Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 2489 Snow White Robes

chapter 2489 snow white robes

the black flood came out of nowhere and was like an evil spear piercing out of the altar. even the dragon king’s corpse was unable to block it.

an aura of rot and death filled the air. just looking at the black flood made people feel a sharp pang in their souls.

“this aura... why is it so familiar?”

“it... it’s the aura of the heaven devouring black armor corps!”

“was this altar suppressing the hive of the black armor corps?!”

everyone’s expressions changed. the loss of the four divine bones had weakened the altar to the point that it could no longer seal the black armor corps.

all of a sudden, a figure charged out of the black flood. it was the corrupt path’s mysterious expert, ye ming.

startled cries rang out when people saw him. what was he doing inside of the black flood? was he related to it? just as everyone was filled with suspicions, they also noticed that ye ming was covered in blood. he had many cuts all over him.

a ray of sword-light flashed over. wanting to block it, ye ming roared and unleashed a ray of divine light, but it was shattered by the attack. the sword-light then pierced his shoulder, flying through with a bloody dart.

staring in shock, people wondered just who was so powerful that they could injure ye ming.

from within the black flood came another figure. he wore white robes untouched by dust. although everyone could see his shoulder-length hair, the strange thing was that they couldn’t see his face.

this white-robed man’s face was unclear, but his body still gave off a feeling of nobility and grace.

this nobility was not one of aloof arrogance, but one that made others feel as if he was worthy of following, a nobility that inspired reverence.

“that’s the aura of a sovereign!”

a startled cry rang out. this air was something only a sovereign should possess. so who was this person? was it another sovereign sprout? but even feng fei and zhao ritian lacked this kind of air. although they were powerful, they didn’t possess this nobility.

“who are you?!” roared ye ming, directly voicing everyone’s suspicions. was this person from the star field divine world?

the white-robed man didn’t reply. instead, he turned toward the distant long chen.

“it seems you obtained the dragon king’s essence blood. i was one step too late. even a sovereign can miscalculate,” said the white-robed man. his voice was simple and gentle, like a spring breeze. but there also seemed to be a sighing tone.

“the dragon king’s essence blood?”

as everyone was shocked, zhao ritian roared, “no wonder you had such power! you were using the dragon king’s power. when it runs out next time, i can kill you like killing a chicken!”

it seemed that zhao ritian had finally found an excuse to placate his heart. if long chen had used external power to beat him, then his defeat didn’t count.

long chen’s heart pounded. as expected. he was definitely yun shang’s descendant. their surnames were the same.

long chen sent the essence blood stone flying toward him. “my apologies. this should have been yours, but i took half.”

long chen had received great favor from yun shang. evilmoon was the gift that yun shang had left for him, and it had been a loyal companion that had saved his life countless times.

for long chen to have taken something that yun shang had left for his descendant definitely had the taste of biting the hand that fed you.

the white-robed man received the essence blood stone. when he looked up, this time long chen’s heart trembled. he vaguely saw a pair of familiar eyes. they were far too similar.

“could he be...?”

“no, he’s not yun shang. his bloodline fluctuations are very similar, but his spiritual fluctuations are completely different. furthermore, yun shang already became a sovereign and was branded into the heavenly daos. there is no way an identical sovereign can be born in one world. a sovereign cannot reincarnate, so he is not yun shang,” said evilmoon firmly.

having exchanged blows with yun shang, having been suppressed by yun shang’s seal for all these years, evilmoon was profoundly aware of his aura. so it was sure that this person was not yun shang.

“many thanks.” the white-robed man cupped his fists. “as expected of the person that sovereign yun shang favors. you are even willing to give away such a priceless treasure. i’ve decided that you are definitely worth befriending.”

long chen was unable to remain calm. this feeling of being basked in sunlight, this feeling of having the heart warmed, his tone, his eyes, they were all far too similar to yun shang.

long chen nodded. “sovereign yun shang blessed me with his favor, and i was never able to repay him. if you are the one to continue the sovereign’s legacy, i am willing to help you.”

these words shocked everyone. was long chen saying he was willing to help someone else become the number one expert of this world? this was startling, as long chen had never submitted to anyone else before.

they then looked at the white-robed man, as well as thought about how they kept talking about sovereign yun shang. a wild possibility appeared in their minds and it dumbfounded them.

“it’s impossible. the five sovereigns were all solitary figures without partners, let alone descendants...”

everyone began to suspect his identity, but it was impossible for him to be a sovereign’s descendant. unless... was he a sovereign’s disciple?

the white-robed man smiled. although his face was unclear, it still gave off a refreshing feeling.

“sovereign yun shang’s will has long since been entrusted to the land of the martial heaven continent. there are no sovereign sprouts in this world, or perhaps i should say that everyone is a sovereign sprout. man or woman, human or not, righteous or corrupt, good or evil, every person has the possibility of becoming a sovereign. the most basic requirement for becoming a sovereign is to understand what it means to sacrifice oneself. long chen, amongst all the geniuses, you are the one that possesses the greatest chance of continuing the legacy of the sovereigns. you are the one with the greatest possibility of becoming a sovereign,” said the white-robed man profoundly.

these words made di feng, zhao ritian, feng fei, and ye ming’s expressions change. they thought of a frightening possibility.

“become a sovereign? he might not even be living past today.”

ye ming suddenly took the initiative in attacking the white-robed man with his jagged sword.

following ye ming’s lead, zhao ritian, feng fei, and di feng also attacked, but their target was long chen.
