The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1890: Chapter 1987: Brutal Battle

"The situation is somewhat dire!" Several thousand miles away from the Pill Saint Palace, in the sky above, the Old Demon Saint and a group of powerful figures immediately stopped, no longer approaching the Pill Saint Palace.

The Old Demon Saint’s expression was heavy as he looked at the black-robed man standing above the Pill Saint Palace, a hint of fear deep in his eyes.

Not only him, but the demon clan experts who followed the Old Demon Saint also sensed the terrifying nature of the black-robed man, realizing he was someone they couldn’t provoke.

"Do not act rashly, retreat another thousand miles." The Old Demon Saint decisively ordered, leading the demon clan experts to choose to retreat.

No one from the demon clan objected. Although they urged the Old Demon Saint to come and seize the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill, they didn’t wish to court death alongside him. Realizing the black-robed expert was not to be trifled with, they naturally wouldn’t risk trying to seize the pill now.

"I didn’t expect so many formidable adversaries to come. Our goal seems as unreachable as the sky." The Old Demon Saint frowned, his own cultivation was high, and he could naturally see the fierce clash in the sky’s depths.

The black-robed man stood above the Pill Saint Palace, suddenly looking towards the direction where the Old Demon Saint and his group were hiding, scaring them into silence, fearing the unknown black-robed expert might attack them.

Fortunately, the black-robed man merely glanced at them coldly, not intending to make a move, yet his gaze warned them: if they recklessly tried to seize, he wouldn’t mind sending them on their way first.

The Old Demon Saint’s face was very grim, naturally understanding the warning in the black-robed man’s gaze. But simply abandoning their plans was impossible.

The black-robed man no longer paid attention to the Old Demon Saint and his group, raising his hand and striking a palm down towards the Pill Saint Palace.

The power of this strike reached an unbelievable level, as if the entire sky was collapsing, enough to crush all living things.

The dozens of Heavenly Mandate experts from Emperor Bai City and the Pill Saint Palace turned pale at this sight, their eyes filled with despair.

The Great Elder turned ashen, gritting his teeth and rushing forward with twin swords in hand, ready to risk his life to block the black-robed man’s attack.

"No!" The Old Palace Master gasped, wanting to stop him but was already too late.

"All together! Stop him with all you’ve got!" The dozens of Heavenly Mandate experts, seeing the Great Elder so fearlessly determined, chose to act themselves, not wanting the Great Elder to face death alone.

The group of Heavenly Mandate experts attacked together, their momentum heaven-shocking. The black-robed man remained expressionless, his eyes exceptionally indifferent as if watching a bunch of ants in their death throes.

The black giant palm finally descended, colliding with the group of Heavenly Mandate experts. Terrible energy swept in all directions, affecting the Pill Saint Palace, causing the huge palace to fall hundreds of feet. Many pavilions were destroyed.

"Hmm?" Within the secret chamber, Fang Lin also felt the violent tremors, his expression changing, basically guessing what was happening outside.

However, at this moment, he couldn’t leave to do anything. The Life and Death Reincarnation Pill was at the final juncture, needing less than four hours to truly emerge from the furnace.

At this point, Fang Lin absolutely couldn’t leave; otherwise, the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill would be ruined, and Fang Lin himself would be severely impacted by the failed pill refining.

Suppressing his distracting thoughts, Fang Lin continued to focus entirely on the Furnace of Heaven, Earth, Sun, and Moon in front of him, watching every change inside the Pill Furnace, ignoring what was happening outside.

Outside the secret chamber, Bai Qingxue held her sword with both hands, her expression icy, not moving even a step, observing the external battle clearly but never taking action.

On one hand, whether facing Mo Shouhe or the subsequent black-robed man, Bai Qingxue couldn’t contend with them.

On the other hand, Bai Qingxue believed in her husband.

"Lin’er, mother will always guard here. Whoever wants to harm you must first step over my dead body." Bai Qingxue’s gaze was exceptionally determined, her golden longsword flashing coldly, exuding a chilling killing intent.

Thud, thud, thud!!!

Above the sky, dozens of Heavenly Mandate experts all spat blood and fell, the weaker ones already lifeless and unable to fight anymore.

The Great Elder was the most severely injured, falling from the sky almost turned into a blood man, his whole body bones broken.

The power of the black-robed man’s strike was too strong, and the Great Elder, being the first to face it, bore the brunt of the force, naturally suffering the worst injuries.

Ultimately, the black-robed man’s assault was jointly stopped by their efforts, preventing the Pill Saint Palace from being destroyed and not interrupting the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill’s refinement.

The Old Palace Master swiftly approached the Great Elder, his face tense, silently placing several pills into the Great Elder’s mouth.

But in the next moment, a look of sorrow appeared in the Old Palace Master’s eyes, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

The Great Elder barely opened his eyes, from which blood continuously flowed, his gaze dazed, unable to see clearly.

"Junior Brother!" The Old Palace Master’s voice trembled, knowing his junior brother wouldn’t last long, the injuries too severe, and his body too weak to be saved.

"Senior Brother, I am leaving ahead this time." The Great Elder said with a bitter smile, barely able to speak, but blood kept seeping from his orifices.

"Junior Brother, it’s I who failed you!" The Old Palace Master wept bitterly.

The Great Elder’s breath grew weaker, nearing his final moments, but as if a brief resurgence occurred, he had a bit of strength in his arms.

The twin swords he still held tightly were raised by the Great Elder, handed over to the Old Palace Master.

"The Pill Saint Palace cannot fall by the hands of us two!" The Great Elder roared, blood gushing from his mouth.

The Old Palace Master, looking at the twin swords handed before him, took them without the slightest hesitation.

The Great Elder smiled, an extraordinarily content smile, as if releasing years of pent-up frustration.

"Senior Brother, this time, I didn’t lose to you." The Great Elder said with a smile, as his last bit of life force dissipated.

The Old Palace Master said nothing, simply took a deep breath, and stored the Great Elder’s body away.

Standing up, the Old Palace Master seemed like a different person, consuming a blood-red pill, his aura soaring, reaching the limit of what a Heavenly Mandate expert could achieve.

"Hold him off for five breaths, and I can break free!" Hou Yi’s roar erupted, half of his body already freed from the endless darkness, but black chains constantly emerged, combined with the assault of ghostly white flames, preventing him from immediately escaping.

"Five breaths? I can end this in just one," the black-robed man sneered, looking contemptuously at the Old Palace Master below.
