Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5257 Starry Sky Battle Robe

Long Chen took a deep breath. Previously, only his palm was covered in starlight, but suddenly, light flared all over his body. It was like he was now draped in a Starry Sky Battle Robe.

With this new battle robe, Long Chen felt a surge of heat in his Dantian, and his clump of Root Qi suddenly expanded. The violet qi in his starry sea boiled, and an immense amount of astral energy flowed through his veins.

Even as the Earth Devil unleashed his full-power attack, Long Chen remained calm. He raised his palm once more, his movements steady just like before.

“You arrogant fool, die!” roared the Earth Devil, enraged by Long Chen’s indifference.

His fist smashed into Long Chen’s palm. The impact caused an explosion of light as the two forces collided. Yet, Long Chen stood unmoved, his hair merely fluttering in the resulting breeze. He had blocked the full strength of a two-vein Emperor with ease.

“What?!”

The surrounding Earth Devils were all shocked, unable to believe what they had just witnessed. Despite pouring everything into his attack, the Earth Devil failed to even scratch Long Chen. He was both shocked and furious, feeling a crushing sense of helplessness. 

The Earth Devil roared in frustration as the two devil runes on his forehead pulsed, pushing his power to its absolute limit.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Long Chen didn’t even notice the Earth Devil’s furious appearance. His focus was entirely on the Starry Sky Battle Robe that had mysteriously manifested. This robe was unlike anything he had ever seen. His body was now wrapped in astral energy, but instead of the usual illusory aura, it felt like a real, tangible cloth, with substance and weight. The effect was startling, even to him.

Sensing it carefully, Long Chen found that this Starry Sky Battle Robe was similar to the Dragon Blood Battle Armor. His astral energy was pouring through every inch of his body, and he could freely control it.

As Long Chen charged ahead, leaving the battle to the Dragonblood warriors, they swiftly began cutting down the Human Emperors. Though the army of devil creatures seemed endless, the Human Emperors were not that many. Despite their tough bodies, the Dragonblood warriors quickly identified their fatal weak point—their butt.

No one knew which pervert discovered it first, but things becmuch easier after they did. One warrior would distract the target, while another would exploit this vulnerability to deliver a lethal blow.

With Guo Ran, Xia Chen, Yue Zifeng, Bai Shishi, and the others having cleaned up the Human Emperors, the rest of the devil creatures weren’t able to threaten anyone, so the Dragonblood warriors rushed over.

As they finished cleaning up, they saw Long Chen standing amidst the chaos, withstanding a two-vein Emperor’s full-power attack as if it were nothing. His glowing Starry Sky Battle Robe made him look like a deity, effortlessly holding back the enraged Earth Devil. With the furious Earth Devil and his contorted face as a contrast, he appeared even more handsome.

Bai Shishi felt her heart stir as she watched Long Chen. His appearance was as striking as the first tshe had seen him—completely unrivaled in battle, exuding an irresistible charm. Who could resist his appearance? He seemed completely unrivaled in this state.

In this world where the weak were prey to the strong, power exuded the greatest charm. Man or woman—it didn’t matter—no one could resist this kind of charm.

Furthermore, Long Chen’s Starry Sky Battle Robe was truly dashing. Seeing it, Guo Ran was particularly moved. He wanted to make a set of battle robes like this for himself.

If the Dragon Blood Battle Armor represented a wild domineeringness, then this Starry Sky Battle Robe added a layer of grace and wonder on top of it.

Even Yue Zifeng, who had never cared about these things, couldn’t help being moved by the appearance of the Starry Sky Battle Robe.

However, Long Chen wasn’t thinking about appearances; his attention was on the clump of fire in his Dantian. It was the size of a fist, giving off light fluctuations.

These subtle waves, while barely noticeable, resonated with the stars, causing his Starry Sky Battle Robe to ripple like the tide.

At that moment, Long Chen felt an indescribable connection to the world around him. The flow of the Grand Dao was within him, and everything felt both mystical and seamless.

At this moment, Bai Xiaole shouted, “Boss, watch out!” 

The Earth Devil had taken advantage of the distraction to reach out toward Long Chen’s stomach. His sharp claws stabbed forward—only to be met by the Starry Sky Battle Robe. In an instant, the Earth Devil’s fingernails shattered, and his hand burst into blood. The robe remained unharmed, gently fluttering as if nothing had happened. 

Both friend and foe were left speechless. A two-vein Emperor’s attack had not only failed but had injured the attacker. Long Chen’s defense was beyond belief.

Long Chen noticed that when the Earth Devil’s fingernails made contact with the cloth, the Root Qi in his Dantian suddenly contracted. Then the elder’s nails were shattered.

“What? A self-defense mechanism?” Long Chen thought, genuinely surprised.

In truth, Long Chen could have blocked or dodged the Earth Devil’s attack, but he wanted to see what would happen. How would the Starry Sky Battle Robe react? However, he hadn’t expected such an automatic defense. Furthermore, its defensive power was shockingly powerful.

Long Chen was filled with excitement at the discovery.

“Die!” The Earth Devil, now consumed by rage, drew a bone blade infused with devil qi. He swung it toward Long Chen’s neck with a savage roar.

The blade screamed through the air, its edge sharp enough to tear through the void itself. But Long Chen didn’t dodge. Instead, he tilted his head slightly, ensuring that the blade would strike him directly on the neck.

The Earth Devil was stunned by Long Chen’s brazen actions. Guo Ran and the other Dragonblood warriors, too, cried out in alarm.

“What!?"
