Chapter 1354: The Divine Pill Formula and Each One's Thoughts

"Exterminate!"

In the next moment, the Emperor Pill raised both palms and pressed down fiercely.

In an instant, the entire sky darkened at this moment.

As far as the eye could see, only the light cluster in the palm of the Emperor-grade Infant Pill was blooming with destructive light.

That light cluster seemed to writhe as if alive at this moment.

Finally, that light cluster suddenly howled forth.

In less than half a breath, it had already descended upon the heads of Soul Heaven Emperor, Gu Yuan, and the other four.

Faced with such a terrifying attack, even they, four Nine-Star Fighting Saints, felt a strong sense of danger.

Immediately, boundless fighting qi surged within their bodies, being driven to the utmost.

Streams of top-tier heavenly-rank fighting techniques poured from their hands like they were free, wildly hurled toward that light ahead.

In the blink of an eye, that colorful light cluster heavily collided with their fighting techniques.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

In an instant, earth-shaking explosions continuously rang out in the sky, destructive ripples spreading wildly across the battlefield.

Seeing this, the distant observing Fighting Saints, shocked, hastily retreated further.

After all, the shockwave of the explosion was too fierce; they did not want to be drawn in.

Otherwise, it would truly be ten deaths with no chance of life!

However, not long after, four figures emerged in a sorry state from the explosion's smoke and fire, blown back by the aftershock.

Immediately, Soul Heaven Emperor and the other four, under that immense force they could not resist, were fiercely hurled onto the distant plaza, smashing four abyssal pits tens of thousands of zhang deep.

Witnessing this, the faces of people from all sides in the distance drastically changed at this moment.

This Emperor-grade Infant Pill could contend with five peerless experts who had reached Nine-Star Fighting Saint—so far so good.

But no one expected that this Emperor-grade Infant Pill could not only match them, but even beat those five into having no power to fight back.

Although these five were divided into factions and each harbored secret motives,

after all, they were peak experts of this world; no one imagined that, even in a semi-joined state of the five, they would be beaten by the Emperor-grade Infant Pill into such a sorry state.

Looking at the current situation, if this continues,

it is likely that not long from now, the Emperor-grade Infant Pill will settle those five.

After that, perhaps it will be their turn.

Thinking of this, the distant crowd could not help but feel a hint of worry.

If Soul Heaven Emperor and the other five are utterly defeated, facing this seemingly invincible Emperor-grade Infant Pill, how could they possibly stand against it?

However, when their gaze swept over the distant Lin Feng, who was unharmed, the people of the Three Great Imperial Clans could not help but grit their teeth,

for before the Emperor Pill's attack fell, they had clearly seen.

Lin Feng clearly had time to step forward and help.

Yet he chose not to do so, instead directly turning and fleeing the Infant Pill's attack range!

Moreover, this behavior of his, combined with the three Nine-Star Fighting Saints on our side being heavily wounded, naturally made the Three Great Imperial Clans unable to accept it.

Of course, even though they were extremely dissatisfied in their hearts, they were not foolish.

On the surface they dared not speak rudely, but in their hearts they had cursed Lin Feng countless times.

Meanwhile, as those people silently cursed Lin Feng, the Emperor-grade Infant Pill hovered in the sky, its icy gaze fixed on the plains below where those tens-of-thousands-of-zhang deep pits had been smashed out.

"You few pieces of trash, wanting to refine me—your ability still falls short."

After defeating those few, the Emperor-grade Infant Pill glanced at the depths of those pits, then spoke calmly:

As soon as the words fell, he immediately raised his head, looked toward Lin Feng who had escaped the calamity ahead, and continued: "How about it, I've dealt with those four, little brat—do you still want to keep scheming against my true form?"

"Senior's methods are admirable; I dare not act against you, Senior."

Seeing his gaze turn toward him, Lin Feng directly, without shame, softened his stance.

After all, the Old Dragon Emperor and Soul Heaven Emperor and the others had been defeated; even if he struggled, he could not match this Infant Pill whose strength had reached half-Emperor.

Seeing Lin Feng yield, the Colorful-haired Old Man nodded in satisfaction.

Then he turned his gaze to one side.

There, four somewhat disheveled figures rose from the newly smashed deep pit below, soaring back into the sky to stare off against the Infant Pill from afar.

"What, you lot intend to keep opposing me like this?"

Seeing their unwillingness to give up, the Colorful-haired Old Man smiled faintly, an air of assured victory about him.

And indeed, that is the case, if nothing unexpected occurs.

With his strength, he can indeed completely defeat Lin Feng and the other five.

Only, the precondition is that nothing unexpected must happen.

After saying that, seeing those few still not retreating, the Emperor-grade Infant Pill's brows twitched slightly.

Then he clasped his hands behind his back, his tone turning icy: "Wu Nie Tun Yan, and that little brat over there—if you two are willing to follow me, I can treat your previous attacks on me as never having happened. If you insist on stubborn resistance, then once I capture you, don't blame me for turning hostile and refusing to acknowledge you!"

"Huh?"

As soon as those words fell, Soul Heaven Emperor, Gu Yuan, Zhu Kun, and Wu Nie Tun Yan were startled in their hearts, then unconsciously furrowed their brows.

Of course, their shock was not due to the Emperor-grade Infant Pill's threat, nor because the other side wanted to take Wu Nie Tun Yan away.

Rather, they did not understand why the Colorful-haired Old Man specifically proposed to take Lin Feng away.

Taking Wu Nie Tun Yan away, they could easily guess.

Perhaps the Emperor-grade Infant Pill wants to use Wu Nie Tun Yan to perfect itself.

But Lin Feng—what does he have that would make an Emperor-grade Pill, a half-Emperor expert, covet him?

Full of doubt, their gazes then fell upon the distant Lin Feng, continually sizing him up.

That look, it seemed he wanted to see clearly just what was special about this guy.

"This Emperor-grade Infant Pill, how could it suddenly want me to follow him?"

The doubtful ones were not just the Soul Heaven Emperor and Zhu Kun; as one of the main figures in this matter, Lin Feng likewise wore a puzzled expression.

He was fine, so why did he suddenly take a liking to him?

Could it be that he was bewitched by his rare handsome face?

Um. Well, that was a joke.

"Wait, could this Emperor-grade Infant Pill be after my Primordial Emperor Qi?"

Thinking back to before he appeared, when that Emperor-grade Infant Pill showed up, his own Primordial Emperor Qi in his mind instantly reacted with the one inside the other party, Lin Feng immediately frowned, thinking to himself.

Upon thinking this, his eyes flashed slightly, and he quickly confirmed Cai Fa's idea.

"Looks like that guy plans to refine me, then extract my Primordial Emperor Qi from my body to increase the chances of successfully breaking through to Dou Emperor!"

Having figured out the key point, Lin Feng's heart instantly tightened with nervousness.

After all, since he could help the Infant Pill advance to Dou Emperor, the other side would certainly not let him go easily.

And if no one could stop this Emperor-grade Infant Pill,

then he would truly be in danger.

As for the Soul Heaven Emperor and the other three, after not noticing anything different about Lin Feng, they immediately furrowed their brows and temporarily gave up on this question.

After all, they currently don't have the time to slowly figure this out.

"Looks like you won't cry until you see the coffin!"

At the same moment, seeing that Wu Nie Tun Yan and the others were not preparing to surrender, the Emperor-grade Infant Pill coldly flicked his sleeve.

Looking at this, it was obvious he was preparing to go hard.

"Heh heh, if we surrender, you're probably getting happy too soon—do you really think this seat can't subdue you, a junior?"

Just as the Emperor-grade Infant Pill's words fell, Wu Nie Tun Yan suddenly let out a cold laugh.

Having said that, he then turned his head to look at the Soul Heaven Emperor beside him and said in a deep voice: "Quickly give me the Tuoshe Ancient Jade; that guy, I have a way to subdue him!"

Faced with this unbelievable statement, the Soul Heaven Emperor's expression instantly froze.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he didn't waste time, decisively taking out the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade and tossing it to Wu Nie Tun Yan.

The latter seized the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade and suddenly gave the Emperor-grade Infant Pill a strange smile.

Immediately after, he bit his tongue tip amidst everyone's doubtful gazes, spitting out a mouthful of dark essence blood tinged with black flame, which he sprinkled onto that piece of intact ancient jade.

At the same moment, Wu Nie Tun Yan's hands suddenly shifted into a series of extremely profound hand seals.

"Heh heh, finally using this move?"

Seeing Wu Nie Tun Yan's action, Lin Feng in the distance flashed his eyes, and a hint of joy involuntarily welled up in his heart.

As long as Wu Nie Tun Yan can subdue the Emperor-grade Infant Pill, he can escape that guy's clutches.

After all, being eyed by a half-emperor expert, that feeling is not pleasant.

As for the bewildered Soul Heaven Emperor, Gu Yuan, and Zhu Kun, watching Wu Nie Tun Yan's sudden move, they all instantly turned into curious babies.

They couldn't figure out where Wu Nie Tun Yan got his courage from.

He actually believed that, relying on his own strength as a nine-star initial Dou Saint, he could resolve that half-emperor-level Emperor-grade Infant Pill.

You know, just earlier the five of them joining forces were quickly defeated.

However, the Soul Heaven Emperor and the other two stared at his hand seals for not long, when a slightly familiar feeling welled up from the depths of their hearts.

These hand seals, they seemed to have seen some of them somewhere before?

After a moment of contemplation, they suddenly lifted their heads and gazed into the distance at the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor stone statue towering tens of thousands of zhang high.

At this moment, the three discovered that the hand seals formed by the stone statue's two hands

were exactly the same as Wu Nie Tun Yan's initial hand seal just now!

"Could it be that Wu Nie Tun Yan possesses some miraculous techniques from the ancient Tuoshe Emperor that can subdue this Emperor-grade Infant Pill?"

At that instant, the same sentence simultaneously appeared in the minds of all three.

As soon as that sentence appeared, their gazes toward each other instantly did a 180-degree turn.

The idea of joining forces against the enemy was, in that instant, swiftly expelled from their minds.

All that remained was how to kill the other, lest that bastard snatch away their chance to become emperor.

"Buzz—"

Meanwhile, as those few harbored ulterior motives, accompanied by the rapid transformation of Wu Nie Tun Yan's hand seals, the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade floating before him suddenly began to tremble violently.

Next, under the gaze of everyone present, a circle of soft light rippled outward from that jade-green ancient jade.

Then, as the ancient jade trembled, that soft light undulated and quickly transformed into a halo displaying gorgeous colors!

Upon this halo, various colors alternately burst forth, as if flames were jumping within it, giving a sense of profound mystery.

"This is a Pill Formation Ring! How could you possibly know the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Pill Formation Divine Technique?!"

Seeing the halo form, the Emperor-grade Infant Pill, who had originally been confident of victory, suddenly changed expression, and even his voice became sharp and shrill for the first time.

And the other party's abnormal action instantly convinced the Soul Heaven Emperor and the other two.

What Wu Nie Tun Yan displayed could truly wound, even kill, that Emperor-grade Infant Pill!

Thinking of this, their Dou Qi began to quietly circulate within their bodies.

At the same time, their glances at each other likewise began to turn extremely hostile.

Of course, while those few were moving, Lin Feng on the other side was certainly not idle.

At the instant the Emperor-grade Infant Pill's sharp voice rang out, he immediately seized the opportunity while everyone's attention was drawn to the former, making a secret gesture toward Xiao Yixian and the others.

Seeing that, those few immediately knew a great battle was imminent.

Immediately after, they dared not hesitate in the slightest, quickly and quietly informing the other teammates.

After this, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin, the two women, moreover secretly brought along some relatively strong concubines, secretly left the far-off place, and entered the dense mist in the distance.

As for the people of the three major magical beast families, they silently began to change their positions.

At the same time, everyone's aura also began to secretly seep out, interconnecting with those around them.

But if the Soul Heavenly Emperor and his party noticed this place, they would certainly be able to discover it.

These people's movements are clearly a sign that they are about to form a formation!

However, the attention of those few had long been completely taken up by Wu Nie Tun Yan and the Imperial Lotus Pill.

At this moment, how could they have any spare thought to pay attention to those Dou Sheng?

"Wu Nie Tun Yan, this old man will fight you to the death; don't even think about deploying the Pill‑Formation Ring in front of me!"

The Imperial Lotus Pill finally realized that it had to go all‑out; as soon as it could seize a sliver of life, its eyes burst with a murderous intent, and it roared, fiercely slapping out a ribbon of coloured light toward the former.

Boom—

In an instant, that light, carrying the force of thunderbolts, swept fiercely toward Wu Nie Tun Yan.

Looking at the tremendous power contained within that coloured light.

If Wu Nie Tun Yan were hit, even if his soul remained intact, he would lose his ability to resist.

"Charge!"

Faced with this situation, the Soul Heavenly Emperor, Gu Yuan, and Zhu Kun exchanged a glance, then gritted their teeth and, in perfect unison, surged forth, unleashing a barrage of combat techniques to protect Wu Nie Tun Yan's safety.

After all, to have cultivated to this level, their minds are certainly not stupid.

They knew that if Wu Nie Tun Yan failed this time, they would be completely done for.

Therefore, before that former's secret technique is unleashed, they must, no matter what, protect Wu Nie Tun Yan's safety.

Otherwise, they could only wait for death.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the attacks of both sides collided, the Imperial Lotus Pill's coloured light instantly shattered one combat technique after another, relentlessly spreading toward Wu Nie Tun Yan.

Seeing this, Lin Feng in the distance had no time to keep swimming.

With a thought, he quickly condensed several coloured Imperial Lotuses and hurled them forcefully toward the light emitted by the pill in the distance.

Moo!

Moo!

Moo!

At the same time, he relentlessly unleashed Yellow Springs Heavenly Fury, launching wave after wave of substance‑like sound pulses that struck the coloured light.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the next moment, as the Imperial Lotuses exploded and the sound pulses struck, the coloured light that had been depleted by the Soul Heavenly Emperor and his two companions finally slowed down.

Seeing this, Zhu Kun and his two companions from afar immediately swarmed forward, continuing to unleash combat techniques that turned the heavens and earth pale, striking the now much‑dimmer coloured light.

Upon collision, immediately afterwards, a large number of explosion sounds rang out in the high sky.

But this time, under the three's relentless assault without regard for consumption, the coloured light could no longer hold up.

Finally, due to insufficient energy, it dispersed.

Heh heh, die!

At this moment, the halo in Wu Nie Tun Yan's hand had just finished condensing; he then gave a cold snort, flicked his palm, and the gorgeous halo shot forth.

"No, no—I just saw the hope of freedom; I'm not willing to accept this!"

Upon seeing the halo that seemed to exceed light speed and instantly appear above its head, the Imperial Lotus Pill let out a cry of urgency and despair.

Immediately thereafter, he hurriedly mobilised all his battle qi and frantically attacked the coloured halo above.

However, no matter how he attacked, that halo remained as unmoving as a divine needle lodged in the deep sea.

Moreover, shortly thereafter, ring after ring of gorgeous fire circles emerged from the coloured halo and swiftly fell down, completely enveloping the Imperial Lotus Pill's form below.

Accompanied by these flame rings, they continued to wrap around the Imperial Lotus Pill like an endless tide.

Strands of white smoke suddenly rose from its surface.

"Ah!"

At the same time, that shrill, agonised wail suddenly rang out incessantly across this heaven and earth.

Upon seeing this, Wu Nie Tun Yan himself flashed a look of rich delight in his eyes.

Although this secret technique had gradually appeared in his mind after he saw Lin Feng's preceding Pill‑Control Art.

But before that, he had not expected that the Pill‑Formation Ring left behind by the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe.

And yet its restraining effect on the Imperial Lotus Pill turned out to be incredibly powerful!

Thinking of this, Wu Nie Tun Yan once again bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of essence blood infused with black flame, which shot forth to strike the Pill‑Formation Ring above the distant Imperial Lotus Pill's head.

"Bang!"

After absorbing Wu Nie Tun Yan's essence blood, the coloured light rings emitted from the Pill‑Formation Ring burst into flames that became far more intense.

At the same time, the Imperial Lotus Pill's form began to shrink gradually within the rising thick white mist.

Gazing intently, faintly, it actually showed a tendency to revert to its true form!

"I never expected Ancient Emperor Tuoshe to have left such a trump card—how wonderful!"

Seeing the Imperial Lotus Pill, which had formerly been proud and domineering, now reduced to such a sorry state, the Soul Heavenly Emperor, Gu Yuan, and Zhu Kun all flashed a look of wild joy and fervent heat in their eyes.

Immediately thereafter, the three simultaneously mobilised their battle qi and then struck out fiercely.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the few struck out together, in an instant a terrifying battle‑qi storm swept out from that exploding sky, sweeping everything around!
