Chapter 88: The Supreme Pill Master (The End)

Eight hundred years later
The Third Eighth-Rank Pill Master appeared in the Prison Suppression Holy Land.
The Prison Suppression Holy Land flourished.
Also in this year, Su Chen received news of an ancient saint's ruins appearing somewhere beyond the realm. That ancient saint was, in life, a Pill Saint-level alchemist possessing Heavenly Flame.
The outer realm was teeming with myriad races, extremely dangerous.
Su Chen understood that this was his last chance.
"Death is inevitable for everyone,"
Su Chen murmured to himself.
He was unwilling to stop here; he still wanted to glimpse the threshold of the Pill Saint!
Therefore, he would not give up on this ancient saint's ruins!
Su Chen won over thirteen Nirvana Realm Venerables and also persuaded the Peak Master of Hidden Sword Peak, a saint who agreed to escort Su Chen in his quest for the Heavenly Flame.
With everything prepared, Su Chen once again stepped into the outer starry sky!
.......
Beyond the Heavenly Profound Realm, various realms coexisted, and myriad races stood side by side.
This wasn't Su Chen's first time venturing beyond the realms.
Yet, he still felt lingering fear.
Ancient Saint Ruins appeared on an ancient star, the tides of spiritual energy terrifyingly powerful.
Numerous forces had already set foot here, sealing off the surroundings, attempting to seize the Ancient Saint Ruins.
Race lacking strength, without a powerful figure to guard them, would be devoured instantly; the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, was vividly displayed at this moment.
The Prison Suppression Holy Land, with a Saint guarding it, was naturally considered a powerful force. Sensing the Saint's terrifying aura, no one dared to provoke them.
Su Chen watched the scenes of carnage unfold, calculating the forces vying for the Ancient Saint Ruins.
Without exception, all forces capable of entering the core level had a Saint guarding them!
However…
Suddenly, a heart-wrenching scream rang out.
Su Chen stared intently and saw a powerful creature with wings on its back, no weaker than a Saint-level expert, being torn apart by a terrifying being.
"That's... the Temple of War Gods!"
Su Chen's pupils constricted sharply.
How could he forget the symbol of the Temple of War Gods?
Lin Zhan was indeed not dead, and he was going to rebuild the Temple of War Gods. With such a terrifying Saint within the Temple of War Gods, he was probably infinitely close to the Saint King realm!
"The Temple of War... I didn't expect the Temple of War to join the fun!"
"The Temple Master of the Temple of War, Lin Zhan, is truly a legend. Ten years ago, he fought a Great Saint of the Overturning Sea Dragon Clan and forcefully killed him. His power is terrifying!"
"The people of the Temple of War are extremely cold-blooded. Anyone who gets in their way will be retaliated against. The Saint of the Skywing Clan is pitiful; he actually provoked these madmen and perished here!"
"..."
The Saint of Hidden Sword Peak looked grave and said to Su Chen, "Elder Su, this person is very dangerous...!"
Su Chen's heart was also heavy, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Because it wasn't Lin Zhan who came!
After waiting for more than half a year, the passage to the Ancient Saint Ruins finally appeared.
Su Chen led the people of the Prison Suppression Holy Land into the Ancient Saint Ruins to search for the whereabouts of the Heavenly Fire.
Inside the Ancient Saint Ruins, powerful enemies surrounded them. The people of the Prison Suppression Holy Land suffered several attacks, and nearly half of their Nirvana Realm Venerables were lost.
If it weren't for the powerful assistance of the Hidden Sword Peak Saints, Su Chen and his group would have perished within the secret realm long ago.
Su Chen discovered an abundance of treasures within the ancient saint's ruins.
The emergence of the ancient saint's secret manual sparked a major battle among many saints.
The appearance of a saint-level puppet attracted another group of saints to intervene.
The Great Sage's Herb Garden was looted by a group of powerful figures upon its emergence. Su Chen also participated in the competition, seizing several rare Grade 8 medicinal herbs, but unfortunately, he didn't witness the appearance of a sacred herb.
As the powerful figures clashed, more and more restrictions were broken.
Finally,
Su Chen witnessed the moment when the sky was ablaze with flames.
"Nine Yang True Qi Flame! It's Heavenly Fire!"
Su Chen was determined to obtain it!
The appearance of the Heavenly Fire drew the attention of everyone.
The importance of a powerful Heavenly Fire is no less than that of a sacred herb!
Not to mention the Nine Yang True Qi Flame, a Heavenly Fire listed on the Heavenly Fire Ranking.
The Sage of Hidden Sword Peak took a deep breath: "Elder Su, if I am defeated in the battle for the Heavenly Fire, Elder Su, do not turn back, leave the Ancient Sage Ruins immediately!"
Su Chen nodded.
The remaining Nirvana Realm Venerables protected Su Chen.
The Saint of Hidden Sword Peak charged forward, sword in hand, towards the Heavenly Fire. Without the Saint's protection, races harboring hatred for humanity, who had been hiding in the shadows, emerged and began to swarm Su Chen and his companions.
"A human eighth-grade alchemist...we absolutely cannot let him live!"
After the fierce battle, two more Nirvana Realm allies around Su Chen had perished.
Before anyone could grieve, the battle for the Heavenly Fire was over. A figure covered in blood appeared, one arm severed, but the other hand wielding a flame as bright as the sun.
"Go!"
The Saint of Hidden Sword Peak didn't have time for words. He directly handed the Nine Yang True Qi Flame to Su Chen and used all his strength to clear a path for everyone.
Without a word, Su Chen stepped into the passage with the Nine Yang True Qi Flame. A figure exuding oppressive power approached from afar, slamming a palm into the passage: "People of the Heavenly Profound Domain? Want to seize the Heavenly Flame and leave? Did you even ask my War God Palace?"
Space seemed to collapse. A terrifying aura erupted from the Hidden Sword Peak Saint, burning everything in its path to block the terrifying figure.
Simultaneously, several hidden Saints tried to stop Su Chen, but their attacks were thwarted by the Hidden Sword Peak Saint. The shockwaves from their battle riddled the spatial passage with holes.
Ultimately, at the last moment, Su Chen managed to escape the Ancient Saint Ruins.
When Su Chen awoke from his unconsciousness, he found himself on a desolate ancient star.
He obtained the Nine Yang True Qi Flame, but at the cost of a Saint from the Prison Suppression Holy Land.
Cause and effect, indeed.
"These injuries...are truly severe!"
Su Chen smiled bitterly to himself. The spatial passage had collapsed, and the terrifying spatial power nearly shredded his body. Fortunately, he had taken some pills beforehand, preventing his death. His other Nirvana Realm assistants were either killed by the spatial power or teleported elsewhere, disappearing without a trace.
Given his current physical condition, he was no longer able to traverse the void.
This ancient star was also incredibly desolate, its spiritual energy so thin that Su Chen despaired. He didn't know when he would recover from his injuries.
Returning to the Heavenly Profound Domain was already a pipe dream.
Su Chen had no choice but to explore this place, only to discover that the strongest being here was merely at the Spirit Sea Realm. Even searching through countless treasures couldn't restore even a tenth of his injuries.
The Yin energy of the Nine Nether Profound Fire within his body was growing increasingly dense. Perhaps within a hundred years, he would suffer a backlash.
In this predicament, he had no choice but to risk refining the Nine Yang Heavenly Gang Flame.
Thirty years later... Su Chen was incredibly old, his body dark and gloomy, with the Nine Nether Profound Nether Flame and the Nine Yang True Qi Flame raging within him.
"Heaven is not waiting for me... Heaven is not waiting for me...!"
"Heaven is not waiting for me, Su Chen!"
Su Chen was filled with resentment.
He was so close!
Unfortunately... the spiritual energy here was too thin to support him in suppressing two completely different heavenly flames simultaneously.
Su Chen sighed three times in despair.
He prepared for his afterlife.
Although he didn't know where this place was,
Su Chen still erected a stone tablet, recording his life.
【If future generations receive my fortune, I hope my body will be returned to Tianxuan. The Prison Suppression Holy Land will surely reward me handsomely.】
Good fortune... good fortune...
Su Chen looked up at the starry sky, the power within him could no longer suppress the two raging heavenly flames, one yin and one yang igniting from his skin.
The starry sky was dazzling, breathtakingly beautiful!
Years later, perhaps someone will discover the legacy of a being from another realm known as the Limitless Pill Master.
And it will stir up a storm across the continent!
