Chapter 6280 - Star Hegemon Body General Principles

"Damn it, my kin will surely avenge me. You creatures of the Nine Heavens are forever destined to be slaughtered like pigs and sheep..." The demon giant's bones shattered with an unwilling roar and curse. After plotting for countless years, he ultimately failed at the last moment, leaving him with deep resentment. "Zhi Zhi..." At this moment, vines shot up from the earth, entwining the shattered bones. It was Zhi Zhi taking action. Earlier, Zhi Zhi's body had been shattered, severely depleting her energy. Now was the perfect time to replenish it. Zhi Zhi gathered the bones containing divine emperor energy and dragged them into the chaotic space, preventing the divine energy from dispersing into the world. "Master," Lei Yun'er looked at the giant, her voice choked with sobs. Her eyes were filled with deep respect and endless reluctance. "I told you to leave before, so why did you come back?" The giant looked at Lei Yun'er and then at the corpses around him, his voice brimming with sorrow. "My life was saved by the master, and I will die alongside the master," Lei Yun'er said, tears streaming down her face, yet her eyes were full of pride. The giant sighed, then turned to Long Chen, who stepped forward and respectfully clasped his fists: "Greetings, Senior!" The giant looked at Long Chen, his withered eyes still gleaming with starlight, though the light was already murky. "In the lineage of the Nine Stars, such a terrifying being has emerged. Although you haven't inscribed the star formation patterns, your strength is not inferior to the Star Hegemon Body. Once you inscribe the star formation patterns and cultivate the true Star Hegemon Body, perhaps..." The giant suddenly stopped speaking, his gaze fixed on Long Chen with a hint of doubt and uncertainty. "It seems you are an anomaly within the Nine Star lineage. Unfortunately, my remaining soul is too eroded and won't last much longer. Otherwise, I'd like to know more about your past." "It's okay, I can continue to infuse you with star power!" Long Chen hurriedly said. He also wanted to learn the secrets of the Nine Star lineage from this giant, as he knew very little about his identity as a Nine Star inheritor. The giant shook his head and said, "My time is limited, and I can't waste it. Your star power is vast as the sea, endless. I've never seen such talent. Moreover, your cultivation path is completely different from mine. Although your star power is vast, its usage is rather crude, indicating that you haven't obtained the true inheritance of the Nine Star lineage. Unfortunately, with the little power I have left, I can't pass on more of the Nine Star lineage's secrets to you. I can only transmit a set of extremely important heart techniques to you. Open your anomaly, and I will impart the secret technique to you, quickly!" Hearing the giant's urging, Long Chen did not dare to delay. He immediately summoned the divine ring and star sea, focusing his mind without any distraction. A technique deemed a secret by a divine emperor was certainly extraordinary, and for Long Chen, this was the greatest opportunity. The giant saw the eight-colored divine ring behind Long Chen, and his pupils shrank as if recalling something. However, he quickly regained his composure and cast aside his distracting thoughts. "Buzz" The giant formed seals with his hands, his entire star map illuminating and finally converging at his brow, forming a projection that entered Long Chen's star sea. Within Long Chen's star sea, a projection appeared, where stars circulated, transforming into various star maps. The star maps depicted giants, divine birds, great demons, and divine dragons, constantly evolving at an extremely fast pace. In addition to various creatures, there were phenomena like the sun and moon, mountains, and rivers, all changing back and forth. The speed of these transformations was dizzying, and after half an incense stick's time, the stellar evolution finally ceased. The giant withdrew the projection, and by this time, the starlight around him had completely dimmed. He looked at Long Chen and said, "This is the cultivation guideline for the Star Hegemon Body. Since your cultivation path differs from ours, I can't teach you the details to avoid leading you astray." "Thank you, Senior!" Long Chen expressed his heartfelt gratitude. The giant shook his head and said, "We are both from the Nine Star lineage, so there's no need for thanks between us. In the past, the Star Lord created the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art and vowed to lead the beings of the Nine Heavens to break this prison of heaven and earth, paving a future for future generations. Although we failed, the Star Lord's will remains unextinguished. We all firmly believe that one day, the wishes of the Star Lord and the Pill Emperor will definitely be realized." "Star Lord, Pill Emperor? Prison of heaven and earth? Future? Senior, could you explain these to me?" Long Chen urgently asked. The giant shook his head and said, "No matter how many rumors, the truth cannot be hidden forever; no matter how thick the clouds, they cannot forever obscure the light of the stars. Compared to other sacrificed warriors of the Nine Star lineage, I am very fortunate to see a new hope. Thank you, young brother. The future of the Nine Heavens rests on you." After speaking, the giant's body completely dimmed, gradually crumbling like clay, finally dissipating into nothing. A mighty divine emperor, who fought in life and in death, could now finally rest. His departing smile was so relaxed and joyful, as if he had seen something. The fall of the giant left Long Chen's heart filled with indescribable sorrow. Why do all the heroes he knows die? He was deeply saddened, wishing he could have lived in the same era as such heroes. Gazing at the pile of the giant's remains, Long Chen recalled the tombs on the Emperor Mountain and the epitaph left behind, filling his heart with loneliness. Long Chen stood up, intending to bury the giant's body but was stopped by Lei Yun'er. She said, "The master never cared for these formalities throughout his life. Born of heaven and earth, we owe it to them. Buried within the earth, merging with the soil, nurturing grass and trees, I think he would be very happy." Hearing Lei Yun'er say this, Long Chen stopped. Lei Yun'er continued, "Great Nine Star inheritor, I must bid you farewell. I'm very glad to have had a chance encounter with such a peerless hero like you. I have engraved all my original power and lifelong inheritance in this child's soul. This is an extension of my life, hoping she can one day see a whole new world." After speaking, Lei Yun'er slowly closed her eyes, and the powerful aura around her gradually faded. "Princess... where are you?" At this moment, amidst the swirling dust, a few voices tinged with sobs came through. They were Lei Yun'er's kin. In the fierce battle earlier, they had retreated while resisting, eventually blown away by terrifying astral winds to an unknown place. Now that the great battle had ceased, they came searching, though they were already in despair from such a world-destroying fight. Long Chen bowed three times to the giant's and divine bird's bodies, then carried the unconscious Lei Yun'er, heading toward the direction of the voices.
