NOVPUBWithin the vortex, Ba Yi, dressed in beast skin, was howling madly, trying to break free from the confines of the vortex. Within it, threads and strands of Spiritual Energy condensed into chains, binding him layer by layer and dragging him towards the deep abyss of the vortex.
Ba Yi’s muscles bulged, and his veins popped with exertion, his heartbeat thundering and muscles swelling, his skin reddening as if he were a Ferocious Beast. He repeatedly tore apart the chains that bound him, but more and more chains appeared, ensnaring him as if he were a trapped beast, struggling as he was slowly pulled towards the depths of the vortex.
A fang pendant Ba Yi wore around his neck fell off, got sucked into the deep vortex, and was immediately ground into flying ash.
"Damn it, hold on, little brother! I’ll pull you out!"
Ba Chen cursed under his breath and called out urgently.
"Don’t come over... you’ll be dragged in too!"
With veins bulging on his forehead and his body entangled in Spiritual Energy chains, Ba Yi roared with difficulty.
Ba Chen and Ba Yi had been exploring together, finding their way to the ’Ten Thousand Pill Hall’ where they reaped numerous benefits and discovered a colossal Pill Furnace that glimmered with spiritual brilliance, its exceptional quality evident at a glance.
The two naturally attempted to claim it, but in doing so, they fell into a trap left by the Heavenly Dragon Martial Saint. The void cracked open, creating a vortex that slaughtered everything and birthed numerous chains that dragged Ba Yi into its midst.
In fact, Ba Chen had already tried to pull Ba Yi out, but as he approached the void vortex, numerous chains emerged, twisting towards him. Fortunately, he retreated swiftly, or else he would probably have faced the same fate as Ba Yi.
"Damn it... Both my brother and I excel in close combat, but this Kill Array is quite mysterious and precisely counters us!"
Ba Chen was frantic, desperately thinking of a strategy.
Neither Ba Chen nor Ba Yi possessed Pseudo-Divine Skills; as children, they had eaten the flesh of a True Beast, which imbued them with exceptional talents, and they made rapid progress in cultivating their physical bodies. With their powerful physiques, they could fight against a Pseudo-Divine Skill Grandmaster!
But when faced with a situation that their formidable bodies couldn’t handle, they were powerless.
"Hm?"
Ba Chen felt a twitch in his ears and turned around, seeing two figures appearing at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Pill Hall. 𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝒐𝙢
"Dao Wufeng, Heavenly Corpse Old Man?"
Ba Chen immediately became alert, recognizing the newcomers as Dao Wufeng and the Heavenly Corpse Old Man.
"It seems they’ve run into trouble."
Attracted by the massive explosion, Su Changkong and the Heavenly Corpse Old Man arrived to see Ba Yi, within a huge, sunken vortex in the palace, wrapped in chains and being continuously dragged towards its depths.
Ba Chen, initially vigilant, then pleaded, "Gentlemen... please lend a hand and help my brother."
Unable to rescue Ba Yi from the void vortex, Ba Chen hoped that Su Changkong and the Heavenly Corpse Old Man would help.
"Brother Blade, let’s not meddle in other people’s affairs. One less person means less competition."
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man communicated telepathically to Su Changkong.
At the same time, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man’s eyes flickered. In his view, not only should they not save the person, but it would be even more correct to give a push and make things worse!
Indeed, most treasures within this Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky contain Divine Seeds, and when their location is discovered, intense competition will inevitably erupt, with everyone going mad for them.
Ba Yi, caught in a Formation left by the Heavenly Dragon Martial Saint, would mean one less competitor if he perished.
Su Changkong looked at the chains continuously dragging Ba Yi towards the depths of the vortex without moving. He wasn’t someone who kicked others when they were down without cause, but neither was he the kind of person to expend energy for strangers.
To save Ba Yi, he would likely need to use Mysterious Turtle True Essence. Su Changkong needed to ensure his strength and condition in case he faced a life-and-death crisis, as lacking that drop of Mysterious Turtle True Essence could be problematic!
Moreover, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man was right. The two from the Ferocious Wolf King Court were their competitors. Saving Ba Yi might earn gratitude, but Su Changkong didn’t believe that in a critical moment like the contest for a Divine Seed, the two would hold back for this reason.
Seeing the two unmoved, Ba Chen became anxious. Ba Yi, struggling in the depths of the void vortex, was being pulled deeper and deeper, and once he was dragged into the very bottom, his death would be imminent!
Ba Chen gritted his teeth and extracted an item from a fang bracelet used as a Storage Treasure. He said, "The most precious thing in this Ten Thousand Pill Hall is this ’Ten Thousand Pill Furnace.’ My brother and I encountered danger trying to take it. If you two could save my brother, I will offer up this ’Ten Thousand Pill Furnace’ with both hands!"
Su Changkong examined carefully, noting the Ten Thousand Pill Furnace appeared quite tiny, the size of a palm, emitting a faint spiritual light. Upon Ba Chen channeling a bit of Spiritual Energy into it, the furnace expanded rapidly to over a meter in diameter.
Its surface was carved with spiritual patterns, made of an unknown metal, exuding a sense of antiquity and grandeur as it shimmered with spiritual light.
"It can grow larger and smaller?" Su Changkong couldn’t help but brighten at the sight.
Typically, only a Martial Saint had the ability to manipulate the spatial dimension to create Storage Treasures, and since this Ten Thousand Pill Furnace could change size, it indicated that it was a highly advanced Pill Furnace belonging to the ’Heavenly Dragon Martial Saint’ himself!
The Heavenly Dragon Martial Saint was an all-around genius; any becoming a Martial Saint was among the dragons of men and, with longevity, had time to research other fields, excelling in forging, Alchemy, and more. The Heavenly Dragon Martial Saint had remarkable accomplishments in them all!
This ’Ten Thousand Pill Furnace’ was a Divine Artifact crafted by the Heavenly Dragon Martial Saint to complement his Divine Skills. It was leagues above the Star Patterned Gold Pill Furnace used by Su Changkong in terms of quality and level.
