Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 681 Utter Humiliation (3k8, please continue reading)

'Buddha's Wrathful Reincarnation'

As a result of Xiao Yan's comprehension of the power of reincarnation, he activated it for the first time, but did not use it to fight enemies. Instead, he used it to refine pills.

As a symbol of a Dou Zun, a domain often possesses terrifying power that is difficult for other cultivators to match.

It seems that the Venerable Qinghai was able to seal the heavens and earth and absorb the energy of heaven and earth for his own use through his own cultivation.

Although Xiao Yan did not truly advance to the Dou Zun level, the power of reincarnation was enough for him to easily cross this gap, thus condensing a domain that was in no way inferior to a true Dou Zun.

Even above them!

Xiao Yan, being within the domain, naturally had no fear of Elder Mu Gu plundering the energy of heaven and earth, because he himself was the world within the domain!

Is that... the sun?

As people gazed at the strange fire wheel burning in the sky, a hint of numbness flashed across their faces.

Black, gold, white, blue, cyan, and colorless—each color is enough to make all the surrounding alchemical fires bow down in submission, and each carries unimaginable terrifying power.

In other words, these flames are actually strange flames!

"Just how many kinds of strange fire does this kid have?"

Below the stands, not only the elders of the Medicine Clan, but even the usually composed Elder Lin couldn't help but tremble with emotion, remaining silent for a long time.

In terms of sheer quantity, the strange flames that Xiao Yan possesses are far beyond what even his ancient clan can compare to!
How could such depth and capability possibly be provided by a fallen Xiao clan?

This young man likely has a terrifyingly powerful backer behind him.
However, just as Elder Lin was deep in thought, the girl in green beside him shook her head and whispered, "You're wrong."

Elder Lin turned around in astonishment.

But Xun'er looked intently at the young man in the sky and said, word by word, "Brother Xiao Yan is where he is today because he earned it step by step."

"The ancient clans may appear powerful, but they are actually corrupt inside. Although the Xiao family is in decline, as long as he is there, the Xiao family will one day stand at the top of the continent again."

Xun'er glanced sideways at the girl in the corner of the stone platform, then looked away and sighed softly, "Although I am very unwilling, if I were to say that he has received any help, perhaps only that woman could help him."

Upon hearing the word 'decay,' Elder Lin's body trembled violently, a rare hint of fear appearing in his voice: "Miss."

"no need to worry."

Xun'er interrupted him, lowering her eyes slightly: "Before I have enough strength, I won't go against them so early."

".yes."

In the arena, looking at the sun that was faintly suppressing the wolf soul, Elder Mu Gu's face flashed with a trace of fear, which then turned into a sinister look after a moment: "You can summon a domain before you've even advanced to the Dou Zun level, kid, you're quite capable!"

It must be said that Xiao Yan's previous actions did indeed make Mu Gu feel a little uneasy.

Whether they became disciples together in their youth or ventured into the Central Plains after becoming famous, Elder Mu Gu never surpassed his senior brother even once. In fact, the only reason others remembered him was because of the title "Junior Brother of the Medicine Venerable"!

He hated it, but he was even more afraid.

On one hand, he hated the other's aloof and ethereal image, which was admired by countless people; on the other hand, he was terrified of his elder brother, who surpassed him in everything.

This emotion is like a venomous snake lurking in one's heart; every time it is recalled, it tears off one's face, revealing the bloody scars beneath.

He wanted to trample everything about the other party into dust, only in this way could he completely wash away his shame!

"If I'm not mistaken, the pill you want to refine should be the 'Primordial Pill' for shaping the body and cultivating vital energy, right?"

The more jealous and resentful Mu Gu became, the harder it was for him to control his emotions. Now that his limelight had been stolen, he finally couldn't hold back any longer and whispered in a sinister tone:
"This pill is extremely difficult to refine, and the finished product is far less precious than the 'Soul Devouring and Bone-Eating Pill.' Even if you manage to refine it, you will certainly not be able to surpass me!"

Xiao Yan ignored him, flicked his finger, and a strange fire was thrown into the Black Demon, causing the two cauldrons to burn together.

In an instant, the Black Demon and the other medicine cauldron burst forth with dazzling light, causing the temperature in the originally rather cold square to rise sharply!
As Mu Gu said, the pill Xiao Yan refined was indeed the 'One Beginning Pill'.

As the finest of the eighth-grade pills, the One Beginning Pill not only greatly enhances a cultivator's physical body, but also elevates their very essence to a certain extent.

Xiao Yan's purpose in refining it stemmed from that original intention.

Once upon a time, Xiao Yan, who had just begun to become an alchemist, tried to refine medicine for the first time, not under the supervision of Yao Lao, but under the supervision of that mysterious and unpredictable girl.

At that time, he called her "Teacher Ruoruo".

Although it was just a joke, the girl took it to heart. She not only found him a rare and extraordinary fire, but also almost exhausted her cultivation for it, so that he could see the fragile heart beneath her mysterious exterior in a fleeting glance.

It wasn't until that time that Xiao Yan realized that she was actually just like any other girl, and cared about her appearance.

She loved beauty but was also afraid of being seen as an oddity, so she disguised her pale skin and showed people a smile.

She claimed to be a bad person, but she could never shake off a single bit of kindness in her heart. So she called herself a benefactor and saved herself from danger countless times.

Even now, although the girl's skin color has long since returned to normal after that accident, it still holds great significance as one of Xiao Yan's initial goals.

And this 'One Beginning Pill' was the goal that Xiao Yan set at that time.

Thunder rumbled within the medicine cauldron as medicinal herbs filed in, instantly being refined into medicinal liquid and integrated into the furnace.

At this moment, everyone, including the elders of the Medicine Clan, was dumbfounded and could hardly believe their eyes.

Even Yao Xingji, who was in despair, couldn't help but gape, as if he had lost his parents.
Even Xun'er, who never concocted medicine, was now perfectly aware of just how exaggerated Xiao Yan's techniques were!

Not only did he control the two cauldrons with his own attention, but he also supported a domain that was a thousand feet long. His mastery of battle qi and soul had reached an unparalleled level, and even his physical strength was unfathomable!
It should be noted that this is a Dou Zun-level domain. To maintain the concoction of medicine while simultaneously controlling the domain, even an ordinary three-star Dou Zun would have no chance of withstanding this level of consumption.

"Among the Medicine Clan, are there truly any geniuses who can rival Brother Xiao Yan?"

Xun'er stared blankly at the sky. Although Yao Xingji wasn't the strongest alchemist among the younger generation of the Yao clan, given Xiao Yan's current performance, even the strongest among them would likely pale in comparison.
Thunder roared in the sky, and summoned by the thunder, the girl who was hiding in a corner where no one knew her suddenly raised her head, letting the wind blow against her cheeks.

"it's time."

Hun Ruoruo reluctantly withdrew her gaze. Her interest in alchemy was almost entirely based on this scene from her memory. Now that she could see it in person, it was naturally difficult for her to take her eyes off the other person.

The boy she once longed for has now become her lover.

In the past, this would have been an absurd scene that Hun Ruoruo couldn't even have imagined in her wildest dreams. But now...
"What a cruel twist of fate."

Gazing at Xiao Yan, who held the cauldron and wielded the fire like a young god, Hun Ruoxue's legs tensed, and a barely perceptible blush rose to her pretty face: "But, is this... a public confession?"

With her keen eyesight, it was impossible for her not to see who Xiao Yan was refining pills for.

"Impossible, impossible"

On the stone platform, Elder Mu Gu stared intently at the churning thunderclouds, and couldn't help but roar fiercely, "You little bastard, how could you possibly have crafted this!"

It should be noted that Elder Mu Gu was able to refine pills for the Five-Colored Thunder Tribulation almost entirely because of his ability to 'steal pills'!

If Yao Xingji hadn't refined the four-colored lightning tribulation pill, even if he risked his life, he would never have been able to refine the five-colored lightning tribulation pill.

Now, Xiao Yan has summoned the Five-Colored Lightning Tribulation on his own!

Doesn't this mean that Mu Gu is inferior to even Yao Chen's disciple?
His expression changed, and a hint of madness flashed in the old man's eyes. He roared, "Even if you can refine it, as a Five-Colored Lightning Tribulation pill, my pill is far more precious than your Primordial Pill. This year's Pill Competition champion is destined to be mine!"

"is it?"

Xiao Yan opened his eyes, and a faint hint of mockery flickered in his unusually bright eyes.

Although the method of 'stealing the core' is not prohibited by the Pill Tower, it ultimately cannot fully represent an individual's strength.

Now that the two have simultaneously refined the Five-Colored Thundercloud Pill, everyone already knows who will win and who will lose.

“little bastard”

Looking at Xiao Yan's mocking gaze, Mu Gu felt a surge of fear, a mixture of shame and hatred. Years of humiliation and hardship endured in the Soul Palace welled up within him, and he flew into a rage.

"Victory is victory! Today I have not only trampled you under my feet, but I have also far surpassed Yao Chen from back then. From now on, no one can say that I am inferior to him!!"

"Back then, our teacher treated you like brothers and Han Feng like his own son, but the two of you conspired together to harm him. In the end, one of you became a lackey of the Soul Hall, and the other ran off to the Northwest Region to become a local tyrant."

Xiao Yan smiled and said calmly, "You don't really think that you got your status and position back then all by your own efforts, do you?"

“Enough, enough!!”

Mu Gu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

After the death of the old medicine master, he was almost constantly refining medicine for the Soul Palace and was treated like a dog. How could he not know this?

The same old wound was reopened; the words he had previously used to incite the Yao Clan to mock, insult, and humiliate Yao Lao were returned to him verbatim by Xiao Yan.

Although it was the same method, for Mu Gu, this was humiliation that far surpassed that of Yao Lao by ten or even a hundred times!

"Our teacher has never received any benefits from the Medicine Clan, so he doesn't care that his identity as an alchemist is criticized by the Medicine Clan. But you are different, Mu Gu."

Xiao Yan's eyes were icy cold, and every word he uttered was like a sharp blade piercing the heart: "Without your teacher, you are nothing, just like Han Feng."

The old doctor's expression was complicated, and he sighed softly.

He knew that what was more terrifying than murder was the kind of hurtful words that attacked one's conscience.

The old man Mu Gu, at this moment, was like a mad beast, his chest heaving violently, his eyes filled with chaotic light.

"what!!!"

He almost visibly collapsed.

His pride, his scheming, his alchemy skills—all of them were trampled underfoot by Xiao Yan, reduced to dust.

"I haven't lost yet!"

"Ah."

Xiao Yan sneered, gazing at the hourglass that was about to run out of sand, and said calmly, "Since that's the case, then I'll let you lose clearly."

As Xiao Yan finished speaking, the clouds that were originally churning with five-colored thunder seemed to be summoned by something and suddenly trembled violently, with muffled thunder rolling in, as if the heavens were roaring.

"That is."

Xuan Kongzi on the high platform was filled with astonishment. After a moment, a gentle look flashed in Xuan Yi's beautiful eyes, and she said softly, "It's his Spirit Ascension Technique."

"Xiao Yan's arduous training in Dan City, his countless failures and setbacks, were all for this moment. He wanted to use the skills Yao Chen had taught him to defeat his opponent honorably."

"He wants to use the secret techniques created by Yao Chen himself to prove to the world that even without the Yao Clan, his master can still be remembered by the world."

The thunderclouds in the sky seemed to be drawn by something, and began to churn violently. Then, the originally dark, tide-like clouds gradually became extremely beautiful in full view of everyone.

And at this moment, the five-colored lightning hidden within revealed a strange crimson color!
Six-Colored Thunderclap!

Xiao Yan strode towards the sky, as if chasing stars and the moon, trampling countless bolts of lightning under his feet. The pale golden patterns that were already densely covered on his body radiated a golden brilliance and divine light.

"Physical body. Achieving enlightenment."

A hint of tenderness flashed in Hun Ruoruo's eyes. No longer lingering, she turned and grasped the elixir embryo in the cauldron: "It seems it's my turn too."

She knew that things had come to this point, and there was no point in looking anymore.

Because the victory is already secured!

"Xiao Yan!!!"

The old man Mugu stared at the six-colored thunderclouds in the sky with a livid face and his eyes wide open in fury.

"I told you long ago, you're not qualified to have a teacher intervene."

Xiao Yan took a step forward and grasped the white jade pill, which resembled a bright moon, in his hand. Endless lightning power accompanied him, yet it was impossible to harm it in the slightest.

"You lost."
