Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 622

The chaos region was located to the far east . The Eastern Wasteland was already known as a barren land, but the chaos region was indescribably desolate .

There was not a blade of grass growing within millions of miles . It was not a desert, nor was the ground rock . It was a vast, earthen land . But there was nothing that grew out of this soil .

Tens of thousands of years ago, there had been someone to notice mineral deposits here . This barren land, which no one had shown any interest in before, immediately became a land of gold .

Countless sects flocked over from both the Righteous and Corrupt paths . The first thing to do here was to fight for territory .

As a result, a huge war had erupted . Rivers of blood had flowed from both sides . Oftentimes, when the Righteous path fought such large scale wars with the Corrupt path, when they lost a certain number of people, the Righteous path would give up and retreat .

But with the thick profits in front of them, the Righteous path erupted with unprecedented strength, and that immense war greatly harmed the core strength of the two paths .

In the end, both parties had no choice but to temporarily put a halt to their battles . They took up their own territories, each side mining their own ores .

Both sides had each minded their own business, forming a temporary ceasefire . But although the battle between the Righteous and Corrupt paths had ended, a civil war had then erupted within the Righteous path . That was because those individual powers all hoped to get more territories and profit .

Because they had participated in the immense war with the Corrupt path, they had lost many of their experts . They needed more profit to make up for it . As a result, who had helped the most and who had helped the least had become a matter of controversial discussion .

For a huge existence like the Xuantian Dao Sect, they naturally had to have a larger territory than others . But the other large powers also wanted to obtain a larger territory . In the end, no one yielded to anyone, and a battle began again .

The Xuantian Dao Sect had also tried to mediate, but it had little effect . Although it appeared like they had laid down their arms in public, the various powers began to stab each other in the back .

If they didn't overstep their territories to mine ore, they secretly played dirty tricks, intentionally collapsing other powers' mines . The situation grew more and more disorderly until the Corrupt path finally joined in . The war broke out again .

In the end, everyone had no choice but to turn this place into a kind of training ground . Everyone agreed that no one was permitted to send Sea Expansion experts or above . The ore they could extract would be based on the strength of the disciples they sent over .

As a result, countless experts were sent over to the chaos region each year . They not only protected their own mines, but they also often looked for opportunities to pull some sinister tricks .

Over time, the chaos region became a completely lawless place . Everyone here had to live in worry . It was worse than living in a prison .

Within the chaos region, there was a simple and crude city that was simply named Chaos City . This was the only city in the vicinity .

Members of both the Righteous and Corrupt paths would go there to eat and drink . Chaos City's most prosperous businesses were its brothel and casino .

Any people who were sent here, no matter what side they were on, were all people who had made mistakes and were being penalized . There were also a few fugitives who didn't like being constrained .

As long as you dared risk your life here, it was extremely easy to make a profit . Any miner could make as much as an ordinary sect's core disciple .

So despite this place being extremely disorderly, despite the fact that you could lose your life at any moment, there were still countless criminals who gathered here .

Buzz .

A transportation formation lit up, and Long Chen's group appeared on the fringes of the chaos region . They saw an endless, barren land before them .

"Boss, this is a bit too desolate . " Guo Ran looked around . The ground was covered with dust, and an aura of decay filled the air .

"This place is just the border . There's no way to use a transportation formation into the core of the chaos region . " Long Chen laughed .

"Why not?"

"Because this place is just too chaotic . It's possible for a slaughter to erupt at any moment . There's no way to maintain a transportation formation here . "

"Tch, you stupid brats, hurry up and get off . No one can use the transportation formation while you stand on it . "

Just as Long Chen was examining his surroundings, a dozen Xiantian experts appeared beside the formation . The one angrily yelling at them was a man with a blade scar on his face .

These people in charge of the transportation formation were on the side of the Righteous path . They didn't belong to any sect . Their members rotated through to protect the formation . That way, it was less likely for anyone to destroy it .

Long Chen smiled coldly . He walked out of the formation first . Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er followed behind him . This transportation formation had been large enough for all the Dragonblood Legion to arrive in one go .

"Oh, these two girls really are beautiful . Little girl, how about you come with me-"

A Xiantian expert looked at Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er lewdly, but he only got half his words out before Long Chen pointed his finger at him . A bolt of lightning turned him into a bloody mist .

That Xiantian expert's death startled all the other guards . They had already sensed that these people's cultivation bases were only in the Meridian Opening realm . That was the only reason that person had dared to take some liberties . They hadn't expected that a sentence from him would send him directly to the gates of the Yama King .

"Who are you people?" Another Xiantian expert cautiously shouted, raising his weapon .

"It's not important who we are . Let me just tell you a simple principle: a loose tongue can cause a great deal of trouble," said Long Chen indifferently .

"Bastard, you really are arrogant . Die!"

Who knew whether it was because this person was given a boost in confidence from the weapon in his hand, but he actually stabbed his spear at Long Chen .

He was clearly attacking with his full power . The void trembled around this spear . There was no choice but to admit that this person was truly strong .

Long Chen didn't even move . That person's head flew into the air, his expression bewildered . He didn't even know who killed him .

The sound of a sword returning to its sheath rang out .

"Yue Zifeng, you're getting faster and faster . "

Long Chen nodded toward Yue Zifeng . His comprehension of the Sword Dao grew every day, and his attacks struck incredibly quickly and silently without any sign .

"You… who are you people?"

Now the other Xiantian experts were all turned into wooden blocks . They had actually been planning on teaching these youngsters a lesson previously .

"Remember, a loose tongue can cause a great deal of trouble . "

Long Chen indifferently replied before bringing his people away . But then after just taking a few steps, he suddenly paused and turned to look at the person who had spoken .

That person immediately stiffened, feeling like he was being stared at by a death god . In that instant, he felt like his heart had stopped beating .

The sword in his hand fell to the ground .

"Where is the Xuantian Dao Sect's mining site?"

"It's… it's… it's…"

That person could only stutter . He found that his own tongue was no longer listening to him . In the end, he finally managed to spit out some directions .

When Long Chen and the others finally left, that person couldn't stay standing anymore and fell to the ground . He was drenched in sweat, looking as if he had just come out of a pool .

"What a terrifying gaze . "

Looking in the direction Long Chen had gone, that person was still filled with terror .

"Brother Qiang, was he that terrifying?" The others didn't understand .

"He didn't stare at you . Otherwise, you would have immediately pissed yourself . Fuck, I'm leaving the chaos region . I'm going to find somewhere to pass the rest of my days in peace . "

After saying that, the person walked onto the transportation formation in front of the others' bizarre gazes and then disappeared .

Long Chen led his group according to that person's directions . After another thousand miles, they would reach the true mining region .

As expected, after going over a small mountain, they saw some sparse, mud buildings . There would be one or two every few hundred miles . Within those buildings was a tunnel entrance, which was presumably an entrance to the mine .

Before coming here, Long Chen had inquired about this place . Apparently, there was plenty of black gold ore . Black gold was an important material in refining Xiantian weapons .

If it was just the black gold ore, it wouldn't be able to draw over so many experts . The main thing was that black gold ore was something that had another precious material occasionally born with it .

That kind of material was called Phoenix Blood Black Gold . That was a material to forge Treasure items . That was the real reason why the Righteous and Corrupt paths would fight so fiercely .

Xiantian weapons were for Xiantian experts . Above Xiantian weapons were Enchanted weapons used by Sea Expansion experts . The special formations carved on top of them made them much stronger . Back then, the Yin family's patriarch had used a dragon-headed staff that was an Enchanted weapon .

As for Treasure items, they were also sometimes called magical weapons, or even Daoist weapons . Their power was truly amazing . The Jade Sea Gold Bell was one example .

However, it had been extremely heavily damaged before, or Long Chen would have been killed under its power .

Treasure items were something only experts above the Sea Expansion could truly use . So it was naturally impossible for people to stay calm in front of the allure of such a thing .

However, after mining for these many years, everyone was dejected . In less than a hundred more years, all the ore would be extracted . But that legendary Phoenix Blood Black Gold had yet to appear .

So in the past few years, this 'treasure land' had lost its allure . Since the Phoenix Blood Black Gold had yet to appear in all these years, it could only be said that there was simply none of it present . Otherwise, they would have found signs of it long ago .

According to legend, in the immortal era, there were divine phoenixes in the world, existences so powerful that a single flap of their wings could destroy stars . When one of them died, their essence blood would seep into the ground .

And if the ground happened to have a black gold mine, then it could form Phoenix Blood Black Gold . However, even after all these years, there wasn't the slightest sign of it . The result was already obvious .

So now, this chaos region was of little value to the various powers . As a result, this place had become a prison for disciples who had committed crimes .

Long Chen saw quite a few experts on the way . They were lying down, soaking in the light of the setting sun . Apparently, despite their relaxed position, they were on duty . This kind of duty did look very comfortable .

But when those people saw Long Chen and the others, they smiled sinisterly . It was like they were seeing the younger versions of themselves, back when they had also been so naive .

Long Chen ignored those people . Eventually, he finally reached a large building . This was the Xuantian Dao Sect's mining region .
