Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 6089 Terrifying Eight Gates

Long Chen was flying through the air when he suddenly plummeted straight down, blowing a mountain to smithereens.

BOOM!

“Ugh.”

He spat out a mouthful of dirt and looked at the arm bracer in shock. He had merely activated the power of a single silver rod, and it felt like he had tied an iron boulder to a mosquito. Fortunately, he deactivated the weight runes in time. Otherwise, who knew how deep he would’ve gone?

“Damn, these things really are good!” Long Chen muttered, delighted.

This time, he carefully activated just a tenth of the weight runes on one silver rod. His arm sank instantly, but he could just barely manage it. The weight rune was far greater than he had thought.

“It looks like I overestimated myself.”

While enduring a tenth of a single rod’s power, he felt like a frail scholar trying to lift a barrel of water. His arm couldn’t stay stable.

Still, Long Chen activated the runes on all four bracers. The ground immediately collapsed beneath him. Only by unleashing his full Blood Qi could he avoid drilling through the earth.

Feeling the shocking weight on his arms and legs, he was excited.

With these divine items to assist him, his power would definitely rise quickly.

Long Chen stepped in the air. Despite his efforts to tread lightly, each step shook the void and caused the land to tremble. The bracers’ weight was simply terrifying.

He only managed to walk for an incense stick’s time before his limbs gave out. Sore all over, he was forced to deactivate the weight runes.

The moment he did so, his Blood Qi surged like a volcanic eruption. As expected, after Long Chen reached the Human Emperor realm, his physical body had stepped into an entirely new realm.

The intense stimulation from the weight caused his Blood Qi to condense even more. His body was visibly strengthening, and his foundation became increasingly solid.

The Human Emperor realm was truly miraculous. At his peak, the Nine Star Master had defied the heavens and changed the cultivation system of the world, binding the ten thousand races. Now Long Chen was experiencing that firsthand.

It felt like a nirvanic rebirth—a new start, a new state of being.

It had been a long time since he had felt his power growing so explosively. Just one training session with the weight runes had given him obvious improvements.

Furthermore, the training also stimulated his three bloodlines. Without any guidance, his qi, blood, tendons, bones, and meridians were all growing in harmony. He didn’t need to train them on purpose.

Most notably, the Supreme Bone at his abdomen started to throb faintly. That subtle ache spread across his entire body. Although it was light and didn’t interfere with his cultivation, he still couldn’t discern how the Supreme Bone was changing, no matter how long he observed it.

After resting, Long Chen activated the same weight runes again. This time, he managed to jog, though he was gasping like a beast. His heart pounded like a war drum until he had to stop once more.

This kind of foundational training required a back-to-basics approach. It was slow, but incredibly effective.

Sure enough, after resting, the bracers already felt lighter.

Long Chen started practicing martial forms—slow, deliberate punches and kicks. He made sure to avoid relying on momentum, using only muscle strength to move. That would allow the weight to deeply stimulate his body.

He was quickly drenched in sweat and had to rest again, but the improvement was clear. Each repetition honed his body further.

The moment Long Chen turned off the weight runes, his Blood Qi erupted like a volcano once again. It surged through his body with such force that ordinary meridians would have exploded.

However, Long Chen’s meridians were extremely tough. The stimulation of his Blood Qi had strengthened them. His qi flowed into every bone, tendon, and organ, fortifying every part of him.

Long Chen couldn’t help but exclaim, “This method is genius!”

The weight runes were even more effective than he had hoped.

After resting, Long Chen continued his exercise. As he grew accustomed to the burden, he became more efficient. By the end of a day and night, he could punch hard enough to send ripples through the void.

The energy rippling from his fists looked soft, but anything it touched would be obliterated.

“My physical strength has tripled compared to yesterday!”

He tested a few more punches. The current weight of one-tenth of a silver rod was no longer sufficient. But instead of increasing it, Long Chen held back.

He wanted a baseline for comparison. That was the only way to accurately judge how strong he had become.

“With this kind of power increase, I should be able to test the eight gates,” Long Chen muttered.

Summoning his starry sea, Long Chen formed hand seals and shouted, “Eight gates, open!”

The next moment, the eight divine gates opened, and eight beams of divine light converged on him.

“Shit!”

Long Chen’s expression changed, and he hastily dispelled the eight divine gates. Blood spurted from his mouth, and cracks spread across his skin. The moment the divine light touched him, he felt a power strong enough to crush him a thousand times over.

That divine light was merely the bridge. Once the astral energy started pouring through, he would be absorbing the divine gates themselves. However, he wasn’t ready for that.

If Long Chen had closed them a little bit slower, the astral energy from the gate would have blown him apart.

Long Chen was pale. The feeling of being that close to death… it was definitely stimulating.

With this, he confirmed that activating the eight gates was impossible for now.

The Eight Star Battle Armor normally allowed him to draw power like scooping water from a well. But the eight gates were a raging flood. The gap was far too wide.

“I can’t wait any longer. I have to go to Sovereign Mountain.”
