Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts-Chapter 6011 Killing to Stop Killing
Chapter 6011 Killing to Stop Killing
“Lord Brahma!”
Long Chen’s fury ignited the moment he heard that name.
That wretched instigator! It’s always him!
City lord Yingxiang explained, “Orchid Mound City has always been at odds with the Brahma line. But now, with the human race under siege, many are turning to them for protection. Their power has swelled to an unprecedented level. As a result, the other races avoid conflict with them, which only encourages more people to join them. They’re recruiting believers like mad.
“Cities like ours, which have our own faiths or hostile relations with the Brahma line, have become targets. The Brahma line is at the peak of its power, so we’ve been forced to retreat behind our walls. You should know, many new members of their faction are desperate to make a name for themselves and earn promotions. Thus, we have no choice but to remain on high alert. We can’t afford to show even the smallest opening.”
Orchid Mound City worshiped the Orchid Mound Divine Sovereign. So, naturally, they were at odds with the Brahma line.
Lord Brahma called himself the venerate of gods. To him, that title made him the greatest god—the boss of all gods. He wanted to possess the most powerful god legacy, so he had to eliminate every threat to his supremacy and ultimately unify the world under his name.
In the past, the Brahma line had tolerated Orchid Mound City, fearing the cost of a direct confrontation. They weren’t confident they could crush Orchid Mound City, whose deep roots and formidable strength made them difficult to uproot.
But things had changed.
The human race was in crisis, and the Brahma line’s ranks were swelling with constant newcomers. Having gained so many new followers, they had some extras that could be used as cannon fodder.
The cannon fodder was weak individually, but they could cause massive damage if they infiltrated other human factions. Even a powerhouse like Orchid Mound City had to bolster its defenses and interrogate anyone suspicious before they were let into the city. Anyone could be a Brahma spy.
“The human race is being slaughtered,” sighed City Lord Yingxiang. “But we can’t stop it. All we can do is protect a small number of people.”
Both she and Long Chen understood that while they spoke, many humans were being crushed by the other races.
“City Lord Yingxiang,” Long Chen suddenly asked, “is it possible that the sudden assault on the human race... was orchestrated by Lord Brahma?”
“You...” City lord Yingxiang’s eyes widened. The thought was too bold—she hadn’t dared consider it.
“In theory, no,” she said slowly. “Lord Brahma’s influence is limited to the human race. He shouldn’t have the power to control other races yet. In fact, many of those races despise humans, and Lord Brahma is one as well. It wouldn’t make sense for them to obey him. But... if we look at who stands to benefit the most, it is indeed suspicious. They are certainly the greatest beneficiary of the sudden turn of events.”
City lord Yingxiang had also sensed something off. These ancient races had slumbered for countless years, so why did they suddenly erupt with such hatred? Though it seemed impossible for Lord Brahma to command them directly, his faction had been secretly forming connections for generations. Their reach ran deep.
However, whether or not their influence was enough to provoke all these races into attacking was hard to say.
Long Chen said, “If it were anyone else, I’d say it’s impossible. But this is Lord Brahma we are talking about.”
By now, Long Chen was almost sure that Lord Brahma was the one causing this chaos. He had no proof, but his guts told him so.
Having fought against the Brahma line ever since the mortal world, Long Chen was very familiar with their methods. Lord Brahma would use any means necessary to achieve his goals. He was absolutely shameless.
His followers were cut from the same cloth—vicious and cunning. This kind of scheme was exactly what they would do.
Seeing how convinced Long Chen was, city lord Yingxiang said, “If you’re right, and Lord Brahma has extended his reach into the ten thousand races... that’s terrifying. And worst of all, even knowing it changes nothing.
“Human factions across the realm are on the brink of collapse, and they can only turn to the Brahma line for protection. That only makes them stronger. If Lord Brahma continues gaining faith energy at this pace, he really could become the supreme existence among god cultivators. At that point, perhaps no one in the nine heavens and ten lands would be able to stop him.”
“His plan has just started,” said Long Chen, his voice dark. “He’s using the ten thousand races to slaughter the human race—starting with the weak. The message is clear: if you want to survive, submit to him. This is just the first phase. But if they pull it off, he’ll gain countless followers, and resisting him will become impossible. That’s why we must act now, before it’s too late.”
“Do you have a way to unravel his plans?” City lord Yingxiang asked, startled.
Long Chen answered, “If the ten thousand races want to slaughter us, then I will slaughter them first. A tooth for a tooth, blood for blood! I’ll make the world see—if they touch the human race, they’ll face my blade. I’ll kill until they’re too afraid to act! As long as I live, they won’t do as they please. That’s the only way to buy time for the weaker human factions.”
City lord Yingxiang covered her mouth unconsciously. She had never expected such a brazen and unrealistic plan.
“The ten thousand races have endless experts. How can you kill them all? In addition, once you start, they will hunt you down. There won’t be a single safe place left for you in the nine heavens and ten lands! Even the Jiuli and Violet Blood races won’t be able to protect you.”
“I don’t need to kill them all,” replied Long Chen, smiling faintly. “Just enough to strike fear into the rest. As for retaliation... the crisis is already here. I’ll deal with it when it comes.”
“You’re throwing yourself into the heart of the storm!” Yingxiang exclaimed. “You’ll become the target of all their hatred! Do you really think you can survive that?”
Long Chen chuckled. “In this world, someone has to do the things that seem foolish but are still right.”
City lord Yingxiang stared at him, overwhelmed by a storm of emotions—shock, admiration, and above all... pity.
