Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 6205 Fight Against Karmic Luck

“It’s the chains of order!”

“They must be composed of the heaven region’s battlefield power. They’re backed by this world’s karmic luck energy! How is anyone supposed to break through that?!”

“Can a single person truly resist the will of an entire world?”

Countless runes flowed across the massive chains, glowing brighter by the second—from translucent to radiant gold.

It was a giant net hanging in the sky, like a heavenly curtain sealing the path forward. In its presence, even the mightiest cultivator seemed as small as an ant.

Most frightening of all, this giant net possessed its own laws. Either it was shattered—or the one who touched it died. There was no third path.

Anyone who approached this net with even the slightest fear in their heart would instantly collapse beneath it. This net had blocked the path of an unknown number of peerless heavenly geniuses over the ages.

The other world’s experts were familiar with this net, as many of them had challenged the scales in the past. Unlike the experts of the nine heavens, they challenged the scales because they refused to admit their inferiority.

After all, in the annals of history, the only five people to ever reach the peak of the scales all came from the nine heavens. The other world had never succeeded once.

Despite ruling the heaven region’s battlefield for eons, the fact that they had never ascended the scales left a shadow in their hearts.

Too many had failed here. Those who challenged the net either died, or had their Dao-hearts shattered. Those with broken Dao-hearts never recovered, and their cultivation would forever stagnate.

As the net reappeared, complicated emotions surged in the hearts of the otherworldly experts. It was like a blade of karma that had cut down the futures of many geniuses.

The other world had countless experts and monsters. However, their ancestors had forbidden them from challenging the scales. In fact, some of them made their children swear blood oaths to never attempt it.

With the net appearing above them, these otherworldly experts felt a wave of resentment. They also wanted to challenge it, but their elders’ rules forbade them.

As Long Chen got closer to the net, the pressure from it grew. It was as if the weight of an entire world was bearing down upon him.

“Karmic luck energy? Then I’ll use dragon qi—let’s see which one wins!” Long Chen shouted, his voice resounding through the world.

His dragon blood power erupted.

Long Chen’s footsteps were firm, and his gaze was sharp—he believed in himself. There was nothing that could stop his footsteps at this moment, not even death.

A divine ring bloomed behind him. Within it, a giant dragon image roared to life, burning with majestic violet dragon qi. Long Chen raised his hand, and a blood-red cross appeared in his palm.

“Sovereign Blood Seal!”

A thunderous dragon cry shattered the silence. The dragon within Long Chen’s divine ring broke free of its restraints and soared above him.

The colossal dragon flew in the sky, its presence shaking the heavens. It was so immense it felt like it would crush the world beneath it.

Across the battlefield and in the passageways, dragon experts felt their blood surge. Even the Domain Protector and the ancient patriarchs of the Dragon Domain stared in awe.

“Isn’t that… the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign?!”

BOOM!

Long Chen’s palm slammed into the net. The latter shuddered, but didn’t explode.

“Not good!”

The hearts of the Dragon Domain’s experts and countless nine heavens cultivators sank in unison.

If Long Chen couldn’t break it, the net would crush him beneath its karmic might. This was the weight of a world’s karmic laws. Even a Divine Sovereign couldn’t endure it.

However, just then, the net started to shake, and the dragon image behind Long Chen flew through the air. It was as if Long Chen were the bridge between two competing powers.

“Long Chen hasn’t lost yet!” shouted the Domain Protector.

“If that’s truly the Dragon Sovereign’s will behind him… then he’s carrying the karmic luck of the dragon race! That net doesn’t stand a chance!” one of the dragon elders declared.

But another elder said, “If Lord Long Chen hadn’t destroyed the…”

He abruptly stopped himself from talking further.

Everyone’s expressions changed.

It was true. Long Chen had crushed the Sovereign King Crown and returned the dragon race’s karmic luck. But without that crown to guide it, how much help could the Dragon Sovereign’s discarnate will offer?

Still, Long Chen’s gaze remained unwavering.

“Karmic luck?” he roared. “From the mortal world to the immortal world, I, Long Chen, have never survived by relying on fate! I’ve carved my path through blood and bone! I don’t believe in karmic luck; I only believe in absolute power! Now—BREAK!”

The next moment, Long Chen clenched his hand, and violet qi exploded out of the scales covering his arm.

Under his grip, the golden net started to warp.

Everyone watching held their breath.

“That net isn’t meant to kill,” that ancient voice echoed once more. “Its purpose is to test the Dao-heart. If Long Chen had even the slightest doubt in his heart, it would be over. But if he faces the heavens without fear…

“To stand unshaken beneath the pressure of a world? To face death without even a flicker in the heart? What kind of will does that take?”

And then—

BOOM!

The golden net tore apart, exploding into a shower of radiant runes.

Long Chen’s divine ring immediately transformed into a giant whirlpool sucking in that golden rain.

“That’s…!”

“That golden rain contains the karmic luck laws of the heaven region’s battlefield! He absorbed it all!”

“As expected, fortune is found in danger! Having absorbed that many karmic luck runes, Long Chen has benefited immensely!”

The power of karmic luck… was difficult to explain. It was something intangible yet undeniably real.

“After absorbing those runes,” that ancient voice said solemnly, “even if the scales fall and all others are expelled, Long Chen alone can remain here to look for treasures. He is no longer bound by the battlefield’s laws.”

The Dragon Domain’s experts were stunned.

“That means… he no longer needs to risk himself and climb higher!” a dragon expert shouted.

If they were in Long Chen’s position, then the wisest thing to do would be to stop here.

However, from the viewpoint of the nine heavens, they needed him to keep going. They needed the small chance of turning the tables.

Still, they knew it wasn’t reasonable to ask a person to take such a huge risk for them.

Just then, the space beneath the scales rumbled. The divine light flared even brighter.

“Long Chen’s still climbing!”

He ascended like a blazing sun—like a Kunpeng tearing through the heavens, defying all limits.

And then—another barrier appeared before the golden scales.

This time, it wasn’t a wall or net.

It was a divine diagram.

Long Chen’s pupils shrank when he saw this diagram.

“The Ten Worlds Diagram!”
