Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts-Chapter 5911 Sneak Attack

A willow leaf tore through space, carrying them back to the Undying Demon Forest at full speed.

However, Long Chen stood at the front with his brows tightly knit. His unsettling silence made everyone else nervous.

Unable to hold it anymore, Chu Yao finally broke the silence. “Long Chen, what’s wrong?”

The experts of the Undying race—young and old—were now thoroughly convinced of Long Chen’s strength. He had won them over in battle. But even after such a resounding victory, Long Chen didn’t seem the slightest bit happy. His expression made them all worried.

Turning to face Liu Xihua, Long Chen asked, “Miss Xihua, that altar...”

Liu Xihua glanced at those around her. After a moment of hesitation, she said, “Since you’ve brought it up, there’s no avoiding it. That altar’s spatial gate... it was unnatural. Its aura gave me chills.”

Even Liu Xihua had sensed something wrong. The others were stunned. What kind of secret lay behind that gate?

Long Chen slowly said, “From the moment I saw Yuanshan, I knew something was off. He had two souls. They weren’t sealed or in conflict—they were cooperating. That intrigued me. So I pressured him, step by step, until he had to use his full strength. When his blood and soul ignited, I sensed the aura of a foreign devil... and the Lightning Blaze Spider King.

“I provoked him further until he summoned the Lightning Blaze Spider King. Then, I used my violet blood to erase his spiritual mark, letting the spider devour him. You could say that he might have been raising a devil inside himself. But that aura... it wasn’t from the Sovereign Emperor Heaven.”

Liu Xihua’s eyes widened. “You think the Devil Eye Water Lily race... is colluding with foreign devils?”

Long Chen nodded gravely. “That’s my suspicion.”

A collective shudder swept through the group. Those foreign devils had nearly brought the nine heavens and ten lands to ruin. To collude with them now... Was the Devil Eye Water Lily race courting death?

If the outside world learned of this, they would be hunted to extinction.

The Undying race’s experts thought of that altar again. The idea that it might be a portal connected to a foreign devil plane sent goosebumps crawling across their skin.

“That doesn’t make sense,” Liu Ruyan interjected. “If that were true, why would they let us leave? Shouldn’t they have tried to kill us all?”

Everyone silently agreed. If such a secret were discovered, the Devil Eye Water Lily race wouldn’t hesitate to silence them. Why return the Undying Eye and let them go?

“Senior, check the Undying Eye. See if they’ve done anything to it,” said Long Chen.

“Alright.”

Although Liu Xihua had confirmed that there was no problem with the Undying Eye, she carefully examined it once more.

After an incense stick’s time, Liu Xihua was sure there was nothing wrong with the Undying Eye.

“Long Chen, maybe you’re overthinking it,” said Chu Yao. “Using a Heaven Devil’s blood and soul isn’t unprecedented in the nine heavens and ten lands. Many races with devil bloodlines have experimented with foreign devils, trying to understand them and find ways to counter them. Even in the Undying Demon Forest, we have corpses and puppets of Heaven Devils. Perhaps that altar is one of their experiments.”

Long Chen nodded with a bitter smile. “Perhaps I am being too suspicious. Your guess is reasonable. I just can’t think of any reason why Little Qiang-zi would let us go.”

Hearing Long Chen use Lian Sanqiang’s nickname again, even Liu Xihua cracked a smile. This fellow really didn’t take that terrifying fellow seriously.

Everyone gradually relaxed. Thinking back to that battle, they grew excited and tried to brand every detail of it into their memories.

“Boss Long Chen, you’ve shown us what true human experts are like. We’ll do our best to follow your example,” said a Sovereign sprout.

Long Chen shook his head. “Don’t just imitate the human race. Learn from our strengths, yes—but be willing to learn from anyone stronger than you, even if it’s your worst enemy. Any power, as long as you can control it, becomes your power.”

After Long Chen corrected this Sovereign sprout, he glanced at Liu Minghao.

“You lost to Qifeng not because of bad luck, but because of poor judgment and your own ego”

“Boss Long Chen, please teach me!” said Liu Minghao without hesitation.

“When Qifeng summoned the Lightning Blaze Spider, your instincts told you to kill the spider first, right?”

“Yes.”

Everyone was stunned. The Lightning Blaze Spider was terrifying, its body as tough as rock and devoid of weak points. How could anyone even think of targeting it first when Qifeng was next to it?

They had all seen Liu Minghao’s battle strategy, and there was nothing for them to pick at. So, why would his instincts tell him to eliminate the Lightning Blaze Spider first?

Long Chen explained, “Your instincts told you to kill the Lightning Blaze Spider, but your judgment told you to eliminate Qifeng. Ultimately, you chose to trust your judgment. Remember—your instincts are shaped through countless life-and-death battles. They don’t lie. The Lightning Blaze Spider’s movements were inflexible, so once you managed to read its techniques, it would be unable to pose a threat to your life. If you had trusted your instincts and exploited the flaws in their coordination, you could have turned one of their attacks on the other and eliminated them with ease. With your combat experience, I believe it wouldn’t be too difficult.”

Everyone immediately thought of how Long Chen had used the Lightning Blaze Spider King to kill Yuanshan.

Long Chen continued, “Also, you figured out how to merge clones into one and rapidly boost your power. But why stop there? Take another step forward.”

“Another step forward?” Liu Minghao asked, looking confused.

“You’re not from the human race. You’ve learned hand seals and comprehended the secret of multiplying your power. Why restrain yourself and unleash such a clumsy World Extermination Flame Lotus?”

“I...” Liu Minghao was baffled—along with everyone else.

Suddenly, thirteen heaven veins appeared behind Long Chen. Each dragon opened its mouth, and thirteen flame lotuses bloomed.

Seeing that, Liu Minghao slapped his thigh and nearly dropped to his knees. He slammed his palms together, summoning an enormous willow tree. Every leaf ignited, transforming into countless miniature flame lotuses.

“Well done.”

Long Chen gave him a thumbs-up. This fellow really had a high comprehension ability.

At this moment, everyone understood what Long Chen meant. Liu Minghao’s technique of merging clones was impressive, but in Long Chen’s eyes, it was still limited.

After all, the Undying race didn’t need to copy human techniques—they had their own natural strengths. They just needed to embrace them, taking what was useful from the human race.

That kind of innovation had long been suppressed by the Undying race’s rigid traditions. But with Long Chen’s guidance, those chains were shattered.

“You can only walk as far as your dreams reach,” said Long Chen with a smile. “What you need now... is to give wings to your dreams.”

“Many thanks, Boss Long Chen!” Liu Minghao bowed again, then immediately went into seclusion to develop his own divine abilities.

The others followed suit. Long Chen’s guidance had opened a new world to them. Like wild horses released onto a boundless plain, they galloped toward their potential.

In the Seven Treasure Space, they had faced death repeatedly and seen countless divine arts.

Long Chen’s words echoed in their minds: “If you can learn it—it’s yours.”

How foolish they had been, sitting atop a mountain of treasures without using them.

Now, everything had changed. They were like starving bandits excavating an untouched gold mine.

Occasional flickers of light came from the meditating disciples. That was the birth of divine ability runes. They were in the midst of creating their own divine abilities, using new runes to record them and merge them into their blood and soul.

Liu Xihua watched with a warm smile. This future son-in-law of hers had brought the Undying race an unexpected harvest.

The elders were also emotional. Just from the children’s auras, they could sense how fast they were growing.

Grow and become strong. Once you are strong enough, I can bring my wife away!

Long Chen smiled, watching new runes appear around Liu Minghao and the others. As long as they were strong enough, Liu Changtian couldn’t stop him from taking Liu Ruyan away.

...

Several days later, Long Chen and the others returned to the Undying Demon Forest.

The moment they arrived, a gentle force wrapped around them, drawing them to the palace gates.

“Sovereign Lord!” exclaimed Liu Xihua.

Liu Changtian was already there, personally waiting for them. The rest of the Undying race’s higher-ups had also gathered—not just to welcome them back, but to see the return of the Undying Eye.

When the Undying Eye was placed in his hands, Liu Changtian’s body trembled with emotion.

“I can finally rebuild the Undying Scepter...” said Liu Changtian.

But just then, a chilling voice echoed through the air, shaking the heavens.

“There’s no need to rush. Starting today... there will no longer be an Undying race in this world.”

Suddenly, the sky darkened.

A black curtain of light descended, enveloping the entire Undying Demon Forest.
