Chapter 6071 Recovery From Death’s Door
“Big Brother Long Chen!”
Seeing Long Chen in danger, Yao Ling-er ignored her own safety and rammed into one of the giant stars.
BOOM!
The impact knocked loose a portion of the lightning runes gathered by Yao Ling-er. But it was clear—Yao Ling-er was still no match for these giant stars.
Lei Linger followed up with a thrust of her lightning spear. Only then did the star veer off course, giving Long Chen a chance to escape.
“This can’t go on. Long Chen, think of something!” shouted Evilmoon.
Right now, Evilmoon’s power was scattered across its scales, making it the weakest among them. It couldn’t contend with the stars at all. It was furious—if it had known things would turn out like this, it would’ve waited to unlock its second form.
This giant star...
Long Chen was equally panicked. Within his Dantian, his starry sea was stirring violently, seemingly on the verge of a breakthrough, but something was missing. One last spark. One final piece.
“Calm down. Calm down! A crisis is just another form of opportunity! There must be a way, or my starry sea wouldn’t be reacting like this!” Long Chen muttered.
Looking up at the tribulation clouds in the sky, Long Chen did his best to stay cool. The clouds pressed down like death’s own hand, blotting out every chance of survival.
Then, the clouds parted slightly, revealing the descent of yet another giant star.
But just as that giant star broke through the tribulation clouds, Long Chen’s heart trembled. From the fleeting gap in the clouds, he caught a glimpse of the stars high above the nine heavens, flashing in a strange rhythm.
He could feel his starry sea in his Dantian spinning faster than ever, resonating with a power beyond this world.
However, the moment the tribulation clouds closed again, the connection was cut.
“I understand! The tribulation clouds are intentionally blocking the stars so I can’t see them!” Long Chen exclaimed.
BOOM!
Thanks to Lei Linger and Yao Ling-er’s efforts, two giant stars crashed into each other, exploding into lightning runes.
“Big brother Long Chen, quick, absorb them!” Lei Linger shouted in delight. With this, Long Chen would be able to strengthen himself.
“You guys absorb it! I think I have a way to deal with this situation!” Long Chen shouted back.
Long Chen was running around, trying to prevent himself from being sucked into any of the stars.
Hearing that, Lei Linger, Yao Ling-er, and Evilmoon were reinvigorated. They quickly absorbed the energy of the broken stars.
However, more giant stars were forming. Even with some destroyed, six still hovered ominously in the airspace.
“Lei Linger, protect me!” Long Chen shouted.
Long Chen suddenly stopped and sat cross-legged in midair, closing his eyes.
The moment he sat down, his divine ring whirled behind him, and his starry sea quivered. Specks of starlight appeared, illuminating the skies and the tribulation clouds.
Lei Linger instantly transformed into a massive lightning dragon, placing Long Chen gently on her head and whisking him away from the incoming stars. Together with Yao Ling-er, they worked to lure the stars away from Long Chen, buying him time.
Only Evilmoon was flying around randomly, unable to help. In this state, Evilmoon was extremely weak and didn’t dare to touch those giant stars directly. If it was struck too hard, it would revert to its original form and have to undergo its rebirth process again.
Starlight coiled and swirled around Long Chen. His divine sense extended into the void, using his stars like eyes to peer through the clouds.
Even with the tribulation clouds in his way, Long Chen could see the stars high above. The stars of the nine heavens were not randomly drifting. They followed intricate, profound orbits.
When Long Chen saw their orbit, his heart shook. He instantly realized that nine star heirs could cultivate through heavenly tribulation. However, the heavenly tribulation wanted him dead, so it purposely obscured the stars—robbing him of his path forward.
“Amethyst in the east, heavenly mansion aligned... Gate of oddity... Seven killers stand guard...”
Long Chen’s consciousness blurred, and he muttered ancient lines unconsciously. As he chanted, the stars in his diagram lit up one by one, forming divine patterns.
Giant trees, divine cauldrons, greater demons, immortal wonderlands—all kinds of images appeared and continuously transformed.
Blinding starlight radiated from Long Chen. His Starry Sky Battle Robe returned, casting divine light across the heavens. At that moment, he looked like a god of the stars—sacred and dignified.
Suddenly, the tribulation clouds quivered intensely, and giant stars appeared. They looked like they had gone crazy. Dozens of them appeared at once, flying down with boundless destructive wills.
“It’s over!” shouted Evilmoon.
At this moment, Long Chen suddenly opened his eyes. In them, galaxies spun. A star river flowed in each pupil.
As Long Chen raised his left hand, a bow crafted from pure starlight formed.
Eight stars lit up on his right wrist, forming an eight-colored bracelet. He drew the bowstring, and a brilliant arrow took shape.
Long Chen loosed the arrow.
The arrow, trailing a starry tail, pierced through space and struck a giant star.
BOOM!
The giant star, which none of them had been able to break, exploded because of this tiny little arrow.
Upon seeing that, the Dragonblood warriors let out heaven-shaking cheers. Even Evilmoon, Lei Linger, and Yao Ling-er shouted in excitement.
“That was perfect! Quick, shoot down the rest of the stars!” shouted Evilmoon.
Long Chen’s bow hummed, arrows forming in an endless stream. One by one, the stars were destroyed, and lightning runes flooded the tribulation space.
“As expected, astral energy is the key to break astral attacks. This damn heavenly tribulation, you tried to con me? Not that easily!” Long Chen growled.
If he hadn’t figured this out at this critical moment, he probably would have died here.
Replicating the starry diagram above the heavens granted Long Chen sudden enlightenment. He instantly understood the essence of the Eight Star Battle Armor.
With the new star diagram in effect, Long Chen’s control over astral energy reached a new level. Now, he could use it as easily as when he used his violet blood energy.
The giant stars were formed from concentrated astral energy. To break them, he needed a form of astral energy even more condensed—something he couldn’t achieve before.
Trying to destroy them with raw force was like throwing an egg at a balloon... useless.
But now? His star arrows were like needles. One prick, and the stars burst.
Long Chen’s arrows rained out, detonating the giant stars one after another.
Evilmoon, Yao Ling-er, and Lei Linger shouted excitedly, crazily absorbing those lightning runes to strengthen themselves.
BOOM!
Just then, the tribulation clouds exploded, and divine light filled the air.
“It’s over?”
The Dragonblood warriors were pleasantly surprised to see the tribulation clouds explode.
However, just as quickly, an even more terrifying aura rose.
Cracking sounds rang out. The eight lightning gates surrounding the tribulation zone lit up, releasing endless divine runes. They then coalesced into ancient, immortal characters.
Before anyone could read them, the eight gates swung open—
A beam of lightning shot out of one gate, directly piercing the spot where Long Chen was.
