Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 6599 Mastery Over Heaven Earth

“It’s the Heavenly Devil Zither, and it’s even stronger than when Prince Chun Yang wielded it!” Startled cries rang out.

The Heavenly Devil Zither hovered above them, covered in black devil qi and roaring flames. Every string was wrapped in millions of devil souls, and they howled like countless ghouls wailing in unison.

Devil fire blazed around its frame, its killing intent so dense it made the world tremble. Perhaps this was the Heavenly Devil Zither’s true form.

“The heavenly tribulation extracted the souls of some devils and inserted them into the Heavenly Devil Zither so that it could face the Heaven Earth Cauldron. It’s clearly trying to kill Long Chen!” Tang Wan-er spat, gnashing her teeth.

Heavenly tribulation was supposed to be the world’s fairest law—the dragon gate that a fish had to leap over before becoming a dragon. After passing it, the cultivator was supposed to see a whole new world before them. If they didn’t, then their Dao faded and they died.

However, Long Chen’s heavenly tribulation had never been fair. This heavenly tribulation made that clearer than ever. It had summoned the Heavenly Devil Zither itself to kill him.

Suddenly, one of its strings quivered, and a murderous note split the sky.

A sound blade shot out like a giant crescent fang.

BOOM!

The Heaven Earth Cauldron shuddered violently. The sound blade shattered, and endless lightning runes rained down.

“The big fish has come!” Green Old Sixth shouted excitedly.

The lightning runes containing the law power of the Heaven Earth Cauldron and the Heavenly Devil Zither were devoured by a giant whirlpool formed from six light orbs.

Part of that power was absorbed by Old Sixth, and another part flowed downward.

“This law power...!” Gu Yang and the others trembled.

The lightning carried a shockingly powerful law power—one that encompassed the world itself. Through it, they glimpsed the workings of the heavens, the flow of the universe. The miraculous sensation was profound beyond words.

“Legends have it that the ten great primal chaos divine items were born with heaven and earth, bound to the workings of the nine heavens and ten lands,” Yue Zifeng said solemnly. “It seems the legends were true. Everyone, absorb as much as you can. Even if these Grand Dao laws are beyond us now, they can still lay the foundation for our future path.”

As expected of a Sword Dao genius, Yue Zifeng was the first to recognize the true value of the law power raining down. This lightning carried Grand Dao laws—something even Divine Sovereigns couldn’t touch. Only Heavenly Sovereigns could truly comprehend them.

Such an opportunity would not come again. Even if they couldn’t understand the Grand Dao laws, they had to grasp and feel them. This step would become their ladder to future breakthroughs.

Light continued raining down. Those wrapped in the blessing flame felt it merge with the law power and enter their bodies. That energy nearly moved them to tears. Deep within their souls, they could sense a new comprehension of laws.

This was the comprehension of their ancestors, not their own.

Under the clash of primal chaos divine items, ancient laws merged with their ancestors’ dying wills and were entrusted to them.

The Heavenly Devil Zither quivered. Its strings repeatedly unleashed sound blades that struck the Heaven Earth Cauldron.

An apocalyptic song started.

Two primal chaos divine items were clashing—one attacking, the other defending. With each clash, more and more lightning runes rained down. It was a stunning scene.

“Not good!” Guo Ran suddenly noticed that the Heaven Earth Cauldron’s runes were growing faint. Its aura was also changing, growing violent as well.

Yue Zifeng immediately said, “The Earth Cauldron calculated that Boss would come here for his tribulation, and that the tribulation would create imitations of the Heavenly Devil Zither and the Heaven Earth Cauldron to kill him. So the Earth Cauldron acted early before the fake cauldron manifested. By the time the tribulation noticed, it was too late. However, the Heavenly Devil Zither is grinding away its will. When that will fades, the heavenly tribulation’s will... will replace it.”

“So you mean that this Heaven Earth Cauldron is going to become an enemy soon?!”

Everyone’s expressions changed.

Yue Zifeng didn’t reply, but his grave expression said everything.

“That’s not our business. Focus on getting stronger. So what if they’re the ten primal chaos divine items? They’re just fakes made by the heavenly tribulation. We’ll beat them in a bit!” shouted Gu Yang.

Everyone nodded. Now truly wasn’t the time to worry. They had to focus on getting stronger.

The Dragonblood warriors had limitless potential. Tempering their bodies and souls took an enormous amount of energy. Most importantly, each of them possessed a dragon soul. That was like having an additional soul they needed to fill. The law power falling from the sky was the perfect nourishment.

However, no one noticed a certain phenomenon: the heavenly tribulation was still expanding and extracting energy from every direction to strengthen itself.

“Hahaha, this is a real feast! That old cauldron didn’t trick me!” Green Old Sixth laughed excitedly as it crazily devoured this energy.

The six orbs of light behind it were growing stronger and stronger—the black growing blacker, the white becoming whiter.

“Don’t worry, with Old Sixth here, just go crazy! You can provoke this tribulation even further!” Green Old Sixth shouted at Long Chen.

Moments ago, Old Sixth had been unsure it could handle all this. But now, the clash of divine items was giving it benefits beyond imagination.

Inside the nirvanic rebirth space, Long Chen’s Heaven Earth runes flickered and merged.

Suddenly, the essence runes on his forehead and palms vanished. The swirling violet and seven-color blood also faded.

Long Chen slowly opened his eyes. Heaven Earth runes flashed within his pupils, then dissolved.

“I’ve finally reached the great circle!” Long Chen exclaimed, smiling.

Just then, the Heavenly Devil Zither’s attacks grew more frantic. The Heaven Earth Cauldron was shuddering.

However, Long Chen wasn’t the slightest bit anxious. As he spread his arms, new Heaven Earth runes appeared.

When they manifested, the entire heaven region’s battlefield shuddered. Heaven and earth started to pulse along with Long Chen.

All of a sudden, Long Chen seemed to have become the master of the heaven region’s battlefield.

“So this is Heaven Earth power. Heaven and earth lie in the palm of my hand,” Long Chen muttered.

He took a deep breath, forcing down his excitement.

Long Chen formed another set of hand seals, and then pulled his hands apart. Heaven Dao runes ascended, while Earth Dao runes descended.

The runes branded themselves onto the Heaven Earth Cauldron. As Long Chen channeled Heaven Earth power, the shaking cauldron stabilized once more.

“I’ve bought myself some more time. Then next is...”

Long Chen formed new hand seals.

Dragon scales rippled across his body, and a golden Sovereign King Dragon Crown reappeared on his head.
