The Battle Through Heaven
The Life Worship Pill
The pressure on the mountain fortress was immediately reduced when the troops of the ‘Black’ Alliance were scattered in defeat. The great great battle had ended in an anti (sensory) manner with the pressure impressing Xiao Yan. It must be said that/it the power of ‘He Heavenly Fire’ is really too scary.
Of course, to be exact, it was the special effect of ‘Fallen Heart Flame’ to summon an overly terrifying heart flame. As he summoned heart flames against an opponent who was stronger or had the same strength as him, he might not be able to cause them to light up on their own, either, but he would be able to distract when they tried to suppress him. This way, their fighting strength would weaken slightly. If he were to meet an opponent that was much weaker than him, the heart flame would be the key that took their lives. People from ‘Black’ Alliance that light up on their own and turn into ash are the best examples.
The threat to the fortress was resolved when the troops of the ‘Black’ Alliance were scattered in the retreat place. Many black figures appeared and emerged from the fortress, and began to clear the mess after the great battle.
Xiao Yan, Xiao Li, Zi Yan, and the others were sitting in a large hall in the middle of the fortress. Although everyone was a little tired, this was all suppressed by their excitement from the intense great battle earlier.
’I didn't expect you to be so evil. You actually completely finished Fan Lao. He was an elite Dou Huang. If this news were to spread, it would likely cause ‘Black-Corner Region’ to shake violently. ” Lin Yan was stunned for a while after hearing the news that/it Fan Lao was killed by Xiao Yan before he finally hit his lips and spoke.
Xiao Yan smiled, but did not continue to get entangled with this topic. He cupped his hands to everyone and said with a smile, ” Xiao Yan thanks everyone here for the kindness this time. If there are opportunities in the future .. ’’
Xiao Yan had not finished speaking when Lin Yan interjected, ” We have known each other for a long time. Forget these boring words. If I encounter any problems in the future, I will come and look for you even if you do not open your mouth. ’
Xiao Yan was stunned before he immediately smiled and nodded. The character of this person is as simple as it used to be.
” Hi, Xiao Yan, I have also contributed a lot. You better not forget. ” When Zi Yan by the side saw that/that Xiao Yan was just thanking Lin Yan, she immediately muttered unhappily.
’” Quiet, little girl. I will not forget your ‘Pill Body Transformation’. ” Xiao Yan patted Zi Yan on the head as he smiled and flattered Zi Yan until she smiled.
” I don't think I need to be polite to both of you right? ” Xiao Yan turned his gaze towards Wu Hao and Hu Jia at the side and spoke with a smile.
Both smiled and nodded. Including these two years, the three of them could be considered old friends. From not looking eye to eye back in the day to day they have joined hands to form factions like ‘Pan’s Gate’, the friendly feeling among the three has grown increasingly mellow. Wu Hao was a little stiff when dealing with problems, but it was very difficult for him to be unfaithful once he recognized someone as a friend. Hu Jia was very smart, and also a genuine person who did not hide her feelings. His relationship with Xiao Yan was similarly good. Therefore, he did not mind those meaningless words of gratitude.
Everyone thanked each other before Xiao Yan finally turned his gaze towards Xiao Li who was in the leader seat in the hall. Since they were suppressed for the previous time, Xiao Yan did not observe Xiao Li in detail. Now that he was silent and looking, his brows were also slightly knitting.
Two years had added some coldness to Xiao Li's face. However, the faint death aura left between his eyebrows was very clear in the eyes of someone like Xiao Yan whose Spiritual Strength was extremely powerful.
” Second brother, what happened to you during these two years? ” Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment before subconsciously opening his mouth to inquire.
The face of Xiao Li, who was initially smiling as she saw Xiao Yan talking to his friends, suddenly became dull when she heard this question. His smile was also slowly withdrawn as he fell silent.
The somewhat exhilarating atmosphere of the large hall slowly subsided following Xiao Li's silence. Everyone looked at the former's expression before looking into each other's eyes. They all have a little doubt. Finally, Hu Jia, who was more sensitive as a woman, gave Wu Hao and the others a look with her eyes before quietly retreating from the hall. He even gently closed the door as he left.
Xiao Yan's gaze watched Xiao Li who was secretly. He did not open his mouth to stop Lin Yan and the others from leaving. From the death aura left in Xiao Li's brows, it was as if he was the one whose death was imminent. This kind of situation did not allow for a hint of negligence on Xiao Yan's part.
After a while under Xiao Yan's continuous tense gaze, Xiao Li finally let out a long sigh. He revealed a bitter smile towards Xiao Yan and slowly said, ” Xiao-yan-zi, you are the most outstanding person in our Xiao clan. Before I arrived, the older brother told me that/that I could die but you can't! I don't have the slightest disagreement with this point. ’
Xiao Yan's face slightly shook. Even with his mental strength, his nose could not resist the urge to turn sour on these words.
” After I learned of your death in Jia Nan Academy back then, I want to directly go and find the people who have participated in the sneak attack to engage them in an all-out fight due to the great revenge of the Xiao clan. ” Xiao Li recalled the despair and madness in her heart when she learned of the news. His fist involuntarily hardened. ” If you really die, it is likely that the Xiao clan will be completely destroyed. ”
” However, I know that/that given the speed of my training, it seems like I will not be able to reach a power capable of taking revenge on the Misty Cloud Sect in the future. However, it is fortunate that/it Heaven does not leave one path leading to a dead end. About half a year after the news of your death had spread, I had fled to the deep mountains while being chased. Coincidentally, I got something. ’
A fiery heat suddenly surged into Xiao Li's eyes as he spoke up to this point. Xiao Yan's emotions also became a little tense. He could sense that/that the reason second brother turned out to be like this must be because of the thing he got.
” Among the things I got, there was one bottle of medicinal pills with two red-colored medicinal pills inside. According to the information written on the bottle, this type of medicinal pill could forcefully increase the strength of someone who was around the Da Dou Shi class all the way to the Dou Wang class. Yet…
Once the medicinal pill was used, one could only sustain his life for three years. In other words, this medicinal pill was basically using all the rest of one's life to exchange for the strength of a Dou Wang for three years! ’
A dizzy suddenly swarmed into Xiao Yan's head. He stirred up all the memories in his mind before finally finding a medicinal pill similar to the one Xiao Li had just mentioned.
’’Pill Life Rescuer!’ ’
Xiao Li was also somewhat surprised by Xiao Yan's ability to summon the name of the medicinal pill that had long been lost in the continent. However, he finally nodded.
Xiao Yan immediately sat weakly in his chair when he saw Xiao Li nod. He scratched his head with both hands. His face was dark and gloomy. This medicinal pill was something Yao Lao had told him during their journey. Even his voice was filled with affection and admiration when he spoke of this type of medicinal pill.
‘Pill Life Devouring’. It was a medicinal pill that had once shaken the entire continent a few years ago. It could be considered to be at the peak of the seventh level. The creator of this type of medicinal pill was an alchemist grandmaster who had an excellent reputation. The most frightening aspect of this medicinal pill was that it was capable of creating many expert Dou Wangs!
It could be imagined, how fond people would be when this one pill was able to go through all the training tribulations they had to go through in order to rise to this level. Although this type of temporary borrowing power is obtained by squandering one's life, it, which of the people who can actually rely on normal training to reach the Dou Wang class does not possess outstanding training talent? How could this talent be something that everyone possessed?
Hence, it aroused the madness of many people at the time this type of medicinal pill was born. Some of the first-rate factions in the continent have extreme gr for it. After all, anyone who could obtain it might be able to make an expert Dou Wangs. Just imagine, who could defeat a faction if it had a thousand or ten thousand Dou Wang soldiers?
However, this kind of madness did not last long before it was finally annihilated. This was because the alchemist who created ‘Pill Life Devouring’ had disappeared overnight along with the medicinal formula for ‘Life Devouring Pill’.
There were still some people who did not give up and looked for him everywhere during the short period after he disappeared. However, as time passed, the madness that shook the entire continent gradually calmed down. The so-called ‘Pill Life Devouring’ gradually disappeared in the river of a long time. Even reaching that far was foreign to many alchemists today. Had Yao Lao not once told him the related information, it was likely that Xiao Yan would not have known some of the secrets of this alchemist world long ago.
Of course, the current Xiao Yan did not have the mood to care about how great the ‘Life Devouring Pill’ was. He only knew that/it was almost two years since Xiao Li had consumed the medicinal pill. In other words, it means that/it he only has about one more year to live!
Xiao Yan's expression was slightly pale. His eyes were filled with threads of blood. A moment later, he could not help raising his head and crying furiously, ” You clearly know that/that this thing is beyond your lifespan in exchange for strength. Why did you eat it? ’
Xiao Li helplessly shook his head in the face of Xiao Yan's angry voice. He said, ’You have died. What else can I do? If I don't do this, how many more years before I can repay you? ’
Xiao Yan was startled before he immediately suddenly understood.
’Ke Ke, You don't need to worry too much. You living is the best thing that can happen. Second brother is not important. The Xiao Clan can only rely on you! ” Xiao Li smiled as she looked at the face of the desperate Xiao Yan. He patted the player on the shoulder and pondered for a moment. With a flip of his hand, a somewhat strange and transparent bottle appeared in his hand.
He carefully placed the bottle on the table. Xiao Li looked left and right before suppressing his voice and saying, ” Third brother. This is what is called ‘Pill Life Devouring’. This might be the last one on the entire continent. ’
Xiao Yan was slightly surprised. He turned his head around and immediately focused his gaze on the blood-colored medicinal pill inside the jade bottle! If you find any errors (broken links, non-standard content, etc.), please let us know so that we can fix them as soon as possible.
