Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5135 Ten Thousand Flame Stone

Long Chen’s dragon roar was a harbinger of death, sweeping through the Brahma Path like a storm. The moment the Brahma Pill Valley's disciples and followers of Lord Brahma heard it, their lives were snuffed out.

The white flame sea was stained red with blood, turning the entire Brahma Path into a nightmarish battlefield. Long Chen’s eyes gleamed with a fierce, unyielding resolve as he left no one alive in his wake.

No matter how deeply hidden within the flames they were, there was no escape. Countless experts were roused from their seclusion. When they saw the horrific scene, they desperately fled for their lives.

Terrified screams filled the air. Some begged for mercy, others prayed, and some invoked Lord Brahma’s name—but nothing could change their fate. They were all fated to die!

As Long Chen’s devastating attack closed in on them, their resentful roars and curses echoed.

“Long Chen, Divine Venerate Brahma will not forgive you for killing his disciples!”

“Everyone, don’t be afraid. We have Divine Venerate Brahma’s blessing. We will not die. As long as our faith is firm, we will quickly be reborn in the cycle of reincarnation.”

“That’s right, death is just the end of one life. We will return to Divine Venerate Brahma’s side, so there’s nothing to fear.”

Long Chen scoffed at their desperate cries. “If you lie enough, you can convince even yourself. If you really weren’t afraid, why are you running?”

Witnessing these people shouting bullshit as they fled, Long Chen showed no mercy. They were all Lord Brahma’s followers. As long as Lord Brahma gave the order, these people would not hesitate to raise their butcher’s blade against him.

Long Chen continued down the Brahma Path, leaving trails of blood mist in his wake. While a small portion of these experts were disciples from Pill Valley, the further he went, the more diverse the lifeforms became. After all, Lord Brahma’s believers were not limited to the human race; countless other races had pledged their allegiance to him as well.

Suddenly, the end of the Brahma Path came into view. There stood a divine statue of Lord Brahma, unlike any Long Chen had seen before. The statue’s legs were spread wide, forming a gateway directly beneath them. To traverse the Brahma Path, one had to walk under the statue’s crotch.

For Lord Brahma’s followers, this was an accepted ritual, but to Long Chen, this was top-tier humiliation.

When Long Chen got close, divine light flowed around the statue, and a powerful barrier appeared, blocking his path. The next moment, the disciples and followers of Lord Brahma cheered with renewed confidence.

“Long Chen, you bastard, the Divine Venerate is protecting us! You can’t harm us!”

Sensing terrifying faith fluctuations from the barrier, Long Chen knew that it was made of Lord Brahma’s will. Only the Sovereign Blood Seal could break it.

“Sovereign Blood Seal—God Slaying Cross!” shouted Long Chen.

A cross mark materialized on Long Chen’s palm, emanating Sovereign qi. Though only a trace, its presence made the entire Brahma Path tremble. The flames surrounding the statue flickered in response to this supreme aura.

Sovereign qi was an aura above even the nine heavens. It commanded all laws of the world, rendering even Lord Brahma’s faith barrier ineffective. The disciples and followers of Lord Brahma behind the barrier felt their souls tremble as Long Chen’s palm pressed against it.

BOOM!

The barrier and Lord Brahma’s statue shattered, crushing the few survivors within the barrier instantly. A giant hole ripped open in the void.

Without hesitation, Long Chen stepped through the hole. In that instant, his pores opened wide, and vast Heavenly Flame energy washed over him. The intensity was so overwhelming that Long Chen nearly spat out blood.

Rumbling filled his ears, and he felt as if he were lost in a chaotic maelstrom of space. The furious flame energy surged around him, threatening to tear him apart.

Shocked, Long Chen had no choice but to activate the Scarlet Dragon Battle Armor. Otherwise, the chaotic flame current would tear him apart.

Long Chen’s heart shook as he crossed this path. While he had sensed spatial fluctuations before arriving, they had not been as intense. Now, they erupted like a volcano, seemingly targeting him specifically. Such intense flame currents were beyond the endurance of average Heavenly Chosens.

“There’s something up ahead!” said Long Chen, sensing powerful energy fluctuations further along the path. With great difficulty, Long Chen advanced through the chaotic current.

Huo Linger wanted to help, but Long Chen stopped her. If Huo Linger were to appear, these flames would likely react to her presence, and everyone would know he was here, including Lu Fan and the other Heavenly Chosens of the Brahma Pill Valley.

On the Brahma Path, Long Chen had only encountered weaklings. Clearly, these disciples were not fit to enter the core regions and could only cultivate here. Unsure of what lay ahead, Long Chen decided to proceed cautiously. He wanted to sneak in and get a look at the surroundings first.

Long Chen spent an hour forcing his way through the chaotic flame current. Luckily, the further he went, the weaker the current became. Toward the end, it was practically a breeze.

Long Chen approached a barrier and saw countless figures gathering around an enormous diamond-shaped crystal. The immense flame energy emanating from the crystal was overwhelming, filling Long Chen with awe.

Within the primal chaos space, Huo Linger’s cry echoed as she sensed the power of the crystal. It radiated all-encompassing flame energy, including the Heavenly Rainbow Flame, the Ice Soul Divine Flame, the Sun Flame, the Moon Flame, and even the Yan Xu Flame.

“This must be the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone,” said Long Chen as he suppressed his excitement. The crystal indeed held the essence of all Heavenly Flames in existence.

Long Chen sensed unfamiliar and terrifying Heavenly Flame fluctuations from it, which caused his soul to tremble. The golden lotus seed within him also seemed to react, growing active in response.

Despite Long Chen’s arrival, none of the experts around the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone noticed him. Their focus was entirely on the crystal. Curious about it, Long Chen stealthily passed through the flame barrier. When he saw the situation clearly, his blood boiled rapidly, yet his eyes grew icy-cold.
