Chapter 624 The Emperor's Wrath, Blood Stains the Galaxy
It should be understood that even a great emperor who suppresses the heavens and earth and is invincible in the world, without taking the elixir of immortality, usually only has a lifespan of about 20,000 years.
Legend has it that the alchemist quasi-emperor who created the pill formula once had the audacity to secretly abduct a newly enlightened "Eternal Saint Body" and throw him alive into the pill furnace to refine him into a top-grade saint pill.
Later, he hunted everywhere and used two other holy bodies with different constitutions to refine medicine.
These three insane alchemy attempts caused the lifespan of that alchemy demon quasi-emperor to skyrocket from the original nine thousand years to a terrifying twenty-one thousand years!
A quasi-emperor who has not yet attained the status of an emperor actually lived longer than a true emperor.
This is simply a ruthless mockery of the laws of heaven and earth.
However, karma is a cycle.
Although this quasi-emperor of the Dan Demon realm gained a lifespan exceeding that of an emperor, he ultimately only lived for a little over ten thousand years before his destined end.
The reason was simple: the "Eternal Life Saint Body" that he captured in order to refine the first batch of Longevity Saint Pills had an older brother who had become a Great Emperor in the present day.
When that emperor attained enlightenment, his thunderous wrath shook the entire ancient starry road.
The Great Emperor personally descended upon the star field where the opponent was located, and with a single palm strike, shattered the Quasi-Emperor Killing Array that the Pill Demon Quasi-Emperor was so proud of, crushing his body, which had lived for ten thousand years, into blood mist inch by inch.
The entire lineage to which Danmo belonged, from the sage elders to the doormen, was completely wiped out by the enraged emperor, leaving no one alive.
Not only that, but all other forces in that star field that were related to Danmo were also wiped out by this Great Emperor.
It is said that when the emperor is angry, millions of corpses lie in wait and blood flows for miles.
But the wrath of this great emperor caused countless corpses to lie in wait, and the blood to stain the Milky Way.
Since then, the recipe for this "sacred elixir," stained with sin and taboo, is said to have been completely lost and buried in the dust of history.
But who could have imagined that the cunning and treacherous alchemy quasi-emperor seemed to have foreseen his own doom for his many evil deeds and thus leaked the alchemy formula ahead of time.
Even though his lineage was wiped out, this vicious pill formula has been secretly preserved to this day. In fact, a fragment of the scroll eventually ended up in the top-secret inheritance of the successive holy masters of the Tai Xuan Holy Land.
At this moment, the Supreme Saint Lord stood in the void, his mind replaying the records about the "Sacred Pill," and the scales in his heart were swaying violently.
His original plan was flawless.
The ancestor of the Tai Xuan Holy Land has exhausted his lifespan to the extreme and could pass away at any time.
As soon as the ancestor dies, the quasi-emperors of the three holy lands will immediately come to kill him, and the Tai Xuan Holy Land will inevitably face annihilation.
Xiao Yan possesses the domineering and unparalleled "Burning Heaven Sacred Body," which, although not an immortal sacred body, is definitely an excellent main ingredient for refining sacred pills.
The Supreme Lord of Tai Xuan used resources to elevate him to the Saint Realm, then used the tampered "Soul-Nourishing Lotus" to control his soul, and finally threw him into the alchemy furnace to refine a Saint Pill that could extend life by a thousand years.
If this sacred pill is offered to Ancestor Tai Xuan and he takes it, he will be able to live for another thousand years!
A thousand years is enough time to deter the three holy lands and prevent them from making any rash moves.
A thousand years is enough time for the Tai Xuan Holy Land to recuperate and even find a new way to break the deadlock.
Sacrificing a holy son to preserve an ancient holy land that has been passed down for millions of years—in the eyes of the Supreme Lord of the Tai Xuan, this deal was definitely worthwhile.
But now... when he saw with his own eyes Lin Hanzhou's terrifying talent, which was so extraordinary that it couldn't be fathomed by common sense, he hesitated and became conflicted.
"From the first level of the Dao Severing Realm to attracting the Saint Tribulation in three years... With such talent, let alone a Quasi-Emperor, what difficulty would there be in proving the Dao and becoming an Emperor?"
The eyes of the Supreme Saint Lord were filled with struggle.
He looked at the young man sitting cross-legged beneath the sea of lightning, his sharpness as radiant as an unparalleled sword, and his heart bled.
If it were an ordinary holy body, he would not hesitate to take action.
But this is a peerless prodigy who has the potential to become an emperor within the next few hundred years!
Using the life of a future emperor to save one's ancestor for a mere thousand years of lingering existence is an utter waste of resources and the greatest waste of the entire cultivation world!
"well……"
A sigh filled with endless vicissitudes and helplessness slowly escaped from the mouth of the Supreme Saint Lord, echoing in the void.
"What a pity...it's such a pity."
The Supreme Lord of Tai Xuan closed his eyes.
"Xiao Yan, if only you had been born five hundred years earlier... no, even just a hundred years earlier!"
"Even if we, the Tai Xuan Holy Land, fight to the last drop of blood, even if we sell our possessions, we will still worship you as a god, dedicate everything to protecting you and helping you ascend to the throne of the Great Emperor!"
"Once you become an emperor, Tai Xuan will be able to suppress the Eastern Continent for another ten thousand years! But... time waits for no one..."
The Supreme Lord of Tai Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, and the hesitation and pity that had been in his eyes were instantly replaced by an absolute coldness and determination.
There are not even a hundred years left; the Tai Xuan Holy Land doesn't even have ten years left.
If the ancestor were to fall now, the Tai Xuan Holy Land would immediately disintegrate and be divided up by the three great holy lands, leaving not even a trace of bones.
No matter how great the future emperor may be, it is still a vague and uncertain future.
As the Supreme Master of Tai Xuan, he must be responsible for his disciples who are still alive and must protect the legacy passed down by his ancestor.
"Forgive me. If you have someone to blame, blame yourself for being born at the wrong time, for showing an unwarranted sharpness in this chaotic world."
The Supreme Lord of Tai Xuan's expression turned extremely cold; he had made his decision.
Once the tribulation of lightning has passed and the opponent has adjusted and stabilized their aura, he will immediately activate the soul imprint within the "Soul Nourishing Lotus" to capture them in one fell swoop and begin refining pills!
……
Meanwhile, on a secondary peak hundreds of miles away from the Holy Son Cave Mountain.
As the only Saint Realm cultivator besides the Saint Master who remained in the sect to guard the Tai Xuan Holy Land, Gu Changkong was holding a wine gourd and staring dumbfounded at the strange phenomenon in the sky.
With a "thud".
Gu Changkong loosened his grip, and the precious purple-gold wine gourd fell directly onto the rock, spilling its fragrant wine all over the ground, but he was completely unaware.
"My goodness..."
Gu Changkong's mouth dropped open, his jaw almost falling to his feet.
He rubbed his eyes and pinched his thigh hard until he felt a piercing pain, only then did he realize he wasn't dreaming.
When his saint-level divine sense swept across the mountain peak and confirmed that the person who triggered the tribulation to become a saint over a million miles was none other than "Brother Xiao," who had been drinking with him three years ago and had just broken through to the Dao-Slaying Realm, Gu Changkong's mind went blank for a moment, as if ten thousand ancient giant elephants were stampeding through his mind.
"No way, buddy? Are you kidding me?"
Gu Changkong was completely bewildered in the wind, his worldview having suffered a devastating blow.
"Three years? Just three years? You jumped straight to the peak of the Dao Severing Realm right after you stepped into it, before your cultivation was even stable, and now you're about to break through to the Saint Realm?"
"This isn't cultivation, this is defying the heavens!"
