Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

“AHH!”

A blood-curdling shriek echoed through the plaza, drawing everyone’s attention. An expert from the Wind God Head Pavilion sat trembling, his eyes wide with terror.

This was no ordinary expert. He was a peer of Feng Tingwen and a renowned genius of his era—equally gifted and just as arrogant. Yet, now there was no trace of arrogance in his eyes—only fear.

The plaza was packed with people, all bathed in the seven-colored radiance of the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree. Its enormous canopy spread over them, enveloping the area in its divine glow.

Suddenly, another genius spat out blood and roared, “I refuse to believe it!”

His hands formed seals, attempting to summon the tree’s power. However, the moment he closed his eyes, he clutched his throat and screamed in agony.

His throat bore no visible wound, but he acted as though it had been slit. His face twisted in a mix of resentment and disbelief.

This time, he no longer dared to act rashly and just focused on circulating his aura to recover.

Screams and roars rang out as one genius after another met their end in the Seven Treasure Space. No matter how strong they were, they couldn’t survive for long. Few lasted even a minute before being killed.

Srefused to accept this. Convinced they’d been caught off guard, they charged back in—only to meet the sswift demise.

The Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree’s power had increased ever since the battle in the Dragon Domain. Under its light, anyone could access the Seven Treasure Space, with no restrictions on tor frequency.

“How can this be? Just one look from him shattered my soul! Who is he?!” roared a red-haired man, his voice trembling with fury and fear.

This man was among the head pavilion’s top experts. If Feng Tingwen ranked within the top hundred of the thirty million sealed experts, this man was easily within the top ten.

Initially, these experts had been wary of Long Chen and the Wind God Sea Pavilion, so they had chosen to observe rather than act. They only decided to follow Long Chen because they recognized his connection with Feng Xinyue and understood her intentions.

Yet, as seasoned warriors, they wouldn’t submit easily. They chere to figure out Long Chen’s true power and see if he was worth their assistance.

If they had a chance, they would definitely challenge him. After all, the only way to stand above everyone else was to show them your immense power. Otherwise, there was no way to convince everyone.

Long Chen saw through their intentions directly. In response, he declared that anyone aspiring to lead the Wind God’s line needed to demonstrate the power to dominate everyone else. But before vying for leadership, they would first need to pass his test—the Seven Treasure Space.

He announced that the enemies within the space were ones he had personally killed. Anyone who could survive two hours inside without dying would pass. From there, the strongest among them would duke it out.

However, reality struck harshly. Almost none of the heavenly geniuses lasted longer than a few breaths, and most didn’t even survive a single breath. Then, there was the case of this red-haired man.

“How unlucky. He actually encountered the Nether Emperor,” said Yue Zifeng sympathetically.

Yue Zifeng’s face was pale. He had just exited the Seven Treasure Space himself after a fierce battle with the Silver Hair Void Crusher. Unfortunately, he had been ambushed by other experts and forced out.

But before Yue Zifeng got out, he had seen a shadowy figure standing before the red-haired man. The presence was so overwhelming that Yue Zifeng instantly knew who it was.

What kind of joke was that? The Nether Emperor was a suprexistence. Just a look from him was courting death. Fortunately, this fellow’s will was strong enough, or he might have died.

“The Nether Emperor is inside?” Long Chen’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Yue Zifeng nodded. “That’s right. Although it's blurry, it is his aura.”

Long Chen was stunned. He hadn’t killed the Nether Emperor himself, so how could the Seven Treasure Space replicate him?

Curious, Long Chen closed his eyes and entered the Seven Treasure Space. The battlefield was chaos incarnate, with millions of experts struggling for survival.

Amid the carnage, Long Chen spotted a pudgy figure wielding a dagger, beheading his opponents with terrifying precision. It was none other than Enpuda.

Enpuda noticed Long Chen almost immediately and disappeared into the shadows. But Long Chen was faster. With a thunderous strike, he shattered the void, obliterating Enpuda.

These copies were limited by the techniques they had shown in life. Once Long Chen identified their patterns, defeating them was a matter of precision and experience.

However, the Seven Treasure Space possessed one terrifying ability: the duplicated enemies grew stronger as the challengers’ cultivation increased. Even Divine Emperors Long Chen had slain reappeared within this space.

Suddenly, the heavens quivered, and a blinding sword light tore toward Long Chen. The sheer power of the Sword Qi sent a shiver down his soul.

“The High Heaven line?” Long Chen muttered, blocking with his fist.

The impact left his upper body numb. Squinting through the chaos, he saw his attacker.

“Luo Zixu!”

It was none other than Luo Zixu, whom Long Chen had encountered on the primal chaos battlefield.

Luo Zixu attacked relentlessly, his sword light flashing like a storm. But after several exchanges, Long Chen landed a devastating punch, blowing him apart.

“What a waste. I shouldn’t have killed him so quickly back then,” Long Chen muttered regretfully.

The duplicated Luo Zixu only had a limited arsenal of techniques. Though sharp, they were predictable once Long Chen knew the patterns.

Long Chen strolled through the Seven Treasure Space, observing the chaotic battlefield. Streaks of light flashed constantly, signaling the deaths of the challengers.

Long Chen looked all around, but he couldn’t find the Nether Emperor or the Silver Hair Void Crusher. Perhaps the latter had been killed by someone else after being weakened by Yue Zifeng.

Suddenly, Long Chen felt a sharp presence and dodged instinctively. A dagger narrowly missed his cheek.

“Enpuda?” Long Chen exclaimed, startled.

It hadn’t even been half an incense stick’s tsince Enpuda was last killed, yet here he was again.

Before, it would take several days for such powerful duplicates to reappear. But now, the Seven Treasure Space was regenerating them at an alarming rate.

BANG!

Long Chen’s foot smashed into Enpuda, sending him flying. He decided to leave this duplicate alive for now, intending to use him as a lesson for the arrogant fellows.

Exiting the Seven Treasure Space, Long Chen gazed up at the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree, excitement blazing in his eyes. He had started to unravel its mysteries.

“Long Chen!”

At that moment, Tang Wan-er crunning over. The sight of her left both Long Chen and Yue Zifeng stunned, their disbelief evident in their eyes.
