired man.
The four astral pillars rapidly shrank. The red-haired man’s body was crushed into a bloody mess, yet he still tried to force his way out.
The red-haired man roared. While his bones cracked under the pressure, his left hand continued weaving seals.
At this sight, Long Chen snorted coldly, changing his hand seals. His Supreme Bone blazed as he poured even more astral energy into the prison. If this man continued insisting on finishing his seal now, he would be crushed beyond recognition.
But then, a black spear pierced through the void, thrusting toward Long Chen’s back with terrifying Sovereign might.
“A Divine Sovereign magical item?”
Long Chen’s expression changed slightly.
While he didn’t fear Divine Sovereign magical items, he was concentrating his power on the red-haired man. If he blocked this attack, the red-haired man would escape.
And as if to compound the danger, a blood-colored demon saber suddenly slashed in from another direction, wreathed in demonic light. It was another Divine Sovereign magical item.
With two Sovereign divine weapons attacking simultaneously, Long Chen was forced to abandon his assault. In a flash, his figure blurred as he dodged both strikes.
That opening was enough.
The red-haired man staggered free, howling, “You bastards, you’re finally here! Quick, kill him—!”
BOOM!
Before he could finish, Ming Yu burst from her confinement. Her sword blazed like a flying rainbow, slicing through the air.
Her strike landed cleanly, severing the red-haired man’s left hand and blasting it apart in a spray of blood.
