Chapter 727: Qi Tian Dies, Smelting the Mysterious Snake

Pfft.

Qi Jian slipped and fell to the ground, his body covered in slime, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He stared in fear at Chen Chuyang; just one slap sent him flying.

He didn't even see Chen Chuyang's attack before he was crippled; if not for the Grand Tai Sui alleviating most of the force, he would have been ruined on the spot.

Chen Chuyang's strength was far beyond what he could contend with; Qi Jian swallowed a pill, barely recovered a breath, then slowly stood up.

He dared not strike again, watching helplessly as Chen Chuyang took the Grand Tai Sui core; the Old Ancestor Qi Tian offered no resistance, seemingly handing the Grand Tai Sui directly to Chen Chuyang.

The formation flashed with light; countless Grand Tai Sui flesh and blood poured into the formation, becoming part of it.

The Grand Tai Sui core was taken, the formation flashed, absorbing the remaining Grand Tai Sui flesh and blood.

The Grand Tai Sui flesh and blood occupying the space quickly drained, flowing toward the formation; Chen Chuyang examined the Grand Tai Sui core in his palm, confirming it was genuine, non-toxic, and harmless.

He swiftly sealed the Grand Tai Sui core, set up a series of formations to cut off its connection to the surrounding Grand Tai Sui, then satisfactorily stored it inside the Primordial Bell, using the bell to isolate it once more.

After doing this, Chen Chuyang saw the formation: half of the Grand Tai Sui flesh and blood had been devoured, becoming the formation's sacrificial energy.

Heishanyang dared not devour those Grand Tai Sui flesh and blood, returning to Chen Chuyang's side with a satisfied expression: 'Comfortable, kid; this time I've truly eaten my fill.'

'It's been a long time since I've felt this full.'

Heishanyang swayed its body, each step feeling arduous.

The Grand Tai Sui core—he wouldn't even dare think about it; with the Grand Tai Sui core, future cravings for Grand Tai Sui meat would be abundant.

Whatever belongs to Chen Chuyang belongs to it.

'Are you not going to eat the remaining Grand Tai Sui meat?'

Heishanyang shook its head: 'No, I can't eat it.'

That Grand Tai Sui flesh and blood, though it wanted to eat, could not; it was all devoured by the formation.

'Kid, aren't you going to stop him?'

That formation, together with the Mysterious Snake below, is rapidly swelling.

Qi Tian's soul, having broken free from the Grand Tai Sui, merged with the Mysterious Snake.

Conversely, it devoured the Grand Tai Sui flesh and blood, using the Grand Tai Sui's energy to aid its own transformation.

All of this was within his calculations; the arrival of Chen Chuyang and others was also anticipated.

Heishanyang felt resentful; the sensation of being schemed against was truly nauseating.

Chen Chuyang waved his hand: 'Don't rush; let him transform slowly—I want to see if he can succeed.'

The power of the Grand Tai Sui flesh and blood is not so easily devoured.

To rely on the Grand Tai Sui's power to elevate oneself—how could it be so easy?

Moreover, the Mysterious Snake will not easily bow its head.

That Mysterious Snake is clearly extraordinary; bound here, it would never willingly submit… like this.

'Roar.'

Under the formation, the Mysterious Snake raised its head and roared, emitting a mournful, piercing cry.

Its body began to show cracks.

Its eyes instantly turned blood-red.

On top of its head, two strands of contending souls appeared.

Qi Tian's soul and the Mysterious Snake's own soul struggled, vying for control of the body.

How familiar this scene is.

Li Shenghong said: 'The Mysterious Snake is not so easily replaced; its soul will resist anyone who enters its body.'

'Chen Chuyang, act now, cut off his last hope, let him become the Mysterious Snake's belly contents.'

Qi Ruohua urged: 'Chen Chuyang, make your move.'

Just in case, we should strike first.

We must not allow… Qi Tian to complete his transformation, nor let him leave this place.

That snake must die.

Qi Tian must also die.

Qi Ruohua wants to control the Great Qi Dynasty, to fully command the Imperial Luck Golden Dragon; Qi Tian must die here.

Not only Qi Tian, but Qi Jian as well must stay.

Chen Chuyang turned, looking at Qi Ruohua, who anxiously said: 'Hurry up; if you don't act, I will.'

Qi Ruohua could bear it no longer; she did not want to see Qi Tian succeed in devouring.

Chen Chuyang helplessly waved his hand: 'Fine, since you demand it, I have no choice but to act.'

He reached out.

The Alchemy Furnace appeared in his palm; Chen Chuyang had originally planned to wait until Qi Tian fully merged and transformed, then smelt his body, which would enhance the pill's effect by at least two grades.

Doing it now would yield a much poorer result, not his first choice.

Even if Qi Tian succeeded in merging, he could not stir up any storm.

'Go.'

The Alchemy Furnace expanded; the Giant Dragon Alchemy Furnace broke through the formation, enveloping the Mysterious Snake below.

Qi Tian wanted to resist, to flee; he sensed danger, but the Mysterious Snake's soul would not give him a chance, seizing the moment to tear and bite him.

'Damn it.'

Qi Tian watched helplessly as the Alchemy Furnace appeared above his head, enveloping him.

Immediately, inside the Alchemy Furnace, all formations activated.

Pill Fire blazed, amplified by the formations, and the flames instantly filled the entire space.

Inside the Alchemy Furnace, the Pill Fire blazed.

The Black Snake's massive body was entirely flames.

"Ah!"

A miserable cry rang out; Qi Tian's soul suffered heavy injury, and the Black Snake's soul was the same.

The Black Snake wanted to kill Qi Tian; after so many years of torment and imprisonment, its soul loathed Qi Tian utterly, and even in death it would drag Qi Tian down with it.

The Black Snake's deranged soul held only vengeance, only the desire to kill Qi Tian.

And Qi Tian was entangled, being torn apart.

He wanted to resist, wanted to escape, but there was nothing he could do.

"Kid, don't."

"Kid, I am willing to submit to you."

"Son, do you really want to watch your father die?"

"Don't kill me."

"No!"

Li Shenghong crossed his arms, unmoved.

His eyes fixed on Qi Tian and the Black Snake as they were gradually refined by the Alchemy Furnace, their bodies swiftly shrinking.

The Pill Fire burned, purging impurities.

Qi Tian's soul followed, being burned and refined.

The Pill Fire and Formation inside the Alchemy Furnace care not who they are, nor do they give them a chance to resist.

Countless Pill Flames roared, engulfing the Black Snake, whose body shrank to one-tenth its size.

Still shrinking, the souls of Qi Tian and the Black Snake were the first to undergo refinement, unable to resist.

Qi Jian drew his sword, intending to strike, but Chen Chuyang glanced at him, and Qi Jian stood frozen, afraid to move.

His body trembled, the blade trembling with it, unable to draw that sword.

He felt as if death awaited; should he dare to act, he would die instantly.

Qi Ruohua gazed at the Alchemy Furnace, at Qi Tian within it, and at the terrifying Black Snake, powerless to resist.

Looking again at Chen Chuyang, her beautiful eyes were filled only with him.

"Just how strong is he?"

Even as strong as Qi Tian, he is no more than a single move's opponent.

Crushing, instant kill—Qi Tian was completely overwhelmed, yet Chen Chuyang was merely toying with him.

"As expected, Chen Chuyang is truly the strongest."

With him present, Qi Ruohua felt at ease.

Zhuge Ruolan witnessed Qi Tian being refined to death in the Alchemy Furnace, his soul dissipating; at that moment, Zhuge Ruolan laughed.

"Hahaha."

"Hahaha."

"Finally dead, Zhuge family clanspeople, did you see? The murderer is dead; I have finally avenged you."

"Father, Mother, daughter has done it."

Zhuge Ruolan knelt, offering sacrifices to her deceased parents and departed clanspeople.

For this day, she had waited how many years, struggled how many years.

At last, at last, it was over.
