Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 351 Seizing the Emperor-Grade Embryo Core

In the sky, the Soul Emperor and the Void Devouring Flame, despite joining forces, did not gain any advantage. Instead, they were suppressed by the Emperor-grade embryonic pill!

Suddenly! The Emperor-grade nascent pill's palm twitched, and faintly, a rich fragrance of pills surged between heaven and earth.

"Don't inhale the fragrance of the pills!" Xiao Li shouted, frowning.

Everyone immediately held their breath, expelling the inhaled fragrance of the pill! Fortunately, the Emperor-grade nascent pill did not attack them.

"Imperial Palm!"

Above the sky, the Emperor-grade Nascent Soul suddenly opened its eyes and its body suddenly soared into the air. Then, it pressed its palm down on the Soul Emperor and the Void Devouring Flame below. The moment its palm was pressed down, a dazzling ball of light about the size of a human head suddenly emerged!

The Soul Emperor and the Void Devouring Flame below immediately sensed an extremely dangerous aura and quickly activated their boundless battle qi to form their strongest defense.

—The Soul Emperor and the Void Devouring Flame were knocked down by the Emperor-grade embryonic pill. The fact that the Soul Emperor and the Void Devouring Flame were defeated with just one blow is truly terrifying.

Even with Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun added, the odds would likely be even, and it would be difficult to take down the Emperor-grade Vital Pill!

"You're still a bit short of the skill to refine me," the Emperor-grade Nascent Soul cultivator said indifferently, glancing at the Soul Emperor and the Void Devouring Flame.

"Heh heh, aren't you celebrating far too soon? Soul Emperor, give me the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade!"

Upon hearing this, the Soul Emperor was also taken aback. He hesitated for a moment, then decisively took out the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade and tossed it to the Void Devouring Flame.

Grabbing the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, Void Devouring Flame smiled sinisterly at the Emperor-grade embryonic core. Suddenly, he bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of black blood tinged with black flames, which shot onto the ancient jade. At the same time, his hands suddenly transformed into a series of extremely strange hand seals.

As the Void Devouring Flame moved, the enormous stone statue of Emperor Tuoshe Ancient Emperor also formed hand seals, striking the same pose as the Void Devouring Flame!

As the Void Devouring Flame Hand Seal rapidly changed, the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in front of it suddenly began to tremble with a buzzing sound. Immediately afterwards, a soft light appeared, and the ancient jade actually formed a halo with brilliant colors as it vibrated!

The aperture displays multiple colors, and on it, it appears as if flames are dancing, creating an extremely mysterious effect.

"The Core Transformation Ring! How could you possibly possess the Core Transformation Divine Technique of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe?!"

The originally cold-faced Emperor-grade Nascent Soul cultivator immediately lost his composure upon seeing the halo, even his voice becoming harsh and shrill.

Void Devouring Flame sneered but offered no explanation. With a flick of his hand, the dazzling halo shot out.

In a short moment, it appeared above the head of the Emperor-grade nascent core, and circles of dazzling fire emerged, completely enveloping the Emperor-grade nascent core's body.

"what!"

As these fiery rings continuously enveloped the Emperor-grade embryonic core, wisps of white smoke suddenly escaped from its body, and a shrill scream echoed throughout the world.

Seeing the Void Devouring Flame continuously increasing its Core Transformation Rings, Xiao Li felt the time was right. He sent a telepathic message to Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun, instructing them to hold off the Soul Emperor. Afterward, Xiao Li discussed the matter with Zi Yan.

Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun exchanged a glance and then attacked Hun Tiandi together. Hun Tiandi was also prepared and took out several Grade 9 treasure pills to detonate them!

Unfortunately, the few Grade 9 Xuan Pills he had on him had already exploded. The explosion of these Grade 9 precious pills would not affect Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun!

"receive!"

With the help of the Pill Refining Ring, the Void Devouring Flame subdued the Emperor-grade embryonic pill. The Emperor-grade embryonic pill was powerless to resist and transformed into a dazzling ball of light the size of a human head, which floated in the Pill Refining Ring.

Whoosh—

Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from the air, and a purple-gold figure quickly arrived next to the Void Devouring Flame, kicking the approaching Soul Emperor away.

"Hmm!"

The speed was too fast. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Li appeared next to the Void Devouring Flame, lifting the Void Devouring Flame with one hand and supporting the Emperor-grade embryonic core with the other.

"Thank you so much, Void Devouring Flame, for helping me subdue the nascent Emperor-grade pill!"

Xiao Li smiled. Originally, Soul Emperor had been repelled by Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun. Despite being seriously injured, Soul Emperor was preparing to quickly reach the side of Void Devouring Flame with their help. However, he was intercepted by Xiao Li and kicked away.

The Soul Emperor had just emerged from the crater, his expression a mixture of emotions, as the Emperor-grade embryonic pill had fallen into Xiao Li's hands!

Xiao Li ignored them and looked at the Emperor-grade embryonic pill. He then bit his tongue and spat out a wisp of blood. He then silently recited an incantation, and a strange pattern appeared, imprisoning the Emperor-grade embryonic pill.

"What is that?!"

The crowd didn't understand Xiao Li's actions, but they felt they were similar to what Void Devouring Flame had just done!

As the strange patterns enveloped the Emperor-grade embryonic core, it shrank from the size of a human head to a ball of light the size of a longan.

It was the Medicine Emperor's Divine Elixir Transformation Technique. As for the Medicine Emperor's knowledge of alchemy, it was no less than that of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe, and might even be superior to it!

Xiao Li glanced at the gloomy-faced Soul Emperor and smiled slightly: "Soul Emperor, thank you for your grand plan spanning a millennium. I will gladly accept this!"

Xiao Li swallowed the Emperor-grade embryonic pill directly, and then a golden pill and three emerald green pills appeared in his storage ring!

"One Grade Nine Golden Core! Three Grade Nine Profound Cores! Is this what a Yin-Yang Saint is like?"

"The Yin-Yang Saint is indeed a Grandmaster of the Ninth-Rank Golden Core!"

After consuming the Emperor-grade embryonic pill, Xiao Li then consumed one ninth-grade golden pill and three ninth-grade profound pills!

These four pills were refined by Xiao Li before the great battle. They were pill formulas collected by the Medicine Clan. The Medicine Emperor's inheritance records that when taking Emperor-grade pills, those ninth-grade pills are needed as an aid!

After collecting the medicinal herbs, Xiao Li refined pills in the Gate of Life and Death. Taking advantage of the different time flow environment in the Gate of Life and Death, he successfully refined these pills!

"No!" The Soul Emperor became furious as soon as he saw Xiao Li swallow the Emperor-grade embryonic pill. He took out a blood-red, glass-like blade and slashed at Xiao Li.

"Oh no! It's the Emperor-Slaying Demon Blood Blade!"

Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun attacked together, launching their most powerful attack directly at Hun Tiandi.

However, the Soul Emperor did not dodge. Instead, he spat out his essence blood at the Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade. In just one breath, the Soul Emperor's figure turned into a withered old man!

Boom boom—

Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun's attacks pierced through the Soul Emperor's body, but the Soul Emperor endured the excruciating pain and attacked Xiao Li.

At this moment, Xiao Li was feeling the energy of the Emperor-grade embryonic pill, and his body was radiating a brilliant light. When the Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade approached, Xiao Li did not dodge, or rather, he had no way to dodge!

As Zi Yan stood in front of Xiao Li, she directly summoned the Dragon Emperor Seal, which clashed with the Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade!

Zi Yan and Hun Tiandi were both thrown back by the shock. Cracks appeared on the Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade in Hun Tiandi's hand, and a corner of the Dragon Emperor Seal in Zi Yan's hand shattered.

"Damn it! Belongs to the Soul Clan! Use blood to sacrifice to the blade!" The Soul Emperor had no choice but to unite the power of the Soul Clan to kill Xiao Li and extract the Emperor-grade embryonic core again!

The members of the Soul Clan exchanged glances. They knew that if their clan leader failed, they would all perish as well. So they all gathered around the Soul Emperor, bleeding themselves to replenish the Blood Blade of the Emperor-Slaying Demon!
