Chapter 1073: Chapter 173: Million Pharmacists
Yang Xiaotian and his companions left the abyss, transforming into streaks of light, and vanished into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Just after Yang Xiaotian and his group had departed, Lei Wantian’s subordinate, the Great Sorrow Sword God, led a group of experts to the abyss.
At this time, the Thunder Qi from the abyss had not yet dissipated, continuously steaming up into the sky like clusters of thunderclouds, emitting an alarming aura that set hearts racing.
Everyone who witnessed the steaming Thunder Qi from the abyss was astonished.
"What kind of Tribulation Thunder is this, the Thunder Qi is actually dark green?!" The Yin Yang elders looked at the Thunder Qi before them and exclaimed in shock.
The Great Sorrow Sword God, seeing the steaming dark green Tribulation Thunder Qi, was also full of doubts; he had never seen anyone’s Tribulation Thunder Qi be dark green.
"The Tribulation Thunder this person is facing, is likely an unprecedented kind!" the Great Sorrow Sword God said with a grave expression.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such dark green Thunder Qi.
Upon hearing this, everyone was filled with surprise and suspicion.
The Great Sorrow Sword God descended into the depths of the abyss.
The deeper he flew into the abyss, the more intense and astonishing the Thunder Qi became.
After reaching the bottom of the abyss, the Great Sorrow Sword God, facing the extremely dense Thunder Qi, grew even more solemn: "It seems the Chaos Domain is about to witness the rise of an extraordinary individual."
"The Thunder Qi still hasn’t dissipated; the other party should not have gotten far." Then he shot up into the sky.
"Chase!"
After speaking, he concealed his presence and led his people in the direction Yang Xiaotian and his friends had left.
However, as the Great Sorrow Sword God and his group pursued, they found themselves before the gates of Chaos City.
The Great Sorrow Sword God was taken aback.
Clearly, the other party had entered Chaos City.
But just as the Great Sorrow Sword God and his people had entered Chaos City, the trail they had been following was lost.
Meanwhile, Meng Bingxue and Yang Xiaotian along with their companions had already returned to their manor.
Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged inside the palace of the manor, consuming a Seven Tribulations Heavenly Grade healing elixir that he had concocted himself to begin healing his wounds, with just over ten days left before the great Pharmacist competition. He needed to heal his injuries before the competition and stabilize his Divine Emperor Realm.
Having broken through to the Divine Emperor Realm, he was now able to cultivate Divine Skills.
He could also integrate the Ancestral Dragon Body of the Bright Dragon Clan, but all of that would have to wait until after the Pharmacist competition.
As Yang Xiaotian consumed the elixir and worked hard to recover and solidify his Divine Emperor Realm, the Invincible Sect’s powerhouses also arrived in Chaos City and were discussing Yang Xiaotian and the Pharmacist competition inside a manor in the city.
At the top of the grand hall, a slightly portly elder sat alongside Invincible Zhantian in the main seats.
On both sides were the strong experts of the Invincible Sect.
The slightly fat elder was none other than the Chaos Medicine God, and also the number one Medicine God of the Chaos Domain.
Divine Protector Young Master was seated not far below the Chaos Medicine God, attentively listening to the conversation between Invincible Zhantian and the Chaos Medicine God.
"We need to make some preparations for this Pharmacist competition," the Chaos Medicine God mused.
Divine Protector Young Master stood up and said respectfully, "Master, rest assured, when it comes to alchemy, whether it’s Wan Jiansheng or Yang Xiaotian, I have the confidence to defeat them completely."
The Chaos Medicine God smiled and said, "Master certainly believes you have that strength."
Invincible Zhantian confidently smiled at the Chaos Medicine God and said, "Brother Qi, be at ease. Among the pharmacists from all lands participating in the Pharmacist competition, there are 300,000 who will obey the Invincible Sect. Once the first round begins and we enter Medicine Island in search of herbs, any of those 300,000 could just sneeze and they’d blow Yang Xiaotian away!"
Of these three hundred thousand pharmacists, almost all who had seized the first place in the pharmacists’ competitions across the continents were in the late stages of the Divine Emperor with Ten Layers and in the peak of the Divine Empress with Ten Layers. Jointly, they would spell certain death for Yang Xiaotian, no matter how strong he was!
"Once we enter Medicine Island, people from Chaos City, the Blood Dragon Clan, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, and Shennong Hall are certain to make a move as well. Therefore, we must act before Lei Wantian and the others, to kill Yang Xiaotian," the Chaos Medicine God nodded and said.
For everyone present, killing Yang Xiaotian was no longer just a matter of personal vendetta.
"Now, almost all of the top ten Supreme Sects of the Chaos Domain want to kill Yang Xiaotian. I wonder if Yang Xiaotian should feel honored or terrified," Zhang Yichao, an Ancient Ancestor from the Invincible Sect, sneered coldly.
"With millions of pharmacists entering Medicine Island, about a million want to kill Yang Xiaotian. When Yang Xiaotian steps onto Medicine Island for the first round and sees so many pharmacists wanting to kill him, he’s probably going to wet himself," another Ancient Ancestor from the Invincible Sect, Li Hui, said coldly.
The killing intent was hardly concealed on their faces.
The battle at Severing Heaven Peak saw only the two of them and Invincible Zhantian escape back to the Chaos Domain.
In the eyes of Invincible Zhantian and others, not even a hundred deaths would suffice to extinguish the hatred in their hearts towards Yang Xiaotian.
As the date of the pharmacist competition drew closer, more and more powerful beings flooded into Chaos City.
The entire Chaos City was overrun with people.
But amidst this bustle, many could sense an unusual atmosphere.
The day before the pharmacist competition, Yang Xiaotian’s injuries had finally fully healed, and he had completely stabilized his strength at the Divine Emperor Realm.
Upon emerging from seclusion, Godslayer King and Red-Haired Old Demon promptly reported to Yang Xiaotian the recent happenings in Chaos City.
"Young Master, the pharmacist competition is divided into two rounds. The first round requires entering Medicine Island to search for medicinal herbs. When you go to Medicine Island, people from Chaos City, the Invincible Sect, Qiankun Sword Sect, Blood Dragon Clan, Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, and even Shennong Hall will probably be quite hostile towards you," Godslayer King couldn’t help but express his concern.
Yang Xiaotian’s combat prowess was terrifying, but this time he would face about a million pharmacists in the late stages of Divine Emperor with Ten Layers and at the peak!
A hundred pharmacists in the late stages of Divine Empress with Ten Layers or at the peak were not scary, but a million was beyond terrifying.
"How many pharmacists from Chaos City, the Invincible Sect, Qiankun Sword Sect, Blood Dragon Clan, and Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple are we talking about?" asked Yang Xiaotian.
Godslayer King pondered before replying, "I’m not certain of the exact number; it should be around one million."
Ten million pharmacists were participating in the competition, but nearly a million of them were under the command of the Sects like Chaos City, the Invincible Sect, and Qiankun Sword Sect, which showed the immense influence of these great powers in the Chaos Domain.
"One million?" A cold glint flashed in Yang Xiaotian’s eyes.
If that was the case, then he would slaughter a million when the time came!
It had been some years since he last had the chance to fight with full force to his heart’s content.
"Also, there are rumors that the Divine Protector Young Master has concocted an Emperor Extreme Pill of the Sixth Tribulation Heavenly Grade with seven divine shadows. I’m not sure if the news is true or not," the Red-Haired Old Demon mentioned.
An Emperor Extreme Pill of the Sixth Tribulation Heavenly Grade with seven divine shadows?
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian remained calm in expression.
The night passed without incident.
The next day, as the sun rose, Chaos City began to boil with excitement.
In the midst of Chaos City’s uproar, Yang Xiaotian left his mansion and headed towards the Chaos City square, accompanied by Meng Bingxue and several others.
Along the way, powerful figures who saw Yang Xiaotian all kept their distance, regarding him and his group with peculiar gazes.
When Yang Xiaotian arrived at the square, the Divine Protector Young Master and the experts from the Invincible Sect were also approaching the square from another direction, but Invincible Zhantian was nowhere in sight.
The experts from the Invincible Sect could not hide the murderous intent in their eyes upon seeing Yang Xiaotian.
"Is that Yang Xiaotian?" Wan Jiansheng in the crowd did not look at the Divine Protector Young Master, but rather fixed his gaze on Yang Xiaotian.
