Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5125 Both Sides Injured

When these two divine weapons clashed, Emperor qi raged in the surroundings, causing Long Chen to feel like his head was about to split open.

Lu Fan was no better off. He had thought that unleashing the Brahma Divine Diagram would immediately end this battle. After all, the Brahma Divine Diagram was the divine weapon he had been nurturing his entire life.

This diagram had absorbed tens of millions of years of Lu family’s accumulated faith energy. It possessed a trace of Emperor might and could be considered a pre-Emperor divine weapon.

Although Lu Fan couldn’t fully unleash the power of a pre-Emperor divine weapon, as a son of Brahma, he could use faith energy to draw out the Brahma Divine Diagram’s Emperor qi to crush others. This trace of Emperor qi was enough to pulverize three-vein Heaven Saints into dust.

However, the Brahma Divine Diagram wasn’t something to be used lightly. Even for a son of Brahma, controlling a pre-Emperor class divine weapon with faith energy came at a steep cost. It drained both his soul and faith energy.

Lu Fan was on the verge of breaking through to the Eternal realm and needed to maintain his peak condition. He knew that using the Brahma Divine Diagram at this moment was harmful, but Long Chen had pushed him to his limit, leaving him no other choice.

Unfortunately, when Lu Fan played this trump card, Long Chen revealed one of his own. Just as Lu Fan thought his divine weapon would make him the winner, he was caught off guard. The impact nearly shattered his mind.

Lu Fan wildly spat out blood, cracks appearing on his forehead as if his head had almost been blasted apart. He was in far worse condition than Long Chen.

The six-vein Heaven Saints nearby also nearly spat out blood from the shockwave and hastily retreated further, clearly alarmed.

The Brahma Divine Diagram and the Demon Moon Cauldron continued to clash in the air, neither budging. It was unclear if they were stunned by the impact or simply locked in a stalemate.

At this moment, Long Chen stamped on the air, shooting toward Lu Fan and launching a fist at him.

Still reeling from the previous impact, Lu Fan roared and formed a series of hand seals, conjuring a pillar of divine light in front of him.

Long Chen’s fist struck the divine light, and with a light tearing sound, Lu Fan’s robes blew apart, revealing a silver inner armor.

“Damn!” Long Chen cursed when he saw this armor. As expected of a son of Brahma, Lu Fan was filthy rich. While not on the level of the Brahma Divine Diagram and the Brahma Blade, the armor was still an extremely powerful treasure. Its protective divine light blocked Long Chen’s fist.

“You bastard, you’ve really pissed me off! Don’t even think about leaving alive!” Lu Fan screamed.

Although Lu Fan had blocked Long Chen’s attack, it didn’t sit well with him. Lu Fan had always viewed Long Chen as an ant, and being forced to this point was a blow to his pride.

Lu Fan raised his head and roared, his hair billowing wildly. After that, his Heavenly Fate Disk exploded, transforming into a giant javelin.

Lu Fan’s essence, qi, and spirit rapidly merged together, and he started to wither.

Long Chen jumped in fright when he saw this. This fellow had gone insane and was using self-mutilating techniques.

“Die! Heavenly Fate Javelin!” Lu Fan roared.

After Lu Fan formed a series of hand seals, his concentrated essence, qi, spirit, and Doyen energy all combined and drove the javelin toward Long Chen.

“You really aren’t letting me hold back at all. Let’s see just who’s afraid of you!” Long Chen exclaimed, steeling himself for the incoming attack.

Long Chen clenched his teeth, his blood-colored scales and cloak igniting. A blood-red cross then appeared on his palm, emanating Sovereign might that even made the six-vein Heaven Saints shudder.

“Sovereign Blood Seal—God Slaying Cross!”

Long Chen poured every drop of his dragon blood power into this attack.

BOOM!

The spear containing the full power of Lu Fan’s life crumbled to bits. Following that, a ripple spread out and berserk power erupted.

BOOM!

At this moment, the Brahma Divine Diagram and the Demon Moon Cauldron shot back, and the blood cocoon erupted, causing Evilmoon and the Brahma Blade to separate. In the distance, Huo Linger and the Heavenly Flame Qilin tumbled back because of the astral winds.

At the center of the battlefield, Lu Fan was unconscious. He was flattened by the ripple, losing all semblance of human form.

At this moment, the six-vein Heaven Saints of the Earth Devil race appeared from all sides.

They moved in as soon as the outcome between Long Chen and Lu Fan was clear. They couldn’t let Long Chen escape, nor could they allow Lu Fan to die. If Lu Fan died, they would have to face serious consequences from the Brahma Pill Valley, despite their hatred for him.

Long Chen had anticipated their interference and sneered. He waved his hand, causing the unconscious Lu Fan to appear in his grasp. However, as soon as Long Chen grabbed Lu Fan, he felt a wave of dizziness. His vision darkened, and he nearly passed out as well. It seemed that the damage from Lu Fan’s final attack was even worse than he had thought.

Although the power of the Sovereign Blood Seal far exceeded that of Lu Fan’s final attack, Long Chen had to endure the terrifying backlash, and it inflicted immense damage on Long Chen.

At this moment, Long Chen realized that this fellow had detonated his own Heavenly Fate Disk to at least wound Long Chen severely even if the attack didn’t kill him. That way, Long Chen would still be dead once he fell into the hands of these Earth Devils. What a cunning move.

“Release him!” the Earth Devils exclaimed in horror when they saw Long Chen holding Lu Fan. If Long Chen were to kill Lu Fan, it would escalate the situation dramatically.

“Blood Ocean—God Slaying Cross!”

Long Chen snorted and struck Lu Fan’s back with his palm, sending him flying away. As he released Lu Fan, a violet cross appeared on Lu Fan’s chest.

Seeing the violet cross, the Earth Devils were horrified. Long Chen had embedded his energy into Lu Fan, creating a deadly threat.

If Lu Fan smashed into anything and the energy balance in his body was broken, the God Slaying Cross would erupt and blast him out of existence.

Even if Lu Fan didn’t smash into anything, the energy of the God Slaying Cross would slowly erode him into a pile of mush.

To save Lu Fan, someone would need to absorb the foreign energy from his body, grinding it away bit by bit. However, doing so required an extraordinary level of control. Without a powerful cultivation base and the finest control, the slightest slip would result in his demise.

“With your level, you’ll need everyone to save him. Otherwise, he’ll die. As for whether you chose to kill me or save him, it’s up to you... pfft!” Long Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, his expression grim. There was something off with this bastard’s final attack.

Without wasting any more time, Long Chen summoned Dragonbone Evilmoon, the Demon Moon Cauldron, and Huo Linger, then shot away. He had no choice but to gamble.

The six-vein Heaven Saints hesitated, weighing their options. Their decision was clear, though; they couldn’t afford to lose Lu Fan.

“Bastard! Stop that brat!” The six-vein elders roared at the three-vein Heaven Saint devil creatures and then charged toward Lu Fan, intent on saving him.
