79.21% Battle Through the Heavens: Harmony of Flame and Shadow / Chapter 221: Chapter 227. Escaping!

Capítulo 221: Chapter 227. Escaping!

"Heh heh, I'm just afraid you'll have the life to obtain it, but not the life to use it!" Suddenly, a cold voice echoed in the ears of the three people. Zhu Kun, with an icy expression, slowly approached them.

"Want the embryonic form of the Emperor Pill?"

Hun Tiandi wiped away a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth and turned his head to look at the dazzling orb of light within the Alchemy Formation. The light orb looked like a galaxy, absorbing all the energy from heaven and earth.

Staring at the dazzling light orb, a strange smile lifted the corners of Hun Tiandi's lips.

"Boom——"

A thunderous explosion echoed throughout the Dou Qi continent from a distant plane.

Everyone engaged in the great battle within the Ancient Emperor's cave mansion instinctively raised their heads, their expressions changing drastically as they saw a pillar of light shooting into the sky, tearing a massive rift in the heavens.

Outside the void, countless black meteors, filled with destructive light, descended from the sky.

A monstrous demonic aura descended upon them.

"Boom!"

Countless comet-like gleams fell heavily onto the mountain ranges, destroying them in their entirety with their aftershocks.

"What is that?"

"Heavenly phenomena, could it be the emergence of some exotic treasure?"

The massive commotion attracted the local inhabitants; greed sparkled in some eyes as they headed for the spot where the meteors fell.

"Jie Jie Jie, such impatient ants from the lower plane, rushing to their deaths?"

However, just as they moved, a chilling voice rang out. Space twisted, and a dark demonic claw emerged out of nowhere, instantly seizing a figure in its grasp.

Bang!

Before they could even resist, the demon claw squeezed, shattering space and spraying blood everywhere.

The latecomers to the scene were horrified at the sight, their eyes nearly popping out. Terrified by the horrifying aura emanating from the demon shadow, they screamed and fled, leaving nothing but afterimages.

This was no enticing exotic treasure, but a death trap.

"Fresh blood, do you think you can escape our grasp?" The demon shadow smiled cruelly. Because of his words, eerie laughter filled the air behind him.

"Minions, destroy to your heart's content."

"For the glory of our clan, stain this land with our essence."

"Jie Jie Jie, such a filthy world should bear our clan's colors; let us purify them."

Sharp, wanton laughter rang out. Across this land, countless beams of demonic light flickered, and shadows began to flood towards the distance.

Thud.

Suddenly, heaven and earth seemed to tremble. At the horizon, a black line emerged, rapidly expanding. Within minutes, it turned into an endless sea of people, surrounding the Dou Qi continent.

In mere minutes, the extraterritorial demon race had taught the people of Dou Qi continent a bloody lesson.

The extraterritorial demon race had been fighting with the people of the Great Thousand World for ages, their energy cultivation similar but fundamentally suppressive to those from lower planes.

Even though the plane's spirit initiated a frenzied suppression right after they entered, the demons were still fiercely and crazily relentless, their horde sweeping forward like a locust plague.

In no time, the northern continent of Dou Qi had fallen entirely. Everywhere on this broad land, brutal wars erupted, demonic shadows whistled, and divine lights flashed, reminiscent of a grand fireworks display in the sky.

However, those magnificent fireworks were forged in blood.

The people of the northern continent mounted fierce resistance, but could not stop the slaughter because the top experts of Dou Qi were gathered in the Ancient Emperor's cave mansion, leaving no equal powers to counter the invasion.

The battle line advanced rapidly. Were you to look down from high above, you'd see they were moving at an alarming speed towards the Central Plains.

"The extraterritorial demon race has begun their attack!!!"

"How can it be? Did Xiao Yan not say there was still half a month left? Even if today were to count, we're only halfway through! How is this happening!"

"This is the might of the extraterritorial demon race? So brutal. Can we really fend them off?"

Inside the Ancient Emperor's cave mansion, people used their own methods to observe the situation on Dou Qi continent, showing shock, fear, and confusion.

"Gu Yuan, Zhu Kun, are you still going to keep fighting?" Seeing the overwhelming demonic shadows, a flash of surprise left Hun Tiandi's eyes, then he tightly grasped the embryonic Emperor Pill in his palm and said in a deep voice, "You both understand the current situation. The demon race is powerful. No matter what, I am still a person of the Dou Qi continent. Now the embryonic Emperor Pill is in my hands. Let me become the Emperor. Otherwise, we won't survive this calamity!"

Hearing Hun Tiandi's words, Gu Yuan couldn't help but laugh coldly, "Do you think you'll spare us once you become the Emperor?"

"Why bother with so much nonsense? You becoming the Emperor can save Dou Qi continent from this crisis; I becoming the Emperor can also lead Dou Qi continent through this crisis. Why should I put my hopes in you?"

"Hand over the embryonic Emperor Pill——"

As Gu Yuan finished speaking, Zhu Kun impatiently laughed coldly. In the next moment, he turned into a shadow and lunged towards Hun Tiandi.

Seeing Zhu Kun's movement, Gu Yuan didn't back down, tiptoeing forward to attack Hun Tiandi as well.

Seeing this, Void Swallowing Flame and the four demon saints of the Hun clan became extremely vigilant.

"Jie Jie"

"You forced me into this!" Seeing this, a strange smile appeared on Hun Tiandi's face. He stared at the dazzling light orb in his palm, sighed with regret, and said, "Nothing can ever be perfect. I had hoped to fully refine the Emperor Pill and use it for my perfect breakthrough. But now, it seems that's impossible."

"However…"

"Xiao Xuan, in this struggle, I ultimately win. You are no match for me!"

"Hahaha——"

Hun Tiandi laughed maniacally. In the next moment, to everyone's shock, he opened his mouth wide and swallowed the dazzling light orb just as Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun rushed forward!

Just like that, Hun Tiandi swallowed the embryonic Emperor Pill without any preparation.

Medicines above the ninth rank usually require supplementary drugs due to their vast energy to aid in their refining. The difference between a ninth rank pill and an Emperor Pill is like heaven and earth; the ninth rank pills need such measures, even more so for an Emperor Pill. This was why Hun Tiandi's actions shocked everyone.

Swallowing such an Emperor Pill without refinement was courting death!

"He's gone mad."

Zhu Kun, who had instantly moved over, twitched the corner of his eye at this sight, murmuring to himself.

Although this was only an embryonic form of an Emperor Pill, the energy contained within was terrifying to the extreme. If not handled carefully, it could burst one's body and even soul.

Hun Tiandi's desperate measures truly displayed a diehard attitude!

It wasn't until this moment that Zhu Kun, for the first time, regarded Hun Tiandi, this peerless tyrant, seriously.

Hun Tiandi's sudden action caught everyone off guard. Even Void Swallowing Flame, standing behind him, had a change in expression, eyes darkening slightly. Who wouldn't want an Emperor Pill? However, he didn't expect Hun Tiandi to recklessly swallow it…

"Scoundrel!"

Witnessing this, Gu Yuan's expression darkened, eyes filled with intense killing intent, he shouted coldly, "Hun Tiandi, you seek death!"

"Haha, seeking death? Not necessarily!"

Hearing this, Hun Tiandi laughed wildly, a strange smile on his face. At this moment, brilliant lights started emanating from his body. The injuries inflicted by Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun just moments ago were all healed in an instant, and an overwhelming energy pulsated from within him.

Feeling his sudden surge in power, Gu Yuan's expression changed dramatically.

"This is just a temporary burst from the Emperor Pill; I want to see if you explode first or if I fall first!" Zhu Kun's eyes flashed but remained calm, speaking in a deep voice.

Almost immediately, with just a thought, Zhu Kun shot across the sky towards Hun Tiandi.

"Haha, the current you is no match for me!" Seeing Zhu Kun charge, Hun Tiandi fearlessly laughed. Clenching his fists, he slammed them forward.

"Boom!"

With Hun Tiandi's punch, the sky was torn open, creating two enormous vacuum zones.

Sensing the suddenly intensified power, Zhu Kun's expression remained unchanged, his palm suffused with an azure glow, countering Hun Tiandi's attack head-on.

"Boom——"

The thunderous blasts echoed across the sky.

The terrifying destructive storm exploded between their fists, forcing both back hundreds of meters.

Witnessing this, Gu Yuan's face darkened. Not just because of Hun Tiandi's surge in strength from the Emperor Pill, but also because Zhu Kun still had hidden techniques.

"Void, retreat!"

Seeing that Zhu Kun could still resist his attacks and with Gu Yuan watching for an opportunity, Hun Tiandi's previously calm demeanor vanished. He ordered Void Swallowing Flame beside him.

"Think you can just leave?!"

Seizing the opportunity, Gu Yuan launched an attack, pouring his torrential Dou Qi towards Hun Tiandi.

However, facing Gu Yuan's assault, Hun Tiandi merely waved his arm, easily deflecting it.

Then, Hun Tiandi slashed the space beside him, revealing a spatial crack.

"Boom boom boom!"

Seeing this time, Gu Yuan intensified his attacks, causing waves of destructive Dou Qi to crash against Hun Tiandi's defenses, creating ripples.

Ignoring it, Hun Tiandi grabbed the surrounding Hun clan experts and hurled them into the spatial crack.

"Gu Yuan, I still won this battle," he sneered. After repelling Gu Yuan with a palm strike, he scanned the crowd and menacingly proclaimed, "Once I fully refine the Emperor Pill, it will be the end of the Gu Clan, Lei Clan, Yao Clan, and Ancient Dragon Clan."

Hearing Hun Tiandi's words, the crowd's expressions turned grim.

"Oh, and I will handle Dou Qi continent's crisis; it's my homeland too, and I want to save it from falling into foreign hands. That's it."

With that, Hun Tiandi grabbed Void Swallowing Flame and shot towards the spatial crack. Seeing this, Void Swallowing Flame urgently said, "And my…"

But before he could finish, Hun Tiandi's neck split open, a mirroring realization dawning on his face, making him reluctantly plunge into the spatial crack.

"Boom——"

Watching the retreating Hun clan, the crowd launched a fierce Dou Qi attack at the spatial crack.

Unfortunately, all attacks were blocked by the now power-boosted Hun Tiandi, who paid a bloody price as his entire body fractured, turning him into a blood-soaked figure.

Yet, Hun Tiandi managed to escape with Void Swallowing Flame, vanishing from the cave mansion.

"Whiz!"

Gu Yuan swiftly reached the spatial crack, his palm pulsing with destructive energy, tearing at it, but the space just rippled without forming a crack...

"Damn it!" Seeing this, Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun's expressions darkened. The Ancient Emperor's cave mansion space was too stable, even beyond their capabilities to breach. By the time they rerouted, Hun Tiandi would be long gone.

"Useless! Always in the way!" Zhu Kun's cold voice echoed, infuriating Gu Yuan.

Zhu Kun disdainfully glanced at Gu Yuan and said, "Now this place belongs to my Ancient Dragon Clan. The rest of you, get out!"

Hearing his domineering words, the faces of the three clans and the Pill Tower group changed instantly. Though the most precious Emperor Pill was gone, many other treasures remained, like the hundreds of Heaven-rank Dou Techniques and cultivation methods.

No clan could resist such temptation.

"This place was discovered with my help; why should it belong solely to your clan?" Yao Dan, his face hard, glared at Zhu Kun. The Yao Clan was already weaker compared to the Gu and Lei clans, and the alchemists weren't strong fighters.

The battle with the Hun Clan had greatly diminished their power, and he wasn't about to let go without objection. It seemed, however, that Yao Dan had picked the wrong person to argue with. (End of the chapter.)
