Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5252 Advancement

BOOM!

The Earth Cauldron quivered. Under the gaze of the dragon experts, a blood-colored pill with a few twinkling golden marks shot out of it. When the pill appeared, a powerful Emperor might radiated from it, shaking all their hearts. The pill exuded the aura of a two-vein Emperor.

“That’s...”

The red dragon race leader had just watched his own essence blood merging with over three hundred medicinal ingredients and turning into a pill. He was unable to speak for a long time. The pill carried the same bloodline fluctuations as him, but its aura was countless times more immense.

“You can eat it and go into seclusion!” Long Chen instructed as he handed the Emperor Breaking Pill to the red dragon race leader.

Reverently, the leader accepted the pill and bowed deeply before leaving. Witnessing this, the rest of the dragon race experts felt their hearts blaze with excitement. They no longer doubted what Long Chen had said.

In truth, they had already placed great trust in Long Chen. However, they couldn’t believe that such a miraculous pill truly existed. Now, seeing it with their own eyes, they were convinced.

The second Human Emperor stepped forward. After he had extracted his essence blood, Long Chen refined another pill.

“Senior, are you sure the Dragon Sovereign will not be displeased with our actions?” Long Chen asked the Earth Cauldron.

“You still don’t get it? Although the Dragon Sovereign is deeply disappointed in its descendants, they are still its descendants. They haven’t done anything unforgivable. Given its pride, it won’t directly tell you to help them, but you should take the initiative,” responded the Earth Cauldron.

Long Chen instantly understood. He had been slow in realizing this. He had thought that the Dragon Sovereign had abandoned its descendants in disappointment. Thinking about it, he realized that this anger was only temporary. How could the Dragon Sovereign really not care about its descendants?

It was the Earth Cauldron who had brought up the Emperor Breaking Pill. At first, Long Chen had thought that the Earth Cauldron wanted him to refine the pills for himself, but he now understood it was primarily for the benefit of the dragon race.

With the Earth Cauldron’s reminder, Long Chen decided to pay some special attention to the Dragon Domain’s disciples. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to pay back the Dragon Sovereign for all of its care. Just as he was lamenting not having an opportunity to return the favor, one had presented itself.

One Emperor Breaking Pill after another was refined. The Earth Cauldron had no difficulty creating them, and Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength and dragon blood energy had strengthened significantly after advancing to the Eternal realm. He only needed to infuse a trace of Sovereign blood energy into each pill. It hardly took any effort on his part.

In just a single day, hundreds of Emperor Breaking Pills were completed. The Dragon Domain’s foundation was truly strong.

Even some of the oldest Human Emperors, who had long been sealed away due to their dwindling life force, came out. These elders had exhausted their longevity and had only survived by sealing themselves as a last resort for their races, ready to make one final stand when needed.

At first, they were incredulous when told they could break through to the two-vein Emperor realm. Some of these elders even tried to strike those who had awakened them, thinking it was a cruel joke. But when they saw the Emperor Breaking Pills, they too were filled with excitement and immediately went into seclusion to cultivate.

By this time, the Dragonblood Legion had returned from their first hunt. They had brought back a Black Scale Fiend Drake with a particularly terrifying aura. Even in death, it was emitting such a suffocating presence.

“You went out with them for revenge?” Long Chen asked Gold Rhino.

“No, we just happened to run into it while it was fighting a blood eagle. It’s even stronger now. Without everyone’s help, I wouldn’t have been able to defeat it!” said Gold Rhino.

Gold Rhino had unexpectedly encountered its mortal foe during the hunt. The fiend drake had clearly grown stronger while recuperating, likely approaching the threshold of a three-vein Emperor.

As Long Chen was examining the corpses, he furrowed his brows. “All these demonic beasts have traces of medicinal energy in their bodies, and the Black Scale Fiend Drake has the most. It must have consumed quite a few medicinal pills made by the Brahma Pill Valley. Their influence has reached the Endless Desolation. Oddly, it seems they’ve only started recently. Otherwise, they would’ve already taken control of these beasts.”

Guo Ran pondered. “That’s strange. If they had such a method, why not control a few more Emperor-level demonic beasts? They could have used these beasts during the attack on the academy. If they had brought them along, we wouldn’t have been able to beat them.”

Long Chen sank into thought and rubbed the Black Scale Fiend Drake’s blood. After studying the remnants of medicinal pills in its body, he suddenly sneered, “The Brahma Pill Valley doesn’t know how to refine true Human Emperor Pills, so they’re relying on Saint pills, which have a reduced effect on Emperors and act slowly. They must have been working on this for a long time, but the results were too slow. As they can’t fully control these beasts yet, it means they’re still in the testing phase. I suspect they don’t intend to use these beasts against the academy but rather the Dragon Domain.”

“The Dragon Domain?” Bai Shishi exclaimed. “That makes sense! This place is closest to the Dragon Domain. They could have driven these demonic beasts into a frenzy with medicinal pills, and their closest target would be the Dragon Domain.”

Hearing that, the Dragon Domain’s experts turned pale. If that had happened, they wouldn’t have been able to withstand the assault of so many powerful demonic beasts.

After handing over these corpses, the Dragonblood Legion set out again. This time, Long Chen instructed Guo Ran and the others to let the dragon race disciples handle the fights. The Dragonblood warriors had gotten enough training for now, and it was time for the dragon race to gain real battle experience.

Turning them into experts overnight wasn’t possible, but the Dragonblood warriors could at least teach them the basics of warfare. They were family after all, with dragon blood running in their veins. Guo Ran immediately understood and told Long Chen to leave it to him.

As the others left, Long Chen got to work himself. He began consuming Nirvanic Charge Pills.

“While they’re busy hunting, I’ll get closer to the Saint realm. No matter what, I’m going to get there first!”
