Chapter 1083: Refining the Yin Yang Life Soul Pill
A dense poison fog lingered in the air of a small valley in the northern region of the Fallen G.o.d Stream. This fog made it difficult for one to clearly see the interior of the valley. If one looked from a closer spot, one would coincidentally see a couple of figures standing in it. They were Xiao Yan"s group, which had just obtained the Monster Core and the Essence Blood of the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast.
"Based on what Xin Lan has said, the Ice River Valley"s experts should have already entered the Fallen G.o.d Stream. Perhaps, they will find us quite soon…" A bonfire was burning within the valley, emitting some light from the flame as Xiao Yan voiced his thoughts.
"Yes. Moreover, there is an existence at the peak of the Dou Zong cla.s.s among those who arrived this time around." Xin Lan nodded. Her face was grave. The peak of the Dou Zong cla.s.s, a strength was even greater than that of the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast. Although Xiao Yan currently had two eight star Dou Zong beings around him, it was likely very hard for them to obtain the upper hand in such a fight. After all, the peak of the Dou Zong cla.s.s was the strongest among the experts below the Dou Zun cla.s.s.
The Little Fairy Doctor and Tian Huo zun-zhe by the side also nodded. They had a good understanding of this level. Even with Tian Hue zun-zhe"s pride, he had no choice but to admit that it was extremely difficult for him to fight an expert at the peak of the Dou Zong cla.s.s in his current condition.
"Hence, we must settle the body of old mister Yao or the Woeful Poison Body of the Little Fairy Doctor before they find us. Otherwise, it is likely that the situation will not be favorable…" Xiao Yan spoke with a serious tone.
The Little Fairy Doctor and Tian Huo zun-zhe nodded when they heard this. In this current situation, the strength of either of them would soar if they could settle their respective problems. Thus, they would have the ability to fight even when faced with an expert at the peak of the Dou Zong cla.s.s from the Ice River Valley.
"You should help old mister Yao refine a body first. He was an elite Dou Zun in the past. Even though he might not be able to quickly recover his peak strength after he obtains a body, it should not be difficult for him to advance to the Dou Zun cla.s.s. This Woeful Poison Body of mine has never been completely controlled by anyone in the past. We are not certain what will happen after it is controlled. Therefore, I suggest that old mister Yao should have the priority." The Little Fairy Doctor mused for a moment before she gave a serious suggestion.
Xiao Yan revealed an expression of deep thought after hearing the Little Fairy Doctor"s a.n.a.lysis. Helping Tian Huo zun-zhe first was indeed the safest bet.
"The Woeful Poison Body is a unique natural body. When it erupts, even an elite Dou Zun must temporarily hide from it. If you are able to control it, it is likely that your achievements will be extremely shocking." Tian Huo zun-zhe fondled his beard as he slowly spoke.
"Old mister Yao has praised me too much." The Little Fairy Doctor curled her lips and smiled.
"The Little Fairy Doctor is right. I will help old mister Yao refine a body first in order to resolve the current threat." Xiao Yan nodded and finally made his decision. He continued in a deep voice, "In that case, I will first resolve old mister Yao"s problem."
"I will now begin refining the Yin Yang Life Soul Pill. All of you must guard me during this period of time and should avoid leaving this place so you don"t attract any trouble…" Xiao Yan ceased hesitating after making up his mind. He immediately began preparing after saying he would do it. His body moved and appeared on an enormous rock in the valley. With a wave of his hand, the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron appeared and remained steadily suspended in the air.
The Little Fairy Doctor and the others nodded when they saw Xiao Yan begin to refine the pill. After which, they slowly withdrew and guarded him.
Xiao Yan waved his hand and a jade-green flame appeared. After which, it was randomly thrown into the medicinal cauldron by Xiao Yan. He rubbed his Storage Ring with his hand and numerous medicinal ingredients continuously flew out of it. Finally, all of them remained suspended in the air as well.
Xiao Yan"s eyes carefully observed these medicinal ingredients. After finding that there was no problem with them, he slowly shut his eyes. The medicinal formula of the Yin Yang Life Soul Pill slowly flowed across his mind like flowing water. The various key points regarding the refinement were being familiarized by Xiao Yan at this moment.
Xiao Yan"s eyes were opened a moment later. He gently inhaled a breath of air and moved his finger. An extremely bright and beautiful flower rushed down. However, strangely there was a person"s face at the center of the flower. Its eyes, nose and mouth were all life-like. Looking at it gave one the creeps.
"Ghostface Flower…" The name of this flower flashed across Xiao Yan"s heart. This was one of the key ingredients in refining the Yin Yang Life Soul Pill. It was extremely rare. Xiao Yan did not know just where Xin Lan had obtained it from. However, it seemed that she had put in a lot of effort to gather the ingredients.
Xiao Yan glanced at this flower that gave one the creeps. He flicked his finger and the Ghostface Flower was thrown into the medicinal cauldron. The jade-green flame swept over and wrapped around it.
"Ah!"
The Ghostface Flower had just been tossed into the flame when waves of black vapor were emitted from it. At the same time, a screeching baby cry was reverberated from the medicinal cauldron.
Xiao Yan knit his brows. He did not expect this Ghostface Flower to be this strange. However, regardless of how strange it was, it was powerless to resist a Heavenly Flame.
A thought pa.s.sed through Xiao Yan"s mind and Dou Qi covered both of his ears, isolating the baby"s cry as it did so. He clenched his hand and the flame"s temperature suddenly soared.
With the great increase in the flame"s temperature, the black vapor emitted from the interior of the Ghostface Flower swiftly became fainter. In the end, it completely disappeared. Having lost the protection of the black vapor, the Ghostface Flower immediately withered. The human face also gradually disappeared. Around ten minutes later, the flower finally burst apart and turned into a pile of dark-black powder.
Xiao Yan did not immediately withdraw the flame after the powder appeared. Instead, he grilled this pile of powder for some time until it revealed a cold l.u.s.ter. Only then did a thought pa.s.s through his mind. The cl.u.s.ter of flames wrapped around the dark-black powder and left it suspended in one corner of the medicinal cauldron.
Xiao Yan took a fist-sized red-colored fruit after having completed refining this Ghostface Flower. Wave after wave of dense, cold air poured out of the fruit.
"Soul Revival Demon Fruit… this strange fruit is really beneficial to the training of Spiritual Strength. It is likely that I need to prepare a little more of it in the future for any unexpected situations…"
Xiao Yan"s eyes swept over that red-colored fruit. He flicked his finger and threw it into the medicinal cauldron…
While Xiao Yan continued the refinement of the medicinal pill, the medicinal ingredients suspended in air were gradually thrown into the medicinal cauldron. Xiao Yan was extremely careful about refining this pill because he knew that if this Yin Yang Life Soul Pill refinement were to fail, the matter of Tian Huo zun-zhe"s revival would be delayed for a period of time. In the face of the great enemy descending upon them, they no longer had much time to squander…
The Little Fairy Doctor and the others stayed a hundred meters away while Xiao Yan was refining the pill. No one emitted the slightest sound, afraid they would disturb his pill refinement. Moreover, all the poison beasts within a thousand meter radius of the small valley were expelled or killed by the Little Fairy Doctor and Tian Huo zun-zhe through all sorts of means. They performed their roles as protectors quite well.
Time swiftly flowed by while Xiao Yan undertook a retreat to refine this pill. Two days pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye.
The area to the south of the Fallen G.o.d Stream, where the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast resided back then, was completely quiet due to the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast having been finished off by Xiao Yan"s group. At this moment, it was completely quiet. It was no longer covered in a poison vapor like it had been back then. The enormous rock fortress appeared exceptionally empty. It no longer possessed the domineering aura that existed when the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast was residing in it.
Waves of rus.h.i.+ng wind sounds appeared a thousand meters from the rock fortress. A moment later, many white figures appeared on the flat land outside of the rock fortress.
"Old She, the energy ripple that we sensed two days ago should have originated from this place…" An elder"s gaze swept around the rock fortress before he respectfully spoke to that old man at the side, who was holding a snake walking stick.
"There is no longer any aura in this place…" The old man who was addressed as Old She paused his eyes on the rock fortress as he faintly commented.
"From what I know, this should be the Sky Scorpion Region. It is managed by a Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast that has reached the strength of an eight star Dou Zong. However, from the looks of it now…" Another old man frowned and revealed what he knew.
"Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast…" Old She narrowed his eyes and slowly said. "This place has the remnant aura of a corpse. If I have guessed correctly, that fellow should have been finished off…"
"What? That fellow possessed the strength of an eight star Dou Zong. Even in this Fallen G.o.d Stream, it is one of the few such existences. Who is able to kill it?" The remaining people exclaimed after hearing this.
"Other than the corpse aura, there are traces on the ground that show that it has been grilled at high temperature. Clearly, it is someone who possesses a great control of fire. From the remnant souls of the Ice River Valley"s disciples back then, I discovered that there is a young man among them who controls a kind of extremely powerful flame. If I have guessed correctly, this should have been done by that group…" Old She grabbed some gra.s.s and gently pinched the blades. The gra.s.s turned into dust when he did so…
"Done by that group? They are this strong?" The expressions of the remaining three white-clothed elders changed. That was an eight star Dou Zong…
"They were able to easily kill Bing Fu and the two others. What is there to be surprise about them being able to fight with an eight star Dou Zong?" Old She faintly smiled. He slowly stood up and turned his eyes to the north of the Fallen G.o.d Stream. His shriveled face revealed a strange smile. "However, the air still possesses the remnant aura of the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast. It is likely they took its Monster Core. We should be able to find them if we follow this aura…"
"Old She is wise." The three white-clothed, old man rejoiced and respectfully praised him when they heard his words.
Old She randomly waved his hand. He gripped the snake walking stick and slowly walked to the north of the Fallen G.o.d Stream. A faint laugh was slowly being emitted from him.
"The old me is really becoming curious about this group of people. Not only have they housed the Poison Lady but they have also come here to kill this Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast for no reason. Ha ha, not bad…"
The three old men behind faced each other. They immediately let out cold laughs. They really did not know whether it was those fellows" misfortune or honor that stirred the interest of Old She.
"Those who offend the Ice River Valley will not come to a good end. What pitiful individuals…"
Chapter 1084: Refining A Body
A hot air wave was flowing to and fro within the quiet small valley, causing the poison fog in the air to continuously pale..
There was a human figure sitting on an enormous rock in the valley. An enormous, crimson medicinal cauldron was suspended in the air in front of the figure. Jade-green flames burned fiercely within the cauldron. The hot air wave of the valley was spreading from this place…
A couple of human figures were standing a hundred meters away from this enormous rock. Their gazes were gathered on the medicinal cauldron.
"It has already been six days…"
Xin Lan looked at the focused human figure on the enormous rock, sighed softly, and commented.
"A tier 7 medicinal pill is not easy to refine. Naturally, one must spend some time…" The Little Fairy Doctor was not surprise. She softly said, "Moreover, the Pill Qi within the medicinal cauldron is becoming denser. It is likely that it will not be long until the pill is formed."
Xin Lan nodded when she heard the Little Fairy Doctor"s explanation. She was just about to speak when the medicinal cauldron, a short distance away, suddenly shook. A clear buzzing sound rippled from it and reverberated over the valley.
"What is it?" This unexpected change caused the Little Fairy Doctor and the others to hurriedly throw their gazes over.
An unusually dense Pill Qi suddenly spat out from the medicinal cauldron like a volcano after it emitted a buzzing sound. One could vaguely see the origin of the Pill Qi seemed to be from a round medicinal pill wrapped in a jade-green flame…
"Is it about to form a pill?"
The Little Fairy Doctor felt joyful when she sensed the density of this Pill Qi.
In front of the focus of the Little Fairy Doctor"s group, the Pill Qi being spat out from the medicinal cauldron became denser. In the end, almost the entire valley was permeated by this pill fragrance that braced one"s attention. Clearly, this was an indication that a pill was about to be formed.
Although the Yin Yang Life Soul Pill was at the tier 7 middle grade level, it was not very difficult to refine. Additionally, with the experience of having aided Tang Zhen in refining the Fire Bodhisattva Pill, the refinement this time around was unexpectedly smooth. Everything seemed to progress naturally and not even the slightest mistake appeared along the way.
Xiao Yan slowly opened his narrowed eyes while the Pill Qi spewed forth. He looked at this scene and a pleased expression surfaced on his face.
The spewing Pill Qi became fiercer. In the end, it broke through the layer of poison fog in the sky. Having been summoned by this dense Pill Qi, dark clouds swiftly began to gather in the sky…
A joy immediately appeared in Xiao Yan"s eyes when he saw this scene. He did not expect the Yin Yang Life Soul Pill to attract Pill Lightning.
Pill Lightning, that was the greatest headache for alchemist, was something that Xiao Yan loved to see because his Earth Demon Puppet would be strengthened after a Pill Lightning Refinement. The last time around, the Earth Demon Puppet was strengthened to the point that it could contend with an eight star Dou Zong. Xiao Yan wondered just what level the Earth Demon Puppet would reach if it was to experience Pill Lightning again.
While Xiao Yan excitedly summoned the Earth Demon Puppet once again, the dark clouds that had gathered in the sky suddenly paused. After which, they became distorted. Although there were some m.u.f.fled thunderous sounds, a scene where lightning cut through the distant air and fell did not occur. Instead, after some squirming, the dark clouds gradually scattered…
The sudden scattering of the Pill Lightning was just like a basin of cold water being splashed on Xiao Yan"s head, extinguis.h.i.+ng all of his excitement.
"This… why did the Pill Lightning disappear by itself?"
Xiao Yan was stunned as he looked at the dark clouds in the air before he bitterly laughed a moment later.
"Big brother Xiao Yan, the poison fog within the Fallen G.o.d Stream is far too dense. Perhaps it is because the poison vapor has covered the Pill Qi, causing the Pill Lightning to fail to find its target and ended up scattering by itself…" The Little Fairy Doctor"s group was also stunned by this scene. After which, Xin Lan mused for a moment before finally crying out loud.
Xiao Yan could only nod his head when he heard this. After his earlier absent-mindedness, his heart understood what had occurred was indeed partly due to the poison vapor covering the land here. However, there was another reason. It was that the Yin Yang Life Soul Pill was unable to attract Pill Lightning. This kind of medicinal pill might be considered a tier 7 middle grade pill, but strictly speaking, it had only barely reached the middle grade. If it was not due to the unique effects of the pill, it would be only a tier 7 low grade level. The Pill Qi that it emitted was perhaps unable to attract Pill Lightning. This, along with the poisonous vapor hiding, caused the Pill Lightning to gradually scatter after it had appeared.
"Unlucky… however, I"m pressed for time and don"t have the time to deal with Pill Lightning…"
Xiao Yan quietly voiced his unluckiness in his heart before he waved his hand. The black-red medicinal pill within the medicinal cauldron was sucked out.
"This is the Yin Yang Life Soul Pill huh…" Xiao Yan"s eyes observed the medicinal pill in his hand as he muttered to himself.
This medicinal pill was the size of a dragon"s eye. It was both black and red in color. It had a rounded surface that contained a brilliant l.u.s.ter. When one"s hand rubbed over it, one would feel an icy coldness on one side while the other was warm, causing one to feel a great comfort.
"Since the medicinal pill has been successfully refined, next will be the refinement of the body…" Xiao Yan gently inhaled a breath of air. He randomly stored away the medicinal cauldron and waved his hand. A corpse that was covered in ice appeared. This corpse was that of Yun Shan from the Misty Cloud Sect. Originally, Xiao Yan had prepared it for Yao Lao back then. However, a corpse of this level could no longer catch Xiao Yan"s eyes. It would be used to conduct an experiment.
After summoning the corpse, the body refining method that Yao Lao had taught Xiao Yan flowed into his mind. A moment later, he quietly nodded. He waved his hand and an invisible wind dragged the corpse, suspending it in the air.
Xiao Yan waved his hand and a wisp of Glazed Lotus Heart Flame appeared. It emitted a "puff" sound as wrapped around the corpse. The cold ice on the corpse swiftly melted under the frighteningly high temperature of the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame…
"Old mister Yao, hand me a thread of Spiritual Strength!"
Xiao Yan spoke in a deep voice as he looked at the ice that swiftly scattered.
Hearing this, a thread of Spiritual Strength was immediately separated from between Tian Huo zun-zhe"s brows. After which, this Spiritual Strength drifted to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan grabbed the Spiritual Strength and randomly tossed it into the corpse. After which, the Yin Yang Life Soul Pill was tossed to Tian Huo zun-zhe. "Consume it. Once I give the word, you should immediately enter this body!"
Tian Huo zun-zhe nodded with a grave expression. He stuffed the medicinal pill into his mouth without any hesitation. An excitement was flickering in his eyes.
Xiao Yan swiftly took out a jade bottle from his Storage Ring after seeing that Tian Huo zun-zhe had consumed the medicinal pill. The interior of the jade bottle was filled with a purple-red-colored blood. A shockingly wild and violent energy seeped out of it. This was the Essence Blood of the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast.
Xiao Yan"s hand squeezed with a great force and the jade bottle burst apart. The large cl.u.s.ter of liquid blood scattered. With a wave of Xiao Yan"s hand, all of the blood landed on the body surrounded by flames.
Waves of sizzling sounds were suddenly emitted when the liquid blood had just made contact with the corpse. One could see the skin of the corpse began to swiftly rot.
This change did not cause Xiao Yan"s expression to alter. After an indifferent glance, Xiao Yan commanded the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame and suddenly increased its temperature…
Following the increase in the temperature of the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame, the blood that adhered to the corpse began to slowly seep into it in a strange manner. The originally pale-white flesh was gradually filled with life when the Essence Blood merged with it…
Around half an hour after the Essence Blood gradually merged into the corpse, "Yun Shan"s" tightly shut eyes were suddenly opened. His empty eyes contained a fluctuating lifeforce. Of course, this life force was not Yun Shan"s lifeforce. Instead, it was due to the thread of soul from Tian Huo zun-zhe.
When "Yun Shan" opened his eyes, Xiao Yan suddenly let out a deep cry, "Old mister Yao, enter!"
Tian Huo zun-zhe, who had already been waiting for the order by the side, was filled with excitement when he heard Xiao Yan"s cry. After which, his illusionary figure rushed into the corpse. After which, he penetrated through the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame and pounced into the corpse, which was covered in a red-colored glow.
A strange black-red ripple emitted from the middle of Tian Huo zun-zhe"s brows the moment his soul made contact with the corpse. The ripple spread at lightning-like speed as it covered the entire body.
"Puff!"
The soul of Tian Huo zun-zhe and the corpse suddenly collided as the black-red ripple spread. This time around, the collision did not repel the soul. Instead, the soul slowly merged into the body…
"Is it successfully completed?"
Xin Lan and the Little Fairy Doctor by the side were unable to control their joy as they asked after seeing Tian Huo zun-zhe"s soul merge with the body.
"Not yet. Old mister Yao must endure the burning of the Heavenly Flame and gradually obtain control of the body. Only then can he be considered to have truly revived from the flames." Xiao Yan"s expression was solemn as he shook his head. The subsequent step was the most important one. If Tian Huo zun-zhe was unable to endure the burning of the Heavenly Flame, it was likely that not only would this physical body be wasted but his soul would also suffer a fatal blow.
"The both of you should head to the entrance of the valley and stand guard there. The Earth Demon Puppet will aid you. Remember, do not allow anyone to enter!" Xiao Yan instructed them in a deep voice.
The Little Fairy Doctor and Xin Lan nodded when they heard him. They grabbed the Earth Demon Puppet and slowly stepped back. Finally, they came to a stop at the entrance of the valley.
Xiao Yan turned his gaze away after seeing this. He looked at the corpse with a painful expression, burning within the Heavenly Flame in the air. His fist slowly tightened. "You must endure!"
The burning of the Heavenly Flame continued for two days. Even though this was the case, the flame burning outside of the corpse did not disappear. However, the pain on the face of the corpse was gradually reduced, perhaps as a result of it having become numb. Moreover, a hidden mighty aura was quietly brewing within the body…
Another day pa.s.sed. On this day, the slight sound of rus.h.i.+ng wind suddenly appeared a distance from the valley that had been quiet for a long while. A moment later, a white-clothed man carrying a snake-shaped walking stick slowly appeared at a spot around a hundred meters from the entrance of the valley. Many white figures appeared one after another behind him…
"Ke ke, the poison fog of this Fallen G.o.d Valley is really too dense. It even hid the scent of the Monster Core. However… we have finally found them."
The old man holding the snake-shaped walking stick looked at the valley. His smile was exceptionally dense.
Chapter 1085: Peak of the Dou Zong Cla.s.s
The entrance to the valley was a path that was a couple of dozen feet wide. The Little Fairy Doctor and Xin Lan were seated cross-legged on the walls beside the path. The Earth Demon Puppet, with its hollow eyes, was beside them.
Xin Lan held her cheeks with her hand as her gaze repeatedly swept over the valley. There had been no commotion in the valley during these couple of days of waiting. She really did not know how things were progressing…
"Ugh…" Xin Lan softly sighed. She stretched her lazy waist and was just about to speak to the Little Fairy Doctor beside her when the Little Fairy Doctor"s tightly shut eyes were suddenly opened. A grave expression instantly surged onto her pretty face.
"What is it?"
Xin Lan was shocked when she saw the appearance of the Little Fairy Doctor, and she hurriedly asked.
"The people from the Ice River Valley… have arrived…" An icy cold glint flashed across the Little Fairy Doctor"s pretty eyes. She slowly stood up from the ground as a faint killing intent gradually wreathed out of her body.
Xin Lan"s expression also changed when she heard the Little Fairy Doctor"s words. Her eyes hurriedly looked to the outside of the valley. She indeed saw some white figures in the distance.
"You are the Woeful Poison Lady, right?"
While Xin Lan was looking at the area outside of the valley, an indifferent, old voice was suddenly transmitted from the distance. After which, it landed in the ears of the Little Fairy Doctor and Xin Lan.
The Little Fairy Doctor did not reply to this voice. An icy-cold expression was present in her eyes. She clenched his fist and grayish-purple Dou Qi slowly extended out like two enormous pythons. Immediately, they meandered around her body…
A gentle ripple was suddenly formed in the air at the entrance to the valley not long after the old voice sounded. Immediately, a hunched-backed figure, holding a snake-shaped walking stick, slowly appeared in front of the Little Fairy Doctor"s and Xin Lan"s eyes.
Following the appearance of this hunched-backed figure, sounds of wind parting appeared behind him. A moment later, numerous white figures landed behind the hunchbacked figure in an orderly fas.h.i.+on. This group of people was silent after making their appearance. A killing intent was vaguely and slowly spreading at the same time, causing the surrounding poison gas to scatter.
The Little Fairy Doctor"s eyes narrowed when the old man holding a snake-shaped walking stick appeared. She quietly tightened her hands and said in a clear cool voice, "It is indeed an expert at the peak of the Dou Zong cla.s.s. This Ice River Valley is really willing to put in the effort!"
"Ha ha, it is not overboard for the old me to act for the Woeful Poison Lady. Moreover, according to the rules of my Ice River Valley, those who have killed the Elders of my valley will also be captured and put to death." The old man holding the snake-shaped walking stick was naturally the Elder Tian She from the Ice River Valley, who had entered the Fallen G.o.d Stream in search of Xiao Yan"s group. At this moment, his narrow eyes were looking at the Little Fairy Doctor above him. He smiled slightly while his voice contained an unconcerned tone.
"He is… Ice River Valley"s Elder Tian She?" Xin Lan, who was behind the Little Fairy Doctor, revealed a somewhat pale-white face due to the large group of Ice River Valley"s experts that had appeared. When her eyes paused on that old man, her paleness grew even more intense as she involuntarily cried out.
"Elder Tian She?" The Little Fairy Doctor was startled. Immediately, her face changed a little. Even someone like her, who had entered the Pill Region a short while ago, had heard of this person"s name. It was rumored that this old fellow was not only strong, but had also practiced the Ice Zun Force of the Ice River Valley to a peak level. An ordinary Dou Zong was unable to even last ten exchanges against him. Moreover, each time this person fought, he would not leave anyone alive. Additionally, he relied on the overbearingness of his Ice Zun Force to freeze his opponents into life-like ice sculptures, causing one to feel terrified just by looking at it.
The fierce reputation of this old fellow was quite well-known in this Middle Region. The Little Fairy Doctor had not expected the Ice River Valley to dispatch this old demon.
"Why are there only the two of you? I remember there seemed to be a young man and a spiritual body that possessed a great strength, no?" Tian She gently stuck the snake-shaped walking stick into the ground as he laughed, "Ask the both of them to come out. Today, the old me shall not let anyone off. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to account to the Valley Chief."
"I"m afraid that you don"t have that ability." The Little Fairy Doctor coldly laughed. She turned her head to Xin Lan and said, "Head to the valley. Look after Xiao Yan and Tian Huo zun-zhe."
Xin Lan hesitated for a moment after hearing her words. However, after thinking about how she would only be a burden to the Little Fairy Doctor, she could only clench her teeth and swiftly withdraw. After which, she leaped into the valley.
"It seems that all of them have hid in the valley. Could it be that they were injured when fighting the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast the last time?" Tian She was unconcerned about Xin Lan leaving. None of these people would be able to flee today.
The Little Fairy Doctor knit her eyebrows. She did not expect this old demon to be aware of their fight with the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast. He was indeed somewhat skilled…
"Old She, leave this woman to us. You can just rest…" One of the three white-clothed, old men beside Tian She glanced at the Little Fairy Doctor before speaking in a respectful manner.
"There"s no need. The old me is also extremely interested in this Woeful Poison Lady…" Tian She suddenly rubbed the back of his ear when he spoke until this point. There was a brown scar at that spot. An ugly hole was vaguely present in the scar. It was as though the flesh had been dug out of that spot. It caused one to s.h.i.+ver when looking at it.
Tian She rubbed this brown scar. A chill suddenly surged out of both of his eyes. "I can"t remember just when I exchanged blows with that last person that had the Woeful Poison Body. However, I have a deep memory of that person. Today, allow the old me to see just what level this Woeful Poison Body has reached."
The three white-clothed, old men looked at each other after hearing this. None of them dared to say anything more. Being defeated by the expert who possessed the Woeful Poison Body back then had left a b.l.o.o.d.y scar in the heart of Tian She. They did not dare to say anything over this matter.
"All of you should guard the four corners of this valley. Do not allow anyone to escape!" Tian She lifted the snake-shaped walking stick as he slowly walked forward. After which, his feet stepped on empty air as he climbed to through the air. His eyes glanced at the Little Fairy Doctor and the Earth Demon Puppet beside her before laughing with a faint voice, "Other than you, there will not be anyone else alive in this valley."
The Little Fairy Doctor"s face was icy-cold. Her eyes swept over the valley without leaving a trace while her hands involuntarily tightened. There was still no activity within the valley. It seemed that the merger of Tian Huo zun-zhe with his physical body had yet to finish.
"I can only try my best to delay the time. Hopefully, Xiao Yan can increase the speed of the merger!"
The Little Fairy Doctor inhaled a gentle breath. She s.h.i.+fted her legs. Her foot had just stepped forward when the Earth Demon Puppet seemed to have been dragged by something. A "boom" sound appeared as its foot stomped violently on the ground. After which, it rushed toward Tian She in the sky.
The Little Fairy Doctor hurriedly followed after seeing this. The vast and mighty Dou Qi on her palms transformed into two grayish-purple large Dou Qi pythons. They emitted a hissing sound as they cut through the distant air and bit at Tian She.
"Is this that puppet? It is indeed a little extraordinary. However, the true peak of the Dou Zong cla.s.s is not someone you can fight against by relying on numbers…" Tian She smiled indifferently in the face of the Earth Demon Puppet as it led the attack. He clenched his shriveled hand and one could see the s.p.a.ce in front of the Earth Demon Puppet fluctuate. A moment later, it transformed into a real substance.
"Bang!"
The Earth Demon Puppet violently collided against the s.p.a.ce wall. The rebounding effect returned most of the force to the body of the puppet, sending the Earth Demon Puppet flying.
Tian She slowly raised his shriveled hand after randomly forcing back the Earth Demon Puppet. After which, he faced the Little Fairy Doctor and made a sudden grabbing motion. Immediately, a ten-foot-large, cold air palm shot out and grabbed the two large grayish-purple Dou Qi pythons. With a ruthless pinch, the two enormous pythons crumbled, transforming into countless energy spots that scattered to the ground.
A cold smile surfaced on Tian She"s face after having shattered the enormous pythons. He waved his hand and an enormous palm appeared in front of the Little Fairy Doctor in a lightning-like fas.h.i.+on. After which, it was violently slammed down.
The Little Fairy Doctor"s pretty face changed slightly when she sensed the shocking cold air that had suddenly arrived. She could sense the circulation of the Dou Qi within her body was clogged in the face of this shocking cold air.
"What powerful Ice Zun Force!"
A seriousness surged onto the Little Fairy Doctor"s face. Dense, grayish-purple Dou Qi swiftly surged out of her body. After which, it gathered above her head.
"Bang!"
The large, cold ice palm landed without any obstruction, colliding with her grayish-purple Dou Qi. Frightening cold air surged out. Immediately, tiny ice flakes surfaced on her grayish-purple Dou Qi. The enormous palm completely smashed the Little Fairy Doctor"s defenses in a tricky manner.
"Grug!"
Her defenses were easily broken and the enormous force sent her body across s.p.a.ce before she had the time to withdraw. Immediately, a mouthful of fresh blood was spat out. Her lovely body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string. Finally, she smashed into the wall. The powerful force caused fissures to appear on the mountain wall.
The Little Fairy Doctor was forced back in defeat after merely one exchange. An expert at the peak of the Dou Zong cla.s.s was this powerful.
Tian She smiled slightly after having defeated the Little Fairy Doctor with one palm. He was about to give chase when a silver-colored figure once again rushed over without fearing death. A silver glow was flickering over its fist!
Faint disdain surfaced in Tian She"s eyes when he sensed the sharp wind contained on the fist of the silver-colored figure. All the puppet had was brute strength. It was still fine if it was dealing with an ordinary Dou Zong. However, it was undoubtedly just a reckless act against him.
Snow-white, cold air swiftly gathered on Tian She"s hand. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into an ice fist that struck forward!
Bang!
The ice fist and the fist of the Earth Demon Puppet violently collided at a speed that caused a great impact. Ice flakes immediately flew in all directions!
Tian She coldly laughed as the ice flakes shot out from the ice fist, and his arm suddenly and strangely wiggled, like a snake, before it suddenly shook!
Boom!
The floodwater-like force surged out while the arm was wiggling. This force contained the strength of the Earth Demon Puppet. That strange wiggling technique seemed to have completely reflected the Earth Demon Puppet"s attack.
The force spread out in a ripple form and a half-a-finger-deep fist mark sank into the chest of the Earth Demon Puppet. If it did not possess any life nor feel any pain, it was likely that Tian She"s hand would have killed it.
Even though this was the case, the Earth Demon Puppet was still violently thrown down. Finally, it shattered a couple of large rocks before it was deeply imprinted in the mountain wall.
"You"re only so-so…"
The snake-shaped walking stick in Tian She"s hand gently pressed against the empty air as Tian She swiftly glanced at the defeated Little Fairy Doctor. He faintly laughed, "The current you is indeed much weaker compared to the last person in possession of the Woeful Poison Body. Obediently return with me to the Ice River Valley and you might still have a chance to survive. Otherwise, your fate will not be better than the others…"
The Little Fairy Doctor"s face was ice-cold. She wiped away the trace of blood on the corner of her mouth. The seal formed by her hands changed and was just about to undo the seal of the Woeful Poison Body when a soft laugh suddenly spread from the valley.
"I think that there is no need to return to the Ice River Valley. This Fallen G.o.d Stream is not a bad burial ground. It should be quite a good place for your old bones to be buried here…"
Tian She slowly withdrew the smile on his face while he stood in the air. His eyes were gloomy as they landed on the entrance of the valley. Two figures were slowly walking out.
Tian She"s eyes paused on the young figure. Soon after, they turned to the old man, who was wearing a smile. After which… his gloomy face slowly stiffened.
"Dou Zun?"
His soft voice contained a little dullness and shock as it suddenly spread, causing the air around to quietly freeze.
Chapter 1086: Throwing An Egg Against A Stone (Useless Effort)
"Dou Zun?"
These two simple words appeared to possess an demonic power that instantly caused the air above the land to solidify. The chilly killing aura that was formed by the many Ice River Valley"s disciples completely collapsed in the face of these two words!
Two figures slowly walked out of the entrance of the valley. Xiao Yan lifted the Little Fairy Doctor up, and saw the hint of blood on the corner of her mouth. The slight smile on his face involuntarily tightened. However, this smile was filled with a killing aura and a chilly feeling.
"Have you succeeded?"
"The Little Fairy Doctor looked at Tian Huo zun-zhe behind Xiao Yan and asked joyfully.
Xiao Yan grinned slightly and nodded. He asked, "Are you alright?"
"It"s just some minor injuries." The Little Fairy Doctor randomly replied. This time around, she had paid some attention and did not allow the Ice Zun Force to invade her body. Additionally, that Tian She wanted to capture her alive. Therefore, he had held back when he launched his palm attack. It was due to this that her injuries were not considered serious.
Xiao Yan grabbed the Little Fairy Doctor"s hand. He only felt a.s.sured after probing her. Turning his head, he looked at Tian She in the sky, whose face had suddenly turned volatile and uneasy. He smiled as he said, "This elder"s blows are really heavy."
Tian She"s expression was dark and solemn as he glanced at Xiao Yan. After which, he let out a cold snort. His eyes slid to Tian Huo zun-zhe. Although he had yet to say a word, the vague pressurizing feeling that spread from his body caused Tian She to feel as though his heart had tightened. This kind of pressure was something that he had only sensed from the Ice River Valley"s Valley Chief and another old demon who had always surpa.s.sed him. Those two had truly stepped into the Dou Zun cla.s.s!
In other words, this plain old man was definitely a Dou Zun expert!
"The appearance of this person should be that of the spiritual body back then… at that time, he had only reached the level of an eight star Dou Zong. Now, however, it seems like that was done on purpose…" A thought quickly pa.s.sed through Tian She"s heart in this quiet atmosphere. Due to Tian Huo zun-zhe"s soul completely merging with this new body, even the appearance of the body had changed. It had turned into one that was similar to Tian Huo zun-zhe"s soul. Therefore, Tian She had managed to recognize Tian Huo zun-zhe as the spiritual body from just a glance.
"This friend, we can choose not to pursue the matter of you having killed the Elder of the Ice River Valley. However, my Ice River Valley cannot let off these people. Hopefully, on account of my Valley"s Chief face…" Tian She was worthy of being an expert renowned for a long time. Even when facing an elite Dou Zun, he was still able to calm himself after losing his composure. He cuppred his hands respectfully to Tian Huo zun-zhe, but he was interrupted before he could say all that he wanted to say.
"I am unfamiliar with your Valley Chief. The old me doesn"t think I need to give him any face…" Tian Huo zun-zhe gently twisted his arm. He still felt a little unfamiliar after having merged with this body. However, this feeling of possessing a physical body was really too wonderful. He glanced at Xiao Yan beside him and smiled. After which, he raised his head and answered Tian She with a smile.
Tian She"s expression slightly sank when he heard this. With his status and strength, it had been a long time since someone dared to say such words to him.
While Tian She"s expression had sunk, the three Ice River Valley"s Elders not far below also gradually recovered from their shock. Their gazes contained disbelief as they looked at the old man behind Xiao Yan. Dou Zun? How was it possible that this group of people would possess an expert at such a level?
Being expert Dou Zongs, they clearly understood just how frightening a Dou Zun was. They had never expected this situation, where nothing could have gone wrong, would undergo such a drastic change within an instant. Dou Zun… that was an ultimate expert that even Elder Tian She would have difficulty defeating even if he personally fought!
The three Ice River Valley"s Elders exchanged glances with each other. Their mouths were filled with bitterness. The change of this situation was really testing one"s ability to resist a blow. Earlier, they were the wolves surrounding the goats. However, in the blink of an eye, a fierce tiger appeared among these goats. The change of ident.i.ties from the hunter to the hunted seemed a little too quick…
"The old me is aware that you are not a nice person. Similarly, the old me also belongs to the type of people who will take revenge against those who offend me. Since you have wounded someone, you will naturally have to pay the price for doing so…"
Tian Huo zun-zhe gave a faint smile while the expressions of the people from the Ice River Valley were volatile. He turned his head to Xiao Yan and said, "Leave them to me."
Xiao Yan slightly nodded. He lifted the Little Fairy Doctor and slowly took two steps back before softly saying, "Since the Ice River Valley intends to deliver such a big gift, we should just accept it."
Tian Huo zun-zhe smiled and nodded. His robes suddenly rose despite the absence of any wind. The surrounding air was like a wave of water as it began to swiftly fluctuate. A mighty force slowly spread out.
"This friend, do you really wish to become enemies with my Ice River valley? Don"t think that you can be fearless just because you are an elite Dou Zun! My Ice River Valley has never been afraid of anyone!" Tian She"s eyes became darker when he saw the situation. The snake-shaked walking stick in his hand struck the empty air ruthlessly as he coldly cried out.
Tian Huo zun-zhe acted as though he did not hear this cold cry. The s.p.a.ce around his body began to fluctuate even more intensely. Under this kind of fluctuation, the surrounding rock fragments began to tremble. They quickly split apart, transforming into countless grains of tiny sand…
A denseness flashed across Tian She"s eyes when he saw Tian Huo zun-zhe ignoring him. An elite Dou Zun was indeed extremely strong. However, it was impossible to get him to withdraw with just this. It was not as though he had never seen an elite Dou Zun!
"Everyone from the Ice River Valley, listen up. Form the Strong Dragon Mysterious Profound Formation!" Tian She swiftly took a couple of steps back and cried out to the members of the Ice River Valley below in a stern manner.
All the members of the Ice River Valley s.h.i.+vered when they heard Tian She"s cry. However, these people were also considered the elites in the Ice River Valley. They immediately spread apart and formed an extremely mysterious formation. Tian She was located at the eye of the formation.
Hah!
Wave after wave of low cries was repeatedly being emitted from the mouths of the Ice River Valley"s disciples. Immediately, cl.u.s.ters of white-colored cold air shot from the tops of their heads. The white-colored cold air of the three Ice River Valley"s Elders were the strongest.
Countless blobs of strange-white-colored, cold air rose before agglomerating in the sky, lingering over Tian She"s body. At this moment, both of his eyes furiously opened. The seal formed by everyone"s hands swiftly changed, forming numerous dazzling afterimages.
"Strong Dragon Mysterious Profound Formation, Blood Offering Summons the Profound Dragon!"
Tian She"s fingernail cut the tip of his finger. Fresh blood shot out and immediately merged into the murky, cold air. He widened his mouth and an unusually mighty deep-blue air shot out. Finally, it agglomerated with the many intermingling vapors. As it swiftly wiggled, a thousand-foot-large, frosty dragon slowly appeared in the sky.
This icy-cold, enormous dragon was really huge. The surface of its body was covered with countless numbers of blood traces. An ice-cold b.l.o.o.d.y glint flickered in the eyes of the large dragon. Its gaze stared at everyone below, looking at them as one would look at an ant. This large dragon did not merely appear powerful. There was a dragon"s might seeping out of its body.
A paleness surged on the faces of Tian She and those people from the Ice River Valley when the ice-cold, large dragon appeared. The skin of some of the disciples had even become much drier. Their hair also showed signs of a weathering-yellow color.
Xiao Yan frowned slightly as he looked at this icy-cold dragon. The Ice River Valley really lived up to its name. They possessed such a mysterious formation. However, at a glance, it seemed the price they paid to use this kind of formation was significant…
Tian Huo zun-zhe"s body was suspended in the sky. His eyes looked at the large dragon as some surprise flashed through them. This icy-cold dragon was agglomerated from the Dou Qi and Essence Blood of all the people here from the Ice River Valley. Its might far exceeded that of an ordinary peak level Dou Zong.
"This friend, if you withdraw now, my Ice River Valley will still see you as a VIP!" Tian She spoke in a deep voice while his eyes stared intently at Tian Huo zun-zhe, whose robes were fluttering despite the absence of any wind.
"You are merely bluffing." Tian Huo zun-zhe faintly replied.
"You are bringing this on yourself!" A cold glint flickered in Tian She"s eyes. He did not believe that this dragon, formed from everyone"s Dou Qi, posed no threat to this person in front of them!
"Go!"
Tian She furiously cried out as he pointed his finger at Tian Huo zun-zhe. The icy-cold, large dragon in the sky immediately let out a roar. It widened its large mouth as a dragon aura, dozens of feet large, shot toward Tian Huo zun-zhe in a lightning-like fas.h.i.+on. Faint white-colored ice fragments appeared wherever the dragon"s aura pa.s.sed.
Tian Huo zun-zhe"s finger gently cut the s.p.a.ce in front of him as he looked at the icy-cold dragon aura that shot over. The air was just like thin paper as it was torn apart. A dark-black spatial crack, that looked just like a pocket, appeared out of nowhere. The dragon"s aura was sucked into it.
Tian Huo zun-zhe rubbed the crack with his hand after the dragon"s aura was absorbed into it. The spatial line strangely disappeared. He raised his head, aimed his hand at the distant dragon, and suddenly clenched it.
"Spatial Strangling!"
The s.p.a.ce of the entire place immediately began to fluctuate after Tian Huo zun-zhe"s soft cry sounded. The s.p.a.ce around the icy-cold, large dragon swiftly became distorted. Spatial folds could even be vaguely seen.
"Crack!"
A dark-black broken layer appeared after the folds revealed themselves. The large dragon"s body was forcefully torn apart by the spatial distortion. After which, it was swallowed into the dark-black crevice.
The icy-cold dragon immediately roared at the sky after its body broke. Its enormous body carried an incomparable sonic boom as it charged over toward Tian Huo zun-zhe.
Tian Huo zun-zhe revealed an empty smile as he watched the icy-cold, large dragon charge over. His suddenly clenched his hand!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
More s.p.a.ce was swiftly distorted. Numerous folds continuously appeared. The location where each fold appeared was the spot where the dragon was located. It had yet to even reach a thousand feet from Tian Huo zun-zhe when its enormous body was shattered into pieces and swallowed into nothingness.
By the time the icy-cold, large dragon had charged at Tian Huo zun-zhe, only its enormous head remained. Tian Huo zun-zhe extended his hand and pressed it on the dragon"s forehead. With a flick of his finger, that ice dragon was shattered into ice fragments that permeated the sky…
" Throwing an egg against a stone, utterly weak…"
The faces of Tian She and the others immediately turned red the moment the ice dragon was shattered. They spat out mouthfuls of fresh blood at the same time!
An elite Dou Zun was this terrifying!
