Chapter 5612 Long Zaiye’s Ambition
“Nine star heir!”
When this name rang out, it was like thunder through their ranks. Everyone instantly fell silent.
“He is a nine star heir?”
Jiang Yue’e was also shocked. She couldn’t help looking at Feng Fei. Feng Fei had never mentioned this to the Jiang clan.
Feng Fei shook her head. “Didn’t I already say it? Long Chen cultivates the Starry River of the Sky Art. Furthermore, he managed to add his own insights into it, giving him immense astral energy. Under his guide, the fully declined Starry River Sect was reborn and is rising rapidly. Its disciples are spread throughout the nine heavens and ten lands. The Starry River Sect’s disciples all view Long Chen like a god. Thanks to him, the Starry River Sect has been brought back to the proper path and has continued its legacy. Long Chen is in possession of astral energy, dragon blood, seven-color Supreme Blood, and violet blood. You understand.”
Jiang Yue’e nodded inside after hearing that. She understood what she was doing.
At this time, all the experts here were shaken by the name of a nine star heir. Nine star heir were called thes strongest warriors of the nine heavens and ten lands. This name was a symbol of being unmatched.
“Why are you asking?” Long Chen narrowed his eyes.
Long Zaiye smiled. “I was born in the primal chaos era. I swept through my realm. I’ve killed seventeen nine star heirs.”
“What?!”
Other than a few people of the four divine clans, people were completely shocked.
Nine star heirs were unrivaled existences. But Long Zaiye had actually killed seventeen of them? Was this fellow a monster?
Long Zaiye pulled open his leather armor, revealing a hairy chest. There was a wound on his chest that looked like a starry river.
“I killed sixteen nine star heirs without being injured in the slightest. But the seventeenth fellow was strong. That sword of his almost cut me in two. But in the end, I still won. I cut off his head. The strongest warriors of the nine heavens and ten lands are nothing in front of me,” sneered Long Zaiye.
Seeing that wound, Long Chen clenched his fists. That wound’s astral energy had already faded, but a powerful will remained, a will full of fury and resentment.
Long Chen sneered. “Don’t act like you’re the one who’s unrivaled. If the nine star heir that injured you wasn’t killed because of a sinister trick on your hands, I’ll give you my head.”
Long Chen’s words shocked everyone once more. That was very bold. Could it be that the last nine star heir really had been defeated thanks to trickery, not real skill?
Long Zaiye’s expression sank. He gloomily said, “Nine star heirs are all solitary and arrogant existences. They never work with others. But I hear that you’ve built some Dragonblood Legion. That’s off from the legends. Furthermore, nine star heirs never play tricks or waste words, but you’re constantly spouting nonsense from that mouth. Most importantly, nine star heirs always have starlight around them, but you don’t. Thus, I suspect that you are using the name of a nine star heir to spread rumors about yourself.”
Long Chen narrowed his eyes. Long Zaiye had killed seventeen nine star heirs, but was still unable to tell that he was a nine star heir?
If it was someone else, Long Chen would suspect them of being up to some scheme, wanting to test out his bottom line.
However, Long Zaiye looked too arrogant to bother with something like that. Of course, it also seemed like his intelligence was not high enough to do that.
“Your path has already deviated. Other than true nine star heirs, it is basically impossible for people to recognize you. Even the Silver Hair Void Crusher was confused by you,” said the Earth Cauldron.
Long Chen’s cultivation path had changed ever since the Five Star Battle Armor. Now he had already reached the eighth star. His aura was completely different from orthodox nine star heirs.
Most importantly, he had so many different energies within his body that were all affecting each other. It had to be known that nine star heirs purely used astral energy. They didn’t use any other powers. This was common sense.
This common sense was known by all. Thus, when Feng Fei told Jiang Yue’e about Long Chen possessing many kinds of energy, there was no need for any further explanation.
Long Chen clapped for Long Zaiye’s words. “Not a bad deduction. But I have to tell you that I am a real nine star heir.”
“What a joke. Even at this time, you’re still acting tough?” scoffed Long Zaiye. The more Long Chen acted this way, the more he confirmed his thinking.
“What do you mean, acting tough? I can control the astral energy of heaven and earth. If I’m not a nine star heir, what could I be?” responded Long Chen.
Long Zaiye snorted. “You really are ignorant. Before the Nine Star Master appeared, there were many races capable of controlling astral energy. The Heavenly Elephant, the Astral Serpent, the Flying Horse, the Voracious Monkey, they all were skilled in astral energy. The number of people in the human race capable of using astral energy was also uncountable. However, following the decline of the nine star line, those races and factions that used astral energy were also affected, and were wiped out along with the nine star line. Even though they were wiped out, the inheritances that they left behind aren’t fully severed. There are still quite a few people secretly cultivating them. You are one of them!”
Long Chen smiled. Long Zaiye really was nice. He was intentionally helping him cover up his identity? He seemed intent on saying that he wasn’t a nine star heir.
“Don’t think that a big head makes you smart. Your head is full of shit. Why are you saying that I’m not a nine star heir? Could it be that you’re already planning for when you lose to me? Or was it all nonsense about you beating seventeen nine star heirs?” asked Long Chen disdainfully.
At this time, he no longer cared about having his nine star heir status exposed. After all, he had already killed the Silver Hair Void CRusher. The death of one of the eight divine commanders would definitely shake Lord Brahma.
Although Lord Brahma might not personally take action, he just had to send out his other divine commanders. Long Chen’s status would instantly be exposed.
Furthermore, even if nothing happened on Lord Brahma’s side, what about Netherdragon Tianfeng? The Nether Emperor had possessed his body. The Nether Emperor had also been slain by the Nine Star Master, but had come back. How could he not recognize Long Chen’s status?
Thus, there wasn’t much point to hiding his status. He might be able to dodge one person, but not all of them. Long Chen couldn’t be bothered to waste more effort on that.
Long Zaiye sneered at Long Chen’s question. “In my eyes, you are only an ant. You’ll die to my hands. But I won’t permit you to elevate yourself with the title of a nine star heir, or people will think that the nine star heirs that I killed were all trash like you. Then I’d be turned into a laughingstock.”
Arrogant, truly arrogant. Long Chen began walking towards Long Zaiye just like that in front of everyone’s gazes.
