Chapter 5172 No More Starry River of the Sky Art

chapter 5172 no more starry river of the sky art

“you’re really not coming with me? i admit you’re strong, but you aren’t ready to fight the top experts yet. take a trip with me. if we find a usable emperor corpse, i will make a puppet for you. with your power, raising a human emperor puppet shouldn’t be a problem, and having one would guarantee your safety. worst case, it could buy you time to escape. i’d feel a lot better knowing you had that kind of protection,” said mo nian.

mo nian knew that long chen had more enemies than he did, and they were all extremely terrifying. moreover, long chen had a home and family, which made them easy targets.

on the other hand, mo nian was alone, free to come and go wherever he wanted. even if he offended the brahma pill valley, they wouldn’t be able to track him that easily. that was why he was particularly worried about long chen’s safety.

mo nian had advanced to the eternal realm and awakened the limitless palace’s secret arts, mastering a heaven-defying puppet technique. with it, he wanted to make one formidable puppet for long chen to ensure his safety.

hearing mo nian’s concern, long chen felt a warm current in his heart. despite being in a difficult situation himself, mo nian was still thinking about him. having such a brother was truly a blessing of a lifetime.

“our paths are different. i still have more potential to dig up, so there’s no need for me to waste my time on other things. i have to study my own cultivation technique right now. once that’s done, my power will definitely shock you. by then, saying that i am unrivaled beneath human emperors won’t be bragging,” said long chen.

“alright then. i won’t push it anymore. i’ll see if i can get a few more puppets, and if i manage to get some extras, i’ll send them your way,” mo nian said, respecting long chen’s decision.

“then let’s part ways here.”

long chen and mo nian exchanged a pat on the shoulder before nodding and setting off in separate directions.

long chen then took out a compass that xia chen had made for him, which indicated the direction of the high firmament academy. however, he was so far from the academy that the needle couldn’t pinpoint a precise direction. after activating it ten times, with it pointing in one general direction seven times, long chen decided to head off in that direction.

“yes, exactly, that’s what i felt! it was a very clear feeling!” long chen nodded. if not for this feeling, he wouldn’t have made such an arrogant claim. it wasn’t bragging but confidence drawn from the depths of his soul.

“your premonition was correct. however, you were lacking domineeringness. afraid of others recognizing your status, you use the starry river of the sky art to cover up your aura. that’s what resulted in the failure. i will tell you clearly, from now on, you can no longer use the starry river of the sky art to cover up the nine star hegemon body art because the eight star battle armor’s power far surpasses the limits of the starry river of the sky art,” explained the earth cauldron.

“in other words, i can no longer conceal my status?” asked long chen, his heart shaking.

the earth cauldon responded, “correct. the eight star battle armor embodies a supreme yang force. it is wild and domineering. you must have the courage to advance without hesitation, to face a hundred deaths without regret. you were fortunate to have evilmoon’s help, but there may not be a next time. the aura of the eight star battle armor is established and will not permit you to mask it with any other force. now, try using the starry river of the sky.”

long chen immediately attempted to summon the starry river manifestation, but there was no response. it felt as if his body had lost the pathway for the starry river of the sky art’s circulation. even his memories of it became hazy.

“this is...” long chen’s jaw dropped in shock.

“the starry river of the sky art has been absorbed by the eight star battle armor. you can now only use the true nine star hegemon body art!” said the earth cauldron.

“i see. so that’s the case.” long chen understood. as he focused, the starry sea in his dantian began to circulate rapidly, and a powerful aura swelled within him.

unable to contain his excitement, he shouted, “eight star battle armor!”

at his command, eight stars illuminated behind long chen simultaneously, and a supreme yang force radiated throughout the air.
