Chapter 6292 - Followers of the Nine-Star Lineage

{ "translation": "“So ruthless,” Long Chen's heart trembled. This red-haired man was truly vicious; under his feet were four demon corpses, used as the foundation for a grand formation. However, activating this formation required powerful blood essence, and those he arranged to protect him were actually sacrifices to activate the formation. Sacrificing so many top-tier geniuses at once, including a divine seed with seven hundred strands of Emperor Flame, was truly shocking.\n\n“Boom boom boom...”\n\nAs the formation activated, terrifying Emperor Flames surged, the might of a Divine Emperor stirred, and a four-sided light shield trapped Ming Yu firmly inside. Despite Ming Yu's frenzied attacks, the light shield only trembled slightly, showing no signs of breaking.\n\n“Did you sacrifice so many geniuses just to trap me?” Ming Yu coldly shouted, seeing that she couldn't forcefully break the barrier. Meanwhile, she tried to calm herself and sense the weak spots of the formation.\n\n“Don’t waste your energy; I went through all this trouble to lure you here just to use your blood and soul to unlock the inheritance of the Heavenly Bat Empress and seize her Dao Fruit,” the red-haired man laughed heartily, his voice filled with confident assurance.\n\n“It seems that after your return, you’ve done a fair bit of research on the history of the Empress,” Ming Yu said coldly.\n\n“A peerless genius of the Chaos Era, ascending to Divine Emperor at eighteen; throughout history, there’s been none like her before or since. Your Shadow Bat Clan has guarded this secret here for countless years to obtain the Heavenly Bat Empress’s inheritance. Unfortunately, secrets can't be kept forever; fortunately, my Golden Winged Demon Clan discovered it. This time, with the opening of the Heavenly Domain Battlefield, our clan has poured everything into obtaining this Emperor Dao Fruit. We have meticulously planned; no matter how you struggle, you cannot protect the Dao Fruit. Give up!” the red-haired man arrogantly shouted.\n\nLong Chen’s heart shook wildly. Ascending to Divine Emperor at eighteen — what kind of monstrous talent was that? When he was eighteen, he was still struggling in the mortal world, while others had already become Divine Emperors.\n\nThe red-haired man didn’t seem in a hurry to kill Ming Yu, or perhaps activating that grand formation had severely depleted his life force. He shouted loudly:\n\n“In this battlefield, the Heavenly Bat Empress slaughtered hundreds of our Divine Emperor powerhouses. Although she was powerful, her lack of combat experience allowed our experts to cast a curse on her, leading to her eventual fall. But before her death, she sealed the Emperor Dao Fruit, and we couldn't obtain it then. Now, with the protection of my ancestors’ spirits, today I will surely seize your Dao Fruit and let my ancestors rest in peace.”\n\nLong Chen couldn't help but look back at the clay statue behind him, secretly shocked. Despite her lack of combat experience, she could slay so many same-tier powerhouses, yet she fell in the end, truly a lamentable fate. The Chaos Era was indeed a time of rampant monsters.\n\n“Buzz...”\n\nSuddenly, the red-haired man's aura surged dramatically, and he couldn’t help but laugh maniacally:\n\n“Hahaha, ancestors of the Demon Clan, thank you for your assistance. Today, I will not let you down.”\n\nIt was unclear what method the red-haired man used, but after trapping Ming Yu, his previously depleted aura was instantly replenished, and demonic flames soared to the sky, his power returning to its peak.\n\n“Long Chen, give me the time of one incense stick!”\n\nMing Yu looked at Long Chen, her beautiful eyes filled with pleading. She had roughly sensed the weak points of the formation. However, to break through, she needed at least the time of one incense stick, and the battlefield's situation could change in the blink of an eye, let alone the time of one incense stick. Now trapped, with no one in her clan to lead, she could only entrust the clan's fate to this outsider.\n\nHer heart was anxious, entrusting an outsider with no ties to risk his life for the Shadow Bat Clan on just her word, even she found it unrealistic.\n\nAs she pleaded with Long Chen, suddenly the clay figure behind Long Chen lit up, and a clear stream flowed into Long Chen's mind.\n\nIn his mind, a scene appeared: a finger covered in stars imprinted on a woman's smooth forehead, a character " , " deeply etched into it. The woman's figure twisted, and Long Chen saw an endless battlefield. The woman, leading a group of people with the same character on their foreheads, was slaughtering the outer region demon clan.\n\nAs they charged madly, Long Chen noticed they were pursuing a group surrounded by starlight, treading the firmament, reaching the clouds, engaged in a bloody battle with unknown beings in the heavens.\n\nIn the heavens, massive corpses fell, more significant than mountains, blood dyeing the skies red.\n\nSuddenly the scene shifted, the heavens shattered, black tendrils pierced the sky, figures exuding starlight were pierced, and the stars dimmed, plunging the world into darkness.\n\nIn the endless darkness, the woman with the character on her forehead led her clan in a frenzied massacre. Time passed, days and nights alternated. They lost their target, and without the guidance of starlight, continued their fierce battle against the endless outer region demon clan.\n\nUntil their numbers dwindled, and the outer region demon powerhouses increased, the roars, the tearing of space by sharp claws, and the crushing of flesh and blood intertwined, finally the scene in Long Chen’s mind disappeared.\n\n“So this is the origin of the '魔' character on the foreheads of the Shadow Bat Clan? They once followed the Nine Stars lineage, waging war across the heavens, ending in such a miserable fate.” Long Chen slowly clenched his fists.\n\n“Mr. Long Chen, please!”\n\nAt this moment, Qi Ying’s voice reached him. Seeing Long Chen in a daze, she thought he was hesitating, and desperately pleaded.\n\nNow, with Lord Ming Yu trapped, the only strong individual of her level was Ming Yu herself, and no one in the clan could stand against the demonic spirits. The entire clan’s fate was now in Long Chen’s hands.\n\nQi Ying’s pleading voice awakened Long Chen, and that moment, his heart felt like it was being pierced by needles.\n\nThe Shadow Bat Clan, having followed the Nine Stars lineage, lost all their powerhouses in battle; their glorious era was never seen again, all due to the Nine Stars lineage.\n\nAs a member of the Nine Stars lineage, how could Long Chen stand by? And Qi Ying’s pleading words, each like a knife stabbing into Long Chen's heart.\n\nLong Chen gently patted Qi Ying’s fragrant shoulder, turning to Ming Yu and nodding, “Leave it to me!”\n\nThese simple words brought tears to Qi Ying’s eyes, and Ming Yu was also deeply moved. She held her sword in her right hand, pinched a sword seal with her left, muttering something softly, her body once again flickering between light and dark, clearly, she was about to use a forbidden technique.\n\nSeeing Ming Yu in this state, a mocking smile appeared on the red-haired man's lips.\n\n“Buzz...”\n\nAt this moment, the black mist he had infused with spirit suddenly came to life, transforming into a golden-winged demon.\n\nThe moment the golden-winged demon appeared, it stirred up a sky full of black air, passing through the void, directly charging at Long Chen.\n\nAt that moment, Long Chen faced two demon spirits simultaneously, and his battle will began to burn slowly.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
