Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts Chapter 1841

Chapter 1841: The Giant Egg at the Bottom of the Lake

The wolf, which had previously ignored Long Chen, bared its fangs at him now for giving it an order .

However, it had just expressed its anger when Long Chen tossed out a medicinal pill that entered its mouth .

The wolf’s anger instantly vanished . After hesitating, it decided to stand .

Once it stood, they had a higher vantage point, and Meng Qi finally saw the circular mountain in the distance .

When she saw that the mountain was surrounded by countless powerful twelfth rank Magical Beasts, she sucked in a cold gasp of air just like Long Chen had done .

“What is going on?” she asked .

“I’m not sure . But look, under the wolf is a cave . There’s a special aura coming out of it,” said Long Chen .

“This… is the aura of primordial life,” said Meng Qi with a strange expression after sensing the air coming out of the cave .

The wolf seemed to be somewhat alarmed to see Long Chen and Meng Qi eyeing the cave, so it knelt down once more, staring at them .

Meng Qi had already jumped off of it, but the wolf stubbornly blocked the cave, no longer letting the two of them look .

“What is this primordial life aura?” asked Long Chen .

Meng Qi said, “It refers to the energy of a mother’s amniotic fluid . It’s the fluid which births life . Humans, Magical Beasts, Xuan Beasts, they all rely on this primordial life fluid to grow in the womb .

“But why would such an aura be here?”

Meng Qi shook her head, indicating that she didn’t know either . However, this primordial life fluid which she had sensed was incredibly grand . She had never sensed such terrifying fluctuations .

“Come . Let’s go sneak a peek,” said Long Chen .

“Sneak… a peek?”

Meng Qi looked at the distant concentrated twelfth rank Magical Beasts .

“It’s fine, they just guard their own territory . We don’t look like threats, so they won’t bother us . Furthermore, because there are so many of them around, they won’t make any moves until they have to . Perhaps there’s a treasure in that circular mountain, so I feel like we should risk it . ” Long Chen smiled .

“Even at this time, you can still smile? No wonder others call you a monster,” sighed Meng Qi . But that smile loosened her tense nerves .

Meng Qi couldn’t help sighing . If she could advance to the Life Star realm here, she would definitely have a chance to gather a few powerful housepets with this many twelfth rank Magical Beasts obediently lying here .

However, the patriarch and Li Tianxuan had harshly warned all of them before entering the Yin Yang World that they could not make that breakthrough within this world . Otherwise, their cultivation bases would stagnate and they would never be able to advance again .

Meng Qi currently only had Cloud, and she had never had a chance to gather stronger housepets . Ordinary tenth rank Magical Beasts weren’t worth the effort for her .

Long Chen brought Meng Qi forward carefully . They didn’t intentionally suppress their auras because that would only raise the guards of the Magical Beasts .

They simply walked over, passing by the Magical Beasts . Some of them looked coldly at them . Only a few unfriendly ones stood and raised their hackles at them in warning . However, even they didn’t attack .

When they encountered those bad-tempered Magical Beasts, Long Chen would make a slight detour around them, indicating he was harmless . After doing that, those Magical Beasts didn’t bother him .

As they went further in, the Magical Beasts grew more concentrated . Some of them were extremely tense, making it so Long Chen had to carefully bypass them .

He found that the further he went, the stronger the auras of the Magical Beasts grew . However, the stronger they were, the better their temper was .

Perhaps it was because they were so strong that they viewed the two of them as ants, so they weren’t wary when they passed by .

Both of them quickly arrived at the circular mountain . There was no longer any way forward unless they crawled on top of the bodies of the Magical Beasts because they were standing side by side .

“Now what?” whispered Meng Qi .

The two of them didn’t dare to fly here . If they were in the air and those Magical Beasts attacked, they wouldn’t have a chance to dodge . But while they were on the ground, these Magical Beasts seemed to be restraining each other and wouldn’t easily attack .

“There’s a Silver Horn Bull over there . That kind of Magical Beast has a slightly better temper . Maybe we can test going over with it . ” Long Chen pulled Meng Qi past a black gorilla to the bull .

The Silver Horn Bull’s horn was gigantic and flickered with divine light . It seemed to be absorbing something through that horn .

Long Chen and Meng Qi quietly climbed up its body . The Silver Horn Bull didn’t react at all .

Standing on top of its head, they looked inside the circular mountain .

This was actually a giant volcano, and there was dense immortal mist covering it . An endless flow of life energy flowed out of it . Just taking a breath here would fully refresh someone .

These Magical Beasts were all quietly lying here in meditation, greedily absorbing the immortal mist flowing out of the volcano .

Unfortunately, the mist blocked their sight as well as their divine sense . They couldn’t see the situation within .

“Let’s go down . ”

Long Chen carefully slid down the Silver Horn Bull’s ear . Suddenly, its giant eye slowly opened, making Meng Qi jump .

However, after looking around, it lazily closed its eyes again . It had clearly noticed them yet didn’t care .

Seeing Long Chen continue sliding out as if nothing had happened, Meng Qi sighed . It took big guts to follow Long Chen in his adventuring . Anyone with a weak heart would have been frightened to death .

“Not good . ”

Long Chen and Meng Qi suddenly found that they were unable to sustain flight within this region . After sliding off the bull’s ear, they couldn’t float in the air . They began to involuntarily descend down the volcano .

Meng Qi covered her mouth so that she didn’t scream . They began to fall like two stones .

“A no-flying zone!” Long Chen was startled . It was impossible to fly within this volcano . It seemed that there was a special law prohibiting their magical arts .

Long Chen grabbed Meng Qi’s waist and held on tightly as they fell .

They quickly entered the mist and became unable to see anything . Even their divine sense was restricted . The two of them felt like they had become ordinary mortals .

Long Chen maneuvered so that Meng Qi was sitting on his arms, while he stuck a leg out . Once they landed on solid ground, he could cushion their fall so that Meng Qi wasn’t injured .

However, they continued falling for a full incense stick’s worth of time without reaching the bottom . The two of them were both astonished . Just how deep was this volcano?

Finally, Long Chen felt his foot strike something . He was about to push Meng Qi up when he found that it was actually water .

What was beneath the immortal mist was actually a pool . They immediately sank into it, unleashing a huge wave . Long Chen did his best to raise Meng Qi up and soften the impact .

In truth, after going through the blood essence stone’s upgrade, Meng Qi’s physical body could not be compared to ordinary soul cultivators . This kind of impact was unable to injure her .

The two of them swam up . They looked around and couldn’t see the end of this lake . Above them was the immortal mist that blocked their sight to the outside world .

“This water…!” Meng Qi suddenly looked at the lake in shock .

Long Chen also felt it . This water made his pores open naturally and absorb the spiritual qi in the surroundings . It made him feel relaxed, and there was also a nourishing energy within this lake that cleansed his soul .

“It’s a whole lake of primordial life fluid! How is that possible?!” exclaimed Meng Qi .

“Let’s find out . ” Long Chen swam downward . He felt like he had seen something deep within the water when they had fallen in .

The water was clear, allowing them to see up to three thousand meters away . At the bottom, he saw something white, but he didn’t know what it was .

Finally, after around another incense stick’s worth of time, Long Chen managed to see what that white object was .

It was actually a giant egg, and it was even larger than a mountain . It was covered in runes and emitted a frightening divine pressure .

“Meng Qi, take a look . Do you recognize this egg?” Long Chen sent a spiritual message .

Meng Qi slowly approached . She was about to touch it when Long Chen’s expression suddenly changed . He sensed a terrifying burst of energy, and he pulled Meng Qi behind him .

The giant egg’s runes shook ever so slightly . A wave of light struck Long Chen .

The entire lake shook, and huge waves crashed down . Long Chen coughed up a mouthful of blood . He was shocked to find that several bones in his chest had been broken .

Although he had helped Meng Qi block this attack, Meng Qi also suffered, feeling like her body was about to be crushed .

The two of them exchanged a look, seeing each other’s shock . Then they looked at the seemingly innocent egg . It actually knew how to attack .

Long Chen gestured at Meng Qi, telling her to get further back . He took out a dragon tooth and stabbed it at the egg .

BOOM!

The egg’s runes erupted with power . Long Chen felt like his body was about to explode, and a powerful wave sent him flying .
