Chapter 2693: Advancement, Emperor Realm!
The Heaven Devouring Great Emperor watched Fang Bai being wrapped in layers of Immortal Qi, his expression filled with astonishment.
That giant cocoon formed by various attributes of Immortal Qi, continuously swollen as an endless supply of Immortal Qi rushed in, resembling a snowball growing larger and larger, its volume rapidly expanding.
The Heaven Devouring Great Emperor attempted to infiltrate the cocoon with his Divine Sense to check Fang Bai’s current state, only to find the cocoon akin to an impregnable barrier, repelling his Divine Sense.
"Whether he lives or dies, let’s first obtain the Great Emperor Pill!"
Muttering to himself, the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor ignored Fang Bai and turned, flying toward the center of the barrier.
Within this barrier of one hundred thousand miles in radius, there were a thousand mountain peaks, but the tallest mountain at its center was like a giant sword connecting heaven and earth, piercing the sky.
Around the mountain, Immortal Qi lingered, and at its summit stood a Stone Platform made of Starshine Stone, upon which an Elixir silently sat.
The Elixir was the size of a pigeon egg, crystal-clear and emerald-green, and upon close examination, divine brilliance flowed within it, containing Supreme Divine Power.
And the ax that disappeared without a trace upon entering the barrier now hovered beside the Elixir, like a guardian protecting it from any outside intrusion.
"So it truly is the Great Emperor Pill! After obtaining this pill, by using the blood of several Demon Emperors as a lead and consuming this pill, I might break the current cultivation shackles in one stroke and advance to the Great Emperor Realm!"
The Heaven Devouring Great Emperor flew to the side of the tallest mountain, his gaze fervently fixed on the Elixir on the Starshine Stone Platform, a greedy expression on his face.
After seizing rebirth, the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor found that the cultivation environment of the Immortal, Demon, and Monster realms differed greatly from that of millions of years ago.
In order to swiftly enhance his power and return to the Divine Realm, he began traversing the Immortal, Demon, and Monster realms in search of opportunities.
A once-dazzling Demon Clan Emperor reborn through seizing, his mind encompassed all, knowing everything, using vast cultivation resources obtained from the Immortal, Demon, and Monster realms to ascend all the way to the current Emperor Realm.
When he first arrived at this barrier, he sensed the presence of the Great Emperor Pill within it; however, despite being ecstatic, he lacked the ability to break the barrier.
Since then, he repeatedly came near the barrier, hoping to find a way in, and at last, today his wish was fulfilled.
Looking at the Great Emperor Pill with divine brilliance flowing, the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor was overjoyed.
Soon after, his gaze fell on the ax beside the Great Emperor Pill, his expression twisted with a cold sneer: "If it wasn’t for that little immortal stirring trouble earlier, you would already be in my hands! Let’s see where you can run this time!"
That ax was undoubtedly a Divine Artifact, its power comparable to the Heaven Devouring Pot, and the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor naturally wouldn’t let it escape.
Moreover, he saw that the ax was guarding the Great Emperor Pill, so to acquire the pill, he needed to first subdue the ax.
Now, that annoying little immortal was wrapped in layers of Immortal Qi and could no longer interfere, giving the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor full confidence in subduing the ax.
The ax trembled incessantly, black mists swelling, emitting a buzzing sound as though challenging the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor.
The Heaven Devouring Great Emperor let out a long howl, abruptly reaching out to grab the ax.
The ax cleaved through the air, its blade beams slicing the void into fragments, fiercely striking at the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor’s approaching giant palm.
The Heaven Devouring Great Emperor sneered, his giant palm expanding instantly, fingers curving like hooks, resembling the talons of a Giant Eagle, locking the intersecting ax beams in his palm, and then squeezing tightly.
With a hissing sound, the ax beams dissipated under the tremendous force of the giant palm.
As the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor initiated his attack on the ax, the layers of Immortal Qi enveloping Fang Bai rapidly began to change.
Like an enormous silkworm cocoon, the Immortal Qi rapidly shrank, visible to the naked eye, greedily absorbed by Fang Bai’s body.
With the massive influx of Immortal Qi, Fang Bai’s meridians and blood vessels expanded crazily, like great rivers accommodating raging torrents.
The Immortal Qi circulated continuously through Fang Bai’s meridians and blood vessels, becoming increasingly pure, eventually transforming into strands of Chaos Immortal Qi, flowing into Fang Bai’s Qi Sea.
The Chaos Immortal Qi refined by Fang Bai’s body entered the seven Primordial Spirits within the Qi Sea, each according to its attribute.
After absorbing the strands of Chaos Immortal Qi, the seven Primordial Spirits underwent significant changes, gaining flesh and blood, their features handsome, completely resembling miniature versions of Fang Bai, except for being unclothed.
Their previously closed eyes slowly opened, their bright gaze like lightning, illuminating the entire Qi Sea.
Simultaneously, Fang Bai’s body released a powerful aura the moment the seven Primordial Spirits opened their eyes.
This aura contained immense imperial power, spreading out like a hurricane, turning all the surrounding mountains, rivers, flowers, and grasses to nothingness within a mile radius.
"That little immortal actually advanced to the Emperor Realm!"
The Heaven Devouring Great Emperor, who was closing in on the ax and seeing his impending success, was shocked by the aura spreading from Fang Bai.
He never imagined that Fang Bai could advance to the Emperor Realm inside this barrier.
For him, it was extremely bad news.
Previously, when Fang Bai was still a Quasi-Emperor, he could endure for quite some time against the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor’s attacks with the help of his Divine Artifact, something even ordinary Emperor Realm Experts couldn’t accomplish.
Once Fang Bai became a true Emperor Realm Expert, equipped with a Divine Artifact, wouldn’t he possess the strength to truly rival the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor?
If aided by this ax, the little immortal’s combat capability might surpass his own.
By then, trying to obtain the Great Emperor Pill would prove incredibly difficult.
Thinking of this, the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor grew anxious.
He decided to abandon the attack on the ax and instead reached for the Great Emperor Pill.
The ax was certainly a rare Divine Artifact, but in the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor’s eyes, the Great Emperor Pill was far more important.
As long as he obtained the Great Emperor Pill, he could leave this place and find a secluded location to cultivate wholeheartedly.
If he advanced to the Great Emperor Realm using the Great Emperor Pill, any Emperor realm experts in the three realms would be no more than ants in his eyes, effortlessly annihilated.
However, he forgot that the Great Emperor Pill was a highly spiritual object, not easily acquired without fate.
As his palm was about to touch the Great Emperor Pill, it suddenly transformed into a streak of light and flew away, swiftly reaching over a hundred miles away.
The Heaven Devouring Great Emperor, both angry and anxious, turned to chase, simultaneously using magical spells to conjure thousands of Demon Qi Big Palms, attempting to seize the Great Emperor Pill.
The Great Emperor Pill weaved through the shadows of the countless palms, unexpectedly flying toward Fang Bai.
It seemed to sense a familiar aura on Fang Bai, pausing before him.
Fang Bai, having just advanced to the Emperor Realm, was feeling the long-lost powerful energy within him when he saw an Elixir appear before him, momentarily stunned.
Immediately, he realized this Elixir was incredibly unique, its contained power far surpassing an Emperor Elixir.
