The most shameless alchemist in history

Before the appearance of the shadow, the high-ranking demons were always invincible and looked down on the world.

However, after the appearance of the shadowy figure, it finally took it seriously and dared not ignore this power from the Abyss!

In the instant the two collided, the area around the enormous sealing gate turned completely dark.

Even though this place was a scorching world of lava not long ago, and lava was overflowing everywhere, it has all disappeared now.

No, they haven't disappeared. The crimson magma still exists, and those destructive and terrifying infernal creatures still exist.

But in an instant, all their colors were taken away, leaving only suffocating darkness in the world!

"What...what happened? Why did it turn out like this?" Hilbert had never expected to see this scene unfold before his eyes.

He had originally thought that both of these forces came from purgatory, but now it seems that this is not the case!

Not only was he dumbfounded, but Lei Ming and Zi Yan also quickly retreated to the side.

With their remaining strength, they desperately protected Wellington and Hilbert, knowing that this force was far too terrifying.

Moreover, it is in a state of indiscriminate attack on all sides. If even a tiny bit of it gets on you, you will probably be reduced to ashes!

"How can it be so powerful? This power... did that guy release it? But that's not right, he shouldn't have this kind of magic power on him. It's as if, in an instant, a magical power from another world surged out and attached itself to him!" Zi Yan was shocked by this.

“Although I’m not entirely sure what’s going on, if it’s this power, it might be able to force the higher-level demons out. Let’s protect them first, otherwise things could get very bad!” Lei Ming said calmly.

"Understood!" Zi Yan had to be on high alert, concentrating intently and not daring to slack off in the slightest.

At the same time, Du Lei and Lao Hei were launching a powerful attack on the high-ranking demon.

Du Lei, the person involved, was also extremely surprised, not expecting that the power of the Void Abyss would be so vast!

With the power of the Abyss amplified, he delivered a powerful punch to the abdomen of the high-ranking demon.

Although the high-ranking demon has no physical form, his punch didn't seem to pose any threat.

Moreover, there is a huge difference in their body sizes.

However, behind Dure was a huge black phantom. This phantom was extremely large, comparable to the body of a high-ranking demon. The phantom had no fixed shape, but the outline of a demon god could be vaguely seen.

"Hehehehe, young man, it's been a very, very long time since I've appeared before people in this form. So... let's make a scene!" The huge black shadow's voice was extremely arrogant as Du Lei swung his fist.

Its giant fist slammed down on the body of the high-ranking demon!

It was like a clone of Dure, its ferocious form and unparalleled power were so breathtaking that it was suffocating!

"Is this your true form? It looks quite exaggerated." Du Lei was also somewhat surprised by this.

"Young man, do you think I'm just a small fry in the Void Abyss? This is only my first form. It's more than enough to deal with this guy in front of me. But young man, you have to be careful. With the power of the Void Abyss that I've accumulated, it can only last for three minutes. You must finish this quickly."

Although Old Black has revealed his true form, he needs Dure as a vessel to unleash his power.

"Three minutes? That's enough!" Dure had never felt so full of energy.

His speed increased dramatically, and in a very short time, he unleashed a barrage of attacks on the higher-ranking demons.

Normally, ordinary attacks cannot harm a high-ranking demon in the slightest. However, Dure's fierce attack was empowered by the power of the Void. Under the influence of the power of the Void, the fiery body of the high-ranking demon would be instantly annihilated if it was touched by the black Void!

Even the most intense flames in the world cannot keep burning in front of Xu Yuan!

One minute.

The high-ranking demon was forced back more than half a body length by the blow, but it still clung tightly to the door!

Two minutes.

The high-ranking demon had one arm broken, yet it still roared in resentment, its remaining hand still gripping the door!

Three minutes!

"Now's the time. Go back to where you belong!"

Dure knew this was the last moment he could maintain his physical connection with Old Black.

He slammed it down with all his might, breaking the last hand of the high-ranking demon!

"Rumble rumble rumble..."

The twelve giant warriors worked together to close the sealing gate, although countless infernal creatures remained at the gate.

However, apart from the high-ranking demon, other infernal creatures were no match for the Colossus.

The surface of the sealed gate began to glow with iridescent light, activating the sealing array, and slowly closed.

The infernal creature, still struggling to break free, was bathed in a burst of light by the sealing barrier, letting out desperate screams.

"boom!"

With a final, muffled thud, the sealing gate finally closed!

At the same time, Dure also fell from the sky, and the dark shadow supporting him disappeared without a trace.

The sealed hall, which had once resembled a day of destruction, gradually returned to calm.

The twelve giant warriors returned to their original positions, sat down with their swords in hand, and transformed back into immovable statues.

"Teacher, teacher, are you alright?" Yang, who had returned to the ground with Ferdinand, immediately went to check on Durey's condition.

"It's alright, I'll be fine after a rest." Du Lei waved his hand, indicating that he was alright.

“But teacher, you look terrible.” Yang Ge was still worried about his condition.

"You actually...you actually repelled a high-ranking demon? Kid, just who are you?"

After confirming that the area was safe, Zi Yan walked over and looked at Du Lei with surprise and doubt. This scene was too shocking.

"As you can see, I'm just an ordinary person who's exhausted," Du Lei said with a forced smile.

“You…” Zi Yan was not satisfied with his answer and wanted to get to the bottom of it.

“Alright, General Ziyan, this must be Mr. Dure. If it weren’t for Mr. Dure, our Flame Kingdom, and even the Thunder Kingdom, would probably have suffered a devastating disaster. Now that things have returned to peace, we should head back,” Ferdinand said solemnly.

"Yes, Your Highness." Zi Yan withdrew respectfully, obeying Ferdinand's orders.

"By the way, Ferdinand, what exactly is going on? Weren't you supposed to be dead? And where is Cahill?"

Hilbert belatedly realized what was happening and began asking about his sister's whereabouts, a question he was very concerned about.

“Let’s leave here first, and I’ll explain in detail on the way,” Ferdinand said.

“Alright.” Hilbert knew this wasn’t a place to linger, and the group hurriedly left the Sealed Hall…

On the way out, Ferdinand recounted the whole story in detail. It turned out that he and the princess of the Land of Thunder, Cahill, who was Hilbert's younger sister, fell in love at first sight. The two dated frequently in private and hoped to get married.

However, due to the strained relations between the two countries, their actions drew opposition from the King of the Land of Lightning.

Even Wellington of the Land of Flames was not entirely in favor of this marriage.

This put the two young people in a very difficult position, because they were not ordinary people; one was the crown prince and the other was a princess, both of noble status.

They were destined not to love and stay together like ordinary people.

This caused them great pain, especially Ferdinand, who constantly searched for a way to be with Cahill.

Just when he was at his wit's end, this solution came to him on its own initiative; to be precise, it was his own uncle who gave him the solution.

His uncle, Prince Wilfah, told him that the reason he and Cahill could not be together was because they were nobles.

So if he could die once and give up his noble status, he wouldn't have to bear that responsibility and could be with Cahill.

If you think about it carefully, you'll find that Vellfire's words are full of loopholes.

However, Ferdinand couldn't care less about anything else at that point; Vellfire's words were like a lifeline to him.

He followed Wilfar's instructions and staged a dramatic assassination attempt in the capital of the Land of Thunder.

After escaping, he believed he had truly shaken off his royal status and secretly married Cahill in a church.

However, during the wedding, the kind priest told them that someone was planning to assassinate them.

With the priest's help, they escaped the church and went into hiding.

Ferdinand originally thought he could live a wonderful and peaceful life with Cahill, and that they could be happy together.

But soon news of the outbreak of war arrived, which made Ferdinand realize that things were not so simple.

Although he longed to spend his life with Cahill, as the crown prince of the Flame Kingdom, he could not stand by and watch his soldiers bleed and die because of his momentary recklessness, and innocent civilians be displaced as a result.

And gradually he discovered that someone was searching for them, wanting to kill them.

His investigation revealed that it was all his uncle, Wilfrid, who was behind it all.

So after discussing it with Cahill, they decided not to stand idly by any longer, and he went to the Burning Canyon.

And so, the scene unfolded where he infiltrated the Wang family cemetery and happened to encounter Du Lei and his group...

"So that's the truth! What about Cahill? How is my sister now?"

Hilbert immediately pressed him for details about his sister's whereabouts. She was his only sister, and he had always doted on her since she was little.

“Cahill is in a very safe place now, so don’t worry,” Ferdinand reassured her.

"She better not get hurt, or I won't let you off the hook!" Hilbert said bitterly.

“But there’s still one problem that needs to be solved,” Lei Ming said after a moment’s hesitation.

"General Lei Ming, what's the problem?" After this incident, Hilbert had developed much more respect for Lei Ming.

He knew that if Lei Ming hadn't protected him so much, he wouldn't have been able to leave this place alive.

"That's about Prince Wilfair. As far as I know, Prince Wilfair wields considerable power, and many people are loyal to him. Now that such an incident has broken out, how should the Flame Kingdom handle it?" Lei Ming asked, frowning.

“Wilfar’s actions are a disgrace to our Guardian race. We will suppress him.”

Wellington was deeply saddened and heartbroken when he thought of what his younger brother had done.

"The problem isn't just in the Land of Flame. Someone in the Land of Lightning must have contacted Prince Wilhelm, which is why this military action was launched."

Gilbert, as a staff officer, quickly realized this.

"The one who fully supported the war and was also the first to receive the news was... Chancellor Xerxes!" Hilbert recalled this person.

“Xerxes? I’ve heard of him. I’ve heard that he’s been in close correspondence with my uncle.” Ferdinand said after a moment’s thought.

“Then it seems the problem lies with these two people, and there must be someone behind them directing them,” Yang suggested.

"Let's deal with these issues after we get out... Oh, right, that's..."

Just as they were about to leave the Wang family cemetery, Du Lei suddenly noticed something.
