Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 633 ends, aftershocks

Yao Wangui stared wide-eyed at the magnificent six-colored fire lotus, his lips trembling slightly as if he wanted to say something, but Lin Yuan did not give him a chance to waste words.

Lin Yuan wouldn't give a four-star Dou Sheng any chance to retaliate.

"Go!" Lin Yuan shouted softly, and with a gentle push of his palm, the six-colored fire lotus shot out like an arrow, tearing through space and rushing towards Yao Wangui. Wherever it passed, the space was scorched and distorted, leaving behind streaks of pitch black.

Looking at the six-colored fire lotus that had locked onto him, Yao Wangui's eyes were filled with terror. Such terrifying destructive power was no less than that of a high-level Heaven-rank combat skill.

"No...it's impossible! How could I die here!"

Yao Wangui gritted his teeth, trying to mobilize the power within his body to defend himself, but the two attacks had already severely damaged his vitality, and the circulation of his soul power and battle qi had become sluggish.

"Return to One Bell!"

But just as the fiery lotus was about to strike, a massive protective bell, almost tangible, finally materialized and shielded him within it.

"You old bastard, go to the Yellow Springs!"

Looking at Yao Wangui, whose eyes were filled with panic inside the giant bell, Lin Yuan smiled coldly. With a gentle flap of the Heavenly Phoenix Wings on his back, he retreated like lightning. At that moment, the hand seals in his hands suddenly changed.

At the same time, a clear syllable was softly uttered from Lin Yuan's mouth.

"burst--"

With a low shout, the six-colored fire lotus that had rushed to the giant bell stopped quietly, and then exploded in Yao Wangui's horrified gaze!

A massive firestorm swept across the void in an instant.

A deafening roar, loud enough to deafen one's ears, resounded across the distant sky like a thunderclap. After the extremely loud sound was heard, the world fell into an unusual silence.

The next instant, a firestorm thousands of feet high swept across the sky, causing the space that Zi Yan had specially reinforced to crack under the weight.

Lin Yuan stood at the edge of the firestorm with a cold gaze, carefully sensing the situation inside.

As the firestorm subsided slightly, he decisively enveloped his body in the strange fire, then lightly flapped his phoenix wings and charged directly into the heart of the firestorm.

Before long, a mournful and ancient cry rang out from the churning storm of flames.

A quarter of an hour later, as the firestorm gradually subsided, Lin Yuan's tall and proud figure reappeared in this chaotic world.

At this moment, he had already put away the Heavenly Phoenix Wings, exited the fusion state of his natal soul core and soul, and also released the Three Core Secret Technique within his body. His aura returned to the level of a two-star Dou Sheng... Clearly, the battle with Yao Wangui was over!

Suddenly, space distorted slightly, and Zi Yan quietly appeared beside Lin Yuan. After looking him up and down for a while and confirming that Lin Yuan was unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief.

When she saw Lin Yuan disappear into the firestorm, her heart skipped a beat.

The destructive power emanating from the intertwining of six different flames is terrifying. If an ordinary low-level Battle Saint were to be drawn into it, there is a 99% chance that they would be annihilated, body and soul.

The Five-Colored Fire Lotus is already at the advanced level of the Heavenly Rank.

The Six-Colored Fire Lotus, in terms of its destructive power alone, is considered to be among the best, even among the many high-level Heaven-rank combat techniques.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan had the protection of the spirit talisman of the strange fire, making it extremely difficult for him to be harmed by the strange fire he had subdued.

Therefore, although he had forced his way into the firestorm and killed Yao Wangui, he was only slightly weakened due to excessive exertion and did not suffer any serious injuries.

In this battle that confirmed his own strength, Lin Yuan defeated his opponent with an almost absolute advantage.

"Tsk tsk, as expected of my brother, he's really amazing!" Zi Yan patted Lin Yuan's shoulder and exclaimed in amazement, "With those combo moves you just made, I reckon very few people below the five-star Dou Sheng level could withstand them..."

She possesses the body of a dragon and phoenix and a soul at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Rank, so she naturally has extremely strong power to fight beyond her realm, but she can't reach the level of Lin Yuan.

After all, the technique of fusing different flames is simply too powerful in terms of destructive force.

Based on Zi Yan's understanding of Lin Yuan, she was confident that the six-colored fire lotus technique he had just used was not his limit, and he probably had even more powerful trump cards up his sleeve.

She guessed that if Lin Yuan were to unleash his full power, he might be able to fight against a five-star Dou Sheng.

Thinking of this, Zi Yan couldn't help but secretly marvel.

She herself had consumed a large number of pills, the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, and obtained many other opportunities to achieve her current terrifying strength. However, Lin Yuan seemed to have gradually caught up with her without her even realizing it.
Zi Yan knew that Lin Yuan had prepared many trump cards in advance, which would allow him to make rapid progress in the Dou Sheng stage.

Perhaps it won't be long before Lin Yuan breaks through to the intermediate Dou Sheng level!
If she doesn't work harder, she might really be overtaken... At this moment, her heart, which had relaxed a bit due to her sudden increase in strength, couldn't help but feel a bit more urgent.

As the brute force queen who consistently topped the rankings at Canaan Academy, she also possesses a strong competitive spirit.

If she could, she'd want to be the one with the biggest fist in the house... just like she likes being on top!
"What's wrong, Ziyan?"

After Lin Yuan took the pill to replenish his battle qi, he saw that Zi Yan seemed to be deep in thought, and asked her softly.

"Nothing?" Zi Yan waved her hand, then looked around and said with interest, "By the way, what about that old thing from the Medicine Clan? Did he turn to ashes in that attack?"

"Of course not, that would be too wasteful." Lin Yuan shook his head and glanced at his storage ring.

“No matter what, Yao Wangui is a four-star Dou Sheng. His body and soul are of great use. How could I let him be destroyed by the fire storm? After I pierced his heart, I extracted and sealed his soul.”

"If we can get him to talk, we'll definitely be able to get a lot of secret information about the Medicine Clan, cultivation techniques, combat skills, and advanced alchemy techniques!"

"Yao Wangui, if used properly, can significantly improve my abilities."

Even disregarding other factors, the soul essence extracted from Yao Wangui, a late-stage Heavenly Realm Four-Star Dou Sheng, is comparable to that of several ordinary Dou Sheng.

Not to mention the vast amount of knowledge in his mind, which is a treasure no less precious than the very essence of the soul.

At the very least, Lin Yuan can also acquire the massive number of Grade 8 and Grade 9 pill formulas accumulated by the Medicine Clan, thus contributing to future endeavors.

The number of prescriptions a pharmacist knows is one of the decisive factors in their confidence.

Although Lin Yuan obtained the Medicine Clan's inheritance of refining precious pills, profound pills, and golden pills through the bet, it was only a part of the Medicine Clan's inheritance, far from the whole.

As the Punishment Elder of the Medicine Clan, Yao Wangui is among the top ten figures in the clan and has access to most of the secrets and inheritances. If Lin Yuan can obtain them, he will have gathered the foundation of the two major alchemy groups into his own body.

The last person to achieve this level was his cheap teacher, Hun Xuzi.

Hun Xuzi not only learned the alchemy techniques of the Pill Tower but also those of the Medicine Clan. His creation of the Human Elixir method bears traces of both major alchemy schools. How could a member of the Hun Clan who dared to seek apprenticeship at the Pill Tower allow himself to miss out on the Medicine Clan's alchemy techniques?
As for how Hun Xuzi obtained the Medicine Clan's alchemy techniques, all I can say is... that's not difficult for the Hun Clan!
The Medicine-Catching Clan's torture of the Saint-level expert is something the Soul Clan has the courage and the ability to do as well.

Hundreds of years ago, Hun Xuzi personally captured a Medicine Clan Battle Saint and obtained a large amount of Medicine Clan alchemy techniques from his mind.

In the original timeline, the Medicine Clan's high-ranking members harbored extreme hostility towards Hun Xuzi, partly due to this incident. Of course, they didn't dare to actively expose or pursue the matter... because the Medicine Clan's high-ranking members were well aware that the Soul Clan's strength was far superior to that of the Medicine Clan.

To prevent other clans from following suit, the Medicine Clan not only did not investigate these matters, but also actively blocked such information.

The so-called "Medicine Clan Rules" are really nothing in the face of absolute power!

The rules of the weak are utterly worthless.

As for Hun Xuzi, after getting what he wanted, he knew when to stop and did not continue to attack the Medicine Clan, lest the Medicine Clan overturn the table and "sell themselves" to the Ancient Clan.

As a disciple of Hun Xuzi, Lin Yuan's actions this time can be considered to be in line with his predecessors.

Lin Yuan smiled knowingly, briefly contemplating the future, then turned to the beauty beside him and said, "Zi Yan, let's dispel this chaotic space! After cleaning up the traces here, we'll return directly to Dragon Island... Qing'er has succeeded."

Yao Ling, a mid-level half-saint, was not particularly outstanding in combat power. Facing Yuan Tianzun and Qing Lin, two Dou Sheng, he naturally had no ability to resist.

After sealing her and knocking her unconscious, Qinglin took her to Dragon Island.

On the other side, Zi Yan nodded upon hearing Lin Yuan's words and cooperated with him to clean up all traces of the battle.

Finally, she formed a mysterious hand seal with both hands, and exclaimed, "Release!"

Before the words were even finished, ripples spread throughout the chaotic space. The spatial barriers at the edges gradually became transparent and soon vanished into nothingness. The chaotic space deep within this void also returned to nothingness once more, leaving no trace.

Lin Yuan glanced around, looked at the completely dissolved chaotic space, nodded, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, no one can find out how Yao Wangui died!
"Let's go, Ziyan." Lin Yuan patted Ziyan's shoulder lightly and smiled, "The thing we've been planning for so long has finally come to fruition. Let's go take a look."

"A Blood Soul Spirit Body? Hehe, I'm quite interested too!"

Zi Yan chuckled, raised an eyebrow with interest, and then transformed into a streak of purple-gold light, carrying Lin Yuan as they sped towards Dragon Island.

A few days later, as news of the Pill Gathering spread from Saint Pill City, the Central Continent, which had been calm for a period of time, was once again stirred up by waves of turmoil.

So much happened at this Danish conference.

The emergence of Dou Sheng, the competition among the nine ranks, the establishment of the Dan Tower Master, the Dou Qi Continent's foundation strengthening plan... all these events, enough to shake the Central Continent, have occurred one after another in a short period of time.

The central figure in these events is Yaojun Lin Yuan.

This young man, who was only in his early twenties, had already acquired three identities: a Dou Sheng powerhouse, a ninth-grade alchemist, and the master of the Pill Tower, making him a top figure in Zhongzhou.

Just as this news broke, another message began to spread from the edge of the central region.

A few days ago, a tremendous chase took place at the border between the Central Region and the Southern Region—Lin Yuan, the Tower Master of the Pill Tower, was actually being hunted down by a powerful figure named Yao Wangui. This news shocked the entire Central State in a short period of time.

Who is this Yao Wan Gui? How could he be so brave as to dare to hunt down the Tower Master of the Pill Tower? Has he lost his mind? Did he succeed in his pursuit?

Before everyone's curiosity could be piqued for long, new information emerged.

The Tower Master of Danta fled into the Beast Domain and was rescued by Yao Ming, the patriarch of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan. He is currently safe and sound and has temporarily left Zhongzhou.

Yao Ming declared that the Tower Master of the Pill Tower was his close friend, who had saved his life and helped him regain his position as the leader of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan. Anyone who was an enemy of the Tower Master of the Pill Tower would also be an enemy of him and the Nine Netherworld Python Clan.

And this time, the strength of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan Chief also came into the view of many people—a peak three-star Dou Sheng expert.

Such strength is among the most outstanding Dou Sheng experts in Zhongzhou.

Therefore, this incident immediately attracted attention from the outside world.

The fact that the commanders of the Central Plains Tower and one of the three great magical beast families have such a good relationship suggests they might be planning some kind of deep cooperation!

These rumors, whether true or false, have made the atmosphere in Zhongzhou quite somber lately...
-
The Lesser Dan Tower, the Elder's Courtyard.

In the solemn hall, ten figures sat around a round table, discussing recent events.

Elder Lin sat solemnly in the main seat and asked in a deep voice, "Xuan Kongzi, what did the people from the Nine Netherworld Python say? How is the Tower Master doing? Was he injured by Yao Wangui? Has the Yao Clan come looking for trouble?"

"Don't worry, Elder!" Xuan Kongzi pondered for a moment, then said solemnly, "I have received the letter that the Tower Master asked them to bring back. The Tower Master is currently fine."

"But to prevent the Medicine Clan and Soul Clan from making any underhanded moves, the Tower Master is currently hiding his whereabouts."

"According to Chief Yaoming, the Tower Master has left the Beast Domain. In his letter, he told us not to worry, and that he would try to return to the Pill Tower within half a month."

"The Demon Clan Chief also sent someone to say that there is no need to worry about the safety of the Tower Master."

"The Tower Master saved his life and was invited to the Dark Serpent Mountains by him, so he will do his best to ensure the safety of the Tower Master and will not allow anyone to harm him."

"That's good! That's good!" Elder Lin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"That bastard Yao Wangui actually disregarded his status and bullied the weak like this."

“If anything happens to the Tower Master, our Pill Tower will not let this go so easily… You don’t need to worry too much. If the Tower Master still fails to return in half a month, I will try to contact the Ancestor and ask him to handle this matter.”

He paused, as if remembering something, and asked, "By the way, have those Medicine Clan people you rescued regained consciousness? What did they say? Why did they collapse over there?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Kongzi revealed a mocking smile and said gloatingly, "It's the Soul Clan. They were attacked by a Soul Clan Battle Saint."

“I used some methods to get some information out of them.”

"Yao Ziyou, one of the Ten Heroes of the Medicine Clan, seems to have already defected to the Soul Clan. He took advantage of Yao Wangui's trip to hunt down the Tower Master, exposing his location to the Soul Clan's Battle Saint, hoping to use this opportunity to eliminate these peers and seize the position of the Medicine Clan's Young Clan Leader."

"As for the five people who were not present, Yao Tian, ​​Yao Ling, Yao Ziyou, Yao Feng, and Yao Xingji, their fate is currently unknown."

"Serves him right! He let that old geezer chase after the Tower Master. He tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead!"

"The Soul Clan, huh? It's rare they've done something good!" Elder Lin nodded, saying indifferently, "Move those Medicine Clan members to a secluded place and keep a close eye on them! If the Medicine Clan poses any further threat to the Tower Master, we'll use them as a sacrifice..."
