Capítulo 169: Chapter 168: Chaotic Situation!
It was the Fourth Elder of the Small Pill Tower. Compared to the Great Elder, a genuine Dou Saint, the Fourth Elder, a Half-Saint, had some difficulties protecting himself on such a battlefield. If the Pill Tower Ancestor had appeared a bit slower, he might have fallen into the hands of the Soul Palace.
"The Pill Tower Ancestor! Who would have thought we'd get to see such a legendary figure..."
"Rumor has it that the Ancestor's true form is a ninth-grade Mysterious Pill. There's probably only one such pill in the world, right? If refined..."
"Shut up! You looking for death? The Pill Tower Ancestor's power is unparalleled. While it's not impossible for someone between heaven and earth to defeat him, finding someone who could refine him so easily wouldn't be easy."
The revelation of the Pill Tower Ancestor's identity caused a stir in Sacred Pill City. Some well-informed old monsters looked at the Pill Tower Ancestor with astonished faces and reverent eyes, their minds filled with uncontrollable wonder.
"Pill Tower's old monsters, you finally showed up," the Great Heavenly Venerate eyed the Pill Tower Ancestor, a heavy wariness in his gaze. After all, this was an old monster that even the Hall Master couldn't deal with!
The Pill Tower Ancestor looked at the Great Elder and Fourth Elder with a wave of his hand. A pure liquid exuding dense pill fragrance fell into their mouths, and instantly, their previous injuries visibly healed.
"Since I have appeared, this farce should end!" The Pill Tower Ancestor's extraordinarily clear eyes gazed at the star region, as if seeing through countless layers of seals and taking in the scene within.
"Everyone, get back."
The Pill Tower Ancestor extended his tender arm, making a slashing gesture towards the star region. The next moment, the surrounding space bizarrely transformed.
The people of the Soul Palace and the Pill Tower appeared behind the Great Heavenly Venerate and Pill Tower Ancestor, respectively. The massive dragon form of the Three Thousand Burning Flame also hovered in mid-air.
Its gigantic dragon eyes looked around in terror, feeling completely trapped and unable to move. It trembled uncontrollably in fear.
Meanwhile, both the Pill Tower and Soul Palace members had confused looks, not understanding how the situation changed so drastically during the heat of the battle.
"A spatial transposition? A six-star Dou Saint?! You really broke through to six stars?!" The Great Heavenly Venerate's pupils shrank abruptly as he solemnly looked at the Pill Tower Ancestor.
"Ancestor!" The Pill Tower members, initially dumbfounded, showed surprise and joy when they saw the Pill Tower Ancestor. Led by the Great Elder, they respectfully greeted him.
"Dare to cause trouble in my Pill Tower? Let Hun Miesheng come to take you back!" After rescuing both sides, the Pill Tower Ancestor glanced at the Soul Palace members. With a quick motion, the energy in heaven and earth erupted, forming a giant hand that reached towards the Soul Palace members.
"Impossible..." Feeling the constraining force of the giant hand, the Great Heavenly Venerate's face changed, a sense of powerlessness rising within.
At this critical moment, a sinister voice echoed, "Pill Tower, such arrogance! My Soul Palace men aren't for you to detain!"
"Heaven-Swallowing Mirror!"
Hun Miesheng's figure slowly appeared in front of the Soul Palace members. Staring up at the palm print in the sky, he spat out a black light column that instantly transformed into a black mirror-like barrier.
The black barrier rapidly expanded, devouring everything, visible and invisible, into void within moments.
The giant hand in the sky crashed onto the black barrier, not with a bang, but disappearing in an instant under the merciless devouring.
"Hun Miesheng, didn't expect you to touch the threshold of a five-star Dou Saint!" Though his attack was blocked, the Pill Tower Ancestor remained calm, lightly saying.
"A five-star Dou Saint..." The Pill Tower Ancestor's words left countless people in shock. The Soul Palace Master nearing the five-star Dou Saint level spelled disaster for most of the Central Plains.
"I won't waste words with you. Recently, my Soul Palace's branches were destroyed by your Pill Tower. Hand over the culprits and the Three Thousand Burning Flame as compensation, and I'll withdraw," Hun Miesheng said indifferently, staring at the Pill Tower Ancestor.
"In your dreams!"
"The Pill Tower never attacked your branches. You're falsely accusing us!"
"Ancestor, we can't agree to this. We'd rather have a fight to the death!"
Hun Miesheng's words instantly riled up the Pill Tower members, who glared at him angrily.
"Humph, I'll capture you and let the Four Demon Saints come to claim you!" Though rare, Hun Miesheng's words angered even the Pill Tower Ancestor, his aged voice seething with rage.
The aura of a six-star Dou Saint erupted, shaking the surrounding space.
"Hehe, if the Four Demon Saints of my clan appeared, old monster, would you still dare show up?" A mocking voice suddenly rang out, drawing every eye.
An old figure, ghost-like and holding a staff, appeared silently in front of Hun Miesheng. As everyone stared, not a single person noticed his presence until he was there.
As the figure appeared, a skeletal hand formed a fist and struck towards the Pill Tower members furiously.
Seeing this, the Pill Tower Ancestor spat out a radiant golden light that expanded into a massive screen covering the sky.
Boom!
The terrifying fist strength struck the golden screen, and the resulting shockwave instantly shattered the nearby space into black nothingness.
The space around them shattered completely under the duo's clash.
"Hun Qianmo, it's you!" Seeing the old figure with a staff, the Pill Tower Ancestor's face grew serious. His small face solemnly said, "Are you Soul Clan truly ignoring the ancient agreement between races?"
"Hehe, a group of useless people. Do they dare question me in my Soul Clan?" Hun Qianmo smirked dismissively at the Pill Tower Ancestor.
No more than harmless verbal scolding at most.
"Am I right?" His statement silenced the Pill Tower Ancestor. Hun Qianmo's gaze then shifted to a distant void, sneering, "Clan members of the Gu Clan!"
Boom—
Hun Qianmo's words drew everyone's attention. In the void, several disheveled figures fell out.
It was Elder Tongxuan, Gu Qingyang, and others who'd come to witness the battle.
Elder Tongxuan, wary, stood before the Gu Clan juniors, who were too terrified to breathe. No one expected such massive interventions in what they thought was a minor skirmish.
"People of the Gu Clan!" The Pill Tower Great Elder gasped, surprised that even the Gu Clan got involved. But... they were too weak!
"Hun Qianmo, does your Soul Clan truly intend to break the pact among the Great Clans?" Elder Tongxuan guardedly faced Hun Qianmo, his expression darkened with intense fear in his eyes.
"Pact?" Hun Qianmo smirked, sneering, "Such words might concern me if spoken by Gu Dao. But from a mere Half-Saint like you? The Gu Clan merely reaped victory's spoils from my clan. A bunch deluding themselves as the strongest empire. If you want to question me, let Gu Dao come to the Soul Realm!"
Ignoring the gloomy Gu Clan members, Hun Qianmo turned to the Pill Tower Ancestor coldly, "Move aside. I only seek the culprits who destroyed my branches and the Three Thousand Burning Flame."
"Heh, do you even believe your words?" The Pill Tower Ancestor retorted sarcastically.
"Old man, opposing my Soul Clan leads to annihilation, as strong as Xiao Xuan was, his clan was destroyed. Your Pill Tower won't fare better."
Hun Qianmo's eyes gleamed eerily as his voice turned ethereal, making him seem ghostly.
Seeing this, the Pill Tower Ancestor's face grew stern. Addressing the Gu Clan members, he said, "We request the Gu Clan's aid. The Pill Tower will repay you greatly!"
"Old man, placing hope in those Gu Clan weaklings? Xiao Clan's fate will be yours soon," Hun Qianmo suddenly appeared above the Pill Tower Ancestor. His hand raised, causing intense spatial disturbance, constructing a chaotic space that he smashed downwards.
"Dan Rong Tian!"
The Pill Tower Ancestor raised a finger, releasing blue blood from his pores, with traces of gold visible in the intense blue.
The blue blood swiftly flew towards the chaotic space, in mere breaths expanding into a hundred-foot blue beam. The scent-rich beam zipped through the sky, smashing into it.
Blue light spread, and the chaotic space exploded.
Boom—
Within the chaotic space, the Pill Tower Ancestor and Hun Qianmo began their fiery clash. Their rapid battle unleashed devastating power with every move.
The overwhelming energy waves, even through layers of space, induced chest-tightening thumping.
Watching the battling Ancestor and Hun Qianmo, the Pill Tower members grew anxious, looking at the Soul Palace members led by Hun Miesheng, feeling a cloud of dread.
"If your Gu Clan won't help, stand aside, or don't blame me for being merciless!" Hun Miesheng smiled at the Pill Tower members as if they were lambs for the slaughter, then turned to the Gu Clan juniors, sneering.
"You—" Ancient Demon and the young warriors burned with rage at Hun Miesheng's mockery of their proud clan.
"Hun Miesheng, you disregard the Empire Pact, my Gu Clan will not stand by!" Surprised, Hun Miesheng saw it wasn't Elder Tongxuan reacting, but the solemn Gu Qingyang.
Gu Qingyang grasped a shining silver jade token and shattered it.
Ancient Qingyang knew, if the Pill Tower fell to the Soul Palace, the entire continent would lack someone to oppose the Soul Clan. Soul Clan power would further inflate, endangering the Gu Clan.
Plus, with the Gu Clan having few alchemists, the Pill Tower, one of the two largest alchemical institutions, was crucial. Its fall would impact internal pill supply.
Thus, he couldn't let the Pill Tower collapse.
Surprised, Hun Miesheng saw Ancient Qingyang's fearless eyes, chuckling, "Didn't expect someone like you in the Gu Clan. Unfortunately, you're doomed not to lead the Gu Clan, or my Soul Clan would worry."
When the token shattered, powerful spatial energy surged, opening a space crack beside Ancient Qingyang. An elder, in blue robes and white hair, always with a warm smile, emerged.
The elder's genial appearance hid sharpness of which made Hun Miesheng wary.
"Great Elder of the South Sea." The Gu Clan members immediately sighed in relief, respectfully greeting him.
Scanning the outer battlefield, the elder's pupils constricted, face darkening as he sternly addressed Hun Miesheng, "What is your Soul Clan doing? Five-star Dou Saints shouldn't interfere in continent conflicts. Violate the agreement, and war with the Six Great Empires is inevitable?"
"Old man, stop with the grandstanding. The Gu Clan can't speak for all Empires. Some matters your Gu Clan should best stay out of, or..." Hun Miesheng coldly gazed at the elder.
"Humph!" The elder, coldly snorting, rebuked, "Hun Miesheng, you lack the power."
"If not him, then how about me?" A sinister laugh sounded. Soul Demon Elder ghostly emerged from the void, piercing the void with one hand, attacking the elder. (Chapter ends)
