Breaking the Deadlock (Part Two)

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman in the purple robe decisively raised her hand and ripped off the wide purple robe draped over her body. The robe swirled in mid-air before unfolding, revealing the ferocious giant python patterned on it.

The woman, having removed her purple robe, now revealed a voluptuous and shapely figure, but none of those present dared to harbor any desire for it.

The purple robe spread through the air like a dark cloud, covering half of the sky within the barrier. Then, the woman beckoned to the four giant pythons surrounding her with her jade hand. In the blink of an eye, the pythons transformed into four small snakes, which she grabbed in her hand. After frantically pouring her Origin Qi into them, she absorbed them all into the purple robe above her head.

Instantly, the purple robe rapidly expanded amidst a violent twisting and change, as if something within it was trying to break free. Finally, after tumbling and contorting in the air, the purple robe transformed into a gigantic Magical Beasts, tens of feet in size, with five snake heads.

As the bizarre giant python took shape, it let out a piercing hiss, then opened its blood-red maw and unleashed a terrifying suction force several times more powerful than the stone gate at the remaining Alchemist below.

Now, not only the Nascent Pill, but even the Alchemist's Medicine Cauldron began to shake violently and uncontrollably, swaying back and forth. Some even lifted off the ground, seemingly about to hurtle straight into the snake's gaping maw.

As a result, the few people on the field who had been hesitant and reserved about the masked man's proposal to join forces had no choice but to use all their methods. Talismans, Formation Plate, and the Power of the Great Dao were all unleashed on the field. The fat old man who had just swallowed the pill even summoned a huge, thick, red iron gate several meters high from the stone gate formed by the Power of the Great Dao and blocked it in front of him. The heavy Pressure immediately blocked the fierce suction force of the five giant pythons.

Just as the group was using their respective methods, the old man wearing a gray mask raised his hand and broke off a palm-sized piece from his mask. With a few strokes of his fingers, the piece was crushed into Powder in his palm.

The eyes beneath the mask swept silently over the purple-robed woman in mid-air, then across the surrounding Alchemist, noticing their utter struggle, a subtle glint flashing deep within them.

Just as he was about to look away, in the direction his gaze was directed, a pair of clear eyes were calmly looking at the masked old man, staring directly at him, a composed smile on his handsome face.

Above the Medicine Cauldron in front of them floated a small cyan tower, emitting bursts of fluorescent light that enveloped the person and the cauldron below. As if ignoring the suction force of the giant python, they remained motionless in place.

Upon seeing this, the masked man felt a chill. After a moment's hesitation, as if he had made up his mind, the gray Powder quietly merged into the surrounding airflow with a flick of his wrist. It flew upwards rapidly with the suction force of the giant python's breath, and under the masked man's control, it silently approached the snake's skull that was floating in mid-air next to the woman.

Seeing that several Yuan Zun experts had all used their best techniques, the woman in the sky naturally dared not be careless. Although she had come prepared, as a fellow Yuan Zun, she knew how terrifying a desperate counterattack from Yuan Zun expert could be.

Even though these people would still have some strength left because of the Nascent Pill, they couldn't be easily ignored when they attacked together, even if she was Eight-Star Yuan Zun. Moreover, she had already used several methods to seize the core, which had already consumed a lot of energy. If she delayed any longer, even if she succeeded in obtaining the Nascent Pill, her condition might not be much better than theirs.

After a brief moment of contemplation, a resolute look flashed across the woman's face. She then decisively twisted her body and appeared above the five giant pythons. She formed hand seals again, controlling all the remaining Snake Mound Yin Qi in the area, and began to inject it into the five giant pythons beneath her feet.

As the Snake Mound Yin Qi rapidly concentrated, the barrier enveloping the arena gradually changed from black to grayish-white once again.

This shows that the woman was truly serious this time.

"It seems this demoness intends to seize all the Nascent Pill in one fell swoop. The situation is dire!"

As the barrier turned gray, the people outside were finally able to see the situation inside. After realizing the extremely tense situation inside, Wu Changfu couldn't help but say with a gloomy expression.

"If absolutely necessary, even if it means withdrawing from the Pill Tower, we must never allow the people of the Beast Region to act arrogantly and domineeringly at our human race's Pill Gathering!"

Yuwen Zong frowned, his internal Origin Qi already mobilized, his eyes fixed intently on the situation within the gray-white barrier, ready to act decisively at the slightest change.

Inside the arena, the five giant pythons, having absorbed all the Snake Mound Yin Qi, now looked even more ferocious. The chilling power emanating from their bodies caused the surrounding space to distort, and the suction force emanating from their five large mouths was even stronger. Even Xu Qinghe, who had maintained his composure all along, couldn't help but change his expression.

"Clang!"

With a sudden, crisp sound, the Medicine Cauldron in front of the fat old man opened its lid uncontrollably, and a Nascent Pill emitting a glowing green light shot out from it. Just as the Nascent Pill left the Medicine Cauldron, the fat old man, his face extremely ugly, opened his mouth and, without hesitation, shot a stream of blood essence into the Medicine Cauldron. Immediately afterwards, flames rushed out of the Medicine Cauldron, transforming into two large fiery hands, tightly embracing the Nascent Pill was about to soar into the sky.

"Come back here!"

The fat old man rapidly formed hand seals, controlling his two fiery hands to snatch back the Nascent Pill and put it back into the Medicine Cauldron.

Above the giant python's head, the woman saw the fat old man struggling to hold on and let out a cold laugh, as if to shatter his last hope. Her delicate body landed on one of the five snake heads and then strangely and slowly merged into it. Almost at the same time, the five giant pythons let out a fierce roar, and the aura emanating from their bodies instantly became several times more terrifying.

"Clang clang clang!"

As a result, the Medicine Cauldron in front of the other Yuan Zun experts on the field also opened their lids uncontrollably, and several Nascent Pills, wrapped in shimmering light, shot into the sky. The others followed suit and tried to stop the Nascent Pill, but this time, all their methods were blocked by the Snake Mound Yin Qi spewed from the giant python's mouth. The Nascent Pill lost control one after another and shot towards the snake skull floating in the sky.

Seeing this, the woman, whose body was already half-submerged in the snake's head, finally curled up a smug smile.

"Damn it! Even at a time like this, you still aren't making a move!"

Seeing the Nascent Pill snatched away, the burly, red-faced man from the Fang family, who looked exactly like the three brothers on the platform, couldn't help but grit his teeth and shout angrily at the masked man.

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, the woman in the sky suddenly changed her expression and looked back at where she had been standing. There, a Nascent Pill suddenly shot out from the slowly floating snake skull and rushed towards the gray-white barrier above her head like lightning.
