Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts - Chapter 6845 The Awaited One

Chapter 6845 The Awaited One

Long Chen was overwhelmed with shock upon seeing the majestic dragon statue. Even Huo Linger gasped in disbelief.

The dragon, blood-red in color, was not a mere statue but a giant dead dragon.

According to the historical records, it possessed a blood-like blaze with auspicious qi, a resonance with the Heavenly Daos, a connection to the Earthly Daos, and the power to nourish or extinguish all life.

This dragon corpse’s aura was virtually identical to these descriptions. Long Chen had never expected to see the long-lost Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze appear here.

“I’m impressed by your knowledge, Brother Long! Yes, this is the legendary Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze, the grand existence ranked fifth among the Heavenly Flames,” said Chi Yutong with a sad but proud sigh.

“Unfortunately, the Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze was badly wounded by the outsider devils during the primal chaos war. Lord Brahma discovered this and stole a portion of its dragon quintessence, which worsened its condition. Then, the Heavenly Daos changed. The heaven veins were thrown into disorder, resulting in the Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze no longer able to replenish its energy. Eventually, this undying Heavenly Flame still fell. It is the god that our Flame God Sect worships, yet we lack the power to save it. This is the source of our shame and failure.”

Chi Yutong reached out and softly rubbed the dragon scales, her face showing grief and shame.

Just then, Huo Linger’s voice rang out in Long Chen’s mind.

“Big Brother Long Chen…”

Long Chen’s heart trembled as he approached the dragon corpse and touched it. Suddenly, a burst of divine light erupted from it.

Chi Yutong was deeply shocked. After all, the Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze hadn’t shown any signs of activity in countless years and was considered beyond revival.

Buzz.

Suddenly, Long Chen and Chi Yutong found themselves in a sea of blood-colored flames. A giant flame dragon slowly extended its head from the sea of flames.

Chi Yutong was completely stunned. Was the Flame God not dead? The thought made her feel as if she were in a dream. She didn’t dare to move an inch. She was afraid that if she did, she would wake up and regret it.

“Are you the person I was waiting for?” the dragon asked, its voice sounding incredibly ancient and weak, as if it came from someone half a foot in the grave.

“I think so,” Long Chen replied.

Chi Yutong was still in shock. Was Long Chen truly the person the Flame God was waiting for? If so, did she bring Long Chen to the Flame God Sect because of the Flame God’s guidance?

The giant dragon nodded. It slowly opened its mouth, and a palm-sized, blood-colored crystal appeared before Long Chen.

This tiny crystal contained a flame sprout as pure as a newborn child. The giant dragon almost faded once it lost this flame sprout, and even the blood-colored flame sea ceased burning.

Long Chen said nothing. He formed hand seals, causing the Demon Moon Cauldron to appear and draw in more and more of the surrounding flames.

While still forming hand seals, he sat down midair and chanted the Nirvana Scripture.

The entire blood sea roiled violently. Black qi erupted from the flames, rushing toward the Demon Moon Cauldron. The runes around the cauldron burned fiercely, incinerating the black qi into nothingness.

Long Chen explained, “This is curse energy. Lord Brahma not only took the dragon quintessence of Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze but also cast a curse. It’s no surprise the Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze had to enter a quasi-death state; it was to counter this curse energy. Lord Brahma cast the curse using the Nirvana Scripture’s power. Thus, I believe that removing the curse might require the flame laws from the Nirvana Scripture.”

At this moment, Long Chen realized this was no coincidence. Perhaps it was the guidance of fate.

Is this the guidance of the Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze? Or maybe it is the Heavenly Flames or karma from the primal chaos era that led me here.

Suddenly, the blood sea went crazy.

Evil drakes radiating curse energy soared out of the flames and aggressively collided with the Demon Moon Cauldron. These malevolent drakes seemed endless, attacking the cauldron in a frenzied assault. From their mouths, black liquid spewed forth, teeming with terrifying curse energy. Some of these evil drakes couldn’t fully join the assault and instead charged toward Long Chen and Chi Yutong.

Chi Yutong was horrified. But before she could make a move, Long Chen’s hand seals changed.

Golden Crows and Jade Rabbits flew out of the primal chaos space, initiating a fierce battle against the evil drakes. While the drakes were repeatedly slain, more kept emerging from the blood sea.

The curse energy emanating from these drakes made Chi Yutong shudder; it was a curse she definitely couldn’t touch.

Fortunately, Long Chen’s Jade Rabbit army seemed just as endless as the drakes, and the Golden Crows were dominating the battlefield. Long Chen was not the slightest bit afraid.

Things only settled after two full hours of fighting.

This was a brutal battle of attrition. The Jade Rabbits were nearly exterminated, and only a handful of Golden Crows remained.

However, Long Chen didn’t mind as they recovered very quickly.

Just as Chi Yutong thought the battle was over, Long Chen calmly looked at the peaceful sea of blood.

He asked, “Lord Brahma, why do you refuse to come out? Are you waiting for my invitation first?”

“Lord Brahma?!” Chi Yutong exclaimed, jumping in shock.

Was Lord Brahma hidden within this blood sea?

The next moment, a faint ripple came from the blood sea, and Lord Brahma emerged.

This was Chi Yutong’s first time witnessing the being whose name shook the nine heavens. Although she knew this was just a wisp of his divine will, she still experienced an oppressive feeling that she couldn’t control.

“You are reciting the original Nirvana Scripture and hold the power of the Moon and Sun Flames. Additionally, you have a replica of the Heaven Earth Cauldron. Little fellow, you truly are not an ordinary person,” said Lord Brahma.

Long Chen replied, “Of course, I am not simple. We can be considered old friends.”

With a series of hand seals, Long Chen sent a white flame that enveloped the space around Lord Brahma.

BOOM!

Lord Brahma’s figure exploded on contact with that white flame.

The surrounding space was frozen by the white flame, but Lord Brahma had vanished.

“This fellow really is crafty! Capturing him is too difficult,” Long Chen sighed.

Long Chen had suffered at Lord Brahma’s hands multiple times, but he couldn’t even capture a wisp of Lord Brahman’s divine soul.

This wisp was something Lord Brahma had planted in the primal chaos era. If Long Chen had captured it, he would have learned many secrets.

However, Lord Brahma’s wisp of soul immediately destroyed itself the moment it realized things were going awry, giving Long Chen no chance to capture it.

Just then, the clump of flames in the Demon Moon Cauldron split in two, and Huo Linger immediately seized one of them.

Long Chen was about to scold her when he heard the dragon’s voice. “This is her deserved reward. It is also karma. Without this harvest, the karma wouldn’t be settled. Do not blame her.”

Just then, the remaining portion of flames floated over to Chi Yutong.

“Child, are you willing to inherit my will?” asked the Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze.

Chi Yutong’s body shook.
