Alchemy Master

Chapter 413, Stepping Forward

Translator: Silavin

At this moment, the entire Heaven’s Destiny Forbidden Area began to violently tremble. Under this trembling, World Energy became chaotic, and black demonic clouds emerged, filling up the entire sky.

The world changed colour. Countless ancient palaces collapsed, and many Martial Kings, who held themselves in high regard, fled in disarray. Upon sensing these changes, their expressions have all dramatically changed.

Under such turbulence, they felt like drifting duckweed, at risk of being torn to pieces by the violent World Energy!

“What’s happening?”

“What’s going on?”

These Martial Kings looked at each other but could not make any sense of it.

“Could it be that someone obtained an ancient inheritance from the Heaven’s Destiny Forbidden Area?”

Suddenly, a voice of suspicion arose. Following this exclamation, intense greed appeared in the eyes of many Martial Kings. After all, how powerful or even terrifying must the inheritance be to cause such a disturbance?

“The source of the disturbance is over there!” Soon, someone discovered a stone monument in the centre of the ruined ancient temple complex. At this moment, the towering stone monument was covered in black patterns. From a distance, black energy rose, making it look like a demonic monument!

However, the earlier wariness and panic in people’s hearts had now been replaced by greed.

Subsequently, more than ten Martial Kings struggled to control the churning Yuan Energy within their bodies and quickly rushed toward the black stone monument in the centre.

At this moment, in the air in front of the ancient stone monument, Lan Xinyu’s pretty face was somewhat gloomy, and her soft chest heaved violently due to excessive consumption of energy.

“Why is this happening!?” The evil and domineering nature of these black patterns were beyond her expectations. She had originally thought this mission would be easy, but she had suddenly discovered that the situation here was completely beyond her expectations.

“Seal it!” After clenching her jaw, Lan Xinyu let out a light shout. Following her command, the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul behind her emitted a dazzling red light, clearly having been pushed to its limit!

At the same time, her jade hands quickly formed another series of hand seals, and flames even larger than before continuously roared forth, quickly merging into the stone monument, temporarily restraining the erosion of the black patterns.

However, Qin Yichen’s sharp eyes noticed that each time she formed a hand seal, her face grew a shade paler.

[You’re forcing yourself too much…] Qin Yichen narrowed his eyes and shook his head.

Although Lan Xinyu’s strength was considerable, it was evident that this seal and the suppressed being were far beyond what a Martial King could contend with.

Even though she had the Technique  to reinforce the seal, it was already somewhat broken, and with her strength, she could no longer contain the evil being suppressed below!

*Whoosh!*

*Whoosh!*

With several sharp sounds of wind being cut, more than ten figures appeared nearby.

Qin Yichen swept his gaze over them, and his brows immediately furrowed. [So, the disturbance here has been noticed by the others.]

“It’s her?” These Martial Kings, upon swooping in, did not notice Qin Yichen standing below, but instead cast their gazes toward the beautiful figure in mid-air – in front of the stone monument. She was naturally eye-catching, along with her Fire Phoenix Martial Soul.

Upon seeing that figure, many eyes flashed with intense wariness.

After all, it was rare for Qiu Jizhuo, a Core Disciple of the Northern Depths Sect, to suffer a setback. Yet, he had been embarrassed by this woman with little ability to resist.

This also led many to mark her as someone not to be provoked.

However, the wariness in their eyes was quickly overtaken by greed.

What did it matter if she could defeat Qiu Jizhuo? Once they obtained the ancient inheritance, who would still fear her!?

Thinking of this, the more than ten Martial Kings exchanged glances and nodded with remarkable tacit understanding, then moved and flew towards Lan Xinyu.

“Those fools!” Looking at these more than ten Martial Kings dominated by greed, Qin Yichen could not help but twitch. [To think these fools believe there is an inheritance here just because they have collected a few treasures!]

*Whoosh!* At this moment, Qin Yichen noticed that behind them, Yi Jian and the others had also appeared, but just as they were about to approach, their bodies seemed to tremble.

“Retreat, quickly!” Then, a loud shout rang out, and they violently retreated as if they had seen the most terrifying thing. They had disappeared from Qin Yichen’s sight within a few breaths.

[Wait. Just now, they seemed to be controlled by something?] Qin Yichen frowned, then suddenly looked up and saw that black energy was surging around each of the more than ten Martial Kings.

Qin Yichen’s pupils contracted. It seemed that this overflowing black energy also had the effect of eroding one’s mind. Fortunately, he had not been contaminated by them.

At this moment, Lan Xinyu, who was already struggling to support herself, saw more than ten Martial Kings with eyes dominated by greed flying towards her. Her eyes, which were like coloured glaze, appeared a trace of anger and helplessness.

Qin Yichen’s expression also became somewhat solemn. If these Martial Kings were allowed to interfere, Lan Xinyu’s mission would surely fail, and that evil being currently being suppressed by the Eight Directional Fire Sealing Array would certainly break through the seal and descend upon this region.

At that time, even ants could predict that this region would turn into a river of blood!

[Seems like I have to go all out!] Qin Yichen gritted his teeth. His mind moved, and the Taotie Martial Soul suddenly appeared. Then, with a flash, he appeared at Lan Xinyu’s side.

“You?” Noticing that Qin Yichen had suddenly appeared beside her, Lan Xinyu was somewhat surprised. Then, her delicate body suddenly tensed up, clearly ready to deliver a fatal blow if Qin Yichen made any suspicious moves!

“Just focus on reinforcing the seal, leave the rest to me!” Seeing as Lan Xinyu was on guard, a solemn yet determined voice reached her ears.

“Kill them, and the inheritance will be ours!” Seeing that another young man had appeared, the more than ten Martial Kings paid no heed to what was happening to them. Even when facing the fierce Taotie Martial Soul, there was not a hint of fear in their eyes, because at this moment, they truly had no rationality left!

“Eleven Early Stage Martial Kings, one Mid Stage Martial King… looks like I have my work cut out for me!” Qin Yichen’s gaze quickly swept over the approaching crowd, and his expression immediately became even more grave.

*Boom!* More than ten powerful attacks suddenly roared out from the hands of the more than ten Martial Kings, blasting towards Qin Yichen and Lan Xinyu behind him.

These attacks showed no mercy at all. Within just two breaths, they had already whistled to the front of Qin Yichen, and then, with a huge explosion, Qin Yichen’s figure was engulfed by these powerful attacks.
