Chapter 438 The Terrifying Pill
Lightning pulsed as thunder boomed.
Qian Huai’s heart-rending scream rang out from the blinding brilliance, indicating that he had sustained terrible injuries.
Lin Xun stood far away as he watched unblinkingly.
His body bore countless sword wounds and was drenched in blood as if he had just soaked in a pool filled with it. It was an exceptionally bloody sight.
Despite this, Lin Xun seemed oblivious to the pain, his expression remaining extremely calm and cold.
In Blood Kill Camp, he had been bloodied in training countless times. No matter how severe his injuries were, he would not allow any pain to affect him as long as he could still draw breath.
Qian Huai’s screaming rapidly weakened. Unlike before, he did not charge out this time.
It was only when the light finally faded that a figure dropped from the sky and crashed onto the ground.
It was naturally Qian Huai. However, the Heaven Ascension expert was now on the verge of death.
His body was a bloody mess, and his injuries had worsened to an unrecoverable state. All he could do was gasp for air as he lay on the ground.
This was the terror of the Sky Suppressing Bead. Even a Heaven Ascension expert like Qian Huai had succumbed after being struck by the full force of two beads!
Upon seeing this, Lin Xun approached without hesitation. He raised his blade and swung at the older man’s neck!
Qian Huai failed to muster any resistance from start to end. He could only watch in anger, confusion, and fear.
Only after the blade fell did his gaze finally turn dull, empty, and lifeless.
Qian Huai would never have imagined that a mighty Heaven Ascension expert like himself would ultimately die at the hands of a Spirit Sea youngster.
Lin Xun silently stored his blade before he retrieved Qian Huai’s storage ring and his silver sword.
He then turned to leave.
Although he was still bleeding profusely, there was no time to tend to his injuries. He dashed forth like a lone injured wolf, advancing with the strong will to live.
From the outside, no one would be able to tell that Lin Xun was at his limit. Moreover, he was in danger of collapsing at any moment due to his grave injuries!
Although the earlier chase might not have appeared taxing, only Lin Xun could understand the overwhelming pressure he had experienced in the face of Qian Huai’s terrifying onslaught.
It was not an exaggeration to say that his only hope had been the two remaining Sky Suppressing Beads.
To ensure the beads struck a fatal blow, he had gambled on an extremely high-risk and dangerous method.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFor Qian Huai, Lin Xun's repeated bluffs were laughable.
But for Lin Xun, it had been his only option!
Fortunately, he had succeeded in the end. The two beads had not been wasted and were able to subdue Qian Huai, ending the heart-pumping chase.
……
Rustle~
Seven minutes after Lin Xun left, two figures appeared in the area: Wei Jun and the girl wearing a purple dress.
Upon seeing Qian Huai’s headless corpse, Wei Jun turned rigid as he involuntarily cried out, “Qian Huai!”
The girl’s expression also changed drastically as her hands and feet turned ice-cold.
Both of them had never imagined that a Heaven Ascension expert like Qian Huai would be killed while chasing a mere advanced Spirit Sea youngster!
After a long time, Wei Jun roared in anger, “Who did this? Who?!”
Qian Huai was an old servant who had always silently protected him with utmost loyalty.
The girl clenched her jaw and said, “Senior Brother Wei Jun, it must be him!”
“No matter who it is, I will make him pay a hundredfold!” Wei Jun howled with a sinister expression.
The girl shivered. She knew that Qian Huai’s death had fully infuriated Senior Brother Wei Jun, who was highly regarded by the clan and came from an extremely distinguished background!
“Junior Sister Ren, send out messages to gather our fellow Fire Refining Sect disciples that are scattered in Mount Luohou so we can hunt down that little shit!”
Wei Jun took a deep breath before he ordered with an ice-cold expression, “Tell them that whoever manages to kill that little shit will be awarded a Soaring Dipper Pill and a hundred high-grade aeth crystals!”
The girl gasped.
Soaring Dipper Pill!
It was a priceless pill that could aid a Spirit Sea expert in attacking the Heaven Ascension stage!
Even in the Fire Refining Sect, only core disciples would own such an invaluable pill!
There were also an additional hundred high-grade aeth crystals! It was an irresistible reward for any Spirit Sea expert!
That kid is finished…
The girl in purple instantly realized that it no longer mattered if Lin Xun was the culprit or what his identity was. The moment he had angered Wei Jun was the moment he could no longer leave Mount Luohou!
……
The final rays of the setting sun shone on the vast and endless mountains.
On a mountain grassland, golden grass was spread out like an ocean, gently swaying in the wind. Everything was dyed a magnificent red by the setting sun.
A lone figure advanced through the grass. The setting sun’s rays shone on his body, making it impossible to tell which was redder, the reflection of the rays or the blood on him.
Lin Xun did not know where he was, but his survival instinct urged him to continue walking.
His body had already become numb and he could no longer feel any pain. Although his wounds had stopped bleeding, they continued to worsen as time passed.
Worst of all, his stamina was rapidly reaching rock bottom.
Any random cultivator would be able to easily kill Lin Xun in this state.
He had to stop!
Lin Xun suddenly stopped all of a sudden. He had reached his limit and was about to lose consciousness.
He immediately sat down and gritted his teeth to remain calm as he retrieved a crystal-clear jade bottle.
The bottle was sealed by a mysterious and cryptic rune. He had obtained it as a reward from the empress’ birthday celebration, and it contained a single pill.
Lin Xun’s shaking finger pried the seal open. A cold fragrance immediately surged out, jolting him awake.
A mere whiff had brought unimaginable effects!
He quickly tilted the bottle and a pill the size of a longan fruit rolled out. It gleamed brightly like a sapphire gem and gave off a faint blue glow. If one were to take a closer look, one would see clouds swirling in the pill.
A single glance would tell anyone that this was an extraordinary pill! It was at least a heaven-grade pill and was very possibly even a higher grade than that!
Lin Xun did not know what function it had, but he had no time to think about such things at this moment. He quickly opened his mouth and popped it in.
His mouth was instantly invaded by a bone-piercing chill, causing his entire body to tremble uncontrollably.
When the pill reached his stomach, the bone-piercing chill abruptly exploded as a terrifying and torrential surge of energy began to spread in his body.
The energy was too enormous and unimaginably terrifying. In an instant, Lin Xun felt as if an army was charging about in his body, causing intense pain to his organs, channels, and every fiber of his being.
Rumble~
When the ice-cold energy rushed into his almost empty qi sea, it seemed to have finally found its home as it rapidly spread out with a loud rumble.
Lin Xun was horrified.
What kind of pill is this? Why is its medicinal power so frightening!?
He did not dare to delay a moment longer and immediately took a deep breath as he began circulating the Mystery Grotto Devour Wilderness Scripture. He quickly entered a meditative state.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, Lin Xun’s heart was soon filled with shock. He had still grossly underestimated the pill’s power. The berserk ice-cold energy seemed endless as it transformed into a violently churning ocean in his qi sea. Moreover, it was not stopping and was growing increasingly volatile…
The Mystery Grotto Devour Wilderness Scripture was barely able to keep up with the rapidly growing energy!
Rumble~
This trend continued until a storm rose from his qi sea and began working together with the Mystery Grotto Devour Wilderness Scripture to refine the terrifying medicinal power.
Lin Xun’s four heart acupuncture points also began to resonate, forming a storm grinder with the storm in the qi sea.
Only then was he barely able to control the rapidly rising power.
This showed how terrifying the pill was. Even the Mystery Grotto Devour Wilderness Scripture and Storm Grinder operating together at full power were barely able to control the pill’s power!
The cultivation and body of any other Spirit Sea cultivator would have likely been destroyed by the frightening medicinal power.
However—
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea passed, Lin Xun’s expression changed again because the pill’s power was still rapidly rising!
It was like an untamable volcano that had suddenly erupted!
Boom!
Lin Xun felt as if his body was on the verge of bursting as volatile power rapidly pumped into his body.
He instantly lost control and fell unconscious as his body crumpled to the ground.
The golden field was soon covered by the darkness of the night.
A youngster lay on the ground unconscious. When night arrived, however, a terrifying aura suddenly pulsed from his body.
It was an aura akin to the deep, bottomless abyss!
It shakily rushed into the sky, turning into a storm that rippled the air and scattered the clouds!
Rumble~
An astonishing rumble shook the darkness, twisting the light of the stars. On the ground, the grass was ruthlessly uprooted by a giant invisible hand, rapidly disintegrating as they flew into the air.
Woowoowoo~
The wind howled. With Lin Xun at the center, all the grass, rocks, and life within a ten-mile radius were obliterated from existence.
Far away, numerous beasts roared and hissed in fear and agitation. They fled and hid in a panic as if afraid of being affected. It was a chilling sight in the ink-black darkness.
From a distance, it looked as if the entire area had turned into a large abyss from which the mother of all storms charged out as if to devour the sky!
All of this came from the aura released by Lin Xun’s body.
In his unconscious state, he was unaware of an illusory aeth artery slowly emerging from his four heart acupuncture points…
