Chapter 461

== Ye Zhiqiu ==
"Long Chen..." Ye Zhiqiu let out a soft cry. As soon as that dagger had pierced her, she had sensed a fierce poison spreading within her. She was already beginning to lose consciousness. But looking at Long Chen's face, warmth appeared in her eyes.
At this moment, Long Chen's body was trembling as he held her. As a pill cultivator, he was proficient in all poisons and could instantly tell that this dagger had contained a mixed poison. There had been at least a hundred different toxins in it.
When those toxins entered a person's body, they would treat the body as a battlefield, beginning to clash against each other, destroying the body from the inside.
"Quickly consume this." Long Chen hastily fed Ye Zhiqiu an antitoxin pill. But he knew that this kind of pill wouldn't be able to save her life. At best, it could postpone her death for a short while.
To suppress this kind of poison would require at least a fifth tier antitoxin pill. But Long Chen didn't have any. That filled him with grief and pain. Such a fairy-like woman would die just like this.
He thought of the days they had passed together. He thought of when the three of them had formed an alliance to snatch the Profound Spirit Fruit. He thought of how they had cultivated together. Although Ye Zhiqiu had always been icy, Long Chen knew she was actually extremely kindhearted.
Now, he saw a faint black qi was starting to surface on her face. The poison had already reached her brain, and there was no hope at all. His tears streamed down.
== Bati (Hegemon Body) ==
Hegemon Body Art... In other words, to become a domineering hegemon looking down arrogantly at all. Anyone who refuses to submit to me will be destroyed. My cultivation path is one of walking across countless corpses.
Long Chen suddenly stopped. He slowly raised his blood-colored saber. "Being tolerant and cowardly will only bring humiliation and pain. From today onwards, I swear on the weapon in my hand that I, Long Chen, will no longer concede to anyone.
"On my cultivation path, if people block me, I will kill them. If gods block me, I will murder gods. I will use the bones of my enemies to forge my cultivation path, and blood to decorate it.
"You will all be witnesses to my oath, and you will also be my first stepping stone on my cultivation path. I will use your blood to write my life's overture."
Long Chen's voice was calm. It didn't contain any emotion. And yet, it still caused people to feel a chill. Each one of his words contained a powerful will, as well as an unquestionable determination.
Long Chen slowly closed his eyes. Suddenly, an unprecedented aura surged into the sky.
His divine ring once more appeared behind him. At the same time, a pillar of light soared into the sky. The originally dusky sky began to boil. A huge maelstrom hundreds of miles wide formed. At the center of the maelstrom was Long Chen.
His FengFu Star and Alioth Star quickly circulated. But this time was different from before. This time, their energy was sent directly to his Dantian.
His originally empty Dantian now had a pearl-like bead in it. 
The bead now looked just like a shining star. After receiving the FengFu Star and Alioth Star's energy, it began to slowly circulate.
