Chapter 369: Divine Lord of Ten Thousand Medicines: Loyalty!

Youquan's surrounding mist shook violently.

The air stilled.

"Are you playing with me?"

"Obvious."

Gu Yuan spread his hands,

"You're stalling here to set up an array, I'm here to twist your words. Everyone takes what they need; how can that be called playing?"

On the shattered ruins of the Great Yin Divine Dynasty, a death‑like stillness.

The old emperor collapsed in a pool of blood; the crown prince and the virtuous noble consort dared not even gasp.

They could not at all comprehend where the confidence of this young man called Gu Ziyuan came from, to dare provoke a supreme being that transcended all understanding.

Youquan, enraged, sneered.

"What daring, I've roamed the Star Sea for millions of years; you're the first native who dares to treat me like a monkey in person."

He slowly raised both hands, his ten fingers long and pallid.

With his motion, the entire sky of the Great Yin Divine Dynasty turned into pure, dead black.

An invisible great net that covered the whole world fully contracted at that moment.

"Enough idle talk; the reason I've been patient in this stalemate is not to win you over, but to set up the 'Heaven‑Sealing Earth‑Locking Great Array'. Now the spatial coordinates of this world have been completely erased; even a true Immortal cannot hope to send even a whisper of a distress signal outward."

Youquan dived down, his pressure striking Gu Yuan like a solidified mountain.

"I have repeatedly confirmed that the elder behind you did not follow; without that protector, you cannot escape today!"

"Since you refuse to be a dog, I will tear out your spirit, forge you into the lowest corpse‑puppet, and bring you back for the Grand Pavilion Elder's reward!"

The Eradication Source Power formed a colossal hand that blocked the sky, bearing terrifying force that crushes all laws, descending directly onto Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan, facing an attack capable of flattening the Great Yin Divine Dynasty countless times, made no move to dodge.

He merely sighed, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"That worthless Tianqi, did it even share all intelligence with you?"

Gu Yuan lifted his head, staring straight at the sky‑blocking hand.

"The Gu Family never lacks bodyguards when we travel, and moreover..."

"Who told you the Gu Family has only one Immortal King?"

"Arrogant!"

Youquan snorted at Gu Yuan's words.

Immortal King?

Do you think that's just a roadside cabbage?

Across all heavens and myriad realms, the beings that can enter that domain are countable on the fingers.

For an obscure family to produce a peerless ruthless figure who severely wounded Tianqi already exhausts the fortune of several epochs.

How could there possibly be a second?

The sky‑blocking hand paused not at all; the Eradication Source Power compressed the space around Gu Yuan inch by inch until it shattered.

In the one‑thousandth of a second before the hand would touch a strand of Gu Yuan's hair,

the void behind Gu Yuan collapsed without any warning.

There was no violent energy surge, no earth‑shaking phenomenon.

It was as if a scroll were ripped apart brutally at its center.

An intensely rich alchemical fragrance, mingled with the apocalyptic law that drives all things to end, surged wildly from the fissure.

"Now!"

A shattered dark‑gold alchemy furnace phantom materialized out of thin air, stubbornly blocking the Eradication giant hand.

Two completely different yet both belonging to the Immortal King's domain collided with a thunderous crash.

The Heavenly Dao of the Great Yin Divine Dynasty emitted an overburdened wail; the land within thousands of miles of the capital sank hundreds of zhang instantly, underground water streams reversed, turning into a vast ocean.

"Oh dear, this old slave's bones almost missed it."

A slightly aged yet deliberately restrained arrogant voice came from behind the furnace.

The Lord of Ten Thousand Medicines stepped out of the void.

His appearance at this moment was extremely odd.

His upper half bore the handsome yet lifeless face of the Dusk Immortal King, clad in tattered gold‑red battle armor; his lower half was the reshaped torso of the Tianqi Immortal King, faintly exuding a dark‑gold aura of apocalyptic true blood.

He forcibly stitched the two disparate Immortal King remnants together with supreme alchemical Dao law, looking like a grafted monster.

But that didn't stop him from showing off.

The Lord of Ten Thousand Medicines held the furnace phantom with one hand, the other hand behind his back, chin slightly raised, casting a disdainful gaze at Youquan hovering in the air.

"Where did that stray dog come from, daring to bark at the Gu Family's young master?"

Youquan was shaken back half a step by the sudden Immortal King's colossal force, his scarlet eyes finally showing shock.

"Immortal King?! Who exactly are you!"

He stared fixedly at the Lord of Ten Thousand Medicines, his mind frantically searching for a powerhouse matching that aura, only to find the other's law wildly chaotic!

It contained the dusk's apocalyptic aura, and also... Tianqi's nauseating apocalyptic fluctuation, and deep within hid an ancient, mellow alchemical truth!

"What do you call me?"

The Lord of Ten Thousand Medicines let out a cold snort; the shattered dark‑gold furnace phantom in his hand suddenly swelled, turning into a colossal cauldron capable of melting stars, and slammed directly at Youquan,

"Dare to touch my family's young master, I'll use your essence to add fuel to my fire!"

Amid the roar, two Immortal‑King‑level forces began the most primal, most brutal strangulation in the void.

The remaining laws of the Great Yin Divine Dynasty, under such collision, peeled away like fragile thin paper, large swaths of space shedding to reveal the deep cosmic darkness beyond.

If it weren't for Gu Yuan using the World Tree Roots from his inner world to stabilize the core ley lines of this realm beforehand, the aftershocks of this first clash alone would be enough to plunge the entire Great Yin Divine Dynasty back into the chaos that preceded the creation of heaven and earth.

But soon, the Myriad Medicines God Lord's complexion changed.

Although he had successively refined and absorbed the remnant remains of the Twilight Immortal King and the Heaven-Initiating Immortal King, and thereby restored more than half of the power of the Jue Dian Immortal King, this patched-together mortal body ultimately suffered a severe rejection reaction.

You Quan's source-extinguishing power has reached utter purity, and the opponent is at peak strength.

What's more, he was naturally stronger than I!

After several hard clashes of law, the Myriad Medicines God Lord's forcibly sutured rift at the waist has begun to split, dark-gold true blood mixed with the twilight's apocalyptic deathly aura pouring out without restraint.

"Damn it, this extraterritorial demon's foundation is truly tough, far harder to deal with than those few useless faceless ones."

The Myriad Medicines God Lord gnashed his teeth, secretly sending a voice transmission to Gu Yuan, his tone betraying an anxiety he could not conceal.

"Young Master, this brat is tough to handle! This old servant's mortal body hasn't fully acclimated yet—forcing the Immortal King Dao Fruit to run incurs a massive backlash; I can't hold out much longer."

He simultaneously used alchemy fire to stubbornly resist the ashen-black mist trying to invade his body, while rapidly weighing the pros and cons.

"You go first! This old servant will sacrifice half my body, burning this cauldron to cover your retreat! If this broken, rotten world is to be abandoned, so be it; as long as the young master returns safely to the Divine Island, the old ancestor will surely regain our standing for us, and then we'll skin this demon!"
