The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1924: Chapter 2021: Fang Qingye’s Trump Card

"Something seems wrong." Fang Lin noticed the Hidden Kill Hall Master’s face turning extremely grim and couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

The piercing pain in his chest grew more intense, and realizing something was amiss, the Hidden Kill Hall Master quickly acted against Fang Lin with gritted teeth.

Boom!!!

At that moment, a streak of golden light whistled by, colliding with the Hidden Kill Hall Master.

The Hidden Kill Hall Master let out a muffled groan, a flash of fear passing through his eyes, and then turned to leave without any further intention of attacking Fang Lin.

This series of events happened in an instant, as quick as lightning, before Fang Lin and the others could react, the Hidden Kill Hall Master had already vanished.

"What just happened? Why did that guy suddenly run away?" Fang Lin looked bewildered, glancing back, having clearly seen that unexpected streak of golden light.

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven pondered silently. Previously, when he was within the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, he vaguely sensed that there might be other presences inside, although this feeling was very faint, and he wasn’t sure if he was overthinking.

Now it seemed like the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree might indeed be hiding some secrets; otherwise, the Hidden Kill Hall Master wouldn’t leave so suddenly.

Regardless, the task of exterminating the first-generation Demon Saint could be considered a success, despite many twists and turns, it fortunately ended without danger.

The Hidden Kill Hall Master clasped his chest and fled to the Ten Thousand Mountains. When he landed on a mountain peak, he couldn’t help but spit out several mouthfuls of blood.

"Hou Yi! Are you still alive?" the Hidden Kill Hall Master gritted his teeth, now feeling the pain in his chest had lessened considerably.

"That’s impossible, Hou Yi is definitely dead; he can’t still be alive." The Hidden Kill Hall Master’s face turned cold, knowing rationally that Hou Yi had perished, but just a moment ago, he had indeed felt Hou Yi’s presence, and the piercing pain in his chest confirmed it was related to Hou Yi.

After all, the wound in his chest was caused by Hou Yi, and besides Hou Yi, the Hidden Kill Hall Master couldn’t think of anyone else who could trigger such a reaction from the injury.

"Whether you’re dead or alive, you can’t stop our progress. Even if you are still alive, I’ll just kill you again." The Hidden Kill Hall Master thought to himself, starting to absorb the life force of nearby creatures.

Numerous Demon Beasts thrived among the Ten Thousand Mountains, even the countless ordinary wild beasts without cultivation were abundant, providing a vast amount of life force.

Although the Hidden Kill Hall Master had revived, the wound in his chest never fully healed. As long as the injury existed, he could never reach his peak state.

Only by continuously absorbing life force could he fully heal this wound, and the Ten Thousand Mountains was undoubtedly the best place to do so.

As for the death of the first-generation Demon Saint, while it had a significant impact on several other Ancient Spirit Incarnations, the matter was as it was, and there was no need to dwell on it; after all, the death of one first-generation Demon Saint didn’t spell failure. It’s known that the Human Clan now only has one Martial Lord, Fang Qingye, who poses a threat.

Besides Fang Qingye, the Human Clan couldn’t find anyone else who could threaten these several Ancient Spirit Incarnations. As for the Demon Beast Clan, although the current Demon Saint is a natural spiritual embryo, the limited years of cultivation don’t yet pose a threat.

The only thing the Demon Beast Clan needed to be wary of was the enigmatic Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree. Even figures like Mo Shouhe and the Hidden Kill Hall Master among the Ancient Spirit Incarnations held an unexplainable dread towards the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree.

After all, the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree was a presence no less than the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu, being born within the Eternal Divine Mountain, not inferior in level to the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu.

The Qing Nation, just like the Tang Country, was nearly destroyed.

In the depths of the sky, Fang Qingye and Mo Shouhe clashed for a long time without reaching a conclusion, but Fang Qingye was just an incarnation, and after such a prolonged battle, most of his power was depleted. In contrast, Mo Shouhe continuously absorbed the life force of the beings in the Qing Nation to maintain his own strength.

Fang Qingye didn’t intend to continue entangling with Mo Shouhe; the first-generation Demon Beast was already dead, so continuing to fight Mo Shouhe held no significance. Besides, the longer he fought Mo Shouhe, the more the creatures on the ground would be affected, something Fang Qingye didn’t want to see.

Mo Shouhe, however, was reluctant to let Fang Qingye escape. He wanted to do his utmost to destroy this incarnation of Fang Qingye, and though he couldn’t kill Fang Qingye, it would at least diminish Fang Qingye’s power, affecting his main body significantly.

Fang Qingye quickly discerned Mo Shouhe’s intention and decisively took a step, risking being severely injured by Mo Shouhe to disappear from his sight.

Mo Shouhe missed with his palm strike and was furious upon seeing Fang Qingye run away. Clasping his palms, he used a bizarre secret skill to break the void and retrieve Fang Qingye’s incarnation.

A grey-white shadow appeared between Mo Shouhe’s palms, swiftly transforming into a portal, and Mo Shouhe plunged into it.

In the distorted, hazy void, Fang Qingye saw Mo Shouhe pursuing him and his lips curled into a strange smile.

"Fang Qingye, leave this incarnation with me." Seeing that he had caught up to Fang Qingye, Mo Shouhe locked the surrounding space, preventing Fang Qingye from escaping like before.

"Time and space, you dabble in both, but it seems now you are more adept at the path of space." Fang Qingye remarked calmly with a smile.

Mo Shouhe was surprised to see Fang Qingye so composed. This place had been sealed by him, and unless Fang Qingye’s main body came, it was unlikely for just an incarnation to break out.

But the calm demeanor of Fang Qingye’s incarnation made Mo Shouhe suspicious, wondering if Fang Qingye had another trick waiting for him.

However, on second thought, how much trouble could just an incarnation cause? Mo Shouhe confidently thought that he could easily handle an incarnation with dwindling power.

"Destroying this incarnation of yours, your main body won’t fare well either," Mo Shouhe said coldly.

Fang Qingye’s smile broadened, "Just an incarnation, if it can trap you here, losing an incarnation is worth it."

"What did you say?" Mo Shouhe’s face changed.

"The first-generation is dead; you, Mo Shouhe, might as well stay here for a while," Fang Qingye did not elaborate, revealing an item in his hand.

"The Xuanyuan Mirror!" Mo Shouhe, upon seeing the object in Fang Qingye’s hand, immediately knew what he intended to do.
