Chapter 369: Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill

A ten-thousand-foot-tall ancient stone statue stood in the center of the plaza, its shadow completely enveloping everyone. Even though it was merely a statue, one could still feel the invincible posture of that Dou Di from years ago, who stood at the pinnacle of the ages and looked down upon the world. Just by glancing at it, it felt as if an invisible mountain were pressing down upon one's body.

"Tuoshe Ancient Emperor?" The five of them realized in their hearts; the owner of this statue was self-evident. Seeing this familiar face, Zhu Kun's expression was complex, his eyes filled with intense hatred. No one could remain indifferent toward the culprit after being schemed against and trapped for ten thousand years.

Around the stone statue, light orbs of various sizes were fluttering about. After narrowing their eyes and observing for a moment,

"Heaven-Tier Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques!"

The aura emitted from the hundreds of light orbs was, without exception, Heaven-Tier. Compared to these light orbs, the collections in the treasuries of the major factions were simply not worth mentioning.

However, everyone present was a top-tier powerhouse of this continent; the attraction of Heaven-Tier Dou Techniques and Cultivation Methods was not that great. Their initial distraction was merely due to the shock brought about by this massive quantity.

Their goal remained...

"Where is the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill?" Everyone searched the surroundings in unison; this should be the most likely place for it to be hiding.

"Hehe..."

"It has been a long time since this place was so lively!"

An ancient and vicissitudinous voice slowly entered their ears. The group could not help but have their expressions change drastically. Following the sound, they saw an old man slowly stepping out from the shoulder of the stone statue.

His gaze was indifferent, giving one a sense of detachment as if looking down upon all living things.

"Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill?" The answer appeared in their hearts.

What surprised the old man was that, after only a brief moment of astonishment, these strangers quickly regained their composure, their expressions returning to normal.

"Be careful, this Embryonic Pill does not seem easy to deal with." Zhu Kun subconsciously gave a warning. The subtle pressure brought by the opponent was the real deal; he was willing to swear on his honor as a Magic Beast King.

"Mm." Xiao Han and the others nodded solemnly. Although they had made estimates, when truly facing it, the strength of the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill still exceeded their expectations, being completely no less than Hun Tiandi when he was desperately burning himself.

"Feel free to fight this time; I have already sent a signal in advance for the others to stay far away from this plaza."

Gu Yuan added from behind, his tone somewhat helpless.

In previous years, Nine-Star Dou Sheng powerhouses were rarely seen in the outside world, but during this period, there had been successive great battles, and Nine-Star Dou Sheng powerhouses were bunched together—it was simply lethal!

A group of Dou Sheng underlings would be of no use at all on this kind of battlefield, and it would be heartbreaking to lose even one of them from the faction's foundation.

Seeing the Dou Qi circulating on the surfaces of the five people's bodies, "Tuoshe Ancient Emperor" twitched his face. Dealing with five Nine-Star Dou Sheng powerhouses was quite troublesome. He then said coldly:

"Ants, you dare to provoke the might of a Dou Di!"

Zhu Kun spat. As an old nemesis, he did not show the slightest courtesy.

"Dou Di? A medicinal pill actually dares to speak arrogantly of being an Emperor!"

"You know my identity?" The Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill could not help but be stunned.

Under normal circumstances, not many people knew that there was an Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill in the Tuoshe Gudi Dongfu, let alone when "Tuoshe Ancient Emperor" was right in front of them—who would dare to doubt his identity?

Zhu Kun did not reply. His body was instantly covered in scales, purple-gold colors circulating. The talent of the Taixu Ancient Dragon was brought to its limit. He leaped repeatedly, and in the next instant, he appeared in front of the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill. His right hand, which had already transformed into a dragon claw, tore through space and smashed directly toward the latter's face.

The pent-up frustration and anger from being trapped for ten thousand years had never vanished. Now, seeing this face that was exactly the same as his enemy's, the fire in Zhu Kun's heart was instantly ignited.

However, facing the angry strike of Zhu Kun, who could be considered a peak powerhouse of the continent, the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill's eyes revealed a look of disdain. He slapped back with his hand.

"Bang!"

Zhu Kun was instantly sent flying backward. He retreated several steps in mid-air, leaving several deep footprints in the space. Stopping his momentum, he raised his head and looked at the location of the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill with wariness.

"Hmph, unable to withstand a single blow!" Having effortlessly neutralized Zhu Kun's surprise attack and even taking the opportunity to counter-attack, the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill's heart was unprecedentedly inflated at this moment.

"Heh? Unable to withstand a single blow?" The repelled Zhu Kun did not show the slightest disappointment; instead, he revealed a mocking smile.

The Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill felt a chill in his heart. Just as he was about to react, a cold intent suddenly came from around his body.

"Spear Settles, Destruction!"

Xiao Han's emotionless voice rang out behind the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill. Violent cold air tore through the space, and then a spear thrust down.

"Emperor Seal Art, Ancient Emperor Seal!"

"Burning Heaven!"

A long spear, a palm print, and a sea of fire—the three attacks arrived unexpectedly. The immense pressure made the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill feel a shock.

"Emperor Pill Palm!"

His figure changed abruptly, and he pushed both palms toward his back. A light orb the size of a human head suddenly emerged, emitting brilliant and strange colors. Hidden beneath the flower-like scene was power that could destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth.

"Boom~"

The collision of the four Dou Techniques caused the space of the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion, stable as it was, to inevitably tremble a few times before finally slowly returning to stability.

"Damn it, this medicinal pill of yours hurts too much when it hits people." Huang Jingtian's complaining voice rang out.

The next moment, in the mid-air shrouded by smoke and dust, a figure was sent flying backward. With a head of brilliant colorful hair, it was none other than the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill, who had been arrogant just a minute ago. At this time, his face carried deep astonishment.

"It's not over yet!" Zhu Kun suddenly appeared above the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill. He had condensed a golden long sword at some unknown time. Accompanied by his hand gesture, the long sword slashed down toward the head of the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill under the latter's horrified gaze.

"Let this medicinal pill of yours have a good taste of the Dragon-Slaying Sword of the Dragon Emperor lineage."

In his panic, the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill suddenly erupted with endless medicinal fragrance, which condensed into a thick, heavy shield where the Dragon-Slaying Sword passed.

"Bang!"

After the violent collision sound, the disheveled figure shot toward the ground, smashing a deep pit with a diameter of a thousand feet into the solid earth.

"Puff!"

The leaping Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill immediately spat out a mouthful of blood that emitted a thick medicinal fragrance, staring vigilantly at the five people looking down from above.

"Let this old man leave, and everything inside the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion will be yours."

"I can even tell you..." The Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill's eyes flickered, and he finally steeled his heart.

"The inheritance of that old thing Tuoshe."

The current Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill had already had his temper beaten out of him by the joint efforts of the group. Damn it, what kind of bad luck had he run into? The cave mansion had finally opened, and he had hope of escaping, only to run head-on into five Nine-Star Dou Sheng powerhouses. He wasn't even a Dou Di yet!

Are you kidding me?

If he continued to fight, although he could still hold on, he would definitely be captured within at most half an hour. Since it was like this, it would be better to try and trade for a way to survive.

However...

Xiao Han and the others could not help but sneer in their hearts. What a joke; the most valuable things in the Ancient Emperor Cave Mansion were the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill and the Ancient God Inheritance. According to the division made in advance, everyone would compete fairly for the Ancient God Inheritance, and this thing would depend on fate (although Xiao Yan had basically already reserved it, they couldn't make it too obvious).

Taking the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill as insurance, once it was clear no one would obtain the inheritance, it would be handed to either Zhu Kun or Gu Yuan to attempt the breakthrough; as long as one Imperial fighter appeared, the days ahead would be secure.

With the hope of becoming an Imperial fighter laid out before them, other things were worth nothing!

"If these are your final words, then be on your way!"

"Do it!"
