Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5150 Crazy Idea

“Will this work?!” wondered the Earth Cauldron, completely stunned by Long Chen’s idea.

The Earth Cauldron understood the complexity of the nine star line’s inheritance and the unique aspects of its cultivation technique. Hence, it thought Long Chen’s idea was nothing short of fantasy. Although Long Chen had diverged from the traditional Nine Star Hegemon Body Art, to use lightning and flame energy to condense the eighth star was pure madness.

Buzz.

When Long Chen consumed the first Nirvanic Charge Pill, a tiny whirlpool appeared on the left side of his Dantian. His body quivered, and the Earth Cauldron replica trapping him shook intensely in response.

“Eight Star Battle Armor!” shouted Long Chen. As he formed a series of hand seals, seven stars appeared, but the eighth star was nowhere to be seen. After that, the seven-star loop started to quiver.

In an instant, the distance between the first star—the FengFu Star—and the seventh star—the Violet Tower Star—began to grow. A tiny whirlpool appeared between those two stars, and soon, the distances became equal, forming a new star loop.

However, the eighth star was not yet fully formed; it was still just a whirlpool. When the Earth Cauldron saw this, it was stunned.

The whirlpool suddenly inhaled like a whale, drawing in the energy within the cauldron. Inside Long Chen’s Dantian, the spot where the Nirvanic Charge Pill had dissolved quivered, and a tiny little dot appeared in the whirlpool.

“I-i-it really condensed?!” exclaimed the Earth Cauldron in shock. It had not expected Long Chen’s crazy idea to actually work, but this tiny little star proved it wrong.

“I have to thank you. You’ve taught me many things and enlightened me. From now on, I will use the Nirvanic Charge Pills as the foundation and utilize the Heavenly Dao energy, Heavenly Flame energy, and heavenly lightning energy to multiply the effect of the pills. With their aid, I can make the medicinal pills’ energy erupt and release millions of times their original effect,” said Long Chen.

After saying this, Long Chen directly swallowed another Nirvanic Charge Pill, and its medicinal energy charged into the Nirvanic Charge Star. It glimmered, and then a torrent of Heavenly Dao energy, Heavenly Flame energy, and heavenly lightning energy followed, causing it to visibly bulge.

It was now the size of a sesame seed. Observing this, Long Chen sighed in relief. Somehow, his crazy idea was correct.

Long Chen began shoveling the Nirvanic Charge Pills into his mouth. In truth, he didn’t know why, but before this tribulation, he already had a premonition that the Earth Cauldron would manifest in his heavenly tribulation.

One reason was because the Earth Cauldron had recognized Long Chen as master, and another reason was that among all the karmic ties he had, the Earth Cauldron had the highest chance of killing him. Thus, he had started thinking about how to deal with it for a while. One day, a wild idea struck him: using the heavenly tribulation’s energy to multiply the power of the Nirvanic Charge Pill.

The Nirvanic Charge Pill was designed to be explosive, but it didn’t have any flame or lightning attributes in its composition. Long Chen then wondered if the power of the heavenly tribulation could be used to detonate the pill’s medicinal energy, thereby amplifying its effects.

However, when he tried this theory with Huo Linger and Lei Linger, nothing happened. Despite this, Long Chen felt inexplicable confidence that it could definitely work. In the end, he chose to believe in his intuition, and reality had proved him right.

Lei Linger and Huo Linger lacked the destructive laws necessary to trigger the Nirvanic Charge Pill’s explosive potential. However, once subjected to the heavenly tribulation’s destructive laws and will, the pill’s energy multiplied, merging perfectly with the tribulation’s lightning and flame energy.

The Nirvanic Charge Pill’s nature was extinguished, but just as it was destroyed, a trace remained. From this trace, it underwent nirvanic rebirth, and its original power multiplied, resulting in the shocking multiplicative effect.

“Through nirvanic rebirth, charge into the heavens. So that is the origin of the Nirvanic Charge Pill,” muttered Long Chen as he realized the true essence behind its name.

As Long Chen devoured the Nirvanic Charge Pills, their power was detonated by the lightning flame energy, causing the Nirvanic Charge Star to blaze with an intense light. It was growing faster than any other star Long Chen had ever condensed. In just a few breaths, it had become the size of a fist. It was a shocking growth rate.

The lightning formation inside the cauldron rumbled, and the flames roared as they poured toward Long Chen. Within the star loop behind him, the whirlpool belonging to the Nirvanic Charge Star grew larger, and its suction force increased, drawing in more energy and accelerating the star’s formation.

Long Chen was shoveling handfuls of pills into his mouth, relying on the Earth Cauldron’s altered divine ability—Swallow the Heavens, Refine the Earth—to ingest the pills quickly. The recent enlightenment allowed him to devour the pills with reckless abandon, causing the whirlpool to grow rapidly.

As Long Che continued, he quickly discovered the trick to maintaining a perfect balance between his devouring speed and the energy torrent of the tribulation. With this newfound balance, he no longer needed Bai Yingxue and the others’ help.

In truth, Bai Yingxue and the others had long since reached their limits; if they absorbed any more energy, they would really explode. Thankfully, once Long Chen began using the power of the tribulation to nourish the Nirvanic Charge Pill, the energy was locked inside the Earth Cauldron replica, which prevented it from pouring down on them. Bai Yingxue and the others almost instantly collapsed from exhaustion, but they had to quickly digest the overwhelming energy within their bodies.

Just as they started digesting it, the tribulation clouds showed signs of complete collapse.

The fragmented clouds now fell like meteorites. Although they continued to descend, the number of pieces was dwindling, and they were losing their power. After all, most of the tribulation’s energy had been consumed by the giant Earth Cauldron replica, and aside from Long Chen, everyone else’s tribulations were nearing their conclusion.

Half an incense stick of time later, the remaining tribulation clouds in the sky exploded and scattered, signaling the end of the ordeal. Everyone’s aura instantly erupted, and Eternal qi unfurled as their Eternal runes fully activated. They had become true Eternal experts.

With the end of the tribulation, Feng You, Bai Yingxue, and the others’ auras suddenly surged. They broke through four limits in a row. After reaching the Eternal realm, the amount of energy stored in their bodies was so immense that they directly broke through to the fourth Heavenstage, making them mid-stage Eternal experts.

As Feng You and the others marveled at the immense power within them, a group of people with murderous gazes approached them.
