Demon Soul Spirit-Breaking Pill
A sharp glint flashed in Xing Gaohan's eyes.
This is because next to the Wind-Thunder Golden-Eyed Beast, there is Pill Furnace that is more than half a zhang tall.
The Pill Furnace was also pressed under the stone pillar.
Xing Gaohan knew this from the many Jade Slip the Xing Family had previously obtained in secret realms.
The stone coffin in front of us is actually an Alchemy Chamber.
However, this Alchemy Chamber is extremely special; it specializes in refining only one type of pill— the Demon Soul Spirit-Breaking Pill.
This is a type of elixir that has been lost in the current Cultivation World. This elixir can help Nascent Soul Cultivator break through the bottleneck of minor cultivation realms.
Xing Gaohan and Xing Wenyao went to great lengths to get here, all for this elixir.
From the information obtained from the numerous Jade Slip, the two could only roughly determine that the stone coffin contained Demon Soul Spirit-Breaking Pill, but the exact quantity remained unknown.
If there were two or more, everyone would be happy. Xing Gaohan is already at the Nascent Soul Late Stage and can only consume one Demon Soul Spirit-Breaking Pill. Therefore, Xing Wenyao will get at least one.
However, if there is only one Demon Soul Spirit-Breaking Pill, then Xing Wenyao will probably miss out on this elixir.
The Demon Soul Spirit-Breaking Pill uses the soul of a Fourth-Tier Peak Stage Demon Beast as its main ingredient, and it seizes the soul of the Demon Beast while it is still alive.
The four chains inside the stone coffin were meant to imprison the Demon Beast's cultivation.
That stone pillar was used to supply the Corpse-Baleful Qi.
Back then, the Nether God Temple used Secret Method to activate the Corpse-Baleful Qi and forcibly expel the soul from the body of the Demon Beast.
Xing Gaohan raised his hand and shot out a burst of Law Power, attempting to retrieve the Pill Furnace hidden beneath the stone pillar.
However, a strong Corpse-Baleful Qi suddenly surged from the bottom of the stone pillar Corpse-Baleful Qi into a python and swallowed the Law Power in one gulp.
Then, the demonic python suddenly broke free from the stone pillar and charged straight at Xing Gaohan's face.
Xing Gaohan retreated swiftly, simultaneously unleashing a burst of lightning from his hand.
"Boom!"
Lightning flashed!
The evil python suddenly collapsed!
Xing Gaohan flicked his fingers repeatedly, unleashing more than ten streams of Law Power.
However, a large amount of Corpse-Baleful Qi surged from the stone pillar, transforming into a series of evil pythons that shattered all the Law Power.
Xing Gaohan suddenly felt that things were getting a bit tricky.
The Sha Qi emanating from the stone pillar was not strong; any Nascent Soul Realm cultivator could easily withstand it.
However, Xing Gaohan was hesitant to act rashly, fearing that forcibly removing the Pill Furnace would damage the elixirs inside.
Just as Xing Gaohan was staring at the stone pillar, pondering how to break the deadlock, he suddenly heard Xing Wenyao shout behind him.
"Careful!"
Suddenly, a seven-foot-long spear came hurtling through the air.
The spear, its power restrained, resembled a lurking venomous snake, aiming straight for Xing Gaohan's back.
The spear was entirely black, gleaming with a cold, eerie light.
A cold glint flashed at the tip of the spear, its sharpness unstoppable.
As Xing Wenyao warned Xing Gaohan, a green wooden ruler suddenly appeared in front of him.
The wooden ruler was about an inch long and emitted a faint green light.
With a gentle turn of the wooden ruler, a beam of green light shot out.
The green light, like a graceful ribbon, met the long spear that was hurtling through the air.
The spear's cold gleam struck the green ribbon with a deafening thud.
The green ribbon immediately disintegrated, but it also blocked the spear for a moment.
In that instant, Xing Gaohan had already reacted.
He turned around instantly, and a feather fan appeared in his hand.
The feather fan was entirely fiery red, like a burning flame.
Xing Gaohan waved his feather fan, drawing a fiery red trail in the air.
The trajectory transformed into a fiery serpent, no more than ten feet long, yet radiating astonishing heat. Under the scorching heat of the serpent, even the surrounding space became distorted.
The fiery serpent shot out like an arrow, hurtling straight at the spear.
Just as the spear was about to pierce the fire serpent, the serpent suddenly coiled its body and wrapped itself around the spear.
The gun barrel turned bright red instantly under the intense heat, as if it were about to melt.
The spear's power was greatly diminished by the fiery serpent's entanglement.
Just then, a trident ten feet long shot towards them.
The trident pierced the air, seemingly accompanied by waves, and the sound of surging waves could be faintly heard.
The trident skimmed past the spear. Illusory waves appeared, like real ocean waves, sweeping towards the fire serpent.
The fire snake instantly weakened and then gradually died out.
The spear, freed from its restraints, regained its power and, together with the trident, thrust straight at Xing Gaohan's chest.
"Wind-type Demon Power and water-type Demon Power!" Xing Gaohan was shocked.
He suddenly remembered Yinshuo's earlier warning: two Demon Race were hiding in the secret realm.
"It's Wind Eagle and Yuan Hao!"
The thought flashed through Xing Gaohan's mind in an instant.
His hands moved swiftly, and he waved the fiery red feather fan once more.
A fire dragon over ten feet long roared out.
The fire dragon was extremely solid, with every single scale on its body clearly visible.
Neither this fire dragon nor that fire serpent from before were clearly ordinary fire.
As soon as it appeared, the temperature inside the cave began to rise sharply.
The fire dragon surged forth, heading straight for the spear and trident.
The spear and trident lost much of their power instantly under the impact of the fire dragon.
While Xing Gaohan battle with the two demons, Xing Wenyao was not idle either.
The wooden ruler in his hand emitted a bright green light, and two thick vines rapidly grew from the green light.
The vines are covered with lush, green leaves, exuding vitality.
The vines meandered like two strange, ever-extending snakes, rapidly stretching into the depths of the cave.
"Bang, bang."
After two loud bangs, the cave hall shook, rocks crumbled and fell, and vines shattered.
Yuan Hao Wind Eagle's figures were also revealed.
Both demons had now reverted to their true Demon Race forms.
Yuan Hao transformed into a two-zhang-tall Tidal Demon.
The Wind Eagle also transformed into a ferocious bird with a wingspan of ten zhang.
Upon seeing this, Xing Gaohan instead showed a disdainful expression.
"Hmph! A water Demon Beast and a ferocious bird of prey, yet they insist on entering this underground cave filled with flowing lava. You two fools, you're courting death."
Having seen the enemy's true form, Xing Gaohan no longer held back.
The feather fan in his hand flew into the air, and flames rose up.
In the blink of an eye, the feather fan transformed into a fire phoenix several meters long.
The fire phoenix let out a deafening cry, spread its wings, and suddenly opened its mouth to spew out a blazing pillar of fire.
Wherever the pillar of fire passed, flames rose, and half of the cave was instantly engulfed in a sea of fire.
Yuan Hao coldly watched the sea of fire rushing towards him, his hand tightly gripping the trident he had just recalled.
The trident slammed into the ground with a fierce thrust.
Instantly, a chilling aura emanated from the tip of the halberd. This aura seemed to come from the extreme cold of the deep sea, carrying a chilling and unsettling quality.
"Profound Yin Heavy Water!" Yuan Hao uttered softly, his voice low yet containing an indescribable power.
Streams of deep blue water gushed from the trident, quickly converging into a body of water over a hundred feet wide.
The blue water exuded a strong chill, like blue mercury, with a faint metallic sheen, giving people a heavy and oppressive feeling.
The Profound Yin Heavy Water surged up, forming a wave ten feet high.
Yuan Hao stood atop the waves.
As the waves surged, Yuan Hao moved with them, heading towards the sea of fire rushing towards him.
