Nine Star Hegemon Body Art (WN)
Chapter 6210: Huge Secret

“Long Chen! I gave up the chance to ignite more Sovereign flames and directly broke through to the Divine Emperor realm—just to find you! And now, you walk right into my hands!” shouted the demonic bird.

The demonic bird’s eyes glowed like twin blood moons, its voice brimming with excitement.

“Oh, you were looking for me? Was it to thank me for buying you all so much time?” Long Chen smiled faintly, his tone ice-cold.

“Hahaha, that’s right. I really have to thank you for buying us time.” The demonic bird laughed wildly, confident in its own power. “So I’ll return the favor: hand over the Heaven Earth Cauldron, and I’ll leave your corpse intact!”

“One hundred and eighty-three Sovereign flames…” Long Chen muttered, shaking his head in pity. “What a waste. If you’d ignited just seventeen more, hitting two hundred, your power would have undergone a complete transformation after breaking through to the Divine Emperor realm. But you couldn’t wait.”

The heaven region’s battlefield was filled with the lingering wills of fallen experts, and it had formed a special karmic laws area. Simply put, it was the best place to ignite more Sovereign flames. In the nine heavens, many people had reached their limits in terms of Sovereign flames. But here, they could continue condensing more flames without limits.

To abandon that advantage and force a breakthrough to become a Divine Emperor… it was absurd.

“Foolish fellow, what do you know?” sneered the demonic bird disdainfully.

Long Chen asked, “While I was trapped in the Ten Worlds Diagram, did you hear the voices of the five Sovereigns?”

“I did. So what? Do I owe you thanks?” mocked the demonic bird.

The demonic bird’s wings twitched slightly. Countless runes were quietly forming in the air behind it.

Ignoring its stealthy movements, Long Chen said, “Then it’s a pity. You heard their wisdom, but you didn’t understand. The Human Emperor realm is the ideal state for your demon race to comprehend the Heavenly Daos. Only in human form can you refine the Dao and condense more Sovereign flames. Now, you’ve missed that chance.”

“Hahaha!” The demonic bird laughed. “You’re the foolish one! I needed some time to condense my Divine Emperor runes since I only just made my breakthrough. If you had fled immediately, I wouldn’t have been able to catch up to you. But now, you’ve missed your chance! All that awaits you is death!”

It spread its wings, and the aura of a Divine Emperor merged with its Sovereign flames, producing an entirely new flame.

“My Sovereign flames can only be considered above average amongst all the heavenly geniuses. There are stronger monsters out there. Only by making my breakthrough now can I stand a chance. Hehe, it seems that my choice is correct. Before this, I wouldn’t be qualified to challenge you. But now—”

“But now you still wouldn’t,” interjected Long Chen firmly.

“Hmph! Now that I’ve cast off the shackles of human form, I can unleash my true strength! The human shape was a curse your filthy human race forced upon us. Today, I’ll show you what a true demon is capable of!”

Its claws sliced through the air, reaching Long Chen almost instantaneously.

BOOM!

The space where Long Chen had been exploded, transforming into dust.

This demonic bird’s speed was truly incredible, but its attack still missed. The next moment, Long Chen appeared in the sky.

“Decent speed. But it’s not enough,” said Long Chen apathetically.

“How long can you keep acting arrogant?!”

The demonic bird roared and spread its wings. Tens of thousands of divine feathers transformed into blazing arrows, blanketing the sky in a hail of death.

“Only after escaping the human form can the demon race awaken its innate divine arts! My core energy is now dozens of times greater than before! My power is endless! Hand over the Heaven Earth Cauldron, and I’ll consider leaving your corpse intact!” roared the demonic bird.

In response, Long Chen started to walk toward the demonic bird, not dodging the attack.

An invisible barrier shimmered in front of him. Every arrow vanished the moment it touched it.

“What?!”

Finally, the demonic bird’s expression changed. This divine ability wasn’t just immensely powerful—it was endless. It could rapidly drain its target’s energy.

Its goal wasn’t to kill Long Chen right away, but to wear him down until he was completely spent, making it easy to capture him alive.

After all, Long Chen didn’t just have the Earth Cauldron—he had to be hiding other treasures as well. The demonic bird was determined to claim them all.

However, the attack it had been so proud of had no effect on Long Chen whatsoever.

“Damn it! How dare you look at me like that?! Fine, I’ll kill you and get it over with!” roared the demonic bird, stopping the torrent of feathers.

A giant bird made of divine light suddenly flew out of its body, charging straight at Long Chen.

This was one of its innate divine abilities. This projection rapidly absorbed the power of heaven and earth, gathering the power of the surrounding laws into its body.

The divine bird projection slammed into Long Chen and exploded. The impact sent ripples through the air, leveling the surrounding mountains.

But when the dust settled, Long Chen stood there indifferently, completely unscathed.

“This is your so-called power?” asked Long Chen.

“You—”

The demonic bird’s face twisted in disbelief. Without hesitation, it flapped its wings and shot backward, choosing to flee.

However, just as it retreated, flower petals appeared in the sky, forming a wall. The smashed into the wall and bounced back, crashing to the ground in a daze.

Just as it crawled up, a foot stamped down on its large hand, pushing it into the ground.

“Master Long Chen! I was wrong! Please, I beg you, spare me! I have a huge secret to tell you!” the demonic bird cried out in terror.
