"You think you can refine me? You're still far from capable." The Di-grade Embryonic Pill cast a glance at the four people before it and spoke indifferently.
Facing four adversaries, three of whom stood at the pinnacle of the continent as Nine-Star Dou Sheng powerhouses, the Di-grade Embryonic Pill displayed terrifying strength, even surpassing the level of Sheng-ranked experts, reaching the realm of Half-Step Dou Di!
Thus, as its words fell, Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan's faces immediately darkened. Clearly, they hadn't expected that despite their lofty positions for so many years, there would come a day when they were looked down upon.
"Heh, you're celebrating too soon!"
Just as the Di-grade Embryonic Pill finished speaking, Nihility Devouring Flame suddenly let out a cold laugh. Then, turning to Hun Tiandi, he said in a deep voice, "Give me the Tuo She Ancient Jade!"
Hearing this, Hun Tiandi was momentarily stunned. After a brief hesitation, he decisively took out the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade and tossed it to Nihility Devouring Flame.
Grasping the jade, Nihility Devouring Flame gave the Di-grade Embryonic Pill a sinister smile. Without hesitation, he bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of black blood infused with dark flames onto the jade. At the same time, his hands swiftly formed a series of eerie and complex hand seals.
As his actions unfolded, the towering Ancient Emperor's stone statue began to move. Even more astonishing, the seals formed by the stone statue's hands were identical to the ones Nihility Devouring Flame had just executed!
"Buzz! Buzz!"
As Nihility Devouring Flame's hand seals changed rapidly, the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade in front of him suddenly began to tremble violently.
A moment later, gentle waves of light rippled outward. The jade quivered, transforming into a radiant halo shimmering with multicolored hues!
The ring glowed in a dazzling spectrum, and within it, flames flickered like dancing spirits, exuding an aura of profound mystery.
"The Pill-Refining Ring! How could you possibly know the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Pill Refining Art?!"
Upon seeing the formation of the glowing ring, the once-cold and indifferent Di-grade Embryonic Pill's expression drastically changed, and its voice trembled with shock and fear.
Nihility Devouring Flame merely sneered without answering. With a flick of his palm, the brilliant halo shot forth in an instant, appearing above the Di-grade Embryonic Pill's head. The radiant rings of flame expanded one after another, completely engulfing its figure.
"Ahhh!"
As the fiery rings coiled around its body, wisps of white smoke began to seep from the Di-grade Embryonic Pill. A shrill scream erupted from it.
Seeing this, Nihility Devouring Flame's eyes gleamed with delight. Clearly, he hadn't expected the Pill-Refining Ring to be so effective in restraining the Di-grade Embryonic Pill.
Without hesitation, he spat another mouthful of black flame-infused blood onto the ring. Instantly, the flames intensified, growing fiercer. Meanwhile, the Di-grade Embryonic Pill's body began to shrink, showing clear signs of reverting to its original pill form.
The sudden shift in the battle stunned everyone. A moment ago, the Di-grade Embryonic Pill had been brimming with arrogance, yet in the blink of an eye, it was now in such a miserable state.
Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun's expressions darkened. A cold glint flickered in their eyes as they exchanged a glance.
Without hesitation, they instantly charged toward Nihility Devouring Flame. It was evident that Nihility Devouring Flame's ability to use the Pill-Refining Ring was largely due to the power of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade!
"Hmph!"
Anticipating their attack, Hun Tiandi let out a cold snort. His figure flickered and appeared in front of them, flicking his fingers. Several pills infused with potent medicinal energy shot toward Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun before detonating violently!
"Boom! Boom!"
Waves of energy surged as Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun were forced to halt their advance. Their expressions turned cold. Zhu Kun sneered, "Self-destructing ninth-grade Treasure Pills—quite the extravagant move!"
As soon as he spoke, the two flanked Hun Tiandi from both sides, launching a barrage of fierce attacks that surrounded him.
"Bang! Bang!"
Despite being powerful, Hun Tiandi immediately fell into a disadvantage against the combined might of Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun. Forced into a defensive stance, he appeared somewhat beleaguered.
However, understanding the stakes of the situation, Hun Tiandi gritted his teeth and unleashed his full strength, desperately fending off Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun.
"Get lost!"
After exchanging several blows, Zhu Kun's eyes flashed with a savage light. With a deep roar, a colossal dragon spanning tens of thousands of feet materialized in the sky. In the next instant, the dragon transformed into a beam of purple-gold light, striking Hun Tiandi with blinding speed.
"Pfft!"
The dazzling purple-gold beam shattered Hun Tiandi's formidable Dou Qi defense and struck his body directly. Blood spurted from his mouth as he was sent flying thousands of meters before barely managing to stabilize himself.
"Seal!"
As Hun Tiandi reeled from the impact, Nihility Devouring Flame let out a sharp cry. In that moment, the Di-grade Embryonic Pill had no power to resist and was completely sealed within the Pill-Refining Ring, transforming into a radiant orb the size of a human head, floating within the ring.
Seeing this, Nihility Devouring Flame was overjoyed. With a wave of his hand, the Pill-Refining Ring shot toward him like a streak of lightning. However, just as he was about to grasp it, a figure suddenly appeared before him and snatched the ring away!
This unexpected turn of events startled Nihility Devouring Flame. His gaze locked onto the disheveled yet determined figure before him—Hun Tiandi.
"Hand over the Di-grade Embryonic Pill. In your current state, even with Nihility Devouring Flame, you're no match for us," Gu Yuan said darkly, his tone filled with menace.
Zhu Kun clenched his fists tightly, his expression ferocious as he glared at Hun Tiandi.
"You want the Di-grade Embryonic Pill?" Hun Tiandi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and turned his gaze toward the radiant orb within the Pill-Refining Ring. It shimmered like a galaxy, drawing in the energy of the heavens and earth.
Fixing his eyes on the dazzling orb, a sinister smile crept onto Hun Tiandi's face. Then, under the horrified gazes of everyone present, he suddenly opened his mouth wide and swallowed the Di-grade Embryonic Pill whole!
He had actually consumed the Di-grade Embryonic Pill directly—an act that was nothing short of suicidal!
"This lunatic..."
Watching this, Xiao Yan, who stood beside Mo Yu, muttered in disbelief.
Even though it was just a nascent pill, the energy contained within it was utterly terrifying. A single misstep could result in his body and soul being torn apart!
Hun Tiandi's actions were clearly an act of sheer desperation!
Mo Yu's expression also changed. In the end, Hun Tiandi had still managed to get his hands on the Di-grade Embryonic Pill, just as he had in the original timeline.
Although Mo Yu had anticipated this outcome, he couldn't help but feel a growing pressure. Nihility Devouring Flame and Hun Tiandi had acted too swiftly, catching him completely off guard.
Now, with the power of the Di-grade Embryonic Pill, Hun Tiandi had likely reached the Half-Step Dou Di level. And once he fully refined the pill, he would truly step into the realm of Dou Di!
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, both Zhu Kun and Gu Yuan's expressions darkened further. Their eyes burned with murderous intent as they roared, "Hun Tiandi, you're courting death!"
"Haha, courting death? Not necessarily!"
Hearing this, Hun Tiandi burst into laughter, his expression turning eerily strange. At the same time, dazzling radiance surged from within his body.
The injuries inflicted by Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun's joint attack healed in an instant, and waves of terrifying energy fluctuations seeped out from him, making hearts tremble.
Sensing that Hun Tiandi's aura had suddenly grown several times stronger, Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun's expressions changed drastically.
"Don't give him the chance to refine it! As long as we capture him quickly, we can force the Di-grade Embryonic Pill out of his body!" Zhu Kun's expression turned grave as he shouted, "Attack!"
Hearing this, Gu Yuan nodded.
With a sharp swish, the two moved as one, their figures shooting across the sky like lightning toward Hun Tiandi.
"Haha, you two are no longer my match!" Seeing them charge at him again, Hun Tiandi showed no fear, laughing as he clenched his fists and suddenly struck out.
Boom!
With his fists thrown forward, the sky itself was torn apart, creating two massive vacuum zones spanning thousands of feet.
Feeling the abrupt increase in the terrifying force, Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun's faces changed. They quickly mobilized their Dou Qi to counter, and in an instant, two deafening explosions erupted across the sky.
Thud! Thud!
A devastating storm of destruction exploded from the clash, sending Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun flying back hundreds of meters.
In contrast, Hun Tiandi remained standing tall in the sky, the terrifying fluctuations from his body growing even stronger.
"Gu Yuan, in this struggle, I have ultimately won!"
Stepping through the void, Hun Tiandi looked down at Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun, laughing loudly. After years of preparation and planning, he had finally reached the most critical step!
"You think you've won? Your body must be suffering too! Don't celebrate too soon!" Gu Yuan sneered coldly.
"Rest assured, I know my limits. However, today's battle must come to an early end. The next time we meet will be the day my Hun Clan rules the Dou Qi Continent!"
Hun Tiandi smiled faintly, then traced his finger through the space beside him, instantly tearing open a spatial rift.
"Don't let him escape!"
Seeing this, Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun's expressions darkened. They naturally knew Hun Tiandi's intentions. There was no way they could let him retreat safely to refine the Di-grade Embryonic Pill. Immediately, they unleashed a barrage of ferocious attacks toward him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Their assaults became increasingly frenzied, their terrifying Dou Qi beams tearing through the void, constantly striking Hun Tiandi's protective energy barrier and causing violent ripples.
Yet, this time, Hun Tiandi completely ignored them. Instead, he reached out and forcibly absorbed the Hun Clan experts below, tossing them into the spatial rift without hesitation.
Bang! Bang!
Explosive waves of destruction erupted behind him. Hun Tiandi's face twitched slightly, and a streak of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Clearly, even he wasn't entirely unscathed under Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun's relentless bombardment.
"Gu Yuan, I told you—this battle is mine to win! Once I have fully refined the Di-grade Embryonic Pill, that will be the day your Gu Clan, Lei Clan, Yan Clan, Yuan Manor, Sky Mansion Alliance, and the Ancient Void Dragon Clan all vanish from this world!"
Forcibly swallowing the blood in his mouth, Hun Tiandi turned his gaze toward Gu Yuan and the others, his voice filled with chilling menace.
"Let's go!"
With that, Hun Tiandi grabbed Nihility Devouring Flame and shot into the spatial rift. Seeing this, Nihility Devouring Flame grew anxious and shouted, "What about me—"
Before he could finish, he noticed several deep wounds cracking open on Hun Tiandi's neck. Understanding that the latter was no longer in a condition to fight, he gritted his teeth and leaped into the rift as well.
Roar!
Seeing Hun Tiandi successfully tear open the spatial barrier, Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun's expressions shifted once more. With a low growl, the energy tides of heaven and earth surged violently and flooded toward Hun Tiandi like a tsunami.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The devastating energy waves, heavy as mountains, slammed into Hun Tiandi's back. His face instantly paled, his body bursting open with gruesome wounds, fresh blood spraying out, dyeing him crimson in the blink of an eye.
However, using this force, Hun Tiandi and Nihility Devouring Flame propelled themselves directly into the spatial rift, disappearing in a flash. The rift then quickly dissipated.
Whoosh!
Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun rushed toward where the rift had been, their palms brimming with terrifying energy as they forcefully tore at the space. However, the space merely trembled slightly—no rift appeared.
"Damn it!"
Watching Hun Tiandi and the others escape, Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun's expressions turned extremely grim. They had just let a tiger return to the mountain—this was going to be a huge problem.
Their faces darkened as they slowly descended from the sky, looking at the equally silent crowd. In the end, they could only sigh.
"Daughter, that bastard is far too cunning…" Zhu Kun looked at Zi Yan, rubbing his hands with a wry smile.
Zi Yan glanced at him, then shifted her gaze to Mo Yu, who was also silent. Shaking her head slightly, she asked in a soft voice, "What now? Hun Tiandi has obtained the Di-grade Embryonic Pill. If he successfully refines it, it will be an utter disaster."
"We must march on the Hun Realm immediately!" Lei Ying growled, his expression ferocious.
Hearing this, Mo Yu looked around at the others and saw the worry in their eyes.
To most people, if Hun Tiandi broke through to Dou Di, there would be no one left in the world to restrain him. Given his vengeful nature, the allied forces would undoubtedly face complete annihilation.
Though Mo Yu was also concerned, he knew this was not yet the moment of absolute despair. At the very least, Wind Emperor still held a portion of his unique Emperor's Origin Essence.
Moreover, Xiao Yan's chance to become an emperor was likely drawing near.
"No need to overthink. We must gather our forces and head to the Hun Realm immediately. As long as we don't give him time to refine the Di-grade Embryonic Pill, he will be destroyed by its power before we even need to act!"
Taking a deep breath, Gu Yuan spoke in a solemn voice.
Hearing this, Mo Yu nodded as well, though he knew he would have to make a trip to the Northwestern Continent first…
