Chapter 6302 - Six Gates VS Eight Stars

“How can he be so strong? What level of monster is this?” Seeing the eight gigantic stars emerging behind Ao Gu, a man from the Shadow Demon Clan exclaimed in terror, overwhelmed by the boundless aura that instilled despair. He possessed seven hundred Emperor Flames, once the strongest in the Shadow Bat Clan apart from Ming Yu. However, today he realized that the power he prided himself on was so insignificant before a true powerhouse. On each of the eight stars, flames flickered, and upon closer inspection, those flames were strands of Emperor Flames. Each star burned with a hundred Emperor Flames, meaning Ao Gu was also a formidable being with eight hundred Emperor Flames. However, his Emperor Flame power had fused with the power of the stars, forming an entirely new strength that surpassed human understanding. “Perhaps being invincible among peers refers to such an existence!” Lord Ming Yu remarked bitterly. She glanced at the statue behind her, its power weakening visibly. Clearly, the power of the Heavenly Bat Empress was retracting inward, as she had reached the most crucial stage. Due to the immense power required for resurrection, they might soon be unable to protect themselves, yet they still needed to protect the statue from being destroyed, as the opportunity for resurrection came only once. If interrupted, the soul and will of the Heavenly Bat Empress would dissipate completely, and the Great Emperor’s Dao Fruit would become an ownerless object, easily assimilated by whoever obtained it. If an outsider seized it, the future of the Shadow Bat Clan would be utterly hopeless. But how could they defend against a terrifying being like Ao Gu? Even if the warriors of the Shadow Bat Clan were fearless, they couldn’t protect the statue even if they all perished. Now, they gazed at Long Chen in the void, his figure seeming so frail and thin before Ao Gu, yet this frail figure bore all the hope of the Shadow Bat Clan. “Long Chen…” Ming Yu clenched her fists, wanting to assist Long Chen, but considering whether she could help at all, her intervention might instead cause confusion, as the successors of the Nine Stars would not stand by idly. “Boom…” In the state of Eight-Star Battle Body, Ao Gu’s star power reached its peak, and with Emperor Flames burning, he seemed like a demon god. He looked coldly at Long Chen: “Ignorant fool, in your next life, recognize the hierarchy; some power is not for the likes of you to covet.” “Boom” As Ao Gu’s foot slightly trembled, a crack appeared in the void, slicing toward Long Chen like a sharp sword. “Tearing through the void? Not using spatial laws but brute force to tear the void, what kind of monster is this?” The experts of the Golden-winged Demon Clan turned pale with fright, some too afraid to continue watching. They wanted to flee, but without their leader’s command, they dared not. “Supreme Bone, it’s a tough day for you!” Long Chen took a deep breath. The Supreme Bone was still healing, but Long Chen had to rely on its power. “Boom” When the spatial crack reached Long Chen, a surge of immense aura erupted, shattering the crack instantly. Then, people saw behind Long Chen, gates of stars slowly opening, and the vast power of the stars poured down like a flood, continuously infusing into Long Chen. The Supreme Bone in Long Chen’s chest trembled, rapidly absorbing the surging power. The more star power it absorbed, the brighter it shone. However, under the divine light, the cracks on the Supreme Bone were alarming, indicating its severe injuries. Yet, even in its damaged state, the Supreme Bone withstood the impact of six star gates at full power. Seeing the six star gates behind Long Chen, all the Nine Stars lineage experts, including Ao Gu, were in disbelief, having never seen such a star battle body. “What is that?” “Is he really one of our Nine Stars lineage?” When the six star gates opened, the vast divine might of the stars matched Ao Gu’s phenomenon in momentum. “The Supreme Bone is still healing, must—finish this quickly!” Long Chen took a deep breath, suddenly vanishing from his spot as the star cloud beneath him trembled. “Boom” Suddenly, at Ao Gu’s location, the void exploded, massive ripples spreading, tearing the heavens and earth. Amidst the booming sounds, countless weaker experts of the Golden-winged Demon Clan spewed blood instantly. They were horrified, unable to comprehend how the force was transmitted before the ripples even reached them. “Run!” The red-haired man finally realized something was wrong, ordering the weaker ones to flee first. “Boom boom boom…” At this moment, the void kept shattering. People could only see two divine lights colliding incessantly in the void, creating star ripples. In an instant, there were dozens of collisions, with neither figure visible, and no trace of them captured, only the dazzling divine radiance akin to fireworks. “Puff puff puff…” Long Chen and Ao Gu battled fiercely, their power highly concentrated with little leakage. The ground and void weren’t excessively damaged, but the transmitted vibrations were unbearable for the demon clan’s strong, with many directly blasted apart. Escaping now was too late, as the terrifying shockwave was intangible, only resistible by enduring. In moments, five hundred Emperor Flame-level Golden-winged Demons were nearly wiped out instantly. Those with six hundred Emperor Flames struggled to hold on but showed fear and pain, barely managing. They attempted to form formations to resist, but the intangible shock was unstoppable, prompting them to flee in anger, knowing it might be their last chance. However, those with seven hundred Emperor Flames chose to stay, unwilling to miss this spectacular battle. Some even carefully observed the moves of the two, hoping to bring them back for clan study. Those with six hundred Emperor Flames soon distanced themselves from the battlefield, but upon leaving, unaware of the vine lurking like a monstrous serpent underground, silently tailing them. Until they thought they had escaped the battle zone, relaxing to recover, the vine transformed into sharp spikes, stealthily approaching from beneath. “Finally made it out alive, resisting their aftershocks consumed seventy percent of my original demon energy.” “I’m almost dried up, luckily I escaped fast enough, otherwise today I would have… ah!” The last person, lying on the ground to catch his breath, suddenly screamed as a spike pierced through his body from the ground. “Puff puff puff puff…” Simultaneously, countless spikes shot out, and these unfortunate fellows screamed in agony, not understanding what happened as they were instantly annihilated. Their cries, too distant and overshadowed by the red-haired man and others deeply engrossed in the battle, went unnoticed. They didn’t realize those who they thought had escaped were completely wiped out. “Boom” A loud noise resounded as the two vanished figures finally reappeared. “Puff” The two figures spat a mouthful of blood almost simultaneously.
