Nine Star Hegemon Body Art

Long Tianrui was calmly comprehending her Jiuli Divine Stele when an unexpected disturbance made her open her eyes. This place was an independent space unique to her. How could the sounds of the outside world reach her here?

Then she heard a furious roar. She froze, thinking she must be mistaken. The roar was unmistakably Long Zaiye’s.

Suddenly, the void exploded. Seven-colored divine light flashed, and one Jiuli divine rune after another appeared before her. She was stunned.

The wild will of these divine runes had already been erased, so they could be directly absorbed.

Long Tianrui wasted no time. Forming hand seals, she immediately began absorbing the runes. Dozens of them merged with her soul in an instant.

“Seven-color blood… Long Chen…” muttered Long Tianrui.

Long Chen’s face appeared in her mind. She could even see the mischievous smile on his face.

…

Elsewhere within the unique space of the Jiuli Divine Stele, Jiang Yue’e and Feng Fei stood together. Jiang Yue’e had expended a vast amount of energy to pull Feng Fei into her domain. It was a significant sacrifice, but she did not regret it. Feng Fei was her most trusted confidant and sister, and her strength was Jiang Yue’e’s strength.

At this moment, their eyes were boggling at the divine runes covered in seven-color divine light in front of them. They covered their mouths, not daring to believe what they were seeing.

“How did this fellow do this?” asked Jiang Yue’e, completely flabbergasted.

“We just heard Long Zaiye cursing. It seems he’s once again giving out ‘gifts’ that don’t belong to him,” Feng Fei said, chuckling.

“Once again?”

“This isn’t the first time he’s done something like this. But let’s not waste time. Big Sister, quickly absorb these masterless runes while we can,” urged Feng Fei.

“We’ll split them evenly,” Jiang Yue’e insisted.

“My talent is limited. Even if I absorbed them, it would be a waste. Please don’t argue. Between us, there’s no need for formalities. Hurry and absorb them while Long Chen’s bloodline power remains active,” Feng Fei urged again.

Jiang Yue’e hesitated for a moment before nodding. She formed hand seals and absorbed the dozens of runes floating before her. The moment they merged with her soul, a wave of elation swept through her. She felt as though she were dreaming.

After all this time, she had only merged with thirty-seven runes. She had already felt that this was enough.

Before this, she had managed to merge with only thirty-seven runes and had been proud of that accomplishment. Yet now, Long Chen had delivered sixty-two additional runes to her. What thrilled her most was that none were duplicates.

Now, she had ninety-nine Jiuli divine runes. It was an achievement she had never dared to dream of. It made her feel surreal. She was afraid that she was dreaming and would wake up soon.

“Sister, am I dreaming?” asked Jiang Yue’e, her voice quivering.

“If this is a dream, it’s a beautiful one. But to Long Zaiye, it’s probably a nightmare,” Feng Fei replied, laughing.

“Just what kind of existence is Long Chen?” Jiang Yue’e asked. “Every rune is a priceless treasure. Why did he give such priceless treasures to us?”

“Long Chen doesn’t like owing favors. It can be said that he has repaid our favor from last time. Well, I already said that a favor from Long Chen is priceless, right?”

“But why would he do this? Why not use these runes for himself? Is there really such a fool in this world?”

“Long Chen isn’t a fool. If he’s giving these runes to us, it means…” Feng Fei trailed off, her expression turning serious as she considered a startling possibility.

“That’s impossible!” Jiang Yue’es eyes widened. She could guess what Feng Fei was thinking.

Feng Fei took a deep breath to steady herself. “Big Sister, speculation won’t help us now. Our time is limited. Each rune we comprehend strengthens us. Let’s focus on this opportunity before the Jiuli Divine Stele withdraws.” ṙÅŊＯ฿Êș

Jiang Yue’e nodded. Closing their eyes, the two women continued their meditation. Yet, deep inside, Long Chen’s methods had truly shaken this lofty and solitary war goddess.

…

“Senior, can I re-enter the Jiuli Divine Stele’s space and kill Long Zaiye?” asked Long Chen.

“It’s futile,” replied the Earth Cauldron. “The Jiuli Divine Stele can open only ten spaces at once, and those spaces have already closed. You’d only be able to reach the ninth barrier. If you were to force it, you could enter, but it would take too much energy.”

“Long Chen, don’t listen to that old pot. How will you know unless you try? If this old thing refuses, you can try it with me. I’ll break that stupid barrier to pieces,” declared Evilmoon.

“It’s only Long Zaiye! What’s the big deal? Don’t tell me you’re afraid to face him as he grows stronger?” the Earth Cauldron retorted, goading Evilmoon.

“Afraid? Me? What the fuck do you think you’re saying? When have I, Evilmoon, ever been afraid of anyone?!” demanded Evilmoon.

Long Chen could naturally tell that the Earth Cauldron was using this method to change Evilmoon’s mind. But the Earth Cauldron was right. Why would they be afraid of Long Zaiye? Was he truly afraid of being surpassed? After thinking of that, Long Chen came to his decision.

“Alright, then I won’t kill him today. Let him grow as much as he pleases. Old cauldron, watch closely as we cut him to pieces next time,” declared Evilmoon.

“That’s right, we’ll let him grow. Next time, I’ll beat him up with an arm tied behind my back,” added Long Chen.

“Why just one arm? You can tie up all your arms and legs!” quipped Evilmoon.

“Then how am I supposed to fight?” asked Long Chen.

“Take off your pants and flick him in the face so hard that his head goes flying!” shouted Evilmoon.

“Stop, stop, that’s enough.”

Long Chen shook his head. When did Evilmoon become so dirty?

The Earth Cauldron warned, “Although you’ve obtained all the runes, you simply swallowed them without learning anything. Right now, you should think of a way to awaken the power of those runes. The first divine rune you awakened holds the key to fully understanding the Jiuli Divine Stele. In truth, you’ve only comprehended the slightest bit about it, and you’re far off from comprehending them all.

“On the other hand, Long Zaiye and the others are different. Unlike you, they won’t be disturbed by other bloodlines like violet blood and dragon blood. With the help of the divine stele, their speed and depth of comprehension are far beyond yours. When they come out of seclusion, they will be completely different people. If you don’t take this chance to increase your power, the next time you run into Long Zaiye, you’ll definitely suffer.”

Long Chen nodded as he stared at the enormous Jiuli Divine Stele in front of him. Just as he was about to leave, the primal chaos Dragon Sovereign’s voice rang out in his mind.

“You don’t have time to comprehend them. The Emperor reverse scale has appeared, and experts of various paths are already rushing over it. The bloodbath is about to begin.”
