Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5099 Devil Creatures Appear

A lightning sea remained within heaven and earth, turbulent and violent. Within it, wild waves of lightning crashed against each other, emitting ear-piercing explosive sounds.

Clad in a violet dress, Lei Linger stood in the air, looking like a lightning goddess who had descended upon the world. As soon as she joined the fray, the Violet Lightning Divine Phoenixes were wiped out, not even having a chance to resist.

Lei Linger hadn’t used any magical arts or divine abilities; it was purely the weight of her thunderforce crushing them. There was no technique to speak of. This barbaric power was limited to only pure thunderforce.

Staring at this sea of lightning, Long Chen was shocked. In a short time, Lei Linger’s thunderforce had grown to an absolutely terrifying level. This lightning sea was her domain, and within it, even Heavenly Chosens didn’t have the ability to resist.

Suddenly, a streak of violet lightning shot through the lightning sea, and giant divine phoenixes appeared, unleashing waves of violet light and powerful auras that made Long Chen jump. He actually thought that these Heavenly Chosens had been turned into puppets by Lei Linger.

However, upon closer inspection, Long Chen realized that the phoenixes were condensations of lightning runes. They didn’t have any souls.

One of those divine phoenixes flew into the air and spread its wings, transforming its lightning feathers into millions of sharp swords that rained down into the lightning sea. Another divine phoenix opened its mouth, shooting a lightning spear that tore through the web of lightning swords. It was a wild and sharp attack that even impressed Long Chen.

As these divine phoenixes displayed their magical arts and divine abilities, Long Chen realized that Lei Linger was replicating their innate runes after devouring them. This way, she could steal the techniques of the Violet Lightning Divine Phoenix race.

All kinds of lightning divine abilities clashed in the lightning sea. It was an awe-striking sight. Lei Linger formed hand seals as she rapidly learned these techniques.

Long Chen guarded Lei Linger patiently, but he could barely contain his excitement. In such a short period, Huo Linger had gained the innate divine abilities of the Golden Crow Totems, and while Lei Linger couldn’t do the sthing, she was taking notes from Huo Linger.

The number of lightning techniques Lei Linger had was always pitifully low. After all, the divine abilities she had learned in the mortal world couldn’t be used in the immortal world. Aside from the divine abilities she used with Long Chen and Huo Linger, she didn’t have many techniques to rely on.

She couldn't compare with Huo Linger in that regard, but today, she finally had a chance to learn slightning techniques, and she cherished this opportunity.

The Violet Lightning Divine Phoenix race was an extremely ancient species with countless divine abilities. These techniques were all terrifying and ancient, and now, Lei Linger had the chance to acquire them.

However, Lei Linger only had a short tbefore the wills of these phoenixes faded. She quickly replicated their divine abilities, knowing that once their wills fully faded, those divine abilities would no longer appear.

In just a short time, the Violet Lightning Divine Phoenixes faded away. With her lesson ended, Lei Linger opened her eyes, feeling a mix of delight and regret.

She was delighted that she had gained over ten terrifying divine abilities, but regretful that these abilities would only be considered scratching the surface compared to those of the Heavenly Chosens. Due to her limited time, she was only able to learn this much.

“Big brother Long Chen...”

When the sea of lightning vanished, Lei Linger threw herself into Long Chen’s embrace excitedly and said, “Starting today, I can also protect you!”

Lei Linger held onto Long Chen’s waist tightly, shaking with excitement. Long Chen then rubbed her cheek warmly.

Whether it was Lei Linger or Huo Linger, they were truly caring. Their thoughtfulness made Long Chen’s heart ache. He had never wanted to obtain anything from them; he only wanted them to grow up healthy and escape the fate of spiritual bodies—of always being under someone’s thumb.

However, they were constantly thinking of ways to strengthen themselves, all to protect him. This moved him deeply and made him feel guilty. To put it frankly, this desire was born from his own weakness. Lei Linger and Huo Linger had seen him gamble his life countless times in extrdanger, and that feeling of powerlessness drove them to constantly strengthen themselves.

Long Chen kissed Lei Linger’s forehead and said, “Big brother believes in you!”

Hearing that encouragement, Lei Linger grew even more excited. She immediately returned to the primal chaos space and continued fighting with the lightning dragons inside. She wanted to subdue the lightning will from the six-vein Heaven Saint.

Previously, she had only been able to fight them with brute force. However, now that she had learned over ten new divine abilities of the Violet Lightning Divine Phoenix race, she could fare much better. After all, her combat power was now several times greater.

Long Chen was also excited. This time, Lei Linger and Huo Linger were truly standing on their own.

Just as he was filled with happiness, he heard a low growl. Long Chen looked over to see a mass of black creatures swarming over the land.

“They must be the devil creatures of the Heavenly FlDevil Domain,” Long Chen wondered, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

These devil creatures had two legs and six spider-like arms. Instead of hands, they had sharp, barbed bone blades, many of which were still dripping with blood and flesh. It seemed that they had just slaughtered shuman experts. As they charged over, Long Chen saw that their heads were slender, with protrusions at the back. While their sharp teeth were menacing, they looked weird because they had no eyes.

Opening their mouths, they emitted ear-piercing screams. Their sharp teeth were coated with a dark blue liquid, and even at this distance, Long Chen could smell them.

Their auras were weird, so there was no way to judge them according to the human race’s cultivation standards. However, Long Chen’s intuition told him their power ranged between three star and five star Doyens.

Of course, that was only in terms of simple power. With their venomous teeth and blades, a five star Doyen might fare well in a one-on-one battle against them.

Furthermore, these endless devil creatures formed a devil tide. Even a Heavenly Chosen would meet their end if surrounded by them. While others would instantly flee from such a sight, Long Chen stood his ground, awaiting their arrival.

The tide of devil creatures quickly reached Long Chen, surrounding and pouncing on him.

Just then, Long Chen raised his head and roared. A sacred dragon cry erupted, transforming into a surging qi wave that blasted out in every direction.
