Chapter 6444 Killing Jue Xing

As the flame lotus bloomed, one could see countless Golden Crows, Jade Rabbits, and towering divine trees burning within it.

This lotus was like a miniature world of fire—beast flames, earth flames, and heavenly flames all fused into one. Ten thousand beasts roared as they flew through the air. The heavens thundered, the earth quaked, and the very Dao trembled beneath its might.

This immense flame energy indeed carried the power to exterminate worlds. As it hurtled toward Jue Xing, terror filled his heart.

With a roar, his eight stars vanished from behind him, their energy surging madly into his flying hammer.

The hammer blazed like a newborn sun, its radiance blinding. Using every last shred of astral energy he possessed, Jue Xing smashed it straight into the World Extermination Flame Lotus.

BOOM!

The terrifying shockwave sent many experts tumbling through the air.

When the dust settled, the half-broken hammer fell to the ground, pulverizing a boulder beneath it. Its chain had disintegrated into dust.

Jue Xing’s figure was gone. Only scattered bones glowing faintly with starlight remained, marking the spot where he had fallen.

“Jue Xing is dead!”

The nine-star heirs were struck dumb with horror. Jue Xing was one of the brightest prodigies of their lineage—his strength second only to Bing Yi’s. To them, he was an invincible existence. None could believe he had been slain here.

At this moment, Huo Linger looked pale, and the light around her was dim. Lei Linger rushed to her side, worry etched across her face.

“I’m fine,” Huo Linger said, waving her off with a faint smile. “I’ve burned through more than eighty percent of my energy, but I can still fight. We’ve completed the task Big Brother Long Chen gave us. Now, we have to help the original devil race.”

Long Chen’s vision was sharp. From the start, he had recognized Jue Xing as the second most dangerous foe on the battlefield. If he had broken into the original devil race’s camp, the casualties would have been devastating.

While Cang Lu could have held Jue Xing off, it would have been a stalemate at best. In any case, Cang Lu was just a battle puppet driven purely by instinct and didn’t know how to use his brain. So, Long Chen had not been at ease leaving Jue Xing to him.

In the end, Long Chen had sent Huo Linger and Lei Linger to restrain Jue Xing and prevent him from joining the battle.

Yue Xiaoqian was single-handedly fending off three One Merger experts. Though she fought fiercely, she had no strength to spare to aid others.

Cang Lu, meanwhile, was locked in combat against a group of top nine star heirs. He was too powerful to be easily defeated yet too besieged to help others.

Although the original devil race held the advantage in numbers, the first clash had already forced them onto the defensive. If this continued, then the moment an opening appeared in their defenses, they would be torn apart.

All of these nine star heirs had summoned their Star Battle Armors, wielding colossal broadswords that unleashed heaven-rending power with every swing. Even with the Cursed Spirit Blood Crow suppressing them, they could still push the original devil race into a precarious position.

Seeing the tide of battle turn against them, Huo Linger had no choice but to unleash her ultimate trump card.

This technique was truly powerful, but far from stable. She had not yet fully mastered it, and this single strike drained nearly eighty percent of her core energy. In the process, it also drew upon half the energy stored within the Fusang Trees and Moon Trees.

Fortunately, the gamble paid off. The devastating attack had slain the terrifying Jue Xing outright. With his death, the morale of the nine-star heirs plummeted, while the original devil race’s spirits soared.

BOOM!

Suddenly, the heavens split apart with a sound like the world itself being torn in two.

Long Chen had deliberately drawn Bing Yi away from the main battlefield, keeping her from interfering with the others.

When they returned, Yue Xiaoqian and the others’ hearts trembled. Three deep wounds marred Long Chen’s body—one on his shoulder, one along his ribs, and one piercing his thigh. Blood flowed freely.

On the other hand, Bing Yi’s Star Battle Armor was completely intact, gleaming coldly under the shattered sky. That sight made despair creep into their hearts.

When Bing Yi’s eyes fell upon Jue Xing’s shattered bones, her face contorted with rage. Her aura flared violently.

“You dare kill my general?!” she screamed, her voice echoing across heaven and earth. “All of you will pay for this foolishness!”

Seeing her face, Long Chen sneered disdainfully. “Your general? It seems your nine star line has quite the hierarchy. If he’s a general, what does that make you—a commander? And above you, a king? Or perhaps... the so-called Star Prince?”

Bing Yi’s gaze turned glacial. With a voice dripping with contempt, she replied, “A low-tier nine star heir like you—a beggar roaming the nine heavens—is not qualified to ask these questions. You baited me away to kill Jue Xing? Good, very clever. Now, all of you can accompany him!”

At her words, the stars upon her armor flared like miniature suns. Astral radiance poured from her, eclipsing even Huo Linger’s World Extermination Flame Lotus.

“You fools, you’ve truly enraged Mistress Bing Yi. Now, she’s using her essence rune to unleash astral laws! Just wait for your death!” shouted one of the nine star heirs.

All the nine star heirs immediately retreated from the battlefield. After witnessing Jue Xing’s death, none of them dared remain within the range of Bing Yi’s wrath. If they were to stay on the battlefield now, they would die.

“Long Chen...!”

Yue Xiaoqian’s heart tightened as Bing Yi’s aura soared higher and higher, seemingly without limit. It was as though the heavens themselves were bending beneath her presence.

Yue Xiaoqian wanted to help him, but she was afraid she would only hold him back. The helplessness tore at her.

If only Bing Yi had been of the devil race, Yue Xiaoqian could have used her rune to suppress her. But she had only recently awakened her Essence Rune, and its true potential was still beyond her control.

The Cursed Spirit Blood Crow’s large body shrank down. It landed on Yue Xiaoqian’s shoulder and rubbed her cheek lightly as if comforting her.

“Long Chen...” whispered Fei Shuang, her fists clenching so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

Long Chen had kept his promise—waging war against the nine-star line itself for the sake of their original devil race. For an outsider like them, he was willing to defy those who should have been his allies... this struck Fei Shuang’s heart like a blade.

Tears welled in her eyes. The original devil race had been reviled, hunted, and cornered by the world. Yet when they had no one left to rely on, this man stood before them.

Then the world blazed white. The light was so bright it seemed to devour all color, all sound, all breath.

When it finally faded, the battlefield was deathly silent, and they could see Bing Yi again. But before anyone could see clearly what had changed, that terrifying pressure crashed down like the heavens collapsing, threatening to crush every soul beneath it.
