Chapter 1635: The Might of the Alchemy Saint

Daxia City.

When that one person, one butterfly, and three beasts shattered space and descended, a terrifying pressure instantly swept across the world like a flood, shrouding all of Daxia City within it.

This stretch of heaven and earth trembled at this moment.

Li Luo, Pang Pang Qianyuan, and the others were equally shocked by this sudden upheaval. They stared with changed expressions at the leading demonic, colorful butterfly, whose emitted pressure had likewise reached the level of a Three-Crown King.

What's more, behind that demonic, colorful butterfly, the tiger, eagle, and deer beasts had all reached the level of a One-Crown King.

Such a powerful and mysterious force had suddenly descended upon Daxia City.

"Bai Mengmeng?!"

However, Li Luo quickly spotted a familiar graceful figure standing atop that demonic, colorful butterfly. His pupils couldn't help but contract. Although that figure had undergone tremendous changes compared to before—even her hair had turned into a brilliant rainbow of colors, and her temperament had likewise undergone a massive transformation—the familiar face allowed Li Luo to recognize her at a glance.

This discovery shocked Li Luo deeply. After all, no matter what, he found it hard to associate the shy, well-behaved girl of ordinary days with the seductive appearance before him now.

Moreover, in his perception, the aura of "Bai Bai Mengmeng" at this moment was almost merged as one with the demonic, colorful butterfly. In other words, that pressure no less than a Three-Crown King also came from her.

The shocked Li Luo suddenly recalled the "Ten Thousand Aspects Golden Core" that had appeared out of nowhere when he had broken through to the Unparalleled Marquis earlier...

And this very thing was what Bai Bai Mengmeng had pulled out from her bosom some time ago.

So...

Li Luo seemed to understand something. He sharply drew in a cold breath, and the shock and disbelief surging in the depths of his eyes flowed out like a tide.

Could Bai Mengmeng actually be the Alchemy Saint hidden within the lands of Daxia?!

No, more precisely, perhaps it was a sliver of consciousness from the Alchemy Saint of the Faceless Holy Sect, concealed within Bai Bai Mengmeng's body!

And judging by the current appearance, the one controlling Bai Bai Mengmeng's body was clearly not herself!

After all, that pure, sweet girl would absolutely never possess such an incongruous, seductive temperament.

More importantly, of course, was this pressure no less than a Three-Crown King.

"Those three Beast Kings are the overlords of the deepest parts of the Ancient Kun Mountain Range. I once entered the depths of the mountain range a long time ago and had brief contact with them, but they didn't welcome me, so I could only retreat. After that, I instructed everyone in the academy not to venture deep within."

"But they never step out of the Ancient Kun Mountain Range. So why have they suddenly come to Daxia City now?" Pang Pang Qianyuan muttered to himself.

"And what's with that demonic, colorful butterfly? Could it also be a Beast King from the Ancient Kun Mountain Range? But how could that mountain range possibly give birth to a Beast King of this level?!"

Pang Pang Qianyuan found it utterly inconceivable. He had been stationed in Daxia for so many years and had never discovered such a terrifying existence hidden within these lands.

Moreover, he also didn't know whether the other party's appearance at this moment meant friend or foe.

"Li Luo, do you know the background of that demonic, colorful butterfly?" Lan Lan Lingzi noticed Li Luo's expression changing drastically and hurriedly asked.

Pang Pang Qianyuan and Li Li Qingying both looked over in astonishment.

Upon hearing this, Li Luo revealed the secrets regarding the Alchemy Saint.

After hearing Li Luo's account, Pang Pang Qianyuan and the other two were utterly shocked. They had never imagined that such an earth-shattering secret was hidden within the lands of Daxia.

But along with his shock, Pang Pang Qianyuan also felt a sudden clarity. He had always wondered before why the Eight-Headed Black Demon King, a peak Three-Crown King existence, had coveted these barren lands of Daxia so greatly, sparing no expense of time to plot and scheme, and in the end even going so far as to descend in his true form. Now he understood: what interested it was not Daxia itself, but the Alchemy Saint of the Faceless Holy Sect who had survived from ancient times!

But this could at least be considered good news—for the "Alchemy Saint" before them was not an enemy.

While Li Luo and his side were in shock, there were also people in Daxia City who at this moment discovered Bai Bai Mengmeng's figure.

That would naturally be Bai Bai Doudou.

After all, the two were biological sisters who had spent so many years together, their familiarity long since etched into their very bones. So even though the pressure emanating from that one person, one butterfly, and three beasts above filled Bai Bai Doudou with fear, she still spotted Bai Bai Mengmeng's figure at the very first moment.

This discovery struck Bai Bai Doudou like lightning. An incomparable panic rose in her eyes. Although she didn't know why her younger sister would appear atop that terrifying demonic butterfly, this was bound to be an upheaval beyond her imagination.

"Bai Mengmeng!" Bai Bai Doudou screamed at the top of her lungs, her face full of anxiety, because she felt that the current Bai Bai Mengmeng was utterly alien to her.

That, perhaps, was not her sister.

She couldn't help but want to push through that terrifying pressure and leap up to rescue Bai Bai Mengmeng.

But Seeing Yu Lang beside her hurriedly held her back, urgently saying: "Bai Doudou, calm down!"

With Bai Bai Doudou's strength, the moment she got any closer to those terrifying existences, she would be directly crushed to pieces by the spilling pressure.

"But, Bai Mengmeng!" Bai Bai Doudou's eyes were red-rimmed. She knew her own sister too well—she was so pure and timid. The person radiating that terrifying aura now was absolutely not her sister's own will. So where had her sister gone?

Seeing Yu Lang's face was also solemn. Bai Bai Mengmeng's dramatic change likewise struck him as inconceivable, but worrying was useless at this point. Rushing forward rashly would only invite utter catastrophe.

While Bai Bai Doudou was going frantic with worry, the "Bai Bai Mengmeng" standing atop the demonic, colorful butterfly seemed to sense something. Her colorful eyes glanced over, and then a flat yet dignified voice reached Bai Bai Doudou's ears: "Do not worry. Bai Mengmeng is in no danger."

Hearing this voice, Bai Bai Doudou was stunned. She stared blankly at the familiar figure atop the demonic, colorful butterfly, and finally bit her lip and stopped struggling, merely leaning silently against Seeing Yu Lang's embrace, the corners of her eyes moist.

Seeing Yu Lang held her, softly and continuously soothing her.

"Alchemy Saint, you've finally emerged. I've been searching for you for so long!"

The Black Demon King stood atop the vast source of evil thoughts. Its fourteen pupils, burning with black flames, now flowed with endless greed as it stared at Bai Bai Mengmeng's figure—a Divine Fruit Heavenly King eroded to extreme weakness by the passage of time, and one who also possessed a Primordial Seed. To it, this was nothing less than a supreme treasure.

It had come to know the Alchemy Saint's traces purely by chance, having devoured a memory passed down from ancient times. Within that memory, it not only obtained the "Resurrection Curse," but also saw some fragmented images—one of which happened to be the moment when that Alchemy Saint employed a secret art to seal herself away.

The Demon Flame Underworld King likewise revealed blazing heat in his eyes. He himself was also at the Three-Crown King realm. If he could truly refine and devour this Alchemy Saint through secret arts, he might very well be able to step into the Heavenly King realm and become a true pinnacle existence of this world.

However, despite the greed filling his heart, the Demon Flame Underworld King did not dare to act rashly, and maintained sufficient wariness toward the Alchemy Saint before him. After all, no matter what, the other party was an ancient Divine Fruit Heavenly King.

And the Divine Fruit Heavenly King, even among Heavenly Kings, stood at the very top tier.

Such an existence, even after being eroded by the passage of time, remained terrifying.

For now, it was best to let this Black Demon King go probe the other party's strength first.

At this thought, the Demon Flame Underworld King activated the Heavenly King Incense in his hand. The green smoke that had originally been resisting the descent of the Eight-Headed Ghost Domain shifted once more—from pushing to pulling—and in an instant, violently tore down more than half of that Ghost Domain.

Instantly, the heavens above Daxia darkened. Endless yin winds and shrill, wailing howls descended from the sky. Countless people looked up to see a furnace-world descending.

"Eight-Headed Black Demon King, I humbly request your descent." The Demon Flame Underworld King smiled faintly.

Boom!

An indescribable source of evil thoughts descended with a thunderous crash, pouring entirely into the Black Demon King, which had a seven-headed form. In an instant, its already massive body grew taller and taller, directly transforming into a hundred-thousand-zhang giant form. At the same time, the eighth ghostly head slowly drilled out from its neck.

When the eighth head appeared, everyone present detected in horror that a terrifying pressure had enveloped this stretch of heaven and earth.

"Ssssss!"

The Black Demon King's eight ghostly heads all let out piercing shrieks in unison. Terrifying demonic might filled heaven and earth. Feeling the complete descent of its power, it could not help but let out rumbling laughter that shook the heavens.

"Hiss hiss, Pill Saint, you've been clinging to life until now—how much strength do you still have? Just obediently let me devour you!"

The Eight-Headed Black Demon King stretched out a giant hand, and between its palm countless skulls burning with black flames seemed to writhe, each spewing black lava, descending to blanket the sky as it slammed down directly toward the Pill Saint.

This palm sealed off space, leaving no possibility of escape.

The Eight-Headed Black Demon King at this moment had its strength fully restored; the peak Three-Crown King realm power made Pang Pang Qianyuan, Lan Lan Lingzi, and Li Li Qingying all unable to stop their faces from going pale.

Yet, facing the demon hand of the Eight-Headed Black Demon King descending, Bai Bai Mengmeng, who stood atop the bizarre colorful butterfly, showed no ripple in those colored pupils; her indifferent expression was as if she were gazing at an ant.

Boom!

The next instant, colored divine light swept out from behind Bai Bai Mengmeng's head, and once this divine light emerged, the entire Great Xia seemed to be encompassed within it; in the eyes of countless living beings, colored radiance was reflected.

Li Luo drew in a sharp breath, because the fluctuation of this divine light was far too familiar to him—it was exactly the... Rank Divine Light he had once unleashed!

This Pill Saint had actually left behind such terrifying power?!

Then Li Luo's heart surged with wild joy, for he knew that the Eight-Headed Black Demon King was about to suffer terribly!

Back then, the Rank Divine Light Li Luo had unleashed—just one streak—had already shattered half the body of the Five-Headed form of the Black Demon King; and now, although the Eight-Headed Black Demon King had recovered to its full prime, the Rank Divine Light that emerged from behind Bai Bai Mengmeng numbered in the hundreds and thousands, and even converged together into a slender yet enormous giant hand of divine light.

The giant hand of divine light struck out, meeting the demon hand of the Eight-Headed Black Demon King, and at the moment of contact, that demon hand instantly disintegrated, turning into a skyful of scattered ash.

The two were simply not on the same level of power.

On the burning black-flame ghost-mask heads of the Eight-Headed Black Demon King, fear also surged forth at this moment, and it let out a terrified voice: "How is this possible! How could you possibly still drive such majestic Rank Divine Light!"

Clearly, in its perception, the Pill Saint was already incomparably feeble.

Boom!

Yet the Pill Saint paid it no heed; the hand of Rank Divine light crushed the demon hand, sealed off space, and in one grab clutched the Eight-Headed Black Demon King's massive body within its palm, the Rank Divine Light circulating as it swiftly dissolved and obliterated the latter's source of evil intent.

In just a short moment, the Eight-Headed Black Demon King—which had made Pang Pang Qianyuan and the others feel powerless to resist—was ground down within that giant hand of Rank Divine Light until only eight broken ghost-mask heads remained.

This scene truly gave off the feeling of an adult beating up a child.

Li Luo, Pang Pang Qianyuan, and the others also had rather colorful expressions: since this senior Pill Saint possessed such power, why was she still hiding? Why not come out earlier and slap this Black Demon King to death? Why let him wreak havoc for so long!

Yao Yan the Underworld King was also so terrified that his face changed drastically, and the composure from before no longer remained in his eyes; at this moment, how could he fail to understand that the intelligence had gone awry—even though this Pill Saint had endured the erosion of ages, the power she possessed was still far beyond what an ordinary King realm could contend with.

Under countless horrified gazes, Bai Bai Mengmeng, standing atop the bizarre colorful butterfly, gazed indifferently at the Eight-Headed Black Demon King struggling madly in her palm, trying to escape, and a faint voice rang out.

"Do you truly believe this seat has been hiding because of you, a Three-Crown Demon King no better than pigs and dogs?"

"A mere manipulated chess piece."

Her pair of colored pupils no longer looked at the death-struggling Eight-Headed Black Demon King, but instead cast toward the void.

"The one moving the pieces behind the scenes—it's time to show yourself. Let this seat see just who it is that has been scheming and plotting against this seat!"
