Nine Star Hegemon Body Art (WN)
chapter-1940

“Brother Long, I knew that you wouldn’t forget us.”

Those lightning drakes excitedly pounced upon the tribulation beasts. They were the lightning drakes of the lightning field, and the strongest existences below the silver drake king. Back when Long Chen had come to an agreement with the drake king, they had even helped him gain the paragon art.

They had also helped him out immensely in the Yin Yang World. It just so happened that Long Chen could now repay them with this tribulation.

These tribulation beasts contained divine lightning within them. That was the most precious type of energy to these lightning drakes. They crazily devoured them.

Although these tribulation beasts were very powerful, they lacked intelligence. They only charged at Long Chen because Long Chen’s attack just now had provoked the wrath of the heavens, causing the will of the tribulation to turn on him. These tribulation beasts only had one thought, and that was to kill Long Chen.

They ignored the lightning drakes until the lightning drakes had already coiled around them. By then, they would just be devoured easily.

“Lei Long, lend me ninety percent of your energy, and send ten percent to devour the lightning runes.”

After saying that, Long Chen raised Evilmoon. Lightning surged along Evilmoon as he slashed it toward a tribulation beast. The divine power of Lei Long and Evilmoon combined.

The tribulation beast was blown apart into divine lightning runes and then devoured by Lei Long. Before Lei Long was even finished devouring those runes, Long Chen had moved onto the second. With Lei Long and Evilmoon working together, it was easy for them to kill the tribulation beasts.

“Brothers, hurry up. Time’s almost up.” Long Chen saw that the tribulation clouds were growing sparse. By this time, any further attacks against them would be useless. He had exhausted all the power of this tribulation.

If it was just one person undergoing tribulation, then there would have been little chance for even the five-colored tribulation lightning to appear. The reason the tribulation had so much energy was because there were over ten thousand Dragonblood warriors undergoing tribulation together.

All the energy had now been forced out by Long Chen, and the energy of the heavens was fading. It could not punish Long Chen.

The lightning drakes frantically devoured as much as they could. Sometimes, the tribulation beasts would be half-devoured and still charge toward Long Chen while the lightning drakes moved on. It was easy for Long Chen to kill those stragglers.

Only half of the tribulation beasts had been slain, but the tribulation was already starting to fade. The tribulation beasts began to return to heaven and earth.

Suddenly, a silver claw stretched out of the channel, and a silver ripple spread, blowing apart those tribulation beasts.

A large mouth then came out of the channel and devoured those lightning runes. The silver drake king had come.

“Long Chen, how could you not call me!” The silver drake had attacked through the channel and taken the lightning runes. The channel that Long Chen had made this time was too small to fit it through though.

“What the, why did you come?” Long Chen was startled.

“Long Chen, you had best give me an explanation!” raged the silver drake king. It was speaking spiritually, so others couldn’t hear.

“How could I possibly call you over something so tiny? This kind of snack shouldn’t interest you. That’s why I only invited your little brothers, and I’ll invite you for the real feast later. Didn’t you notice that this isn’t even my own tribulation, it’s the tribulation of my brothers. Only once I break through will there be a real feast. Hehe, to tell the truth, I’m a bit worried that your stomach isn’t big enough,” said Long Chen.

“Are you telling the truth?” questioned the silver drake king.

“I disdain lying.” Long Chen frowned.

“Cough, then it was my mistake. Now it’s a bit awkward,” said the silver drake.

“It really is a bit awkward. This little bit is barely enough food to get stuck between your teeth, but it’s a good piece of meat to your brothers. As the boss, you can’t be selfish,” said Long Chen.

“Then what do I do?” The silver drake king didn’t know what to do now. It would be a blow if it admitted it was stealing food from its brothers.

“Fine, I’ll help you. However, you have to help me when I need it too.” Long Chen didn’t give the drake king a chance to reply before announcing, “How dangerous! Just now, the divine lightning beasts were about to fade away, but fortunately your king came to capture them in time. Quick, go back. Your dragon king is going to share the divine energy with you. Due to the dragon king attacking, the channel is about to reach its limit. I really envy you for having such a good boss.” Long Chen seemed to sigh emotionally, giving a thumbs-up.

His words were very brilliant. The drakes naturally had no idea if they were true or false. They immediately became grateful to the drake king.

“Many thanks.” The drake king expressed its thanks to Long Chen before leaving as well. His conning ability was unrivaled and had given it face.

The tribulation disappeared and the lightning channel faded. All the energy of the tribulation had been spent, and the Dragonblood Legion’s people had absorbed as much as they could for a perfect advancement.

Quite a few corpses were floating on the surface of the sea now that the tribulation was over. Those corpses belonged to the sea demons that had been near. Due to the Dragonblood Legion’s tribulation descending suddenly, some of the weaker ones hadn’t had time to flee.

“Let’s go.” Long Chen waved his hand, and everyone went over to the spatial channel that Yue Xihan had already summoned.

They returned to the Skyscraping World. All of them were excited enough to shout. Most Life Star experts only had astral spaces around a hundred miles wide at the start. Even rank nine Celestials would only have around three hundred miles.

The astral space contained one’s world energy, but usually those below rank nine Celestials were not qualified to actually use their world energy.

That was why the Dragonblood warriors were able to easily slay Life Star experts while in the Soul Transformation realm. Those Life Star experts were usually only around the level of rank seven or eight Celestials.

Those experts had not managed to catch the great era, and their cultivation bases had reached their limits. So those Life Star experts were not able to compare to today’s heavenly geniuses.

As for the Empyreans who were called heavenly geniuses, their astral spaces would normally be around three thousand miles. Only at that level was it possible to bring out the full potential of the world energy in their astral spaces.

In the Yin Yang World, the army of Life Star Empyreans that had charged over was so powerful because they were able to control a bit of their world energy. However, since they had only recently advanced, they could only control a bit of it. This was why Huo Lieyun was so terrifying in comparison. His realm had already stabilized at the first Heavenstage of Life Star, allowing him to control his world energy. If Long Chen hadn’t obtained the azure dragon reverse scale, he would have been crushed.

No one knew how large Huo Lieyun’s astral space was, but right now, even the weakest healing warrior had reached an astral space of thirty thousand miles.

The Dragonblood warriors had all achieved astral spaces over a hundred thousand miles, with some reaching one hundred and fifty thousand miles. As for Gu Yang and the captains, they had astral spaces three hundred thousand miles wide.

However, one person was so monstrous that their astral space was almost one million miles wide. That was Yue Xiaoqian. When that news spread, the original devil race was overjoyed.

Gu Yang and the others were a bit upset by this immense difference, but Yue Xihan explained that it was due to the special cultivation technique of the original devil race. It had nothing to do with talent.

The one to benefit the most from this tribulation was Yue Xiaoqian. She even had a deeper understanding of the Profound Spirit Dao Scripture after experiencing this tribulation. Many areas that she hadn’t understood were now clear to her.

Long Chen told everyone not to care too much about the size of their astral spaces. That was just a portion of the power of the Life Star realm. There was something even more important, which was awakening their manifestations.

Only upon reaching the Life Star realm was it possible to awaken their manifestations. However, that would require comprehension and luck.

The tribulation had ended, so Yue Xihan found a secluded place for them to enter seclusion. They had to stabilize their realm first.

Long Chen also didn’t laze around. He went to the ancestral land of the original devil race and took out a mountain of medicinal pills.

Opening his mouth, he activated the divine ability Swallow the Heavens, Devour the Earth. Those pills were like a flood entering his stomach.

Runes lit up on his stomach, forming a foundation. This was the divine ability of the dark evil dragon race.

Huo Long had been refining pills constantly, giving Long Chen a giant stockpile. Now, it was time to use it.

“Let’s see what Heavenstage I can reach now.”

Rumbling sounds rang out within Long Chen’s stomach, like a volcano was erupting. Endless energy flowed through him.
