Chapter 1434: Chapter 1433: [The Scoundrel Ditches Us Again!]

Ye Tianchen returned after being poisoned by various toxins. As he informed Old Feng and the God Beating Bowl that even if he died, they must continue tempering his body, he collapsed to the ground and truly died, ceasing to breathe.

Old Feng and the God Beating Bowl had no other options but to follow Ye Tianchen’s words. Even knowing it wouldn’t have any effect, they treated it as Ye Tianchen’s final wish, soaking him in the Black Tripod, burning the Tripod with million-year-old Black Wood, making it quickly boil. Fortunately, all the poisonous ingredients listed on the formula were gathered, except for the Life-ending Intestine-breaking Herb.

At this moment, Taishi Dingtian and the God Beating Bowl guarded the Black Tripod, anxiously waiting for Old Feng to return. However, after over two hours, Old Feng was still nowhere to be seen, while the Black Tripod had already boiled. Ye Tianchen sat cross-legged inside, surrounded by floating poisons. The entire Tripod was filled with toxins, whether liquid or gas, constantly bursting out. Fortunately, the God Beating Bowl, an expert in runes and formations, exerted divine skills to create a powerful formation around the Tripod, preventing the spread of toxins. Otherwise, the entire Taishi Village would have struggled to survive!

”That crazy old man isn’t back yet, and there’s less than five hours before the Jade Door closes. Do we still have a chance to leave? Are we really going to be trapped here, waiting to die?” The God Beating Bowl anxiously said, looking at the sky.

Bam!

Taishi Dingtian punched the God Beating Bowl’s head again, sternly saying, ”I’ll say this one last time, Grandpa risked his life to get the Life-ending Intestine-breaking Herb. If you dare say one more word, I’ll stew you in the Black Tripod too!”

”Hey, are you addicted to hitting me? If not for seeing you as a kid, I’d smash your head till it swells!” The God Beating Bowl spoke angrily.

”Then let’s compete to see who’s stronger. If you lose, shut up obediently!” Taishi Dingtian said, displeased.

”Come on, let me show you the power of the God-beating Stone. Even your grandpa, the crazy old man, can’t beat me!” The God Beating Bowl said confidently.

Bam!

Taishi Dingtian punched the God Beating Bowl again, moving swiftly. The God Beating Bowl sneered coldly; if it couldn’t handle this kid, could it still claim to be the world’s top God-beating Stone? Without delay, it transformed into a beam of light, crashing towards Taishi Dingtian.

As the God Beating Bowl struck Taishi Dingtian, the kid was genuinely amazed. He found the God Beating Bowl truly miraculous; it could bypass any impenetrable obstacle and still hit you, indeed, invincible even to immortals!

”Kid, let me teach you about respecting elders!” The God Beating Bowl chuckled mischievously.

Buzz!

Unexpectedly, as the God Beating Bowl aimed to smash Taishi Dingtian’s head, preparing to make him bleed, runes suddenly appeared, trapping the God Beating Bowl. In Taishi Dingtian’s left hand was a Bone Stick, a treasure used against Female Sword Sect’s powerful female fairies. This treasure was exceptionally rare, and the God Beating Bowl had mentioned to Ye Tianchen upon first sight that this Bone Stick was no ordinary treasure—acquiring and studying it would be ideal!

”Hmph, now I’ll throw you into the Black Tripod to stew!” Taishi Dingtian coldly snorted.

Taishi Dingtian reached for the God Beating Bowl with his right hand, but the God Beating Bowl resisted, charging forward fiercely, trying to break through the runes the Bone Stick manifested, intent on snapping it. There was a sense of desperation between them!

”Stop!”

Boom!

With a loud shout followed by a deafening bang, both Taishi Dingtian and the God Beating Bowl were sent flying, startled, as Old Feng returned, holding an unremarkable herb in his right hand, likely the Life-ending Intestine-breaking Herb. What shocked Taishi Dingtian and the God Beating Bowl was the gaping hole in Old Feng’s chest, terrifyingly deep, nearly penetrating his back.

”Grandpa...” Taishi Dingtian hurriedly rushed over, looking at the hole in Old Feng’s chest, worriedly shouted.

”It’s nothing, just a minor injury. Quickly put the Life-ending Intestine-breaking Herb into the tripod, and then I will cover the tripod!” Old Feng said solemnly.

Taishi Dingtian did not hesitate. This was something his grandfather had risked his life to retrieve. Perhaps others didn’t understand how perilous it was to obtain the Life-ending Intestine-breaking Herb, but Taishi Dingtian knew well. To acquire the herb from such a place, even the slightest mistake could lead to total annihilation. His grandfather had taken a tremendous risk to help Ye Tianchen!

The Life-ending Intestine-breaking Herb was placed into the Black Tripod. Old Feng, Taishi Dingtian, and the God Beating Bowl all stepped back, watching as Old Feng did not begin healing himself but instead continuously used Sealing Skills, applying formidable Divine Skills to lift the lid of the Black Tripod, allowing it to float into the air before covering it downwards.

Boom!

A shocking scene unfolded. As Old Feng urged his Martial Arts True Power to control the lid of the Black Tripod, trying to seal it, the entire world seemed to tremble, as if weathering a storm. It was a breathtaking sight, and powerful energies surged from within the tripod, as if refusing to allow the lid to be closed!

”Help!” Old Feng glanced at Taishi Dingtian and the God Beating Bowl and said.

At this moment, no one dared to take it lightly; it was a critical moment. Taishi Dingtian and the God Beating Bowl quickly took action, unleashing their most formidable powers to strike at the tripod lid, assisting Old Feng in sealing it.

Bang!

Finally, the lid was closed, sealing the Black Tripod completely. Old Feng, Taishi Dingtian, and the God Beating Bowl collapsed to the ground, exhaling deeply. They hadn’t anticipated that closing the lid would be so difficult.

”Damn, it took us nearly an hour just to seal this lid. This broken tripod is quite impressive!” the God Beating Bowl couldn’t help but curse.

”I don’t know if Brother Ye can survive this ordeal...” Old Feng said worriedly.

”Grandfather, you should start healing yourself. From now on, we’ll just have to leave it to fate; we can’t do anything else!” Taishi Dingtian shook his head and said.

Old Feng nodded, then sat cross-legged in front of the Black Tripod. The entire tripod began to boil, emitting colorful vapors and even some liquids. Old Feng had already prepared a powerful formation to seal everything within, preventing potential devastation not only to Taishi Village but the entire world of the Jade Palace.

Deep into the night, the God Beating Bowl paced anxiously. There were less than three hours left until the Jade Door closed, and despite the Black Tripod being sealed, there was still no sign of Ye Tianchen. Initially, the tripod had been turbulent, thunderous, but now it was eerily silent, as if everything had come to a halt, signaling doom.

”Damn it, I can’t wait any longer. I’m leaving!” The God Beating Bowl seemed eager to depart from the world of the Jade Palace.

”You just say that? So ungrateful? Not waiting for Brother Ye?” Old Feng said irritably to the God Beating Bowl.

”Damn it, the kid is already dead. Putting him in the Black Tripod to temper was a last-ditch effort. So much time has passed, and the tripod has quieted down without a trace of movement. The kid’s definitely not going to make it. I can’t be buried with him; I still have many things to do. Goodbye, no, never see you again!” the God Beating Bowl said selfishly and darted away!

Old Feng sighed. He hadn’t expected things to turn out this way. He had hoped Ye Tianchen could take Taishi Dingtian out of the world of the Jade Palace. Now, it seemed impossible. He couldn’t let Taishi Dingtian follow this treacherous companion, as who knows when he might betray Dingtian!

The God Beating Bowl fled self-servingly, fearing being trapped in the Jade Palace world, unable to escape. Would Ye Tianchen manage to leave this world? Or has he already died, with no chance of survival?

”Brother Ye, I, Old Feng, wandered through life in a daze. I hoped to entrust Dingtian to you for personal reasons, but I also considered you a true friend. I didn’t expect things to turn out this way. I’m sorry!” Old Feng sighed and said.

Just then, inside the Black Tripod, a pair of eyes opened... (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
