Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 6237 Brazen Idea

“Wutian, why didn’t you fight them? That was an incredibly rare opportunity! You have a Divine Sovereign magical item. Don’t tell me you really can’t beat them?” Kun Wufa shouted in frustration as he was dragged away by Kun Wutian like a stray dog.

In Kun Wufa’s eyes, Long Chen was already half-crippled, and that woman Meng Qi didn’t seem particularly strong. The only real threat was the Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow.

With the Kunpeng race’s Divine Sovereign magical item in hand, Kun Wutian had chosen to retreat—it was incomprehensible. Even if he couldn’t overpower the Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow, shouldn’t he at least have been able to take down Long Chen and seize the Earth Cauldron?

“That Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow’s bloodline has fully erupted,” Kun Wutian replied firmly. “I felt a clear suppression and weakening of my own strength. Even with a Divine Sovereign magical item, I can’t guarantee I would be able to beat her. And you’re already injured. If I fought her at full strength, you would die at the hands of Long Chen’s woman.”

“Suppressed and weakened? Impossible! Even with the Vermilion Bird’s legacy, without time to fully integrate it, there’s no way she could merge with that bloodline so quickly!” Kun Wufa exclaimed.

That Primal Chaos Vermilion Bird possessed the bloodline of the Sparrow Ancestor, which was comparable to the bloodline of the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign. That bloodline was capable of suppressing all divine birds.

“I don’t know, but I truly felt it. It was a very clear suppression. I cannot throw away your life for the chance of seizing a treasure,” said Kun Wutian.

“Fuck, that really pisses me off! It’s all Long Biluo’s fault! She acted so strong, but she couldn’t even deal with Long Chen!” Kun Wufa shouted, gnashing his teeth. He had counted on her strength to secure this legacy.

Thinking of how she had acted so badass only to be beaten so badly, Kun Wufa instantly got angry. If she didn’t have any power, what was she acting so badass for?

Seeing his big brother like this, Kun Wutian simply shook his head.

Kun Wutian said, “You can’t blame Long Biluo either. When her faction paid us a visit, we exchanged blows. Although we ended up drawing, I feel like she was holding back. Her true power should be slightly greater than mine.

“Brother, forget about Long Chen for now. The heaven region’s battlefield is full of opportunities, and we shouldn’t get fixated on this one. Our Kunpeng ancestors’ legacies are here—we must secure them. Other than that, Long Chen has already made enemies of everyone. Plenty of people are targeting him and wanting to seize his Earth Cauldron. That’s enough to give him a headache.”

“Alright, I’ll ignore them for now. Once we obtain our own legacies, we’ll kill them. The Primal Chaos Vermilion Bird’s legacy will be mine!” said Kun Wufa.

After that, the two of them quickly vanished.

...

Deep within a mountain range blanketed in dense forest, Long Chen found a secluded spot.

“Long Chen, the enemies are gone. Give me some time—I’m going to devour the Eight Desolation Devil Subduing Spear,” Evilmoon chuckled. “Hehe, I didn’t burn much core energy in that fight, so I can still consume it. But it’ll take a while, so be patient. Once I’m done, I’ll carry you.”

Without waiting for a response, it ran into Long Chen’s spiritual space and went into seclusion.

“Long Chen, you should focus on recovering!” said Meng Qi, rubbing Long Chen’s slightly pale face.

“But I’m not willing!” said Long Chen, conflicted.

“Why is that?” asked Meng Qi.

“Because then I won’t be able to look at you,” he said with a smile.

Meng Qi’s cheeks flushed crimson. “All you do is run your mouth! Heal first! Cloud and I will guard you.”

“Meng Qi, you’re beautiful,” he said with quiet sincerity.

Seeing her scolding expression only made her seem more radiant to him. She was truly a beauty even a master painter couldn’t capture.

“Tch, keep talking and I’ll beat you. Hurry up and heal!” she said with mock anger, her tone half-laughter.

Long Chen chuckled, then closed his eyes. In his Dantian, the starry sea started to circulate.

His battle with Long Biluo had exposed his weaknesses. His astral energy was nearly limitless, but his physical body was still too weak to fully contain it. If his body were stronger, he wouldn’t even need that much energy. He could have simply opened the seventh gate and crushed Long Biluo outright.

The second flaw was that the starry sea in his Dantian still held too little energy. The more astral energy he called forth, the faster his reserves drained. Drawing power from the nine heavens consumed even more of his own starry sea’s energy.

At one gate, the consumption was negligible. But at six gates, the summoned astral energy was immense, and so was the drain—roughly ten times what he spent from his own reserves. Worse, the astral energy beyond the sixth gate was violently wild.

Controlling it took a great deal of his own astral energy. If he didn’t use this much power to control it, it would run rampant and injure himself.

These two shortcomings had to be resolved. If just one Long Biluo could push him to this point, what would happen if he faced more enemies like her?𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

After all, who knew how many monsters like Long Biluo existed within the heaven region’s battlefield?

First, he used the primal chaos space’s energy to heal. His body had been driven to its limit, but such battles were the best forge for growth.

Healing his body was quick, only taking him six hours.

Then, he summoned his divine ring and started drawing the gentle starlight of the heavens to nourish his starry sea.

When the outside world’s starlight shone on his body, a gentle astral energy flowed into him like a stream from a calm lake. Long Chen was immersed within it, his body like a bridge connecting the two.

As long as the astral gates remained closed, the astral energy was gentle and easily controllable. As it flowed into his Dantian, the stars in his Dantian gradually shone brightly once again.

Then, a daring idea struck him.

“What if I use the energy from the astral gates to replenish my starry sea? ...The question is, can my body endure it?”

Gritting his teeth, Long Chen began to slowly form hand seals.
