Chapter 1308: with translation of chapter title

"Damn thing, just you wait—I'll kill you today!"

Being mocked in the face by Xiao Ling, the gold-robed man's anger was through the roof.

He swore that today was the first time since his birth that he had ever been this angry.

However, just as the former roared, Lin Feng in the distance also slowly opened his eyes.

And thinking of the Nine Profound Golden Dragon already subdued by him and Soul Origin Heaven inside the Gate of Deathly Silence, he couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth.

This Ninth-Grade Golden Pill, however, had delivered him a great gift.

"Human brat, return my Thunder Dragon!"

And upon seeing that infuriatingly smug smile of the former, the gold-robed man's mindset collapsed instantly as he roared and charged at Lin Feng.

After all, these two bolts of Nine Profound Golden Lightning were something he had spent nearly ten thousand years to painstakingly forge.

Now that this human brat before him has snatched it away, how could he possibly bear it?

And when Lin Feng saw the former attack, he felt no fear at all, let out a loud shout, and directly went to meet him.

Immediately after, Dou Techniques continually surfaced in the sky only to be shattered, and vast remnants of Dou Qi were flung in all directions, shattering the earth and shaking space.

However, thanks to Xiao Ling's full effort maintaining it, this space could withstand so many high-ranking Dou Saints fighting.

Otherwise, this ruin would have long since shattered beyond repair.

Even so, as the battle among them grew increasingly fierce, Xiao Ling's effort to maintain this space and the seal became ever more difficult.

Lin Feng and the others likewise noticed that the surrounding space was becoming ever more fragile.

Thinking this over, Lin Feng decided he could only wage a war of attrition, aiming for a quick victory.

Immediately, he sent a mental transmission to Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin: 'Xian Er, go help Xiao Nine deal with that Thunder Dragon; Qing Lin, you cooperate with me to wound this Golden Pill, then I will use the Pill Controlling Technique to seize it.'

"Young Master, can you do it?"

Hearing that, Qing Lin's heart immediately felt uncertain.

After all, the gold-robed man was no simple character; although they could defeat him across ranks, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.

But capturing him alive was far more difficult than merely defeating him—three or four times harder, at least.

'There's no choice; if we don't end the battle soon, should I fail to hold on, we'll surely attract a horde of experts coming to seize this Golden Pill.'

Faced with his inquiry, Lin Feng could only respond with a bitter smile.

After all, the Dou Qi of heaven and earth inside this ruin is virtually nonexistent, and Xiao Ling sustains the space and seal using only the Dou Qi stored within her own body.

Moreover, fighting the gold-robed man before him also consumes Dou Qi.

If this continues, the first one to collapse will be none other than himself!

And thinking of this, Lin Feng felt a twinge of regret.

Had he known, he would not have given those two Ninth-Grade Mystic Pills to Phoenix for her breakthrough, but kept them for himself.

Now, even if he possessed an Emperor-Level Soul, he could not replenish Dou Qi from heaven and earth.

"Then it's settled!"

Hearing her young master say that, Qing Lin no longer hesitated and immediately agreed to his plan.

After all, she currently had no better alternative.

Immediately after, Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian exchanged a glance, then swiftly split up, each heading in a different direction.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng, who was entangled with the gold-robed man, exerted all his strength and threw a heavy punch, sending his opponent flying.

"Damn it, this human brat's physique is so tough that even I have to exert effort; among peers, he's far stronger than that old geezer—what the hell is his background!"

Crossing his arms to block that ash-colored fist, his body uncontrollably flew backward, while the gold-robed man couldn't help but grit his teeth and curse inwardly.

It had existed for nearly ten thousand years, and during that long span, I myself had been trapped in the cauldron.

In idle moments, I continually refined the golden lightning and developed my own abilities.

And over such a lengthy accumulation, his development of his own abilities was extremely thorough.

Furthermore, during this period after being released by that woman who entered the ruin last time.

He also digested most of the things the old man left behind.

Moreover, relying on a large stock of Ninth-Grade precious pills and mystic pills in that old man's medicine store, he forcibly broke through his shackles and advanced to Nine-Star Dou Saint.

Furthermore, he still possessed two bolts of Nine Profound Golden Lightning, each half a step into the Nine-Star Dou Saint level.

By ordinary standards, his strength would be top-tier even among early Nine-Star Dou Saints.

But now, he's been reduced to a miserable state by a few human brats of Six-, Seven-, and Eight-Star Dou Saint rank.

He just can't figure it out.

"Cry!"

And while the former's mind was vexed, Lin Feng, who had withdrawn from the battlefield, immediately mobilized his soul power to form a vast illusory Heavenly Phoenix several hundred zhang behind him.

After all, compared to the Yellow Springs Heavenly Fury, the top-tier Heaven-Rank sound wave Dou Technique given by Phoenix is not only more powerful.

Furthermore, it can merge with his Dragon-Phoenix power, further amplifying its might.

Therefore, after mastering this sound wave Dou Technique, he rarely uses the Yellow Springs Heavenly Fury anymore.

"This is... damn it, a sound wave Dou Technique!?"

Seeing the former's move, the gold-robed man, after a brief moment of puzzlement, immediately recognized the type of Dou Technique.

After all, the books he's read during this period weren't for nothing.

He is also somewhat familiar with these Dou Techniques.

Meanwhile, while the former was astonished, Qing Lin on the other side subtly changed her hand seals.

Immediately, a massive illusory form a thousand zhang tall coalesced outside her delicate frame.

At the same time, soul undulations like stormy waves surged wildly from that illusory form in wave after wave.

Now, Qing Lin, whose soul has reached the Emperor level, unleashes the Yellow Springs Heavenly Fury; the enormous figure behind her can hardly be called an illusion any longer.

Because the giant shadow now has rippling light on it, and when this fighting technique was previously used, its somewhat illusory body quickly became much more solid.

No names.

Looking at it, the current phantom appears just like a true giant towering between heaven and earth.

No names.

At the same time, a sovereign-like soul aura burst forth and spread across this relic.

No names.

Anyone touched by this aura, even if Xiao Yixian and Xiao Jiu were not the intended targets, still felt some effect, their faces involuntarily twitching.

Names: Xiao Yixian, Xiao Jiu. Also maybe "Xiao Jiu" is a nickname; we need to include as a name. The glossary didn't give Xiao Jiu; we need to add it.

"Moo!"

No.

A thousand-foot-tall figure surged into view amidst the clouds and mist; the giant suddenly opened its mouth, and in an instant, heaven and earth seemed to fall silent.

No.

Only the already solidified soul sound wave burst forth from the giant's mouth.

No.

Finally, at a speed surpassing light, it heavily struck the emergency fighting technique unleashed by the gold-robed man, whose eyes held a hint of shock.

No name.

However, just as the former was concentrating on defending against the former's sound wave attack, Lin Feng, aided by Celestial Phoenix Speed and Phoenix Roaming Nine Heavens, employed this top-tier heavenly rank body technique martial skill.

Names: Lin Feng. Also techniques: Celestial Phoenix Speed (maybe), Phoenix Roaming Nine Heavens is a top-tier earth-rank movement technique. Also "Heaven Rank Top-Tier Body Technique" is description. We need to list technique names: Celestial Phoenix Speed, Phoenix Roaming Nine Heavens. Also "Heaven Rank" maybe not a name.

Unbeknownst when, he had silently arrived a thousand feet behind the gold-robed man.

No.

"Cry!"

No.

In the next moment, the massive Celestial Phoenix Phantom, several hundred feet tall behind Lin Feng, swooped out fiercely, and before the former could even defend, it suddenly plunged into his mind.

Names: Lin Feng. Technique: Celestial Phoenix Phantom (maybe).

It dealt a heavy blow to his defenseless soul.

No.

"Ah!"

No.

His soul was suddenly injured, and the gold-robed man let out a miserable scream, his hands uncontrollably covering his head.

No.

As for his internal battle qi, it also suddenly paused at this moment, ceasing its flow.

No.

At the same time, the defense in front of the gold-robed man that was blocking the Azure Scale Sound Wave Attack also disappeared due to the loss of battle qi support.

Technique: Azure Scale Sound Wave Attack. Might be a technique name.

And the sound wave, now free of obstruction, instantly became like a playful child.

No.

Eagerly, it penetrated his flesh and entered his mind.

No.

Hit by the two sound wave attacks from front and back, the gold-robed man's ears were inevitably shaken, causing blood to pour out.

No.

Immediately afterward, his body, as if hit by a cannonball, uncontrollably flew backward violently.

No.

"Pfft!"

No.

Meanwhile, as he flew backward, the gold-robed man spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his complexion quickly turned as pale as paper.

No.

And his soul was also severely damaged at this moment.

No.

"Death Monument!"

Technique? Might be a skill name: Death Monument. Could be considered a technique.

However, before the former could catch his breath, a hoarse, ancient voice suddenly rang out in the space above his head.

No.

Then, a rich death aura madly surged out from the Soul Origin Celestial Body above him, and finally formed before him a massive black tombstone a thousand feet tall.

Names: Soul Origin Celestial Body (maybe). Might be a term; but it's likely a beast or entity. Could be a name: Soul Origin Heavenly Body. We'll list as a beast/entity.

As soon as the tombstone took shape, it echoed with mournful wails, as if countless feral spirits were stirring within it.

No.

"Boom!"

No.

The huge black tombstone appeared, and immediately descended from the heavens, slamming heavily onto the gold-robed man below.

No.

Afterward, a massive energy ripple spread outward from the point of impact, violently shaking the space within a thousand feet.

No.

As for the suddenly attacked Nine-Rank Golden Elixir, he also spat out another mouthful of blood, his whole body like a meteorite slamming into the ground, kicking up dust that shot up into the sky.

Names: Nine-Rank Golden Elixir. Actually "Nine-Rank Golden Elixir" is a rank of golden core? Might be a title: Nine-Rank Golden Elixir. Could be considered a rank/title. We'll list as a title: Nine-Rank Golden Elixir.

However, just as the former was suffering successive heavy blows, Lin Feng suddenly formed a hand seal.

Names: Lin Feng.

Then, without reservation, he mobilized his internal battle qi, causing it to surge through his meridians like a great river.

No.

At the same time, the gold-robed man, who had just awakened in the deep pit after enduring several blows,

No.

He discovered that suddenly, a ring of light appeared both above his head and beneath his feet.

No.

"Whoosh!"

No.

Immediately afterward, the two rings of light suddenly shot out a beam of light, forming a cylindrical energy column.

No.

While imprisoning the gold-robed man inside, it also lifted him back into the sky.

No.

"Hiss!"

No.

Just as the energy column sealed shut, the latter quickly sensed that his body was being eroded by a strange force.

No.

During this erosion, thick white smoke continually rose from the wounds being corroded.

No.

"Control Elixir Law Decision!?"

Technique: Control Elixir Law Decision. Actually "Control Elixir Law Decision" likely a technique: Controlling Elixir Law Decision. We'll list as technique.

Noticing the change in his body, the gold-robed man glared fiercely at Lin Feng and roared, "You human brat, you actually prepared the Control Elixir Law Decision!"

Names: Lin Feng. Also maybe "Gold-Robed Man" is not a name.

For such a rare technique on the continent, the gold-robed man's eyes flickered with doubt before he quickly recognized its origin.

No.

After all, when it comes to things that can counter him, he naturally pays special attention while reading books.

No.

However, although this thing greatly counters him, the Nine-Rank Golden Elixir naturally would not yield so easily.

Names: Nine-Rank Golden Elixir again.

After realizing his body was growing weaker, he clearly understood that only by quickly breaking free from this thing's restraint could he possibly escape with his life.

No.

But when he turned his head, he saw that his remaining Nine Mystic Golden Thunder was being beaten back repeatedly by Xiao Yixian and Xiao Jiu, leaving him unable to attend to it.

Names: Nine Mystic Golden Thunder (maybe). Might be a technique or ability. Also Xiao Yixian, Xiao Jiu. Also maybe "Nine Mystic Golden Thunder" is a technique.

"Looks like I can only rely on myself!"

No.

Thinking this, he immediately mobilized all his energy and frantically assaulted the surrounding energy column.

No.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

No.

Accompanied by vast battle qi, it burst forth abundantly, and a series of muffled explosions continuously appeared inside the column.

No.

Under this frantic assault, the cylindrical seal actually exploded with cracks like spider webs.

No.

And the entire column was shaking wildly.

No.

At this rate, the seal will be forced within a minute.

Probably missing word; but no names.

After all, a Nine-Star Initial Dou Saint, at a moment of life and death, his desperate resistance is not something easily endured.

Names: Nine-Star Initial Dou Saint. Actually "Dou Saint" is Dou Saint. So "Nine-Star Initial Dou Saint". Could be a rank/title. We'll list as rank: Nine-Star Initial Dou Saint.

Sigh, although I really wanted to conserve those Dou Emperor bloodlines, but now it seems impossible.

Names: Dou Emperor from glossary.

Seeing the wavering seal, Lin Feng realized that the gap in battle qi level between himself and the Nine-Rank Golden Elixir was too great.

Names: Lin Feng, Nine-Rank Golden Elixir.

Moreover, the opponent wasn't a pill that had just been refined; facing such a dire predicament, they were in the throes of madness.

Even though one possesses the Pill‑Controlling Technique, trying to quickly settle the opponent with it is probably impossible.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng's face darkened, and a strong bloody aura immediately spread throughout this space.

Next, bright red blood like an endless sea gushed from Xiao Ling's body with a splashing sound, covering the entire sky.

These Dou Emperor bloodlines containing strange energy swirled in the sky for a moment, then, as if alive, they surged wildly toward Lin Feng's body.

"Husband, are you trying to use the energy of the Dou Emperor bloodline to help yourself subdue this ninth‑grade golden pill?"

Seeing this, Xiao Yixian in the distance instantly guessed her husband's thought.

However, shortly after, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.

Because a clash of this level inevitably consumes a huge amount of Dou Qi.

And although these Dou Emperor bloodlines seem plentiful, if the two sides truly go all out, they're probably

Thinking of this, Xiao Yixian couldn't help but grit her teeth silently.

This time, the price they paid is truly not small!

At the same time, after receiving a large infusion of Dou Emperor bloodline, the energy pillar that Lin Feng controlled was also quickly replenished.

Next, the cracks on its surface were completely repaired in an instant.

Moreover, the incessant influx of energy actually made the energy pillar's solidity reach a higher level.

At the same time, the ninth‑grade golden pill imprisoned within the energy pillar also sensed it.

That strange energy eroding his body instantly became more than twice as strong.

"Ah!"

And under this irresistible corrosive force, the man in golden robes immediately let out an extremely miserable scream.

Furthermore, his human‑shaped body is now rapidly being disintegrated by that corrosive force.

"Great, it really works!"

Seeing that, under the continuous infusion of Dou Emperor bloodline, the human form of the ninth‑grade golden pill was rapidly disintegrating, joy welled up in Lin Feng's eyes.

After entangling with it for so long, we can finally get rid of this guy!

Under the continuous assault of the corrosive force, the form of the ninth‑grade golden pill, after being eroded for one minute, finally began to shrink gradually.

At this moment, his body actually shows a tendency to turn into a pill.

"Great, the young master will be able to settle it right away!"

Seeing the Nine‑Star Dou Saint powerhouse that previously loomed high above her now being made a mess by her husband, Xiao Ling in the distance instantly jumped up excitedly.

After all this trouble, we've finally finished it off!

"Hehe, why are you getting so worked up, little girl? At this point, your young master's heart is probably bleeding."

Seeing her overly excited appearance, Xiao Yixian, who had teamed up with Xiao Jiu to finish off the remaining Nine Mystic Golden Dragon, walked forward and couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

This girl truly doesn't know the value of firewood and rice when she's not managing the household.

The value of those Dou Emperor bloodlines is probably higher than a ninth‑grade mystic pill; your young master is probably about to feel heartbroken, why are you getting excited over nothing!

"Dou Emperor bloodline?"

Hearing that, Qing Lin instinctively lifted her little face; her emerald‑green eyes finally noticed the bright red blood disappearing at a visible speed in the sky.

"With so much Dou Emperor bloodline, could it be that this time we have to drain it all to settle that pill?"

Gazing at the blood vanishing rapidly in the sky, Qing Lin only then felt a pang of heartache.

That stuff, she remembered that her young master had spent a long time collecting it before managing to gather these.

Judging by the current consumption rate, it's probably... doomed!

"You only just found out!"

Hearing that, Xiao Yixian gave that girl an annoyed look.

After all, in a battle of Nine‑Star Dou Saint level, every second's Dou Qi consumption is an astronomical figure.

Don't think that over the years our side has killed many like Hun Feng and other ancient tribes, plus the gains from exterminating the Stone Clan, making the Dou Emperor bloodline appear plentiful.

But in a battle of this level, it will probably be used up very soon.

And the fact is, as Xiao Yixian expected, under Lin Feng's frantic output of Dou Qi to maintain the seal of the Pill‑Controlling Technique.

In the sky, the Dou Emperor bloodline exuding a thick bloody aura is being rapidly consumed.

By now, those Dou Emperor bloodlines amount to less than one‑tenth.

"I'm not willing to accept this!"

However, the body of the ninth‑grade golden pill was also quickly completely corroded by that special corrosive force of the Pill‑Controlling Technique.

After letting out a final unwilling scream, it could no longer maintain its body and turned into a bead the size of a fist.

At the same time, the Dou Emperor bloodline in the sky was also completely exhausted at this moment.

As for the bloody smell that had filled the entire space, it also gradually faded at this moment.

"Collect!"

Seeing this, Lin Feng then waved his hand; the distant energy pillar quickly shrank to about the size of a wine jar and flew to hover above his palm.

"Haha, finally caught that annoying guy!"

Xiao Ling in the distance immediately burst into laughter and ran over.

After all, the man in golden robes had previously threatened her, and Xiao Ling, who holds grudges, hasn't forgotten.

Xiao Yixian, Xiao Jiu, and Qing Lin, seeing this, all flew up curiously to look at the bead inside the energy pillar hovering above Lin Feng's palm.

That bead is about the size of a fist, within which a faint golden light flickers.

Looking at it, the ladies noticed that the space around this pill was slightly distorted.

This is because the energy inside is too rich and concentrated, causing the surrounding space to warp.

Speaking of which, it's like the space around neutron stars in the universe of Blue Star being warped by strong gravity.

Master, I'm hungry, I want to eat.

Xiao Ling stared at the pearl hovering above Lin Feng's palm, and before long her originally elated expression of having avenged her great grudge turned into a craving.

After all, she sensed within that pearl an energy far richer than that of a ninth-grade mystic pill.

And that richness is at least twenty times greater!

Hehe, don't even think about it; I need this pill to advance to Nine-Star Dou Saint, so you can forget about it.

Seeing Xiao Ling drooling, Lin Feng chuckled and then ruthlessly shattered her desire to eat this Golden Core pill.

Ah, no, I want to eat, I want the pill, I'm hungry.

Seeing that he refused to give it to her, Xiao Ling immediately rolled about angrily in the air before her.

This look was just like a child who wanted a toy but was refused by his parents.

Sigh, this girl probably caught Little Zi Yan's condition; she's hopeless, might as well bury her.

Seeing that familiar coquettish behavior, Xiao Yixian couldn't help but cover her forehead with her jade hand, sighing in her heart.

As for Qing Lin and Xiao Jiu, seeing this scene they couldn't help but twitch the corners of their eyes, then turned away, pretending not to know this embarrassing fellow.

And when Lin Feng saw them coming again, he quickly took out a large jade bottle to store the pill.

Then he scooped up Xiao Ling and gave her well-developed, round, pert buttocks a hard smack.

Smack! Smack! Smack!

In the next moment, within these ruins, the sound of slapping rang out instantly, along with Xiao Ling's pleading cries.

Young Master, what exactly is this ninth-grade golden core pill?

After Lin Feng finished scolding Xiao Ling, Qing Lin immediately asked curiously.

After all, she still didn't know the specific details of this pill.

Hearing that, Lin Feng tossed aside the grimacing Xiao Ling who was covering her sore buttocks.

Because he was in high spirits from obtaining this ninth-grade golden core pill, he chuckled and explained: "This golden core pill is called the Return Origin Vitality Increasing Pill; it is a top-tier pill that can enhance the strength of Dou Saint experts. Among ninth-grade golden core pills, it is also considered high-grade. Moreover, even if a Nine-Star Dou Saint expert consumes it, it is greatly beneficial. After its formation, its strength usually reaches around the peak of Eight-Star Dou Saint."

Of course, this golden core pill, because that golden core master hadn't finished refining it, when it first appeared it certainly couldn't reach this level. However, since this pill was born here without any experts disturbing it, it cultivated for a very long time, thus reaching the peak of Eight-Star Dou Saint.

Having said that, Lin Feng frowned, then slightly doubtful: "The last time I left, this guy indeed only had the strength of Eight-Star Dou Saint peak. I don't know what method he used, but in this short time he broke through from Eight-Star Dou Saint peak to Nine-Star level. Fortunately we arrived early; otherwise, if we had come later, once this guy stabilized his Nine-Star Dou Saint cultivation, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Return Origin Vitality Increasing Pill?

Hearing that, the three women all raised their brows slightly and murmured.

Although they had never heard the name of this pill before, judging from the combat power of this ninth-grade golden core pill earlier.

Its true nature must certainly not be simple.

Next, Qing Lin happily pounced forward, leaping into Lin Feng's embrace and said: "Young Master, after obtaining this pill and consuming and refining it, wouldn't you be able to break through to Nine-Star Dou Saint?"

By then, we won't need to fear Gu Xun'er.

Thinking back to how Gu Xun'er had monopolized her Young Master for several days and even taken many of her things, Qing Lin instantly felt a bit annoyed.

That wicked woman, truly hateful!

And Xiao Yixian, upon hearing that, instantly turned her delicate little face, her pair of dark eyes gazing curiously at her husband.

Hearing that, Lin Feng thought of how formidable that golden core pill master had been in life, and he immediately nodded: "Considering that the alchemist who refined this Return Origin Vitality Increasing Pill is among the top-tier of ninth-grade golden core pill masters, both his techniques and materials must be excellent. I think once we perfect and consume it, refining its medicinal power, breaking through to Nine-Star Dou Saint will certainly be no problem."

Thinking back, this ninth-grade golden core pill master in life could cooperate with others to refine emperor-grade pills.

Lin Feng still had considerable confidence in this Return Origin Vitality Increasing Pill.

However, soon he gazed at the center of these ruins and said: "Earlier, Yun Yun and I had not explored many places in these ruins. This time, let's search them thoroughly before we return."

Good.

Hearing that, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin both quickly nodded, their eyes slightly anticipating.

After all, these ruins were left behind by that golden core pill master.

There must be many treasures within.

And seeing that the women had no objections, Lin Feng then recalled the Gate of Stillness and stored the Soul Origin Heaven within it.

As for Xiao Ling and Xiao Jiu, the two girls flicked their forms and returned to his body.

Next, Lin Feng swiftly brought Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian across the wide lawn, arriving above the buildings that he and Yun Yun had not yet scavenged.

Looking down at the numerous palaces, Lin Feng told the two women: "We'll each be responsible for scavenging one area."

Exactly what I had in mind.

Upon hearing that, Xiao Yixian immediately nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Lin Feng and the three women, in tacit understanding, instantly split up and flew off in different directions.

Go!

Having flown over a stretch of buildings he had not yet scavenged, Lin Feng then, like launching multiple threads, immediately released waves of mighty soul power into the halls below.

And upon seeing that the plaques above these halls all began with the character 'inner', Lin Feng couldn't help but curl his mouth.

Earlier, he and Yun Yun had not yet explored these inner halls.

Thinking of this, his soul power swiftly entered and began searching the shelves within.

But soon, his brows furrowed tightly.

Because the items on the shelves in these halls were all in utter disarray.

At a glance it was clear that someone had already gotten there first and looked through the things.

However, for some reason, that person did not take these martial arts and battle techniques or some other items.

However, when his soul power reached the place where pills and medicinal ingredients were stored, his expression turned grim, and he also realized who had ransacked these halls.

I never expected that this golden core pill would have devoured all the pills in these ruins, and even the medicinal ingredients, which it refined and consumed using the nine-tier beast fire that the golden core pill master had stored in the Fire Hall.

After figuring out who had messed up this place, Lin Feng instantly understood why that golden core pill could advance to become a Nine-Star Dou Saint.

In fact, that guy had practically devoured all the pills and medicinal ingredients in these ruins!

I said, how did that guy manage to breakthrough so quickly? Turns out, that's the reason.

Not long after, Lin Feng immediately opened his eyes, gave a bitter smile, and shook his head.

Looks like my idea of taking this opportunity to harvest another batch of pills and herbs is going to come to nothing.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng helplessly released his soul power.

Then, a powerful invisible force encompassed all the items inside the hall of the area he was responsible for.

Collect!

The next moment, with a hook of Lin Feng's hand, all the items in the hall below instantly whooshed out.

Above the sky, they formed dozens of streams—scrolls, beast fire, various weapons, or certain materials and medicine cauldrons—flying toward them.

But as those items approached, Lin Feng suddenly unleashed the Gate of Stillness.

Then, as the black gate opened, a suction burst forth, instantly sucking those things inside.

After doing that, Lin Feng then turned and went to meet up with Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin.

At the same time, after the two women were shocked by the chaos and disappearance of the items, they quickly gathered their things and flew toward him.

Husband, the items inside have already been ruined by that ninth-grade golden pill. The pills and herbs are all gone.

Just as they flew together, Xiao Yixian couldn't wait to explain her side's situation to him.

Yeah, the area I'm in charge of also had its stuff turned into a mess, and the pills and herbs have likewise completely vanished.

Hearing that, Qing Lin also quickly nodded in agreement.

Seeing the two women's reaction, Lin Feng also helplessly said: "There's nothing we can do; this place has already been ruined by that golden pill. However, those cultivation methods, fighting techniques, prescriptions, medicine cauldrons, some strange flames and beast fires are still perfectly preserved."

This trip, we've also made a huge gain. As for now, returning is urgent.

Upon hearing that, Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian likewise nodded helplessly.

After all, those pills and herbs have been swallowed by that golden pill; what else can they do?

And Lin Feng, seeing that the items had all been taken up, immediately waved his hand, constructing a spatial passage to leave this place.

Let's go.

As soon as the spatial passage formed, it swiftly darted in, and at the same time it called Xiao Yixian and the two women to hurry up and follow.

Seeing this, the two women also quickly followed, and finally all disappeared together inside the spatial passage.

And with the disappearance of the several people, the passage swiftly reclosed, restoring the space to its original state, as if it had never appeared.

This is an endless void; looking around, even the stars of the Dou Qi Continent are hardly visible here.

However, if one looks downward, one can discover.

Below this, there is a continent of vast area.

Furthermore, looking around, one can also see.

In the extremely distant surroundings, there are likewise pieces of continents or spherical planets.

And in such a pitch-black place, a human whose appearance cannot be made out sits cross-legged here.

After an unknown amount of time, this figure lowered his head and gazed down at the continent.

His tone carried a hint of bitterness as he sighed: "Switching to cultivate Dou Qi is a helpless move; I hope this time, before leaving, no further problems will arise."

"It can't be that the Dou Qi Continent will produce another powerful Dou Emperor to stop my conversion to Dou Qi cultivation."

While speaking, he again gave a self-mocking smile, shook his head, and said: "It seems that after tens of thousands of years have passed, my courage has only grown smaller. Now the Dou Qi Continent has been completely severed from the Da Qian Shijie for tens of thousands of years—where would the world-origin tempering, body evolution, and advancement to Dou Emperor come from? And without origin qi, how could this continent possibly give birth to a Dou Emperor?"

"Furthermore, as long as I succeed in converting to Dou Qi cultivation, the newly promoted Dou Emperor, heh, is actually nothing to fear."

And upon thinking of this, that person's expression changed slightly again.

Because as she converted to Dou Qi cultivation, she began to discover that the foundation of this continent seemed to have already been exhausted.

The Plane's Embryo, I'm afraid,

Immediately after, the black shadow clenched both fists, muttering to himself: "Could it be that I can only stop before the Heart Tribulation, watching helplessly as my lifespan runs out?"

Although she reached the Upper Three Tribulations realm at a young age, she lacks confidence to pass that Heart Tribulation.

Otherwise, there would be no need to go through all this trouble; she would simply choose to undergo the tribulation directly.

"Having seen the light, how could one endure the darkness? No matter what, our sect must give it a try, for this dark place is truly too much!"

Thinking of that earlier kid who escaped from the Heavenly Unity realm, the black shadow's heart involuntarily stirred.

The way out, at least, is open.

But upon seeing that person successfully walk out, her heart, which could have endured, broke.

Thinking of this, the black shadow immediately extended his palm, placing it on the transparent barrier before him.

However, this time, the barrier that should have completely blocked her outside the world wall,

unexpectedly, failed.

That black shadow's palm lightly passed through the transparent barrier, entering the Dou Qi Continent.

However, when her entire arm had gone out,

the instant her shoulder touched the barrier, her body suddenly felt as if it had been fiercely struck, and she was violently flung backward.

"Cough cough. Looks like it still isn't possible now!"

Blown away by the barrier, the black shadow gazed at the transparent membrane; his eyes showed no disappointment, but rather a flush of intense excitement.

"Soon, I'll be able to get out. By then, the Dou Qi Continent will be mine. Even if the Plane's Embryo has long perished, our sect can tear open a passage, venture into the Da Qian Shijie, adventure, and seek that higher realm."

Gazing down at the continent, the black shadow's eyes grew ever more fervent.

Although with her cultivation, entering the Da Qian Shijie is not very safe.

But at least, she no longer needs to endure this endless wait!

Thinking of this, the black shadow immediately sent out a message, piercing the world wall and swiftly entering a certain cave dwelling in the Ancient Southern Continent.

"Han Yu, you lure that tree over. Our sect needs to speed up the conversion to Dou Qi cultivation."

——

It was off by a little bit, but it can barely be counted as daily ten thousand.
