Chapter 456 - 335: Fake Pill Realm

Chapter 456: Chapter 335: Fake Pill Realm

Staring at his Evil Qi Points, which had suddenly skyrocketed to 45,000, Yu Changsheng was rather surprised. He immediately took a closer look at the Celestial Slaughter List.

The Celestial Slaughter List updated in real time, and his rank had already shot up from ninth to second place.

He was only a thousand points behind the first-ranked Qiu Xing. Of course, this was just the current ranking; nothing was set in stone until the very end.

Meanwhile, the change on the Celestial Slaughter List was instantly noticed by everyone else. An uproar erupted both inside and outside the Celestial Slaughter Secret Realm.

Those inside the Celestial Slaughter Secret Realm, in particular, were utterly astounded.

"What’s going on? How did Yu Changsheng’s rank jump to second in an instant?"

"Something’s not right! Look, Chen Haolan’s name is gone! And just a moment ago, Chen Haolan, Wang Haiyang, Yama, and Qiu Xing all went to hunt down Yu Changsheng together."

"Now... doesn’t this mean that not only is Yu Changsheng unharmed, but he actually managed to kill Chen Haolan in a counterattack?"

"Gasp... What kind of power is that? It seems we all underestimated him. To kill one of his pursuers while being hunted by those four... This Yu Changsheng..."

For a moment, the entire Celestial Slaughter Secret Realm was in an uproar.

The outside world reacted similarly, especially the supervising Elder from the Tyrant Emperor Sect, whose face grew so dark it seemed water could be wrung from it.

...

Regardless of the turmoil outside, Yu Changsheng raced until he found a secluded mountain spot. He excavated a cave residence, erased all his tracks, and laid down several layers of protective formations. Only then did he take a deep breath and slowly bring out the Celestial Slaughter Golden Lotus.

’The Celestial Slaughter Golden Lotus... even if it’s only half a flower... A treasure like this must be absorbed as quickly as possible, lest complications arise from delay...’

Yu Changsheng mused. The Celestial Slaughter Golden Lotus in his hand was indeed only half; instead of the complete eighteen petals, it now had nine. The amount of Heavenly Dao Qi it contained was reduced accordingly.

Having made his decision, Yu Changsheng wasted no more time. With a wave of his sleeve, he summoned Red Purgatory and the Colorful Star Deer to stand guard beside him.

"You two will be my Dharma Protectors."

After giving the command, Yu Changsheng took a deep breath, a dark light flashing in his eyes. He brought his hands together, and Void Fire began to dance upon his palms. As it flickered, the surrounding Spiritual Qi immediately swarmed toward him.

He condensed his Divine Sense into threads, meticulously guiding the Void Fire to slowly approach the Celestial Slaughter Golden Lotus. Using the Ten Thousand Spirits Technique to channel the flow of energy, Yu Changsheng’s fingers blurred as he struck the golden lotus with one Rune after another.

Relying on his Tier Three Alchemy Dao, Yu Changsheng planned to refine the Celestial Slaughter Golden Lotus into an Elixir, which would make it much easier to absorb.

"SIZZLE..."

The Flame danced, its intensity carefully controlled at a gentle level. Enveloped by the Void Fire, the remaining half of the Celestial Slaughter Golden Lotus began to shrink. Its nine petals folded inward, and it contracted from the size of a human head down to the size of a fist. A brilliant light flashed, and streams of a profound aura flowed out from it.

Time flowed on. Six hours later, a bead of sweat trickled down Yu Changsheng’s forehead. His eyes suddenly narrowed, and he clapped his hands together.

"Condense!"

Instantly, a blinding, golden-red light burst forth from his palms, piercing the void as Dao Rhyme permeated the air. Yu Changsheng’s eyes snapped open. As he unfurled his hands, he saw the Celestial Slaughter Golden Lotus was gone. In its place rested a Dragon Eye-sized Elixir, crimson red and covered in strange, sprawling golden patterns.

This Elixir was exceptionally strange. The patterns alone made one feel as if they couldn’t gaze upon it directly. It had no medicinal fragrance, yet it emanated a profound Dao Rhyme. To be precise, it wasn’t a true Elixir, but simply the Celestial Slaughter Golden Lotus condensed into a pill-like form for easier refining.

As for its Grade, that was naturally impossible to determine.

"Phew."

Yu Changsheng wiped the sweat from his brow. Looking at the Elixir in his hand, a smile spread across his face. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

’Not bad. And now...’

After a moment’s thought, Yu Changsheng swallowed the golden-red Elixir. His Cultivation immediately began to circulate, and in the center of his Qi Sea, the Nine-Layered Spirit Platform trembled.

"It’s sweet, like a lollipop."

Yu Changsheng muttered as he swallowed.

The Elixir melted the instant it entered his mouth, transforming into a warm current that spread through his limbs and bones. Yu Changsheng could feel his Physical Strength, Divine Soul, and Cultivation being nourished, improving at a slow and steady pace rather than a violent one.

Furthermore, a stream of profound energy circulated through his meridians, flowing alongside his Ten Thousand Spirits Technique. It spread throughout his entire body before finally returning to his Qi Sea to coil around the Spirit Platform.

That was Heavenly Dao Qi!

"RUMBLE!"

The Spirit Platform trembled. Golden patterns spread across the surface of Yu Changsheng’s skin as various Dao Rhymes fused and pulsed within him. Behind him, a vast, phantom image of the Nine-Layered Spirit Platform appeared, layer by layer, seemingly reaching for the heavens with an intent to ascend.

’It’s getting a little hot...’

Yu Changsheng’s brows furrowed. He began to gasp for air as streams of heat poured from every pore in his body. His expression was strained. The Ten Thousand Spirits Technique circulated frantically as nature’s spiritual energy poured into him without pause.

"CRACK! CRACKLE..."

A sound like muffled thunder erupted. Cracks began to spread unstoppably across the Nine-Layered Heaven-Reaching Spirit Platform, rapidly spiderwebbing from the First Floor all the way to the Ninth Floor.

With a final, loud CRACK, the Spirit Platform shattered. A blinding golden light burst forth, and the Heavenly Dao Qi surged in through the fissures, mixing with the fragments.

VMMMMMM...

The void hummed. The fragments of the shattered Spirit Platform, guided by a strange power, began to fuse and reorganize. The rampaging Spiritual Qi acted as a catalyst, violently kneading them into a single, cohesive mass...

The Cultivation, Divine Soul, and Physical Strength from all over his body converged on this point... A golden light bloomed...
