Lu Chen's head emerged from the thick clouds, his eyes darting quickly as he observed everything below!
He dared to confront the Treasure Guardian Beast with his Void Immortal cultivation, believing he could withstand the Bone-less Sorcerer, a half Void Immortal. This assertion was not made lightly; he was completely confident.
The intelligence of the Treasure Guardian Beast was roughly equivalent to that of a ten-year-old child. It detested human schemes and feared the treacherous world because its low intelligence had led it to suffer significant losses in the past, leaving it with psychological scars.
It was precisely due to its low intelligence that it regarded the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron as its nemesis and superior, thus hesitating to fully unleash its power against it for fear of repercussions on the Path of Yin Immortals, which created mental barriers.
In reality, if it were defeated by the Bone-less Sorcerer or suffered injuries because of its caution, the consequences would be far worse than any mental barriers caused by offending the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron. Its inability to think flexibly and excessive caution were detrimental, and Lu Chen felt a sense of anxiety for it.
Hiding in the clouds, Lu Chen opened his big eyes to assess the situation. He leisurely shifted to another corner to get closer to them. Given his nature, it was inevitable that he would take advantage of the situation.
However, the Bone-less Sorcerer and Treasure Guardian Beast were both formidable opponents; one was a solid line while the other was a half-solid line. The saying "a skinny camel is bigger than a horse" applied here; this bone was not easy to chew, and he needed to be fully prepared.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen licked his lips and took out an Earth Nanmu Wood Box from his pocket. He opened it to reveal a waxy yellow pill about the size of a fingertip.
This pill was a reward from Supreme Master Taihuang of the Five Element Sect for True Disciples, incredibly precious and only obtainable by them.
To rightfully acquire it, Lu Chen risked being hunted down and waited in the Empty Mountain Cave for three nights until the Five Element Sect acknowledged his status as a True Disciple before leaving with the Active Longevity Pill.
As soon as the box was opened, a rich fragrance of high-quality medicine wafted into his nostrils, refreshing him immensely.
This Longevity Pill was crafted from flesh cut from Supreme Emperor's own immortal body, mixed with top-tier nourishing herbs, which is why it exuded such a medicinal aroma.
Inferior herbs typically turned black after refinement and emitted foul odors. In contrast, high-quality herbs turned golden after refinement, resembling golden soup or jade liquid, with an exquisite fragrance that far surpassed that of inferior herbs.
The Active Longevity Pill can extend one's lifespan by five years and enhance Qigong cultivation, something that cannot be bought with any amount of money in reality.
Lu Chen carefully pinched the pill with two fingers and placed it in his mouth, chewing it.
Immediately, the pure fragrance of the medicine transformed into a rich and delightful flavor, lingering in his mouth with a hint of sweetness.
The most notable characteristic of the Longevity Pill is the word "live." Its vitality is aptly described; even when consumed, it continues to wriggle like a worm.
The Supreme Emperor is a Qi Master from the Elysium of Longevity, with a lifespan exceeding one hundred fifty years. His flesh has undergone a qualitative transformation, unlike that of a Mortal Body, allowing him to take root away from the ground.
Taking root away from the ground refers to certain miraculous plants and flowers that do not wither when pulled from the earth; instead, they continue to grow vigorously. This phenomenon is known as taking root away from the ground.
The blood and flesh of a Longevity Qi Master possess this miraculous effect; even if severed from the body, they remain alive and retain the unique properties of a Longevity Qi Master, which is longevity itself.
When the flesh of the Supreme Emperor is refined into pills, ordinary people who consume them can increase their lifespan, deriving from the primal power of the Elysium of Longevity Qi Master.
After consuming the Active Longevity Pill, Lu Chen could feel many living creatures, like numerous worms, burrowing into his bones and blood vessels, crawling throughout his body.
Not daring to delay, Lu Chen immediately sat cross-legged among the clouds, using the thick clouds as cover to begin refining the medicinal power of the Longevity Pill and adjusting his flesh.
Below him, a fierce battle had already commenced between the Bone-less Sorcerer and the Treasure Guardian Beast, entangled on the wide beach.
The Treasure Guardian Beast opened its mouth wide and unleashed a massive burst of flames that scorched mountains and boiled seas, fiercely directed at the Bone-less Sorcerer.
The Bone-less Sorcerer did not evade; instead, he casually struck out a wave of Yin Yuan Power, drawing upon local materials to create a massive wave that enveloped the flames spewed forth by the Treasure Guardian Beast.
Suddenly, water and fire collided in the sky, the gentle coldness of water clashing with the fierce masculinity of fire, each restraining the other as they rapidly exchanged blows.
In the end, a massive explosion erupted, scattering like waves of water, causing both the Treasure Guardian Beast and the Bone-less Sorcerer to sustain injuries.
The Treasure Guardian Beast quickly pushed off with its limbs, leaping into the air to evade. Its agile body soared, running a circle along the coastline before landing back at its original position.
The Bone-less Sorcerer was similarly affected, being knocked back by the shockwave. However, the Yin Spirit was much more agile and could fly unlike the Flesh, which could not manifest freely.
The Bone-less Sorcerer vanished into thin air, transforming into a streak of lightning that retreated several hundred meters away. Once the shockwave dissipated, it reappeared in its true form, Dharmakaya, flying back and landing steadily on the ground.
The Treasure Guardian Beast roared, its copper bell-like eyes filled with fierce light. Its tall body trembled as its blood surged violently; a strong Yang Qi Flame erupted from within, engulfing its entire body.
At that moment, the Treasure Guardian Beast resembled a fire qilin, its entire being ablaze with roaring flames. However, this fire was not ordinary wood fire but rather blood fire—the primal fire of a divine beast.
The Treasure Guardian Beast let out a mighty roar as the flames began to contract from its tail towards its head, forming a massive fireball.
Under the Treasure Guardian Beast's control, the fireball transformed from blood energy into various shapes—fire rings, fireballs, swirling flames—each more bizarre than the last.
Seeing such a display, the Bone-less Sorcerer couldn't help but take a step back. The Qi Master’s blood energy was undoubtedly a nemesis to all Yin Spirits; even Void Immortals were not exempt. Only Yin Immortals would not be restrained since they could counteract the Qi Master's blood energy.
Witnessing the Treasure Guardian Beast unleash such intense blood fire made the Bone-less Sorcerer feel somewhat uneasy; as a Yin Spirit, it could not escape its fate of being restrained.
The Vitality Fireball spewed forth by the Treasure Guardian Beast flew through the air, turning everything in its path to ashes.
The Bone-less Sorcerer took two steps back and then coldly snorted, raising its hand to throw out the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron.
The Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron grew larger in the wind, comparable to a grinding wheel or water tank, soaring into the sky and blocking the Vitality Fireball of the Treasure Guardian Beast. The two collided fiercely, neither yielding.
After transforming, the Nine-Five Cauldron and the Vitality Fireball resembled two enormous mechanical wheels, grinding and rotating violently in the sky, with sounds of explosions and thunder echoing continuously.
The Treasure Guardian Beast closed its eyes, feeling an ominous premonition. The guilt of its aggressive actions had cast a shadow over its mind, and at that moment, it showed signs of being hindered even when trying to control the Vitality Fireball.
Sure enough, not long after, an explosion from the Vitality Fireball occurred. Due to a delay in communication with Yin Yuan, it was ultimately annihilated by the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron.
The blood fire emitted by the Treasure Guardian Beast originated from its own essence. With its mind clouded by obstacles, it was only natural for the blood fire to weaken.
The Bone-less Sorcerer laughed heartily and unleashed a wave of Yin Yuan Power to retrieve the Nine-Five Cauldron. He then hurled it fiercely toward the unsuspecting Treasure Guardian Beast.
Caught off guard and unable to evade in time, the Treasure Guardian Beast was struck hard and sent flying backward, nearly falling into the sea.
The Bone-less Sorcerer’s eyes gleamed with excitement; he showed no signs of stopping. With a swing of his arm, the Nine-Five Cauldron soared into the air, erupting with intense Imperial Gold Energy that enveloped the Treasure Guardian Beast.
As the Treasure Guardian Beast stood up from the ground, a look of struggle appeared on its face. It murmured to itself, "Another wave of Imperial Gold Energy. This time, without that child reminding me like before and no one to shield me from it, I find it difficult to resist this Imperial Gold Energy on my own."
There was a hint of sadness in the Treasure Guardian Beast's tone. It harbored a deep-seated fear of both the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron and Imperial Gold Energy, let alone engaging them directly.
When it was in the Gobi Desert, it managed to repel both the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron and Imperial Gold Energy at once by relying on Lu Chen and White-Browed Ancestor who shielded it while it exerted its strength from behind.
It feared Imperial Gold Energy and Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron, but White-Browed Ancestor and Lu Chen were unafraid. They stood in front to block the restraining power that Imperial Gold Energy posed to the Treasure Guardian Beast while it contributed significantly from behind.
However, that was no longer possible; there was no one left to shield the Treasure Guardian Beast from the Nine-Five Cauldron and Imperial Gold Energy. This time, it could only rely on itself.
But the real outcome seems to be somewhat unfavorable!
The Bone-less Sorcerer laughed heartily, soaring into the air and stepping onto the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron, then unleashing powerful primordial energy to control the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron, pressing it down hard towards the Treasure Guardian Beast.
The Treasure Guardian Beast let out a painful roar and muttered to itself, "Ah, this is fate, this is fate. I don't want that batch of Treasure; humans won't spare me either. Such is life."
The Bone-less Sorcerer maneuvered the Nine-Five Cauldron, gradually pressing down closer and closer to the Treasure Guardian Beast. In just a little while, the Treasure Guardian Beast would become his possession.
Once he had the Treasure Guardian Beast, along with the Nine-Five Dragon Cauldron, the Gaochang Ancient Kingdom would possess two treasures passed down from the Former Han Dynasty. In the future, during the era of competing warlords in Central Plains, they would have a place at the table.
Thinking of this, the Bone-less Sorcerer couldn't help but laugh loudly, his expression filled with endless greed.
At the same time, Lu Chen suddenly stood up from within the clouds, peering down below.
He was fully aware of the fierce battle between the Bone-less Sorcerer and the Treasure Guardian Beast. However, he had been focused on refining the effects of the Longevity Pill and enhancing his Qigong cultivation.
