Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts-Chapter 5974 Beating a Sovereign Lord

The elder looked like a scrawny monkey tumbling through the air. With an explosive boom, he crashed into a barrier, sending up a wave of dirt.

Ironically, he just had to collide with the very barrier he had set up. It instantly shattered from the impact, and the resulting explosion annihilated the surrounding Lifehunter disciples.

The wave of earth quickly reached Xie Wanyi and the others, making them cry out in horror. Could it be that they were going to die from the aftermath of Long Chen’s slap?

However, this wave of dirt suddenly parted in front of them, flying past them. Sensing the destructive power contained within it, they turned pale. If they simply reached out, they could touch death.

Just then, within a palace inside Sovereign Mountain, an alarm rang out.

“Reporting to the Elder! A Sovereign Lord’s aura has been detected in the trial region beneath the mountain! It’s the Lifehunter race!”

“Courting death!”

A white-haired elder snorted and vanished from the palace.

...

BOOM!

A violet fist streaked through the air, trailing divine light before slamming into the Lifehunter elder’s chest.

The elder coughed up blood. He hadn’t even finished flying back when Long Chen appeared like a ghost above him, slamming a foot into his lower back.

BOOM!

As the elder hit the ground, the world shuddered.

Xie Wanyi and the others stared in disbelief. Even a Sovereign Lord was being tossed around like a rag doll by Long Chen. The elder looked more like a child being punished than a revered expert.

“You’re far too weak,” Long Chen said coldly, looking down at the elder. “Lian Sanqiang could’ve killed six of you with one hand.”

Since receiving the dragon pearl’s blessing, Long Chen’s power had skyrocketed. He had hoped to test his new strength against a Sovereign Lord, but this opponent was utterly disappointing.

Long Chen was beating him like a dog.

“Die!” the Sovereign Lord roared, finally going all out.

His Sovereign flame ignited as he released his full power. At this point, he no longer cared if he attracted the attention of the Sovereign Mountain’s experts. As long as he killed Long Chen, it would be worth it.

With his Sovereign flame burning, his aura exploded in intensity. Sovereign qi gushed out like a tempest, tearing through the sky. The very air screamed with ear-piercing sharpness.

“What kind of power is this?!” shouted one of the violet blood race’s disciples.

The disciples were terrified. Standing behind Long Chen, they were shielded from the tempest, but they could still feel the horrifying force surging past them.

The wild winds scoured their faces and bodies. If they stepped into the storm, they would be reduced to dust in an instant.

They were now in an awkward position, trapped on the battlefield without even the power to retreat. The only safe zone was directly behind Long Chen. If they moved any further back, the raging storm would consume them.

What terrified them most was the thought that Long Chen might die because he was protecting them. A peerless genius like him, one who could stand against a Sovereign Lord while still in the Heaven Saint realm, was destined to become a cornerstone of the violet blood race’s future. If he died here because of them, even ten thousand deaths wouldn’t be enough for them to atone.

More than once, they were tempted to charge into the storm and die—just to free Long Chen of his burden.

The Lifehunter elder roared and swung his sword. Now infused with Sovereign flame, the blade tore apart the very laws of heaven and earth.

Seeing this, Xie Wanyi and the others immediately felt the shadow of death descend upon them.

Long Chen didn’t dare to be careless. A Sovereign Lord going all out was no joke.

His violet blood ignited, and his thirteen violet heaven veins erupted with power, pouring it all into the Evilmoon Blade.

“Waning Moon Heaven Shaking Slash!”

BOOM!

One weapon was backed by burning Sovereign qi, while the other carried the full might of Long Chen’s violet blood. When the divine weapons collided, a blinding light erupted.

Destructive energy spread in all directions.

“This time... we’re really dead.”

Xie Wanyi and the others closed their eyes, calmly waiting for death.

But just as the wave of annihilation was about to reach them, a beautiful maiden in a black dress appeared in front of them.

The moment she raised her hand, black flames gushed out, forming an enormous shield around them.

“What?”

The disciples’ eyes widened in disbelief. Within those black flames... they sensed another Sovereign aura.

This maiden was naturally Huo Linger. She had fully refined the Yan Xu Flame from Yan Yang, a Sovereign Lord far stronger than Lian Sanqiang. So, she could now be considered half a Sovereign Lord.

BOOM!

The shield boomed and rumbled as the shockwaves struck it. However, it did not break.

Huo Linger smiled proudly. After giving a playful wave at the stunned Xie Wanyi and the others, she vanished, along with the flame shield.

The moment it disappeared, fierce winds slammed into them, nearly sending them flying. While the wave of death had passed, residual shockwaves still raged, and they were no joke either. Thankfully, these disciples were strong enough to withstand it.

As their vision cleared, they were stunned to find the landscape completely transformed. Grand Dao runes fluttered through the air like snowflakes.

Up in the sky, Long Chen was holding the Evilmoon Blade, looking below him coldly.

Following his line of sight, they spotted the Lifehunter elder. Half his body was gone as he lay on the ground, barely breathing.

“He... won?”

Everyone was shocked. None of them dared to shout in celebration, afraid it would break the illusion and snap them back into a nightmare.

At that moment, an even more terrifying Sovereign might descended from the sky.

An icy-faced, tall elder appeared. The moment his eyes fell on the battlefield, his pupils shrank.
