The Old Pavilion Master's Fall (Thanks to the boss for the Divine Certification)
"No! Daoist Shangguan, stop immediately!"
Realizing what was happening, Liu Miaomiao quickly spoke up to stop her.
But it was all too late! The Old Pavilion Master's Emperor Body had already completely dissipated.
His Immortal Emperor Leaf had absorbed all the Killing Aura in the great formation.
With a deafening roar, the Immortal Forging Heavenly Net Array of the Heaven Sealing Earth Severing was completely shattered!
The Old Pavilion Master's figure also completely disappeared into the world.
Only a dashing voice echoed in the void, "Hahaha! I'm off! Fellow Daoist Liu, please bolster my Alchemist Realm!"
"Old Pavilion Master! Old Pavilion Master!" The alchemists of the God Abyss Pill Pavilion were all in tears, wailing and breaking down in grief!
The Old Pavilion Master often said that this Pill Conference was the last Pill Conference he would ever see.
Who would have thought that this prophecy would come true? You never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first...
"We respectfully bid farewell to the Old Pavilion Master," the alchemists sheltered in the Immortal Ship and treasures all spontaneously stepped forward.
At this moment, all the remaining alchemists on Penglai Immortal Island bowed to the sky and loudly bid farewell to the Old Pavilion Master.
This marks the end of an era, the farewell of a legend.
"Alas, why do this? Daoist Shangguan," Liu Miaomiao sighed.
An old friend I had only known for a short time but felt an instant connection with had passed away, and I hadn't even invited him to my home in the Azure Cloud Sect.
If it weren't for the Old Pavilion Master stepping forward, countless alchemists would have been refined.
If the great formation were forcibly broken, countless alchemists would perish in the explosion of the Gang Qi.
This is all out of helplessness; it's an unsolvable dead end.
If given the choice, he would rather forcefully break the formation than fail to save the Old Pavilion Master's life, and he wouldn't care about matters of righteousness or not.
After their grief subsided, the two Ten-Star Pill Refining Elders of the God Abyss Pill Pavilion exchanged a glance, then led the remaining elders of the Pill Pavilion toward them.
"Senior Liu, our God Abyss Pill Pavilion is willing to submit to the Immortal Sect. We humbly request Senior Liu to strengthen our Alchemist Realm."
The Grand Elder bowed in unison, saying that this was the last order the Old Pavilion Master gave them before he left.
After this ordeal, both their own alchemy pavilion and the Alchemist Realm suffered heavy losses. If they want to regain their former glory, they must have a top-notch alchemist to lead them.
The Lord of the Heavenly Waters of the Azure Cloud Immortal Sect is the perfect candidate, and she is also the only God-Tier Great Perfection Alchemist in the Upper Three Dao Domains.
"We humbly request Senior Liu to strengthen our Alchemist Realm! We will follow you with all our might."
The numerous alchemists who had gathered here also bowed in unison.
Throughout the entire scene, the thick blood mist lingered, and everywhere were horrifying remains of limbs severed by the Gang Qi.
Some of these alchemists were missing arms or legs; some were renowned alchemists with weathered faces, while others were still shaken and in disarray from shock.
The only thing they had in common was the unwavering determination in their eyes when they said those words.
To this, Liu Miaomiao really wanted to say, "You guys... you've really ruined my life! You've really ruined my life!"
"Rest assured, everyone. I hereby promise that as long as you submit to my Azure Cloud Sect, I and my Azure Cloud Immortal Sect will lead you to rebuild the Alchemist Realm and restore the glory of the golden age of alchemy!"
"Furthermore, I guarantee that today's matter will not be dealt with hastily. In the future, I will avenge Old Pavilion Master Shangguan and the countless alchemists who perished in this calamity, regardless of the cultivation level or background of the person behind it."
"Whether it's the Sky Beyond the Sky or the Supreme Immortal Emperor, my Azure Cloud Sect has never been afraid."
Liu Miaomiao's clear and resonant voice echoed throughout the entire Penglai Immortal Island, and all the alchemists who heard her words were excited and their blood boiled.
Whether it's "Sky Beyond the Sky" or "Supreme Immortal Emperor," what magnificent words they are!
This is a promise made by a Quasi Immortal Emperor! And everyone believes that Azure Cloud Sect has the strength to keep it up. Don't you see how Azure Cloud Immortal Sect recently fought against the Murong Ancient Clan?
"Willow God, the casualty statistics are in."
A short while later, the host of the competition God Lord Zi Yan from Penglai Immortal Island, walked over with a heavy expression.
As Supreme God Lord Realm, she had witnessed countless mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the Immortal Realm, but none of them had made her feel as heavy as she did today.
It should be noted that all those who perished today were alchemists! This is a tragedy unprecedented in the history of the Heavenly Universe Immortal Realm for nearly several eras.
"In the final round of the third round, the alchemists' furnaces exploded simultaneously. Among them, 320,000 alchemists were protected by high-level protective magic treasures and escaped disaster, while 7.43 million alchemists in the audience were affected and unfortunately perished."
"In the Heaven-Sealing Earth-Severing Immortal Refining Array, 12.65 million alchemists were killed, most of whom were four to six-star alchemists, and the number of the injured was countless."
These exact figures all speak volumes about the horror of this disaster.
What was once the most dazzling event in the Alchemist Realm has now become the burial ground for tens of millions of alchemists. Alas!
"Willow God, how should this Pill Conference gathering be concluded?"
Faced with this situation, even the God Lord Zi Yan was at a loss. It was clear that they couldn't continue, but it would be inappropriate to just end it like this.
After considering for a moment, Liu Miaomiao said, "Distribute the prepared rewards to the seriously injured alchemists. Azure Cloud Sect will handle the alchemists who perished in the conference properly."
I have already reported this matter to the sect leader, and he told me to make the arrangements myself.
Some resources will be allocated to compensate the family of the fallen alchemist.
This was nothing to the Azure Cloud Sect, after all, he had recently acquired the entire foundation of the Saint Li Dynasty.
Spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones to show the Alchemist Realm and the general public is entirely beneficial to one's own sect.
"As for Pill Conference announcing the suspension first, the start time will be decided by my lord, and it certainly won't be too late."
Upon hearing this, the God Lord Zi Yan nodded. "Good."
Just as the two were talking, a magnificent phenomenon appeared in the sky not far away!
A crimson blood moon and a crimson blood sun appeared simultaneously, and a dazzling red light shot straight into the sky!
Countless alchemists were once again alarmed! Their nerves had already been provoked far too much today.
Fortunately, alchemists generally possess more robust spiritual power than cultivators; otherwise, something terrible might have happened...
"Master, that's the Pill Refining Furnace I used for the competition. It looks like the pill has been successfully made!"
Li Yanzhi looked closely and saw that the source of the strange phenomenon was her own Pill Refining Furnace. Why did such a big commotion occur when it was just making pills?
"Hmm? Disciple, what kind of pill did you refine during the finals?" Liu Miaomiao was also very surprised. No matter what kind of pill her disciple refined, the grade of the pill was there, it was nothing more than a Celestial King grade pill.
"Reporting to Master, the pill I refined is a Celestial King-level elixir that I created myself, which I call 'All Beings' (meaning 'All Living Beings')."
"It is a new pill made by combining the essence of more than a thousand kinds of medicinal materials and removing the dross of each one."
P. S.: Thank you so much, lung~Anna, for the amazing certification!
