Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts - Chapter 6313 Terrifying Scale

Chapter 6313 Terrifying Scale

The Heaven’s Spine Mountain Range was without question the most dangerous region of the heaven battlefield. Countless lifeforms had perished there, their resentment and hatred condensing into strange new entities. Some manifested as demonic beasts, some as devils, while others became formless spiritual bodies.

The Shadow Devil Bat’s race had probed this dangerous region over the years, but those lifeforms were too terrifying. Even after countless sacrifices, they barely managed to scout around the edges.

According to the Shadow Devil Bat race’s records, those lifeforms lacked any intellect. They only knew how to fight. But once discovered, a battle to the death was inevitable.

Furthermore, it was said that even more horrifying beings lurked deeper within. Though the battlefield’s natural laws prevented the birth of true Divine Sovereigns, those entities were rumored to be limitlessly close to that level.

However, this was just a guess of the Shadow Devil Bat race. All they could say for sure was that the Heaven’s Spine Mountain Range was a forbidden area.

And despite the immense price paid in lives, the Shadow Devil Bat race had gained almost nothing of value from their attempts and eventually abandoned the region.

For Long Yu to bring up this place now surprised Long Chen. Did the vile dragon race secretly control this forbidden area?

“Have you already taken control of the Heaven’s Spine Mountain Range?” asked Long Chen.

Long Yu woodenly responded, “The Heaven’s Spine Mountain Range contains countless evil spirits. No one can control them. Lord Long Wu used our race’s legacy Divine Sovereign magical item to slaughter them and discovered the place where our ancestors perished. He activated their ancestral blessing, aiding our strongest experts in condensing Sovereign flames…”

Through Long Yu’s explanation, Long Chen learned that the vile dragon race was a race from beyond the nine heavens.

Their very nature was sinister. For them, evil was glory. They cared nothing for righteousness, only for power.

Among the dragon races from beyond the world, the vile dragon race was one of the three great branches, alongside the evil dragon race and the mad dragon race. Among them, the mad dragons reigned supreme as the true leaders, the evil dragons ranked second, while the vile dragons were third.

Yet of the three, only the vile dragon race had entered the heaven battlefield. The other two had not.

As for why, Long Yu did not know. Though powerful, he was not privy to the deepest secrets of his race.

This time, the vile dragon race had mobilized their full force—three million of their young experts had all entered the battlefield.

From the moment they arrived, their target was clear: the Heaven’s Spine Mountain Range, the very place where their ancestors had fallen.

According to Long Yu,they fought an unprecedented battle against the evil spirits that dwelled there. Half of their three million warriors perished in that slaughter, but they succeeded in carving open a path.

Within the ancestral grounds, they received a blessing. Long Yu himself went from three hundred Sovereign flames to over nine hundred in one leap.

However, while his rate of improvement was astonishing, he couldn’t progress any further. At 987 Sovereign flames, he couldn’t condense further Sovereign flames with this blessing.

Thus, the higher-ups sent her out to search for some other opportunity and hunt down more dragon experts to steal their karmic luck.

Unfortunately, although every other opening of the battlefield resulted in millions or even tens of millions of dragon experts entering, this time, they became incredibly sparse, outraging them.

Hunting down dragons of the nine heavens and seizing their karmic luck was something that helped them condense Sovereign flames. It was one of the fastest methods of improving themselves.

But this time, the dragons of the nine heavens were incredibly rare, like needles hiding in the ocean.

Yet after a long search, Long Yu had found fewer than twenty dragon experts, none of them strong, and thus gained almost nothing.

Afterward, he found Di Mengyao, and just as he thought he was about to consume a big piece of meat, his life was hanging at death’s door.

“Lord Long Chen, you knew the vile dragon race was capable of devouring our dragon race’s karmic luck? You really are a god-like existence!” Di Mengyao practically prostrated herself toward him when she heard this.

Back then, Long Chen had only allowed a hundred thousand Heaven Dragon Law Domain elites to enter the battlefield, despite fierce opposition from the rest of the dragon race.

Now, it seemed that Long Chen was truly wise. His foresight had reached a god-like level.

As for Long Chen, Di Mengyao’s worshipful gaze made him feel rather embarrassed. Back then, he had only brought a few elites of the dragon race because he didn’t want there to be too many casualties amongst the dragon race. The other thing was only the elites could work together to form true combat potential.

The others would send themselves to their deaths. Long Chen had been sure that toward the end, obtaining the treasures would be a matter of power, not luck.

Those who obtained treasures through luck but didn’t have the power to keep them would ultimately be killed. Never had he imagined that the outsider dragons could directly steal the karmic luck of the nine heavens’ dragon race.

Now, through this interrogation, another mystery was solved—why killing the outsider dragons sometimes yielded random amounts of Sovereign flame energy. It seemed that the karmic luck energy he could seize had to belong to the nine heavens. It was no wonder these outsider experts didn’t seem to have much energy in their Sovereign flames when he absorbed them. If this was the case, then it all made sense.

Long Chen asked a few more questions about the interior of the vile dragon race. Long Yu’s answers made Di Mengyao turn ashen.

When Long Yu left the Heaven’s Spine Mountain Range, Long Wu was in the middle of condensing his 997th Sovereign flame. It had basically been set in stone at that time, and based on how much time had passed, he should already be done.

There were also two others with nine hundred ninety-six Sovereign flames, and eighteen people with more than nine hundred ninety Sovereign flames.

There were over three hundred of them with over nine hundred eighty Sovereign flames. Long Yu was one of them. As for those beneath this level, Long Yu didn’t bother counting.

He was part of the first batch of experts sent out and knew the situation at the time. As for what happened afterward, he couldn’t know.

“What terrifying power. Such a powerful race is only ranked third amongst their dragon race’s factions?” Di Mengyao couldn’t help gasping.

If it weren’t for the fact that Long Yu was under control and couldn’t lie, she would definitely refuse to believe what he was saying.

Other than his so-called lord Long Wu, there were two others on the same level as Di Mengyao. Di Mengyao felt a profound sense of powerlessness.

The talent she was so proud of didn’t seem like much in front of the vile dragon race.

Suddenly, one of the vines protruding from Long Yu’s back burst apart. The curse energy had been mostly absorbed by Zhi Zhi, but some still seeped into Long Yu’s body. After so many questions, his limit was reached. His body began to rot as curse runes spread across his flesh.

“Lord Long Chen, what should we do?” asked Di Mengyao.

Just then, the void rumbled, and a group of figures charged in like bolts of lightning.
