Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

A Dragonblood warrior walked over to a giant Blood Crystal Demon Lizard and slashed its skin. Sparks flew.

“Boss, can this thing really be eaten?” Long Chen had them gather them as Wilde’s food. But their appearance made them somewhat hesitant.

“Big brother Long!”

At this time, Wilde’s voice rang out. He walked out of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.

Wilde woke up from hunger. Seeing the piles of Blood Crystal Demon Lizard corpses, his eyes sparkled.

An odd leather bag appeared in his hand. He pointed it at the corpses, and its runes activated. Those corpses were instantly sucked inside.

Wilde reached into his bag and pulled out a Blood Crystal Demon Lizard. Its enormous body had shrunk until it was one foot long. Wilde opened his mouth and threw it in.

Crunching sounds rang out as he chewed. The Dragonblood warriors shivered. The Blood Crystal Demon Lizard’s terrifying defenses were crushed in front of Wilde’s mouth. His teeth were truly frightening.

“It’s delicious!”

It was unknown if it was actually tasty or if he was simply starving. Or perhaps it was simply that the immense amount of energy within the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard corpse was just a delicacy to Wilde. In any case, Wilde began to pop them into his mouth one by one. He consumed over ten of them in a short moment, happily chewing away.

“Wilde, eat a bit slower. We’ve prepared a lot of food for you. The food will only get better later.”

Seeing Wilde eating like he was starving, Long Chen started to worry if he could even digest all that. After all, those were Blood Crystal Demon Lizards. They were once an Emperor race. Even with his special constitution, could he really eat that many that fast?

Wilde assented verbally, but his hand continued to continuously reach into the bag and pick out more.

Now that Wilde was awake, Long Chen had everyone gather the corpses and hand them to Wilde. Even though his bag contained a huge space inside, hundreds of thousands of corpses entered it now. It was almost full.

Wilde was overjoyed by this. This would be enough for him to eat for a month. After all, the ones that the Dragonblood Legion had slain were all powerful experts.

The stronger the demonic beast, the greater the energy contained in their body. That was the best food for Wilde.

With these rations, Wilde wouldn’t need to keep sleeping. Long Chen was now fully confident. 

They returned to the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest and continued onwards. Long Chen once more summoned the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree, summoning the three thousand original Jiuli runes as well for the Dragonblood warriors.

Although the Dragonblood warriors were a bit late when it came to comprehending them, their comprehension ability was shockingly high. This wasn’t a problem.

Furthermore, they had the support of their dragon souls. They would instinctively come to comprehend these original Jiuli runes. Just a few days should be enough.

During these days, they could comprehend as much as they could. But what they still didn’t comprehend by this time would probably be impossible for them to gain insight into no matter how much time they spent.

The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest advanced slowly. Long Chen didn’t rush it. Countless factions went around them when they saw the mighty Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.

“Long Chen, shouldn’t you take this time to comprehend the divine runes of the Jiuli Divine Stele, as well as the runes that I taught you?”

Seeing Long Chen peacefully staring outside as the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest advanced, casually sipping a cup of tea, the primal chaos Dragon Sovereign couldn’t help speaking up.

Ever since Long Chen condensed nine dragon veins and merged with the dragon blood runes, he acted like there was nothing for him to do, baffling the primal chaos Dragon Sovereign.

It had to be known that whether it was the dragon blood runes or the Jiuli runes, although they were in Long Chen’s hands, he didn’t have insight into them, and thus they couldn’t really count as his. He was still unable to draw out their power.

In theory, at this critical juncture, Long Chen shouldn’t be wasting any time.

“I’ve already comprehended it,” said Long Chen.

“Ah? What does that mean?” This time, even the primal chaos Dragon Sovereign didn’t understand what he was saying.

What did he mean he had comprehended them? The original Jiuli divine runes and the dragon blood runes were all incredibly profound. How could comprehending them be this easy?

Failure was normal. Only by failing could you narrow down the possibilities to the right answer. How could he give up just because he didn’t immediately comprehend them?

“Whether it is the Jiuli divine runes or the dragon blood runes, the moment they entered my body, I gained a partial comprehension of them. They’ve already merged with my soul and bloodline. Although it’s less than a tenth of their totality, I feel like it’s enough,” said Long Chen.

“Really?”

Even the primal chaos Dragon Sovereign found this hard to believe. If that was true, it was completely inconceivable.

“The Jiuli divine runes that entered my starry sea seem to feel like they have returned home. They feel close to me. They are willing to share their power with me. However, their power is too strong. Even though they are willing to be controlled by me, I can’t control them. As for the dragon blood runes, when they entered my body, my Spirit Bone heated up and drew those runes over. Those runes ended up branded on it. I don’t know what exactly happened, but once those runes were branded on my Spirit Bone, it's like they all fell under my control,” said Long Chen.

The primal chaos Dragon Sovereign fell silent.

Long Chen was also silent. This kind of phenomena was outside the realm of common sense. Furthermore, Long Chen seemed to once more feel the Pill Sovereign’s will.

When the Jiuli runes entered his body, the Pill Sovereign’s will seemed sorrowful. It was a sorrow that made Long Chen feel extremely uncomfortable.

There were several times that Long Chen wanted to ask the primal chaos Dragon Sovereign about it, but he held himself back. He knew that the primal chaos Dragon Sovereign wouldn’t tell him the answer.

The primal chaos Dragon Sovereign’s current silence corroborated what he was thinking. This feeling of familiarity and sorrow was one of Long Chen’s clues.

However, Long Chen didn’t bother asking about it. He just drank his tea, staring at the outside world. He was keeping his inner heart calm.

That was because during this time, his state wasn’t very good. It wasn’t suitable for further comprehension or cultivation. It just so happened that he also had to stand guard so that everyone else could peacefully cultivate.

“Big brother Long, you should eat some too! They’re really delicious.”

Seeing Long Chen staring blankly outside, Wilde couldn’t help walking over and offering his bag to Long Chen.

Long Chen eyed the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard corpses inside of it. The stench of blood washed over him. Long Chen shivered and hastily said, “Thank you, but I’m not hungry. You should eat it yourself!”

“Oh.”

Wilde obediently sat down beside him and continued munching away.

“That’s right, Wilde, you said that the experts of your race would find you. But there’s been no sign of them coming after so many days. Why is that?” asked Long Chen.

Wilde had followed his people into the Heaven Vein Mystic Realm. But he had gotten lost. They had to be panicking over this. But for them to not appear after so many days, Long Chen couldn’t help getting worried. Could it be that they were in danger?

“I don’t know either? I feel like they always manage to find me when I got lost before,” said Wilde.

Long Chen was speechless. The past was the past. The present was now. This place was the Heaven Vein Mystic Realm. There were countless dangers. The Heavenly Daos were also different. There were many secret arts that were ineffective here.

However, since this was the case, Long Chen couldn’t possibly bring Wilde looking for his people. He would have to first obtain the Emperor reverse scale before doing anything about that.

The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest was continuing onwards when there was a rumbling sound to their left. A group of experts appeared and actually flew towards the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. They were clearly provoking them.

When Long Chen saw who it was, he couldn’t help frowning. It was another group of familiar people.
