Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 6097 Searching For the Exit

The temperature of the world suddenly plummeted, and a sharp, bone-chilling cold spread in all directions. Even Human Emperors couldn’t help but feel their souls quiver.

Luo Ningshuang was shocked. Ever since she had obtained this blade, she had studied it tirelessly. However, she had never once succeeded in drawing it. Yet now, the blade opened on its own in Long Chen’s hand.

As the blade buzzed, a terrifying chill continued to spread from it. It wasn’t long before the entire city was encased in frost, and it still continued spreading.

“I see now. This blade requires both violet blood energy and a powerful murderous aura,” said Long Zhantian, his eyes lighting up with realization.

He had studied the blade as well. Luo Ningshuang’s violet blood had produced a faint resonance with it, but that alone wasn’t enough. It had felt as though something vital was missing.

Now, as the blade released its aura in Long Chen’s grasp, the answer was clear: the wielder needed an overwhelming killing intent. Army Breaker was not a defensive weapon—it was a weapon of slaughter.

Even though Luo Ningshuang had killed many devil creatures over the years, she had still fallen short of awakening its power.

“This terrifying Ice Qi…’”

The Lei family’s experts stared in shock. The blade wasn’t even fully unsheathed, and yet its aura was already freezing their souls.

“Mom!” Long Chen called out, quickly handing the saber back to her. He couldn’t control ice energy, and the saber’s power was running wild in his hands.

As soon as Luo Ningshuang took hold of it, the frost covering the blade instantly melted, and the chill in the air gradually receded.

Then, she slowly drew the blade completely.

This was a very rare straight saber. Its thin and narrow body was etched with delicate snowflake patterns that radiated killing intent. But once Luo Ningshuang held it, the blade’s aura retreated into it.

Luo Ningshuang was stunned to sense its ice energy.

Long Zhantian was also startled. He and Long Chen could see that it was an ice-type spirit weapon—one capable of growing stronger through cultivation. As long as it was nourished with energy, it would evolve and break through to higher levels, just like a living being.

At this point, it was a Human Emperor weapon. However, its aura and pressure were not inferior to those of a Sovereign weapon. Without a doubt, this was an extraordinary divine item.

Moreover, it seemed as though this blade had been made specifically for her. In truth, it had long since acknowledged her as its master. But it had been sealed by an unknown force—only unlocking when Long Chen appeared.

“Congratulations on obtaining a divine weapon, Mom! You’ll be able to dominate the nine heavens from now on!” Long Chen said, laughing.

Luo Ningshuang glared at her son. She was filled with delight, but her son’s laughter embarrassed her a bit.

Just then, the devil creatures in the vicinity suddenly attacked the city. Seeing them, Luo Ningshuang snorted and was about to test out the power of Army Breaker.

But Long Chen stepped forward quickly. “No, no! No need to waste your power on small fries. Leave them to me.”

With a wave of his hand, a storm of dragon-scale petals erupted outward. The devil creatures were cut down before they could even approach.

Long Chen knew that Army Breaker’s Ice Qi could damage the essence blood of these creatures, reducing its value. That essence blood was the only resource worth harvesting from their bodies. Hence, killing them with Army Breaker would be a waste.

“Chen-er, you might be strong, but your energy here is limited. Don’t waste it,” Luo Ningshuang warned.

When she had first arrived in this place, she too had freely used her power—only to realize the consequences later. Then, she was forced to tighten her belt.

But what she didn’t know was that the petals were from Evilmoon, not Long Chen. Even better, Evilmoon could absorb the devil creatures’ essence blood to replenish its own energy. In truth, every battle only made it stronger.

As a result, Long Chen hoped for more devil creatures to appear. That way, Evilmoon could get even stronger.

Still, Long Chen didn’t argue. He simply nodded obediently, playing the part of a humble and respectful son.

Long Zhantian smiled knowingly. He saw through his son’s acting, of course. He couldn’t help thinking about his own younger self. He had always insisted on being right, on proving his point no matter what. In the end, only Luo Ningshuang had been willing to put up with him. It was no wonder Long Chen had so many women who loved him.

Now, with Long Chen here and Luo Ningshuang wielding Army Breaker, the city was no longer in immediate danger. A wave of relief swept through everyone.

“Mom, now that you have Army Breaker, things should be secure here. I want to explore beyond the city,” said Long Chen.

From the moment he had entered this necropolis, something about it had felt wrong. The bladeseer had clearly guided him here step by step—there had to be a purpose behind it.

Luo Ningshuang nodded. However, she wasn’t entirely at ease, so she had Long Zhantian accompany Long Chen. She could defend the city alone now—just activating Army Breaker’s Ice Qi would kill any devil creatures that approached her.

Thus, father and son stepped beyond the ruined city walls. Since Long Zhantian’s arrival, the city had been under constant siege. This was his first chance to leave.

Along the way, Long Zhantian asked Long Chen about the situation outside—especially Sovereign Mountain. When he heard that the violet blood experts sent to reinforce them had all died, he sighed deeply.

Back when he first discovered the entrance to this necropolis, he had condensed his Supreme Blood into a clone to scout the environment. However, the clone quickly disintegrated due to the unique laws here. Even so, it had given him a basic understanding of the situation inside.

When Long Zhantian sensed Luo Ningshuang’s location and realized she was in danger, he didn’t hesitate. Without gathering more resources, he had charged in headfirst.

The resources he had on him didn’t last long. His weapons in particular took continuous damage in combat, and without a way to repair them, they quickly broke.

This was why the Lei family’s experts had fought barehanded. Worse, they rarely used their bloodline divine abilities because the energy cost was too great.

Upon learning that over a thousand elders had sacrificed themselves to save the younger experts, Long Chen couldn’t help but feel bad. Perhaps he should have come faster.

However, he had rushed over here as fast as he could, so he could only helplessly sigh.

Before leaving, Long Chen had given his mother a stash of powerful medicinal pills. With these, the defenders could finally recover their core energy.

Long Zhantian’s own strength returned to thirty percent after consuming one. His aura sharpened dramatically—now comparable to a first Heavenstage Sovereign Lord.

As they explored, Long Zhantian took out a map, and they quickly arrived at a certain hill.

“We’re here,” said Long Zhantian.

He flicked his finger.

A pulse of wind shot out—and suddenly, a previously invisible barrier shimmered into view before them.
