"Boom!"
The star lotus formed by Long Chen was pierced through with a single blow. Under the attack of the Nine-Star disciples, this move Long Chen had created himself had no power at all.
"Boom boom boom...
Five stars struck Long Chen one by one. Long Chen fought with all his might to resist, but his whole body was still smashed into a bloody mess.
"Six-Star Deification!"
"Boom!"
As the Nine-Star disciple shouted, six stars appeared around Long Chen, surrounding him in the center. At that moment, Long Chen was shocked to find himself completely immobile.
All his energy was sealed by a strange force, and even the power of the stars began to stagnate and unable to function.
At the same time, a powerful twisting force twisted his upper body to the left and his lower body to the right, like a pair of powerful hands grabbing Long Chen, trying to crush him like twisting a towel.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, the Qiankun Cauldron finally couldn't sit still and appeared above Long Chen.
"Senior, don't do anything!"
Long Chen shouted desperately, and with that shout, blood spurted wildly. The immense force crushed his internal organs.
"Don't try to be tough. He's a direct Nine-Star heir, and you're just a half-baked person, without even a complete heart technique. Facing him in a duel is unfair in itself. The fact that you've held out until now is far beyond my expectations. The trial ends here." The Qiankun Cauldron shouted loudly.
Indeed, Long Chen's performance had completely exceeded its expectations. Long Chen was even stronger than he had imagined, especially his ability to adapt on the spot. Even he admired him.
But a difference is a gap. The Nine Star successor was the prodigy of the Nine Star lineage at its peak, and the darling of the ancient era, while Long Chen was born in the End of the Dharma Era.
It's like one born into an imperial family and the other into a commoner family—the children are the same, but their environments differ, leading to huge differences in their acquired status.
The Qiankun Cauldron brought Long Chen here for the trial, not because Long Chen wanted him to pass. Instead, it was to let Long Chen know the gap between himself and the ancient prodigies, thereby stimulating his desire to cultivate and paving the way for his future plans.
"No, I have to deal with him myself. Trust me... Pfft! Long Chen fought with all his might and tried to speak, but ended up spitting out his blood wildly, with fragments of his internal organs spurting out—a truly terrifying sight.
"You idiot, here we go again!" The Qiankun Cauldron cursed angrily, and Long Chen started acting up again, but with Long Chen's demand, there was nothing it could do.
In the past, the Qiankun Cauldron could have intervened forcefully, but now it couldn't. It had already recognized its master and could not go against Long Chen's will. Even if Long Chen was killed, as long as Long Chen forbade it from saving him, it could only watch helplessly.
The Qiankun Cauldron was both angry and anxious, yet powerless. It even regretted recognizing its master so early; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so passive.
"Crack, crack, crack... Long
Chen's body was almost twisted into a twisted mess, his bones cracking loudly. He had already been spun around a half times, his eyes fixed on his own butt, his eyeballs nearly popping out.
"If this continues, you'll die. He's in a different era from you. There's no need to fight him..." Seeing this, the Qiankun Cauldron couldn't help but shout.
"Confidence is the peak. After fighting him, I finally understood the true essence of the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique. Without absolute confidence, one cannot grasp its essence.
Heaven gave me talents for a purpose. Since I was chosen as the successor of the Nine Stars, I am the protagonist of this world. No difficulty can stop me—I am the king of this world. Long
Chen gritted his teeth, his voice bursting out through clenched teeth. Even when trapped in a desperate situation, on the brink of death, his will remained unwavering, unwavering.
"Crack, crack, crack... Not
only was Long Chen's body twisting, but even the divine ring behind him was twisting and deforming. The star sea inside the ring was compressed and trembling continuously, as if both he and the phenomenon were about to be crushed together.
"Buzz buzz buzz...
When the divine ring was compressed to a certain degree, the star sea inside began to tremble uncontrollably, the ring stretching and contracting, and the star sea surging like tides.
Finally, Long Chen's vision seemed to sense the threat and began to resist. His majestic aura erupted, and ripples began to ripple in all directions.
"Is this ...?"
The Qiankun Cauldron was startled by the scene: "Could it be that I miscalculated it?" This trial wasn't arranged by me at all, but a deeper layer of karma? "
Rumble rumble ..."
Finally, Long Chen's vision was like a sleeping dragon awakening. Within the star sea within the vision, endless purple tides surged, the divine ring continuously contracted and contracted, like a beating heart, powerfully pumping blood and accumulating strength.
"Drive it for me!"
Long Chen suddenly let out a furious roar. His long hair flew as if possessed by a demon god. Countless stars swirled all over his body, and at that moment, it was as if his body had absorbed the entire sea of stars.
"Boom!"
A violent force erupted, shattering the six stars trapped around Long Chen. The immense force tore apart the myriad paths, shattering the entire desolate world like a mirror. Even the Nine-Star disciple was shattered by the terrifying force.
"Whoosh"
The desolate world vanished, and Long Chen returned to the arena. In front of him stood a cold-faced Nine-Star disciple, staring at him icily.
At this moment, the star sea phenomenon in the divine ring behind Long Chen dimmed, and his whole body trembled, on the verge of collapse.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock"
Blood dripped onto the cold arena. The silent arena was filled with its echoes, like notes of the end of life, sending chills down one's spine.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, the Nine-Star disciple opened his large hand, holding a broad sword. On the broad sword, seven stars swirled.
"It's over."
Long Chen was deeply shaken by the scene. The Nine-Star disciple still had strength left. Judging by the previous pace, this strike would surely be several times stronger than the previous one.
At this moment, he was completely exhausted, unable even to open the Star Sea Phenomenon, unable to withstand this move at all.
"I've already fought to the limit, and I don't believe you're still at your peak. Come on, let's see who's stronger!"
Long Chen shouted sharply, starlight once again flickering across his body. This was the only trace of star power he possessed. After this strike, he would never be able to stand again.
However, Long Chen did not hesitate to unleash this last bit of power. He did not let the Qiankun Cauldron stop this trial; he had to defeat the Nine-Star disciple. This was his obsession; in the face of this obsession, even death was considered trivial.
This time, the Qiankun Cauldron did not stop Long Chen nor shout; instead, it quietly watched Long Chen, carrying his nearly collapsing body and rushing toward the Nine Star successor.
"Stupid beyond saving, just time with him."As I grew older, I became dumb too, sigh! "
The Qiankun Cauldron let out a silent sigh. Within this sigh were helplessness, self-mockery, as well as comfort and joy.
"Kill!"
Long Chen roared in anger, charging in front of the Nine-Star disciple and punching down. This blow drained all his strength but also gathered his strongest will.
However, the power of this punch was at most half of what it had been before, because Long Chen was now at the point of being exhausted.
"Buzz!"
The Nine-Star disciple, facing Long Chen's charge despite knowing he was doomed, raised the Seven-Star Blade without hesitation and slashed down fiercely.
"Seven Stars Slay the Moon"
