Chapter 843: Dragon Breath Pill’s Power

Proofreader: Papatonks

Whoosh~

With the breaking news of Heaven Trailing Sect’s destruction, the three teams now trailed the sunny skies at full speed to reach Universal Righteous Sect.

“Old Du, if Overlord Nine Serenities wants revenge, then the next target is definitely the Universal Righteous Sect!” Elder Ou said as the two flew shoulder to shoulder.

Elder Du nodded with a frown. Wu Qingqiu spoke up at this point, “Universal Righteous Sect is a superior-three sect, with many Genesis Stage cultivators, not like the previous two categories. I just can’t see how it’s possible for it to end up the same as the others!”

“Child, you’re too young, having yet to witness true experts.”

Elder Ou sighed, “You must’ve heard by now of Danqing Shen trampling on the ten sects. Did you think he wasn’t strong enough to destroy one, even a superior-three sect? Humph, it was western lands’ rules that stopped him. He’s part of western lands after all. But this Overlord Nine Serenities is ready to kill down to the last soul to take revenge for his disciple. Coupled with Danqing Shen’s strength, then a puny Universal Righteous Sect stands no chance at all. In front of true and ultimate power, a sect is nothing more than a house of cards, left to be stomped under his foot at his whim.”

Elder Ou’s eyes flashed with a deep look, fearful of such display of raw force.

Wu Qingqiu shuddered and nodded.

Yan Mo mocked, “Elder Ou, since he’s so mighty, with even a superior-three sect worthless, won’t that makes us small fries?”

“No. As we represent Double Dragon Manor, someone with the authority to move all of western lands’ forces.”

Elder Du’s eyes flashed, “As long as he’s not dead set on it, we can leverage our names to talk it out. Not just anyone is willing to become a public enemy of the entire western lands. Not even Danqing Shen of old.”

“And if he is dead set on revenge?”

“Well…”

Yan Mo asked, to which Elder Du sighed, “Then it’ll be a second Invincible Sword.”

“Invincible Sword?”

“Yes, going by his rumored strength, he alone has the capacity to fight an area’s entire force.” Elder Du spoke heavily, “Only with the alliance made up of the other four areas could we stop his advance. However, now he has reached peak Genesis Stage, from which he can’t advance an inch. If there was a stage beyond Genesis Stage, he’d have achieved it with his talent, becoming the undisputed strongest man in the world. His invincible title is warranted.”

The others grew tense at the revelation.

Ye Lin’s eyes flickered with the flames of battle.

The only reason Invincible Sword was stuck at that level was because the mortal domain had a limit imposed on it.

[Though how did he train to reach such great power then? I wonder who’d win if I’d reach Genesis Stage, a sacred beast inheritor or a mere human?]

The thirst for battle thrummed in Ye Lin’s heart, surging like a volcano…

“Look, we’re almost at the Universal Righteous Sect!”

Elder Du pointed in the distance, at a verdant forest, “Let’s hurry up…”

Boom!

An explosion of fire like no other erupted and drowned his words. The golden inferno rose beyond the clouds, like it had swallowed the heavens.

The heatwave came next, slamming into them like a hammer.

The three elders cried out, “Protect the disciples!”

The elders unleashed their Yuan Qi, and with the world’s power, they formed a shield in front.

It proved to be of no use, as a shockwave came and blew it to pieces. It attacked the elders and forced them to spew blood, before sending them flying.

The next were the disciples, faring no better, spilling blood from their mouths and falling unconscious.

An hour had to pass for them to come to, but what they were seeing was nothing their tiny minds could prepare them of the devastation.

For thousands upon thousands of miles, not a blade of grass grew. Any sign to indicate a lush and verdant forest once grew here was now gone, replaced by ashes and burning soot.

Pff!

Elder Du spat blood once more, “W-what the hell is this? W-why is… there’s nothing left!”

“We must’ve arrived just as the explosion happened. But for even we, in the Genesis Stage, to suffer such heavy wounds, I can only dread what power it has at its epicenter…”

Elder Ou got up on shaky legs, his words waking everyone up. 

[Right! The Universal Righteous Sect was just there. Then…]

Looking ahead, all they saw were golden flames billowing higher and higher. Its searing hit burning on their skin, so strong it evaporated the blood they just spilled.

It worked on their bodies as well, baking them alive and drying them up in just fifteen minutes.

Chu Qingcheng found this view eerily familiar, her eyes filled with tears as she muttered, “Z-Zhuo Fan…” 

“What?” The elders jerked, “Qingcheng, what are you saying?”

Chu Qingcheng sobbed, “On the day of Zhuo Fan’s death, the same inferno happened, spreading for five hundred miles, taking even his body. This fire may be much stronger, but I’ll never forget such flames…”

The elders looked at each other in realization.

“Junior brother, this fire feels similar to yours.” Wu Qingqiu asked Ye Lin.

Rolling his eyes, Ye Lin huffed, “Senior brother, are you mocking me? This is far more powerful and concentrated. If I had this in the Double Dragon Gathering, I wouldn’t have lost.”

“Really?” Wu Qingqiu eyed him, still suspicious.

Ye Lin was faking it on purpose. Of all the natural golden flames in the world, he knew only one that held such unbridled power, Decimating Dragon Ancestor’s Decimating Golden Flame.

As to how it ended up here, he was positive Zhuo Fan got a Dragon Breath Pill from the dragon ancestor.

[Elder brother, what a waste of a Dragon Breath Pill to use it here.]

He knew the Dragon Breath Pill Zhuo Fan got was a sacred beast’s strongest attack. That thing he used was a mere toy.

Throwing such a Dragon Breath Pill around the mortal domain was like burning ants, an utter waste.

Ye Lin sighed inside.

[That’s supposed to be used to save yourself, not get revenge…]

“Let’s see what exactly happened.” The elders nodded with grave looks.

They all knew the Universal Righteous Sect had been wiped out, but an investigation still had to take place.

The three elders carried their damaged bodies as they led the disciples towards the inferno…

Zhuo Fan was walking away from the blaze in a black robe and with a smile on his face.

[Ha-ha-ha, Dragon Breath Pill is the best! I just poke a hole in the sect barrier then threw it in. No matter how many Genesis Stage and Soul Harmony Stage experts it has, they’re all toast!]

This had to be the easiest revenge yet for Zhuo Fan. He didn’t have to waste time and sully his eyes with their presence, just throw something in and send them to their maker. 

[Worthy of dragon ancestor’s true power!]

Though seeing such destruction, Zhuo Fan found it unbearable, not remorse for anybody, but that the Dragon Breath Pill was such a waste here.

Though he used it in the end, wiping any sign of life from every corner.

Humming a tune, Zhuo Fan walked on. But then he frowned as he looked further ahead.

[Eh, someone’s coming?]

[Whether friend or foe, an away team or a fugitive, I’ll know once I’ll look.]

Zhuo Fan’s right eye flashed in six golden halos.

Divine Eye of the Void 6th stage, Void Domain!

Hum~

The air rippled under his power, forming a barrier. Zhuo Fan entered it and vanished from the world.

All he left behind was a world of flames…
