Nine Star Hegemon Body Art

Chapter 7275 Absolute Suppression

That hand was like a cage that encompassed heaven, earth, and all laws within. Nothing could possibly escape. The blonde woman wasn’t at all surprised that Long Chen was caught inside of it; that was only natural.

“Die!”

She clenched her fist, and as the hand manifestation followed her lead, the space cracked inside the closing fist, shattering into millions of mirror-like shards. Had there been a star inside that hand, the star would have been crushed to smithereens.

But as she looked in satisfaction, her expression suddenly changed. There was no blood to be seen, and no rent flesh floating in the void. Instead, there was a small bubble shining with light.

Long Chen’s starlight formed a barrier around him, and no matter how tightly the hand clenched, it was unable to deform this layer of protective light in the slightest.

“Impossible! Even a nine star heir couldn’t possibly stop this attack!”

Once she had learned that Long Chen was a nine star heir, she had stopped holding back at all. This attack was her killer trump card; nobody knew about it because every single person who had witnessed it had been crushed. Yet now, it seemed that her iron grip had met a piece of steel.

“I thought that since you’re the leader, you should have some brains, but you’re just another idiot. Don’t you know a hand cannot crush an egg?” asked Long Chen casually.

The starlight barrier around Long Chen truly was like an egg. The hand could not crack it precisely because it was all-encompassing, and as a result, its power was evenly distributed across the barrier. Long Chen’s energy expenditure was barely a hundredth of hers; he was not even breaking a sweat.

The blonde woman didn’t seem to know what he was talking about. What she was thinking now was that since she had managed to capture him, she definitely couldn’t let him escape, and she was racking her brains about how to proceed.

A moment later, Long Chen shrugged. “Fine, I suppose you have some strength. I should show you what true power is! Divine ring, eight gates!”

Long Chen’s astral energy erupted like a volcano, and the massive hand was instantly blown apart. As for the blonde woman, she was directly sent flying by that surge in astral energy.

Heaven and earth changed colors, and a starry sky appeared beyond. Long Chen’s divine ring spun behind him, with eight astral gates around it.

Giant stars appeared in the gates. They were like the eyes of a god staring at the blonde woman. Her muscles suddenly tightened under their gaze; she felt as if her body and soul had just been seized by a terrifying force.

Heaven and earth quivered. The Grand Dao rumbled and the world wailed, as if it was unable to contain this tremendous power.

Long Chen was immersed in starlight. This was his first time using the Eight Star Battle Armor since advancing to the tenth Heavenstage. Naturally, the increase in cultivation had caused the Eight Star Battle Armor to grow stronger as well.

All the arrogance in the woman’s eyes vanished. In its place was pure fear.

She had only felt this kind of terrifying aura from a Heavenly Sovereign. Although Long Chen was still far from matching a true Heavenly Sovereign in sheer power, she was merely a peak Sovereign Lord, and even with a heaven-earth law manifestation, she couldn’t endure it. She felt as if her heaven-earth law manifestation were slowly being stripped away from her, and she was no longer able to absorb energy from heaven and earth.

Devil qi suddenly burst out of her body as her heaven-earth law manifestation collapsed. Law runes poured into her body, and her aura once more surged. She suddenly managed to escape Long Chen’s pressure and draw her sword. But instead of attacking Long Chen, she swung at her own neck.

She truly was stubborn and decisive. Once she knew that she wasn’t a match for Long Chen, she immediately tried to kill herself.

Different races had different physical bodies, and naturally, their weak points were also different. This woman’s lethal weakness was not her head, but her neck. But just as her sword was about to separate her head from her body, the blade came to an abrupt stop. Long Chen’s hand was holding it, and the sword’s keen edge did not even scratch his skin.

“If I want you dead, no one can save you. If I don’t want you dead, not even the Yama King can call you to Hell!”

Long Chen stood in front of her like a god looking at an ant. She was at the peak of the realm, but he had already gone past everyone else’s peak, and even though he was still a Sovereign Lord, he suppressed her in every respect. Even though he hadn’t summoned the golden lotus, the blonde woman had no ability to resist.

Long Chen tapped her forehead. She instantly shuddered, and countless runes spread from her forehead like chains, wrapping up her whole body. She turned pale as paper, but she didn’t resist, because she knew that resistance was useless. Long Chen grabbed her and brought her with him back to the battlefield.

By now, the Four Cardinal Alliance had already seized a complete advantage. When the outsider devils saw that their leader had been captured, some roared and attacked in an attempt to save her, while some others despaired and tried to flee.

The ones who fled and turned around left their backs to Su Yu and the others, and only idiots wouldn’t take advantage of such an easy opening. They didn’t get far before being slaughtered.

The half-step Heavenly Sovereigns had already been killed. As for the elites that Long Chen had picked out, they had also taken heavy injuries. The majority were no longer capable of fighting, while the rest were clenching their teeth and enduring. But other than one person whose life was in danger and was receiving emergency treatment, the others hadn’t suffered life-threatening injuries.

Just as it seemed that victory was in grasp, terrifying devil auras erupted from all directions.

“There’s more of them! Everyone, be careful!”

After a brief moment, however, the alliance’s fighters quickly realized that something was off. The newcomer outsider devils showed no hostility towards them; in fact, they were actively attacking their own fleeing comrades.

“No need to worry. They are on our side. Brothers and sisters, work hard. Wipe out all our enemies!” shouted Long Chen.

Being called brothers and sisters by Long Chen made their blood heat up. Given their own power, how could they be considered the brothers and sisters of a peerless expert like him? Yet they could all tell that he was being sincere, and with this encouragement, anyone who still had any power left charged into battle with renewed vigor to wipe out the remaining enemies.

The Four Cardinal Alliance was slaughtering them from one side, while the Earth Barbarian race was killing them from the other side. In just an incense stick’s worth of time, the battle was over.

Although Long Chen said that the Earth Barbarian race was on their side, the Four Cardinal Alliance’s experts still felt very uneasy around them, especially when they sensed the Earth Barbarians’ terrifying power. But Long Chen waved his hand, and the Earth Barbarians simply bowed to him before retreating to a distance, allowing everyone to sigh in relief.

Then, he turned towards the blonde woman.

“Alright, spit it out. Why did you bring this many people here? Why did you sacrifice so many of them?”
