Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

t take in someone who would never advance again.

Suddenly, cracking sounds came from Long Chen’s furnace.
Those sounds were very light, but in the silent arena, everyone heard it clearly.

“What?! He destroyed the pills that had just been about to form?”

Everyone was shocked.
What was Long San doing? Had he completely given up and no longer even wanted second place?”

The tower administrator’s pupils shrunk.
“Is he actually…?”

The Tower Ancestor nodded in praise.
“It really is nice to be young.
You dare to do anything you want, without being so overcautious about the consequences.”

BOOM!

Space trembled intensely and the ground also shivered.
A huge whirlpool dozens of miles wide formed in the sky, completely covering the arena.

“How… how… how is this possible?!” Looking at that huge whirlpool, everyone’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

“How could someone possess such terrifying soul energy here?” Even the always calm Tower Ancestor was finally moved.

That huge whirlpool was something condensed from Long Chen’s soul energy.
Its scope was truly too shocking.

An ordinary Pill Emperor would at most be able to condense some fluctuations that stretched out a few meters.

Even Huo Wufang—once he had used the Nine Revolution Blood Soul Upgrade Art—had only had fluctuations that had spread three hundred meters.
But Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength was covering a range of dozens of miles.

BOOM!

Suddenly, a huge pillar of flames soared out from Long Chen.
The flame pillar was thirty meters thick and soared straight into the clouds.

A terrifying pressure spread.
The competitors around him were unable to bear the heat and had to retreat.

It was fortunate that they had sent their completed pills up to the judges already.
This was to prevent cheating.
Otherwise, it really would be easy to cheat in this chaotic scene.

“Heavens, is he really human?!” People’s jaws could not drop any lower.
This scene was too shocking.

Only the Tower Ancestor didn’t reveal any expression at the immense flame pillar.
Instead, his originally turbid eyes began to glow, looking as if they could see through space.

“As expected.” He smiled, and then his eyes returned to their normal state.

Long Chen had summoned this flame pillar only to mask his true actions.
Because Huo Wufang had sacrificed a soul in order to use the Nine Revolution Blood Soul Upgrade Art, his calculations had gone astray.

Now, if he wanted to defeat Huo Wufang, he had to rely on the Earth Flame.
But he couldn’t expose the Earth Flame, so he had to hide it within this pillar of flames.

Long Chen had crushed the pills that had just been about to form, turning them to powder.
Then he began a crazy refinement with the Earth Flame.

“Time’s almost up!”

BOOM!

Heaven and earth trembled.
The flame pillar scattered, revealing Long Chen.
At this moment, he was clearly a bit exhausted.
One hand was pressed tightly onto his pill furnace.

“Was it a failure?” Everyone saw that Long Chen’s furnace was covered in spiderweb cracks.
It was clear that his furnace had been just a bit away from exploding.

During the final moments of refinement, the furnace had to be tightly sealed.
Otherwise, if the energy inside leaked, the pills inside would essentially become trash.

“Time is up!” When the final grain of sand fell, the person in charge of the time shouted.

“Hahaha, Long San, you made such a ruckus, but in the end, wasn’t it just a monkey show?” laughed Huo Wufang.

Crack.

Long Chen’s furnace suddenly began to fall apart.
Piece by piece, it fell to the ground.

“Hahaha, Long San, first place is… what?!”

Huo Wufang’s smile suddenly stopped as if his throat was being clutched.
He was filled with shock.

Long Chen’s shattering pill furnace revealed a certain thing.
That was a pill with no rings, only a faint halo.
According to pill grades, it could only count as a regular high grade pill.

However, this pill caused everyone but the Tower Ancestor to be shocked.
Fang Chang and Chai Liehuo were filled with crazy delight.

“Giant… giant pill?!”

The pill halo was very simple, but the pill itself was the size of a baby’s fist.
This was an extremely rare giant pill.

Giant pills were something alchemists might never refine even in their entire lives.
Refining a giant pill was dozens of times more exhausting on the soul than ordinary pills, and the chances of failure were over a hundred times greater.

That was why giant pills were things many people had heard of, but most people had never seen.

Giant pills had condensed all the essence of nine pills into one.
But the giant pills’ energy would be over ten times greater than the original nine pills combined.

As for the giant pill in Long Chen’s hand, it had even reached the high grade.
Its medicinal effect would be equivalent to at least two nine-ring pills.

“Bastard, this is impossible! Long San, you definitely cheated!” roared Huo Wufang.
His expression was twisted with fury as he charged straight at Long Chen.
