Chapter 408

The firmament was like ink, the galaxy inverted, and billions of strands of Chaos Qi descended from the void, transforming into wisps of mysterious light.

Above the Divine Court, Tai Yi stood in the air, holding the Chaos Bell in one hand. His figure was as upright as a pine, yet as light as a feather, his temperament transcendent.

He didn't look at all like someone who had just experienced a great battle; his entire state was very relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face.

"Fellow Daoist's cultivation is profound and peerless; Tai Yi is impressed!"

"The battle just now, I lost."

Tai Yi's eyes were like torches, his expression frank, without the slightest bit of affectation.

Having fought Nv Wa for nine days, it seemed as though the other party had been bombarding him wildly with three divine artifacts.

But in reality, the divine artifact she used most often, and which truly represented slaughter—the Red Sleeve Heavenly Blade—had not been deployed.

Furthermore, the ten Nv Wa Dao-bodies had not appeared either.

They might not have only appeared in the Wilderness of Liguang to rob passing divinities.

As long as Nv Wa was willing, she could certainly manifest the ten great Dao-bodies, such as the Creation Wa Empress, the Transformation Wa Empress, the Life Wa Empress, the Time Wa Empress, the Space Wa Empress, the Marriage Wa Empress, etc., and directly challenge their entire Divine Court leadership.

What's more...

【I always seem to have an illusion that her strength doesn't stop there?】 Tai Yi trusted his spiritual intuition; he seriously suspected that Nv Wa had already broken through to the Taiyi Great Luo realm at this moment.

However, faced with Tai Yi's straightforward admission of defeat, Nv Wa shook her head.

"Fellow Daoist's methods were not fully exhausted either; just now, it could at most be considered a draw."

One must know that all the gods of Taiwei are subject to the authority of the Heavenly Emperor.

As long as Tai Yi was willing to expose himself and switch to the shared account 【Sun Yao Solar Supreme】, he could use certain mandatory measures that only the Heavenly Emperor could employ.

For example, locking Nv Wa into the Heavenly Dao dark room.

In that case, no matter how Nv Wa fought, it would be a guaranteed loss.

Unless Nv Wa truly decided to rebel and sever ties with the Taiwei Heavenly Court, it would be impossible to use the strength of a Taiyi Great Luo to turn the tables.

Seeing them still at a stalemate, Heavenly Consort Ying Long stepped forward to smooth things over: "You don't get to know each other without fighting; come, come, let's eat and chat!"

"Isn't it just the position of 【Eastern Emperor】?"

"We can talk it over properly!"

Tai Yi also felt that this was about enough, so he said: "Please enter the banquet, Fellow Daoist; I accept this position of 【Eastern Emperor】!"

"Good!"

Thus, Nv Wa took the opportunity to enter the Divine Court and mingle with the Divine Court crowd.

Hmm, not physically this time.

Jin Tingshan.

"Two Fellow Daoists, you must be careful!"

"The move I am about to use is a supreme Alchemy Dao technique I have only recently realized; its power is infinite and its changes are unfathomable. If you are the slightest bit careless, you might... well, in short, experience it for yourselves!"

A profound and unfathomable smile appeared on Taishang's face.

In those eyes, which were usually as still as an ancient well, a trace of indescribable excitement flickered at this moment.

"Taste my Alchemy Dao Great Art!"

As the words fell, Taishang waved his large sleeve!

In an instant, hundreds or thousands of medicinal pills, shining with strange lights of various colors and emitting a rich medicinal fragrance, yet faintly carrying a trace of ominous aura, shot out from his sleeve like a tidal wave!

These pills were numerous and dazzling, each containing extremely pure and majestic energy.

There was the 【Nine-Turn Yuan-Nurturing Pill】, which was emerald green, full of vitality, and could replenish endless essence upon entering the mouth!

There was the 【Taiqing Heaven-Returning Pill】, golden and brilliant, covered in Dao patterns, and claimed to be able to bring the dead back to life and restore all injuries instantly!

And there was the 【Primordial Qi-Replenishing Pill】, swirling with purple mist and rosy light, capable of directly replenishing a cultivator's innate primordial Qi and significantly increasing their Dao practice!

However, what was jaw-dropping was that after Taishang took out these top-tier healing medicines and cultivation treasures of the Primordial world, he did not consume them himself to enhance his own combat power.

Instead, he used them on the Azure Dragon and Daoist Yuchen.

"Fellow Daoist Meng Zhang, be careful!" Daoist Yuchen's divine sense moved; his left hand formed a seal to protect himself, while he sent a sound transmission to the Azure Dragon. The two tore through space and time, fleeing directly.

"Want to run? Too late!"

Looking at the somewhat flustered Yuchen and the bewildered Azure Dragon, Taishang feigned a ferocious smile: "Hehehe~~"

"Two Fellow Daoists, the great formation is already open; it wouldn't be very good to leave without experiencing it!"

He saw him pinching mysterious seals with both hands, chanting words in his mouth.

Those pills that had shot out actually linked together in an inconceivable way in mid-air, echoing each other and emitting infinite medicinal brilliance.

Instantly, a great formation covering the void was activated, blocking Daoist Yuchen, who was about to retreat.

Inside the formation, the medicinal fragrance was rich to the extreme, almost turning into substance!

Countless phantoms of pills floated within, sometimes turning into blades, spears, swords, and halberds, sometimes into dragons, tigers, turtles, and phoenixes, and sometimes evolving into various strange illusions that intoxicated the mind and shook the Dao heart!

Even more bizarre was that the majestic medicinal power emitted by these pills was not gently nourishing, but like a bursting levee, through all sorts of inconceivable and impossible-to-guard-against strange means, madly and forcibly pouring into the bodies of Daoist Yuchen and Yunlu Yunlu Shenjun Meng Zhang, who were inside the formation!

Some pills directly ignored their protective divine light, forcibly penetrating their skin and pores like maggots on a bone!

Other pills turned into invisible medicinal Qi, silently invading their internal organs along with their breathing!

There were even some more overbearing pills that directly evolved into tiny Alchemy Dao law chains, attempting to forcibly inject medicinal power into their primordial spirits and true spirits!

"Pfft——!!!"

Even with the Great Luo bodies of Daoist Yuchen and Yunlu Yunlu Shenjun Meng Zhang, under such a massive and violent saturated attack of medicinal pills, they couldn't help but groan in unison.

They only felt their internal blood surging and their primordial spirits shaking, as if they were about to be burst alive by this sudden and overly massive "nourishment"!

The medicinal effects of various pills were like wild horses that had slipped their bridles, madly clashing, erupting, and raging within their bodies!

Sometimes they felt their whole bodies filled with inexhaustible strength, as if they could blow up a star with one punch;

Sometimes they felt their souls drifting, as if they were about to feather and ascend, rising to become immortals;

Sometimes they would produce all sorts of bizarre and grotesque hallucinations, seeing some unspeakable and terrifying scenes...

Yunlu Yunlu Shenjun Meng Zhang's usually dignified dragon face was almost twisted into a ball at this moment.

At this moment, he only felt that his entire body was filled with unprecedented, explosive power.

While struggling to resist the majestic medicinal power surging like a volcanic eruption within his body, Yunlu Yunlu Shenjun Meng Zhang gritted his teeth and looked at Taishang, asking:

"You... what kind of formation is this?"

"What kind of formation?"

Taishang thought for a moment and smiled: "You can call it the Nourishment Great Formation."

"These pills are all nourishing pills I carefully refined; eating one will make you feel spirited."

"How about it, are you feeling spirited now?"

"Not spirited!" Daoist Yuchen, in his green robes, had a cold expression, and the hand holding the Qingping Sword trembled imperceptibly.

Being injected with so many nourishing pills.

He was far more than just spirited now.

He was even a bit too spirited!

Daoist Yuchen really wanted to ask Taishang a question—these pills, which sound like they are for internal use, how did you manage to force them to be applied externally!

And forcing them onto two Great Luo Supremes!

"Fellow Daoist's Alchemy Dao is truly poisonous!"

Daoist Yuchen sighed.

"It's not just poisonous, it's downright vicious!" the Azure Dragon complained.

Under this formation, even his own Eastern Wood vitality, which he had originally mastered to perfection and could control like his own arm, began to show a trace of subtle, uncontrollable deviation and disorder!

For any god who has achieved success in cultivation, this is absolutely a terrifying thing that would make one's hair stand on end!

Especially for top-tier Supremes like them who have long since attained the Great Luo, whose every move conforms to the Heavenly Heart, and whose words become law.

Any subtle evolution of their power is an external derivation and perfect embodiment of their own Dao philosophy.

If even the control of one's own power shows such obvious deviation and loss of control, then there is only one possibility—your own Dao has been polluted, eroded, and twisted by external forces!

"Every medicine has three parts poison; that is the rule of my Alchemy Dao."

Taishang gave a black-bellied smile as he looked at Yuchen and the Azure Dragon. "Likewise, this can also serve as the power of a Dao fruit."

This Nourishment Great Formation was intended to use this pill formation, which appeared to be "nourishing and health-preserving" but actually contained infinite medicinal poison and conflicting medicinal properties, to fiercely assault the Dao hearts of Yuchen and Meng Zhang.

"As a Great Luo who masters the Alchemy Dao, is it not reasonable for me to apply some great nourishing pills externally while injecting a little medicinal poison into you?"

This... is this reasonable?!

This is simply beyond outrageous!!!

Daoist Yuchen was also completely dumbfounded by his second brother's sudden "wild operation" at this moment.

He had originally thought that today's Dao discussion would at most be a competition of divine abilities and a verification of Dao insights.

A friendly spar, good for everyone.

Who would have thought that his second brother, who usually looked thick-browed, big-eyed, and had the air of an immortal, would flip the table right from the start and not play by the rules.

He directly arranged a meal of medicinal poison for him and Yunlu Yunlu Shenjun Meng Zhang.

Daoist Yuchen felt mentally exhausted at this moment.

【I knew it, one cannot expect the Taiwei gods to remain serious at all times!】

While struggling to circulate and resolve the various medicinal powers that were rampaging through his body like he had opened a "musou" mode, Daoist Yuchen shouted at Taishang outside the formation with a wry smile.

【Second Brother! You... you should stop now! If you keep injecting like this, I'm afraid Fellow Daoist Meng Zhang and I will really be 'nourished' to death by you!】

However, Taishang turned a deaf ear to his third brother's "plea for mercy."

He said leisurely: 【Third Brother, don't be anxious, no need to panic.】

【Although this formation appears dangerous, it actually contains infinite creation.】

【What you are enduring right now is the 'Ten Thousand Tribulations Pill Poison Returning-to-Truth Body-Tempering Great Art,' which I have carefully formulated by combining the origin of Taiqing Alchemy Dao with Yin-Yang, Five Elements, Zhou Tian stars, and even a trace of Chaos pharmacology!】

【The wonder of this method lies in using poison to fight poison and using tribulations to refine the truth, which can help you 'nourish' your bodies.】

【Therefore, do not resist; open your minds and enjoy this 'Alchemy Dao Feast' that I have carefully prepared for you!】

【I guarantee it will leave you wanting more and with an endless aftertaste!】

By the time Taishang finished speaking, the profound and unfathomable smile at the corner of his mouth had become even more... chilling.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Yuchen and Yunlu Yunlu Shenjun Meng Zhang felt a strong, ominous premonition rise in their hearts simultaneously.

"We surrender!"

Daoist Yuchen was very decisive and immediately shouted his surrender loudly.

Yunlu Yunlu Shenjun Meng Zhang couldn't take it anymore either and directly admitted defeat.

"Our Divine Palace's Palace Master can do everything; you can take him away!"

"He will definitely be able to shine in the position of 【Xi Emperor】 and handle all affairs well!"

At this point, he couldn't care about the conditions before the battle started.

Sending these two disasters away was the real priority now!

Hearing Fu Xi, who was lying there like a corpse, felt his fists harden upon hearing the Azure Dragon's shout.

He felt that it might be better to fake his death right now.

However, this idea was destined to fail.

Seeing him fall, the members of the Ten Directions Divine Palace were all flustered.

They hurriedly stepped forward, huddled around Hearing Fu Xi, and fed him all sorts of spiritual pills and miraculous medicines.

"Palace Master, you cannot die!" The River God Bingyi held Hearing Fu Xi's "corpse" and wailed loudly.

Yun Yangzi anxiously shouted to Daoist Yuchen: "Vice Palace Master, Vice Palace Master, where is your Purple Lightning Hammer? Quickly take it out to save the Palace Master!"

"The Purple Lightning Hammer is with me!" It was Duobao who spoke.

He squeezed out of the crowd with an excited face, flipped his right hand, and took out the supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure—the Purple Lightning Hammer.

"Everyone, move aside, the Palace Master needs electrotherapy!"

Duobao swung the Purple Lightning Hammer in his hand in a circle, held it over his head, and chanted the true incantation.

"Purple lightning shines bright, purple lightning glows grand, Palace Master, Palace Master, cry for your father and mother!"

Rumble rumble!!

Dark clouds rolled in the sky, thunder dragons and lightning pythons hissed, and thirty-six terrifying purple thunderbolts were brewing.

At this moment, Hearing Fu Xi's eyes suddenly snapped open, and he sat up with a start.

"Great, the Palace Master has come back to life!" The gods were overjoyed.

Duobao regretfully put away the Purple Lightning Hammer.

"Cough, cough, help me up!" Hearing Fu Xi coughed lightly, his face pale, putting on an appearance of being severely injured and unhealed, and said in a weak tone.

"Oh, okay, okay, okay!" Everyone carefully helped him up.

"Fellow Daoist, disperse the formation; I agree to this imperial throne." Hearing Fu Xi sighed slightly.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~

The Chaos Qi surged, and the surrounding scene changed drastically.

The entire martial arts arena disappeared.

They had returned to the Myriad Phenomena Divine Palace.

【Phew~~, it's finally over.】 The Azure Dragon hurriedly checked his body, fearing that Supreme Jingyao had left him with some improper pill poison.

Daoist Yuchen was also silently regulating his breath, clearing away the Alchemy Dao pollution from his body.

Taishang's move was too ruthless.

Yuchen had never seen the other party use it before.
