"Boom! Boom!" A terrifying wave of destruction surged forth from the heavens, sweeping across the sky with such force that it seemed destined to obliterate the very realms of space and time. Xiao Yan stared intently at the wildly chaotic battlefield, his gaze flickering with concern. Everyone present had underestimated the power of the Imperial-grade embryonic elixir. Candle Kun had initially believed that, with his combined strength alongside Gu Yuan, they could subdue it within a short period. Yet, upon direct confrontation, they realized their expectations had been overly optimistic. Furthermore, although Huntu and Xuwu Tian appeared to be working in unison, they consistently interfered at crucial moments, further compounding the disorder of the battlefield. Yet fortunately, this chaos was mutual. While Zhu Kun and Gu Yuan struggled to successfully subdue the Imperial-tier fledgling Dan, the Soul Sky Emperor and Xuzhui Wuxiu also found themselves entirely without opportunity. Among the four, Xuzhui Wuxiu, who was slightly weaker, was repeatedly overwhelmed by joint assaults from Zhu Kun and Gu Yuan. Had it not been for the Soul Sky Emperor's assistance, he likely would have sustained injuries long ago. Seeing the苦笑 on his face, Yanjin could only shake his head helplessly—he too understood that they couldn't do much at the moment… Above everyone’s line of sight, the Imperial-grade雏丹’s face remained cold, his hands swirling with energy, and suddenly, a rich, intense aroma of elixir began to surge through the heavens. "Stay away from the aroma!" As soon as he sensed this unusual scent, Xiao Yan was startled—under its influence, his internal qi seemed about to ignite and burn. He immediately shouted. Hearing his command, everyone quickly held their breath. Fortunately, the aroma wasn't directed at them, so after a brief agitation of their internal qi, it gradually settled. "Imperial Elixir Palm!" The Imperial-grade雏丹’s eyes snapped open, his body suddenly rising into the air, then he pressed his palm downward toward the four below. At the very moment his palm made contact, a brilliant, luminous orb—about the size of a human head—emerged instantly! Thud. Thud. Thud. With the emergence of this resplendent light sphere, the energy throughout the heavens and earth surged like boiling oil encountering a flame, instantly igniting in a fierce blaze. Stretching out as far as the eye could see, the sky was filled with roaring flames, transforming the entire cosmos into a vast furnace. Witnessing the might of this Imperial-grade Juvenile Pill palm strike, even ancient figures like Gu Yuan were visibly startled, hastily mobilizing their inner qi. The Imperial-grade Juvenile Pill's face grew even colder, and as he pressed his palms down, the flames across the heavens roared forth with astonishing speed. In mere moments, the boundless flames that had filled the realm were completely drawn into the radiant light sphere in his hands. "Extinction!" With the palms pressed, the heavens darkened instantly, leaving only the light sphere in the Juvenile Pill's palms radiating a destructive glow. The sphere pulsed and surged, then descended with a roar, reaching the heads of Gu Yuan and the others within less than half a breath. "Roar!" "Facing such a terrifying assault, even the ancient Yuan quartet felt an intense sense of danger, rising spontaneously to surge their boundless fighting qi and rapidly forming the strongest defensive barrier! 'Boom! Boom!' The luminous spheres struck hard against the qi defense above them, producing a thunderous roar. As waves of destruction surged forth, the four figures tumbled down from the sky, landing heavily on the plain and creating deep fissures stretching tens of thousands of feet in depth. Witnessing this, everyone's expressions turned sharply startled—no one had expected the Imperial-grade embryonic pill to be able to withstand the combined power of four nine-star Nine-Star Fighting Saint-level masters! Though the four had split into two factions, each harboring their own hidden intentions, they were still among the very peak of celestial strength. Unanticipatedly, even in a semi-cooperative stance, they were reduced to such a state by the Imperial-grade embryonic pill." The Imperial-grade embryonic pill floated in the heavens, its gaze cold and fixed upon several chasms stretching a myriad of li across the plain below, where four beams of light rose slightly disheveled, dividing into two factions and facing each other at a distance. "You still haven't quite mastered the art of absorbing me," the Imperial-grade embryonic pill remarked, glancing at the four figures with a calm tone. "Hmph—aren't you just a bit too optimistic?" As soon as the Imperial-grade embryonic pill finished speaking, Xu Wu Tan suddenly sneered, then turned his head toward Houn Tian Di, his voice steady and resolute, "Hand me the Tuo She Ancient Jade!" Upon hearing this, Houn Tian Di was momentarily startled, hesitated for a brief moment, and then decisively retrieved the Tuo She Ancient Jade, tossing it to Xu Wu Tan. Grasping the ancient jade, Xu Wu Tan offered the Imperial-grade embryonic pill a stern smile, then bit down sharply on his tongue, spitting out a stream of black blood shimmering with black flame that struck the jade. At the same time, his hands suddenly formed a series of remarkably strange hand seals. Staring at the sudden movement of Vun Xuan, Xiao Yan was also momentarily stunned, fixing his gaze on the hand seal, and feeling a faint sense of familiarity. After a brief pause, he suddenly lifted his eyes to the ancient emperor statue towering a hundred thousand feet high—there, the hand seals formed by the statue were exactly the same as Vun Xuan’s initial hand gesture! Void Nuance snorted a laugh, offering no explanation. With a simple flick of her hand, the splendid luminous ring shot forth and, within a brief moment, appeared at the head of the Imperial-grade embryonic pill. Radiant rings of flame gradually unfolded, fully encircling the embryonic pill. Witnessing the once-confident Imperial-grade embryonic pill now reduced to such a state of embarrassment, everyone was stunned. Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun's faces shifted in expression, then hardened with determination; they moved swiftly, instantly charging toward the Void Devouring Flame. It seemed that the Void Devouring Flame's ability to manifest the so-called Pill-Transformation Ring was largely due to the influence of Todhe Ancient Emperor's Jade. "Hmph!" As the two combatants engaged, the prepared Houn Tian Emperor issued a sharp exhalation, moved with fluid grace to stand before them, and with a series of quick finger snaps, launched several pills radiating a rich, potent fragrance directly at Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun—each exploding in a powerful burst. "Boom! Boom!" The shockwaves surged, forcing both Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun to halt mid-motion. With a cold smile, Gu Yuan remarked, "Self-explosion of nine-grade divine pills—what a grand gesture!" As soon as the words fell, the two stood on either side of Houn Tian Emperor, launching a fierce assault that enveloped him completely. "Thud! Thud!" Faced with the combined assault of Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun, the Soul Emperor immediately found himself at a disadvantage, struggling to advance or retreat, appearing quite awkward. Yet he understood the gravity of the situation and gritted his teeth, drawing upon every ounce of strength to fiercely resist Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun. "Get out!" After a fierce exchange, Zhu Kun's eyes flared with growing fury. With a sudden, thunderous roar, a colossal dragon—spanning nearly ten thousand li of sky—emerged, instantly transforming into a beam of vibrant purple and golden light that struck the Soul Emperor with lightning speed, right as he had just clashed with Gu Yuan. "Pfft!" The brilliant beam pierced straight through the Soul Emperor's robust aura defense, crashing forcefully into his body. A gush of blood erupted from his mouth, and he staggered backward, retreating several thousand li before finally steadying himself with a wince. "Now!" As Huo Tian Di's form retreated dramatically, Xu Wu Tan also roared fiercely—his Imperial-grade embryonic pill was effortlessly absorbed into the Dan Transformation Ring, transforming into a vibrant, luminous orb the size of a human head, floating within the ring. Witnessing this, Xu Wu Tan was instantly delighted. With a wave of his hand, the Dan Transformation Ring shot toward him like lightning. Yet, just as it was about to reach him, a figure suddenly materialized before him, seizing the ring with one grasp. The sudden turn of events startled Xu Wu Tan. His gaze flickered between the now-hairly, disheveled form of the Soul Tian Di. "Hand over your Imperial-grade embryonic pill," said Gu Yuan, his expression grave, fixing his gaze on the Soul Tian Di. "With your current condition, even combined with Xu Wu Tan, you are no match for us." Cen Kun, standing beside him, slowly clenched his fists, his expression fierce and hostile, locked onto the Soul Tian Di. "Desire the Imperial-grade embryonic pill?" The Hu Tian Di wiped a streak of blood from his lip, turned his head slightly to gaze at the brilliant orb within the Hu Dan Huan. The orb shimmered like a galaxy, as if the energies of heaven and earth had all converged there. Yet, as he stared intently at the radiant glow, a strange smile spread across his face. Then, amidst the astonishment of the onlookers, he suddenly opened his mouth wide and swallowed the entire luminous orb whole! He had, in fact, directly ingested the Imperial-grade embryonic pill—such a feat was nothing short of self-sacrificial.
