The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1887: Chapter 1984: Ready to Stir

"You are delusional!" Fang Qingye shouted, his brows filled with murderous intent, a sight of the wrathful martial sovereign that the world has never seen.

Mo Shouhe thrust out a palm, leading to countless palm impressions overwhelming the sky towards Fang Qingye, each one capable of easily annihilating a strong practitioner. This alone was enough to prove that Mo Shouhe’s power wasn’t affected by the issue of longevity.

Fang Qingye flicked his finger, a razor-sharp beam pierced through the numerous palm impressions, arriving directly in front of Mo Shouhe.

Bam!

Mo Shouhe punched out, colliding with the finger beam, creating a dull sound of impact. The finger beam suddenly dissipated, while Mo Shouhe’s figure slightly wavered.

Ignoring the terrifying palm strikes coming at him, Fang Qingye vanished in a flash, reappearing behind Mo Shouhe with a hand reaching directly for Mo Shouhe’s back.

Yet Mo Shouhe also vanished instantly, and as Fang Qingye’s palm struck empty air, a black vortex had already appeared behind him.

"Fighting me, you still have much to learn, Fang Qingye," Mo Shouhe’s cold voice echoed from the black vortex with a hint of disdain.

Fang Qingye said nothing, turning back and pointing, the blue light transforming into the form of a Divine Phoenix, letting out a clear cry, colliding directly with the black vortex.

No sound was emitted, the blue Divine Phoenix plunged into the black vortex, and Mo Shouhe’s figure reappeared ten steps away from Fang Qingye.

With a shift of his feet, multiple figures of Fang Qingye dispersed, filling the depths of the firmament with his image. Each one was real, not merely an illusion.

Mo Shouhe sneered repeatedly, with a wave of his hand, the cosmic purple flame filled the air, enveloping all of Fang Qingye’s clones in purple fire.

Though powerful, the clones were still merely clones, and under the burning of the purple fire, they continued to disappear.

Fang Qingye showed no surprise, well aware of Mo Shouhe’s techniques. Over the years, they had clashed numerous times, albeit pulling their punches, but their understanding of each other was unparalleled.

As long as neither of them was desperate, neither could do anything to the other, but dragging it out would definitely benefit Fang Qingye. After all, Mo Shouhe’s biggest issue was his longevity, and such prolonged combat was increasingly disadvantageous for him.

However, this time, Mo Shouhe was uncharacteristically going all out, almost fighting Fang Qingye with a self-destructive mentality.

Thus, Fang Qingye also had to exhibit his true strength, or he would fall behind, suppressed by Mo Shouhe.

Their several frontal confrontations ended evenly, but Fang Qingye’s goal was already achieved—preventing Mo Shouhe from seizing the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill was enough; he didn’t need to settle a score with him here.

Besides, even if Fang Qingye was confident he could kill Mo Shouhe, the old fellow would surely escape when things went south. Once Mo Shouhe was determined to flee, Fang Qingye couldn’t possibly keep him here.

Similarly, even if Mo Shouhe could defeat Fang Qingye, he couldn’t kill him. If he forced Fang Qingye into a corner, Mo Shouhe himself would certainly perish too.

But now, both Fang Qingye and Mo Shouhe were clashing with true strength, entirely with no intention of holding back.

Fang Qingye aimed to prevent Mo Shouhe from having a chance to snatch the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill, while Mo Shouhe, naturally, was doing everything to obtain the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill.

To Mo Shouhe, the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill was extremely important, so even if it meant exhausting his already limited lifespan, he intended to get his hands on it.

Having the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill would render his exhausted lifespan irrelevant, for Mo Shouhe was fundamentally just an incarnation of an Ancient Spirit, destined to return to the Ancient Spirit within Mountain Tu, becoming one with it.

Thus, Mo Shouhe had come to snatch the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill with the willingness to stake his life, naturally fearless of Fang Qingye.

The confrontation between these two martial lords was something ordinary martial artists couldn’t even imagine. If they hadn’t chosen to fight in the depths of the firmament, just the force of their exchanges would be sufficient to obliterate the Pill Saint Palace and several nearby factions.

Even so, the people within the Pill Saint Palace could still feel the terrifying aura emanating from the firmament’s depths. Even Heaven’s Mandate strong practitioners shivered internally, guessing that a supreme battle was occurring beyond their sight.

However, this was not something they could meddle in, and curiosity was useless, as rashly flying up would only lead to death.

The thunderclouds hadn’t dissipated, and after the silver giant hand appeared once, it had not emerged again. Instead, the number of silver thunder dragons increased, each twisting its body as they charged down towards the Pill Saint Palace.

"Strike!" The Great Elder shouted angrily, charging out first with double swords in hand, slashing down two silver thunder dragons with a swing.

The other Heaven’s Mandate strong practitioners also made their moves, grouping around the Great Elder, while the strong practitioners from Emperor Bai City banded together, avoiding foolish solo combat.

Though all were top experts in the Heaven’s Mandate realm, what they faced this time was far from ordinary—it was the heavenly punishment for a Transcendental Elixir being brought forth. Even peak experts attuned to the heavenly cycles couldn’t guarantee survival.

Only by working together did they have a better chance of withstanding all the heavenly punishments.

The number of silver thunder dragons was vast, and more seemed to be constantly condensing within the black clouds. Each silver thunder dragon held immensely powerful heavenly thunder, and even after slaying a silver thunder dragon, the thunderous power would spread everywhere, imposing considerable pressure on the Heaven’s Mandate strong practitioners present.

The Old Palace Master did not make a move, vigilant for unexpected occurrences from another location—Ancient Demon Ridge!

With such a commotion, the Demon Beast clan might very well get involved, for a Transcendental Elixir was at stake. If the Old Demon Saint recklessly brought demon clan experts to seize it, that would be extremely troublesome.

Despite the Old Demon Saint being aged and weary, if he disregarded his own life, he was still exceedingly dangerous. The Old Palace Master knew that against the Old Demon Saint, his chances of victory were less than thirty percent.

Fortunately, besides him, Bai Qingxue was personally overseeing the Pill Saint Palace. If the Old Demon Saint indeed came recklessly, Bai Qingxue would definitely strike him down here.

The Old Palace Master’s concerns were justified, as Ancient Demon Ridge already stirred with unrest, aiming to seize the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill.
