Chapter 5114 Feeding

“What is the name of this poison pill?” asked the Earth Cauldron as it watched Long Chen drop the giant pill into the devil fetus.

“I don’t know either. I refined it based on a poison pill formula in my memories and the medicinal ingredients I have on hand,” answered Long Chen.

In truth, Long Chen himself was frightened by the poison pill. Its toxicity was absolutely terrifying. Fortunately, it was a demon pill, and Yao Linger’s core energy was able to seal its spirit. Otherwise, the moment it came out of the cauldron, it would explode. Right now, all his hopes were on it.

Long Chen carefully sent the poison pill toward the Devil Spirit, whose mouth was opening, drooling. It looked like it was having a wonderful dream.

When Long Chen sent the medicinal pill to its mouth, it inhaled and sucked up the medicinal pill. However, the pill got stuck in its throat, so it spat the pill out.

Long Chen instantly felt a shiver run down his spine. When the pill came out, the pill cloth was slightly torn. If the pill cloth was destroyed, the toxicity might leak out and trigger the Devil Spirit’s sense of danger. The Devil Spirit could then prevent the full effect of the poison.

The Earth Cauldron was also tense. It was not in its nature to take such risks, but Long Chen always liked to do these heart-pounding things.

The second time Long Chen sent the pill to the Devil Spirit’s mouth, the same thing happened. It once more spat the pill out. The Devil Spirit seemed to sense something and even worked its jaw a bit, but fortunately, it didn’t wake up.

Long Chen’s heart pounded like a drum. He was so tense that sweat was dripping down his forehead.

“Fuck, you have such a big mouth, so why is your throat so small?!” cursed Long Chen inside.

The Devil Spirit’s mouth was definitely huge, capable of devouring an entire watermelon, but it actually spat out this tiny medicinal pill twice. Furthermore, the pill cloth started to look a bit thin.

“If it’s no good, we should leave. If it doesn’t work this time, the toxicity will definitely leak. Then you’ll be dead,” advised the Earth Cauldron.

“It’s only a pre-Emperor. I’m not even afraid of Pill Valley’s Domain Lord, so why should I fear it?” Long Chen clenched his teeth, his words a mix of reassurance to the Earth Cauldron and a boost of confidence for himself.

“Actually, that Domain Lord is also a pre-Emperor,” said the Earth Cauldron.

“What? He isn’t a true Human Emperor?” Long Chen was startled. He had always thought that the Glacial Heaven Domain Lord was a Human Emperor.

“In terms of realm, he can be considered a half-step Emperor. However, he has a Human Emperor’s power. The support of faith energy can allow him to temporarily reach the Human Emperor realm,” explained the Earth Cauldron.

Long Chen smiled bitterly and said, “You really aren’t letting me feel any comfort. But no matter what, I have to try it.”

“You are still so young, so you’ll have many opportunities in the future. I don’t understand why you have to always take such crazy risks,” said the Earth Cauldron.

Long Chen took a deep breath, focusing his mind. He answered, “You may not realize this, but every step I’ve taken has been fraught with danger. I can’t afford to miss any opportunity for improvement, because the next chance might slip away before I even have the power to grasp it. Think back to our days together—is what I’m saying not the truth? One misstep leads to another, and if I miss this opportunity, I could be doomed before the next one even appears.”

The Earth Cauldron pondered this and remembered its time with Long Chen. Every step Long Chen had taken had indeed been the right one. Each opportunity was hard-fought, and had Long Chen’s power been even slightly less, those chances would have passed him by.

“Fine. Then let’s risk it all!” said the Earth Cauldron.

Hearing that, Long Chen was reinvigorated. He was under immense pressure, and it was very important for him to have the Earth Cauldron’s support right now.

Long Chen took a deep breath and sent the pill toward the Devil Spirit’s mouth yet again. However, this time, he was extremely careful and patiently waited for his chance—his final chance.

He examined the Devil Spirit’s breathing and tried to grasp its rhythm. Suddenly, its mouth opened more than usual as if it was yawning in its sleep.

“Now!”

At this moment, Long Chen felt like his heart stopped beating as he sent the poison pill into its mouth.

As the poison pill entered its throat, the Devil Spirit suddenly coughed, making Long Chen’s hair stand on end.

However, after coughing once, the Devil Spirit swallowed the poison pill. Long Chen clenched his fists in anticipation, and the Earth Cauldron felt a wave of relief. It said, “Excellent. The pill cloth remained intact. The two layers of pill cloth will gradually merge in its stomach, releasing the poison pill’s energy. The pill will most likely erupt within an incense stick of time. That will be our best chance to act.”

“It seems that the Devil Spirit won’t wake up for a while. Senior, you should extract the Grandmist primal elixir, or it might be too difficult in a bit,” advised Long Chen.

“Alright.” The Earth Cauldron shrank and slowly entered the devil fetus. While it appeared as a large egg from the outside, its interior was an expansive world of its own. As the Grandmist primal elixir was absorbed, it quickly transformed into swirling violet clouds within the primal chaos space.

Seeing that the Devil Spirit wasn’t reacting, Long Chen sighed in relief. He then used the violet crystal heavenly eye to look outside.

The violet crystal heavenly eye was truly divine, looking through the coffin effortlessly. It revealed a chaotic scene where devil creatures were bustling about. As Long Chen searched for the six-vein Heaven Saint devil creature, all the devil creatures suddenly recoiled in fear, hastily abandoning their tasks and fleeing in one direction.

Long Chen followed their movement and his heart skipped a beat. Countless devil creatures were converging, and among them was the six-vein Heaven Saint. Most alarming, however, was the presence of five additional figures standing alongside him.

“Damn, six six-vein Heaven Saints!” Long Chen exclaimed in shock.

As Long Chen marveled at these formidable beings, the void twisted and a masked figure materialized before them.

“Tch, a mask?” Long Chen sneered. What could possibly hide from the violet crystal heavenly eye? As he infused it with his violet blood’s energy, the mask gradually became transparent. When Long Chen saw the figure’s face, he was stunned.

“Lu Fan?"
