”Thousand Flames Annihilation Technique,” is the name of this incomplete technique of minor divine power, but its completeness is at least seventy percent deficient, which means this thing is basically a scrap! Because of the excessive lack of content, no one could ever successfully cultivate it.

”So it’s a scrap...” Chen Fei murmured, immediately losing interest, then casually put it away and turned to leave the area.

At the same time, the news that Blood Demon Blade Sect Shadowless Blade Duan Qianjue and others were taken down by Chen Fei spread rapidly like it had wings to various major forces.

In North Hill City, within a tranquil mansion surrounded by mountains on three sides, King Lin of the Heaven-Pillar Hall was facing a Spirit Qi Mirror, communicating with the figure in it, though the topic was unknown.

”Sense God Pill?” The voice inside the spirit mirror echoed in a complex, contemplative tone, hesitantly saying, ”Able to give a person at the peak of Great Heaven Rank a thirty percent chance of stepping into the Mystic Heaven Position King’s realm, King Lin, are you sure that person isn’t deceiving you? In this Spirit Mirror within the Qiannan Ancient Kingdom, for hundreds of years, I’ve never heard of such a pill’s existence...”

”I’m not sure either, but...” King Lin paused, taking out the Sense God Pill Chen Fei had prepaid him, saying solemnly: ”This is the pill he prepaid me, though I don’t know if it’s real or fake, but I secretly had people from the Northern Hill Auction House appraise it for me...”

”What was the result?” A subtly raised voice came from the spirit mirror.

”This pill is at least a top-grade king-tier pill!” King Lin articulated every word.

”Top-grade king-tier pill?!” The voice on the other side of the spirit mirror was briefly shocked, then sank into deep silence. A top-grade king-tier pill requires at least a top-grade three-star king level alchemist to possibly be successfully concocted, could that person be a top-tier three-star king level alchemist? Or even more formidable?

At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Liuu Zhengqing walked in, visibly excited.

”King Lin, something significant has happened... Oh, is it Lord Hall Master? Liuu Zhengqing greets Lord Hall Master!” Liuu Zhengqing spoke eagerly at first, then was startled upon seeing the figure in the spirit mirror, immediately bowing respectfully.

For the figure in the spirit mirror was none other than the current Hall Master of the Heaven-Pillar Hall, Nine Dragon King!

”No need for formalities. Zhengqing, you just said something significant happened? What is it?” The Nine Dragon King in the spirit mirror asked.

King Lin also looked at Liuu Zhengqing with an inquiring gaze.

”Here’s the situation.” Liuu Zhengqing organized his words and immediately said: ”I just received news that Blood Demon Blade Sect’s Duan Qianjue, the Shadowless Blade, and his group were just taken out by Master Chen Fei! And it was all done instantaneously...”

”What did you say? Instantaneously?” Both Nine Dragon King and King Lin were taken aback, as they knew the prowess of Blood Demon Blade Sect’s Shadowless Blade Duan Qianjue—being at the cusp of Great Heaven Rank, he was nearly invincible, yet now someone took him out in an instant?

King Lin paused, surprised, and looked at Liuu Zhengqing: ”Is the news inaccurate? This seems unlikely, right? That Shadowless Blade Duan Qianjue, I know his strength is quite decent. Even if I wanted to deal with him, it’d take some effort... Are you sure he was taken out instantaneously?”

King Lin, though one of the lesser Mystic Heaven Position Kings of the Heaven-Pillar Hall, still possessed combat prowess far exceeding those at the cusp of Great Heaven Rank—ranking among the top elite forces of the Heaven-Pillar Hall.

But even so, him instantaneously taking out Shadowless Blade Duan Qianjue seemed unlikely, and now Liuu Zhengqing claims Duan Qianjue was taken out instantaneously by Chen Fei? It’s truly hard to believe.

”Could he have had help?” At this time, Nine Dragon King suddenly inquired.

”No, none... It’s said Duan Qianjue and his men cornered Master Chen Fei outside North Hill City, but were subsequently taken out instantaneously, even Qin Taizong’s ancestor Luo Zifeng stepped in to save them but nearly got taken out himself.” Liuu Zhengqing shook his head, explained.

”Even Luo Zifeng nearly got taken out?” Upon hearing this, both King Lin and Nine Dragon King were astonished.

Duan Qianjue and his group being taken out instantaneously was shocking enough, yet even the old fellow Luo Zifeng, too?

It’s worth noting that this old fellow’s age and seniority exceed everyone there, his strength and foundation accumulated over many years shouldn’t allow him to be nearly taken out by a youngster, should it?

”It’s true! Oh, right, King Lin, Lord Hall Master, someone recorded the battle scene at the time on a Recording Jade, I’ve bought a complete copy back for you to see.” At this time Liuu Zhengqing took out a Recording Jade capturing the battle scene.

The person who recorded this was far away from the battle scene, and couldn’t clearly capture the details, yet the repeated instantaneous kills still made King Lin and Nine Dragon King momentarily lose their composure.

”The person’s strength is impressive...” After the footage ended, Nine Dragon King murmured lightly as he slightly squinted his eyes. What impressed him most was Chen Fei’s instant kill of Duan Qianjue—others might not notice, but he did, Chen Fei’s method of killing Duan Qianjue seemed not simple!

Upon hearing this, Liuu Zhengqing and King Lin exchanged glances, seeing a trace of amazement in each other’s eyes.

It’s worth knowing that Nine Dragon King is not only the Hall Master of their Heaven-Pillar Hall, but among all their top elite forces, he ranks at least in the top five!

Furthermore, given Nine Dragon King’s status and rank, he generally wouldn’t easily praise someone, yet now Chen Fei’s strength has evidently already earned his attention?

”Is he the alchemist wanting to make a deal with us?” Nine Dragon King asked again.

”Hmm, it’s him.” Lin King nodded and said.

”Interesting.” Nine Dragon King laughed and said, ”This person’s strength isn’t far off from the Spear-wielding War King, and he’s also an incomparably formidable alchemist. Tsk tsk... It seems that old fellow Spear-wielding War King is in for some trouble.”

Upon hearing this, Lin King’s eyes brightened and he said, ”What do you mean, Hall Master?”

”Any formidable alchemist is someone worth recruiting to our Heaven-Pillar Hall.” Nine Dragon King laughed and said, ”I’ll send Mystic Soul and two teams from Demon Dragon Pavilion to join you.”

”Mystic Soul King, Demon Dragon Pavilion?” Liu Zhengqing gasped at these words.

Mystic Soul King is Nine Dragon King’s junior disciple, but his strength surpasses even Nine Dragon King’s. This is because Mystic Soul King successfully cultivated an incomplete technique of minor divine power from their Heaven-Pillar Hall, Thunder Shadow Three-Stage Dance, with over 90% completion!

And the Demon Dragon Pavilion isn’t simple either; it’s the most formidable dark force under Nine Dragon King’s command, specializing in dark matters. The strength of two teams from Demon Dragon Pavilion is at least equivalent to Lin King.

It can be said that whether it’s Mystic Soul King or Demon Dragon Pavilion, they are the pinnacle forces of Heaven-Pillar Hall used to contend with the five major powers of the same level, and even the Wang Clan!

Even Lin King and Liu Zhengqing climbed their way up from within Demon Dragon Pavilion.

Now, Nine Dragon King is dispatching Mystic Soul King and Demon Dragon Pavilion over, which is surely shocking.

”No matter if Chen Fei, Master Chen, is a top-tier three-star king-level alchemist or a four-star king-level alchemist, it’s considered top-notch within our Qiannan Ancient Kingdom, worth recruiting. Moreover, you might not know, but my junior disciple, Mystic Soul King, actually has some minor grievances with Spear-wielding War King that I suppressed before. Now, it’s a perfect chance to let him resolve them!” Nine Dragon King said with a smile.

”Really?” Lin King was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, ”I understand, Hall Master, I know what to do.”

...

Meanwhile, far away in the Blood Demon Blade Sect, the atmosphere was extremely tense, extremely eerie!

”Duan Qianjue was really killed?!”

”If I remember correctly, the Divine Bone of Desolate Beast is still on Duan Qianjue. Now that he’s been killed, doesn’t that mean...”

”What? Damn it! We went to great lengths to snatch that Divine Bone of Desolate Beast from that Twin Tower Ancient Nation! We need to immediately send someone to recover it!”

”Indeed, that Divine Bone of Desolate Beast contains the small divine art, Thousand Flames Burning Firmament, though it’s over seventy percent incomplete. However, the incomplete technique of minor divine power auctioned at Northern Hill Auction is said to be that Thousand Flames Burning Firmament, and it’s the unrecorded incomplete part of the Divine Bone of Desolate Beast, which is why we had Duan Qianjue bring the item to compare whether it’s real.”

”Damn it, what now? We barely had a chance to obtain such a highly complete minor divine art, and now there’s this mishap...”

...

Moments later, the hall erupted in fierce arguments! Words flew, causing a commotion.

As it turns out, the incomplete technique of minor divine power auctioned at Northern Hill Auction is the same as the one recorded on the Divine Bone of Desolate Beast that Chen Fei obtained, ”Thousand Flames Annihilation Technique,” deriving from the same source.

Because of this, Duan Qianjue previously took risks, hoping to seize those thousand pieces of top-grade spirit stones from Chen Fei, ensuring that their Blood Demon Blade Sect had the greatest chance of success by merging the two incomplete techniques of minor divine power.

But who knew that Duan Qianjue’s luck wasn’t great, being instantly killed by Chen Fei, and instead benefiting Chen Fei. The Divine Bone of Desolate Beast fell into Chen Fei’s hands.

If Chen Fei knew about this, he would certainly burst into laughter. Although he’s not particularly concerned about minor divine arts, the thrill of acquiring such spoils, often brings the greatest sense of achievement, isn’t that right?

”Utterly useless failure!” Blood Demon Blade Sect’s strongmen cursed through gritted teeth. They only have one incomplete technique of minor divine power, and its completion is only sixty percent, not high. Originally, they had a chance, yet there was this unexpected turn, no wonder they’re enraged!

However, regardless of how frustrated, angry, or furious they were, the situation had come to this, they still had to fill the gap themselves. They had to reclaim ’their’ Divine Bone of Desolate Beast.

”Humph!” Suddenly, a cold snort, vicious and sharp, thundered through the darkness, finally resonating fiercely within the hall.

Under that cold snort, it seemed as though heaven and earth trembled slightly.

Instantly, the Blood Demon Blade Sect’s strongmen in the hall changed color, looking toward the hall entrance, where space twisted and an aged figure appeared slowly.

Everyone’s eyes brimmed with awe and fear as they said, ”Lord Dugu!”
