Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 2230: Chapter 2274: Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill

The red side represented suppression!

Countless blood-red chains shot toward the Soul Long Saber that the Tongyuan Realm Master had transformed into. The two forces clashed in midair. Several blood-red chains snapped one after another, as fragile as wet clay. The remaining chains let out overwhelmed CRACK sounds, shattering in rapid succession. Suppressing the myriad chains, the long saber hurtled swiftly toward the trio.

Two experts of the Three Calamities Realm, combined with a massive mutated soul—even with the Hell Soul Bell activated under such conditions, they still couldn’t match the Tongyuan Realm Master?

Fortunately, Jiang Fan’s Soul Suppressing Tower was continuously supplying Soul Power to the Hell Soul Bell. The red chains steadily grew stronger, and their breaking trend gradually slowed.

By the time the red chains fully stabilized, the long saber was only a hundred rods away from them. The terrifying Soul Power caused fine cracks to appear on Jiang Fan’s soul. If the blade advanced even a little further, his soul would shatter on the spot, long before the saber could even cleave through his physical body.

The long saber formed by the Tongyuan Realm Master let out a furious, humiliated voice, ”Ant, you have a death wish!”

Jiang Fan replied with a cold expression, ”The one who deserves to die is you! Retract!”

SWISH!

A cluster of red chains immediately wrapped around the Soul Long Saber, dragging it toward the Hell Soul Bell. Du Xiyuan and the Myriad Phenomena Great Sage’s hearts pounded violently. Could it be that Jiang Fan was actually going to suppress a Saint Realm Remnant Soul?

Under their tense gazes, the long saber formed by the Tongyuan Realm Master struggled, but it was irresistibly yanked toward the Hell Soul Bell. As more and more of the mutated soul was channeled into the bell, the dragging speed increased.

Three breaths later.

The Tongyuan Realm Master could no longer struggle. With a sharp WHOOSH, he was rapidly pulled toward the Hell Soul Bell. Watching this scene, Du Xiyuan and the Wanxiang Sage didn’t even dare to breathe.

He was actually going to succeed!

However, just as the long saber was about to reach the Hell Soul Bell, an unexpected SNAP rang out. Shockingly, a red chain had broken—or rather, entire clusters of red chains were snapping! The long saber formed by the Tongyuan Realm Master had expanded at some unknown point! This meant his Soul Power had temporarily grown stronger!

A chilling voice erupted from the long saber, ”Ant, you know nothing about the Saint Realm!”

It turned out he had feigned being overpowered by the chains’ drag force to catch Jiang Fan and the other two off guard!

”Die, all of you!”

The long saber erupted with a soul-shaking, terrifying might! At such close range, let alone Jiang Fan, even Du Xiyuan and the Myriad Phenomena Great Sage had absolutely no chance to escape.

Du Xiyuan looked at Jiang Fan’s back in front of her and sighed inwardly, ”I told you not to throw your life away.”

The Myriad Phenomena Great Sage merely smiled bitterly and said, ”Divinity Transformation against the Saint Realm is simply too much to ask in the end.”

Jiang Fan, however, remained as calm as ever and snorted, ”A mere Remnant Soul shouldn’t call itself a Saint!”

A crystal-clear Taichu Seed suddenly appeared in his mouth. Inside it was the small silhouette of the No Regrets Great Sage. Jiang Fan gritted his teeth and crushed the seed he had hidden in his mouth all along.

A massive Power of Time flooded the world like a tidal wave. The heaven and earth within a ten-thousand-mile radius fell into utter stillness. The first to be affected were Du Xiyuan and the Wanxiang Sage. The two instantly sensed the time-freezing power.

Du Xiyuan exclaimed, ”Time...”

The Myriad Phenomena Great Sage widened her almond eyes, opening her mouth to speak. But as the time-freezing power swept over them, they were completely frozen in place.

Next, it swept over the Tongyuan Realm Master in front of them.

He said in shock, ”Time freeze... you played me...”

Only then did he realize that Jiang Fan had long anticipated he would play along and use this exact trick. So, Jiang Fan had beaten him at his own game, bringing out a supreme treasure capable of freezing time that no one could have ever expected! He only had time for this realization before falling into a frozen state.

For a Saint Realm Remnant Soul, a time freeze initiated by a Three Calamities Realm entity was only enough to restrain it for a split second. But that brief moment was enough to plunge it into the abyss of eternal damnation!

WHOOSH!

In an instant, the tip of the long saber was dragged into the Hell Soul Bell. If it could be pulled in completely, they would successfully imprison a Saint Realm Remnant Soul.

However, the moment the blade tip entered the bell, it seemed to activate something inside the Tongyuan Realm Master’s body! An invisible, profound fluctuation resonated out from within him, shattering the surrounding time freeze to pieces.

The Tongyuan Realm Master instantly regained his senses, realizing that half of his body had already entered the Hell Soul Bell and was being rapidly dragged further in. Greatly horrified, he didn’t have time to think. With extreme decisiveness, he severed the portion of his soul that was submerged in the Hell Soul Bell, cutting off a limb to save his life!

”AARGH!!”

The Tongyuan Realm Master let out a roar of agony. Missing its tip, the soul body rapidly retreated. Not long after, he reformed into the white-clad youth. His form was nowhere near as solid as it had been initially, becoming vaguely transparent. It was evident how severely his soul had been damaged just now.

Jiang Fan slapped his thigh!

He had even used up his time-freezing Taichu Seed, yet the attempt had actually failed! However, when he noticed that a third of the Tongyuan Realm Master’s soul was now trapped inside the Hell Soul Bell, he was overjoyed. This amount of Soul Power was more than double what had just been consumed. It was perfect—he could sacrifice this portion of the soul to thoroughly capture the rest of the Tongyuan Realm Master!

He decisively shook the bell, preparing to activate it once again.

The Tongyuan Realm Master was furious beyond measure. ”Enough of this!”

He opened his mouth and spat out a vibrant, lifelike peacock. However, it didn’t emit the fluctuations of a living creature, but rather the rich, unmistakable fragrance of a Spirit Pill.

This was actually an Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill! And it was a Mid-grade Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill, at that!

Behind him, the Myriad Phenomena Great Sage drew in a sharp breath and said, ”A Source Soul Heaven Pill from the era of the Daqian Divine Kingdom! This is something only an Eight-star Soul Master could refine!”

Jiang Fan’s expression changed. The mystery was solved! The reason the Tongyuan Realm Master’s Remnant Soul had recovered so quickly was that he had obtained a complete Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill! An Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill was a Heaven and Earth Great Pill inherently used by Saints. What’s more, this pill was Mid-grade among Heavenly Pills! It wasn’t impossible for it to possess such heaven-defying abilities!

However, there were two layers of Sealing on the peacock’s wings. They were likely restrictions cast by the Tongyuan Realm Master to control it.

”You are all dead!” The Tongyuan Realm Master stared coldly at Jiang Fan and shouted, ”Kill them!”

The colorful peacock raised its neck, looking apathetically at Jiang Fan and the others. The tail behind its back quickly fanned out, revealing an array of beautiful, large and small circular patterns. Destructive beams of Soul Power flickered within the rings.

Jiang Fan gasped. An Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill could actually be used as a Magic Artifact to attack people? What alarmed him was that the soul beams within were terrifyingly powerful, not the slightest bit weaker than the Tongyuan Realm Master’s peak state just moments ago. With so many soul beams firing simultaneously, a single Hell Soul Bell wouldn’t be able to block them at all!

In this critical moment, Jiang Fan noticed the two layers of Sealing on its wings. His eyes flashed, and he immediately chanted a Spell in his mind. A massive wave of Vast Energy surged from his body. This was the Vast Energy he had accumulated over more than twenty days; the amount was incredibly immense.

Executing the power of his words, he made a wish, ”Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill, regain your freedom!”
