Chapter 6449 Full Power
With each astral gate that opened, Long Chen’s aura climbed to a new peak. When the seventh gate emerged, starlight engulfed his body, and the Starry Sky Battle Robe took form.
The moment the battle robe appeared, boundless astral energy rippled outward. A pillar of light tore through the heavens.
“This aura...”
The nine star heirs’ faces twisted in disbelief. They had never witnessed such a phenomenon. The pressure radiating from that robe made their souls tremble, as though frozen in place.
“That’s clearly the Starry Sky Battle Robe, a low-tier astral skill! How can it possess such immense power?!” one of the nine star heirs shouted, unable to believe his eyes.
Each of them had cultivated the Star Battle Armor, a far superior technique, and had pushed it to high levels. In their eyes, the Starry Sky Battle Robe was a child’s toy, yet Long Chen’s version emanated a power that toppled their understanding of the astral path.
“Interesting,” Bing Yi said coldly, her eyes glinting like distant stars. “But this still isn’t enough to compete with me. Can’t you see? My current power is ten times what it was. You’re still far from qualified to challenge me.”
“Then what about now?” Long Chen asked.
Suddenly, 999 Sovereign flames erupted around Long Chen.
BOOM!
The world beneath his feet shattered, and terrifying cracks spread in every direction.
“Shit!”
The nine star heirs retreated in horror, but the spreading cracks were already upon them. One of them was caught before he could react and crumbled to dust.
He was precisely the one who cheated and crippled Fei Shuang’s arm. Normally, someone of his level would have never stood among them, but he had been brought along to guide the way.
He was definitely the weakest among all the nine star heirs. When the spatial cracks reached him, he tried to flee, but space itself had frozen. He couldn’t even scream before his body and soul were erased from existence.
He wasn’t alone. Five others were too slow and were caught as well—their bodies and souls annihilated in an instant.
“What kind of power is this?!”
The surviving nine star heirs finally managed to escape the range of the cracks, their faces pale with terror.
The battlefield was now riddled with black spatial cracks, each one shrieking like the wails of some fiend.
The very world was shuddering. The laws of heaven and earth were thrown into chaos because of Long Chen’s existence.
“Is he really a Mortal-tier heir? How could a beggar wield such power?” asked one of the nine star heirs.
The nine star heirs were shuddering. The astral might pouring from Long Chen filled them with primal dread that they couldn’t suppress no matter how they tried.
“He hasn’t even merged his Sovereign flames and already possesses such power. Heavens, am I hallucinating? What am I seeing?” one of them stammered.
Even without merging his Sovereign flames, Long Chen could unleash such power. So, what if he did merge them? Just how strong would he be then?
Long Chen’s unprecedented astral Sovereign flames continued to expand, like countless blades stabbing through the void. Black threads of destruction spiderwebbed through the air.
Finally, Bing Yi’s lofty arrogance vanished. Her pupils contracted to pinpoints as she stared at Long Chen in disbelief.
The pressure coming out of Long Chen was already able to compete with hers. Most terrifying of all, this pressure was chaotic and untamed, which showed that it was beyond his full control.
And that was what terrified Bing Yi the most. The chaotic power was already on par with her power. So, if Long Chen could truly command it, then even without merging his Sovereign flames... he would be able to suppress her.
Bing Yi’s expression turned dark as the realization struck her. She simply couldn’t believe that a Mortal-tier heir—an existence she regarded as an ant—could wield such terrifying power.
The starry sea around Long Chen churned violently. His Sovereign flames flared and pulsed in rhythm with his Supreme Bone. Once his three bloodlines had condensed 999 Sovereign flames, his astral Sovereign flames formed naturally.
However, these astral flames were his strongest—far beyond what he could fully control. Even his dragon blood Sovereign flames had yet to be completely purified. Normally, he wouldn’t dare to touch this new, unstable power.
But today was different. Before him stood those who claimed to be the true inheritors of the nine star line—the so-called Heaven-tier heirs. And Long Chen was done holding back.
“Is this enough? If not, I can show you more. Ignite!”
With a thunderous roar, his Sovereign flames erupted. Starlight exploded outward like a supernova.
BOOM!
The nearest target—Bing Yi—was blasted backward by the sheer pressure.
“Mistress Bing Yi!”
All the nine star heirs cried out in shock. The almost god-like Bing Yi had been sent flying by aura alone.
“Waning Moon Heaven Shaking Slash!” Evilmoon roared through the sky, slashing down like a falling starry river.
“You ant, do you think your brute strength can match the power of a Heaven-tier heir?! You’re too naive!” Bing Yi bellowed.
A colossal eight-star diagram lit up behind her, and from it manifested a towering astral figure—her Heaven Earth Law Manifestation.
“It’s a heaven earth law manifestation!” one of the heirs gasped, eyes shining.
Bing Yi was a true prodigy. Even at this level, she could manifest a power said to belong only to Divine Sovereigns.
“Mistress Bing Yi’s Heavenly Eye bloodline makes her unmatched. By merging her astral energy and pupil arts, she managed to condense the heaven earth law manifestation ahead of the time. Long Chen is done for!” said a nine star heir confidently.
At this moment, Evilmoon cleaved into the giant figure’s fist.
BOOM!
A deafening explosion rocked the sky. Evilmoon’s huge form was actually blown apart.
“Mistress Bing Yi is mighty!” cheered the nine star heirs.
“Your power is chaotic and scattered. You can’t control it. How are you going to compete with my heaven earth law manifestation? An ant is ultimately an ant. No matter how you struggle, you can’t change your fate!” shouted Bing Yi.
Her astral giant, like a god of the stars, raised its foot and stomped toward Long Chen.
Bing Yi’s manifestation differed from Cang Lu’s. Her true body now sat upon the giant’s forehead, fusing completely with it. As long as the manifestation remained intact, she was untouchable. This was a gift unique to the Heavenly Eye race. Other nine star heirs could not walk this path.
However, this fusion was a forbidden art. If her manifestation were destroyed, her Heavenly Eyes would shatter, and she would forever lose her pupil arts.
Against a Divine Sovereign, she would never dare to take such a risk. But facing a mere Human Emperor? She had no fear.
BOOM!
Long Chen swung Evilmoon, and a crescent moon fang flew out, striking the astral giant’s foot.
The giant stumbled back several steps.
“Run!”
The nine star heirs screamed as the giant’s shadow loomed over them. However, they were horrified to find space twisting chaotically around them, slowing their escape to a crawl.
Several were crushed beneath the giant’s foot, exploding into mist. Their dying wails echoed through the void.
With a roar, Long Chen swung Evilmoon again and again, unleashing waves of saber qi interwoven with starlight. Each of his strikes tore at Bing Yi’s heaven earth manifestation.
