Inside the Poison Dragon Cave.
Zhang Taiyi laughed heartily. "Five Destruction and Six Annihilation injures the body. Fire is destroyed by water. Husband has no clothes to cover his body. Wife's clothes turn yellow because of water. I don't want to become an immortal. I want to refine an external pill … "
He thought of her back then …
He thought of his master's expectations after he mastered the Time God's power …
He thought of that day when he didn't want to become an immortal …
Finally, it converged on the stubborn figure outside the Taishang Dragon Tiger Sect.
"Master, Father … I will definitely find the method to refine an external pill!"
This belief had supported him until now by stopping at nothing. Even if it was hunting the Elite Disciples of other sects, interrogating their books, stealing the treasures of the Imperial Court, or even killing his fellow disciples, he'd finally come to the end!
"So, I still yearn for the Dao! I don't want to forget her, and I don't want to give up on the Dao … As long as I refine an external pill, I can have both! "
A thought appeared in Zhang Taiyi's mind.
Kaboom!
A fish-scale cloud appeared in the sky.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning fell. Its target was the Five Fires Six Qi Cauldron!
Zhang Taiyi's expression didn't change. He even released his god's protection and let the lightning strike the cauldron.
This was the Heavenly Tribulation of forming an external pill. He had already used all sorts of methods to dissolve most of it. The remaining amount couldn't cause any damage. It was only there to help him.
The Five Fires Six Qi Cauldron shook and cracks appeared on its surface.
Spider-web-like cracks kept expanding and eventually covered the entire cauldron.
Crack!
Crack!
The Five Fires Six Qi Cauldron expanded and shrunk eighty-one times in an instant and finally exploded.
A terrifying shockwave spread out of the Poison Dragon Cave.
…
"Did it work? The first external pill cultivator? "
Chung Shen-soo was very curious in the alternate dimension.
But the terrifying shockwave even exceeded the Headless Count's space ability. He couldn't see the truth.
"Haha! Haha! "
Inside the Poison Dragon Cave.
A string of laughter came.
There was no joy in the laughter. Instead, it made people feel sad and wanted to cry.
"Did he fail?"
Chung Shen-soo let out a sigh. "He had already done his best in everything, and had survived all sorts of tribulations … Why did he still fail?"
The Longhu Immortal's aptitude and temperament were top-notch, and his external conditions had also reached a certain limit.
"So, the External Alchemy Method is flawed? Or some kind of fixed failure rate? "
Only now did Chung Shen-soo realize that the difficulty of forming one's core was beyond his imagination.
When the dust settled, the scene inside the Poison Dragon Cave was revealed.
Zhang Taiyi sat cross-legged. His black hair had turned completely gray, and he seemed to have aged thirty years in an instant.
His eyes were dazed, and his body was drenched in blood. He muttered to himself, "Could it be … that I was wrong?!"
"Haha, demon, even the heavens don't want you to form a Primal Core."
When Yan Beiling saw this, he burst into laughter. "Generals, listen up! Take down this demon!"
He was simply overjoyed. He hadn't expected that Zhang Taiyi, who had calculated everything, would still lose to the Heavens in the end!
At this time, the Space Division Sacred Art had also disappeared. Zhang Taiyi seemed to have no way out.
"As long as I'm alive, it's not considered a failure."
Zhang Taiyi struggled to get up and said with a bitter smile, "I've also made some arrangements to deal with this possibility of failure. Protector-General, let's meet again next time."
He patted the praying mat on the ground, and a layer of formation patterns appeared. The scale of the formation was different from that of the Second Empire. It was actually a magic formation that was flashing with many mysterious runes!
Zhang Taiyi's magic power was already greatly depleted, and he had even used his Natural Sacred Art to cultivate.
He could no longer travel through the void, but he could borrow the power of the formation to teleport and escape!
The advantage of this Western Magic Teleportation Formation was that it didn't require any energy to be injected into it, and it could be activated immediately.
An invisible door opened in the void, and under the protection of many mysterious runes, it swallowed Zhang Taiyi.
When the formation lit up, he was no longer in the Poison Dragon Cave.
Even the formation started to burn, and it actually self-destructed.
When Yan Beiling rushed in and saw this, he could only let out a helpless rage.
…
In the alternate dimension.
When the magic formation lit up, Chung Shen-soo's expression changed. "This formation … I'm familiar with it!"
He thought back to when he was communicating with the Headless Count, and in the part of the mysticism knowledge he had obtained, there was a part of the formation's ritual that could coincide with it.
And with the Headless Count's attainments in spatial spells, there seemed to be hope of tracking and teleporting over?
"Zhang Taiyi … his magic power should have been greatly depleted, and he might even have fallen? After all, he risked everything to break through to the Primordial Core, and even used his Natural Sacred Art as materials … Now that he has lost everything, it's possible that he has fallen back to the Aura Realm, or even become an ordinary person. "
"Even if he's an ordinary person, this person has many magic treasures on him. However, that most powerful Heavenly Night Thunder Seal has been thrown away by Hao Yunzi's formation."
"Now that I think about it, it's very promising!"
Chung Shen-soo's eyes lit up, and he whistled.
The Headless Count appeared beside him, grabbed his arm, and opened a void door.
An invisible ripple spread out, and the two figures were swallowed up.
Chung Shen-soo already had experience in using spatial spells to travel, but this was his first time tracking.
At this moment, he felt as if he had fallen into a strange and colorful oil painting, and he wanted to find that small "black dot" in the oil painting.
…
Somewhere in the wilderness.
A thick layer of black fog shrouded the ground, and there was a temporary cave abode underground.
With a flash of light, Zhang Taiyi's figure appeared, and he walked to the side in a daze, not even bothering to tend to his injuries, frowning in deep thought.
"Why did I fail?"
"What went wrong?"
"I clearly felt that I would definitely succeed this time …"
"This cave abode should be safe for now … After all, it was opened in the black fog to hide."
"I've caused quite a lot of trouble this time, and I don't know how the Second Empire will hunt me down … Sigh, if Master and Father knew, they would be very sad … My Taishang Longhu Sect has always been on good terms with the Imperial Court, haha, luckily I left the sect long ago …"
Zhang Taiyi's thoughts wandered.
At this moment, he had indeed lost his cultivation, and his realm had dropped.
However, he was confident that with his talent, he would definitely be able to cultivate back to the Divine Power Realm and try to break through to the External Alchemy Realm again.
Zhang Taiyi was not willing to give up on the Great Dao and her!
At this moment, there was a sudden fluctuation in the void.
A sword light appeared and landed on Zhang Taiyi's head.
"Pu!"
A pitch-black flying sword directly pierced through Zhang Taiyi's head!
It was Chung Shen-soo!
His figure appeared with a solemn expression, and his [Herdsman] ability was fully activated. His spiritual sense captured a soul on a corpse.
"Enslave!" Chung Shen-soo's spiritual sense spread and landed on the soul.
Thick darkness instantly enveloped the other party. It was the headless Count. He appeared behind Zhang Taiyi, and his hands clamped down on Zhang Taiyi's soul, allowing Chung Shen-soo's spiritual sense to continue spreading.
"No!"
"Who are you?!"
Zhang Taiyi's soul roared angrily. His spiritual power was originally very strong, but at this moment, it was at its lowest. His translucent soul was gradually being eroded, and his face became expressionless.
"Success!"
Chung Shen-soo let out a long breath, feeling a little dazed.
This cunning and incomparably powerful cultivator with the Divine Power … It seemed like he had probably … really killed him?
