Chapter 6299 - Introduction, Subtlety, Divinity, Boundlessness

“This is...” At that moment, the Nine Star Inheritors present were shocked. “Is this the Microscopic Level Starcloud Step?” “How is it possible? A Yellow Level Inheritor, how could they obtain a Microscopic Level Heart Method? Aren’t they only able to inherit the Entry Level Heart Method?” The powerful figures of the Nine Star lineage were filled with disbelief; currently, only someone of Ao Gu's prestigious status had the qualification to practice the Microscopic Level Starcloud Step. Even with Ao Gu's identity and talent, he had just managed to grasp the Microscopic Level Starcloud Step. Within the Nine Star inheritance, the Starcloud Step is divided into four levels: Entry, Microscopic, Divine, and Infinite. Even for the orthodox Nine Star Inheritors, practicing the Starcloud Step is extremely difficult. Some people, due to inadequate control of the power of the stars, are unable to reach the Microscopic Level in their lifetime. Some Nine Star Inheritors, despite having astonishing strength and being invincible in battle, are uniquely unable to master the Starcloud Step. It can be said that cultivating the Starcloud Step is an extreme test of talent and temperament. The Microscopic Level is a dream beyond reach for countless disciples of the Nine Star lineage because it is too difficult. Yet now, Long Chen intercepted a woman who had only reached the Entry Level Starcloud Step with his Microscopic Level Starcloud Step, shocking all the Nine Star lineage powerhouses. Meanwhile, the experts of the Golden Winged Sky Demon Clan huddled together, looking tense. Even they felt immense pressure facing over a dozen Nine Star Inheritors. If it weren’t for Long Chen holding them back, they might even have considered giving up, as the Nine Star lineage was their mortal enemy. However, the battlefield situation was complex and changing rapidly, so they watched quietly, waiting for the opportunity. Seeing Long Chen strike and subdue the arrogant woman, Ming Yu and others were both shocked and delighted. As long as they captured one person, they could make the Nine Star lineage powerhouses wary, and there might be a turning point. “You...” The woman was furious, struggling frantically, but her power of the stars was completely sealed by Long Chen, and she couldn’t break free. Long Chen looked coldly at the woman, seeing her still filled with resentment. He said, “Since you want to kill me, don’t blame me for being ruthless. I can protect you, and I can also—kill you!” “Puff.” Suddenly, Long Chen’s large hand trembled, and the woman’s body stiffened instantly, then exploded, endless starlight and blood mist surging, like a blood-colored firework blooming. “Long Chen...” Ming Yu and others’ eyes widened, their hearts almost leaping out of their throats. Long Chen had actually killed the woman directly. Watching the blooming blood mist, Ao Gu and others were also stunned, seemingly unable to believe that Long Chen dared to kill. “Long Chen...” Ao Gu roared, killing intent soaring, “You dare to collude with the Shadow Bat Clan and slaughter your kin, an unforgivable sin. Today, I must slay you to clean the house.” “Buzz.” Ao Gu’s body trembled with the stars, stepping out, the star clouds under his feet trembling, instantly appearing in front of Long Chen. “Boom!” A loud noise erupted as both punched simultaneously, a starry wave bursting in the void, both retreating. The starry wave swept across the sky, raising ripples, each ripple creating fine cracks, spreading across the entire battlefield in an instant. “Such terrifying power with a casual strike?” The Golden Horned Man and the red-haired man were shocked, realizing that this Long Chen hadn’t used his full strength before. “Ungrateful wretch, beastly-hearted, and yet you can obtain the Nine Star inheritance. You wish to kill me, and I wish to eliminate you. You want to clean the house? Perfect, I also want to clean the house.” Long Chen took Ao Gu’s punch, his fist faintly aching, and his face also filled with killing intent. When the woman attempted to kill Long Chen, they ignored it as if Long Chen was just an ant that could be crushed at will. Yet when Long Chen retaliated and killed the woman, they were furious. This attitude reminded Long Chen of the fools he had once slain, and he never expected there to be such fools within the Nine Star lineage, making him feel both cold-hearted and angry. “You’re merely a minor Yellow Level Inheritor, inheriting only the most basic techniques and skills. You haven’t even entered the Nine Star lineage’s gate, talking about cleaning the house? Do you want to laugh me to death? Die!” Ao Gu sneered, the Starcloud Step unfolding, moving like a ghost, instantly appearing before Long Chen. A kick above, the starlight circulating, fiercely kicking towards Long Chen’s head. “Boom!” Long Chen vanished on the spot, the kick missing, leaving a massive footprint in the void, echoing with a loud sound, a footprint spanning thousands of miles, reaching deep into the earth, bottomless. “Is this the true power of the Nine Star Inheritors?” Qi Ying looked at the massive footprint, her face filled with astonishment. Fortunately, their ancestors didn’t encounter such a level of powerhouse back then, or else the Heavenly Bat Empress’s Dao Fruit would have surely been taken. “If the Nine Star lineage’s gate is filled with such heartless people, I’ll personally annihilate this lineage.” Long Chen avoided the kick, standing in the distant void, his eyes cold, killing intent boundless. The Shadow Bat Clan had countless powerhouses die following the Nine Star lineage, leading to the decline of their race, struggling for survival. As the Nine Star lineage, they even coveted their God Emperor Dao Fruit, intending to kill and seize treasures, which utterly enraged Long Chen. Long Chen was full of admiration for the Nine Star Lord, believing that he, like the emperors, was a peerless hero admired by all. Otherwise, so many people wouldn’t risk their lives to follow him. If the emperor’s descendants were tarnishing his name like this, Long Chen didn’t mind completely annihilating the Nine Star lineage. If Long Chen’s descendants were so unworthy, harming the descendants of the Dragonblood Warriors, Long Chen wouldn’t hesitate to uphold justice. Long Chen’s voice echoed across the battlefield; this wasn’t a roar but spoken in an extremely calm tone. In this calmness, Long Chen’s rock-solid determination could be seen. “Arrogance!” Ao Gu had never heard such arrogant words in his life, his anger surging, the Starcloud Step unfolding, once again attacking Long Chen, star patterns flowing on his fist, punching through the sky. Long Chen snorted coldly, a star igniting in his palm, striking towards Ao Gu’s big hand. “Boom!” Two starry hands collided, a loud boom, the violent force tearing the void apart, splitting the ground before them, the battlefield like a map split by a crack. “That’s... the lowest level combat skill, One Star God’s Fall...” A Nine Star Inheritor looked incredulous. “The lowest level combat skill actually blocked Lord Ao Gu’s advanced divine skill, Star-Shattering Cloud Collapse?” All the Nine Star Inheritors were dumbfounded. One Star God’s Fall belongs to the entry-level combat skills, while Star-Shattering Cloud Collapse is a divine skill, and an advanced one at that. The power difference between the two is not even on the same level. Yet such a low-level divine skill displayed earth-shattering divine might, under the activation of the Supreme Bone, its power surged by countless times. The Supreme Bone has a power that turns the mundane into magic, which is also the source of Long Chen’s confidence. Ao Gu’s face was as dark as water, this strike completely infuriated him, his strong self-esteem generating boundless killing intent. “Lowly creature, let me show you the true divine skill that you won’t learn even in a thousand or ten thousand years.” “Rumble...” Ao Gu spread his arms, resonating with the heavens and earth, endless stars flickering around him, his violent power rapidly ascending.
