Chapter 1138: Peak Pill Confrontation

Chapter 1138: Peak Pill Battle

The pill is about to emerge!

As Ruo Tian Zhu Que pondered, Mu Xuan Gong spoke lightly.

Hearing this, Ruo Tian Zhu Que put away her thoughts and looked up at the pill battle platform.

On the Dou Dan platform, Yue Shan's pill furnace was humming and radiating divine light, with faint pill omens appearing.

Yue Shan truly lived up to his reputation as the chief disciple of Ku Yue. His alchemy skills surpassed those of Yue Zhen and Yue Jin. Indeed, in this three-on-three pill battle, he was clearly the first to refine a pill.

Buzz!

With a buzzing sound, a pill rainbow shot out from Yue Shan's furnace, weaving into a magnificent omen.

It was a six-pattern Hao Miao Dan!

A wave of exclamations rose from below, as if everyone recognized the pill's rank. It was a high-level one among six-pattern pills.

Amid the exclamations, Yue Shan grabbed the Hao Miao Dan and put it into his sleeve. He couldn't resist casting a cold, mocking glance at the Dan Fu alchemists.

The Dan Fu alchemists frowned. Although they were also sixth-tier alchemists, they were still outmatched by Yue Shan. His alchemy level had already approached seventh tier, far beyond their reach.

The pill emerges!

Soon after, Yue Hai also produced his pill. It was a six-pattern one, not of low rank.

Like Yue Shan, he wore a cold smile, his eyes flashing with fierce malice.

The pill emerges!

Among the Dan Fu alchemists, the young man in purple robes produced his pill. A purple pill rainbow shot into the sky, causing Yue Shan and Yue Hai to furrow their brows slightly, as if they could tell the rank of that six-pattern pill.

Xuan Yang Dan?

Another wave of astonishment swept through the crowd below, for the pill refined by the young man in purple was on par with Yue Hai's.

The pill emerges!

Amid the astonishment, another Dan Fu alchemist produced his pill, the rainbow dazzling.

The pill emerges! The pill emerges!

The next two exclamations came almost simultaneously. Yue Zong and the third Dan Fu alchemist produced their pills together. Pill rainbows soared into the sky, their omens intertwining and painting the void with vibrant colors.

All were six-pattern!

The onlookers stared in shock at the Dou Dan platform, their expressions changing.

How is this possible!

Even Ku Yue's face darkened.

In the previous pill battles, as a seventh-tier alchemist, he had seen clearly how the Dan Fu alchemists handled their techniques and controlled their flames, far exceeding his expectations. Combined with beast fire and earth fire advancing to true fire, these low-tier alchemists had risen to high tiers—a development that was eerily shocking.

What shocked Ku Yue the most wasn't just this, but how, in such a short time, Dan Fu had trained a group of mediocre alchemists to match his own disciples. What kind of methods were these?

In that moment, Ku Yue truly felt a threat. Dan Fu's strength had already surpassed Ling Dan Ge.

The once lively Ling Dan Shan fell silent at some point.

Many in the crowd had deep, meaningful glints in their eyes. Dan Fu's power and tactics were truly alarming. Just picking any of them at random revealed six-pattern alchemists, putting their overall strength above Ling Dan Ge.

"Both of you, do you wish to continue the pill battle?"

The silence was broken by Ruo Tian Zhu Que's words.

"Pill battle isn't necessary; let's just eat first."

"Fight." Before Ye Chen could finish, Ku Yue interrupted with a single word and stepped onto the Dou Dan platform.

At this sight, everyone sat up straight. The only seventh-tier alchemist in You Du was about to compete personally!

All eyes turned to Ye Chen. The mysterious lord of Dan Fu had trained so many sixth-tier alchemists in less than a month; his alchemy skills must be at their peak. The true pill battle—the real peak showdown—was between him and Ku Yue.

Under everyone's gaze, Ye Chen cleared his throat.

"I think we should eat first."

"If you admit defeat, the entire Dan Fu will become slaves." Ku Yue said coldly, a smirk on his lips. He needed to defeat Ye Chen publicly to solidify his position.

"Alright, we'll fight and then eat." Ye Chen stretched his body and stepped onto the Dou Dan platform.

"I will make you lose convincingly." Ku Yue's words were ethereal, carrying an undeniable authority.

"You're quite confident!" Ye Chen chuckled lightly, then flipped his hand to produce a pill furnace, followed by his golden immortal fire.

"Golden true fire." As soon as Ye Chen summoned his immortal fire, exclamations erupted from below, wave after wave like crashing tides.

"Golden true fire—he's Ye Chen?" Someone revealed his identity.

"He's still alive after being hunted by a quasi-saint?"

"That's unbelievable!" Everyone was shocked, never expecting Ye Chen to be alive or that the mysterious lord of Dan Fu was him. The news hit like a thunderbolt.

"He's tricked us all." The eight princes, Yue Shan, and others flashed with cold glints in their eyes.

"Good, very good." Amid the shock, Ku Yue laughed, his eyes burning with excitement. Ye Chen was alive and was the lord of Dan Fu. Though shocked, he was thrilled, for now he had a chance to seize Ye Chen's true fire and bloodline.

"Can we begin?" Under the watchful eyes of all, Ye Chen removed his black robe, revealing his true face.

"Ye Chen, how about we add some stakes to this?" Ku Yue looked at him with interest.

"Oh?" Ye Chen smiled playfully.

"If I win, hand over your true fire and bloodline." Ku Yue said, his eyes gleaming with raw greed. Compared to other things, the holy body bloodline and true fire were priceless treasures.

"And if you lose?" Ye Chen now looked at Ku Yue with interest.

"If I lose, Ling Dan Ge is yours."

"Ha, Ku Yue, you're quite the schemer." Ye Chen sneered. "I lose my life, but you only lose Ling Dan Ge. Isn't that bet unfair?"

"Then what do you suggest?" Ku Yue smiled faintly.

"Ling Dan Ge, plus your life."

"Deal."

"Hiss!" Their words made everyone draw in a sharp breath.

"Has Ye Chen gone mad? Ku Yue is a seventh-tier alchemist."

"They're even betting their lives—two lunatics."

"This battle will end with someone dead, no matter who wins or loses."

"Your existence is the greatest gift for today." Amid the shock, Ku Yue gave Ye Chen a sinister smile, then suddenly raised his hand, producing a golden pill furnace and nearly two thousand types of alchemy materials. It was clear he intended to refine a seven-pattern pill.

"It might be your funeral." Ye Chen retorted coldly, waving his hand to bring out various rare materials.

"Zhu Que, who do you think will win?" Watching Ye Chen and Ku Yue on the platform, Mu Xuan Gong stroked his beard.

"Both are seventh-tier; the outcome is uncertain." Ruo Tian Zhu Que replied with a light smile. "But I favor Ye Chen more."

"On that, we agree." Mu Xuan Gong smiled warmly, looking at Ye Chen on the platform with admiration and surprise. "He's a natural myth-maker, seemingly capable of anything."

"Be prepared; regardless of whether Ye Chen wins or loses, we must send Ku Yue to his end today."

"Always ready."
