Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5103 Heavenly Flame Sourcestone

The beautiful maiden was naturally Huo Linger. Clad in a red dress and wielding a flame staff, she stood protectively in front of Long Chen.

“Big brother Long Chen, leave this fellow to me,” Huo Linger said with a playful smile as she glanced back at him.

“This fellow’s core energy restrains me. I’m at too much of a disadvantage. Without Evilmoon, I can’t beat him. If you feel like you can, go ahead,” Long Chen replied with a bitter smile.

The core energy of a three-vein Heaven Saint was akin to a form of law. In terms of realm, Long Chen was completely suppressed. Despite his sacred dragon pressure, the suppression was overwhelming.

If Evilmoon were awake, Long Chen might have stood a chance. However, Evilmoon was still in slumber, and Long Chen couldn’t disturb it. As a result, there was nothing he could do against a three-vein Heaven Saint.

Although Long Chen could potentially gauge a three-vein Heaven Saint’s true power if he went all-out, he couldn’t underestimate the dangers of this place. Being injured here could be fatal.

Hence, now that Huo Linger had appeared, Long Chen decided not to stop her. As a flame spirit, her life wouldn’t be in danger. Even if she couldn’t win, they could always run. However, he told her not to use up too much energy, or they would be in trouble if they ran into some other danger.

“Big brother Long Chen, don’t worry. Watch me crush this devil creature!” Huo Linger winked at Long Chen and smiled mischievously. She walked toward that elder just like that.

Resting her flame staff on her shoulder, Huo Linger said, “Old fogey, speak, how do you want to die?”

Long Chen nearly fainted. Her movements, gaze, attitude, and tone were a direct imitation of him—only her voice was different.

This elder stared at Huo Linger, not understanding what an old fogey was. He suddenly sneered, “You’re nothing more than a flame spirit. You must be after the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone at the core. Hehe, it’s too bad you’ll never have a chance to get there.”

“What Heavenly Flame Sourcestone? Stop spouting nonsense. Old thing, apologize to my big brother, or I’ll incinerate you,” declared Huo Linger, waving her flame staff at the elder arrogantly.

“What ignorance!” With a sneer, the elder suddenly vanished, reappearing right in front of Huo Linger and unleashing a claw.

“Golden Crow Splits the Heavens!”

Huo Linger made a series of one-handed seals, and a pair of golden wings appeared on her back. They slashed through the dome of heavens like a blade through paper, creating a widening crack that surged toward the elder.

Long Chen was shocked by what he saw. This move was truly terrifying. In such a short time, Huo Linger had mastered such a terrifying divine ability. This technique could also be considered a kind of law, with its own locking power. No matter how the elder tried to dodge, he would be struck by this attack. If he wasn’t strong enough, he would be torn apart. Long Chen had never seen a technique quite like this before.

The elder’s expression changed dramatically. He shot back and swung his bone staff, conjuring a shield identical to the one that had previously blocked the Cloud Dragon Immolation Claw.

The shield was ripped apart as if it were made of paper. The crack surged forward, striking the elder's head head-on. He roared in pain and was thrown back once more.

Long Chen’s eyes widened in shock when he saw the elder’s forehead split open, fresh blood streaming down its face. The attack had nearly ripped the elder apart.

“Isn’t this too terrifying?” Long Chen almost couldn’t believe his eyes.

“Huo Linger’s power is indeed formidable,” said the Earth Cauldron. “She has mastered three of the top ten Heavenly Flames. Though they are still in embryonic states, if she could fully control this power, that elder would already be dead.”

“She’s that strong?” Long Chen was shocked.

“To use the power of Heavenly Flames efficiently, an expert must connect with the Heavenly Daos. After the divine pool’s baptism, Huo Linger became a Heavenly Chosen, fulfilling that requirement. Previously, her flame techniques were too underdeveloped. While your World Extermination Flame Lotus is extremely potent, it requires time to merge with her Doyen power. Luckily, the Golden Crow race’s innate divine abilities make up for this shortcoming, serving as a bridge between her Heavenly Flame energy and the Heavenly Dao energy. What you’re seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg. In the future, Huo Linger will become an overwhelmingly powerful force,” explained the Earth Cauldron.

“This is already terrifying enough. Any more, and I’ll die of terror,” Long Chen said, his excitement evident.

Long Chen was unaware that the challenges Huo Linger faced stemmed from her mastery over the Heavenly Flames within the primal chaos space. Because the space functioned as its own world, her Heavenly Dao energy contained the laws of the primal chaos space, resulting in her facing many restrictions when she unleashed her Heavenly Flame energy in the outside world.

After becoming a Heavenly Chosen, Huo Linger recognized this issue and focused on balancing the energies of both worlds during her cultivation. This approach enabled her to unlock and utilize the full potential of her Heavenly Flame energy.

Thanks to the Golden Crow Totems, Huo Linger now had a bridge between the two worlds, and she could unleash the full potential of her Heavenly Flame energy in the outside world.

“Bastard!” The elder was enraged. He had looked down on Huo Linger as a little flame spirit. At the same time, he knew that flame spirits were difficult to kill and that there was no need to get entangled with her.

The elder had focused on Long Chen, thinking that Long Chen had summoned Huo Linger as a distraction so he could escape. As a result, the elder didn’t use his full power on Huo Linger, instead saving his power to capture Long Chen instantaneously.

Because of this, the elder ended up badly injured. His head resembled a melon that had been axed. If he hadn’t unleashed its core energy at that critical moment, Huo Linger’s attack would have ripped him apart.

“Die!”

The elder roared, and three qi currents flowed around him. Now, he was finally going all-out, his staff smashing through the air.

“Hehe, you think you can kill me? To use big brother Long Chen’s words, you have a grand goal, but you’ll never achieve it in this lifetime,” Huo Linger mocked the elder before waving her staff.

Just like that, Huo Linger faced the elder without any flashiness. “I’ll show you the Golden Crow Coiling Dragon Staff’s true power.”

Huo Linger’s staff suddenly blazed with light, and eighteen runes appeared on it. Long Chen’s jaw instantly dropped upon seeing those runes.
