Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

"Let's get straight to the point, Imperial-grade embryonic pill."

Upon hearing this, the old man's expression changed drastically, and he blurted out the words.

"How do you know?!"

Whether in appearance or aura, the Emperor-grade embryonic pill has been imitated very well. Its quasi-Emperor level aura can bring a strong sense of pressure to a Nine-Star Dou Sheng.

Dragon Emperor Zhukun, for example, was already intimidated by the Emperor-grade embryonic pill, and it would only take him a snap of his fingers to subdue him.

But now, its identity has been exposed by a human!

"No matter how you learned my secret, today, you will all die!"

Enraged, the young Emperor-grade Core Formation cultivator rapidly expanded its aura.

"Not Tushadupati..."

Zhu Kun breathed a sigh of relief, but was quickly overwhelmed by the powerful pressure, his body tensing up.

"Young friend Han Feng, the opponent is very powerful. What do you think we should do?"

The mighty Dragon Emperor, facing an enemy he could not defeat, began to seek guidance from the master who had rescued him.

Unbeknownst to them, the positions of the two had changed, and Han Feng now stood above Zhu Kun.

"I'd like to trouble Senior Zhukun to step forward and hold the fort first. I'm about to perform a secret technique, which may take some time."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Kun nodded, and a purple-gold light surged from his body.

"Then hurry up, I don't know how long I can hold out."

boom!

The next second, the old man slammed down with a palm, carrying immense power.

"Emperor's Palm!"

Zhu Kun stared at the palm print falling from the sky and gritted his teeth to push it upwards.

"The Limitless Void Seal!"

Zhu Kun roared, its enormous dragon claw enveloped in a magnificent purple-gold aura, as it fiercely met the "Emperor's Palm" that was powerful enough to shatter mountains!

The light of the Primordial Void Seal clashed violently with the immense power of the Emperor Pill Palm!

"Boom——!!!"

A deafening roar echoed within the ancient emperor's space.

Zhu Kun's massive dragon body trembled violently, and cracks appeared on its claws, which were covered with hard dragon scales. The void beneath its feet collapsed inch by inch.

An overwhelming force surged through the dragon's claws, shaking him so much that his internal organs seemed to shift. He let out a muffled groan, and the golden light in his dragon eyes dimmed slightly.

"puff!"

Zhu Kun ultimately failed to completely block the attack and was slammed down by the remaining force of the palm strike, crashing heavily onto the hard plaza floor below, creating a deep crater and filling the air with dust.

He struggled to get up, blood spilling from his mouth, his breath weak, clearly indicating he had suffered a severe injury.

A casual strike from a Nascent Soul cultivator of Emperor Rank is terrifyingly powerful!

"A mere web crawler dares to block my way?"

The old man, formed from the embryonic Emperor-grade pill, hovered in the air, his eyes cold and disdainful.

It raised its hand, and even more powerful energy began to condense, clearly preparing to completely eliminate Zhu Kun, this troublesome fellow.

Zhu Kun had just been released from the cage, and his strength had not yet reached its peak. Otherwise, although he would definitely be no match for a Nascent Soul Emperor, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

Of course, this doesn't apply when you're risking your life!

Zhu Kun gritted his teeth, a resolute look appearing in his eyes.

The legacy of the ancient emperor Tuoshe Gudi is not so easy to obtain.

He had this realization before entering the stone gate: since the Emperor-grade embryonic pill is so troublesome, then even if it costs me my life, I will subdue you. At the very least, I will buy more time for Han Feng!

Just as Zhu Kun was preparing to fight to the death!

"Om-!"

A mysterious and unpredictable fluctuation suddenly emanated from where Han Feng was located.

This fluctuation was not domineering, but it carried a supreme law power originating from the very source of pills, as if it were the absolute nemesis of all pills!

Han Feng formed an extremely ancient and complex hand seal with his hands. The trajectory of that hand seal faintly echoed some of the patterns on the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade!

His eyes were closed, and his soul power poured out without reservation. He chanted incantations, each syllable seemingly containing the ultimate truths of heaven and earth, communicating with the mysterious laws of alchemy.

"The elixir transforms into all spirits, the divine technique guides them! The origin returns to its rightful place, and spirituality lies dormant!"

"The Divine Art of Elixir Transformation—Imperial Decree!"

Chapter 498 Destiny

With a final low shout, Han Feng suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils seemingly filled with countless tiny cinnabar patterns that seemed to flow and disappear!

He pushed his palms forward, and a strange rune, constructed from pure soul power and radiating a soft yet irresistible light, instantly traversed space, ignoring the protective energy of the Emperor-grade embryonic core, and precisely imprinted itself on its body—the perfectly round Emperor-grade embryonic core hidden within the old man's phantom core!

"what--!!!"

The old man, who had been transformed from a nascent Emperor-grade pill, let out an unprecedented, piercing scream filled with pain and extreme horror!

The sound was sharp and piercing, as if the soul was being torn apart!

The terrifying energy it had gathered in its hand instantly dissipated, and the immense pressure emanating from its body, which resembled that of the ancient Emperor Tuoshe, vanished rapidly like a punctured balloon.

The old man's form was violently distorted and fluctuated, as if he was about to collapse at any moment.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!!"

The voice of the Emperor-grade Nascent Soul cultivator was filled with disbelief and panic, "The Divine Technique of Core Formation?! The secret technique of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe! He has long since perished, this technique should have been lost! You... how could you, a mere human, possibly master it?!"

It sensed an irresistible, primal binding force spreading from the soul rune.

This power penetrated deep into its core, like an invisible chain, forcibly suppressing and sealing its violent intelligence, and forcing it back to its most primitive form as a medicinal pill!

It tried to mobilize the power of a quasi-emperor to resist, but the power of the runes seemed to be its natural enemy. The more turbulent its power was, the brighter the light of the runes became, and the stronger the binding force became!

"No! I am a nascent Emperor-grade Core Formation! I am about to achieve Emperor-grade status! How can I be subdued by an ant like you?!"

The Emperor-grade embryonic core struggled frantically, its body bursting with dazzling light as it tried to break free from the runes' restraints.

The entire Ancient Emperor Space trembled violently due to its raging energy.

However, the power of the Divine Elixir Transformation Technique was like a maggot clinging to a bone; it was not only not dispersed, but instead, like mercury spilling onto the ground, it penetrated even deeper into the origin of its elixir.

The gentle light began to suppress its restless spirit and purify the ferocity it had developed over the long years and yearning for freedom.

"Uhh—!!"

The Emperor-grade embryonic pill let out an unwilling roar, and the old man's illusion completely collapsed, revealing its core—a fist-sized, perfectly round pill that exuded indescribable vast energy and profound pill fragrance!

On the surface of the pill, the "Divine Pill Transformation Technique" rune, condensed from Han Feng's soul power, shone brightly and was firmly imprinted on it.

The pill trembled violently, its light flickering as if in a final stand.

But before the supreme elixir formula originating from the creator, Tuoshegudi, all its resistance seemed futile and laughable.

Finally, after a reluctant buzzing sound, the light of the Emperor-grade embryonic core completely subsided, and the violent aura calmed down.

It floated quietly in the air, radiating a warm, jade-like luster. The pure and powerful energy fluctuations originating from the elixir itself were still awe-inspiring, but the malevolent energy and rebellious will belonging to "intelligence" within it had been completely tamed and suppressed by the power of the "Divine Elixir Transformation Technique".

It is no longer a quasi-emperor-level being with independent will, but an unclaimed nascent emperor-grade pill waiting to be refined!

Han Feng's face was as pale as paper, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his body swayed slightly.

Using the "Transformation Elixir Divine Technique" consumed an enormous amount of energy, almost draining his already incompletely recovered soul power.

But as he looked at the tamed Emperor-grade embryonic core in the air, his eyes gleamed with barely suppressed excitement.

Become!

Zhu Kun struggled to climb out of the deep pit, gazing at the docile Emperor-grade embryonic core in the air, and then at Han Feng, who had teetered on the brink of collapse but had successfully accomplished an astonishing feat. His dragon eyes were filled with shock and awe.

He had just truly felt the terror of the Emperor-grade embryonic pill and witnessed the heaven-defying power of that mysterious pill formula.

"Young friend Han Feng..." Zhu Kun's voice was somewhat hoarse, "Your secret technique... is truly unbelievable!"

Han Feng took a deep breath, barely managing to steady himself, and gave Zhu Kun a tired but incredibly bright smile: "I have fulfilled my mission. Thank you for your hard work, senior."

He stared intently at the Emperor-grade embryonic pill, and with a wave of his hand, the supreme divine pill seemed to be drawn towards him, slowly flying towards him.

When the Emperor Pill was once again in his hand, Han Feng felt as if he had returned to his past life.

As the power of the Emperor's Pill flowed continuously into his palm, Han Feng knew that he had grasped his destiny.

The interweaving of time and space connects past and present lives, which also means that Han Feng has completed his mission in his previous life.

The past is gone, but the present remains.

What remains are the troubles he has brought upon himself in this world.

"This is a nascent Emperor-grade pill?!"

Zhu Kun stared intently at the pill in Han Feng's hand.

If you swallow it, you can advance to the legendary Dou Di level?!

Han Feng looked at Zhu Kun: "That's right, but it's only in its embryonic form now, and it hasn't been truly refined yet."

"To refine a true Emperor Pill, one final step of pill formation is still needed."

In its previous life, it took the combined efforts of thousands of alchemy masters, who exhausted their vital energy, to finally succeed in refining it.

In this life, Han Feng will personally open the furnace and refine the Emperor Pill.

The burning desire in Zhu Kun's eyes gradually subsided. If it weren't for Han Feng beside him, he would have really wanted to snatch the Emperor Pill.

On the path to becoming emperor, no one can remain completely calm.

"Refining an Emperor-level pill must be quite difficult, right?"

Han Feng nodded.

"It is indeed very difficult, but I am not without confidence."

Having the experience of refining Emperor Pills in his previous life, Han Feng is no longer the two-star Dou Sheng he was in this life, even though there is no one to work together with him.

A nine-star Dou Sheng level of strength is sufficient to support the refining of this Emperor-grade embryonic pill.

Han Feng carefully put away the Emperor-grade embryonic pill. The warm, jade-like texture, yet containing vast energy, finally put a huge weight off his heart.

The opportunity that I had barely managed to grasp in my past life, even at the cost of my life, is now so real and in my hands.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his turbulent emotions, and turned his gaze to the enormous stone statue that exuded an ancient majesty despite its silent aura.

Zhu Kun clearly noticed Han Feng's gaze as well. He followed Han Feng's line of sight, his dragon eyes flashing with a sharp light: "Young friend Han Feng, you also sensed the mystery behind this stone statue?"

His massive body leaned slightly forward, with a hint of inquiry and anticipation.

Han Feng nodded, his tone certain: "The true inheritance of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, its core secrets, are most likely contained within this stone statue."

"Sure enough!"

Zhu Kunlong's whiskers twitched slightly, and a strong light burst forth from his eyes.

Having been trapped here for countless years, he had long suspected the inheritance, and now that Han Feng had confirmed it, he was even more excited.

"but."

Han Feng changed the subject, his gaze sweeping over the countless tiny orbs of light around the stone statue, which rose and fell slowly like stars, their brightness fluctuating.

"This stone statue is extremely mysterious, and there seems to be no obvious way to open it. Perhaps a specific opportunity or chance is required. Rather than wasting our energy here, we should first collect these scattered 'stars'. Since they were collected here by the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe, they must be extraordinary in terms of cultivation techniques and combat skills."

Zhu Kun agreed wholeheartedly.

While inheriting the Emperor Realm is the ultimate goal, these readily available inheritances are equally invaluable treasures.

He looked around, his dragon eyes scrutinizing him: "Not bad! These light orbs have different auras and varying strengths, but the weakest are probably low-level Heaven Rank, and there must be quite a few high-level Heaven Rank ones!"

Without further hesitation, the two chose their own directions and began collecting the floating orbs of light.

Han Feng's soul power emanated, accurately sensing the energy fluctuations of each light cluster.

He did not collect them blindly, but rather, based on his past life experience and the unique sensitivity to fire-attribute energy from the Burning Technique, he prioritized those light clusters with the oldest aura, the purest energy, or those with strange fluctuations.
