Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 4979: A Cheating Method of Advancement

unbeknownst to long chen, as he walked into the jiuli tower, the long clan commenced a large-scale construction project, creating one giant formation after another. throughout the heavenly desolation domain, over ten thousand large formations were built, all centered around the long clan’s territory, forming a massive network of interconnected formations.

in a secret hall, the three heavenly saints and the clan leader had a hand pressed on the earth cauldron. two heaven veins swirled around them, channeling their energy into the earth cauldron.

at the same time, a giant whirlpool formed on the roof, through which milky white energy slowly poured into the earth cauldron. this energy was the extracted and condensed essence of the entire heavenly desolation domain.

“that idiot long zaiye. he also had a complete heaven vein. even if his arm was cut off and his heaven vein’s energy was broken, if he hadn’t been so rash as to forcibly increase long qingyun’s realm, he would have at least been able to help a bit now,” complained long yaoting.

“that’s enough. he’s already half-crippled, and his mental state is in ruins. we cannot count on him. we can only grit our teeth and keep going. let’s combine our energy with the formation to awaken the earth cauldron as soon as possible,” said the clan leader.

complaining now was useless. other than the patriarch, only the four of them had heaven vein energy. fortunately, the heaven overseer could be trusted to take charge of the long clan during this time, allowing them to carry out their work in peace. as the four of them continued to focus, streams of energy continuously poured into the earth cauldron.

...

when long chen walked into the jiuli tower, his vision turned dark as he was transported into a long and narrow corridor. once he was inside, the dark corridor slowly lit up, revealing countless sculptures lining the walls.

unfortunately, many of those sculptures had fallen apart, so long chen couldn’t tell what they depicted. this damage was likely the result of the failed repair attempts the heaven overseer had mentioned. every attempt to fix this place had only caused more damage until it collapsed.

long chen continued onward, drawn by a light up ahead. as he approached, he saw a sea of flames. instantly, he felt a turbulent energy crash over him.

“what terrifying energy fluctuations.”

long chen’s heart shook. these fluctuations were somewhat similar to those of a medicinal pill, making it feel like devouring them could rapidly advance his realm.

as he continued down the path, he saw that it led straight into the heart of the sea of flames. when he stepped into the flames, he grew even more shocked. this energy was entering his body without his permission, like millions of resentful spirits invading him.

long chen walked to the end of the pathway and saw a circular stone staircase here. however, the steps were cracked, likely beyond repair.

looking down, long chen saw a space below the sea of flames. jumping down would lead him into it, just as the heaven overseer had instructed. but long chen remembered the earth cauldron’s instructions. without hesitation, he released the rune that the earth cauldron had left in his spiritual space.

as this energy exploded within him, his aura rapidly climbed. he was shocked to find that he was about to advance.

“wait a second!” exclaimed long chen.

in the past, he had to struggle to break through his shackles, but this time, he had to hold himself back as much as possible. the more he could hold back, the better. this would keep his foundation super solid.

“earth energy—seal!”

long chen formed hand seals to suppress the power erupting within him, holding back his realm from breaking through.

“again!”

he took a deep breath and formed another seal, allowing countless streams of energy to pour into him.

just like this, long chen managed to suppress it nine times before he could no longer contain the immense power erupting within him.

boom!

long chen’s aura exploded, blasting the flames around him away.

“first heavenstage!”

he cried out in delight, realizing that after igniting his realm and falling, his new first heavenstage was stronger than his former one.

“come at me!”

long chen raised his head and shouted, as countless flames surrounded him again.
