Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 6055 The Main Course is Coming

“This is the final wave! Just hold on!”

Panic-filled cries echoed across the battlefield as the third wave of lightning beasts descended with ferocious momentum.

The struggling groups were instantly crushed. Their defensive lines couldn’t even withstand a single clash from this new onslaught.

Even powerful races like the Taotie, sea whale, and others were now under immense pressure. They no longer had the luxury to help others and were forced to shrink their defensive perimeters.

By shrinking their formation, the top experts reduced the number of enemies they faced at once, lightening the load. But this came at a cost. The amount of thunderforce they gained also dropped. When these beasts exploded into lightning runes, those runes had to be absorbed immediately. Otherwise, they would fade back into the heavenly tribulation.

By being safer, they couldn’t absorb as much. But given the endless tide of beasts, they were no longer worried about supply. The priority had shifted to survival.

Even the Dragonblood Legion started to show signs of strain. Previously, each warrior had fought alongside a few comrades in small formations. Now, they were forced to group in clusters of ten or more.

Unlike these experts, the Dragonblood warriors focused entirely on offense. They were slaughtering the lightning beasts as quickly as possible, devouring every drop of thunderforce.

After all, the amount of thunderforce they needed was immense, and none of them dared waste even a scrap of power. They knew that once this tribulation ended, an even greater battle awaited. There was no room for carelessness.

“It’s no good, I can’t hold on!” Mo Yang shouted, his body trembling.

Although they were being aided by the Dragonblood Legion and only facing a portion of these lightning beasts, they had reached their breaking point.

“Hold on a bit longer!” shouted Long Chen.

Hearing that Long Chen refused to let them leave, Mo Yang and the others gritted their teeth and bitterly endured. The other races heard Long Chen’s call, and a flicker of hope ignited in their hearts.

“Did you hear that? Just a bit longer! It’s almost over!” their leaders cried, rallying morale.

But then Long Chen smiled faintly and said, “The appetizers are almost done. The main course is coming. Don’t leave before you get a bite.”

“What?!”

It was like a bucket of ice water had been dumped over their heads. Their hearts nearly collapsed on the spot.

“He’s lying! Don’t listen to him! Just hang on!”

BOOM!

Just then, the tribulation clouds exploded, and a terrifying Sovereign might descended. One figure after another appeared. When they manifested, the experts from other races almost pissed themselves in fear.

“Sovereign Lords… How can there be Sovereign Lords in this tribulation?!” shrieks of despair rang out.

From within the endless lightning, thousands of Sovereign Lords appeared, their bodies cloaked in burning Sovereign qi. Their eyes were blood-red, their auras distorted with rage. They looked like vengeful ghosts clawing their way out of hell.

“The experts we killed! The tribulation copied them!” Xia Chen shouted in shock.

Many of the figures were all too familiar. These were the enemies the Dragonblood warriors had slaughtered during their counterattack against the ten thousand races.

Millions of Divine Emperors and thousands of Sovereign Lords had come back as twisted shadows, fueled by vengeance and thunder.

“KILL!”

With guttural roars, the “revived” experts surged down with lightning weapons in their hands.

“Their auras…!” Gu Yang exclaimed, his eyes widening.

Their auras were dozens of times stronger than before.

Every lightning Divine Emperor had been pushed to their peak state, with even faint traces of Sovereign sprout qi surrounding them. As for the Sovereign Lords, thunderforce coiled around them, emanating crushing pressure. They were far stronger than in life.

“The tribulation lightning has enhanced their power, using their resentment to destroy us,” Guo Ran sneered. “Heh, it is looking down on us. So what? We killed them once—we can kill them again!”

The lightning revenants unleashed their deadliest moves immediately. Worst of all, some even self-detonated, trying to drag some Dragonblood warriors down with them. Their fighting style was savage and suicidal.

“Get into formation!” Long Chen commanded.

The Dragonblood Legion instantly formed up, cutting down the lightning revenants the moment they got into the formation.

Mo Yang and the other dragon experts attacked with all their might, but these enemies were too tough for them. They only lasted a few breaths before they couldn’t endure any longer.

The Dragonblood warriors opened up a path for them at the rear, letting them retreat to the Dragon Domain.

Just as Long Chen predicted, as long as the Dragonblood Legion remained here, the heavenly tribulation would not follow the dragon warriors out.

Meanwhile, the rest of the battlefield was in chaos. The other races were screaming, crying for their parents and begging for their lives.

The lightning revenants were not very intelligent—they attacked indiscriminately, driven only by bloodlust and hatred. Anyone they saw became a target.

“It’s possible to leave this tribulation! Let’s leave!” shouted one of the survivors.

Seeing the dragon experts’ escape, they saw a trace of hope again. Perhaps this nightmare had a door out.

But when they reached the edge of the tribulation, they slammed into a wall of lightning.

“What?!”

They were shocked and outraged. They attacked the lightning wall, but it continuously repaired itself, giving them no chance to leave.

When they tried to go around the wall, they were shocked to see it expanding with them. They were ultimately blocked off no matter where they went.

They spread out, hoping to find a weak point. But by doing so, they lost their formation. With no one watching their backs, they were picked off one by one by the lightning beasts.

Outside the tribulation, their protectors could only watch helplessly as their elites were slaughtered. No one could interfere with the tribulation.

A Sovereign Lord shouted, “Damn you, Long Chen! Damn the Dragon Domain! We’ll make you pay a painful—”

SHING!

A streak of sharp Sword Qi descended from the heavenly tribulation and struck the speaker in the head, killing him instantly. The battlefield fell silent in horror.

Even as they reeled from the shock, something even more terrifying occurred. Within the tribulation, Long Chen’s body suddenly trembled. His aura erupted, climbing rapidly.

Have I reached the limit?

Long Chen’s expression changed slightly. Although he had been doing his best not to absorb these lightning runes, some of them still seeped into his body regardless.

Just like that, the restriction on his realm broke apart, and he soared toward the Human Emperor realm.

“Dragonblood Legion, absolute defense!” shouted Long Chen.

An enormous hand suddenly descended from the heavens, aiming straight for Long Chen.
