Battle Through the Heavens: Marry Cao Ying, Reward is Devouring Ancestral Symbol

Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting PillTime passed quietly in concentration.

One day passed. Shen Wen’s figure did not move. The medicinal liquid in the cauldron had increased to over ten clusters, each with different colors and attributes, yet they maintained a delicate balance, slowly circling inside the cauldron.

Two days, three days... Shen Wen began the preliminary Fusion. He brought pairs of medicinal liquids with similar attributes close to each other, using Soul power to build bridges and guide them to slowly blend.

Every Fusion was accompanied by a slight tremor of medicinal power and the diffusion of an even richer, exotic fragrance.

By the fourth day, the medicinal liquid in the cauldron had merged into three main spheres of essence: one milky white, containing vast Soul power; one emerald green, with infinite vitality; and one reddish-gold, with billowing blood energy.

The real difficulty was about to begin.

Shen Wen took a deep breath, a silver light flickering slightly in his eyes.

The power of the space ancestral talisman was quietly invoked, not for attack or defense, but transformed into the most precise ”scaffolding” and ”membranes,” intervening between the three spheres of medicinal essence with vastly different attributes and immense energy.

”He’s going to forcibly fuse the three main medicinal essences.” Yao Lao’s voice carried a rare tension.

”The reason the bone-generating blood-fusing pill is at the Seventh-Rank Peak is because of this difficulty. Soul, vitality, and blood energy—the three are fundamentally different. Forcing a Fusion easily triggers violent conflicts, leading to total failure.

An ordinary Seventh-Rank Alchemist would need the assistance of a special Formation or several people working together, using Soul power to suppress and guide it layer by layer...”

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Shen Wen’s hand seals suddenly change!

”Merge!”

Amidst a low shout, the three clusters of medicinal liquid, under the precise guidance and separation of spatial power, slowly drew closer.

At the moment of contact—

”Buzz!!!”

The heaven burning cauldron shook violently, letting out a low roar.

Brilliance erupted within the cauldron as the three-colored energies collided frantically. Even through the cauldron body and the flames, everyone could feel that violent tearing force.

Shen Wen’s expression remained unchanged, but a drop of sweat quietly appeared on his temple.

The ten fingers of his hands were like fluttering butterflies, moving so fast they were only afterimages. One hand seal after another, containing Heavenly Realm Soul power and the profound mysteries of the space ancestral talisman, was struck into the cauldron.

Forcibly stabilizing the violent medicinal power, guiding the conflicting energies to annihilate and transform each other, searching for that singular point of balance.

This process lasted for a full day and night.

On the evening of the fifth day, the roaring and brilliance within the cauldron finally gradually subsided.

A fist-sized cluster of strange medicinal liquid, presenting a Chaos color with faint red, white, and gold threads of light flowing inside, slowly took shape and floated quietly.

The most dangerous Fusion stage was over!

Shen Wen exhaled a long breath of turbid air, and his straight back relaxed for a brief moment.

Five consecutive days of high-intensity Soul and Dou Qi consumption was no small burden, even for him.

But he did not rest. After adjusting his breathing, he immediately began the final ”Pill Nurturing.”

The flame turned into the gentlest ”Gentle Fire,” like a mother’s embrace, softly wrapping around that cluster of Chaos medicinal liquid. With a constant temperature, it slowly but firmly removed the last trace of Impurities, allowing the medicinal power to completely round into one.

The sixth day, the seventh day... Above the valley, thick leaden clouds began to gather at some point.

The cloud layer hung low, slowly rotating, with muffled thunder faintly coming from the far distance.

The Pill Lightning was coming!

Everyone’s hearts were in their throats.

Even Su Qian and the others, who had witnessed Eight-Colored Pill Thunder, couldn’t help but have tense expressions now.

The Pill Lightning of a Seventh-Rank Peak Medicinal Pill was by no means inferior to the full-strength strike of an ordinary Dou Zun expert!

At noon on the seventh day.

Inside the heaven burning cauldron, that cluster of Chaos medicinal liquid had shrunk to the size of a longan. Its brilliance was restrained, with only the three-colored light threads on the surface becoming increasingly clear and agile, as if they possessed life.

An indescribable, vast vitality mixed with pure energy began to diffuse from the cauldron.

Smelling this aura, even Douzong Peak experts like Qian Mu and Bai Lie felt their spirits lifted, and the hidden pain of old injuries in their bodies seemed to ease slightly.

The bone-generating blood-fusing pill was about to be completed!

”It’s coming.”

Yao Lao’s Soul form stared at the gradually solidifying pill prototype in the cauldron, his tone complex. ”When the pill is formed, it is the moment the Pill Lightning descends. Seventh-Rank Peak... it will be at least a three-colored Pill Lightning, possibly even reaching four or five colors.”

He glanced at the focused Xiao Yan beside him and said in a deep voice, ”Watch carefully how Shen Wen deals with the Pill Lightning.”

A high-level Alchemist must not only know how to refine pills but also how to protect them and how to deal with the might of heaven and earth.

This is something even I suffered from back in the day.”

Xiao Yan nodded heavily, his eyes not blinking once.

Just then—

”Buzz!”

The heaven burning cauldron let out a clear, long cry, and the cauldron lid suddenly soared into the sky!

A streak of three-colored light shot out from the cauldron, actually trying to break through the air and leave! The Medicinal Pill had gained spirituality and wanted to escape!

”Stay.”

Shen Wen only lightly spat out a single word.

In the Void Realm, invisible spatial power instantly transformed into the toughest cage, firmly imprisoning that three-colored light in mid-air. No matter how it lunged left and right, it could not break free.

The Medicinal Pill revealed itself, longan-sized and jade-white, with three clear colored rings slowly rotating on its surface.

The outer ring was pale gold, the middle ring emerald green, and the inner ring milky white.

An extremely rich medicinal fragrance exploded, instantly sweeping through the entire valley!

Pill formed!

Almost at the same instant the pill was fixed—

”Boom!!!”

The long-building leaden clouds thundered! In the center of the vortex, lightning flashed wildly!

The first bolt of thunder fell, silver-white and dazzling, as thick as an arm.

Immediately after, the second bolt, red as blood.

The third bolt, a heavy earthy yellow.

The fourth bolt, a vibrant green wood color.

When the fourth bolt of thunder condensed in the clouds, the four colors intertwined, forming a brilliant and terrifying four-colored thunder pillar—

”Four colors?!” Yao Lao cried out in shock, his Soul form fluctuating violently. ”Four-colored Pill Lightning?! The quality of this bone-generating blood-fusing pill... has actually reached the threshold of the Eighth-Rank?!”

The thunder pillar roared, carrying an aura that could annihilate all things, as it struck fiercely toward the center of the valley, toward that newly formed bone-generating blood-fusing pill and Shen Wen beside it!

Everyone’s hearts leaped into their throats.

Shen Wen slowly rose, looking up at the world-destroying thunder pillar, his face still calm.

He raised his right hand, palm upward, fingers slightly spread.

The powers of the devouring ancestral talisman, Flame Ancestral Symbol, thunder ancestral symbol, and space ancestral talisman operated and fused simultaneously in an unprecedentedly coordinated manner at this moment!

A strange light shield of Chaos color spread out from the center of his palm, instantly enveloping himself and the bone-generating blood-fusing pill.

Upon the light shield, Dragon shadows faintly circled, phoenix wings lightly fluttered, and a Kunpeng phantom flashed and disappeared.

”Boom—!!!”

The four-colored thunder pillar struck the Chaos light shield fiercely. That thunder power was like a clay ox entering the sea, being frantically devoured, decomposed, and transformed by the Chaos light shield!

Under everyone’s horrified gazes, the four-colored thunder pillar, which was enough to severely wound or even kill a Dou Zun, actually became thin and dim at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Finally, it completely dissipated outside the Chaos light shield, leaving only a few sparks of electricity jumping on the surface of the shield before being completely extinguished.

The leaden clouds in the sky seemed to lose their source of power and slowly dispersed, as sunlight once again fell upon the valley.

The Chaos light shield quietly vanished.

Shen Wen waved his hand, and the jade-white bone-generating blood-fusing pill obediently fell into the Cold Jade Box he had prepared, which he then stowed away with a flip of his hand.

Although his face was somewhat pale, his aura remained steady and deep.

Turning around, he looked at the dumbfounded crowd on the outskirts of the valley and smiled slightly. ”Done.”

Silence.

A deathly silence.

After several breaths, Yao Lao’s Soul form finally exhaled a long, non-existent breath, his voice dry.

”To withstand the four-colored Pill Lightning head-on without damaging the pill in the slightest... such methods are unheard of and unseen!”

He turned to the already stunned Xiao Yan beside him. ”Yan-er, did you see clearly?”

Alchemy, fire control, pill protection, Undergoing Tribulation... every step must be calculated without error, and every bit of power must be used to the limit.”

Yao Lao paused, his voice lowering with a hint of self-deprecation and undisguised admiration. ”To be honest, even in my prime, I might not have done better than him in refining this bone-generating blood-fusing pill.

At least in dealing with this four-colored Pill Lightning, I... do not have such effortless methods as he does.”

Xiao Yan recovered from his shock, looking at the figure in the center of the valley who was slightly weary but still stood tall, his heart in turmoil.

Hearing Yao Lao’s words, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly. ”Do you think I can do it?”

Yao Lao was silent for a while before saying, ”Perhaps.”
