Nine Star Hegemon Body Art - Chapter 1106
Chapter 1106: 1106
Boundless mountains stretched far into the horizon and high into the sky . Rivers cut through them, winding through the land . The occasional roar of a Magical Beast sent birds flying in flocks .
A man and a woman were standing at the peak of a tall mountain . They were Long Chen and Meng Qi .
Long Chen looked at the map in his hands in accordance with the terrain below . “Once we’re past the river ahead of us, there should be many Magical Beasts around . The Elder Hall Master said that there was some special ore underground that creates a magnetic field here, and it is very helpful to a Magical Beast’s cultivation . This place is like a natural Spirit Gathering Formation for Magical Beasts . So despite there being countless battles between them, they still stay here . And more surrounding Magical Beasts are constantly drawn over, wanting to occupy some territory here . ”
“That’s similar to us . Didn’t we also charge our way into the Central Plains in hopes of establishing a foothold?” laughed Meng Qi .
“Your comparison really is accurate . In truth, when it comes to the weak being prey to the strong, the human cultivator world is much crueler than the Magical Beast world . Although the battles between Magical Beasts are bloody and berserk, the danger can be seen on the surface, and there’s still a chance to hide . But human cultivators scheme, killing people silently . Many people don’t even realize how they died even as it happens . So the struggle of Magical Beasts is always open, and Magical Beasts that form packs never betray each other . As for humans? Hehe, betrayal is a common occurrence . ” Long Chen couldn’t help but sigh emotionally . “Come on, let’s go . ”
Long Chen pulled Meng Qi’s hand as they slowly flew ahead . As they crossed over the wide river, Meng Qi couldn’t help but reminisce . “Last time in the Spirit World, you led me into the stomach of a fish to escape a calamity . I wonder if this time we’ll be even more miserable . ”
Thinking of their time in the Spirit World, both of their hearts warmed . Sometimes, memories were the most precious wealth .
“Last time was just an accident . It definitely won’t happen again . ” Long Chen patted his chest confidently .
BOOM!
Just as he had spoken, waves exploded out of the river below . A large mouth shot toward the two of them .
It was a three-thousand-meter fish . It had a thin body like a ribbonfish, and its mouth was filled with sharp teeth . From its aura, it should be a mid eighth rank Magical Beast .
Long Chen pointed a finger and a lightning arrow pierced its head . It instantly died .
“How about I treat you to some roast fish?” Long Chen smiled .
Meng Qi hastily shook her head . “No, this Ghost Toothed Eel eats rotting Magical Beasts . It only eats rotten flesh, so its own flesh is disgusting too . ”
“Ah, is that so? Gross . ” Long Chen directly tossed it into the primal chaos space, allowing the black soil to devour it .
The primal chaos space had expanded after he had advanced to Foundation Forging . He had filled it with the seeds of Iron Spruce Oaks, but right now, they had only grown to around thirty meters .
The old Iron Spruce Oaks hadn’t even reached their peak yet, but he had planted so many more . Their growth was exceedingly slow now, but he was helpless to do anything about it .
To make them grow faster would require mountains of Magical Beast corpses, and high ranking ones at that . Magical Beast corpses below the seventh rank were essentially ineffective .
“How curious . Why would this idiot fish want to eat us? To its huge body, we aren’t even two sesame seeds,” wondered Long Chen .
“That’s not it . Magical Beasts are all territorial . As long as they feel like they are threatened, they will think that the invaders came to take their territory, so they’ll naturally attack . It wasn’t because of hunger,” explained Meng Qi .
A loud roar echoed as Long Chen and Meng Qi reached the other side of the river . From the darkness of the forest, a huge flaming wolf pounced on them .
“Scram!”
Long Chen kicked the eighth rank wolf away . Its huge body tumbled through the forest . Terrified of Long Chen, it knelt in the distance, baring its teeth toward Long Chen, warning him .
“Is it because of Little Snow?” asked Meng Qi quietly .
“Yes . I just can’t be emotionless toward wolf-type Magical Beasts,” sighed Long Chen .
Meng Qi held his hand . She worriedly asked, “Can Little Snow really be revived?”
Both Meng Qi and Long Chen had deep feelings toward Little Snow . To them, Little Snow was no different than family .
Meng Qi had personally witnessed Little Snow being struck by the Yama King Blood Curse . That Yama King Blood Curse was an extremely vile art . Anyone struck would definitely die .
“Don’t worry, Little Snow will definitely be revived . The soul will be the same, but the body will be different,” said Long Chen .
“Then why don’t we find a ninth rank wolf Magical Beast? We can erase its soul and allow Little Snow to revive,” said Meng Qi .
Long Chen shook his head . “No, ninth rank would be too low . Even tenth rank is too low . Little Snow only has one chance to be reborn . If it was just a ninth rank Magical Beast, the same old play would repeat again . If he can’t keep up with me, he still wouldn’t be happy after being revived . He has his own pride and would rather die alongside me . So the body I find for Little snow must be powerful, and it must be able to grow to the peak of the martial path with me . ”
Suffering that pain once was enough . So Long Chen couldn’t revive Little Snow right now . He had to find a stronger body .
“Then should we subdue the flame wolf?” probed Meng Qi .
“What? To make up for the void in my heart?” laughed Long Chen . “Little Snow is always by my side, so there’s no need for that . Furthermore, this flame wolf is too weak . ”
Meng Qi smiled . The two of them continued . They found that as they went deeper, the Magical Beasts grew fiercer, and the two of them were attacked multiple times .
However, they were all eighth rank Magical Beasts . They were all killed by Long Chen and tossed into the primal chaos space as nutrients .
“They’re so packed together that there’s no buffer room between them at all . ” Long Chen found that as soon as they left one Magical Beast’s territory, they received an attack from another Magical Beast .
Each of the eighth rank Magical Beasts only had a territory of a hundred miles . That was a far cry from the hundreds or thousands of miles of territory that they normally had .
As the two of them crossed a mountain, a rumbling rang out . A huge black scorpion charged at the two of them .
“Finally, a ninth rank Magical Beast . ” Long Chen was delighted, and he was already charging out . The black scorpion slammed one of its pincers at him .
BOOM!
Long Chen received its attack with his fist . Long Chen felt his arm tremble and he shot back, while the black scorpion was smashed into the ground .
“Within the same realm, armored Magical Beasts have the greatest power . This power is enough . ” Long Chen shook his slightly numb hand and smiled .
The huge scorpion once more charged at Long Chen . This time, both its pincers were at the front, and it was like a chariot trying to smash him to death .
“Then let’s see just whose power is greater . ”
Long Chen took a deep breath, and the 108,000 original runes in his body quivered slightly . Energy surged out of them like a flood, filling Long Chen with power . He punched out with both fists .
The ground exploded, dirt flying out in every direction . In terms of power, Long Chen and the huge scorpion were equally matched .
“Damn, ninth rank Magical Beasts are far stronger than the ninth rank devil beasts from the Infernal Devil Abyss . ” Long Chen couldn’t help being stunned as he felt some faint pain in his arms .
Suddenly, an attack shot down at him from the sky . Long Chen immediately pushed away with his arms and shot back .
The scorpion’s tail pierced the ground where he had just been .
“Meng Qi, this Magical Beast is pretty strong . Do you want it?” shouted Long Chen as he flew back .
“But, it’s so dark and ugly…” Meng Qi was a bit hesitant .
Long Chen thought about it and agreed . Meng Qi was like a fairy . Riding such a black and ugly scorpion wasn’t very suitable .
“Alright then . Heaven Trapping Flame Prison!” Flame runes condensed into a prison around the black scorpion .
Now, Long Chen had new magical arts, and the cast time for them was very short, practically instantaneous . A dumb Magical Beast wouldn’t be able to dodge them .
The black scorpion struggled, but the flame prison didn’t show any signs of breaking .
Long Chen raised his right hand . His forefinger and middle finger pointed toward the huge scorpion, aiming at its head .
Flames condensed between his two fingers, and then a blinding light erupted .
“Blazing Death Spear . ”
A ray of light pierced through the huge scorpion’s head . It reached its head practically the instant it left his fingers .
The light directly went through its armor and out the other side of it . A three-meter hole appeared in its head .
Despite that, it continued to struggle for a few minutes before completely dying . That was one of the terrifying aspects of armored Magical Beasts .
“The fish wasn’t edible, but this scorpion is a delicacy . Hehe, I’ll cook you some roast scorpion,” laughed Long Chen .
