“The Dao Patterns there have been activated.”
In an instant, Xuanji Holy Lord’s figure gracefully ascended, transforming into a streak of light that shot towards the activated Dao Patterns. If she could only consume the Ancient Great Medicine, she would be able to suppress the Eerie Power and Ominous Power within her body. At that point, she would directly step into the Above Emperor Realm Area. There lay the Opportunity to Attain Dao Supreme! In this life, her time was running out. Failure to Attain Dao Supreme meant Form and Spirit Destroyed!
Xuanji Holy Lord’s eyes flickered with fierce resolve, her speed surging once more. Divine Radiance surged beneath her jade feet, and wherever she passed, the void cracked, space twisted, drawing many Great Emperors to pause and investigate.
Everyone sighed with emotion.
“The two forbidden powers on Xuanji Holy Lord are growing increasingly potent.”
“For some time now, Xuanji Holy Lord has been searching for Ancient Great Medicine, but it seems she hasn’t found any.”
“She is already facing the ultimate trial of life and death!”
In the Below Emperor Realm Area.
Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen had already arrived at the Boundary Wall. Here, Divine Radiance surged, like a heavenly curtain dividing two worlds. The Boundary Wall was thin, as if it could be gently pierced, yet upon it flowed rich ‘Dao’ and ‘Rhyme,’ with complex and obscure Rule Power constantly evolving.
Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen’s eyes shone brightly, a flicker of excitement stirring in their hearts.
Ye Chen, smiling, said, “I wonder if we’ll see Master in the Emperor Realm Area?”
Ji Fuyao tilted her snow-white neck slightly. “Master should be waiting for us.”
With that, the two stepped into the Boundary Wall, one after the other.
Boom!
An incomparably profound power enveloped Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen. The heaven-reaching Power of Spatial Array Patterns surged, causing them to feel a dizzying disorientation. Brilliant Divine Radiance flowed like a river of stars, and as far as their eyes could see, all was a Heaven and Earth Anomaly born from the evolution of Rule Power.
Before long.
The two were flung out by an immense force, landing in an Ancient Sect Ruins. Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen felt a moment of disorientation, looking around. The next instant, their expressions subtly shifted. They had landed in a Spirit Herb Garden, where the Ancient Formation had been torn open, leaving a gaping hole, its Formation Patterns steadily fading. But beyond the Ancient Formation, several High-star Great Emperors of the Demon Race were approaching through the air, their killing intent soaring to the heavens! Terrifying Emperor Realm pressure, absolute and peerless, crushed down upon this corner of the world like a tidal wave. The Demon Race’s Blood Essence Power surged, and even from a distance, one could hear the thunderous rumble within their bodies.
Ye Chen frowned slightly. “Is our luck really this bad?”
Ji Fuyao’s expression grew solemn. Her slender jade hand reached out, directly summoning her Ultimate Emperor Weapon. With a thunderous roar, the weapon’s might, deep as an abyss and vast as the sea, surged outwards, wildly engulfing the surroundings.
Just then, the jade pendant on Ye Chen’s chest suddenly flickered, and Yao Yan’s voice emerged.
“Chen’er, there’s the aura of an Ancient Great Medicine here!”
Hearing this, Ye Chen immediately scanned his surroundings. Soon, in the deepest part of the Spirit Herb Garden, he spotted an Ancient Great Medicine brimming with vitality. The Ancient Great Medicine, imbued with sentience, concealed its true form. On the surface, it appeared as withered and lifeless as the other spiritual herbs in the garden, yet it could not escape the detection methods of an alchemist. This was an Ancient Great Medicine resembling a white lotus, motionless, as if eternally unchanged, blooming upon the earth. At first glance, it seemed unremarkable, but the more Ye Chen looked, the more his heart trembled. The white lotus became incomparably sacred, with ‘Dao’ and ‘Rhyme’ flowing across its surface, like a white sovereign enthroned upon the earth. Suddenly, it shot out a divine ray that directly surged into Ye Chen’s glabella.
In that instant, Ye Chen’s eyes suddenly turned crimson.
Yao Yan shouted, “Wake up!”
But it was too late! The power of the Ancient Great Medicine had already seized control of Ye Chen. He felt golden light flood his Sea of Divine Sense—the power of the Ancient Great Medicine—while his own will was like gazing at the starry sky, a mere drop in the ocean, utterly insignificant. “Desolate! Heaven! Art!” Ye Chen’s consciousness struggled, but it was like an ant trying to shake a tree, utterly unable to move it!
Boom!
Spiritual energy surged from Ye Chen like a storm. Behind him, his Martial Dao Smelting Furnace suddenly manifested, blazing with incomparable intensity, like a golden giant sun slowly rising. He soared into the sky, his white robes billowing, and directly summoned the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron.
Yao Yan secretly cried out, “This is bad!” This Ancient Great Medicine has likely long since developed sentience. Those High-star Great Emperors outside the formation must have come for this very Ancient Great Medicine. With the Ancient Defensive Formation broken, it was no coincidence that Ye Chen and Ji Fuyao were teleported here. Now, the Ancient Great Medicine intended to control Ye Chen and Ji Fuyao to fight!
Yao Yan extended his Divine Sense. He saw a pile of stark white bones around the Ancient Great Medicine, with bloodstains still fresh upon them. It seemed it had already devoured many Great Emperors. Anxious, Yao Yan tried to forcibly awaken Ye Chen, but from within Ye Chen’s Sea of Divine Sense, a golden power surged out, directly injuring his Residual Soul. This Ancient Great Medicine had achieved sentience, and its power far surpassed his own! The next instant, Yao Yan was directly sealed by a golden power and forcibly pulled from the jade pendant on Ye Chen’s chest.
In mere moments.
Yao Yan, too, lost his reason, rising into the air to stand beside Ye Chen in his Residual Soul form.
On the other side, Ji Fuyao’s eyes also turned incomparably crimson. Her fiery red dress billowed as she held the Ultimate Emperor Weapon, Howling Heaven. Divine Radiance surged around her, and with a thought, a towering Sea of Spirit Fire manifested around her.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the distance, several High-star Great Emperors of the Demon Race suddenly descended. They paused, slightly stunned, then burst into raucous laughter. A Giant Crocodile Demon Race member’s eyes gleamed. “This will be a bountiful harvest indeed! Not only can we claim an Ancient Great Medicine, but we can also capture Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen! The Demon Court’s esteemed elders will surely reward us handsomely.”
Beside him, a Grey-robed Elder (Demon Race) with a sinister expression glanced over. “Send a Transmission Jade Slip to the Giant Crocodile Old Ancestor. This Ancient Great Medicine is eerie; it has achieved sentience. We might not be able to take it!”
Hearing this, a Demon Race Great Emperor took out a Transmission Jade Slip and began contacting the Giant Crocodile Old Ancestor.
Just then.
Ji Fuyao and the other two directly soared into the sky, charging towards the High-star Great Emperors of the Demon Race with murderous intent.
The Grey-robed Elder (Demon Race) scoffed. “Ji Fuyao, your luck is truly terrible. To be controlled by an Ancient Great Medicine—it seems we’ll have to rescue you!”
As his voice fell!
The several Demon Race members surged with heaven-reaching demonic power. With a sweep of their sleeves, their overwhelming might, capable of swallowing the eight directions, crashed down upon Ji Fuyao and the other two like a mighty river.
Whoosh!
Three divine rays shot from the Ancient Great Medicine, directly merging into the bodies of Ji Fuyao and the other two. Instantly, the aura of Ji Fuyao and the other two surged explosively!
Ji Fuyao, wielding her Ultimate Emperor Weapon, Howling Heaven, instantly broke through two layers of seals. The long spear, Howling Heaven, became like a crimson coiled dragon, its weapon spirit roaring furiously, an boundless, violent aura surging forth like a churning ocean. With a single sweep of her spear! Swoosh! The spear light, like a crimson bolt of lightning, streaked across the void. The spear’s edge, spanning thousands of feet, left a Five-star Great Emperor utterly unable to evade, instantly suffering an Instant Decapitation (Spear)! The massive head flew directly away, and a scarlet rain of blood sprayed across the void!
Instant Kill!
Witnessing this scene, the numerous Demon Race members were utterly dumbfounded.
