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

Page 239

"Pah! You old devil, you actually have a moment like this..." Yao Wanhuo reacted and immediately cursed sarcastically, instantly feeling much better.

Hun Xuzi was furious at Ye Chen's scheme and immediately swung his hand to strike at him.

Damn it, all the nascent elixir I painstakingly cultivated is gone, so let's all just give up!

Ye Chen didn't even glance at Hun Xuzi's actions. He took the embryonic pill from Jinglian's hand and quickly threw it into the fire cauldron, preparing to refine it again into an energy-giving pill to nourish himself.

The next moment, Yao Wanhuo and Shennong Elder acted simultaneously, directly helping Ye Chen stop the enraged Hun Xuzi...

"You two dare to stop me?!" Seeing his attack blocked by the two of them, Hun Xuzi roared in fury.

The old man Shennong's expression remained unchanged, but his attitude spoke volumes.

"Hun Xuzi, are you the only one who can attack us in secret, and we're not allowed to retaliate?" Yao Wanhuo said coldly. "If you follow the rules, then we naturally won't interfere. But if you don't want to follow the rules, then this old man will see just how capable you are!"

Hun Xuzi was furious and almost couldn't resist killing the two of them on the spot...

Unfortunately, he held back in the end, after all, he couldn't let his recklessness ruin important matters. Besides, with two old ghosts blocking his way, unless he revealed his true strength, he really couldn't do anything to Ye Chen.

And so, the sky fell silent once more, and everyone focused their attention on Ye Chen, waiting to see if he could pull off a miracle in front of everyone!

Time passes slowly...

After an unknown amount of time, everyone suddenly felt that the sky above them seemed to have darkened.

"Boom!"

The clear sky was instantly covered with dark clouds, which shrouded the entire earth in darkness.

Black lightning, carrying destructive power, streaked swiftly through the clouds...

Ye Chen raised his head, his gaze calmly fixed on the dense black lightning in the sky.

The next moment, his sleeves suddenly twitched, and the lid of the fire cauldron automatically flipped over.

An irresistible medicinal fragrance quickly spread, eventually condensing into countless beads of different colors, falling densely from the sky like a grand rain of cinnabar!

"As the rain of cinnabar falls, the elixir of immortality emerges!" Yao Dan took a deep breath and slowly uttered a sentence.

Ye Chen watched this scene with a smile, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride: I didn't expect it to actually succeed!

This was also the first time he had successfully refined a pill of the highest grade!

A Grade 9 Profound Pill—this is the same grade of pill as the one the Pill Tower Ancestor was born with… However, Ye Chen’s Grade 9 Profound Pill was not endowed with a soul, so even though it was full of spirituality, it still cannot be considered a life.

A burst of light erupted, and the ball of light containing the ninth-grade profound pill directly faced the rolling pill lightning, undergoing the final tempering of its birth!

This is unlike any other elixir that has appeared before.

As the elixir emerged from its tribulation, before it could even escape, Jinglian waved her hand and conjured a milky-white lotus flower, sealing the elixir inside.

As for Hun Xuzi, who had been secretly waiting to seize the opportunity, he was directly blasted back by Ye Chen's Dragon Fury...

Chapter 521 The Tribulation of the Medicine Clan

With the dust settled, the competition for the title of the continent's number one alchemist has come to a conclusion.

The Medicine Clan members were still somewhat annoyed that Ye Chen, a junior, had come from behind to win, but it was still better than Hun Xuzi winning, right?

Thinking about this made Yao Dan and Yao Wanhu feel a little better.

As for Shennong the Elder, he was truly magnanimous. Just as he said at the beginning, if the number one alchemist on this continent were to be taken away by Hunxuzi, it would be a disgrace to the entire alchemy world.

As for the others, they are all true powerhouses in the world of alchemy, and he wouldn't mind who took him away.

However, when he looked at that young man, a hint of envy would flash in his eyes.

Sometimes, you can't deny the power of talent...

"Hehe, it seems the result is in." Yao Dan arrived in the sky and said in front of everyone.

"Talented people emerge in every generation. President Ye's mastery of alchemy is truly breathtaking. In the world of alchemy, there is probably no one who can compare to you. You deserve the title of the number one alchemist!"

With these words, Ye Chen truly became the most powerful person in the entire Dou Qi Continent's alchemy world. From then on, not only did his own status in the alchemy world rise sharply, but even the Pill Tower would no longer be limited to the entire Central Continent!

Ye Chen said a few words of modesty, then flew over to Su Lingyin's side.

"In that case, I hereby declare this pharmacopoeia..."

Seeing this, the Sky Pill was about to announce the end of the pharmacopoeia session, but before he could speak, he was interrupted...

"Wait!"

The sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard, even Yao Dan couldn't help but frown and look at the person who had spoken.

"Hun Xuzi, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to cause trouble?" Yao Wanhuo shouted angrily.

"Hmph..." Hun Xuzi sneered disdainfully at him and looked at the medicinal pill.

"Clan Chief Yaodan, please don't be in such a hurry..."

Seeing this guy's dawdling manner, Yao Dan was also a little angry and said, "Hun Xuzi, what exactly do you want to do? You dare to cause trouble in the Pharmacopoeia, don't blame my Yao Clan for being ruthless and taking you away directly!"

On the high platform, Ye Chen watched this scene with great interest, while secretly transmitting his voice to Su Lingyin: "This guy is deliberately stalling for time. Be careful, the real show is about to begin..."

"..."

Su Lingyin looked at him with some doubt, wondering what kind of "good show" Ye Chen was talking about.

However, she remained vigilant, always prepared to deal with any unexpected situations that might arise...

"Hehe, Patriarch Yaodan, don't be impatient. I just have a favor to ask..." Hun Xuzi in the sky said with a strange smile.

"Oh?" Yao Dan frowned slightly, looking at Hun Xuzi's expression, a slight sense of vigilance rising in his heart.

"tell me the story."

Seeing this, Hun Xuzi's smile grew even more eerie...

"I would like to temporarily borrow the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade from the Medicine Clan!"

Upon hearing this, the plaza, which had been buzzing with excitement over the birth of the ninth-grade Xuan Dan, immediately fell silent.

The faces of all the Medicine Clan elders darkened instantly, and their gazes toward Hun Xuzi in mid-air flashed with a cold light.

Those who are truly invited by the Medicine Clan are all top-tier forces on the continent, each with a long and distinguished lineage. Although they don't know much about the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, they have all heard of it.

Because they knew some information, after hearing what Hun Xuzi said, everyone realized that something was wrong...

"What is the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade?" Su Lingyin asked via telepathy, feigning curiosity.

Well, Ye Chen hadn't expected that there were actually people here who didn't know the name of this Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade...

This is not surprising, after all, before, Yin Valley was not even considered a second-rate force on the continent, and it had no heritage. It was just something Su Lingyin casually established.

As for the Devouring Spirit Clan's inheritance that she awakened, it's impossible for her to have any information about the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, because the eight ancient clans hadn't obtained the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade when the Devouring Spirit Clan was destroyed...

"All you need to know is that this thing is the key left behind by the last recorded Dou Emperor of the Dou Qi Continent, Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, to open his ruins and caves," Ye Chen explained simply.

"The Dou Di's cave?!" Su Lingyin was suddenly startled, her eyes brightening.

"then you……"

"Stop!" Ye Chen interrupted her before she could finish speaking. "It's said that the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was divided into eight pieces by the eight ancient clans, and it's only effective when all eight pieces are collected. So, having only one piece is a hot potato..."

"Could it be that the extinction of the Spirit Clan and the Stone Clan before..." Su Lingyin was very clever and immediately thought of what had happened before.

Ye Chen nodded and said, "It's highly likely. Moreover, judging from Hun Xuzi's current behavior, the matter between the Spirit Clan and the Stone Clan is probably inseparable from the Hun Clan!"

"Really? The Soul Clan is that strong?" Su Lingyin asked incredulously. "Didn't the patriarch of the Ancient Clan notice anything? Or did the two clans... join forces?"

As everyone knows, there are only two true supreme powerhouses in the entire Dou Qi Continent: the patriarch of the Ancient Clan and the patriarch of the Soul Clan. Every move of these two influences the direction of the entire continent, and if one of them makes a move, it is impossible for it to escape the eyes of the other.

So how did the Soul Clan manage to silently annihilate two ancient races without being detected, and now directly attack the Medicine Clan?

"Hehe, don't overthink it. We'll find out what tricks the Soul Clan has up their sleeves in a bit..." Ye Chen smiled slightly, but didn't directly reveal that the Soul Clan also had a nine-star Dou Sheng like Void Devouring Flame.

On the other side, Hun Xuzi's unbridled behavior directly ignited the long-suppressed anger of the Medicine Clan, and Yao Wanhuo, the second strongest member of the Medicine Clan, immediately attacked in a rage...

Hun Xuzi remained completely unconcerned about the massive firestorm controlled by Yao Wanhuo.

"It's been so long, it should be about time by now..."

His gaze was fixed on the distant sky, and the eerie smile on his lips widened. The black flames deep within his eyes, like a long-suppressed raging dragon, surged forth wildly...

The next moment, Hun Xuzi's aura suddenly surged!

boom!

A violent aura shot straight into the sky, and Hun Xuzi, whose aura had drastically changed, struck the firestorm with a simple and unadorned palm...

The moment they made contact, the massive flames were completely swallowed up by the creature.

In contrast, Yao Wanhuo, who had previously been so imposing, was now as if struck by a heavy blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood and landing awkwardly on the plaza below, creating a huge crater.

This scene stunned everyone...

Who would have thought that Yao Wanhuo, who was previously on par with Hun Xuzi, couldn't even withstand a single move from his opponent?

live!

This Soul Void Child has actually been hiding his true strength!

Everyone immediately realized that the problem was serious...

Despite his immense strength, Hun Xuzi never revealed his true power, even though Ye Chen and the other two had their nearly completed ninth-grade Xuan Dan stolen by a combined attack. This suggests that his ambitions are far from small!

"Could this guy be trying to steal the ancient jade from my Medicine Clan?" Clan Chief Yao Dan looked at Hun Xuzi with surprise and doubt, and couldn't help but think to himself.

Even if this guy is a Seven-Star Dou Sheng, he's underestimating the Medicine Clan too much, isn't he?

Of course, just to be on the safe side, Yaodan still prepared for the worst...

"Send a signal to the Flame Clan and the Thunder Clan, saying... we've found the mastermind behind the disappearances of the Spirit Clan and the Stone Clan!"

The three-race alliance had already constructed spatial passages within their respective clan boundaries when they formed the alliance, precisely to prepare for any potential crises.

Although Yao Dan still didn't think the Soul Clan could snatch the ancient jade from the Medicine Clan, he still notified the Thunder Clan and the Flame Clan to come to his aid.

However, all the Medicine Clan elders who tried to open the spatial passage failed, and they could no longer even sense the spatial passage that had been constructed...

This panicked not only the Medicine Clan, but all the sects and forces participating in the Pharmacopoeia.

"Damn it! My spatial scroll is unusable!" someone exclaimed in shock and anger after trying out the spatial scroll.

Even powerful Dou Sheng cultivators attempted to forcibly tear apart the spatial barrier of the Medicine Realm, but all their efforts were in vain…

Looking at the group of people below who seemed to be headless flies, Hun Xuzi revealed a cruel smile.

Then, endless black flames seeped out from the void, spreading out in all directions and completely covering the world...

Everyone touched by the black flames, whether they were powerful figures from various sects or descendants of the Medicine Clan, was instantly devoured.

In an instant, the once bustling and peaceful world of medicine was transformed into a hellish realm.

Every single second, countless lives are transformed into souls within the black flames… Oh, no, their souls are also devoured by the Void Devouring Flame, so they can't even be considered souls anymore…

"The Void Devouring Flame! It's the Void Devouring Flame itself!"

Seeing this scene, Yao Dan's hair and beard stood on end. He roared, "All members of the Yao Clan, listen to my command! Activate the Heavenly Transformation Medicine Array!"

It's obvious that this Void Devouring Flame is designed to devour everyone in the entire Medicine Realm...

This is probably why the Spirit Clan and the Stone Clan disappeared so cleanly!

“The Void Devouring Flame has revealed its true form. What should we do?” Su Lingyin looked at the great array above her head and the black flames that were constantly confronting the array, then turned to Ye Chen and asked.

"Don't rush, now is not the time for us to make a move..." Ye Chen reassured him.

Even if he makes a move now, at most he can only seize a sub-flame of the Void Devouring Flame, but Ye Chen's goal is not limited to that...

"You little brat...you wouldn't be eyeing the Void Devouring Flame's true form, would you?" Su Lingyin was suddenly startled by the thought that flashed through her mind.

Judging from this commotion, it can actually seal off the entire Medicine Realm and even contend with the Medicine Clan's last trump card, the Hu Guardian Clan Formation. The strength of this Void Devouring Flame is clearly far beyond everyone's imagination!

"I haven't lived enough yet..." Ye Chen rolled his eyes at his wildly imaginative "mother-in-law".

That's a genuine nine-star Dou Sheng, four stars higher than me!

Let alone myself, even if you tied the two of them together, at most you'd just give the other a side dish...

Outside the great formation, a patch of black flame slowly climbed and wriggled, eventually forming a black figure whose face was completely obscured.

Hun Xuzi flew over to the figure and respectfully bowed, saying, "Lord Xu Wu, this Medicine Clan's grand formation still requires your personal intervention."

"Void Devouring Flame..."
