words, Han Yunji’s eyes grew cold as well, taking them as an insult to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snorted, “Big talk might just twist your tongue, let’s see the real skills under your hands!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, around Han Yunji’s body, a faint Spiritual Barrier appeared, protecting him within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body swiftly swept forward and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Hua Tiance, a tremendous energy in his palm that had already gathered and he fiercely struck towards Hua Tiance’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Tiance sneered, stepping back, Han Yunji’s attack hit only his afterimage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Hua Tiance drew his sword and delivered a slash through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Astonishing Sword Light shot forth, coming straight at him, causing Han Yunji’s complexion to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exerted force with his left foot, leaping to the right side, narrowly avoiding Hua Tiance’s Sword Light and brushing past him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Destruction Palm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his body dodged to the side, Han Yunji once again unleashed a palm, fierce as a tsunami, overwhelming and covering Hua Tiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Tiance coldly snorted, his sword slashing again, and in an instant, sharp Sword Light flew once more, launching several strands of Sword Qi simultaneously, shattering Han Yunji’s Hand Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not retreat but advanced, turning into a black shadow, rapidly swooping towards Han Yunji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Defeating you, for me, is a piece of cake!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Han Yunji could react, he caught the cold voice of Hua Tiance, carrying disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dazzling Sword Light flashed by, and the next moment, everyone could see Han Yunji’s body being flung backwards, a spurt of blood erupting from his mouth as he fell beneath the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his chest, the searing pain of a cut surged, Hua Tiance’s sword had penetrated his Protective Barrier, leaving a sword mark from which blood oozed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, the Spiritual Barrier had absorbed some of the impact, otherwise, without a doubt, that very sword would have left Han Yunji dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t expect the victory to be decided so quickly…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the spectator seats, everyone was momentarily stunned, then surprise appeared on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There is some disparity in cultivation between the two, but Han Yunji’s quick defeat suggests that Hua Tiance’s strength is much greater indeed…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sword Cultivators specialize in combat, Han Yunji is a Pill Sect disciple, focusing on Alchemy, likely lacking practical experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outcome of this battle is not unexpected.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Tiance leaped, leaving the stage directly and arriving before Fang Tianzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bowed, “I have not dishonored your command, I haven’t let the Great Elder down!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Tianzhou nodded, looking at him with approval, then shifted his gaze to Lin Xuantian, “Heh, Pill King, it seems the Sword Sect has won this first battle…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuantian took a deep breath, a slight frown on his brow, as if pondering something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, from the direction of the Sword Sect, another sword-wielding disciple launched into the air, landing on the stage, “Sword Sect’s Bei Wenbai is here to learn from all Pill Sect brothers!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you okay?” Below the stage, a few Pill Sect disciples helped the defeated Han Yunji up, and then one of them stepped forward, his gaze on Bei Wenbai on the high platform, “I’ll meet you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pill Sect’s Shao Tianyu!” Like Han Yunji, he was a fourth-grade Inheritance Disciple, with cultivation at the first level of the Returning Ruins Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Both seem to be at the first layer of the Returning Ruins Realm, with equal strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Pill Sect still loses this battle…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the audience, Elders from various minor forces also noticed Bei Wenbai and Shao Tianyu’s cultivation levels and started discussing in hushed tones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous first battle saw the Sword Sect holding the advantage in cultivation, so it was inevitable that the Pill Sect would be defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, in this second battle, as both participants had equal cultivation levels, if the Pill Sect were to lose again, that would mean two consecutive losses, resulting in a complete loss of face for the Pill Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, after a few simple exchanges, Shao Tianyu of the Pill Sect found himself at a disadvantage and soon after, was knocked off the stage by Bei Wenbai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was covered with sword scars and blood seeped out; although the wounds were only superficial, his appearance looked extremely wretched!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Pill Sect has lost again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even with equal cultivation, they were defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems that among the younger generation of both sects, the Sword Sect is much stronger…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a buzz of discussion among the audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, today was supposed to be the grand Alchemy competition day for the Pill Sect, meant to showcase their talented disciples to all the other forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Sword Sect had also chosen today to pay their respects, and it was quite clear what their intentions were—to outshine the Pill Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, the Sword Sect had indeed achieved their goal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With two consecutive defeats, the disciples of the Pill Sect visibly had looks of displeasure on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a figure leaped onto the stage, casting a cold glance towards the Sword Sect and spoke with a slight bow, “Dongfang Ming of the Pill Sect, please enlighten me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dongfang Ming?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s one of the few fifth-grade Inheritance Disciples of the Pill Sect!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A fifth-grade Inheritance Disciple represents the true elite of the Pill Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t expect him to enter the fray so soon…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s out of desperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With two losses in a row, if the Pill Sect doesn’t win a match and regain some face, wouldn’t they be a laughingstock?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go, Senior Brother Dongfang!” Upon seeing Dongfang Ming take the stage, a flicker of hope briefly appeared in the eyes of the Pill Sect’s disciples; Dongfang Ming was indeed a true prodigy of the Pill Sect, with the cultivation of the fourth layer of the Returning Ruins Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pill Sect was now desperately longing for a victory to wash away the shame of the previous two defeats!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So at this moment, the expectations placed on Dongfang Ming were very high!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A fifth-grade Inheritance Disciple, huh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the direction of the Sword Sect, Fang Tianzhou looked at Dongfang Ming and easily discerned his cultivation level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled faintly, “We can’t let people say we took advantage, Jian Qi, you also hold the fourth layer cultivation of the Returning Ruins Realm, quite a match, so you will take the stage…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing behind Fang Tianzhou, the man known as Jian Qi stepped out and leaped gracefully onto the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jian Qi?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Sword Sect has seven elite disciples, among them Jian Qi is the weakest while Jian Yi is the strongest, second only to the Saint Heir Sikong Yi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They are both elite disciples of their respective sects; this battle might be quite something to watch!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the audience, faces were alight with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No one within the same realm can withstand my three swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are quite capable, so you should be able to take four,” Jian Qi said with a hint of chill in his eyes as he looked at Dongfang Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dongfang Ming frowned; the other indeed gave him an immense sense of oppression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man’s swordsmanship was extraordinary, yet they were of equal cultivation, and yet he claimed Dongfang Ming would only withstand four swords—to him, this was an utter contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snorted coldly, “Make your move!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: More updates to come later, please wait…\u003C\u002Fp>",1263,"2026-06-03T09:27:00.786Z","2026-06-03T09:27:07.255Z",1,"novelbin.me","63af5b9f49ab536af6580e483670957c031c919163cd22549aac469a39d3e0b8","alchemy-sovereign-against-the-heaven-chapter-218","alchemy-sovereign-against-the-heaven-chapter-216",1897,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Falchemy-sovereign-against-the-heaven-cover.jpg"]
