Chapter 532

At that moment, a huge golden hand pierced the sky and grabbed down toward the pill furnace radiating a grand phenomenon!

That golden hand was huge enough to cover the sky and block the sun, as if it contained countless stars, with an endless galaxy flowing within it!

Which petty villain is causing trouble?

Long Lao's eyes turned cold at the sight, and a dragon's roar shot through the myriad miles of clouds.

He moved his body and arrived at the apex of the heavens, his chaotic divine power bursting forth; the aura of a quasi-Immortal Emperor at the great perfection of the God Master realm tore the heavens!

Long Lao unleashed his full cultivation and went head‑to‑head against that golden giant hand, only to hear a thunderous boom as the two collided!

The terrifying shockwave caused this heaven and earth to collapse instantly!

In that collision, Long Lao was shaken back, but he quickly steadied his stance, and his aura once again reached its peak.

The power displayed by this golden giant hand is hardly different from my own strength in human form!

Surprised as he was, Long Lao flew up again; his being shaken back was first because he had underestimated the enemy.

Second, because he had not yet transformed into his true form; only his true body could unleash his full power.

Long Lao, I will help you.

Seeing the golden giant hand about to crush down again, Liu Miao Miao likewise flew to the apex of the heavens.

With a thought, she summoned the terrifying ultimate Immortal Emperor artifact, the Refining Heaven Immortal Furnace.

At that moment, a dramatic scene unfolded: as soon as the Refining Heaven Immortal Furnace appeared, the slowly descending golden giant hand halted in place.

Soon after, a cold snort echoed from above the void, and the golden hand dissipated in the heavens and earth.

Is it… fleeing? The speed of its retreat is truly fast.

Long Lao and Liu Miao Miao exchanged a surprised glance.

They didn't know what to say; the hand came fast and left fast, fleeing before they even fought—what are we playing at?

God Master Liu, could this golden hand be…?

One of the God‑rank elders of the Divine Abyss Pill Pavilion pointed to the sky; from his astonished expression it was clear he already had the answer.

Not bad; it came from Heaven Outside Heaven.

Liu Miao Miao, flying down, nodded; only Heaven Outside Heaven could find an opponent capable of matching Long Lao.

What! Heaven Outside Heaven again!

That Li Wuzai of Heaven Outside Heaven just slaughtered so many of us; now what do they want? Do they intend to continue slaughtering our remaining people?

Hmph! Heaven Outside Heaven has countless experts, but the foundations of our Upper Three Dao Regions are not lacking either; are they trying to start a war with our Upper Three Dao Regions? This Seat fears them not!

All the pill masters were filled with righteous indignation, each wishing to rush to Heaven Outside Heaven right now and slaughter them until the heavens darken and the earth grows dim.

The mastermind behind this scheme is undoubtedly within Heaven Outside Heaven; who gave them the courage to oppose the entire pill‑refining world?

Amid the pill masters' indignant cries, Liu Miao Miao and Long Lao instead turned their gaze to that pill furnace.

It is certain that the golden hand came not to continue slaughter, but for this pill furnace.

No, more precisely, it is for the pill inside the furnace.

Just what heaven‑defying pill has my disciple refined, that it has drawn the supreme expert of Heaven Outside Heaven to make a move to seize it…

——————————

You say that golden hand came to seize this pill?

Qingyun Sect, inside the Qingyun Immortal Hall.

Feng Qingyang, seated at the main seat, took the pill Liu Miao Miao had presented, examined it closely, and then spoke.

The pill was tiny, about the size of a human thumb tip, entirely a vivid blood‑red, with no other peculiarities.

Sect Master, I and Long Lao saw clearly that the golden hand's target from the start was this pill furnace.

Sect Master, this pill was indeed refined by Elder Liu's disciple; it only showed an anomaly after those mishaps occurred midway, and I estimate the anomaly is related to those mishaps.

Long Lao laid out his guesses; this pill he could not see through, it is absolutely not simple, otherwise that person from Heaven Outside Heaven would not have personally moved to seize it.

Hmm, Feng Qingyang nodded, then put the pill away; this pill still needs detailed observation, and it's hard to say right now what it actually is.

Never mind that; our sect has learned of the incident at this pill‑refining assembly. Since your Divine Abyss Pill Pavilion is willing to submit to my Qingyun, you two may join our sect's Pill Refining Hall as elders.

As long as you serve the sect well, we will not mistreat you; you may both participate in the upcoming selection of star‑ranked elders.

Feng Qingyang sternly addressed the two ten‑star pill‑refining elders of the Divine Abyss Pill Pavilion standing on the other side of the hall below.

Although the pill‑refining assembly met with an unexpected mishap, our Qingyun seems to have picked up an even greater advantage.

By a fortunate coincidence, now seventy or eighty percent of the pill‑refining world's masters have submitted to our Qingyun's rule.

Our Pill Refining Hall isn't weak in mid‑level strength? Good, then let's pull the entire pill‑refining world over, expand and strengthen it, and create renewed glory!

We will obey the Sect Master's orders; thank you, Sect Master.

The two ten‑star elders are named Huang Tianhong and Li Feixue; both have cultivation at the second level of the God Master realm.

Their Immortal Dao cultivation is slightly lower than their Pill Dao cultivation, and both can refine intermediate‑grade Immortal Pills of the God Master level.

Very well, the two elders of the Divine Abyss Pill Pavilion should go handle the situation there; everything can remain as is, no need for changes.

If there are any Pill Dao prodigies or masters in the pavilion who wish to enter the main sect, they need only pass a single state‑of‑mind examination.

After Feng Qingyang finished speaking, he turned to Liu Miao Miao on the side and said, 'Furthermore, Liu Elder, the pill‑refining world is entrusted to you; just follow the plan you reported to the sect.'

And Elder Long, after this ordeal the Upper Three Dao Regions will surely be in turmoil; you must fully assist Elder Liu in stabilizing the situation.

As you command, Liu Miao Miao and the four others replied in unison, clasping their hands.

Thereafter, Feng Qingyang waved his hand, letting them depart.

I must say, being a sect head feels great; I only need to issue orders, and everything is handled by those below.

What? You say our sect is no different from lying flat?

Come on, issuing all these commands in one breath is still tiring, okay?

What is this called? Planning strategies within the tent, winning victories a thousand li away…

After they left, Feng Qingyang took out that blood-red pill again to examine it.

Don't say it, this little trinket is quite exquisite.

Feng Qingyang focused his spirit once more and stared intently; his bright purple pupils flickered, a dark-red arc of electricity flashed by, and his divine ability Annihilation Heaven Divine Eye activated.

With his eyes able to see through all falsehoods in the world, he refused to believe he couldn't see through this little trinket.

"Hiss!" This little trinket actually contains such terrifying energy inside!

By looking through Feng Qingyang's Divine Eye, you can see endless vast energy flowing within this tiny pill.

ps: I'm back again, same old saying, hurry up, get it?
