Ten Thousand Dragons Technique

Chapter 428: Lin Xuan! Miracle of the Alchemy Realm!

The other Alchemy Masters sighed repeatedly upon hearing the Pill King’s words.

Master Luo spoke up, "Pill King, don’t persist any longer. You’re going to suffer a crushing defeat."

Master Zheng added, "That’s right, you still have time to give up. Otherwise, you’ll really have to apologize to Young Master Lin in public."

After all, the Pill King was the strongest Alchemy Master in the Great Xia Country, a dazzling and lofty figure. It seemed he had never bowed his head to anyone before. Could it be that this time he would truly have to yield to a young man? He’d probably lose all face. The other Alchemy Masters were all looking out for the Pill King’s best interests, hoping to preserve his dignity, but the Pill King didn’t see it that way.

He said coldly, "Have you all lost your minds? Worrying about me? How absurd."

The Pill King was supremely confident in himself. Throughout history, no one has ever mastered a second Anomalous Fire. What gives Lin Xuan the right to think he can?

The Pill King ignored the other Alchemy Masters and fixed his gaze on Lin Xuan. "Kid, you claimed to have mastered the Green Lotus Core Flame, didn’t you! Very well, then. Show it to me. Let me see for myself."

"As you wish," Lin Xuan replied without hesitation.

With a wave of his left hand, a cluster of green flame materialized, blooming in mid-air to form a verdant lotus. The lotus petals were a crystalline, translucent green, as if crafted from the most exquisite jade, and they radiated an aura of utter destruction.

The Pill King, who had been sneering just a moment ago, felt the smile freeze on his face. His eyes went wide as he stared intently at the green lotus in the sky. His body began to tremble involuntarily.

This? This is... How is this possible? This aura... it’s the aura of an Anomalous Fire!

He had once ventured deep into the lava and, though he hadn’t seen the Green Lotus Core Flame, he had sensed its aura. He would never forget that feeling; the memory was still fresh. The aura emanating from Lin Xuan’s flame was identical to the one in his memory.

This is the aura of the Green Lotus Core Flame! The flame before my eyes *is* the Green Lotus Core Flame! He actually managed to master it! How is this possible?

At that moment, the Pill King’s mind roared, and he stood utterly stunned.

Meanwhile, the Celestial King was also dumbfounded. His mind went completely blank. He had seen the Green Lotus Core Flame before, and it looked exactly like this.

This kid really obtained the Green Lotus Core Flame! And he even managed to merge with it! How could this be? The shock was too much for him; he simply couldn’t accept it. He stood rooted to the spot in a daze.

The other powerful experts in the crowd gasped in astonishment upon witnessing the scene.

"Damn, is this the legendary Green Lotus Core Flame? What a terrifying, destructive aura!"

"Did Lin Xuan really manage to control it?"

"This young man... has he truly mastered two Anomalous Fires?"

"He’s broken the iron law of the Alchemy Realm!"

"He’s created another legend!"

They were going crazy! At that moment, everyone lost their minds! Before, when Lin Xuan claimed to have obtained and mastered the Green Lotus Core Flame, none of them had believed him. They thought he was making wild boasts. But now, they realized Lin Xuan hadn’t been boasting at all. He had been telling the truth. It was they who had been too foolish and ignorant, their horizons too narrow to comprehend a true miracle, which was why they had disbelieved him.

Now, having seen it with their own eyes, they believed.

They were convinced.

They were awestruck.

A genius! A peerless genius! A Child of Fortune!

Cries of astonishment rose from all around as the entire venue erupted in a frenzy.

Although Master Luo and the others had seen the Green Lotus Core Flame before, they were still deeply shocked to see it again. It couldn’t be helped; this was nothing short of a miracle.

Holding the Green Lotus Core Flame in one palm, his other hand clasped behind his back, Lin Xuan looked at the Pill King and asked calmly, "Do you believe me now?"

The Pill King snapped back to his senses and swallowed hard. He pinched his arm forcefully and felt a sharp pain. So, I’m not dreaming. This is real! How did you do it?

His voice trembled as he spoke. He had never imagined someone could break the iron law of the Alchemy Realm. Is this kid a monster?

"Never mind how I did it," Lin Xuan said. "I’m just asking if you believe me or not."

"Fine, I believe you! What choice do I have?" The Pill King knew he was wrong. He had been wrong from the very beginning. It turned out Lin Xuan had been telling the truth all along. He felt like a complete fool for ever doubting him.

He clasped his fists and declared, "Young Master Lin, I was mistaken. I offer you my sincere apology." After speaking, the Pill King actually bowed deeply to Lin Xuan.

The surrounding crowd was immensely shocked. They never expected the Pill King to show such deference.

After bowing, the Pill King said, "This bow is for you, for shattering the iron law of the Alchemy Realm. With your talent and fortune, as long as you don’t meet an untimely end, your future achievements will far exceed mine. I will no longer try to seize the Green Lotus Core Flame. Farewell."

With that, the Pill King turned and walked away.

The Master of the Pill Tower secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, the Pill King didn’t go back on his word. Otherwise, the situation would have become very difficult to handle. The others watched the Pill King’s departing figure, their discussions buzzing.

"As expected of a King! A man of his word."

"The Pill King is indeed honorable."

Everyone was filled with admiration, but just then, a roar cut through the air. "The Pill King may have left, but I haven’t!"

"Kid, I will never let you go! Kneel and accept your death!" The Celestial King’s eyes were bloodshot, his murderous intent palpable as he stared daggers at Lin Xuan. He and Lin Xuan shared a blood feud. Lin Xuan had killed his third son, and he would never forgive him. Now that Lin Xuan possessed two Anomalous Fires, his future potential was limitless. If he was allowed to keep growing, it wouldn’t be long before he surpassed the Celestial King himself. Then, there would be no more chance for revenge.

Therefore, the Celestial King had to eliminate him now. He would not give him any opportunity to grow stronger.

"KILL!" the Celestial King roared, brandishing his Heaven-piercing Halberd and charging forward.

The faces of the onlookers changed drastically. They never expected the Celestial King to attack.

"How shameless!"

"Despicable!"

"This Celestial King is far inferior to the Pill King!"

But their curses couldn’t save Lin Xuan.

The Celestial King swung the Heaven-piercing Halberd in his hands, bringing it down upon Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan’s expression darkened. He dares to attack me? This Celestial King truly has a death wish! However, he was completely unafraid. He prepared to summon the Snake King to deal with the attack.

But just then, the Master of the Pill Tower roared, "Quick, stop the Celestial King! Save Young Master Lin!" With a wave of his hand, he launched a ball of flame. The surrounding Alchemy Masters also took action, sending forth streams of Spiritual Fire that merged into a vast sea of fire, blocking the Celestial King’s path.

"GET OUT OF MY WAY!" the Celestial King bellowed. His Heaven-piercing Halberd sliced through the sea of fire, and the shockwave sent the Alchemy Masters flying backward, all of them spitting up mouthfuls of blood. He was too powerful. A single strike from the Celestial King was terrifyingly strong. They were simply no match for him.

The Master of the Pill Tower’s face went pale. He turned to Lin Xuan and shouted, "Quick! Flee into the depths of the Pill Tower! I’ll use the array to hold him off!"

Lin Xuan, however, just shook his head. "Escape? Why should I escape? He can’t do anything to me. I can stand right here, and he won’t be able to lay a single finger on me." With the Snake King’s protection, he had no fear of the Celestial King.

The Master of the Pill Tower was stunned. What arrogant nonsense is this kid spouting? Does he really think he can contend with the Celestial King? What a joke! This kid must be insane!

The other Alchemy Masters were equally dumbfounded. Lin Xuan plans to take the Celestial King’s attack head-on? Has he lost his mind? It’s over. This kid has become too arrogant. Did he think mastering two Anomalous Fires made him invincible? How naive!

Mastering two Anomalous Fires was a myth in the Alchemy Realm, but it still wasn’t enough to contend with a King. All are ants beneath a King. Only a King can fight a King. To dare challenge the Celestial King like this was courting death.

Everyone shook their heads and sighed.

Upon seeing this, Master Song began to gloat. Haha, this kid is an idiot. I’ve seen people look for death, but I’ve never seen anyone look for it quite like this! A mere Martial General daring to challenge the Celestial King? The height of foolishness! Master Song was thrilled. He was going to watch his enemy die with his very own eyes.
