Chapter 2206.1: Shennong Life Restoring Pill

The Sword of Chaos struck right at the center of the blackish-red pillar of light. An agonized scream rang out from it as countless scarlet beast or humanoid forms drifted apart as dust.

A dragon of black and red and five thousand kilometers long reared back with a proud croon, charging out the moment the light vanished. It came with a stomach-turning presence that induced waves of nausea in all living beings within five thousand kilometers. Even empyrean, true, august, and divine immortals staggered backward and retched.

The Human Emperor waved the Sword of Chaos again without a shift in expression and slammed it down on the dragon.

BAM!

A heaven-shaking collision rang out, vaporizing any immortals caught in the sound wave. The Human Emperor paled as a trickle of blood the width of his thumb dribbled out of his mouth. One of the eight titled kings behind him exploded. The king’s immortal soul was about to flee to safety when the sound wave crushed it to dust.

One of Great Xia’s titled kings had fallen!

Of the thirty-six marquises, six were shaken to dust and left nothing behind.

However, the emperor’s stroke managed to bisect the dragon. After writhing in the air for a while, it fell silent and gradually faded away.

……

The battle took a catastrophic toll. Everyone within five thousand kilometers, be they immortal, cultivator, or other living being, was shaken to dust. Someone as mighty as a Great Xia titled king had fallen, and six of the marquises had perished as well! The rest of the Great Xia delegation was covered with wounds.

The enormous Sword of Chaos in the Human Emperor’s hands began to disperse. In the sky, the tremendous projection of the heavenly book rained down beams of milky-white splendor. They defused the crimson strength lingering in the void, slowly returning the land to normal.

When the Human Emperor waved to it, the projection receded as well. The treasure’s replica and images returned to their places in their master’s hands. As for the ones that belonged to those who’d died, those images returned to the heavenly book in the center of the Celestial Realm Battlefront.

All was not over.

The milky-white power remained in the sky and coalesced into a massive cloud. Pillars of white radiance came into being and blasted the enormous pit, giving a cacophony of inhuman shrieks. There were plainly numerous scarlet creatures still inside the pit.

The cloud conducted its work for three straight days before fading away.

“The rules over Jade Ruins Realm will recover after half a year. Any foreign immortal is not to remain in this world,” the Human Emperor declared expressionlessly, his announcement instantly reaching every corner of the world. He and his delegation disappeared with a wave of his hand, leaving the realm in chaos.

……

“Is it over?” Lu Yun lifted his eyes to the horizon as he sat next to the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth and shook his head. “I didn’t expect that the heavenly book is able to contain those terrible things. No wonder the Human Emperor was willing to provoke them.

“But the power of heaven and earth is needed to counter them, no? So… is the heavenly book formed from the power of the world?” He grew lost in thought as black flames roiled in the dark green cauldron in front of him. Hadal Fire!

The Hadal Bird had long devoured the dragons made of Brahman Fire in the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth. Quite unexpectedly, the cauldron became its nest.

As it wasn’t a true living being, it wasn’t restricted from entering the cauldron. To a fire spirit, it could come and go at will from the treasure.

When Lu Yun first took the cauldron out, the Hadal Bird chirped happily and shot inside like a little black arrow. After that, the dragons of fire become its food.

Fires of heaven and earth could advance through swallowing each other. The Brahman Fire inside the cauldron was rootless fire from the formation’s summons. Seeing as there was no core essence of Brahman Fire within them, they just barely reached the edge of the fires of heaven and earth.

But with the Hadal Bird being a bonafide fire spirit, these rootless flames were a perfect meal. The runes from the Nineheavens Brahman Formation in the cauldron created the perfect conditions to nurture Hadal Fire.

When the Nineheavens Brahman Formation operated, it summoned boundless Brahman Fire from the void. Hadal Fire could continuously devour them to strengthen itself, albeit with limited effect since flames without foundation were too weak. Other than that, the rootless Brahman Fire had no effect on a Hadal Fire Spirit.

The Hadal Bird settled down in the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth and turned the scarlet premises of Brahman Fire into a world of black. Even the power of thunder and lightning that lived within the cauldron was suppressed by the black flames.

At the same time, the treasure’s power increased to a new height with the bird’s residence. Due to the fire spirit, the Hadal Fire within the cauldron didn’t reject Lu Yun. The young man could easily direct it as he wished.

He used the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth as a pill cauldron and sent in hand seals for pill refinement, coalescing the liquid within the treasure. The process swiftly consumed his Hongmeng qi.

“Refining immortal pills is certainly no easy task.” Sensing that his Hongmeng qi was moments away from depletion, one of the spirit crystals hovering in front of him shifted and turned into pure energy that streamed into his body.

One step away from emptying, his body quickly filled with energy again. If anyone learned that a lower rank spirit crystal just barely managed to replenish eight percent of Lu Yun’s Hongmeng qi, they’d likely faint from shock.

A lower rank spirit crystal was sufficient to support a soul separation cultivator for half a month—Lu Yun was just nascent soul! But it was also due to the unique properties of Lu Yun’s Hongmeng qi and its far superior quality that he was able to refine an immortal pill at his level. Otherwise, he would be unable to manage a regular immortal pill no matter his skill and knowledge in pill refinement, to say nothing of the ninth rank Shennong Life Restoring Pill.

It’d been one month since Lu Yun first sat down. Three jade-green pills were taking form in the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, wafting a dense medicinal scent through the area.

Napping over the dragon egg, the gray jiao shook itself awake with a shudder and stared fixedly at the cauldron. Sprawled within the treasure, the Hadal Bird flicked a bored glance at the three immortal pills and looked back down.

……

A thick layer of multicolored clouds formed over the skies of Dark City. Thunder roared through the air and echoed in the vicinity.

“What is that?!” Even beings thousands of kilometers out from the capital noticed the enormous cloud formation and sensed the incredible power of rampaging lightning within.

“It’s… a pill tribulation! A tribulation that occurs only when an immortal pill appears in the world!” Nearby foreign immortals and powerful cultivators immediately recognized the origin of the cloud.

“Can it be that a senior is refining an immortal pill here?” some murmured to themselves as they looked to the horizon. No one dared make a move as the realm was in complete disorder these days. Countless seniors and heavyweights had emerged in the world, so whoever dared refine an immortal pill at this time was no mundane personage.

“An immortal pill! Senior, do you mean that someone is refining an immortal pill in Darklake Empire?” Within the royal capital of Dark Orchid Empire, someone dressed in dragon robes looked ardently at a man in white robes. Naked greed filtered through his eyes—Wang Tianba, the emperor of Dark Orchid.

A domineering and imperious ruler, Wang Tianba’s bearing paled in comparison to the white-robed man in front of him. White Robes was an immortal.

More than ninety percent of the immortals that’d entered Jade Ruins Realm was gathered at Immortal Burial Valley. Very few moved around elsewhere. The valley was fully opened after the Human Emperor of Great Xia left, leaving space for countless ancient treasures, pills, ingredients, and more to manifest in the enormous pit.

It took the world by storm, but also began to live up to its name as most of the immortals and cultivators who ventured in did not return alive.

However, when an awakened cultivator returned with an immortal weapon from the ancient times, immortals on the brink of giving up surged in like a pack of hungry wolves.

The Origin Sect sent in only a few members because they knew that a treasure on par with a high level immortal weapon could be found in Dark City.

……

“Judging from the strength of the tribulation, there is more than one immortal pill that is about to appear.” White Robes licked his lips as he looked to the southern sky. “Capture Lu Tianling. If you manage this task well, then rest assured that you will have your fair share of the immortal pills and weapons.”

“Milord! This emperor will accomplish the task!” Excitement appeared in Wang Tianba’s eyes.
