Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5251 Emperor Breaking Pills

Time had passed so quickly that the dragon race disciples could hardly believe it. In less than an hour, the four terrifying demonic beasts lay dead in front of them.

If the disciples didn’t recognize these creatures, they would have suspected the Dragonblood Legion of swapping out random corpses to deceive them. What shocked them even more was that each of these fearsome beasts only bore one fatal wound—they were killed with one blow.

To maximize their gains, the Dragonblood warriors forced the beasts to use up all their strongest divine abilities, exhausting them before landing the final blows. The strikes were clean to preserve the corpses, crystal cores, and Neidans. They were like professional hunters.

When these four bodies were presented, the so-called heavenly geniuses of the dragon race were utterly stunned. Only after showing them the corpses did Long Chen put them away.

As expected, this display of strength caused the previously stubborn and arrogant youths to quickly fall in line.

Seeing these once rebellious and fearless youths become obedient, the Dragon Domain’s elders exchanged glances, sighing inwardly. The reason they had failed to rein in these youngsters wasn’t a lack of respect or love—it was simply a matter of power. To command respect and authority, strength was essential. Without it, everything else was nonsense.

If Long Chen weren’t as powerful as he was, he would never have been able to control a group as formidable as the Dragonblood warriors. Now, the Dragon Domain’s people finally understood the true terror of the Dragonblood Legion. They were flawless—not just in strength, but also in resourcefulness, combat experience, and teamwork. Even the Human Emperors felt uneasy at the thought of facing them in a one-on-one battle.

Though the Human Emperors surpassed the Dragonblood warriors in raw power, if it came down to a fight to the death, the outcome might not favor them. The calm and fearlessness displayed by the Dragonblood warriors, even in the face of terrifying experts, was particularly frightening.

“Dean Long Chen, what should we do next?” asked the white dragon race leader.

“Wuyang and the others are injured and weary. You can rest here for a bit,” answered Long Chen.

“Just us? Dean Long Chen, are you planning to leave?” The Dragon Domain’s experts jumped in shock. At some point, Long Chen had become the mental pillar of the Dragon Domain, and without him, they immediately grew anxious.

“The ones with heavy injuries should stay and recuperate. Anyone who wants to exercise can come with us. We’re going to hunt the demonic beasts in the area,” said Long Chen.

Hearing that they were going hunting, Long Wuyang and the others instantly became revitalized.

“Our injuries are nothing. We can participate!” they exclaimed.

Their weariness was gone, replaced by a mix of admiration and awe for Long Chen’s power. Immense power always commanded respect, and in this case, a trace of worship.

The Ten Thousand Dragon Nests landed on the ground in a particular formation. This hunt could be considered a rehearsal. After all, they couldn’t just charge into the depths of the Endless Desolation in one go. Preparations were needed for a long journey and battles ahead.

As they attempted to form a coordinated battle array, their inexperience became evident, and their first attempt was downright embarrassing. The various dragon races couldn’t work together smoothly, and their formation was riddled with gaps that would be easily exploited by their enemies.

Long Chen watched their messy movements patiently, while the various race leaders broke into a sweat from anxiety.

It took them half a day to form a somewhat functional formation. Though rough, it was usable, but only after a full day of practice.

The dragon race leaders were all too embarrassed to even lift their heads. They had no right to criticize their disciples when they couldn’t form a proper array themselves. The way Long Chen silently observed them only drove them insane.

Once the formation was complete, Guo Ran and Xia Chen stepped forward. After a quick discussion, they made several adjustments and improvements. It became clear that professionals operated on an entirely different level. With their modifications, the formation turned into a solid fortress with no discernible flaws.

After that, Long Chen stayed here, while Gold Rhino charged out with the chariot, bringing the Dragonblood Legion and the Dragon Domain’s disciples with it.

The Dragon Domain’s leaders watched their disciples depart, their hearts heavy with mixed emotions. In truth, they wanted to go with them, but this hunt was for the younger generation. They couldn’t bring themselves to ask Long Chen for permission to join in.

Long Chen wasn’t worried about them. The Dragonblood Legion was quite strong and was accompanied by supreme experts like Yue Zifeng and Gold Rhino. Moreover, they were still at the border of the Endless Desolation, so their safety was ensured.

At this moment, Long Chen noticed something peculiar about the Heavenly Daos in the Endless Desolation. The cultivation environment here was different, causing them to advance rapidly.

In other words, cultivating here was twice as effective with half the effort. Considering that everyone else’s cultivation speeds were faster than him already, Long Chen had to work hard, or he’d be left in the dust.

“Don’t grumble about me not letting you join them. I have something better for you,” Long Chen said with a smirk.

He gathered the Human Emperors. They were startled but thrilled, knowing that if Long Chen promised something good, it was bound to be significant.

“I have a pill formula that can stimulate the essence of your reverse scales. Consuming them will allow you to become two-vein Empero—”

“What?!”

Everyone was patiently sitting at first, but the moment Long Chen said this, they shot to their feet, their disbelief written on their faces. Many of them were trembling with emotion.

“Don’t get too excited,” Long Chen cautioned. “This pill taps into the potential within your blood and bones. There’s a ninety percent chance you can break through your current limits and form two Emperor veins. But there’s a flaw—once you advance, it’s very likely that you’ll be stuck at the two-vein Emperor realm, unable to progress any further.”

“We’ve been stuck at our current level for countless years, so we’d given up hope of ever becoming two-vein Emperors. If you can help us achieve that, we... we...” The Human Emperors were overwhelmed with emotion, struggling to express their gratitude.

“Then come. Give me the essence blood of your reverse scales. I will refine your pills now.”

With that, Long Chen took out the Earth Cauldron, and the air was thick with excitement as the Human Emperors prepared for what could be the most significant moment in their lives.
