Chapter 278 Refining Humans into Pills

"Heavenly Human?!"

Cui Yiting and the others exclaimed, though they showed little panic.

However, wasn't it said that apart from Tuoba Hong, the Tuoba Clan had no Heavenly Humans guarding it?

The Prince of Zhenbei frowned, unable to help but shake his head and say, "It seems my intelligence was incorrect!"

"It does not matter!"

Yan Chu smiled faintly, "Clearing minion waves is satisfying, but killing a hero is even more fulfilling."

???

A string of question marks appeared above everyone's heads. A Northern Mang Heavenly Human, what kind of hero is that?

They couldn't understand Great Hero Yan's words.

Could this be his hometown dialect?

If Zhu Qingluan were here, she would say they were making a fuss over nothing.

Yan Chu often spouted strange, incomprehensible words, and she was already used to it.

"Who dares to intrude upon my Tuoba Clan? Are you not afraid of being dried into jerky and hacked into ten thousand pieces?!!"

As the dust settled, eight figures appeared ahead. One sturdy figure among them shouted and was about to step forward, determined to kill the intruders regardless of anything else.

"Hmm? Wait a moment!"

Suddenly, the old man in the center reached out to stop him, his gaze fixed on the Prince of Zhenbei with shock and suspicion.

"It's people from the Southern Dynasty!!"

The others also noticed the attire of Yan Chu and his group at this moment, their faces showing astonishment.

Since when did people from the Southern Dynasty have the guts to come to Northern Mang?

Wasn't the border guarded by a million Wolf Riders? And there was also the Great King of the Northern Court, Helian Clan Chief, and their Tuoba Clan's Great General, Tuoba Hong and the others.

How did the other side get here?

At this moment, the old man who had stopped his clansmen looked at the Prince of Zhenbei, his expression extremely grave, and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, could you be the Prince of Zhenbei of the Southern Dynasty?"

What? The Prince of Zhenbei?

The others were shocked, then looked at the people opposite, only to realize that those people all possessed fierce Auras, none inferior to their own.

Especially two or three of them, whose Auras were on par with their Old Ancestor.

Li Shuoting's square face revealed a cold sneer, "It is I. Tuoba Clan, today is your doomsday!"

"It really is you!"

Seeing Li Shuoting admit it himself, the shock in the old man's heart was beyond measure. "You, a Heavenly Human who has opened a Divine Treasury, how did you bypass our Northern Mang Heavenly Humans and sneak in?"

Li Shuoting opened his mouth, intending to speak, but was suddenly interrupted by Yan Chu.

"Enough, we are in a rush. We still need to go to the next place, let's finish this early."

"Yes!"

Li Shuoting nodded quickly.

BOOM!

Yan Chu raised his hand and struck out with his palm, and the world immediately shook.

Compared to the palm strike Cui Yiting had just unleashed, the gap was immeasurable.

Surging fire clouds poured out majestically, the entire small mountain was covered in raging flames, and the sky for dozens of miles above was burned red.

Hun Tian Four Absolutes, Fire Cloud Palm, Heaven Fire Burning the City!

"What?!!"

The Tuoba Clan's Old Ancestor's eyes nearly popped out, terrified by this palm strike.

The overwhelming fire-attribute True Qi was terrifying.

To what extent had he excavated the power of the Divine Treasury?

"HA!"

Although extremely shocked, the Tuoba Old Ancestor did not slow down, his blood energy surging like a tide, showing no signs of aging, his physical strength even surpassing that of Tuoba Hong.

SWOOSH!

The fire cloud swept past, unstoppable.

Visibly, the Tuoba Old Ancestor maintained his punching posture, but before his fist light could travel ten feet, it was swept back by the roaring fire cloud.

The terrifying high-temperature fire Qi swept over his entire body.

His clothes burst into flames, the flesh on his fists peeled away, then his arms, like burning cloth; the flames extended toward his body, and as he was washed by the fire Qi, his flesh and blood all decomposed.

Then his bones began to melt, turning into red juice dripping down.

His Primordial Spirit did not even last a second under the impact of the fire Qi before poofing into nothingness.

Yan Chu reached out and beckoned.

The melted bones and flesh transformed under his action into a single Medicinal Pill, emitting the aroma of a Heavenly Human's flesh and blood.

This was more precious than any supreme medicine in the world.

For those lingering at the Peak of the Ninth Realm for a long time, even without a blessed land, with such a Medicinal Pill, there was a high probability of opening the Physical Body Divine Treasury.

Because this was the total essence of a veteran Heavenly Human who had also opened the Physical Body Divine Treasury.

It had also been stripped of all Impurities by Yan Chu's Fire Cloud Palm.

With one palm, the Tuoba Clan's Old Ancestor was killed, and refined into a Medicinal Pill.

As for the others of the Tuoba Clan, they had all died in the first wave of fire Qi, not even leaving behind ashes.

The Fire Cloud Palm power surged past, the city ahead was razed to the ground, and the fire burned fiercely.

This Heaven Fire Burning the City technique truly lived up to its name!

Everyone looked at this scene in horror.

Although they already understood Yan Chu's strength, every time they saw it, they still couldn't hide their shock.

That was a Heavenly Human who had opened the Physical Body Divine Treasury!

Although it was only a single Divine Treasury, his excavation of the Divine Treasury's power had definitely reached a very deep level; after all, that soaring blood energy could not be faked.

Yet, just like that, he couldn't even withstand one move from Yan Chu.

He was directly refined into a human pill!

What kind of terrifying strength was this?

"It's yours!"

At this moment, Yan Chu tossed the Medicinal Pill in his hand to Cui Yiting nonchalantly, saying, "Find a time to refine it later, and see if you can open a Divine Treasury."

"Ah?"

Cui Yiting caught it in a panic, feeling as if a giant pie had fallen from the sky and hit him on the head, leaving him dizzy.

After he reacted, it was pure ecstasy.

"Many thanks, Great Hero Yan!"

"In the future, if Great Hero Yan has any orders, I will die for you without hesitation!"

He held the human pill tightly, clasping his hands in gratitude, overjoyed.

He could feel the Medicinal Pill pulsing, as if it were alive, bringing him a powerful temptation to swallow it immediately and find a place to go into seclusion.

At this moment, he was truly immensely grateful to Yan Chu.

This was the Great Dao leading to a Heavenly Human!

If he had to collect resources for cultivation himself, he didn't know when that would happen!

Perhaps he would never achieve it until he died.

The others looked at Cui Yiting with immense envy, wishing they could snatch the Medicinal Pill from his hands.

This was the entire blood essence of a Physical Body Heavenly Human!

Hundreds of years of bitter cultivation, all turned into this single Medicinal Pill.

Such an Opportunity was truly enviable; indeed, being supported by a noble person is better than struggling by oneself for a hundred years.

Pang Chong was also somewhat envious and really wanted to snatch it.

Although he had opened two Divine Treasuries, his excavation of the Divine Treasury's power could only be considered average.

If he had such a Medicinal Pill, perhaps his Physical Body Divine Treasury could reach the level of Perfection, and his physical strength would rise several levels.

But he only thought about it.

If he really dared to snatch it, he might end up as a Medicinal Pill himself.

The Prince of Zhenbei only took one look before withdrawing his gaze, then asked, "Great Hero Yan, where are we going now?"

"Are we staying here for a while? Or heading to the next place?"

...

...

Northern Mang Imperial Court, endless tents covered the entire vast grassland.

A majestic city rose from the grassland, not inferior to some thousand-year-old majestic cities of the Great Jin Dynasty.

"SCREECH!!"

A high-pitched cry came from the distant sky, and an eagle-like figure descended from the horizon, landing on the Imperial City.

"Who goes there?!!"

The guards on the Imperial City shouted loudly, and streaks of powerful Auras locked onto that figure.

When they saw the other person's identity, they hurriedly bowed:

"Great King of the Northern Court!"

"Greetings, Great King of the Northern Court!!"

Xiao Sidao waved his hand and said urgently, "Where is the Khan? I must request an audience with the Khan immediately."

The leading guard replied hurriedly, "The Khan is enjoying song and dance in the Kaihuang Hall, and the Left Worthy King, the Great Chanyu, and the Great Commandant are also there."

Hearing this, Xiao Sidao's figure vanished with a swoosh, and he rushed toward the Kaihuang Hall.

Before he even approached the hall door, clear orchestral music drifted out from the great hall, accompanied by the sounds of the Northern Mang's unique instruments, the Hu Jia and the horse-head fiddle, plus wanton, wild laughter.

Xiao Sidao landed in front of the hall, adjusted his collar, and stepped into the hall.

The guards outside the hall knew Xiao Sidao; he was a core high official of Northern Mang, so there was no need to report.

"Oh? The Great King of the Northern Court is back?"

Several people in the hall had already noticed Xiao Sidao, and the curly-haired old man sitting on the upper left side looked over with a smile:

"Was the trip smooth? With the Wolf God sacred object bestowed by the High Priest, you must have already caught the thieves and retrieved the other sacred object, right?"

This curly-haired old man was none other than the Northern Mang Left Worthy King, Luan Di Gulang.

He belonged to the Northern Mang royal family.

Hearing him speak, the others in the great hall all looked over.

Even the scantily clad dancers, who were dancing various bold Hu dances to the music, stopped their movements.

"Why did you stop?"

"Continue playing! Keep dancing!"

Only the Khan, Luan Di Tianye, sitting at the head of the great hall, lazily made a sound like muffled thunder.

All the musicians and dancers hurriedly started playing and dancing again.

Luan Di Tianye had a tall figure, a rugged face, and deep-set eye sockets, carrying a distinct exotic style.

He wore a black cloak, his chest bare, and without even looking at Xiao Sidao, he enthusiastically enjoyed the song and dance before him.

Xiao Sidao's face sank, but he said nothing, instead walking silently to the side of the Left Worthy King, Luan Di Gulang, and whispering about what had happened not long ago.

Khan Luan Di Tianye was brutal by nature and had killed his father to ascend to the throne.

Within Northern Mang, various factions had often criticized the legitimacy of his succession, and there was no shortage of infighting and backstabbing in daily life.

If not for the support of the High Priest, Luan Di Tianye's position might not have been secure.

Luan Di Gulang acted as a mediator between the Khan and the ministers, and many things were handled by him.

Hearing Xiao Sidao's words, Luan Di Gulang's pupils contracted, and stormy waves rose in his heart; he could no longer appreciate the beautiful song and dance.

He turned his head slowly and asked in a deep voice, "Is what you said true?"

"Absolutely true!"

Xiao Sidao nodded affirmatively, "That person is a Heavenly Human who has recently risen in the Southern Dynasty, far surpassing ordinary Heavenly Humans. Pucha Yunlie and Huyan Zhuori and others all died at his hands."

SWOOSH!

Luan Di Gulang stood up abruptly, and a terrifying Aura revived in the great hall, causing the beautiful dancers and musicians to stop again.

The Great Chanyu and other high officials who were beating time to the music also stopped and looked over. Khan Luan Di Tianye swept a cold gaze over, his expression showing no change.

"Khan, something big has happened!"

Luan Di Gulang's one sentence made Luan Di Tianye's eyes narrow slightly.

He glanced at Xiao Sidao, waved his hand, and the musicians and dancers in the great hall exited one by one. Only then did Luan Di Tianye ask unhurriedly, "What happened?"

Xiao Sidao told the story he had just narrated once more.

When the story was finished, the great hall was instantly silent. The others, like Luan Di Gulang, could not believe it.

The Great Commandant Huyan Qing stood up and asked urgently:

"Wasn't the Second Priest carrying the Wolf God sacred object? How could he die? How could anyone in the world be the Wolf God's opponent?"

Xiao Sidao glanced at him and said faintly, "The Wolf God's power is not invincible either; after all, it is just a negligible power projected down by the god."

"This..."

Huyan Qing could not help but look at Luan Di Tianye.

At this moment, the Khan had already slowly stood up, but there was little worry or fear on his face, only a powerful self-confidence and arrogance, with a trace of a contemptuous smile as he said:

"Apart from those few Buddhist and Daoist Holy Lands, the Southern Dynasty actually has such an expert!"

"In that case, I will have to meet him!"

"Report—!!"

Just then, the report of the Imperial Court guards came from outside the hall:

"The Holy Land's Fire-Controlling Envoy requests an audience!"

Everyone looked forward, and they saw a young man in white robes walking from outside the hall; it was the Longevity Cult Fire-Controlling Envoy who served beside the High Priest.

The Fire-Controlling Envoy brought news from the High Priest:

"The eternal heaven has sent down an oracle, our Northern Mang will face an impending disaster!"

...

...

"Find a place first, let Cui Yiting refine the Medicinal Pill, and see if he can achieve a Breakthrough."

Yan Chu ordered faintly.

"Good!"

The Prince of Zhenbei and the others nodded. If Cui Yiting could successfully achieve a Breakthrough, then their trip would gain another Heavenly Human, and the journey would be much smoother.

Thus, everyone leaped into the air and left, heading toward another mountain not far from here.

When they left, the herdsmen and slaves at the foot of the mountain, watching the raging fire that had almost burned the entire mountain, finally began to cheer.

"The Tuoba Clan is finished!! They are all dead!!!"

"The eternal heaven is above! It must be that the eternal heaven heard our prayers!!"

"Hurry and see if there is anything to snatch, let's grab it and run..."

"..."

In a cave not far from the Tuoba Clan's territory, Yan Chu summoned his panel.

[host: Yan Chu]

[Cultivation: Divine Treasury Realm Heavenly Human (Spiritual Divine Treasury, Qi Sea Divine Treasury)]

[Cultivation Technique: Heaven-Changing Earth-Striking Great Art (Mastering Reincarnation 2159391 / 3000000), Ten Suns Sacred Fire (Blue Flame 2333900 / 3000000)]

[Martial Skill: Hun Tian Four Absolutes (Perfection)]

[Divine Ability: Tear]

[Experience Points: 2193000]

Killing everyone in the Tuoba Clan had gained him over two million experience points.

Taking a deep breath, Yan Chu first raised the mastery level of the Heaven-Changing Earth-Striking Great Art's Mastering Reincarnation to Perfection.

HUM!

He only felt a resonant, bell-like humming sound in his mind, and his entire Primordial Spirit felt as if it were being torn apart and reorganized.

A brilliant golden light overflowed from within his Primordial Spirit, becoming impervious to all evil and indestructible by all laws.

His Primordial Spirit automatically manifested from his Sea of Consciousness, turning into a thousand-foot-tall figure, sitting cross-legged in the air above the high heavens.

"What is that?!!"

Li Shuoting and the others, who were chatting at the foot of the mountain, looked at the golden giant shadow in shock.

From that figure, they felt a terrifying and inexplicable pressure.

It was as if a god from another world had come, looking down at them.

Even if they were Heavenly Humans, as long as the other party gave a single glance, they would be killed.
