The Alchemist Realm's Sorrow, Stepping Forward!
"This Li Wu Zai is merely an incarnation of an external avatar."
Liu Miaomiao's eyes flickered; she had seen through Li Wu Zai's constitution at a glance when he self-destructed.
Upon hearing this, Old Long nodded in agreement, already understanding in his heart that Li Wu Zai was not lying about one thing: he came from the Sky Beyond the Sky, and only the Sky Beyond the Sky could possess such heaven-defying abilities.
Who could it be? Which force is the mastermind behind this? It's very likely that they're after the Azure Cloud Sect, and that sycophant Danzi is just a part of the plan.
Could it be the Murong Ancient Clan? They certainly have that capability.
"Elder Liu, how do we break this deadlock? Li Wu Zai left behind this thorny problem after his self-destruction."
Upon hearing this, Liu Miaomiao also frowned. The Immortal Forging Heavenly Net Array that Heaven Sealing Earth Severing was no simple matter.
Although he could forcibly break it using the Ultimate Immortal Deity Artifact Heaven Refining Immortal Furnace, the Gang Qi within the great formation would explode at the same time, its power enough to wipe out most of the remaining alchemists on Penglai Immortal Island.
Then Azure Cloud Sect would have come to the Pill Refining Conference for nothing, right? How can they "invite" them to the Azure Cloud Sect as guests now?
For a time, there was no perfect solution...
However, if there is still no way to break the formation, we will have to break it by force. Although the killing Gang Qi in the formation will not affect us at all, we will be trapped in the formation and unable to escape.
"Ah! This damned Gang Qi! Someone, save me! Seniors from the Azure Cloud Sect and Dange, please help me!"
"Please, Lord of the Heavenly Waters Tianmiao, lend a helping hand! I am willing to submit to the Immortal Sect!"
On Penglai Immortal Island, countless Great Emperor cultivators, who were on the verge of being overwhelmed by the Gang Qi, hurriedly cried out for help.
The Immortal Forging Heavenly Net Array is of an extremely high level. Cultivators below the Immortal Venerable Realm will be refined instantly without strong protection, and even Immortal Venerable Realm cultivators cannot withstand it for long.
Seeing this, both Azure Cloud Sect and God Abyss Pill Pavilion took action, and since they had no other choice but to protect them as quickly as possible.
With a thought, Liu Miaomiao conjured up the Azure Cloud Immortal Ship, which then grew larger and larger. "Rouge, you all get on the ship first, and you are not allowed to come out before the Heavenly Dipper Grand Array closes."
The Azure Cloud Immortal City has evolved into Quasi Immortal Emperor level Immortal Treasure, completely unafraid of the Gang Qi within the great formation.
"Yes, Master," Li Yanzhi replied without the slightest delay. She quickly called her ten junior brothers and sisters, along with the ten Pill Refining Elders were assisting her, to board the ship.
As she boarded the ship, she caught a glimpse of the Pill Refining Furnace beside her. It was the furnace she had used during the competition, and inside were still unfinished All Beings.
Why do I feel like the pill inside is undergoing some subtle changes? Is it a sign that it's about to be completed?
There's no time to worry about that now; we can only check back after everything is over.
Now, only Liu Miaomiao remains on the Azure Cloud Sect's side Old Long, Mo Wen, and Yao Ye are left outside. With their cultivation levels, the Gang Qi within the formation is no match for them.
Upon receiving the signal, the cultivators closest to the location quickly flew towards the Immortal Ship.
They were all deeply grateful for the protection they received, and each of them vowed to repay the Immortal Sect once they were released.
The God Abyss Pill Pavilion was also in complete chaos. They had defensive immortal treasures, but they were undoubtedly a drop in the ocean for the countless pill masters who were seeking protection.
"What should we do, Old Pavilion Master? If this continues, we won't be able to hold out for much longer."
"Yes, just now on the other side, all the thousand eight-star alchemists certified by our Pill Pavilion..."
"Alas, it's all that damned Li Wu Zai! He's infuriating! I've known him for so many years and yet I never saw through this heartless traitor!"
Actually, this is not the elder's fault. Li Wu Zai entered the Pill Pavilion tens of millions of years ago.
For tens of millions of years, he has been doing his best for the Pill Pavilion. Who would have thought he was this kind of person!
No, he originally came from Sky Beyond the Sky. Could it be that he planned this tens of millions of years ago, and even got involved himself? That would be terrifying!
Compared to everyone's anxiety, the Old Pavilion Master Shangguan Chongchi, unexpectedly calmed down.
"From now on, we must be more discerning when recruiting people. Whether they are elders or disciples, they must undergo rigorous tests before they can join the cabinet."
"Although today's calamity was not caused by our Pill Pavilion, we cannot escape responsibility. After you leave, you must do your best to repair this damaged Alchemist Realm and do your utmost to help the alchemists affected. Do you all understand?"
The Old Pavilion Master gave his instructions in an unquestionable tone, yet remained remarkably calm.
"I will obey the Old Pavilion Master's orders."
The elders of the Pill Pavilion all bowed, but one of them quickly realized the meaning behind the Old Pavilion Master's words, "Old Pavilion Master, why is it that after we go out, shouldn't we all go out together?"
"Old Pavilion Master, are you perhaps...!"
Before the elder could finish speaking, the calm Old Pavilion Master leaped up and rushed straight to the top of the great formation that sealed the sky. He also activated his cultivation to its peak, and a majestic aura was revealed!
"Hahaha! I, Shangguan Chongchi, have cultivated for over 37.86 million years. My only regret is not having met a worthy opponent sooner. I have no other regrets."
"Now, my fellow Alchemist Realm are in dire straits, their Heaven Sealing Earth Severing, slaughtered by the Gang Qi, with no way to escape or ascend to heaven. Seeing this, I am heartbroken and weep blood, only regretting that my strength is insufficient to protect all living beings."
"I have been unable to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm for so long; perhaps this is my destiny."
"Since my lifespan is coming to an end, let me use this broken Emperor Body to exert my final influence in the last moments of my life!"
After saying this, Old Pavilion Master drew out all the Chaos Divine Power in his body, and a lifelike fairy leaf about to bloom appeared in his hand.
This is the Immortal Emperor Leaf. Half a step is the leaf, and when it blooms, it becomes the Immortal Emperor Flower, which is also the time to break through to the Immortal Emperor. It's just that I will never have the chance to see the flower bloom again.
Enveloped in the power of the Chaos Divine Power Immortal Emperor Leaf absorbed the Heavenly Gang Power within the great formation, causing the Heavenly Dipper Grand Array, powerful enough to Heaven Sealing Earth Severing and destroy the earth, to gradually shatter.
Along with it, the Old Pavilion Master's Emperor Body shattered, and as the Immortal Emperor Leaf was peeled off, he gradually dissipated with the wind.
"Old Pavilion Master, please don't! We'd rather die than have you die in our place!"
"Stop right now, Old Pavilion Master! How could we possibly deserve your life to clear the way for us!"
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. The elders and disciples of the God Abyss Pill Pavilion who witnessed this scene were stunned and hurriedly shouted to try to stop the Old Pavilion Master's actions.
The countless alchemists on Penglai Immortal Island who heard what the Old Pavilion Master said and did were all shocked by what he said and did!
In the final moments of his life, he stepped forward with his broken Emperor Body to exert his final influence!
Is this the grand vision of a legendary figure? At this very moment, the Old Pavilion Master is the greatest hero in this world!
