The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1944: Chapter 2041: Cataclysmic Devastation

"Is it possible that even within the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, you can’t restore yourself?" Fang Lin frowned and said.

Hou Yi smiled and said, "The fact that this remnant spirit of mine can exist until now is already thanks to the power of the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree. Without it, I would have long since perished completely."

"It seems the First Generation Demon Saint has recovered quite a bit using the power of the Sacred Tree. Why can’t you?" Fang Lin asked.

Hou Yi replied, "I was too severely injured back then and had already died. If it weren’t for your father barely preserving this remnant spirit of mine and sending it into the Sacred Tree in time, it wouldn’t have been saved. The reason the First Generation Demon Saint entered the Sacred Tree is that its lifespan had reached its limit, not because of injury, so it’s different from my situation."

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin finally understood and couldn’t help but feel some sorrow. The once-glorious Martial Arts Supreme had fallen to such desolation, now reduced to just a remnant spirit, with no chance of restoring his physical body.

"The nine suns were formed from the essence and blood of the Tu Shan ancient spirit. Back then, I exhausted all my flesh and blood strength to seal them. Now that the nine suns have reappeared, although I’m confident I can shoot them down again, I cannot extinguish them. Before that, you must reach the level of Martial Arts Supreme." Hou Yi said sternly.

Fang Lin nodded and took out the pills he had refined earlier.

There was only one pill, a rare four-colored pill, with the phantoms of four exotic beasts continuously manifesting, and its aura was extremely intense.

Upon seeing this pill, Hou Yi couldn’t help but admire, "Truly remarkable, being able to use parts of the four exotic beasts to refine pills, only you could achieve that."

Fang Lin took a deep breath, then swallowed the pill, immediately sitting cross-legged to start refining the pill’s power.

"I hope you can reach the level where you can contend with the Tu Shan ancient spirit before everything happens." Hou Yi looked at Fang Lin, who had closed his eyes and was meditating, and said to himself silently.

At the same time, the Chaotic Sea Area welcomed a terrifying enemy.

The disaster brought by the ten suns appearing at the same time had already caused numerous deaths among the people of the three sects in the Chaotic Sea, and the number of casualties continued to rise.

As for the many demon beasts hiding in this place, although the impact was smaller, over time, many demon beasts still died one after another.

When the Hidden Kill Hall Master arrived at this place, the Nine-Colored Deer and many other demon beasts understood that a great calamity had arrived. As the surviving batch of demon beasts from that year, facing the Hidden Kill Hall Master, they had no choice but to fight, with no retreat available.

"I let you survive back then, but today you won’t be so lucky." The Hidden Kill Hall Master looked at the vast Chaotic Sea, ignoring the remnants of the three sects, with eyes only for the Nine-Colored Deer and other group of demons.

With a wave of his hand, a swath of black light directly covered the entire Chaotic Sea. The people of the three sects had no means of resisting, turning to dust in an instant as the black light descended.

In just a matter of breaths, those who fled from all over the Seven Seas into the Chaotic Sea among the three sects were all dead, not a single person survived.

The Nine-Colored Deer and the group of demons relied on their formidable strength to break through the black light, avoiding being directly killed by the Hidden Kill Hall Master.

The Hidden Kill Hall Master looked at the Nine-Colored Deer and other demon beasts with a deep sneer and pity, as if looking at a group of ants.

"Now that Fang Qingye and Hou Yi aren’t here to protect you, do you have the awareness to meet your death?" the Hidden Kill Hall Master sneered coldly.

The Nine-Colored Deer, being the leader of the group of demons here and the strongest demon beast, naturally stood at the forefront of the demons, less than a hundred steps away from the Hidden Kill Hall Master.

Even when facing the Hidden Kill Hall Master, an expert comparable to the Martial Arts Supreme, the Nine-Colored Deer showed no fear, its eyes resolute and unwavering.

"I don’t have the resolve to meet death, but since you’re here, we’ll make sure you suffer some injuries even if it costs us our lives." The Nine-Colored Deer said solemnly.

The Hidden Kill Hall Master remained indifferent, his gaze extraordinarily cold, and said calmly, "Just by you? It won’t take any effort at all to kill you."

"No more words needed!" shouted the Nine-Colored Deer, its whole body radiating light, gathering Universe Spirit Energy, and various anomalies emerged on its body.

The group of demons followed suit, fearlessly charging towards the Hidden Kill Hall Master. Under the radiant glow of the Nine-Colored Deer, the strength of these demon beasts surged, and even the life force of each beast increased significantly.

The Hidden Kill Hall Master sneered, even if these demon beasts before him were ten times stronger, they posed no pressure to him. Only the Nine-Colored Deer seemed to be a bit troublesome in his eyes.

The assault of the group of demons could be described as terrifying; any contemporary strong person would have been killed. However, they were facing the Ancient Spirit Incarnation, making the assault of the demon group appear strong in form but tragic in reality.

They weren’t attacking the Hidden Kill Hall Master, but sacrificing themselves, using their lives to exhaust his power.

As for how much they could exhaust, they didn’t contemplate too much, as they had long been prepared for today over the years.

Demon blood rained down from the sky, staining the sea below a dark red. Whether human corpse or demon beast corpse, they began to gather on the sea’s surface, extremely tragic.

····

On the other hand, the mountain-like gigantic demon beast, after releasing the nine suns, headed towards the land of the Nine Countries.

At this time, the Nine Countries had long been devastated. Due to the ten suns appearing at once, countless people perished.

Whether it was the former Upper Three Countries, various Alchemy Tao families, or the Pill Alliance, they had no power to protect themselves, only waiting day by day for death.

The strong could grittedly endure, using various methods to barely survive, while the weak naturally died first, especially those ordinary people who had never practiced, perishing almost without exception from the first day the ten suns appeared.

In such a scenario, even if this great calamity were resolved, nearly everyone would be dead, signaling the end of the Nine Countries Seven Seas era, much like the Ancient Era.

However, compared to the great calamity of the past, this time the calamity’s power was undiminished, while the living beings on the land were much weaker than before, making the consequences of this calamity even more severe.

The cries of despair were heard everywhere on the earth; hopelessness and fear pervaded the hearts of all remaining people. They were powerless to change anything, only hoping they could live one or two more days.

As for the vitality of the dead, it was continuously absorbed by the nine suns and transmitted to the main body of the Tu Shan ancient spirit, causing the main body’s aura to grow stronger day by day.

At the place of suppressing the main body, Bai Qingxue and Fang Qingye both bore heavy expressions. Sensing the main body’s restlessness, they knew that the great calamity had already begun.
