Battle Through the Heavens: The Alchemist Starting from the Ye Family

Page 276

Such blunt words caused the old patriarch of the Dan Tower, who knew some information, to change his expression drastically.

"You...come from beyond the heavens?"

Even Gu Yuan was shocked. In all his years of life, this was the first time he had ever seen an enemy from outer space!

"Hehe, it seems you, a lowly creature from a lower plane, know quite a bit... I'll give you a chance. Submit to the Demon King now, and perhaps when the Demon King descends, you can become the king of this plane!"

No world can be digested in a short time, especially one that seems to be relatively strong...

Before the Demon King ascends to higher realms, it is essential to maintain sufficient vitality in such worlds. Depleting resources is absolutely unacceptable. Therefore, in each world, they select a sufficiently powerful individual to help them nurture these "foods"!

Unfortunately, despite the other party's "merciful" promise, the Old Ancestor of the Pill Tower was not moved in the slightest. Instead, he immediately transmitted his voice to Gu Yuan and said, "We must not let this person have a chance to escape, otherwise when the so-called 'Demon King' he speaks of descends, our Dou Qi Continent will be in danger of destruction!"

At that moment, the two immediately reached a consensus and then attacked Heart-Eater without hesitation!

"Ancient Emperor's Palm!"

"Danrongtian!"

He went all out from the start, but faced with that seemingly world-destroying attack, Shi Xin just smiled disdainfully.

"It seems you made the wrong choice..."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Xin's body had already transformed into a streak of black light and rushed straight towards the Pill Tower Ancestor.

"what?!"

Both the Pill Tower Ancestor and Gu Yuan were taken aback by the other party's behavior. Is this how people from beyond the heavens fight?

So reckless... He actually charged headfirst into a powerful fighting technique unleashed by a peak Dou Sheng level opponent?

Even Zhu Kun, the guy with the strongest physical body on the entire continent, wouldn't dare to use this kind of fighting style, right?

sizzle...

The azure light of the bloodline unleashed by the Dan Tower Ancestor instantly dissolved upon encountering the black aura emanating from the Heart-Eating Soul.

It's important to know that this move was executed using the blood of the Pill Tower Ancestor as a catalyst. Back in the Demon Flame Space, it could even corrode the Demon Flame God Statue of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame...

Despite this terrifying situation, the moment it came into contact with the black aura surrounding the opponent, it was utterly defeated without any resistance and was completely corroded away in a very short time!

This scene was clearly beyond the expectations of the Pill Tower Ancestor. So when the Heart-Eating One broke through the azure light and came in front of him, he could only barely raise his palm and strike out to block the other's figure.

boom!

The two collided and instantly flew thousands of meters away from each other.

However, after landing, the old ancestor of the Pill Tower immediately looked at his palm... At this moment, the palm of his hand that had just touched the other's body had turned black, and a powerful corrosive force was rapidly flowing from his wrist to his arm. Even though he tried his best to stop it, he could not remove this force!

"Don't come into contact with that black mist!"

Seeing Gu Yuan and Hei Shi and the others who had joined the battle, the Dan Tower Ancestor immediately shouted a reminder to everyone.

Upon hearing the warning, Gu Yuan and the others immediately changed their tactics, each unleashing their strongest attack techniques for ranged energy attacks.

After exchanging blows for a while, although the Heart-Eating Beast was at a disadvantage, Gu Yuan and the others were hesitant to act because they couldn't do anything to it, so for a time the two sides could only remain deadlocked...

Once again, relying on its powerful corrosive energy properties, Shi Xin forced back Gu Yuan and the others. Shi Xin smiled coldly to himself: "Very good. Although the power of this world is not bad, it is no match for the corrosive power of my Shi Demon Clan. It seems that after the Demon King descends, he will be able to easily conquer this place!"

Having figured out this information, Shi Xin no longer had the desire to get entangled with these people.

Next, all he had to do was wait for the Demon King to arrive...

"Hehehe, that's enough for today's battle. Enjoy your last moments, and await the Demon King's arrival, when everything will come to an end!"

With this person's eerie laughter, the figure of Shi Xin gradually turned into nothingness and completely disappeared under the sky.

Gu Yuan, his face ashen, pushed his soul power to its limit, yet he couldn't detect even a single hair. This plunged the hearts of the many powerful figures present into utter despair...

"Go back, everyone..." Gu Yuan said in a very heavy voice.

"When you get back, be prepared. Call out those who are in seclusion. Maybe next time, it will really be the final outcome of the life and death of the entire continent!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yuan's figure disappeared.

After exchanging glances, everyone left.

……

……

Dan Domain, Holy Pill City.

Cai Die and Zi Yan, who had already gone into seclusion before Ye Chen left, reappeared in the huge conference hall at the top of the Pill Tower.

In addition, the entire Dan Tower Alliance, the three ancient races, and all the powerful figures from the hidden sects who were qualified to sit here were present.

Looking around, there are over a hundred Dou Sheng at the five-star level or above, and over a thousand Dou Sheng experts... Besides humans, half of them are ninth-tier magical beasts, and even the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, who have a deep-seated hatred for the Pill Tower, is present.

This matter concerns the life and death of the entire Dou Qi Continent, and all the grudges of the past now seem insignificant.

"Who else is missing? Where is the Valley Master of Yin Valley?" Lei Ying, the patriarch of the Lei Clan, asked with a frown.

Although Lei Ying's lifespan was greatly reduced due to his manipulation of his origin during the great battle with the Soul Clan, he could still unleash the strength of a peak eight-star Dou Sheng if he disregarded everything, so no one present dared to underestimate him.

/>

Upon hearing the question, Cao Ying, the organizer of the gathering, explained, "Valley Master Yin Gu was in seclusion at a critical juncture, and Dan Chen was there to guard her, so we don't need to worry about her now..."

Gu Yuan stopped Lei Ying from saying anything more; now was not the time to worry about such things.

"In that case, let's discuss how to deal with the Demon King who is about to descend upon the continent..."

Judging from the sheer number of powerful individuals present, even after gathering the strength of the entire Dou Qi Continent, their power remains terrifying.

Moreover, although Cai Die and Zi Yan forced their way out of seclusion this time, with the help of the ninth-grade pills provided by Ye Chen during their years of seclusion, both women broke through to the early stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, and their combat strength was no weaker than that of the mid-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng...

In addition, Su Lingyin, a member of the Devouring Spirit Clan who has always been greatly feared by the three ancient races, is said to have broken through to the ninth star and is currently consolidating her cultivation.

In this way, even without Ye Chen and Zhu Kun, they would still have five nine-star Dou Sheng powerhouses!

The only thing that Cao Ying and the others found somewhat regrettable was that the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, which was hiding in the space of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's stone statue and attempting to break through, had remained completely silent. Since outsiders couldn't enter to investigate, they didn't know if it could break through before the crisis arrived…

As for the Demon King, there's really nothing to discuss; it's simply a matter of fighting to the death.

However, in order to minimize the damage to Zhongzhou from the potential war, the group decided to choose a remote and desolate wilderness as the battlefield.

Moreover, under the mobilization of the Danta Alliance and the three ancient races, all resources across the entire continent were mobilized to maximize everyone's strength and make final preparations for the upcoming great war.

To this end, many alchemists in the Pill Tower, along with Shennong, Yao Chen, Xiao Yan, and even Yao Tian and Yao Ling, the last remaining members of the Yao Clan, all pitched in and worked tirelessly to refine various high-level pills.

Within the makeshift wasteland stone city, dozens of bolts of lightning strike down from the sky every day, their thunderous roars shaking the surrounding area.

Amidst this intense preparation, the day everyone had been waiting for finally arrived...

Dark clouds obscure the sky; a catastrophe is imminent on the mainland!

A terrifyingly large palace, comparable to a giant city in the Central Plains, slowly emerged from the dark clouds, and its terrifying pressure instantly plunged the entire Central Plains into a deathly silence.

"Hmm, what a nice world..." A young figure slowly walked out of the main hall, looking down at the undulating mountains below, and chuckled.

At the same time, a dark figure shot straight up from below into the sky, arrived beside the young man, knelt down, and respectfully said, "Shi Xin greets the Demon King!"

"Well, how did things go?" The young man asked indifferently, without even glancing at Shi Xin kneeling on the ground.

"My Lord Demon King, I have thoroughly investigated the forces of this world. However, they refuse to submit to us and have established a war fortress in a wasteland, preparing to resist the arrival of the Demon King's army!"

"Heh, a bunch of overconfident fools..." The young man's expression remained unchanged, he just smiled contemptuously, then turned and walked into the palace.

As he walked, he gave the order: "Erosion Heart, you and Bloodthirst will lead the Demon King's army to wipe out those who dare to resist."

Upon hearing this, Shi Xin and the Bloodthirsty one who had gone to deliver the message instantly showed expressions of wild joy, and then immediately shouted, "Yes, Your Majesty! We will bring this continent under Your Majesty's control as quickly as possible!"

After the young man's figure completely disappeared into the palace, the ecstatic Heart-Eater and Blood-Eater stood up, exchanged a glance, and immediately let out a shrill shriek. Then, countless dark shadows rushed out from the huge palace...

As the overwhelming black shadows swept across the sky, the wailing of alarms echoed throughout the Wasteland Stone City.

Cai Die, Zi Yan, Su Lingyin, the Pill Tower Ancestor, and Gu Yuan looked at the enemy relentlessly crushing down from the sky with extremely solemn expressions.

"Army, prepare!"

A thousand Dou Sheng, a hundred thousand Dou Zun, and a million Dou Zong—this is the strongest force that the Dou Qi Continent has brought out.

But when the two armies clashed simultaneously, countless powerful figures from the Dou Qi Continent perished in the blink of an eye…

Compared to the elite Demon King Army of the Eclipse Demon Clan, even a Dou Zun expert was no match for them, let alone the million Dou Zong experts who were too weak to even be used as cannon fodder!

Gu Yuan and the others turned ashen-faced; the power of these demon kings' armies far exceeded their expectations!

Even if they manage to win this battle, the continent's high-end combat power will likely be wiped out, and it will take at least a thousand years to recover!

Moreover, the terrifying demon king that person mentioned has not yet appeared. It's possible that the Dou Qi Continent truly cannot escape this calamity...

"Gentlemen, are you prepared to fight to the death...?"

After slowly uttering a sentence, Gu Yuan roared directly at the ancient clan below him, "Ancient clan, form the formation!"

In an instant, the ancient clan mobilized ten thousand people, and a huge ancient emperor mirror instantly took shape. A huge beam of light shot out from the mirror surface, directly piercing through hundreds of demon king soldiers.

Looking at the Demon King's army soldiers killed by the Ancient Emperor Mirror, Gu Yuan and the others finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

As long as the opponent is achievable, there is still hope.

"Thunder Clan, form ranks!"

"Flame Clan, form ranks!"

"Ancient Void Dragon, form the array!"

"..."

Ancient formations, some familiar and some unfamiliar, were unleashed. With the power of these formations, the continental coalition was no longer being slaughtered in one-sided fashion, and the original army gradually began to gain a foothold.

This scene caused the faces of the many Devouring Demons led by Devouring Heart to darken.

They hadn't expected that these native ants possessed such a powerful formation. If they couldn't destroy it quickly, their demon army would likely suffer heavy losses...

This is unforgivable!

"Alright, you all should make your move now. Destroy these formations, kill those powerful figures, and completely crush the courage of these ants to resist..."

Everyone should give it a try!

Heart-Eater and Blood-Eater glanced at the demon generals behind them and said indifferently.

"Yes!"

Thirty dark figures rushed into the battlefield in an instant, and soon most of the great formation was destroyed. The continental allied forces also reacted quickly, with Gu Yuan and others leading a large number of seven-star and eight-star Dou Sheng to stop the invincible demon generals.

Although those thirty demon generals were not as strong as the Four Great Demon Generals, including Shi Xin, in a one-on-one fight, even someone like Lei Ying would not be able to withstand them...

For a time, even though the continental coalition had gone all out, it was still being driven back by the Demon King's army. Countless powerful figures fell, and defeat seemed to be only a matter of time.

Chapter 562 Ye Chen Returns

The vast sky and earth were shrouded in a dark red hue, even the earth and distant mountains were a pale red, as if they were stained with endless blood, filled with a tragic atmosphere.

And indeed it was so. The blood of millions of continental allied soldiers was spilled on this wasteland, and the dense aura of bloodlust soared into the sky. Even a Dou Zun powerhouse would lose his mind instantly and become a monster who only knew how to kill if he came into contact with this aura of bloodlust...

In contrast to the allied forces, the demon army bathed in blood grew stronger with each battle. The dense blood energy not only had no effect on them, but even became a source of nourishment for their power!

Such a terrifying scene instantly terrified many with weak wills, causing them to abandon their bold pronouncements before the battle and cry out in despair, wanting to flee this hellish battlefield.

Unfortunately, the moment they turned around, they had already become a dead soul in the hands of the Demon King's army.

"Ancient Emperor's Mirror!"

Gu Yuan personally took charge of the battle, suspended in the vast and boundless battle energy. His hand seals changed, and the battle energy condensed, finally transforming into an ancient energy mirror that was tens of thousands of feet in size.

The ancient mirror, imbued with the fighting spirit of all the powerful members of the ancient clan, suddenly emanated a terrifying wave of destruction.

"Pfft!"

As soon as the energy mirror appeared, Gu Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood essence, which splashed into the mirror, causing it to glow.

"stop!"

Gu Yuan's expression was solemn. His hands moved rapidly, and finally, the energy mirror trembled violently. A beam of light tens of thousands of feet long suddenly shot out from the mirror. Wherever the beam passed, even the air was blasted into nothingness!

boom!

Blood rained down from the sky, a devastating attack that combined the full strength of the entire ancient clan. It not only swept away hundreds of demon kings but also directly killed a Demon Devourer General!

Currently, only the formations of the Ancient Clan and the Ancient Dragon Clan remain standing on the entire battlefield, while the Thunder Clan and the Flame Clan have already collapsed under the attack of the Devouring Demon General...

Lei Ying and Yan Jin even chose to self-destruct along with one of the Devouring Demon Generals for the sake of their race's survival... But even so, they only severely injured one Demon General and forced two others to retreat. Afterward, the entire Lei Clan and Yan Clan were almost completely wiped out by the Demon King's army that swarmed in!
