600: Chapter 600 Guhe Severely Injured, Star Power Tempers Jade

Gu He circulated the remaining Dou Qi in his body, his figure like lightning as he sped toward the Black-Corner Region.

Because he knew that as long as he escaped to the Black-Corner Region, he would have a chance to survive.

The Black-Corner Region was the territory of the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty. Once, the Xiao Family's Clan Leader had sent people to attack the Black-Corner Region, only to return in defeat.

As a member of the Flame Alliance, Gu He had naturally obtained some insider information.

Unfortunately, Gu He hadn't cared at the time. Fate is fickle; the famous Pill King of the Jia Ma Empire had fallen to the point of being hunted.

"Liu Ling, your teacher is here!" Gu He said with a complex expression.

Kill!

Behind him, the six pursuers had already launched their attacks. Multi-colored Dou Qi and fierce, terrifying Dou Techniques swept in from all directions.

Attacking Gu He, they clearly intended to kill him.

Gu He's figure dodged frantically in mid-air, tracing arcs across the sky. The suppressed injuries on his body suddenly flared up as his Dou Qi was consumed.

Puchi!

Being able to escape the Jia Ma Empire under the Flame Alliance's pursuit proved that Gu He's strength was quite formidable.

One must know, Gu He was also an excellent Alchemist.

Sweeping toward the starlight pillar, at this time, within the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty, a stroke of fortune was bestowed because of the Star Demon-Sealing Monument.

"Starlight power?" Wang Ku said in shock. His Majesty actually had the strength to channel starlight power.

Yun Xiao's hands clenched until they creaked. The methods of the Emperor he followed were truly supernatural and unpredictable.

"Oh? Borrowing starlight power?" Elder Dan asked in confusion.

Wang Ku looked at Elder Dan, slightly taken aback, then shook his head. "It seems Elder Dan does not know enough about the Fighting Qi Continent."

Hearing this, Elder Dan was even more puzzled.

"Strictly speaking, the Fighting Qi Continent is a Minor Thousand Worlds. Minor Thousand Worldss do not have their own sun, moon, or stars!" Wang Ku said.

"This... impossible?" Elder Dan said, unconvinced.

"It's true. The sun, moon, and stars across the sky only exist in the Major Thousand Worlds. Minor Thousand Worldss exist by being attached to the Major Thousand Worlds because of the special structure of the planes!"

"Not just the Fighting Qi Continent plane; in all three thousand Minor Thousand Worldss, the sun, moon, and stars of each world are all projections from the Major Thousand Worlds!" Wang Ku said.

Elder Dan was filled with astonishment. He was originally prepared to disbelieve it, but seeing the expressions of Wang Ku and Yun Xiao, it didn't seem like they were joking.

"Do they really come from the Major Thousand Worlds? The sun, moon, and stars only exist in the Major Thousand Worlds?"

Inside the fifth floor of the Time Tower!

Endless starlight power was being channeled from the Major Thousand Worlds. At this moment, an impulse arose in Hun Tiandi's heart.

He watched as the fangtian imperial seal in his hand strangely rushed toward the incoming starlight.

"No, the starlight is coming toward the fangtian imperial seal and being absorbed by it; the seal is extracting a massive amount of starlight power!"

Hun Tiandi tossed the seal casually, letting it fly into the air as he watched this scene in wonder.

A surging starlight power was absorbed by the fangtian imperial seal, pouring into it.

But a huge wave rose in his heart. The fangtian imperial seal was his Dharma treasure, a divine artifact that suppressed the providence of the empire.

Having refined it for decades, he naturally understood what this change meant.

It was the red bead on the fangtian imperial seal, the red bead from the 'Nine Dragons Competing for the Pearl' design, which was obtained from the Heavenly Silkworm Ruins.

It was its doing!

Was that red bead forcibly extracting starlight power from the Major Thousand Worlds?

However, this starlight power did not pour into the bead, but instead rushed into the body of the seal itself, giving him a strange feeling.

It was as if the red bead looked down on the body of the fangtian imperial seal, thinking its grade was too low to be worthy of it.

That was why it was extracting starlight power to temper the body of the fangtian imperial seal and strengthen the power of the Nine Dragons.

The Nine Dragons Fangtian Jade, which served as the jade body of the imperial seal of the celestial dynasty, could be said to be the best jade on the Fighting Qi Continent.

Such fine jade was actually being looked down upon by the red bead?

"This red bead, where on earth did the Heavenly Silkworm Dragon Emperor get it from? What exactly is it? To be this monstrous?"

Hun Tiandi did not stop it, allowing the fangtian imperial seal to devour the starlight power. At the same time, the lingxiao jade butterfly was also plundering the starlight power.

The edge of the Black-Corner Region!

Swoosh!

A figure fell from mid-air. It was the severely wounded Gu He, his face pale and his aura withered, as he crashed heavily into the ground.

Kicking up clouds of dust.

"Gu He, surrender now!" Six streaks of light followed closely and landed on the ground.

They looked mockingly at the severely wounded Gu He, as if his life was already in their hands.

"Gu He, when you were in the Flame Alliance, you opposed this elder. Today is your end!"

A red-haired old man shouted, slowly raising his palm, preparing to end Gu He's life.

Cough, cough!

It finally came to this, Gu He thought helplessly. Looking back on his life, the first half was filled with glory as the high-and-mighty Pill King Gu He of the Jia Ma Empire.

His biggest mistake was falling in love with a woman who did not love him—the former Sect Leader of the Cloud Mist Sect, Yun Yun.

In the second half of his life, he competed in alchemy with Xiao Yan, lost by a narrow margin, and was invited to join the Flame Alliance.

With Gu He's temperament, being a pure Alchemist was no problem at all, and he was definitely capable of it; what he was least skilled at was playing power politics.

He had become the Hall Master of the Flame Alliance's Alchemy Hall, but due to internal suppression, he was reduced to being a mere elder of the Alchemy Hall.

In the end, he was actually pursued by the Flame Alliance elders, and his life was in imminent danger.

The Flame Alliance elder struck down with a palm, intending to end his life. Gu He's injuries were extremely severe, and his Dou Qi was completely exhausted; he had no power to resist.

He slowly closed his eyes, waiting for fate's judgment.

"Die..."

A deep shout rang out followed by a scream. Gu He did not feel his life ending. He slowly opened his eyes to see a familiar figure standing in front of him.

"Liu Ling?" Gu He said in disbelief.

"Teacher, your disciple has arrived late!" Liu Ling's right hand was like an iron pincer, gripping the Flame Alliance elder's neck. He turned back with a bright smile.

"The fledgling of the past has finally become an eagle soaring in the nine heavens!" Gu He felt this sentiment in his heart.

"It was you who wounded my teacher!" Liu Ling turned his head, his eyes flashing with a cold light and his voice icy as he spoke again: "It doesn't matter anymore!"

Crack!

His palm exerted a slight force, directly snapping the Flame Alliance elder's neck.

"Quick, run!" The remaining five Flame Alliance elders tried to flee!

"Too late!" Liu Ling waved his hand, and the Dazheng experts who followed him pounced on the Flame Alliance elders, engaging in fierce combat!

"Teacher, how are your injuries?" Liu Ling turned around, his face full of concern.

Immediately, he took out a healing medicinal pill from his storage ring; its quality was extremely high, a Tier 7 pill.

"A Tier 7 pill... it seems your alchemy skills have improved a lot over these years!" Gu He looked at the pill in his hand, which emitted a rich medicinal fragrance.

Very satisfied, he opened his mouth and swallowed it!

"Hahaha, your disciple's skills were all taught by Teacher!" Liu Ling said happily. Hearing a word of praise from Gu He made him happier than increasing his strength by one star.

"Let's go, Teacher. Come back to Dazheng with your disciple!" Supporting Gu He, Liu Ling headed toward the Dazheng territory in the Black-Corner Region, followed by the captured Flame Alliance elders.

Inside the Heavenly Prison!

The Blood God held the ten thousand soul banner, watching the constantly struggling Ancient Heavenly Serpent soul before him. He formed seals with his hands, and the Blood Spirit Mark emerged. With a point of his finger...

It sank into the ten thousand soul banner and was branded onto the forehead of the violently struggling Ancient Heavenly Serpent soul, instantly vanishing.

"Be good and become the fifth primary demon soul of the ten thousand soul banner!"

Hun Tiandi sneered. Imprinting the Blood Spirit Mark was only the preliminary refinement; it still required continuous refinement.

"The fifth primary demon soul, the Ancient Heavenly Serpent soul!"

A wicked smile played on his lips. He hadn't expected to collect a demon soul suitable to be a primary soul so quickly; providence was truly with him.
