Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5111 Grandmist Primal Elixir

When Long Chen landed on the altar, he felt a terrifying divine pressure crash down upon him. It was as if an ancient beast had set its sights upon him, causing his hair to stand on end.

Long Chen went completely still, like a statue, unable to move even if he wanted to. The altar seemed to come alive, scanning its surroundings with a menacing aura.

He remained in that rigid stance for what felt like an eternity. Gradually, the oppressive pressure lessened, and Long Chen felt a tremendous weight lift from him. He sighed in relief, though his forehead was drenched in sweat.

This altar was incredibly bizarre and terrifying. Long Chen didn’t dare to relax.

“Something is definitely wrong with this altar!” Long Chen muttered, continuing to crouch on the leg. He felt that the altar wasn’t controlled by a mere formation but was more like a living entity—a dormant beast. If it fully awakened, he would die miserably.

In the distance, the sound of splashing water reached him—another set of sacrifices had been brought over. However, Long Chen remained perfectly still, his posture unchanging. As the second batch of sacrifices reached the altar, the pressure on him eased slightly.

The altar continued to blast those bodies apart and absorb their energy. Long Chen felt the altar’s focus shift away from him and onto the new sacrifices.

Seizing the moment, Long Chen cautiously took out the violet crystal heavenly eye and examined the altar.

“What the fuck?!” Long Chen’s hair stood on end. Through the heavenly eye, he saw that the altar was actually part of an enormous turtle-shaped lifeform, located on its back.

The turtle had four limbs but no head and floated in the blood sea. What shocked Long Chen even more was that the four devil skulls were not merely placed on the altar—they were growing out of the turtle’s back, as if they had been grafted onto it.

Most terrifying of all, the four skulls and the black tortoise’s body were fully connected. Through the heavenly eye, Long Chen could see their arteries intertwined with countless meridians linking them together. This confirmed his suspicion: the altar was not merely a construct but a living entity—a monster that was put together here.

With the violet crystal heavenly eye, Long Chen could practically see through this monster. He could observe its meridians pulsing and its Blood Qi flowing. The energy absorbed by the four skulls was slowly directed towards the central area of the turtle’s back, where the stone fetus resided.

Long Chen’s gaze fixed on the stone fetus, but he couldn’t fully penetrate its surface. Instead, he saw root-like veins flickering over it, akin to those found on a developing egg.

“This is…”

Long Chen gulped, his earlier assumptions about the altar being a man-made construct with unfamiliar formations shattered. He now realized that the altar was not a mere construction but a living entity forged from the fusion of the four fiendish devil skulls, the turtle body, and this mysterious egg.

Yes, it was an egg. These veins were not inscribed runes but natural lines created by its life force. Even the greatest formation master couldn’t replicate these lines. Thus, Long Chen could tell it was the egg of an unknown lifeform.

All the energy gathered by the altar was being channeled to this egg. Long Chen’s violet crystal heavenly eye glowed with intensified energy as he harnessed his violet blood to enhance its power.

Finally, this mysterious egg grew translucent, and Long Chen managed to see through its shell. Inside, a swirling violet liquid was visible.

“What terrifying primal chaos qi!” Long Chen’s heart skipped a beat.

“Grandmist primal elixir!” The Earth Cauldron’s voice trembled with awe.

“What is that?” asked Long Chen hastily.

“It is the most primal energy from the birth of heaven and earth. You’ve seen primal chaos amethysts, which are precious due to the trace of Grandmist violet qi inside them. This Grandmist primal elixir is thousands of times denser! Ugh!” The Earth Cauldron’s voice was filled with reverence and regret.

“What’s wrong?” Long Chen asked.

“I don’t know if it’s because I’m too weak now, but my old eyes seem to be failing me. I couldn’t sense this treasure in front of me. If I had, I would have definitely had you come here sooner. This Grandmist primal elixir is incredibly important to me,” the Earth Cauldron lamented.

“Hehe, as I always say, fortune lies in danger. Guts equal wealth,” Long Chen chuckled. Seeing even the Earth Cauldron so shocked confirmed that the risk had indeed been worth it.

Long Chen continued observing. Through the dense Grandmist primal elixir, he saw a figure at the core.

“There’s actually a person!” Long Chen was shocked. At the center of this egg was a lifeform with two horns, covered in violet-scaled armor. It was three meters tall and extremely muscular. When Long Chen saw it, his soul shuddered and his heartbeat quickened like it was going to explode.

“It’s an Emperor fetus!” exclaimed the Earth Cauldron, his voice tinged with alarm. “This is a bad situation. This altar is used to raise an Emperor fetus, and it’s going to mature very soon. You aren’t a match for it.”

“What is an Emperor fetus?” asked Long Chen.

“It is a method of seizing the fortune of heaven and earth, a technique to defy the heavens and create a god. This technique is said to have originated not from the nine heavens and ten lands, but from the world outside. This altar extracts the essence of heaven and earth, and by sacrificing Heavenly Chosens, it nurtures a powerful devil fetus. My memories are incomplete, but based on what I’m seeing, once this devil fetus matures and breaks out of its shell, it will be on the level of a Human Emperor,” declared the Earth Cauldron gravely.

“A Human Emperor?!”

“The worst part is that its body is already fully formed and on the verge of awakening. Any disturbance might trigger its awakening. We have to leave now,” said the Earth Cauldron.

“Leave? Are you joking?” Long Chen’s eyes gleamed with determination. “All treasures I see belong to me. I have to get it.”
