Chapter 6448 Confidence

The colossal heavenly saber radiated killing intent so sharp it seemed to cut through space. The moment it appeared, it froze Bing Yi in place, as if even her soul were being pulled from her flesh.

“What kind of move is this?!” she shouted.

For the first time, true shock appeared on her face.

Long Chen’s dragon blood Sovereign flames had just ignited when Evilmoon devoured them whole. Those flames were too violent, and Long Chen had not finished purifying the evil element within them using his violet blood. That made them impossible for him to use in battle.

However, through Evilmoon, he could still unleash their power.

Evilmoon controlled the dragon blood Sovereign flames, and Long Chen controlled Evilmoon. That was the strength of man and saber becoming one.

“Who cares what this is?! I’ll still break it!”

Seeing the colossal heavenly saber slashing toward her, Bing Yi slammed her hands together. The next moment, the star diagram behind her shuddered and formed a giant gate.

As it creaked open, an enormous hand reached out from within. The world trembled violently, unable to contain its presence.

“Heavenly Star Fist!” Bing Yi roared and threw a punch. The giant astral hand mirrored her motion, hurling its power forward.

BANG!

Evilmoon collided with the giant astral hand. The impact burst like a supernova firework, dyeing the sky with destruction.

Just as everyone thought both attacks would annihilate each other, the giant Evilmoon sliced through the chaos like a devil’s fang cleaving through clouds.

“What?!”

The nine star heirs were all shocked. How could this saber destroy Bing Yi’s divine ability?

“Hmph, it’s exhausted!” Bing Yi shouted coldly, swinging her astral arm to meet the attack head-on.

BOOM!

Bing Yi staggered back, leaving ripples on the void with every bounce.

“That was a good one!” Evilmoon shouted, its voice brimming with wild delight. “Long Chen, are you alright? It’s been ages since I’ve had a fight this fun!”

“I’m fine,” Long Chen replied steadily. “But can you endure that chaotic power?”

After all, the dragon blood Sovereign flames were savage beyond belief. While Long Chen could channel their force, it was Evilmoon that withstood all the backlash.

“No problem at all. Keep going!” urged Evilmoon.

In the distance, Bing Yi had just steadied herself. Her hair was in disarray, and she looked a bit shaken.

“You’ve used three kinds of bloodline power,” she said darkly. “Not bad. But those three attacks drained them all. Come, show me what else you’ve got!”

The stars behind Bing Yi erupted, and her astral flames ignited her aura crazily.

“Heavens, Mistress Bing Yi has ignited her astral Sovereign flames! How could Long Chen press her to this point?!” shouted one nine star heir.

The nine star heirs were aghast. To ignite her astral Sovereign flames was to risk everything—it was her final trump card.

What they didn’t know was that Long Chen’s three previous strikes had already drawn on the full power of his violet blood, Supreme Blood, and dragon blood Sovereign flames.

From afar, the spectators could only sense fragments of that terrifying energy, but Bing Yi had felt it. Only she knew just how terrifying those three attacks had been.

With the flame of rage burning within her, Bing Yi no longer cared that her essence divine rune was imperfect. She ignited her astral Sovereign flames anyway, forcing her power upward even if her body couldn’t endure it.

Each pulse of Bing Yi’s Sovereign flames sent a tremor through heaven and earth—through every heart present.

The original devil experts fared slightly better under the Earth Cauldron’s protection, yet even they felt as if a pair of invisible hands were clutching their hearts, threatening to crush them.

Long Chen was panting slightly. Having exhausted three kinds of bloodline power, he felt like he had been sucked dry. It was something he had never experienced before. Were it not for his powerful physical body, the sudden plunge from full to empty would have shattered him.

“Are you out of power, you ant?” Bing Yi mocked, her eyes glinting coldly. “How disappointing. I just ignited my astral Sovereign flames for you. I thought the real battle had just started.”

Resting Evilmoon on his shoulder, Long Chen took a deep breath to stabilize his breathing.

With a confident tone, he said, “You’re right, the real battle starts now.”

Gasps rippled through the crowd.

Other than Yue Xiaoqian, everyone—both the nine star heirs and the original devil experts—was taken aback. Seeing Long Chen panting, they had assumed he was running out of energy. So, how could he still sound so confident?

Then, Long Chen’s aura changed. With Evilmoon resting on his shoulder, he stood as straight as a spear. His hair slowly billowed as a vast aura surged out of him.

Specks of starlight started to gather behind him. As each star flared to life one after another, Long Chen’s figure grew ethereal and divine.

Long Chen declared, “As a nine star heir, I may not have inherited your so-called high-level cultivation techniques and Battle Skills, but I have inherited the Nine Star Master’s iron will and the Pill Sovereign’s indomitable spirit. You orthodox nine star heirs are filled with greed and wickedness—you’ve really disappointed me.

“Based on my experience, the light of the stars only shines in the night sky to guide those lost in darkness. It shows them the way, so they do not fall into an even darker abyss. However, your starlight is already corrupted; your hearts are no longer pure. You’ve long strayed from the true path.”

Long Chen’s voice rolled through the void like a drumbeat in the dead of night, each word echoing through the heavens.

At this moment, the hearts of the nine star heirs shook. Long Chen had not fully released his aura, yet their astral energy already quivered under the pressure.

“The true path?”

Bing Yi laughed mockingly. “Hahaha! One of the lowest-tier nine star heirs dares to lecture the noble Heaven-tier heirs? Where does your confidence come from?”

Although Long Chen’s astral energy was powerful, Bing Yi still looked down on him. In fact, she hoped that Long Chen would get stronger, or she would have ignited her astral Sovereign flames for nothing.

“Then I will show you where my confidence comes from!” Long Chen exclaimed.

Once Long Chen’s starry sea covered the sky, one astral gate after another opened.
