Every eye narrowed, fixated on the Heavenly Flame dancing playfully upon Yao Chen's palm.It felt overwhelmingly dominant, searing hot, and terrifyingly fierce. Yet, not a single person among them could discern what rank this specific Heavenly Flame held."This Heavenly Flame feels familiar... But that's impossible. The Demonic Lotus Flame should be far more violent, drenched in a thick, malevolent demonic aura, and utterly horrifying!" one of the overlords muttered, reviewing his memories."True... but this flame is exceptionally powerful. How could we possibly turn down such a bet?!"With a casual flick of his wrist, Yao Chen made the flame vanish.'It seems my fire control techniques haven't rusted one bit... They can't even identify the flame I hold,' Yao Chen mused to himself."HAHAHAHAHA! This wager has finally become interesting!" one of the overlords laughed in sheer satisfaction."Brat, brace yourself... And as for the top five young alchemists of the Pill Tower... STEP FORWA

Bluuuuuuuup!The pill cauldron vibrated intensely, then coughed out five bright golden pills, each with the inscription of a lifelike dragon etched deep within.Everyone could see it clearly: it was not just a single pill. In a single refinement process, five pills with a level of purity none of them had ever witnessed before were floating gracefully in the sky.Ling Suan cast a dismissive glance toward Yao Chen."We will admit defeat only when you manage to preserve all five pills from the impending heavenly punishment...""Hahahahaha! You are bound to die! Even the seven towers can no longer withstand the next lightning tribulation!""Just give up already!"Every spectator held their breath. The three pillars of light began to hum, and the lightning energy no longer manifested as ordinary sparks. Instead, a massive dragon brimming with volatile energy loomed over, eyeing Yao Chen’s five creations!GROAAAAAAARH!"There's no way he can withstand a heavenly punishment this powerful, ri

Shang Guan took a deep breath."Then what about your past?"Yao Chen gave a long, detailed, and thorough account of the events that had befallen him up until the moment he met Shang Guan."So, the Immortal God realm... is not the ultimate peak of cultivation?"Shang Guan nodded her head. "The path of cultivation is immensely long and shrouded in secrets... The heavens are vast, and those who style themselves as the Cultivators of Heaven are merely a cabal of rulers wishing to dominate the entire continent... Young Master, I will certainly help you exact vengeance for your past."Yao Chen sneered coldly. "Everything requires preparation. We will wage war against anyone who stands in the way of my desires... I refuse to believe the heavens can silence me so easily."Yao Chen regained control of his body as Sian Sian seemed to recall his divine soul awareness back to reality. He looked toward a cluster of floating mountains. His brows furrowed when he felt the circulation of Qi energy th

Baaaaaang! Baaaaang! Baaaaaang!Fine threads of energy, resembling needles, shot out from every corner. The energy zipped through the air, instantly obliterating the bodies of the demon beasts trapped inside the cage.In less than a minute, every single demon beast within the array died without putting up a fight. The watching cultivators shuddered in sheer horror at the sight, and even Cao Yu could not help but swallow hard.'I can feel that those fine needles of energy are capable of wounding even a God-grade skeletal frame... It seems he truly is no ordinary cultivator...'The slaughter-enclosing array vanished. Yao Chen’s figure now hovered in the air as he pivoted, looking down at the wounded cultivators."Forgive us for our late arrival..."Wuuuuuuuush!Piles of Heaven-grade pills—specifically inner and outer injury healing pills—stacked up before the cultivators."Distribute all these pills evenly...""T-this is...""Even the Soul Sword Sect that came to help us has never grant

"Yao Chen, watch out?!"The whip lunging toward Yao Chen's body was faster. Clearly, the old man wanted to target Yao Chen first. However, with his heightened awareness, Yao Chen subtly shifted his body. Instead of wrapping around his torso, the lashing whip coiled tightly around the black slab sword.Wuuuuuuuush!At the exact same time, the old man shot up into the sky. Believing his whip had snared the boy's body, he intended to execute the very same slam Yao Chen had inflicted on him.Yet, as he flew high into the sky, a sense of unease washed over him. Why did the weight pulling down toward the ground feel so incredibly heavy?"Old man, your calculations are a bit off... Because what you've snared is my heavy sword."The old man’s eyes widened in horror. The unexpected, colossal weight of the sword forced him into a violent, rapid descent toward the earth.Gedebooooooom!His body crashed and buried itself into the ground right beside the black slab sword. The old man scrambled up,
