Chapter 280: Plundering the Power of Devouring!


    ?


    Four massive energy tornadoes raged across the vast sky above the Medicine Mountain,


    roaring violently. The spiritual energy in the heavens and earth surged like a tide towards the four zing cauldrons.


    Anyone familiar with alchemy knew that such a world-shaking phenomenon could only ur when refining a Ninth-Rank Mysterious Pill.


    "All four of them are refining Mysterious Pills!"


    At the front of the VIP seats, Yao Dan, looked up at the unusual scene in the sky with a serious expression.


    With his keen perception, he could tell that these four individuals werepeting with one another, each attempting to challenge the limits of alchemy.


    Although he wasn''t fully familiar with the capabilities of the other three, he knew his n elder inside out. From his knowledge of Wanhuo''s skills, the chance of him sessfully refining a Ninth-Rank Mysterious Pill was less than 20%.


    Moreover, the process required absorbing vast amounts of spiritual energy from the environment. While Medicine Mountain was home to countless rare herbs and had an abundance of spiritual energy, it was doubtful it could sustain four people refining pills at


    once.


    Even if they had the skill to refine the pills, the spiritual energy of the surrounding area wouldn''t be enough to produce four Ninth-Rank Mysterious Pills!


    As things stood, these four were clearly determined to prove who was the best today. Whoever seeded would be recognized as the number one alchemist on the continent!


    "I''ve never seen husband refine a Ninth-Rank Mysterious Pill before. I''m actually quite excited."


    Xiao Yi Xian raised her delicate brows, a glimmer of excitement shing in her eyes. After all, she had always been deeply interested in alchemy. However, a momentter, a trace of worry appeared on her face.


    The other three were renowned masters in the alchemy world.


    "With his personality, he wouldn''t attempt something like this unless he was confident."


    Cai Lin, standing nearby, seemed to notice her concerns and smiled as she spoke.


    In the distant sky, spiritual energy surged like a tidal wave, finally converging into four massive tornadoes. One end connected to the cauldrons, while the other desperately absorbed the dense spiritual energy, continuously pouring it into the cauldrons.


    This phenomenon persisted for three full days. During this time, spiritual energy was wildly extracted from the heavens and the earth, causing the surrounding air to thin noticeably. Even some of the nearby spiritual herbs began to wither as their vital energy was forcibly drawn away.


    "Seal off the medicinal garden!"


    Several elders from the Yao n quickly took action, cing barriers around the valuable herbs to prevent them from dying.


    Within a thousand-mile radius, the spiritual energy was almostpletely depleted. Even some alchemists with lower cultivation felt dizzy, their breathing bing irregr. Medicinal herbs themselves were formed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth- they were essentially made of it! With these four drawing so desperately from the heavens, the herbs were naturally affected, and many began to wither.


    If all these precious herbs died, the Yao n would suffer a great loss!


    However, now that the main garden was sealed, the spiritual energy in the area grew thinner and thinner. It seemed that the Ninth-Rank Mysterious Pills were destined to fail...


    "It looks like no one will seed this time either," Yao Wanhuo said with a bitter smile, shaking his head. After all, a Mysterious Pill was incredibly rare and precious, and even he had no more than a 20% chance of sess.


    "Hah, that''s not necessarily true,"


    Hun Huzi said with a strange smile just as Yao Wanhuo finished speaking.


    Suddenly, he changed his hand seal and pped his palm on his cauldron. Three jet-ck mes shot out, each enveloping the cauldrons of Gu Fei, Yao Wanhuo, and Shen Nong!N?v(el)B\\jnn


    The situation immediately grew tense as the fourpetitors began to secretly vie for dominance, pouring all their efforts into protecting their cauldrons and spiritual energy while searching for opportunities to strike at their rivals'' cauldrons.


    The sky was filled with zing mes as ck, red, blue, and gold hues intertwined in a grand spectacle. The surrounding temperature soared, melting the ground beneath their feet as waves of heat radiated outward.


    A massive pressure loomed over the za, leaving everyone breathless. Many alchemists with lower cultivation levels turned pale, their legs shaking under the immense pressure. "This is the true showdown of top alchemists- grandmasters of the Mysterious Pill!" "The sheer aura alone is enough to make ordinary alchemists feel insignificant!"


    The crowd frequently burst into gasps of amazement, and many people were filled with excitement at the grand disy. Witnessing such a spectacle made the journey worthwhile. Just as the battle seemed to reach a stalemate, a terrifying devouring force suddenly rose from the void!


    The ck mes on one end of the pirs morphed into three rapidly spinning ck holes, releasing a horrifying devouring force.


    The massive spiritual energy that Gu Fei, Shen Nong, and Wanhuo had painstakingly gathered over the past few days was suddenly sucked into the ck holes in a beam of light!


    "Hun Huzi, how dare you!"


    Yao Wanhuo and Shen Nong''s expressions darkened instantly, their faces growing cold in an


    instant.


    No one had expected him to be so audacious!


    He had the nerve to target them!


    "Finally, an opportunity!"


    Gu Fei smiled slightly.


    As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ying opened its mouth.


    A pinkish glow radiated as mes engulfed the ck pirs conjured by Hun Huzi. Yao Wanhuo and Shen Nong''s faces both changed. Although they could barely fend off Hun Huzi''s attack by working together, they were powerless in the face of Xiao Ying, the strange me Spirit.


    Luckily, the me Spirit didn''t seem interested in their mes, so they weren''t severely impacted.


    Still, witnessing this made everyone uneasy. If the me Spirit had targeted their mes, both of them would have lost their precious mes!


    "It dares to devour my me!"


    Hun Huzi''s face turned ashen.


    "Brat, you-"


    He red fiercely at Gu Fei.


    In the blink of an eye, the ck me waspletely swallowed by Xiao Ying, leaving


    nothing behind.


    The entire process was incredibly awe-inspiring, as the mes consumed everything around


    them.


    Everyone present was left speechless, staring nkly at the scene.


    What just happened?


    Everyone from the Yao n waspletely dumbfounded.


    What in the world!


    Everyone who witnessed the scene was so shocked that they were left speechless for a long


    time.


    "Damn it!"


    In the distance, Hun Huzi cursed.


    "What is this..."


    Even Shen Nong showed a look of shock on his face.


    As for Yao Wanhuo, he waspletely stunned.


    "Haha, interesting!"


    "Hey, it seems karma''s real- your reckoning hase,"


    Yao Wanhuo''s lips curled into a cold smile as he taunted.


    Hun Huzi was about ready to explode in frustration. He had nned to absorb spiritual energy from Gu Fei but ended up losing a portion of his Nihility Devouring me instead.


    This was a massive loss.


    After all, Gu Fei''s Purifying Demonic Lotus me was a genuine me Spirit, a true primal


    me.


    In contrast, the Nihility Devouring me in Hun Huzi''s possession was merely a child me.


    There was no need topare their strength!


    ''I hope this allows Xiao Ying to acquire the power of devouring..''


    As he watched the ck mes being consumed by Xiao Ying, Gu Fei felt a trace of


    anticipation rise in his heart.
