Long Chen crossed his arms, forcibly blocking the punch from the Nine-Star disciple. His arms slowly lowered, revealing Long Chen's face.
Long Chen's gaze was filled with excitement and sharpness. Although his clothes were torn and his body was covered in blood, looking utterly disheveled, his eyes were filled with delight.
"I see, you're using his power to awaken your own star power." Seeing this, the Qiankun Cauldron finally understood Long Chen's intention.
It couldn't help but marvel at Long Chen's madness; sometimes, this guy would come up with some truly terrifying ideas.
At first, Long Chen deliberately suffered heavy injuries from the Nine-Star disciples, even putting himself on the brink of death, aiming to awaken the Nine-Star power to automatically protect his master.
It could be said that this was a wild gamble. If Long Chen's Nine-Star power hadn't been awakened by the power of the Nine-Star disciples, he would have been beaten to death without even a chance to fight back.
However, judging from what he saw so far, Long Chen had made the right bet. He was repeatedly struck hard by the power of the Nine Stars, which invaded his body and continuously damaged his bodily functions.
Thus, he awakened his own Nine-Star Power. Most importantly, Long Chen's Nine-Star Power began absorbing the opponent's power to strengthen himself.
This was Long Chen's ultimate goal. It was his first time fighting a Nine-Star disciple, and it was a direct lineage of the Nine-Star lineage. For Long Chen, this was the best opportunity to glimpse the secret of the Nine-Star Lineage.
Long Chen only had a superficial understanding of the Nine Star Overlord Body Technique. He couldn't possibly interpret it through the techniques, spells, or movements of the Nine-Star disciples—that was simply impossible.
However, he could use his own nine-star power to absorb the opponent's nine-star power, gradually exploring the mysteries of the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique.
As the opponent's power invaded, Long Chen's Nine-Star Power was awakened and began to absorb the opponent's strength. At that moment, Long Chen nearly shouted in excitement.
Because as the opponent's power was absorbed, Long Chen sensed the most primal aura of the Nine Star Power. At that moment, he felt like a lost soul who had finally found a broad and broad path.
As the opponent's power was devoured, Long Chen seemed to leap from a small river into the sea in an instant. He saw a vast, boundless world and glimpsed secrets he had never seen before.
"Sure enough, I still took many detours, but fortunately, I was heading in the right direction.
Although there were slight deviations, fortunately they could be corrected in time now, so it was never too late. Long
Chen looked at his arms, feeling the ever-changing star power within him. At that moment, he felt an unprecedented confidence, as if he possessed the entire sky.
Long Chen blocked the Nine Star disciple's attack. The disciple did not attack immediately; instead, he slowly pressed his palms together, interlocked his thumbs, and extended his index and middle fingers to form a hand seal.
"Nine Stars also have seal techniques?"
Long Chen was startled, because he had summoned his battle body, but never considered that the Nine Stars also possessed seal techniques.
"Buzz!"
The Seven-Star Divine Diagram behind him trembled violently, and then the backs of both hands also appeared with the Seven Star Divine Diagram. The moment the Seven Star Divine Diagram appeared, Long Chen's hair stood on end. With a sharp shout, he struck with an elbow strike aimed at his side.
At that moment, the Nine-Star disciple was still in front of Long Chen. The moment Long Chen struck with his elbow, the Nine-Star disciple appeared at Long Chen's side, and Long Chen landed an elbow squarely on Long Chen's fist.
With a loud explosion, Long Chen's elbow throbbed with pain, and his bone was shattered. The fist of the Nine-Star disciple was even more terrifying than a sacred weapon.
Long Chen was shocked. The nine-star disciple's aura remained unchanged, but after the seven-star pattern appeared on his palm, his power had undergone a qualitative transformation.
"Whoosh!"
The Nine-Star disciple gave Long Chen no chance to catch his breath. His five fingers hooked like a hook, aiming straight for Long Chen's throat. His strike was fierce and forceful, almost touching Long Chen's skin as soon as he struck.
"Sss!"
Long Chen dodged with all his might, and the Nine-Star disciple's claw grabbed Long Chen's shoulder, forcibly tearing off a chunk of flesh.
Long Chen grimaced in pain. Seeing the Nine-Star disciple charging again, he gritted his teeth and actually blocked the opponent's palm head-on with his chest.
"Pfft!"
The Nine-Star disciple pierced Long Chen's chest with a palm. This strike was simply beyond what flesh and blood could withstand. If it were anyone else, being hit by this palm would have exploded into a mist of blood.
"Whoosh" Long Chen's
chest was pierced, and he was sent flying. He was severely injured. Even with the chaotic space present, he couldn't heal such terrifying injuries in an instant.
The Nine-Star disciple showed no mercy; with a flicker, he slammed another punch down hard at Long Chen's face.
Facing the deadly blow from the Nine-Star disciple, Long Chen gritted his teeth and threw a punch, causing his arm to instantly turn into a starry light.
"Oh no,"
Long Chen deliberately took a slap, hoping to use the power of the Nine Stars to remember the Nine Star disciple's earlier move and copy the old one.
But after his strike, he instinctively summoned the Star Arm, a move from the Galaxy and Firmament Technique, while the Nine-Star disciple's move was something he couldn't summon at all.
"Pfft!"
Long Chen let out a painful groan, his entire arm flesh shattered, his arm bones cracked, nearly shattered by the shock.
"Whoosh."
At that moment, the Nine-Star successor threw another punch.
"Calm down, calm down, carefully recall that seal technique."
At this moment, Long Chen was in a mortal crisis. If he couldn't withstand this move, he might be killed by a single punch.
At that moment, the world instantly lost its original sound, and the Nine-Star disciple's punch slowed down, leaving only the stars on the dome still flickering.
Long Chen suddenly closed his eyes. In his mind, the process of the Nine-Star disciple forming hand seals surfaced. The movements were simple, without any profound meaning.
This action replayed in Long Chen's mind, and he suddenly noticed that at the moment the Nine-Star disciple formed the seals, the stars in the sky were flickering rapidly.
"I understand!"
Long Chen suddenly exclaimed. Others form seals to draw upon the power of the Heavenly Dao, but the Nine-Star disciple forms seals to draw upon the power of the stars across the heavens.
Previously, his attention had been focused on the seal techniques of the Nine-Star disciples, neglecting the changes in the stars above the dome.
Thinking of this, Long Chen suddenly understood. Although he had never learned to form seals, he had practiced the Galaxy and Firmament Technique, learned to draw stars into his body, and knew the positions and changes of the stars in the heavens.
Seeing this scene, he immediately understood the situation, but it was too late to perform it now.
"Whoosh!"
A thunder shield appeared before Long Chen. At this moment, his life was hanging by a thread, and he had no choice but to summon Lei Ling'er to assist in battle.
"Boom
With a loud explosion, Lei Ling'er and the shield she summoned were both shattered by a single punch. The power contained in that punch from the Nine-Star disciple was unimaginable; even with Lei Ling'er's terror, she couldn't withstand the blow.
However, Lei Ling'er's resistance bought Long Chen precious breathing room. He rapidly retreated, and with the help of the chaotic space, his arm had fully recovered, and the large hole in his chest was rapidly healing.
"Whoosh!"
Long Chen formed hand seals with both hands, his movements exactly like the Nine-Star disciples. Behind him, countless stars began to light up in a regular pattern within the sea of stars.
"Buzz"—
a seven-star pattern also appeared on Long Chen's hands.
With a loud explosion, two fists embodying different Seven-Star Divine Diagrams collided.
