CHAPTER 769: CHAPTER 312: GOLDEN CROW LIVING BODY PILL

Beneath the resplendent starry sky, stars scattered like silver radiance.

Chi Huo’s body shuddered, the golden blood inside him reversed flow as his severed palm was resurrected, swiftly regenerating.

Filled with rage, he stood in the void, his eyes cold and harsh as he shouted at the Ancestor of the Desolate, "Pretty boy, I bet it’s you who’s going to die! I think you should just come over and let me do the killing!"

The meaning in Chi Huo’s words was clear: Thinking that I’ll die? Impossible!

"Good, you’ve got guts! I’ll come over and let you kill me, let’s see if you’ve got what it takes!" The Ancestor of the Desolate’s face suddenly sank, murder intent all over, as he stepped forward and charged.

"I know your cultivation is above mine! But, I believe I can kill you despite that! Die!"

Chi Huo went completely berserk, hypnotizing himself in his mind continuously while his Primordial Spirit melted into the Heavenly Dao, summoning the power of myriad Fire Element Rules, and conjured a large hand shimmering with golden flames, violently smashing it down.

"Boom!"

The berserk power of the Golden Crow scorched Heaven and Earth, and in an instant, everything collapsed; stars and sun and moon all trembled at once, the Fire Element Rules exploding in full, destroying everything within a hundred miles.

A hint of surprise appeared on the Ancestor of the Desolate’s face; he hadn’t expected that Chi Huo, in a state of utter madness, could wield a power tenfold greater than his own.

But what of tenfold? The gulf between a cultivator just entering the Saint Realm and a Half-step Heaven Peak with Great Power is more than tenfold or a hundredfold.

"This is getting interesting, but this strength of yours just barely withstands one-thousandth of my power!"

The Ancestor of the Desolate’s eyes revealed a trace of disdain; he held an axe in one hand and effortlessly struck, his motion as gentle as a breeze across the sea.

"Boom!"

However, the gentleness of the motion didn’t mean that the attack it unleashed was also weak.

The axe light clashed with the fiery hand, producing a heaven-shattering roar, the axe light annihilated the fiery hand, and as the axe light gradually dissolved into the Void, it stirred rippling maelstroms of energy, surging along the path of the fiery hand and striking directly onto Chi Huo’s body.

"Spurt!"

Chi Huo couldn’t dodge in time and violently spewed a mouthful of pure gold blood, his complexion turning pale as paper.

"Ha ha ha, your cultivation isn’t all that either, is it?" The Ancestor of the Desolate burst into hearty laughter.

Chi Huo fiercely wiped his mouth and said, "Good, I didn’t expect my full-force burst wouldn’t hurt you in the slightest; indeed, you possess boundless might. However, I’ve said that today I must slaughter you, even if I perish and my Dao vanishes, I will do it!"

Saying so, his hand shimmered with golden light, and a glistening jade bottle appeared — crystal clear, allowing everyone to clearly see a tiny pure gold Three-legged Golden Crow the size of a pinky joint inside the bottle, surrounded by pure gold flames, frolicking and leaping inside the bottle with glee.

"What is this thing? A little Golden Crow?" Long Xuhu, standing in the distant void, frowned as he murmured to himself.

Man Niu scratched his head and said, "Could it be some formidable Spiritual Treasure?"

"This is a Golden Crow Living Body Pill!" After the appearance of that jade bottle, the silent Yin Xi finally spoke up.

"What is a Golden Crow Living Body Pill?"

Everyone was momentarily stunned and turned to look at Yin Xi.

Yin Xi furrowed his brows and pondered for a long time, then said, "I remember back when I was stationed at Wanling Pass, my Master once imparted to me the alchemy techniques and Taoist scriptures, and he said that among the myriad alchemy techniques in this world, there is one that should never be practiced, one that is reviled by all alchemy masters in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds!"

"True Explanation of Soul-snatching Refining Pills!" Li Qingming’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he blurted out.

"Oh?" Yin Xi was surprised and turned to look at Li Qingming, saying, "Qingming, you know of it?"

Li Qingming nodded slightly and said, "When we first awakened our spiritual intelligence, The Three Pure Ones personally taught me and my brother on Ten Thousand Bamboo Island, and they bestowed upon us the entire legacy of the Pan Gu God. I remember in the teachings of Master Laozi, there was such a forbidden technique!"

Yin Xi stroked his chin beard and said, "Indeed, it is the True Explanation of Soul-snatching Refining Pills. This alchemy technique involves extracting the soul, Primordial Spirit, and the Power of Law Origin sensed by cultivators, then mixing them with the Great Five Elements Spirit Marrow, Chaos Red Spirit Liquid... and dozens of other precious innate items to melt and refine them together! It’s extremely rare!"

"That’s too cruel, but what is the effect of such a thing?"

Hearing that the pill involved extracting cultivators’ souls and Primordial Spirits for refining, everyone shuddered unanimously, but they were incredibly curious about its effects.

Yin Xi fell silent for a while, then spoke, "Within an hour, it increases one’s cultivation by a hundred times!"

"What?"

Everyone was in shock, feeling a chill rise up their backs.

"However, there’s a downside to pills refined by this method!" Seeing everyone’s expressions, Yin Xi suddenly smiled and said, "Whoever consumes this pill may have their cultivation increased by a hundred times within an hour, but it also signifies the end of their life. After an hour, not only will the user’s body perish, but even their Primordial Spirit and soul cannot be preserved!"

"Damn! That’s harsh!"

Everyone gasped, clearly understanding this was a pill that exchanged life for life. It was unclear if it could harm others, but those who took the pill were certain to die in the end.

"Chi Huo, what the hell are you doing?" Just at this moment, Chi Yan, who had successfully broken through the silver light barrier, rushed to Chi Huo’s side and snatched the jade bottle from his hand.

"Chi Yan, mind your own damn business!" Chi Huo snatched back the pill, pushed Chi Yan away, and said, "You don’t need to worry about my affairs!"

Chi Yan wanted to say something, but a very anxious voice came from within his heart, "Chi Yan, I’ll take this Golden Crow Living Body Pill in a bit and create a gap in this Protection Shield for you. Take that chance to escape as far as you can!"

Chi Yan’s face changed, and he transmitted his voice to Chi Huo, "You bastard, if I abandon you, won’t our tribesmen laugh at me?"

Chi Huo became even more impatient, "Stop arguing! If you care, go back to the Golden Crow Sacred Realm afterward and report the matter to the Great Emperor, he will surely avenge me!"

After saying this, Chi Huo gripped the jade bottle hard, smashing it, and a lifelike Golden Crow Living Body Pill, almost fleeing into the Void, cried out as Chi Huo threw it into his mouth.

"Quack quack~~~"

Chi Huo let out a long howl, and his body radiated pure gold light, like a divine sun spanning the sky. His overwhelming momentum nearly annihilated everything step by step. The blazing Sun Essence Fire within his body finally transformed into the Heavenly Fire Rule Power.

He became the Great Sun, breathing out intense light, emitting terrifying heat, and his presence was strong enough to incinerate everything in the world! (To be continued.
