Chapter 225 The Secret of the Pill Tower, Entering the Ancient Realm
A blinding golden energy orb, carrying the power to destroy the world, crashed down, instantly unleashing a violent surge of energy within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles!
The clouds churned like ink, the sun and moon lost their brilliance, and the entire sky was dyed a deathly gray hue, as if the end of the world had arrived!

"It's over!"

Fire Cloud Ancestor's face turned deathly pale.

"Buzz, buzz——"

Just then, a deep humming sound rang out from the palm of the Pill Tower Ancestor. He gently raised his small hand, and the ancient Pill Tower, about the size of a palm, suddenly floated in mid-air!
The dark yellow and black air currents swirled and surged out like living things, transforming into a thick light shield. In an incredibly gentle manner, it enveloped the golden attack that was powerful enough to tear the heavens and earth apart, dissolving it into nothingness!
"what is that?!"

In the crowd, the Sword Master stared intently at the small tower in mid-air, growing increasingly alarmed with each glance.

The shape and patterns of that pagoda bear a striking resemblance to the Dan Pagoda, which has stood in the Central Plains for a thousand years and which no one dares to disrespect!

"The Pill Tower actually has such profound secrets!"

Xiao Yan stared at the Xuanhuang Pagoda in the sky, and a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in his heart.

"The Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda?"

Gu Yuan's expression was indifferent: "This semi-imperial artifact from the ancient ruins caused a bloodbath as soon as it appeared."

Countless powerful individuals perished for it, but it ultimately fell into the hands of the founder of the Pill Tower.

If the founder of the Pill Tower had been willing to sacrifice this treasure when he was assassinated by the Soul Emperor, he wouldn't have met such a tragic end.

Beneath the seemingly peaceful landscape of the Central Plains lies the most terrifying active volcano on the Dou Qi Continent.

Once that volcano erupts, the lava will submerge half of the Central Plains, inevitably causing widespread devastation and the extinction of all life.

The founder of the Dan Tower was willing to die to leave behind this tower not only to leave a legacy for you unworthy descendants, but also to suppress that volcano.

Now, the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda has been suppressing the Flaming Mountains for a thousand years, and has already absorbed enough earth fire power, accumulating considerable strength.

Even a full-force attack from a nine-star Dou Sheng could probably withstand ten of those attacks.

Before he finished speaking, the golden light around Gu Yuan suddenly surged, and an energy fluctuation several times stronger than the previous world-destroying light ball swept out, even the space itself was compressed and groaned under the weight.

"But if you think that this Xuanhuang Pagoda can contend with me, you are probably delusional!"

Xiao Yan's heart sank to the bottom instantly.

Yes, so what if they can withstand the attack of a nine-star Dou Sheng? They are facing a genuine nine-star Dou Sheng!
Ancestor Danta smiled calmly as he raised the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, the Xuanhuang energy on the pagoda intertwining with the sudden surge of Dan fire around him.

The flames of the pill had an ancient and simple color, faintly exuding a trace of imperial might. Even more astonishingly, a huge phantom of a pill slowly emerged behind him!

Amidst the fragrant aroma of medicine, the illusory patterns blended perfectly with his aura, revealing that it was none other than his true form!
As the Old Ancestor of the Pill Tower activated his mind, his power resonated with the dormant energy within the pagoda!

A destructive force powerful enough to tear the sky apart gathered at the top of the tower, and the surrounding space was squeezed and distorted by this force, making even the void seem to be on fire!

"This is……"

This action caused Gu Yuan to narrow his eyes.

The old patriarch of the Dan Tower said, "I never expected to be able to contend with you with this pagoda."

However, I am now completely bound to the control center of the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda. Now, with just a thought, I can detonate the earth fire power accumulated within the pagoda over thousands of years and the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda itself!
This is enough to unleash an offensive comparable to that of a half-emperor!
You might survive this attack, but the ancient holy city and the ancient realm above it will likely not fare so well.

If we detonate it here, it should at least blast a huge hole in the ancient world..."

The old patriarch of the Pill Tower still wore a faint smile, but his words exploded like thunder across the ancient holy city! The entire city was in an uproar!

The old ancestor of Danta actually intends to use himself as a catalyst to drag the ancient world and the ancient holy city down with him!
Sword Master was terrified upon hearing this, and almost dropped his cane in fright. If the Pill Tower exploded, they would die too!

"Ancestor Danta, you've gone mad!"

Gu Yang's expression changed drastically. He never dreamed that the Old Ancestor of the Pill Tower would be so crazy as to want to drag everyone down with him!

Gu Yuan frowned, a hint of seriousness and displeasure appearing in his eyes for the first time. He had calculated everything, but he hadn't expected that the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda would have a hidden contingency plan of self-destruction, nor had he expected that the Pill Tower Ancestor would be so resolute, willing to gamble with his own life.

What a lunatic!
"Calm down."

Gu Yuan slowly dispersed the golden energy he had gathered in his hand and said coldly, "If you hadn't insisted on interfering in the affairs between my clan and Xiao Yan, why would I have wanted to be an enemy of your Pill Tower?"

Seeing that Gu Yuan had agreed, the Pill Tower Ancestor slowly lowered the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda that he had been holding high. The destructive aura of the pagoda body subsided slightly, but it was still surrounded by a heart-palpitating fluctuation.

This scene, however, caused Gu Yuan's eyes to flicker a few times.

The old patriarch of Danta seemed to see through his thoughts and said calmly, "Don't bother with those ideas."

"Once I die, this exquisite Xuanhuang Pagoda will explode."

Gu Yuan snorted coldly. To put it bluntly, this guy was just a pill, not worth taking such a risk.

The old patriarch of Danta said, "Let us leave, and let this matter end here."

Seeing that the old ancestor of the Pill Tower had given up the idea of ​​self-destruction, Gu Yang's apprehension vanished instantly, and his confidence returned.

He took a step forward, his withered fingers pointing directly at Xiao Yan like a sharp sword, and said coldly, "You're wrong about that."

It's not that our ancient clan won't let you leave, but that some people themselves are unwilling to depart!

The old patriarch of the Pill Tower's expression hardened, and following Gu Yang's gaze, he turned to Xiao Yan behind him. Sure enough, he saw the young man clenching his fists tightly, his face tense, and his eyes full of struggle.

"Child, you..."

Xiao Yan's Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice was hoarse: "Senior, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."

My father, my teacher, and the people of the Xiao clan... are all in the hands of the ancient clan. I cannot leave, nor can I escape!"

Gu Yang sneered: "Don't put it so harshly. My clan invited them into the Ancient Realm with good manners, so that they would not be harmed by villains!"

"Xiao Yan, you should think this through. It's not that we want to force you to stay, but if you want to leave, no one will stop you."

Of course, this means you'll miss the chance to see your father and teachers. But don't worry, they're safe in my ancient realm.

Whether or not you want to come in for a get-together is entirely up to you.

Gu Yuan waved his sleeve and stepped into the spatial passage.

Xiao Yan's gaze was fixed on that spatial passage.

Deep within that passage, it seemed, lay the gentle face of his father, Xiao Zhan, and the familiar laughter of his teacher; yet, at the same time, it also seemed like a vast prison, waiting for him to jump in…

Gu Yang coldly said, "You really are just a piece of trash. If you don't dare to come, then get lost!"

"What a coward! He doesn't even dare to see his own father!"

Yao Wangui and the other five ancient clan Dou Sheng slowly stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Gu Yang. The six powerful auras intertwined, pressing down on Xiao Yan like dark clouds.

As Xiao Yan gazed at the six people before him, he felt as if he were witnessing a scene from many years ago.

He had just come out of the Burning Heaven Qi Refining Tower when this group of people blocked his way, treating him like an ant with the same arrogant attitude!

Yao Wangui's lips curled into a sinister smile: "Xiao Yan, if you don't want to go, that's fine!"
I haven't seen that wretched Yao Chen in a long time. I'll go see him on your behalf and have a late-night talk with him by candlelight. As for what happened and what we said, hehe..."

"I'll go with you!"

Xiao Yan said in a deep voice.
