Arc 17War of the Shattered Star
The Holy Alliance invaded the Nine Provinces, but Chen Ning and the realm’s forces defeated its armies and Saints. As the Shattered Star Realm’s people faced an uncertain fate, Chen Ning sought the Snow Mountain Dragon Clan’s help to save Hua Luo and risked his life to gain a True Dragon Body.
- Mu Tianji warned the superpower leaders that the Shattered Star Realm threatened the Nine Provinces, and the leaders agreed to prepare for the calamity.
- The Carefree Holy Son led the Holy Alliance into the Nine Provinces, where Chen Ning and the Dragon-Seeking Sect fought off repeated assaults and killed Lin Zhentian, Addiction Heavenly Venerable, Yu Xie, and other attackers.
- The Holy Alliance launched a major assault on Central Province, but Butcher, Hua Luo, Chen Ning, and the Heavenly Lake Holy Lord defeated its Saints, while White Bone Saint turned against his allies and Withered Wood Saint died.
- The victors established Heavenly Lake and the Dragon-Seeking Sect as the realm’s leading powers, and the Heavenly Lake Holy Lord agreed to spare the Shattered Star Realm’s people if they submitted.
- Hua Luo remained gravely ill, so Chen Ning and Mu Tianji traveled to the Great Snow Mountain and persuaded the White Dragon King to help her.
- The White Dragon King explained that Hua Luo’s seal had drained her life force and that Chen Ning needed to channel her sealed power to awaken her, offering him a True Dragon Body to endure the strain.
- Chen Ning accepted the Little Black Dragon’s Essence Blood and endured the destruction and regeneration of his body, refusing to give up as dragon roars sounded.
