Nine Star Hegemon Body Art

A Dragonblood warrior walked over to a giant Blood Crystal Demon Lizard and slashed its skin. Sparks flew from the point of impact.

“Boss, can this thing really be eaten?” the warrior asked, hesitating as he eyed the grotesque corpses that Long Chen had gathered for Wilde's food.

At this time, Wilde’s voice rang out. “Big brother Long!”

After waking up, he walked out of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest. And the moment he saw the piles of Blood Crystal Demon Lizard corpses, his eyes sparkled.

An odd leather bag appeared in his hand. As its runes activated, the 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 then opened his mouth and threw it in.

Crunching sounds rang out as he chewed, sending shivers through the Dragonblood warriors. The Blood Crystal Demon Lizard’s terrifying defenses crumbled before Wilde’s monstrous teeth.

“It’s delicious!” exclaimed Wilde.

No one here could be sure whether it was actually tasty or Wilde was simply starving. Perhaps the immense energy within the corpses made them a delicacy to him. In any case, Wilde popped them into his mouth one by one. In a matter of moments, he had devoured over ten, happily chewing away.

“Wilde, eat a bit slower. We’ve prepared plenty for you. The food will only get better later,” Long Chen cautioned.

Seeing Wilde eating as if he were a starving ghost, Long Chen wondered if he could even digest all that. After all, those were Blood Crystal Demon Lizards, a race with Emperor bloodline. Even with Wilde’s special constitution, could he really eat this many this fast?

Wilde mumbled an acknowledgment but continued pulling more snacks from the bag. Now that Wilde was awake, Long Chen had the others gather the remaining corpses and hand them over to Wilde. The sheer number nearly filled Wilde’s bag.

Wilde was overjoyed by this. This would last him a month. With such powerful beasts as sustenance, he wouldn’t need to keep sleeping.

After that, they returned to the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest and continued onward. Long Chen summoned the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree, along with the three thousand original Jiuli runes, allowing the Dragonblood warriors to study them. Although they had started later than others, their comprehension ability was astonishing.

Furthermore, they had the support of their dragon souls, so they would instinctively come to comprehend these original Jiuli runes in a few days.

The Ten Thousand Dragon Nest advanced slowly as Long Chen was in no rush. Countless factions went around them when they saw the mighty Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.

“Long Chen, shouldn’t you be focusing on comprehending the divine runes of the Jiuli Divine Stele and the runes I taught you?” The Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign’s voice rang out, filled with confusion.

Long Chen was calmly sipping tea while watching the world pass by. Ever since Long Chen had condensed nine dragon veins and merged with the dragon blood runes, he had been acting like there was nothing for him to do, baffling the Dragon Sovereign.

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

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

The Dragon Sovereign was stunned. “What do you mean?”

The Jiuli divine runes and the dragon blood runes were incredibly profound. Comprehending them was a painstaking process. How could it be this simple?

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

Long Chen replied, “The moment they entered my body, I gained partial comprehension. They’ve already merged with my soul and bloodline. Though it’s less than a tenth of their full potential, I feel it’s enough.”

“Really?” The Dragon Sovereign found this difficult to believe.

Long Chen explained, “The Jiuli divine runes that entered my starry sea feel like they’ve returned home. They resonate with me and willingly share their power. However, their energy is immense. Even though they yield to me, I can’t fully control them. As for the dragon blood runes, when they entered my body, my Spirit Bone heated up and drew them in. After that, they branded themselves upon my Spirit Bone. I don’t fully understand what happened, but once imprinted, they became part of me.”

The Dragon Sovereign fell silent. Long Chen, too, lapsed into contemplation. This kind of phenomenon defied logic. Moreover, he had felt the sorrowful will of the Pill Sovereign when the Jiuli runes entered his body. The sorrow was so intense that it made Long Chen deeply uncomfortable.

Several times, Long Chen had wanted to ask the Primal Chaos Dragon Sovereign about it, but he held back. He knew he wouldn’t get a satisfying answer, and that was true. The Sovereign’s silence only confirmed his suspicions. This feeling of familiarity and sorrow was one of Long Chen’s clues.

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.

In any case, his current state wasn’t suitable for deeper comprehension or cultivation. It was better to focus on standing guard while the others trained in peace.

“Big brother Long, you should eat some too! They’re really delicious,” Wilde offered, holding up his bag.

Seeing Long Chen staring blankly outside, Wilde couldn’t help but offer his snacks to Long Chen.

Long Chen glanced at the Blood Crystal Demon Lizard corpses. The overwhelming stench of blood made him shudder.

In a haste, he declined. “Thank you, but I’m not hungry. You should eat them yourself.”

“Oh.” Wilde obediently sat beside Long Chen and continued munching away.

“That’s right, Wilde, you said the experts of your race would find you. But there’s been no sign of them 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. For them to not appear after so many days, Long Chen couldn’t help getting worried. Could they be in danger?

“I don’t know either. Hmm, but they always managed to find me whenever I got lost,” replied Wilde.

Long Chen was speechless. The past was the past, but this place was the Heaven Vein Mystic Realm. The dangers were unlike anything he had encountered before. Even secret arts might not function properly here.

In any case, searching for Wilde’s people would have to wait. The Emperor reverse scale took priority.

As the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest moved forward, a sudden rumbling echoed from their left. A group of experts appeared, flying directly toward them. Their stance was unmistakably provocative.

Long Chen’s gaze darkened as he recognized them. It was another group of familiar faces.
