Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts-Chapter 6154 Merging Into One

Long Chen thought about it. Now truly was the best time to refine the blood moon runes. If something happened to the original devil race while he stayed behind, he would still be here to respond.

Another reason was the pressure from Fan Ji’s appearance. Who would have thought that there existed something called divine sprouts among Sovereign sprouts?

Divine sprouts were practically cheating. As long as they had the talent and enough resources, they could directly skip the Divine Emperor realm and become Sovereign Lords. That was insane.

If Fan Ji really became a Sovereign Lord while Long Chen remained stuck as a Human Emperor—or even at the Divine Emperor realm—it would spell trouble.

“Hehe, Long Chen, do you know, more and more, I feel like we were destined to meet,” Evilmoon chuckled.

“What the fuck? I get goosebumps when you say that. Euw, could it be that I really am your destined one?” Long Chen pretended to vomit.

“Tch, shut up. My blood moon state requires an enormous amount of Spiritual Strength. And you... your Spiritual Strength has been a blank space all these years. Isn’t that like you’ve been waiting for me?” said Evilmoon excitedly.

“Spiritual Strength?”

Long Chen was startled. His Spiritual Strength was vast indeed, but he had never truly tapped into its full potential.

Aside from refining pills, Long Chen rarely used his Spiritual strength. And even the amount used for pill refining was negligible to him.

His vast Spiritual Strength had gone mostly unused for years. As his realm grew, so did it, but it remained without a purpose.

Long Chen had thought about cultivating soul arts, but he didn’t have the time and energy to do them. Cultivating his three bloodlines and astral energy already took all his time.

“Evilmoon, let me just say... I don’t have that much time and energy for...”

“I don’t need you to train it. Just follow my instructions. Refine the blood moon runes, and our souls will truly merge into one. My power will be your power, and your power will be mine, hahaha!” Evilmoon laughed.

The Earth Cauldron trembled, as though it wanted to speak, but ultimately remained silent.

“Our souls will merge into one?” Long Chen asked, surprised.

“You can treat it like the human race’s equal spiritual contracts. You understand now, right?” said Evilmoon.

Hearing that, Long Chen fell silent.

Now, it was Evilmoon’s turn to be surprised. It asked, “What? You don’t want to?”

Long Chen took a deep breath.

“We can’t have an equal contract. My will must supersede yours.”

“What?!” Evilmoon exploded. Countless petals flew through the air, forming a ferocious dragon that roared, “You don’t trust me?! You want to be my master and turn me into your slave?!”

A violent aura was raging, and the entire world trembled. Long Chen had never seen Evilmoon so angry.

Long Chen was silent. He clenched his fists until blood dripped from his palms.

“It’s that damn cauldron again! Always stirring trouble! Get out here, you old thing! I’ll crush you right now!” Evilmoon roared, its massive form thrashing through the air.

Shaking his head, Long Chen said, “This has nothing to do with Senior. Evilmoon, if you’re unwilling... you can leave.”

“You...” Evilmoon quivered. It couldn’t believe what it was hearing.

“Give me a reason!”

Long Chen remained silent.

“Are you mute?! Tell me, why?!” Evilmoon demanded.

Long Chen was trembling but still said nothing.

“SPEAK!”

Evilmoon coiled around Long Chen, its killing intent blazing.

There was no spiritual contract between them. If Evilmoon truly wanted to kill Long Chen, he had no way to stop it.

This was precisely why Evilmoon trusted Long Chen so deeply—and why his refusal felt like such a betrayal.

For Long Chen to refuse an equal spiritual contract between them, Evilmoon went crazy.

Unable to bear it anymore, Long Chen roared back, “I don’t want a repeat of what happened on the Martial Heaven Continent!”

The moment Evilmoon heard that, its killing intent vanished.

“In that battle, you sacrificed yourself to save me. You were a hero. But what about me? Do you know how much pain I was in after that? Every night, when I closed my eyes, I could see the scene of you shattering in front of me. You heartless bastard, do you know what kind of hell you’ve put me through?!” Long Chen roared, his voice cracked with emotion.

Evilmoon had been his most trusted battle companion. After that battle, it took Long Chen a long time to climb out of the shadow it left behind.

Even after ascending to the immortal world—even while pretending to be optimistic and moving forward—Long Chen had only been lying to himself. Only he knew how much it hurt. But he was a stubborn man, and he endured it silently.

Now, everything burst out. He refused an equal contract between them, not because he didn’t trust Evilmoon. Evilmoon was still a comrade he could trust without hesitation, someone he would sacrifice his life for.

However, the road ahead was too perilous. Who knew what kind of enemies awaited? He would not allow the same thing to happen again.

With an equal contract, Evilmoon would sacrifice itself for Long Chen again. But if he held the controlling will, Evilmoon wouldn’t be able to defy his orders.

“If such danger comes again, then we die together. Do you think it’s noble for one of us to die and leave the pain to the other?” Long Chen shouted.

This time, Evilmoon was the one left speechless. It hadn’t realized how much Long Chen had suffered after that battle. Even after so many years together, it realized it still didn’t fully understand him.

Long Chen wasn’t as strong as he appeared. In some ways, he was very fragile.

The petals faded and reappeared in Long Chen’s mind-sea.

“You can start,” said Evilmoon frostily.

“Have you thought it through?” Long Chen took a deep breath.

“Thought what through? Hurry up. Hmph, seeing a man like you crying disgusts me. I’m not going to be so emotional like a certain person,” snorted Evilmoon.

Long Chen’s mind-sea surged. A giant blood-colored moon slowly rose within it, turning the entire space into a sea of blood.

The Earth Cauldron secretly let out a sigh of relief.

“The survival of the nine heavens might have just been decided at this moment. Even now, Evilmoon doesn’t know who it is. Could it be some kind of hidden karma?”
