After swallowing the pill, Ye Tian was twisted, dark, foaming at the mouth, in pain, and crawling.

Boom!

A thunderous roar echoed across the sky, and Ye Tian, who was rushing towards the treasure vault, also felt the tremendous sound.

He looked back, his pupils shrinking.

“Damn it, how could this happen?”

Ye Tian secretly thought it was bad; an anomaly occurred before he even entered the treasure vault.

The divine thunder filling the sky made his heart tremble.

“What terrifying divine thunder. I feel like my lightning technique is like dirt compared to it.”

More importantly, such a huge commotion would definitely attract many people.

Looking from afar, he could already see many figures rushing towards this place.

With no time to hesitate, Ye Tian desperately rushed forward, needing to seize the initiative.

Enduring the tearing pain of his wounds, Ye Tian used all his strength to rush towards the treasure vault.

The Thunder Dragon emerging from the sea caused monstrous waves, carrying boundless might that spread across every inch of the mountains and rivers, attracting tens of thousands of Cultivators.

Every step Ye Tian took forward, the wounds on his body tore further, bleeding profusely.

“Just a little more, just a little more.”

He gritted his teeth and persevered.

In the past, he could have instantly covered a distance of ten thousand miles.

But just now, he had experienced a bloody battle with two Puppet Dragon Generals and had used a lightning technique that exchanged injury for power, so his body was already battered.

The distance that he could normally cover in an instant now seemed unattainable; every mile flown was an immense torment.

More and more auras were converging on this place.

Ye Tian hardened his heart, ignoring the wounds on his body, and charged out with all his might.

The wounds tore open in the sea, like pulling out threads of blood.

“I’m here.”

Without the Dragon General's protection, the Formation shield in front of him was as fragile as paper before the broken blade, tearing with a single stroke, but his movements were cautious, and he did not cause widespread destruction.

Because with his current injuries, he had no way to seize it.

“I must enter the door without damaging the Formation.”

He was extremely careful, using the broken blade to tear a small opening in the Formation. Taking advantage of the brief moment before the Formation healed, Ye Tian immediately pushed open the door and rushed in.

Before the door closed, he repeatedly confirmed that the Formation was healing and closing, only then did he feel relieved.

“With the Formation separating us, even if the people outside want to come in, they’ll have to expend great effort, and during this time, this place is my domain.”

“After all, not everyone is as lucky as me, with the guidance of the Immortal Blade Fragment.”

“Hahahahaha…”

Ye Tian closed the door and laughed up to the sky. This was the Dragon Clan’s treasure vault, surely containing an immense amount of treasures, so many that he wouldn’t be able to use them all in a lifetime.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a colorful box glowing with treasure light on the ground.

This treasure box was entirely enveloped in divine light, radiating a myriad of phenomena, with runes flowing on its surface, as if it contained the rhythm of the Great Dao.

“Is it that my Luck is too good, or that this Dragon Palace is too wealthy, with treasures everywhere?”

With a wave of his hand, the treasure box in front of him flew into his grasp.

He did not open it immediately, but instead extended his Divine Sense to cover the entire treasure vault.

“Eh, there are so many palaces here. Are they all filled with treasures?”

Ye Tian was ecstatic. His Divine Sense extended outwards, and everywhere he perceived were magnificent palaces, golden bricks and red pillars, green tiles and glazed roofs, and a ground paved with white jade, utterly luxurious.

“This must be a treasure land!”

Just then, waves of fluctuations emanated from the protective Formation outside the door, and noisy clamor transmitted through the Formation.

“What the hell is this?”

“This is definitely a great Opportunity. What a magnificent palace, could it be the sleeping quarters of some important figure?”

“Just pry open the door and you’ll know.”

“But this Formation is so strong, I don’t think we can open it.”

“Get out of the way, I’ll do it.”

“Can you do it? You scrawny dog.”

“Just watch.”

The next moment, a mysterious fluctuation permeated from outside the door, causing Ye Tian to feel the ground beneath his feet tremble uncontrollably.

Ye Tian, being within the Formation, could immediately sense that the people outside were working together to break the Formation.

“It seems I must speed up. The more people there are, the less I’ll get.”

Just as Ye Tian was about to move, he suddenly felt something. The broken blade was vibrating wildly, as if hinting at something.

He took out the treasure box and examined it carefully, then took out the trembling broken blade.

Suddenly, he remembered that before entering the Dragon Palace, the fragment of the Immortal Blade was already trembling, seemingly indicating something.

The Immortal Blade was warning him, danger!!

But in Ye Tian’s eyes, it was taken as the call of destiny!

“Could it be that what’s inside this box is the treasure the broken blade is guiding me to?”

Highly likely!!

Otherwise, why would this broken blade vibrate so intensely?

He increasingly felt this was a treasure, and immediately opened the treasure box. Inside, a Medicinal Pill glowing with green light, exuding a fragrant medicinal scent, and full of vitality appeared.

Just the diffused medicinal scent made the Immortal Qi on his body a bit more concentrated.

“What a wondrous Medicinal Pill!”

He constantly paid attention to the broken blade; as soon as he opened the box, the blade's vibration became even more intense, and a stronger sense of danger emanated from it.

Seeing this, Ye Tian became even more excited!

For the Immortal Blade to be so agitated, it further confirmed his thoughts.

This was definitely a Medicinal Pill beyond his imagination!

“No need to be too excited, it’s just a small Medicinal Pill, nothing to be concerned about.” He soothed the broken blade’s emotions and put it back into his Sea of Consciousness.

And at this moment, the vibrations outside the door became even more violent, as if they were about to break through the door the next second.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Tian decided to consume the Medicinal Pill first.

“My injuries are too severe right now; just a few thousand miles nearly took my old life.”

“To search this treasure vault, I must first heal my injuries.”

“This healing Immortal Pill came at the perfect time. This rich vitality, this boundless life force, it’s simply tailor-made for my healing.”

Immediately, Ye Tian took out the Medicinal Pill and swallowed it directly.

He immediately activated his Cultivation Technique, mobilizing the magic power in all his Meridians to flush the Medicinal Pill, accelerating its refinement.

The vitality on the surface of the Medicinal Pill spread throughout his body under the flushing of the magic power. The surging life force frantically promoted the growth of his muscles; the bloody wounds healed at a visible speed, and the visible bones were also enveloped.

“As expected of an Immortal Pill, it took effect as soon as I swallowed it. Its grade is definitely above a third-grade Immortal Pill!”

Ye Tian was greatly surprised. He had never seen such a Medicinal Pill before, one that took effect so quickly.

Thinking of this, he became even more focused, attempting to quickly refine the Medicinal Pill to heal his wounds and search for treasures.

And the Medicinal Pill did not disappoint him. In just a moment, his previously battered body was as good as new, as if he had never been injured.

“The superficial wounds have healed, but the damage to the Meridians is still there. Let’s push a bit harder.”

Ye Tian continued to refine the Medicinal Pill, but soon, a mysterious white Qi emanated from within the Medicinal Pill, seemingly real yet unreal.

The white Qi frantically flushed his body, and as if conscious, it transformed into hundreds of millions of tiny blade-like fragments, surging throughout his body.

Everywhere it went, it caused injury.

His body was injured inch by inch; his Meridians, bones, and muscles were all cut and bruised by the blade-like fragments formed by the white Qi.

The pain of a thousand cuts and ten thousand slices did not compare to a fraction of it.

“What’s going on? What is this thing?!”

Ye Tian was drenched in sweat, as if he had put on a mask of pain.

He looked within himself, only to see countless small white blades running rampant in his body, colliding wildly and cutting his body painfully.

It was like ten thousand arrows piercing his heart, no, even more vicious than ten thousand arrows piercing his heart. Each small white blade specifically plunged into his fragile areas, drawing out drops of fresh blood.

This wasn't enough; the number of small white blades was too great, and they began to spread to other areas: brain, pupils, skin, bone marrow, etc. The small white blades were pervasive.

“Ah ah ah…”

“Wah wah wah…”

Ye Tian, who had been quietly meditating, cried out in pain. His expression twitched, his face contorted, and tears streamed down his face from the agony.

The intense pain, as if countless tiny blade-like fragments were tearing at his body inch by inch, was unbearable. He tore off his clothes and rolled on the ground, attempting to rub his incredibly itchy body against the uneven stone surface.

His skin cracked inch by inch, and he turned into a blood-soaked person.

“It hurts so much, it hurts, it’s killing me.”

“What kind of Medicinal Pill is this? How can it be so painful?”

Ye Tian rolled on the ground in agony.

One characteristic of a Child of Destiny is that their fingernails are very sharp and long, which came in handy.

Ye Tian used his long fingernails to frantically scratch his body, leaving streaks of blood, like a deranged patient self-mutilating.

Ye Tian wanted to die, in the physical sense of the word.

He had cultivated to this day, having hovered on the brink of death countless times, experiencing things like limb regeneration, bone healing after shattering, Meridian rupture and reorganization, and recovery from partial paralysis, and so on…

He had experienced it all.

But never before had it been as painful as this, making him want to die.

Just as he was about to despair, the white Qi actually transformed into tiny white lights, seeping into his body. The torn wounds miraculously healed.

And they were even tougher than before!

“This is?”

Feeling this slight change, Ye Tian endured the pain and observed carefully.

“I understand!”

“The quality of this Immortal Pill absolutely exceeded my imagination. After all, it’s the Secret Realm of the Eternal Saint King, so it’s normal for the Medicinal Pill to be a bit special.”

“It’s highly possible it has been influenced by Saintly Rhyme! Otherwise, the Immortal Blade wouldn’t have vibrated so excitedly upon seeing it.”

“It’s highly possible that this is a Medicinal Pill influenced by the Eternal Saint King, and those small white blade-like fragments are very likely Saint Qi, though not pure Saint Qi, just a tiny trace of it.”

The more Ye Tian thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. He had seen many ordinary Medicinal Pills, but this was the first time he had encountered a Medicinal Pill with such strong aggressiveness.

Since it was Saint Qi, it seemed quite normal for it to be a bit aggressive.

Although it was very painful, after the pain, his body miraculously healed and became even tougher.

This was definitely a supreme treasure; he had to endure!

“Isn’t it just a little pain? It’s nothing!”

Ye Tian hardened his heart and continued to endure the torment. He even forced himself to sit upright and circulate his Cultivation Technique to assist the white blades in piercing his body.

The white blades were a bit confused, ‘Uh, no resistance, and even providing assistance?’

“The more pain, the stronger I become!!” Ye Tian gritted his teeth, his gaze resolute, as he persisted.

If Xiao Fan were to see this, he would definitely think Ye Tian had a problem with his brain. Isn't cultivation for enjoyment? If it's so painful, then it's better not to cultivate.

He sees things more clearly, he only loves the joy of dual cultivation, hehehehehe…

Time passed minute by minute, second by second. Ye Tian's spirit was constantly tense; every second, he endured the pain of being cut countless times.

At first, it was very painful, but gradually, he became numb and could no longer feel the pain.

And he was covered in sweat, completely exhausted.

It took a full month for Ye Tian to refine the Medicinal Pill. His cultivation also reached the Early Stage of Earth Immortal, and his strength greatly increased.

“Hahaha, my hard work was not in vain, this month of suffering was not endured for nothing.”

“I’ve reached the Early Stage of Earth Immortal!”

Not only were all his wounds healed, but he also felt his entire body was lighter and tougher than before.

However, he had just refined the Medicinal Pill, and his physical strength had not yet recovered, so he was still very weak.

“Alright, it’s time to search for treasures.”

He endured his weakness and stood up, wanting to go out and search for treasures, but outside the door, there was a dull, earth-shattering roar.

The great Formation was receding, and the tightly closed door slowly opened. A white light shone into the treasure vault, slowly illuminating the entire vault.

At the same time, it also revealed Ye Tian’s figure.

“What’s going on? Is there someone inside?” Someone outside the door exclaimed.

Ye Tian's heart tightened as he looked at the tens of thousands of Cultivators outside the door.

Not good, refining the Medicinal Pill took too long, so much so that the great Formation was broken, and he didn't even react in time.

The situation was very unfavorable for him.
