Chapter 6301 - The Sign of Minor Completion of the Tyrant Body

Kill! Ao Gu roared, shaking the heavens. His heart was filled with rage as he stepped out with the Nebula Step. Each step he took in the void created vast ripples of stars. Ao Gu's figure flickered several times, shifting left and right. Above the Nine Heavens, dozens of ripples simultaneously blossomed, making the entire sky resemble a starry dome. However, within this mysterious and magnificent starry dome, endless killing intent was hidden. Ao Gu's figure moved at an extreme speed. "Whoosh!" Ao Gu suddenly appeared before Long Chen, moving so fast it was dizzying. Countless powerful experts gasped in shock. His speed was so swift that it left no time for a reaction. "Whoosh!" However, Long Chen let out a sharp shout, his entire body swirling with starlight. A fist cut through the void, striking fiercely at Ao Gu. Yet quickly, people exclaimed in shock. Long Chen's punch, halfway through, unexpectedly turned. He spun around, striking fiercely behind him. Everyone was baffled. With Long Chen's turn, didn't he expose his back to Ao Gu? Wasn't this akin to courting death? "Boom!" However, with an explosive sound, Long Chen's punch pierced through the void. Ao Gu's figure emerged, struck in the chest by Long Chen's fist, and was sent flying backward. "What?" People were aghast. They only then realized that the Ao Gu charging at Long Chen earlier was merely an afterimage. Ao Gu appeared in front of Long Chen and instantly flashed behind him. Due to his immense speed, his previous figure lingered momentarily in the void, and in that brief instant, he had already appeared behind Long Chen. Long Chen's earlier punching motion was merely to confuse Ao Gu, making him boldly attack from behind. "This reaction speed is incredible!" Long Chen's punch sent Ao Gu flying, and only then did some powerful individuals grasp the subtlety of it. Long Chen's punch landed on Ao Gu's chest. Though Ao Gu was knocked back, Long Chen's wrist felt as if it were broken. The counterforce was astonishing. One must know, Long Chen possessed the strength to challenge a Divine Emperor Artifact barehanded. Was this Star Battle Armor even stronger than a Divine Emperor Artifact? After being knocked back by Long Chen's punch, Ao Gu retreated several steps in the void before stabilizing himself. His eyes grew even sharper. The move he prided himself on was instantly broken, making his face burn with embarrassment. Ao Gu glanced at his chest, where a faint fist imprint was slowly fading, and he snorted coldly, "Is this your strength? Weak as an ant." Long Chen gazed coldly at Ao Gu, remaining silent. His eyes stayed fixed on Ao Gu's armor, carefully observing the changes in the star map on it. This Star Battle Armor was so powerful that it set Long Chen's heart aflame. If he could also condense a Star Battle Armor, who knows how much his power would soar? Seemingly seeing through Long Chen's thoughts, Ao Gu sneered, "Want to steal the Star Battle Armor? What a pipe dream. The Star Battle Armor is a symbol of the minor completion of the Star Hegemon Body. It contains endless transformations and requires both mind techniques and mantras to validate each other. Even with a master teacher guiding, among ten thousand, there might not be one who can cultivate it. And among those ten thousand who cultivate, many have died from mistakes causing their bodies to explode. You think you can learn it with just a glance? What a colossal joke. Long Chen, if you kneel now and confess, I can spare your life. I will take you before the Star Lord for judgment." As he spoke, Ao Gu's tone shifted, seemingly offering Long Chen a chance. However, the ruthless look deep in his eyes was chilling. What kind of person was Long Chen? How could he not hear the insincerity in those words? Ao Gu wasn't offering him a lifeline but was intent on making his life worse than death. From the depths of Ao Gu's eyes, Long Chen saw intense jealousy. This touch of jealousy cut Long Chen to the bone. He looked at Ao Gu, speaking calmly: "Earlier, you mentioned the Star Lord's son. Then, it was the Star Lord himself. Do you already see him as the true master of the Nine Stars, able to dictate the fate of all in the Nine Star lineage?" Ao Gu sneered, "Of course. Before the Star Lord's son, with my strength, I am like an ant. With his talent, he will one day become the new Star Lord, surpassing even the previous Star Lord. Why not call him the Star Lord now?" "He wants to be the Star Lord, but did you ask if others agreed?" Long Chen said meaningfully. As expected, Ao Gu, not the sharpest tool in the shed, boasted arrogantly, "Hahaha, a mere Yellow-grade successor like you dares ask such a question? With the Star Lord's talent and strength, unifying the Nine Star lineage is just a matter of time." Hearing Ao Gu's words, for the first time, a trace of relief appeared on Long Chen's face: "I see. Besides that Star Lord's son, there seem to be other branches in the Nine Star lineage." Ao Gu's expression changed instantly. Even he, not the brightest, understood that Long Chen was deliberately trying to make him talk. "I offered you a way out, but you insist on courting death. Since that's the case, I will give you no more chances. You brought this on yourself." Ao Gu's face darkened, filled with killing intent. "Offer me a chance? Do you have that qualification?" Upon learning that there were other branches in the Nine Star lineage, Long Chen felt an immense relief. The previous anger and sadness slowly faded away. This meant there was still hope for the Nine Star lineage. Long Chen returned to his calm and composed demeanor, with the confidence of a strategist reappearing on his face. Seeing Long Chen seemingly breaking free from a curse, Ming Yu and others couldn't help but feel a bit excited. Long Chen had regained his fighting spirit. Ao Gu snorted coldly, "Ignorant fool, you've already witnessed the power of the Star Battle Armor. If it doesn't make you despair, I'll tell you another piece of information. The Star Battle Armor is a symbol of the minor completion of the Hegemon Body, but that doesn't mean the minor completion only has the Star Battle Armor as its divine ability. As a Nine Star successor, you stand in the way of the Star Lord's rise. Fine, considering we're both from the Nine Star lineage, I'll make sure you die convinced. You, a lowly successor, will perish in despair! Eight Star Battle Body—activate!" "Boom!" Amidst the roaring heavens and earth, people saw eight massive stars, resembling suns, appearing in the heavens above. Their blazing radiance pierced the eyes like swords, making it impossible to look directly at them. At the same time, a vast divine might descended as if a true god had arrived. Ao Gu's terrifying aura surged once more. "Boom, boom, boom..." The earth trembled, collapsed, and cracked. The Shadow Bat and Golden Winged Heavenly Demon clans were horrified to find the distance between them and the battlefield rapidly widening. They hadn't moved, but the earth was "flowing." The vast divine might forced countless Golden Winged Heavenly Demon experts to prostrate themselves, unable to rise. Only a few dozen powerful individuals could barely withstand the terrifying pressure. "What level of power is this?" The red-haired man and others looked on in terror at the figure surrounded by eight stars, their fear piercing their very souls.
