On the boat, Ling Xian's hands moved in the air as if he was brewing a Dan in his backyard. He was calm and at ease.
This made the elder in black's face turn green. To brew a Dan before him and to do it so casually, it was like Ling Xian didn't think anything of him!
Yet, he didn't dare to act rashly.
Elder Wu could destroy the Stone of Time at any moment. He didn't dare to gamble on whether he would kill Elder Wu first or if Elder Wu would destroy the Stone of Time first.
Therefore, the situation was at a stalemate.
This allowed Ling Xian to brew a Dan in peace. However, it was still difficult.
Elder Wu could at most last half an hour. To brew two different Dans in such a short period of time was without a doubt, extremely difficult.
Even though he was an alchemist, he wasn't confident.
"Let's give it our all."
Ling Xian mumbled to himself. Using every second, he brewed the Dan to heal.
With his current level of skill, brewing this Dan wasn't difficult. Especially when he was using all his strength, brewing this Dan was even easier.
Therefore, he successfully brewed this Dan before Elder Wu died.
The moment the Dan broke out of the cauldron, an accident happened.
The elder in black made his move like lightning. Instantly, everything around him shook and crumbled.
It was true that he didn't dare to act rashly. But he also didn't want Elder Wu to escape danger. Therefore, he took this opportunity to attack and destroy Ling Xian and the Dan.
Elder Wu and Ling Xian realized what was going on.
The former was because he was staring at the elder in black. The latter was because he predicted this.
However, there was nothing they could do.
The elder in black had already made his move. Destroying the Stone of Time would only end their last hope. It was pointless.
Thus, Elder Wu could only watch helplessly.
Ling Xian was the same. He had no way to defend against this attack and could only defend with his body.
Retch!
Fresh blood splattered and dyed his white robe red. Ling Xian's eyes dimmed. More than half of his bones were broken.
This was only because of his strong physique. If this was anyone else, even if they were a Heaven's Favorite, they would've died.
"You made it?"
The elder in black was stunned. He didn't think a cultivator of the advanced stage of the extraordinary realm could defend against his attack and not die.
"Hurry and consume this Dan!"
Ling Xian puked out blood. Ignoring his injuries, he threw the Dan to Elder Wu.
Seeing this, Elder Wu swallowed the pill at lightning speed.
Instantly, the medicinal power flowed through his body, strengthening his aura.
This meant that he was out of danger. Although he wouldn't recover immediately, he would be able to recover at least 30% of his strength.
"Quick, activate the Space-Time Stone!"
Ling Xian's expression was heavy. He originally planned on having Elder Wu activate the Stone of Time and Space after brewing the Dan of Cleansing.
However, the black-robed old man had already made his move, and it was very difficult to frighten this person.
Elder Wu was aware of this as well. Hence, he activated the Space-time Stone without hesitation.
Suddenly, two beams of golden and silver light shot into the sky, forming a spatial passage that was as stable as a boulder and as immovable as a mountain.
What was even more shocking was that other than the spatial undulations, there was also a hint of the True Meaning of Time.
However, the True Intent of Time was extremely faint. If one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't be able to discover it.
"Let's go!" Elder Wu shouted, and his figure flashed into the spatial tunnel.
Ling Xian was the same.
This caused the black-robed old man to be both shocked and furious. He raised his hand and slammed it down, shattering the void.
Unfortunately, he was a step too late.
The spatial tunnel dissipated first, bringing Ling Xian and Elder Wu to an unknown location.
"Dammit!" The black-robed old man's face was green and his lungs were about to explode.
To leave so casually before his eyes was the same as slapping him in the face. How could he not be furious?
"You think you can escape from me just because you built a spatial tunnel? Dream on! "
The black-robed old man was boiling with anger. He forced himself to calm down and sense the vibrations in the space.
After a few seconds, he looked to the southeast and snickered, "Found you. This time, there is no way you can get away!"
As soon as his voice trailed off, the spatial tunnel appeared and took him in pursuit.
….
Retch!
After puking out a mouthful of fresh blood, Elder Wu's face turned white and he began to waver.
What could he do? The power of the Stone of Time was far too strong. If it weren't for the fact that the Dan of Healing was still there, he would've turned into dust.
"Don't stop. Continue to activate the Stone of Time!"
Ling Xian's expression was heavy. He knew that before long, the black-robed old man will catch up. His only hope was to continue building spatial tunnels.
"It's true that I can continue to build spatial tunnels. But if I do it again, I will most likely die."
Elder Wu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "So this time, I will not enter the spatial tunnel. Or else we will all die."
"Elder, do you trust me?" Ling Xian looked at the elder in a serious manner, "If you trust me, then activate the Stone of Time and leave with me."
Hearing this, Elder Wu was a little startled and then nodded.
In the next second, the gold and silver light began to swirl and solidify into a stable spatial tunnel.
At the same time, Ling Xian tried his best to brew the Dan of Purifying World.
This Dan could eliminate the power of the Stone of Time and Space. As long as he can brew it before Elder Wu dies, then he can get out of this hopeless situation.
But, that was almost impossible.
The amount of time Ling Xian had left was far too short. Even if Liao Cang Qiong tried, he might not be able to do it.
Luckily, Ling Xian had brewed the Dan of Purifying World twice and was very familiar with it. Plus, he didn't plan on brewing the complete Dan.
As long as he could dissolve part of the power of the Dan and allow Elder Wu to continue activating the Stone of Time, he would have enough time to get out of this predicament.
"You won't be able to escape."
The elder in black walked out from the void, his face was full of mockery.
He knew that the Stone of Time and Space would devour Elder Wu. Under his heavily injured state, it was already a miracle that he was able to activate it once.
Therefore, to him, Elder Wu and Ling Xian were lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
But in the next second, his expression froze.
Because the spatial tunnel was disappearing. Along with it, Ling Xian and Elder Wu were also disappearing.
"Ling Xian, I can't go on much longer. Once this path ends, my life will end as well."
Inside the spatial tunnel, Elder Wu bitterly smiled, "I am sorry for dragging you down."
Hearing this, Ling Xian didn't speak.
He tried his best to brew an incomplete Dan of Purifying World before this path ends.
Time passed by little by little. After seven breaths, starlight appeared before his eyes.
This meant the spatial tunnel was about to disappear. When that happens, Elder Wu's life will come to an end.
Luckily, Ling Xian succeeded.
He performed better than he should have, but he also brewed the worst Dan in history.
The former was because he brewed the Dan of Purifying World within seconds. Though it was incomplete, it was still unbelievable.
Even the Immortal of Alchemy, Liao Cang Qiong, would be shocked.
The latter was because this Dan of Purifying World was only of the third rank. It was the worst Dan Ling Xian has ever brewed since he began his cultivation journey!
What could he do? The time was far too short. He had to ignore the effects of the Dan, he had to succeed!
"I finally succeeded."
Staring at the extremely low quality Dan of Purifying World, Ling Xian smiled. He felt like all the Dans he brewed in his life combined were not as good as this Dan.
Because this was hope. Hope to live.
He handed the Dan to the elder and smiled, "Consume it. It should be able to get rid of 30 percent of the power."
