Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts-Chapter 5983 Huo Linger’s Plan

BOOM!

On the other side of the Fiend Devil Swamp, Bi Xingyao was protected by hundreds of devils as he advanced steadily toward Shadow Demon Forest.

“Long Chen, I hope you don’t die too soon,” Bi Xingyao muttered with a smirk, glancing back at the vast swamp behind him.

The hundreds of devils neatly lined up in two rows like loyal soldiers guarding his passage. Each of them had a violet rune on its forehead—his slave mark. These violent devils were now fully under his control.

On the Bi family’s divine peak, cheers rang out when Bi Xingyao reached Shadow Demon Forest.

At first, they had been worried about Bi Xingyao. After all, the swamp was a graveyard for countless Human Emperors before him. But those worries vanished the moment Bi Xingyao started effortlessly enslaving devils. With their help, his army grew rapidly. What was once a high-level trial by fire from the primal chaos era had become a joke for him.

“What’s going on the Luo family’s side?” asked Bi Tu with a sinister smile.

“Long Chen is still fighting in Fiend Devil Swamp,” answered a disciple.

The Bi family’s divine peak only showed what was going on with Bi Xingyao. So, to see Long Chen’s state, one had to watch from the Luo family’s divine peak. Only the mountain lord’s main peak could watch both at the same time.

But during a life-and-death battle, experts from opposing sides couldn’t watch from the main peak. They could only try to guess what was happening based on information passed to them from the other divine peak.

This rule existed for good reason: if both factions gathered to view the battle together, rivers of blood would flow before the trial even ended. History had already proven that possibility.

“He better not die in that swamp,” sneered Bi Tu. “If he’s going to die, it has to be by Xingyao’s hand. Only then does it mean something.”

Clearly, in his eyes, Long Chen’s power was not worth anything in front of Bi Xingyao.

The Bi family knew that Long Chen was still stuck in Fiend Devil Swamp. As for the Luo family’s side, they also knew that Bi Xingyao had led a group of devils into Shadow Demon Forest.

Yet, the Luo family didn’t appear particularly concerned. Because they had seen Long Chen slaughtering the devils.

Streaks of violet divine light flickered through the air, and the devils instantly collapsed one after another. They fell as effortlessly as wheat under a scythe.

“Those violet blood swords are truly condensed from our violet blood race’s innate runes. But their fluctuations are a bit off. Although they possess immense killing power, they don’t look like any divine ability of our violet blood race,” murmured one expert of the Luo family.

As they observed Long Chen’s techniques more closely, a sense of doubt crept in. Long Chen’s violet blood swords were powerful, but their aura transformations and fluctuations didn’t match the standard combat arts of the violet blood race.

Luo Yingchen[1] hastily said, “Senior, I’m ashamed to admit it. While Long Chen possesses the violet blood race’s bloodline, he never had a chance to properly learn our violet blood race’s divine abilities. His time with us was far too short. I doubt he’s even grasped the full power of the Divine Staircase Spirit Awakening. He’s using his own method to wield the violet blood energy.”

Hearing that, everyone couldn’t help but frown. Though they wanted to scold Luo Yingchen, they restrained themselves for the sake of Luo Zichuan and Long Chen.

Seeing that those Elders’ expressions weren’t very good, one elder with a good relationship with Luo Yingchen chuckled.

He said, “I say, Old Chen, did you not see how talented Long Chen was? If I had a genius like Long Chen, I’d give him my own blood and flesh if it helped him grow! Forget divine arts, I’d raise him with every resource at my disposal!”

The elder’s words conveyed the others’ dissatisfaction without making things too hard on Luo Yingchen.

“I...” Luo Yingchen opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say. He had also wanted to give Long Chen the best. But back then, the Bi family had them tightly suppressed.

“What’s Long Chen doing? Why is he collecting the devils’ corpses? I’d understand if they were demonic beasts, as they have some value. But devils? Their bodies are worthless,” interjected a Sovereign Lord.

“He wouldn’t be gathering devil cores, right? Devil cores aren’t that valuable...”

“Could he be... that poor?” someone muttered, half in disbelief.

Inside Fiend Devil Swamp, Long Chen continued his relentless slaughter. By now, he had swept across the entire swamp multiple times. The number of devils was dwindling fast. After dealing with the last few, he checked on the primal chaos space.

Primal chaos qi was gushing out of the black soil, causing the entire primal chaos space to thrive. Even the Fusang Trees and Moon Trees had grown taller again, and their auras were even more frightening.

The Golden Crows and Jade Rabbits had matured with them. A new batch of powerful Jade Rabbits was now approaching the Human Emperor realm.

As for the Golden Crows, they started to exude the aura of Divine Emperors. And even more shockingly, Long Chen sensed faint Sovereign qi fluctuations coming from them.

Sensing those fluctuations, Long Chen jumped in shock.

“Huo Linger...”

“Big brother, you noticed! Hehe!” Huo Linger’s excited voice rang out. “I transformed the Sovereign qi I absorbed into flame seeds and planted them in the Golden Crows. I messed up a few times, but eventually figured it out. Aren’t I amazing?”

Long Chen’s jaw almost dropped. “Yes... and insane!”

Huo Linger had essentially created a brood of Golden Crows on the levels of Sovereign sprouts. Her brilliance and boldness left Long Chen speechless.

“Hehe, I’m waiting for the Jade Rabbits to hit the Human Emperor realm too. Once they’re ready, I’ll plant Sovereign qi in them as well! After a bit, I’ll have a Sovereign sprout army! When they all grow into Sovereign Lords, I’ll help you flatten the nine heavens and dominate the ten thousand races!” she giggled.

Long Chen’s eyes widened as he smiled. Huo Linger’s ambition was outrageous, but she made it sound so adorable.

An army of Sovereign Lords? Just how many top-tier enemies would Long Chen need to kill to sustain that? He could barely feed himself right now.

Still, he gave her a few words of praise before leaving the primal chaos space.

Raising a Sovereign army might be a pipe dream for now, but as long as the primal chaos space continued thriving, they could pull it off. Also, Evilmoon’s reawakening would help Long Chen do that.

Seeing that the swamp had been cleared out, Long Chen finally headed into Shadow Demon Forest.
