Chapter 5214 Nine Star Heir Status Exposed
When Long Chen shattered the Zither Sect Human Emperor’s attack with a single hand, everyone—friend and foe alike—was left in utter shock. His hand remained raised, surrounded by spatial runes, while his hair flowed like a dark river. He simply stood there as his black robes billowed, his strength shaking the very world.
This moment felt frozen in time. Long Chen’s simple action shattered the confidence of their enemies, extinguishing their dreams of being unrivaled.
“Then try this attack!” the Zither Sect woman roared, plucking all seven strings at once. Her zither blazed like the sun, summoning a horrifying divine radiance that rapidly congealed.
BOOM!
However, before her attack could connect, Long Chen appeared in front of her and slapped her across the face. She was sent flying, yet her attack still shot out—but now toward the experts behind her.
They instantly screamed in terror. Seeing the giant crescent moon fang flying toward them, they tried to outrun it, but it was too late.
The crescent moon fang instantly obliterated hundreds of thousands of experts in its path, including hundreds of half-step Human Emperors. They barely had time to make a sound before being wiped out.
Immediately after slapping her, Long Chen took a step and appeared in front of her again, launching a fist toward her.
Long Chen said, “Hmph, your high status has coddled you, causing your battle instincts to regress. Just who gave you the courage to act arrogant in front of me?”
The Zither Sect woman was still disoriented from Long Chen’s slap. She felt like she had been struck by a hammer and could no longer tell left from right.
BOOM!
Just then, a black chessboard appeared in front of the Zither Sect woman, blocking Long Chen’s punch. The man holding the chessboard was sent flying along with the Zither Sect woman, his chessboard’s runes swirling around a dozen times before finally settling.
The man’s expression changed after blocking this punch. The Chess Sect had eagerly joined forces with the Brahma Pill Valley in this assault, motivated by a thirst for vengeance after Long Chen had slain their heavenly geniuses. They had also taken charge of crafting the battle strategy and directing the battle.
The Chess Sect was renowned for their schemes. Each of their members was an outstanding strategist, which was why the battle’s tempo had unfolded perfectly according to their plan. However, they had not anticipated the overwhelming strength of Long Chen and the Dragonblood Legion.
For this assault, the Brahma Pill Valley had gathered almost all its allies. Thus, practically all factions who had participated in the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain were here in full force.
After all, Long Chen had killed all their elite disciples, sparing only some small fry who didn’t have the ability to enter the core region. Unable to swallow such a loss, they joined forces with the Brahma Pill Valley against their common enemy.
However, the ancient factions knew there was a terrifying existence within the High Firmament Academy—a living fossil they dared not provoke. In truth, the Zither Sect and the Chess Sect feared this being, so their strategy was to probe first before launching a large-scale assault. If that old being was present, they would retreat, conserving their forces.
When they found that the legendary old fellow was not present, they prepared to crush the first academy. But they hadn’t expected Long Chen to become a terrifying monster in his own right.
“Quick, kill him together! He is a nine star heir, the nightmare of this world! They are death gods who live for destruction!” one of the Brahma Pill Valley’s Human Emperors suddenly shouted in fear.
“A nine star heir?”
This revelation shocked the senior experts present. The title “nine star heir” was a taboo, a legend that had faded into obscurity. Among the younger generation, the term meant nothing, but the elders knew the terrifying legends.
Nine star heirs were said to be seeds of vengeance cast throughout the world. They hated this world, and their ultimate goal was to destroy the nine heavens and ten lands. In the great battle of the primal chaos era, it was said that the devils from beyond this world would transform their soul essence into seeds of vengeance upon death to destroy this world from within.
Every nine star heir was incredibly terrifying, and all factions had to execute them on the spot. Over millions of years, the nine star heirs gradually faded away until people thought that they had been completely exterminated.
To the new generation, nine star heirs were nothing more than legendary figures. In fact, many dismissed them as mere products of someone’s imagination.
However, when the legendary title came from the mouth of one of the Brahma Pill Valley’s Human Emperors, they couldn’t help but be shocked.
Throughout history, the forces of Brahma Pill Valley had commanded experts throughout the world to hunt down nine star heirs, engaging in several bloody battles. If anyone else had claimed Long Chen was a nine star heir, the experts here wouldn’t have believed it. But Brahma Pill Valley wouldn’t joke about such a matter.
“The High Firmament Academy secretly harbored a nine star heir! They wish to destroy the nine heavens and ten lands! Everyone, attack together! They must be wiped out!” shouted Pill Valley’s Human Emperor.
“Attack!” the Chess Sect Human Emperor commanded. As the strategist, his orders were absolute.
“Kill!” Following this order, the experts from the various races poured toward the Dragonblood Legion like an unstoppable tide.
“Come! Whether or not we are the number one legion of the nine heavens and ten lands will be decided today!” Guo Ran roared, directing the Dragonblood Legion into their formation. With the barrier to their backs, they were ready to go all out.
Realizing that they no longer had any place on the battlefield, the other disciples retreated inside. They could only entrust their lives to Long Chen and the Dragonblood Legion.
“Little brat, aren’t you very arrogant? So, you are a legendary nine star heir who lives for destruction? Hmph, I want to see your expression when your comrades die before your eyes,” spat the Zither Sect woman, who was seething with resentment.
BOOM!
Long Chen didn’t respond. Instead, space quivered, and two beautiful maidens appeared. In an instant, they transformed into a sea of flames and lightning that engulfed the attackers.
