Nine Star Hegemon Body Art - Chapter 1735

Chapter 1735: I’ll Have to Look Down on You

The original devil race’s prophet gently touched Long Chen’s face with her hands . Long Chen immediately felt his soul shake, and the Divine Gate Star activated on its own, instinctively resisting .

Long Chen hastily stopped the Divine Gate Star . However, huge waves rose in his heart . It was just that he didn’t say anything .

“Good child, you’re very handsome . Your future children with Xiaoqian, whether they’re boys or girls, will definitely be very cute . ” The original devil race’s prophet pulled back her hands . When they left Long Chen’s face, they returned to their normal, withered state .

The only difference was that the prophet was smiling brightly now . “Child, don’t let a romantic relationship stop you from doing what you need to do . Sometimes, a good result needs a bitter process . However, as long as you can get that result, all that bitterness will be worth it . The bitterness will become your most perfect memories . However, if your hesitation over the process affects the result, if it causes you to fail, it will only bring you endless regret . All your efforts are for that goal . If you don’t achieve it, then everything fades away . When you reach the end, you will only find emptiness . ”

“I understand . ”

Long Chen bowed to the prophet and Yue Xihan . He then hugged Yue Xiaoqian before being led away by one of the Elders .

When Long Chen’s figure vanished, Yue Xiaoqian, Yue Xihan, and the prophet left as well . The roar of Magical Beasts began to ring out once more as they continued charging into the Skyscraping World .

…

“Mom, what did you see?” Yue Xihan looked at the prophet . She and Yue Xiaoqian were supporting her . They had arrived at a pavilion at the top of a mountain .

The prophet looked like she had aged a great deal . Her breathing was a bit unsteady . As soon as she sat down, she began to cough intensely .

Yue Xiaoqian and Yue Xihan hastily poured a cup of water for her . Her coughing eased a bit after drinking some water .

“Grandma, why did you have to look at him? Doing so is suicide . ” Yue Xiaoqian was crying as she looked at her grandmother .

“Child, which person doesn’t die? Death is another form of life . You need to learn this point from your mother . After giving up my position as the leader of the race, I sacrificed my cultivation base, transforming it into prophetic power so I could see further, see clearer . Although it was a sacrifice, it was worth it . Last time, I managed to see that Long Chen would be in trouble and I sent you just as a test . However, you really did manage to help him at a critical moment . At that time, I knew that no matter how strong I was, I would never be able to read the fate of a nine star heir . The fact that my prediction actually ended up true means that Long Chen’s fate is deeply intertwined with the fate of the original devil race . So how could I give up this chance?” The prophet smiled, but then she immediately began to cough fiercely again .

Yue Xiaoqian hastily pushed the water closer and gently patted her back .

After a moment, the prophet continued, “I’m very gratified . Let me tell you a piece of good news . Our original devil race has not been wiped out . I saw many more branches living in different star-fields . ”

“Really? That’s… great!” Yue Xiaoqian and Yue Xihan were both delighted . They had always thought that after the Motherstar had collapsed, the others had all died, leaving behind only their one branch of the original devil race . This news was the best news they could have gotten .

“Did you see which star-fields they’re in? Can we communicate with them? Can we restore the original devil race’s glory?” asked Yue Xihan, her voice trembling with emotion .

The prophet shook her head . “The cultivation technique of an heir of the nine stars is too domineering . Although I only tried to see information relating to our race, I still received a backlash . If Long Chen hadn’t suppressed it, I wouldn’t have been able to see anything at all . Xiaoqian, hurry and tell the others this news . Let everyone be happy as well . ”

“Yes!” Yue Xiaoqian immediately rushed away .

“Mom, you…” Yue Xihan suddenly looked at her mother in shock . She wasn’t as naive as Yue Xiaoqian .

The prophet’s smile vanished, replaced by complete seriousness . She slowly said, “I wasn’t able to hold back . In the end, I still glanced at Long Chen’s future . ”

“Mom…!”

Yue Xihan let out a startled cry . She looked at her mother closely and couldn’t help but cry . The divine seal on her mother’s forehead had completely faded . That meant her life force had run out .

“I just praised you for understanding the Dao of Life and Death . I said that Xiaoqian should follow your example, and you act like this,” sighed the prophet . She continued, “Long Chen is different from the nine star heirs from the legends . He lacks a kind of true domineeringness . It’s a very strange scenario . No one in this world can train in this cultivation technique and still control themselves, but he has done it . In all the historical records, nine star heirs are solitary figures who fight against heaven and earth . They never form companionships . However, Long Chen is completely different . That’s why I couldn’t hold back from taking a peek at his future . Unfortunately, I saw something that I shouldn’t have . ”

“What did you see?”

“Death, darkness, endless death and endless darkness . All life was extinguished . Within that endless darkness and death, I couldn’t see the slightest glimmer of hope . ”

“Are you saying that Long Chen’s fate is to die?!”

“I don’t know . My ability is limited . I could only see this much . ”

The prophet suddenly touched Yue Xihan’s cheek . A faint glow appeared on her face .

“Don’t wear yourself out . You only have to do your best . We are just a speck of dust within this cosmos, and we follow the waves . If a star’s destiny reaches an end, we can only be destroyed along with it . You wouldn’t be able to do anything about it regardless, so don’t feel so bad . Just as I said, death is not an end, but another kind of… life . ”

“Mom…”

The prophet closed her eyes and silently collapsed into Yue Xihan’s embrace, still having a faint smile on her face . The old leader of the original devil race passed away just like that .

…

Long Chen was quickly led out of the Skyscraping World by an Elder from the original devil race . He had no idea that the original devil race’s prophet had peeped into his future and thus left the mortal world .

Once he left the original devil race, Long Chen went toward the Eastern Xuan City . There, he saw that things were exceptionally lively .

Walking along the large path, he saw experts from different regions . The restaurants were packed .

Was there some kind of festival? Why were there so many people? Long Chen curiously perked his ears up .

“Hmph, that Long Chen really is trash . Either someone helped him or he used some shameless method to get his Dragonblood Legion to occupy two spots in the top ten of the Devil Slaughter Rankings . In my opinion, that is no different than cheating!”

Long Chen was just randomly listening to the conversation when he heard a voice come from within a restaurant .

This voice wasn’t very loud, but it wasn’t quiet either . Anyone in the surroundings of the restaurant could hear it . It was clearly intentional .

“Someone’s causing trouble for me again?”

Long Chen suddenly stopped . However, that theory was wrong . He was wearing a cloak and had concealed his spiritual fluctuations . His appearance had also been changed . No one should realize who he was .

Just as he was questioning his disguise, another voice came from the restaurant . “You’re right, Long Chen really is shameless . Ignoring how he cheated his way into the top ten, he even colluded with those demons from the original devil race . Although no one has absolute proof, Long Chen’s wild ambitions are abundantly clear . Even though everyone is speaking out against him, he’s hiding in his sect like a turtle . If he doesn’t have a guilty conscience, why would he do that?”

This voice was just as loud as the first . It was clearly being said so that others would hear it .

“Long Chen, if you keep enduring like this, I’ll have to look down on you . ”

Evilmoon’s voice rang out in Long Chen’s head . Clearly, it disapproved of Long Chen’s indifference .

Long Chen didn’t reply . He had walked past the restaurant, but now he returned . He also wiped off the disguise on his face, revealing his true appearance .

However, he was still wearing a hood that covered most of his face . There were countless people on the street, so no one paid any attention to him .

“Xiang Yunfei has already come to challenge Long Chen, even building a martial stage right outside the Eastern Xuan City, and Long Chen doesn’t even dare to come out . It’s been a month, and there hasn’t even been a peep from the Xuantian Dao Sect . Hmph, when he encounters a real expert, Long Chen runs like a dog . ”

“Don’t compare Long Chen to a dog . At least, a dog will bark a few times when they encounter an enemy, but Long Chen doesn’t even dare to make a sound . There’s no comparing the two . ”

Long Chen slowly walked up the stairs . After hearing the two of them echo off each other, a cold smile appeared on his face . The two of them were clearly doing it intentionally to provoke him into coming .

The Dragonblood Legion was in seclusion in the Xuantian Dao Sect, and Li Tianxuan definitely wouldn’t allow them to learn of this news . That was why there was no response from the Xuantian Dao Sect .

When it came to the outside world’s suspicions, Long Chen and Li Tianxuan’s attitudes were almost the same . They would walk their own path, and any dogs yapping in the background could yap away .

However, this time, Long Chen felt irritated, and the flames of fury slowly began to grow in his heart . He didn’t know if he had been suppressed for too long or if it was the influence of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art . However, he was unable to remain indifferent .

“In my opinion, Long Chen is just-”

Two rank nine Celestials at the peak of Soul Transformation were sitting at a window table, chatting happily when they saw a certain person walk up . Their expressions immediately changed .
