The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1947: Chapter 2044: The Supreme Body Reappears

"Do you really think a mere wretch like you can lay claim to my treasure?"

Zhang Kuang’s voice rang out, and Hou Yi, bathed in golden light, burst out from the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, laughing as he shot forth a punch.

The Hidden Kill Hall Master’s face changed abruptly. He had always suspected whether Hou Yi was truly dead, and now seeing this, Hou Yi really was still alive.

Faced with Hou Yi’s incredibly fierce punch, the Hidden Kill Hall Master could not dodge and could only strike with his palm to meet it.

Boom!!!

The clash between these two peerless powerhouses caused the entire sky to change color, with nine great suns cascading limitless brilliance, seemingly trying to suppress Hou Yi.

"Do you think such meager light can suppress me? It seems the lesson I gave you back then wasn’t enough." Hou Yi paid no mind to the light of the nine great suns, and in a flash, he caught the white light flying out from the Nine-Colored Deer’s body.

The moment the white light touched his hand, it transformed into a treasure bow, composed of gray-white dragon bones and sinew, not at all ornate but exuding overwhelming menace, with dragon roars echoing.

In this world, only Martial Lord Hou Yi could wield the Dragon Bones Bow, and only in his hands could it unleash the power to kill gods with its divine might.

"Oh no!" When the Hidden Kill Hall Master saw the Dragon Bones Bow fall into Hou Yi’s hands, his heart skipped a beat, and a sense of crisis arose spontaneously, just like when he faced Hou Yi in his prime.

Although countless years have passed, the sense of crisis remains nearly unchanged when he once again confronts Hou Yi.

With the Dragon Bones Bow in hand, the most panic-stricken were undoubtedly the nine great suns hanging in the sky, which had once been shot down by Hou Yi’s immeasurable might using the Dragon Bones Bow, suffering severe injury. Now, Hou Yi reappears, and the Dragon Bones Bow returns to his hands, naturally frightening them that the events of the past might happen again.

The Nine-Colored Deer’s corpse fell, and there was a hint of melancholy on Hou Yi’s face. However, he smiled and said, "You old fellow, if I had known you were so stubborn, I wouldn’t have asked you to guard the Dragon Bones Bow for me, leading to your current fate."

Although he said this, Hou Yi still reached out to catch the Nine-Colored Deer’s body, letting it gently fall into the Ancient Demon Ridge.

As for Qi Liansheng and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, they too returned to the Ancient Demon Ridge. At this point, there was nothing more for them to do, and staying here would serve no purpose.

At this moment, the Hidden Kill Hall Master realized that Hou Yi was not in the same peak state as back then. He was merely a remnant soul, and even that depended on the power of the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree to manifest; otherwise, he couldn’t exist in the world at all.

Realizing this, the Hidden Kill Hall Master felt much more at ease. He indeed dreaded that Hou Yi from the past, and every time he remembered fighting Hou Yi, his chest would faintly ache.

But now, with Hou Yi as only a remnant soul, though he had the Dragon Bones Bow, the threat was certainly far less than it was back then.

"You’re just a struggling remnant soul; do you really think you can stop us like before?" the Hidden Kill Hall Master said coldly to Hou Yi.

Hou Yi looked at the Hidden Kill Hall Master with disdain and laughed: "A defeated foe, that’s all you are. I remember clearly how you fled in a panic. I wonder if you remember it yourself?"

The Hidden Kill Hall Master’s face showed a trace of annoyance. He had indeed lost to Hou Yi in their final battle back then, ending up fleeing in disgrace. If Hou Yi hadn’t needed to shoot down the nine suns to save the world, he probably couldn’t have escaped.

Now, hearing Hou Yi bring up the past, the Hidden Kill Hall Master’s heart naturally filled with anger, eager to tear Hou Yi’s remnant soul to pieces.

"A moment’s victory or defeat is meaningless, but now you’re the loser, without even a complete body; I’m confident I can obliterate you with a snap of my fingers." The Hidden Kill Hall Master said, likewise tauntingly.

Hou Yi, caressing the Dragon Bones Bow in his hand, seemed utterly indifferent to the Hall Master’s words.

"Since you’ve shown yourself, let’s finish this once and for all. It’s time to put an end to our past battle." The Hidden Kill Hall Master said, pointing at Hou Yi.

Hou Yi sneered, with a wave of his hand dismissing the Hall Master’s finger attack.

This seemingly nonchalant action made the Hall Master’s heart skip a beat. He couldn’t believe that Hou Yi now possessed the same terrifying power as before, but it seemed that even as a remnant soul, Hou Yi wouldn’t be easily dealt with.

After all, even a dying camel is still bigger than a horse. No matter how downtrodden, the Martial Arts Supreme is never below par.

"No need to hurry, since I dared to appear, I’m not here to do nothing. I’ll deal with both you and those nine three-legged mongrel birds in the sky." Hou Yi spoke nonchalantly.

"You’re too arrogant!" The Hidden Kill Hall Master shouted coldly as he attacked again, while Hou Yi wore a strange smile.

"All these years, that foolish being of the first generation only understood borrowing the power of the Sacred Tree, without knowing the true power of the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree." As Hou Yi spoke, the golden light around him fully absorbed into his body.

Moreover, an even more astonishing change was occurring simultaneously.

Outside Hou Yi’s remnant soul, a flesh and blood body was materializing, with every inch of flesh, every inch of sinew and bone growing at a visible speed.

This scene caused the Hidden Kill Hall Master to change color instantly, somewhat in disbelief.

"This is impossible!" The Hidden Kill Hall Master yelled angrily, unable to watch Hou Yi restore his physical body, and tried to stop it directly.

Hou Yi laughed, and even though his body had not completely recovered, he punched directly.

Bang!!!

A muffled sound, and the Hidden Kill Hall Master’s body shook violently, unable to withstand the force of Hou Yi’s strike, retreating repeatedly.

In contrast, Hou Yi stood unmoved in place, his body about eighty percent restored, his energy and strength even greater.

"How can you restore your body? Even with an incomplete soul, you definitely can’t restore your physical body!" The Hidden Kill Hall Master gritted his teeth, his eyes practically bulging.

Hou Yi shook his head: "The Ancient Spirit Incarnations are ultimately too confident in their own power. On that Eternal Divine Mountain, it’s not just the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu, but also the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, whose mysteries are not easy to fathom."

The Hidden Kill Hall Master stared fixedly at Hou Yi and attacked again.

And in the sky, the nine great suns emitted sharp, high-pitched cries, with the scorching skyfire falling unboundedly.

Moreover, within the Seven Seas, colossal demon beasts were also advancing towards the land of the Nine Countries, seemingly sensing Hou Yi’s threat, preparing to use all their power to destroy Hou Yi.

Only the umbrella-holder, seated calmly on the clouds, did not intervene in these matters, only showing a hint of sadness in his eyes as he looked upon Hou Yi.

"You have sacrificed too much for the beings of the world."
