Chapter 6451 Slaying Bing Yi
“Long Chen!!!”
Bing Yi let out a furious roar. The loss of her arm contorted her face into something monstrous.
Long Chen flung Bing Yi’s severed arm toward Fei Shuang. She caught it instinctively, and her eyes immediately reddened. She finally understood Long Chen’s justice—this was a true tooth-for-a-tooth reckoning, an arm for an arm.
Bing Yi suddenly took out a medicinal pill. But before she could stuff it into her mouth, Long Chen kicked her hand and seized the pill.
Without hesitation, Long Chen put the pill away. Then, he walked toward Bing Yi.
His footsteps were unsteady as he had already reached his limit. Yet, he pressed on, knowing there was still a vital task to complete.
Bing Yi tumbled across the ground, her Star Battle Armor gone, her aura in disarray. She had poured every ounce of her power into that final, desperate attack, just so that she could kill Long Chen in a single strike.
After fighting for so long, she had gotten a terrifying premonition that if this attack failed to kill Long Chen, then the one to die would be her.
However, Long Chen had anticipated her all-out attack. He had reserved Evilmoon’s power just to counter it. And his goal was not just to defeat her—he wanted her arm and to capture her alive.
In raw astral energy, Long Chen was actually inferior to Bing Yi. After all, his energy was too chaotic for him to fully control. In theory, it should have been impossible for him to beat Bing Yi.
However, Long Chen’s years of walking across the line of life and death had forged unparalleled combat experience, which allowed him to make up for his disadvantages. He managed to exhaust Bing Yi’s energy until she no longer had the power to flee.
Five astral vines shot out, binding her limbs and neck, hoisting her into the air.
Under normal circumstances, Zhi Zhi could never restrain a Bing Yi at full strength. But now, exhausted and broken, she had no choice but to succumb.
Terror finally cracked Bing Yi’s proud composure. Once filled with starry light, her eyes reflected only panic now. She was just a shadow of her former self.
Long Chen approached and pressed a finger against her forehead.
“You want my essence divine rune? Keep dreaming. You won’t get a single thing,” Bing Yi roared, divine light surging in her dimmed eyes.
However, before she could unleash her technique, Zhi Zhi’s tentacles pierced her eyes, ears, and mouth as they restrained her. Her body trembled violently, powerless under Zhi Zhi’s control.
“Long Chen, you don’t have the proper nine star heir inheritance. Absorb her essence divine rune and seize her inheritance,” said Evilmoon.
“The proper inheritance?” Long Chen scoffed, his finger pressing against her forehead.
After a brief pause Long Chen asked, “Do you think she has the proper inheritance? The Star Master died fighting for the nine heavens. His inheritance is not limited to cultivation techniques or divine abilities—it was a legacy of spirit and will. Do you believe these greedy and perverted bullies are proper nine star heirs?”
“Well... you’re right, but her power is formidable. Absorb her divine abilities, and your strength will rise to a new level. Who cares about the rest?” Evilmoon replied.
“Hmph, the divine abilities and magical arts of such a person aren’t good enough for me.”
Stars flickered to life behind Long Chen. Though exhausted, as long as he still had astral energy, he could summon his astral manifestation. However, he could no longer absorb the astral energy of the heavens to fight at this point because his body couldn’t endure it.
Starlight glimmered at his fingertip, coalescing the last remnants of his remaining energy.
“AHH!”
A horrendous scream tore through the air. The moment Long Chen’s astral energy invaded Bing Yi’s essence divine rune, Zhi Zhi released its control.
Bing Yi convulsed violently. She couldn’t move her body, but she could speak now. Knowing her fate was sealed, she cursed, “Long Chen, you won’t have a good death! The Star Prince will definitely find you and kill you!”
Long Chen ignored her, and starlight flashed on his fingertip.
This essence divine rune was a condensation of Bing Yi’s cultivation base. It was now on the verge of collapse. If Long Chen pressed the slightest bit harder, it would shatter, and Bing Yi would be crippled forever.
Still, destroying it would have been simple. Controlling it was the real challenge. After all, Bing Yi refused to yield. If she died, the essence divine rune would vanish instantly, so Long Chen had to keep her alive.
At this moment, Lei Linger and Huo Linger appeared at his side. Wielding his Bloodfiend Halberd, Cang Lu also took position nearby, while the experts of the original devil race formed a tight perimeter around him. No one could possibly break through unnoticed.
They didn’t know what Long Chen was doing now, but he was in an incredibly vulnerable state. If someone sneak attacked him now, it could be fatal.
Long Chen was at his limit. The starlight on his fingertip was flashing as it struggled to pass through the defenses of Bing Yi’s essence divine rune.
Suddenly, her essence divine rune shuddered violently. Its defenses cracked as if its mighty lock had been undone. Once piercing through eight stars, the tall pillar slowly faded.
At this sight, Bing Yi gritted her teeth in fury.
“Long Chen, I curse you...”
A final bolt of starlight shot from Long Chen’s fingertip, plunging into her head. Bing Yi collapsed on the ground. This once-lofty genius of the nine star line had fallen, just like that.
As for her essence rune, it floated in midair—under the control of Long Chen’s astral energy. With the essence rune secured, Long Chen no longer needed to endure her endless curses.
“Senior...” Long Chen said to the Earth Cauldron.
“Let’s go.”
The Earth Cauldron seemed to know what Long Chen wanted. Its radiant form enveloped him from above.
Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength condensed into a miniature version of himself—his Yuan Spirit. Without hesitation, his Yuan Spirit stepped into Bing Yi’s essence divine rune.
“Let’s see what kind of existence your so-called proper nine star line truly represents,” Long Chen said, voice steady and sharp.
