Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts
Chapter 7004 The Overture of Slaughter
Blood-colored petals tore through the void. Even heaven and earth were torn through, so how could a body of flesh and blood possibly block them? Even Divine Sovereign law items were as soft as tofu in front of these petals; human bodies put up no more resistance than the air they breathed.
Blood filled the heavens. Countless experts of the Wang clan were killed before understanding what was going on. Meanwhile, many others woke from their stupor, and the void rumbled as they launched attacks on the petals. It wasn’t long before people noticed Evilmoon’s weakness.
“Don’t be afraid! These petals are incredibly frail! If you hit them from the side, you can shatter them!”
They shifted around to avoid the petals' edges, but there were too many petals flying around. As they swirled in from all sides, no matter how much people tried to dodge, the petals still cut them to shreds. Their blood rained down like crimson fireworks.
Suddenly, a furious roar rang out. “LONG CHEN, GO TO HELL!!!”
Sovereign might rose from somewhere underground. This was a Divine Sovereign Forerunner in control of the new era’s laws!
But Long Chen simply lifted his foot and stamped down. A ripple spread through space, and the moment this ripple reached the newcomer, his powerful Sovereign aura deflated like a popped balloon.
Long Chen raised his hand, and an irresistible force pulled the man toward him.
“Patriarch, save me!”
The man screamed in terror. With the loss of the new era’s law power, he was reduced to his former state—nothing special, in other words. He was still hanging onto some hope that the clan's patriarch might help him. Unfortunately, his patriarch was busy leading the senior generation to fight against the petals. He did not have the spare time to look after an expendable Forerunner.
Long Chen’s finger stabbed through the man's head. He instantly obtained the answers he was looking for. A moment later, a portion of the petals stabbed into the ground, heading toward a massive underground cultivation compound. And there... they resumed killing.
Hundreds of thousands of yong geniuses barely had time to scream as they were slaughtered. Almost all of them were turned into minced meat; only a few hundred lay there like dead dogs, quivering in terror.
These disciples cultivating in seclusion underground were the greatest elites of the Wang clan. They were the clan's future. Sadly, Sovereign Lords who had yet to acquire the new era’s law power didn’t have the slightest ability to resist Evilmoon.
Of course, Evilmoon followed Long Chen’s instructions and only killed those marked by Brahma's power. These few hundred hadn’t been marked for one reason or another, so it had let them live.
The petals cut through any divine weapons like tofu. Even when a clan elder threw out a Heavenly Sovereign Dao Weapon, it was useless. Petals struck it in succession, and in just a few moments, it was cut in twain.
The Wang clan’s experts despaired. They kept destroying the petals, yet they somehow increased in number as the fight progressed! Towards the end, they completely filled heaven and earth; the Wang clan had no chance.
“Long Chen, you bastard, you won’t have a good death! Lord Brahma will not let you off!!!”
The patriarch let out a final roar before being sliced apart by the petals.
The Heavenly Sovereign Dao Weapon had been destroyed, and their patriarch had died. Everyone else from the Wang clan fell into despair, and it did not take long for them to join the others in the afterlife.
By the time the petals stopped falling, barely ten Divine Sovereign Forerunners were still hanging on. But they hadn’t even sealed the old era’s laws, and were only surviving thanks to their domains. Their domains layered on top of each other, throwing the surrounding space into chaos. The petals were facing a dozen chaotic streams of energy, and were temporarily unable to break through.
But Long Chen grabbed Evilmoon from behind him. He swung it down in a wide arc, and a blood-colored crescent moon sliced through the air.
“NOO—”
These new Divine Sovereigns screamed in despair for barely a blink before they were pulverized. In the place they had stood was now nothing but a giant space crack.
Seeing that crack, Long Chen frowned. “Although I can use a bit of the primal chaos space’s law power to mobilize a hundred times the power from heaven and earth, my control really is lacking.”
In theory, his cuts should have been perfectly clean and smooth. That was the mark of good control over his power. However, this spatial crack was jagged. In other words, he was losing a great deal of its killing power.
Against a real expert, he would definitely be at a disadvantage because of this inefficiency. However, there was also no way around it. Before the new era was fully in place, he couldn’t condense the new era’s law power.
In any case, the Divine Sovereign Forerunners were dead and the battle was over. But there were no corpses; there wasn’t even any blood. It was all absorbed by Evilmoon.
The once-flourishing ancient city was now in ruins. There were still some people hiding in the rubble. They glared at Long Chen. Their gazes were filled with fear, but there was also hatred and resentment.
Finally, someone walked out, pointed at him, and roared, “Long Chen, you destroyed my clan! Why aren’t you finishing the job?! Is this some fake sense of righteousness? Aren’t you afraid that my clan will rise once more and make you pay this blood debt?!”
The other survivors immediately glared in horror. They were really afraid that Long Chen would take those words at face value and simply wipe them out.
Evilmoon was inclined to agree with that viewpoint. “Actually, why not kill them? Don’t tell me you think that they’re going to reform from their evilness?”
Killing them could be done in an instant. Leaving behind a potential threat was unwise.
“How are they evil? Why would they need to reform? I have no reason to kill them. If they want to get revenge against me, I’ll wait for them. Will you even get anything out of killing them now? You can’t harvest seeds before they even sprout.”
“Oh? You really are vicious!”
Long Chen scornfully said, “At least I’m giving them a chance to survive. You call me vicious when you wanted to completely uproot them? Have some shame.”
After saying that, Long Chen waved his hand. The earth exploded. A giant vault was ripped out of the ground and thrown into the primal chaos space.
The Wang clan had been around for countless years. There had to be many treasures inside. But Long Chen didn’t have time to go through them. In fact, he didn’t even have a desire to open it right now.
With a single step, Long Chen arrived at a transportation formation. This was the only one that was perfectly preserved after the battle. Naturally that was intentional on Long Chen’s part. Through a few well-targeted soulsearches, he had found out that there were several large forces closely connected to the Wang clan, and the transportation formations appeared to be still functional. Thanks to this, Long Chen didn’t need to run around randomly. He could simply go through their network.
The transportation formation activated, and Long Chen vanished.
Once he was gone, the survivors of the Wang clan crept out of the shadows. Some wept; some roared in fury; some were silent. But they all knew that the mighty, ancient Wang clan was a thing of the past.
Of course, they also knew that the Wang clan’s destruction was because of one bad decision. They should never have joined Lord Brahma.
...
The moment Long Chen appeared in the estate of another force, blood-colored petals immediately flew out.
Once more, slaughter commenced.
