Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 6157 Nether Blood Heaven Exploding Pill

“Alright, I’ve taught you everything you need to know. I’m going into seclusion now—my body is about to awaken new powers. I need to grow stronger too, or one day, if you die, I’ll die with you,” said Evilmoon casually.

Long Chen was moved. While this fellow was prideful and sharp-tongued, its words often meant the opposite of what they sounded like.

What Evilmoon really meant was that it wanted to become stronger so that, when the time came, it could protect Long Chen. In the past, Evilmoon had died in front of Long Chen, and Long Chen had been powerless to stop it. But now, it couldn’t allow that to happen again.

“Alright, then go in peace!” Long Chen nodded.

“Bastard, I’m just going into seclusion, not dying!” Evilmoon cursed.

Long Chen simply smiled and didn’t say anything. Then, Evilmoon transformed into those blood moon runes and slowly sank into his mind-sea.

With a single thought, Long Chen summoned billions of petals. Each of those petals contained his Spiritual Strength.

Thankfully, his Spiritual Strength was vast. Otherwise, there was no way he could control so many petals.

Each petal was as sharp and durable as a Sovereign weapon. Evilmoon had said the dragon scale petals were nearly indestructible, and even if they were damaged, it didn’t matter. As long as Evilmoon’s true body remained, the petals could regenerate endlessly.

As the petals shimmered, they shifted from red to white and eventually became transparent. Long Chen sighed in awe. Evilmoon’s second form would truly become a powerful trump card.

Still, refining the blood moon runes had taxed him mentally. It would take some time for him to return to his peak condition.

Fortunately, his new spiritual domain gave him enough power to fend off even a divine sprout like Fan Ji. Not to mention, he had the terrifying Earth Vein Bull Python puppet. Unless surrounded by a group of late-stage Sovereign Lords, he no longer had anything to fear.

So many days had passed, and the Bewildering Mist Heavenly Moat remained silent. Long Chen trusted Yue Xiaoqian and the others had made it safely into the devil sealing land. Finally, he could feel at ease leaving this place.

When he spread his divine sense earlier, he hadn’t detected anyone from Pill Valley. It seemed they had already given up. However, thinking about it, that was only natural. Sovereign Fall Land was filled with terrifying beings. They had likely retreated.

The original devil race’s experts were lucky to have Long Chen.

Without Long Chen’s sharp senses and instincts, the original devil race’s experts would’ve likely died trying to cross through the territories of demonic beasts.

Suddenly, the primal chaos space quivered. Long Chen’s expression changed, and he quickly checked within—only to find the Demon Moon Cauldron refining pills.

Suddenly, Yao Ling-er ran over excitedly with a fist-sized medicinal pill.

“Big Brother Long Chen, look!”

Long Chen took it and his hair stood on end. It was a demonic pill filled with a sinister aura—it practically screamed danger.

“Hehe, this is the Nether Blood Heaven Exploding Pill I refined! I used the Nether Blood Evil Orchid as the main ingredient. With master’s guidance—and after a few failures—I finally managed to refine a top-grade golden Nether Blood Heaven Exploding Pill!” Yao Ling-er exclaimed, extremely excited.

Her face was covered in ash. Clearly, refining this pill hadn’t been easy. The backlash from a failed attempt was no joke.

“Ling-er, you’re amazing!” Long Chen praised her.

Yao Ling-er had been working hard. Flushed with pride from his praise, Yao Ling-er promised to refine a peerless-grade version next.

Long Chen quickly urged her not to be too hasty. Refining giant pills was dangerous, and a single mistake could damage her core.

But Yao Ling-er was too excited to listen. She happily tossed all her slightly lower-grade Nether Blood Heaven Exploding Pills to Long Chen and ran off to play.

She naturally enjoyed refining demonic pills. These pills belonged to an unorthodox branch of the Pill Dao, which used extreme methods to draw out their maximum medicinal effect. Many of them weren’t even meant to be consumed.

The Nether Blood Heaven Exploding Pill in Long Chen’s hand was a perfect example. It was an offensive demonic pill, designed to be thrown like a bomb. Its explosive power was deadly.

Because of this aspect, true demonic pill alchemists were rare. After all, most of them died to their own creations.

Such pills were too volatile—especially explosive types like this. They developed a kind of spirituality, and if not properly controlled, they could turn on their master.

Only a monster like Long Chen would dare to handle and even consume Yao Ling-er’s pills. Only his monstrous body could withstand their backlash.

After pondering, Long Chen decided to scout the area for a bit.

Even with all his trump cards, Long Chen didn’t dare act recklessly here. This place was still teeming with dangerous existences, and it wasn’t even the deepest part of Sovereign Fall Land yet.

From what he’d seen on the way, the deeper one went, the stronger the demonic beasts. There could even be eighth or ninth Heavenstage Sovereign Lords lurking inside.

After exploring for a bit, Long Chen decided to go out of this place. He still had many things to do.

He started to carefully fly outward, extending his divine sense as he moved.

He found that late-stage Sovereign Lord demonic beasts would instinctively react to his divine sense, but mid-stage ones couldn’t notice it.

As a result, he only had to avoid the late-stage Sovereign Lord demonic beasts. Other than that, he could fly without misgivings.

When Long Chen arrived at the Earth Vein Bull Python’s cave, he found that Green Old Sixth had left. Several demonic beasts that had been there earlier were also gone—likely driven off by Green Old Sixth.

As Long Chen drew closer to the exit, the number of late-stage Sovereign Lords dropped. Long Chen pulled back his divine sense and shot straight forward.

BOOM!

A ferocious bird suddenly swooped down, opening its mouth to unleash a devouring vortex.

“Why bother?” Long Chen shook his head and flicked a finger.

A giant pill flew out, landing directly in the bird’s mouth.

“Explode.”

The pill detonated inside its beak, causing the bird to shriek as its blood sprayed everywhere.

Most terrifying of all, black qi oozed from its mouth. It was poisoned and its flesh was rotting.

“A middle-grade golden Nether Blood Heaven Exploding Pill can heavily injure a third Heavenstage Sovereign Lord demonic beast. That’s incredible!” Long Chen exclaimed, surprised by how effective it was.

From this experiment, it seemed that a top-grade golden Nether Blood Heaven Exploding Pill could kill even a mid-stage Sovereign Lord.

The wounded bird tried to flee, but just as it turned, the void trembled and it froze midair.

Its head was suddenly pierced through. After a few spasms, it fell dead.

“This domain is even more incredible!” Long Chen shouted excitedly.

The domain power he once cursed and envied was now his.

“Ah, so I wasn’t jealous of other people having domains... I was just jealous that the one who had it... wasn’t me!”

Laughing, Long Chen waved his hand. The bird’s corpse vanished into the primal chaos space. In the next instant, he turned into a streak of light and vanished.
