Chapter 159: It’s Better to Be More Cautious!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Chen looked at the Grandmaster’s memories and was extremely shocked.
He went back and looked at the medicinal elixir the Grandmaster had refined. This medicinal elixir was called the pseudo-death elixir. After eating it, one’s entire body would stiffen and lose all life force. One would enter a state of pseudo-death.
The Grandmaster of the Hundred Herb Hall knew that it would be extremely difficult for him to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation with his strength.
Therefore, he put this kind of medicinal elixir into his mouth in advance and waited for the Heavenly Tribulation to descend.
As long as the Heavenly Tribulation could not kill him, he would not use this kind of medicinal elixir. When he absolutely had no hope for himself, he would bite through the medicinal elixir and enter a state of faking death.
In this way, the Heavenly Tribulation would determine that he was a dead person, so it would not attack him anymore.
Ye Chen said that no matter if it was in ancient books or legends, he had never heard of anyone who could survive after failing to transcend the Heavenly Tribulation.
There were only two conditions for transcending the Heavenly Tribulation. One was to transcend the Heavenly Tribulation and ascend to immortality.
The other was to be struck to death by the Heavenly Tribulation.
And the pseudo-death elixir refined by the Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster made the Heavenly Tribulation mistakenly think that he was dead, so the Heavenly Tribulation disappeared and stopped attacking him.
In the end, this kind of behavior was deceiving the Heavenly Tribulation.
But, how could the Heavenly Tribulation fall for it?
Could it be…? The Heavenly Tribulation also had its own consciousness like humans?
Thinking of this, Ye Chen’s heart shook violently.
At this time, he recalled the old man he met in the three-star cave. He said that he did not want to ascend, did not want to ascend.
What exactly did this mean?
Ye Chen was a little confused.
This Heavenly Tribulation, what exactly was this immortal?
Why did he not ascend?
What would happen after he ascended?
Why would the Heavenly Tribulation not attack after entering a state of suspended animation? Could it be that the Heavenly Tribulation was also conscious?
Everything was swirling in Ye Chen’s mind.
At this moment, Ye Chen withdrew from the memories of the Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster.
The Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster’s life force was slowly disappearing. Ye Chen’s long sword had already pierced through his heart, so it was very difficult for him to resurrect.
He looked at Ye Chen and laughed, “Hahaha…you saw it, right?”
“Deceiving the Heavenly Tribulation, not bad,” Ye Chen replied calmly.
“Do you know what it means? The Heavenly Tribulation is also conscious, and the Heavenly Tribulation can also misjudge. Perhaps…the Heavenly Tribulation is also a kind of creature!” The Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster looked at Ye Chen and said.
Ye Chen looked at the Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster with an ice-cold gaze and asked, “Do you know what is in the sky?”
The Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster knew that he did not have much life left, he laughed and said, “I don’t know, but I know that even if we have become the peak of the tribulation in this world and become the strongest people in this world, we are nothing compared to those in the sky!”
“At the moment when I failed my last tribulation, I saw a shadow in the sky, a huge shadow…
“He had a huge head…
“With tentacles…
“Perhaps, they are the…G.o.ds in the sky!”
After saying that, the life force of the Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster completely dissipated. His entire body stiffened as if he had died.
Ye Chen calmly looked at the Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster, and then found a bottle of medicinal elixir on his body. It was that kind of fake death medicine. This kind of medicine was not even recorded in the complete alchemist manual that Ye Chen had signed in and obtained, it seemed that this kind of medicine was created and refined by the Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster himself.
One had to admit that this Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster was indeed a character.
Unfortunately, the one he provoked was himself.
Ye Chen showed no mercy. He raised his sword and slashed down.
The head of the Grandmaster of the Hundred Herb Hall rolled to the side.
Ye Chen knew the consequences if he did not finish the job.
In his previous life, Ye Chen had seen it in countless movies and novels. After the protagonist killed someone, he did not finish the job. Then, that person did not die at all.
Then, he gained great power, and then, he came back to take revenge.
At times like this, he would usually become the biggest villain. Even if the main character defeated him in the end, he would have to pay a huge price. Perhaps it was the sacrifice of a loved one, and being alive was the s.h.i.+eld of a loved one. Only then would the main character awaken…killing the villain.
Therefore, Ye Chen could not make such a mistake.
Moreover, this ancestor still had a pseudo-death elixir. What if he had eaten the pseudo-death elixir and was not really dead?
Now that he had chopped off his entire head with one slash, it was safe.
No, it was not safe.
Ye Chen walked back.
He came before the corpse of the Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster, and then he conjured a flame.
The flame instantly burned the body of the Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster.
In just a short while, the Hundred Herb Hall’s Patriarch’s body turned into a pile of ashes.
“He can’t be resurrected this time, right?”
Ye Chen looked at the pile of ashes and said.
However, to be safer, a strong wind was released from his hand. The strong wind blew the Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster’s ashes away.
The ashes of the Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster instantly covered the entire land.
At this moment, Ye Chen was finally relieved.
If he could still be revived, then the Hundred Herb Hall’s Grandmaster would be too terrifying.
At this moment.
The Hundred Herb Hall’s disciples looked at Ye Chen as if they had seen a devil.
In addition, Ye Chen’s act of crus.h.i.+ng his bones and scattering his ashes made them even more afraid of this devil.
