Chapter 707 - 379: Advancement to Sequence Five, [Grass Pill Master]_2
This laughter is even more chaotic, discordant, and unpleasant to the ear, making people want to tear their ears apart, ruining their eardrums!
In Bai Mo’s arms, his two fox disciples kept their eyes closed, raised their front paws to cover their triangular ears, and buried their heads in their master’s embrace, refusing to see or hear anything!
"This grimace, is it the Immortal Technique of a Fallen Immortal? Or...is it pollution?"
Then in the next moment, a giant beast claw phantom stirred the mist and reached fiercely from below towards the sky, grabbing at the filthy grimace!
The beast claw phantom had a faint blue light, endless runes, endless knowledge, driven by knowledge for flesh, knowledge for bones, knowledge for propulsion!
The beast claw phantom exterior was filthy black oil, dirty black light, chaotic black smoke, driven by pollution for scales, pollution for claws, pollution for aggressive attack!
Boom!
Under the claw, the grimace deformed, black fire exploded, black smoke rolled, black oil splattered, countless knowledge runes shattered and extinguished!
Airwaves swept, impacting all directions, the mist rolled like storm waves from an angry sea!
The vast Douluo Heaven was shaken by it!
Bai Mo clicked his tongue in amazement.
"This Taotie’s Immortal Technique is actually driven by endless knowledge to wield pollution.
"What exactly is its composition?
"Was it itself polluted?"
Bai Mo was truly shocked!
He never imagined there were such Immortal Techniques in this world?
But at this moment, he couldn’t afford too much sentiment.
"Thanks to a few Fallen Immortal brothers for winning a brief moment for me, I can’t dawdle."
He rode the Five-Colored Fire Cloud and flew to the mouth of the Yin Grass Furnace.
Crack...
A heavy echo sounded as he pushed the giant lid open with one hand.
Swish...
The rushing sound of wind as he tossed the ice orb into this gigantic Alchemy Furnace.
Crack!
The ice orb shattered.
He immediately maneuvered the Fire Cloud to dodge away from the furnace mouth.
A moment of silence followed, before turbulent air erupted violently from the mouth!
Whoosh...
Amidst the whistling, the airstream carried alcohol scent, medicinal aroma, drop by drop of dark yellow Taotie saliva, spewing out!
Bai Mo maneuvered the Fire Cloud to circle the Yin Grass Furnace, his eyes flashing with blue light.
Seven Great Tripods spun swiftly beside him!
"I went to great lengths back then to understand the connection between these seven Great Tripods, letting them have a fixed sequence, forming bonds with each other.
"Only today did I understand what the purpose was.
"Knowledge Container, lift up this Alchemy Furnace for me!"
The seven Great Tripods, like seven meteors, with a "swoosh," flew through the air surrounding this gigantic Alchemy Furnace.
Then with "clang" "clang" "clang"... one after another, they attached from seven different directions to the Alchemy Furnace.
The Pot was initially huge, but compared with this Alchemy Furnace, it seemed adorably small, overly tiny and pocket-sized.
Yet now, following Bai Mo’s Heart Thought, the seven Great Tripods resonated with each other, their bonds firm, jointly exerting upward force!
Rumble...
The Yin Grass Furnace shook, dust, and mud crust from its surface cascaded down!
...
"Hiss—ah!"
Taotie stood atop the mountain, stepping at the mouth of the Jade Kui Dragon Burner, raised its head and roared!
There were no enemies around it, only blood, only black oil flowing, black fire burning, only severed limbs, only dozens of Knowledge Containers sprayed down by its saliva!
Its one eye grew darker, filthier, oilier!
Its other eye’s knowledge blue light slightly dimmed, weakened somewhat compared to before the battle!
Its face was full of grim laughter, its heart, full of pride!
A mere Sequence Two bug, even if carrying pollution, how dare it come to provoke it?
Sequence Two?
Prince?
What are those things worth!
But, suddenly, its smile froze.
It realized, inside the Yin Grass Furnace, layer upon layer of saliva and marks it left behind... were no longer sensed! Shockingly cleaned up completely!
"Hiss?"
It gazed intensely, extending its head from this impenetrable mist, seen far into the distance.
Saw that Yin Grass Furnace, the one the old Emperor couldn’t use, gently vibrating, in the hum shedding thousands of years of accumulated dust and mud crust, radiating thick mystical black light, uplifted by the Bronze Pot, slowly rising into the sky!
Its face instantly twisted!
This! Is! Impossible!
No one can surpass the Emperor!
"Hiss-ah—"
Its voice shook Douluo Heaven!
Above it, in the sky, the giant beast claw phantom, knowledge for flesh, pollution for scales and claws, emerged once again, smacked fiercely towards the distance, aiming for that Yin Grass Furnace!
Boom!
With claw descending, dust and smoke filled the sky!
The piled mountain of Alchemy Furnaces, whether Copper Furnaces or Stone Furnaces, Gold Furnaces or Jade Furnaces, shattered into splattering fragments!
Yet that particular Yin Grass Furnace, it ultimately couldn’t keep.
Just before the giant claw phantom descended, the Yin Grass Furnace left Douluo Heaven, returned to the current world.
Taotie’s eyes streamed tears, a pure line, a filthy line.
Stared fixated at the dust and smoke it slammed up, lingering without dispersing across the sky.
Amidst the sound of the wind, there came the faint echo of lingering laughter!
...
Underneath the dark clouds, fierce winds howled, swirling sand into the air.
Digging below, a group of foxes guarded the bronze altar, eyes wide open, expressions tense.
Crack!
Another rune on the altar shattered.
Snap!
A crack appeared on the altar!
Two cracks appeared on the altar!
Boom!
The altar collapsed, fragments tumbling like a flood!
"Ying ying ying?"
"Ao ao ao?"
The foxes stayed far enough away to be untouched, but each was frightened, all looking up at the top of the altar, at that blurry, misty white fog!
The next moment, as the white fog was about to dissipate, an enormous creature flew out!
Dark and round, it suddenly emerged from the white fog, casting a shadow on the ground!
"Ying?"
"Ao?"
A fire cloud descended, sending Little Flower Arm and Hu Hufeng back to the ground.
"Ying ying ying?"
"Ao ao ao?"
The junior brothers quickly gathered, pulling them to check their heads, paws, tails, even flipping their eyelids to look into their eyes, prying open their mouths to inspect their teeth.
After checking, finding them intact, the junior brothers were slightly relieved but suddenly noticed something off!
"Ying ying ying? Ao ao ao ao?"
Where’s the teacher!?
Little Flower Arm pointed to the sky, pointing at the object flying higher and higher, already soaring high, becoming small from the ground — that enormous alchemy furnace!
"Ao ao ao, ying ying ying ao ao!"
The teacher is sitting atop the alchemy furnace!
A group of foxes all looked up, seeing the alchemy furnace in the sky, becoming a small black dot.
They saw the dark clouds in the sky suddenly flashing with lightning, with serpents of thunder moving across!
Rumble!
Thunder roared!
...
Atop the alchemy furnace, Bai Mo sat cross-legged, feeling the cold high-altitude wind, touching the cold, hard surface of the alchemy furnace, one complex rune after another, then looking up at the sky, at that endlessly high, still distant sea of dark clouds.
"The alchemy furnace just brought from Douluo Heaven is still quite fragile.
"The next step, it needs to undergo the purification of thunder tribulation."
As the words fell, a pillar of lightning instantly descended from the sky, drowning Bai Mo and the alchemy furnace in endless electricity!
Under the electric bath, Bai Mo’s clothes carbonized, turning into scattered ashes.
But he didn’t care.
Rumble!
The second pillar of lightning descended from the sky, submerging the alchemy furnace and Bai Mo together!
Rumble!
Rumble!
...
Pillar after pillar of lightning, endless electric light, endless electric slurry, poured into the alchemy furnace, also onto Bai Mo’s body.
The sound of rain...
This long-absent dream began to rain.
Torrential rain poured from the sky to the ground.
The foxes couldn’t bother with umbrellas, looking up, allowing the rain to soak their fur, staring with wide eyes at the alchemy furnace and the teacher in the sky, watching them bathed in one continuous bolt of lightning after another.
White Ears was still afraid.
"Ying ying ying?"
"Ao ao ao?"
The teacher will be alright, right?
Black Belt waved a front paw, speaking in fox language, immediately refuting!
"Ao ao ao ying ying..."
Of course, he’ll be fine!
If something were to happen, would the teacher rush up to get struck by lightning?
On the contrary, the teacher being struck by lightning up in the sky looks amazing!
...
Bai Mo sat atop the alchemy furnace, watching it tremble slightly, wisps of smoke rising in the lightning, impurities being refined!
Listening to the alchemy furnace humming softly amidst the lightning and rainstorm, as if it were singing!
And from this tune, Bai Mo seemed to hear the wishes of his ancestors, the blood, sweat, and tears of immortals throughout generations, advancing on the Immortal Path, their lamentations in adversity, their songs in breakthrough!
Bai Mo heard the language of Sequence Five, learned the script of Sequence Five, characters flowing from this melody into his ears, into his heart.
Bai Mo felt his body tingling in the thunder, as if more apertures were being opened, more secret treasures of the human body being unlocked.
Combining with the information in the melody, he gradually came to understand.
"I am already Sequence Five, the Grass Pill Master.
"The exclusive ability of this Sequence is to manipulate the alchemy furnace?
"An alchemy furnace, freely expanding and contracting, soaring to the heavens, escaping to the earth."
