163: A divine eye? A blind man? (Forty-eight)

The Nine-Colored Double Pupils bloomed in response.

Jun Yun's aura surged along with it, breaking straight into the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

Alone, he faced the inescapable net of three True God Realm Old Ancestors and dozens of Grotto-Heaven Realm experts.

"Kill!!"

The Old Ancestors of the three major Sects didn't bother wasting any more words.

The pressure of the True God Realm bore down directly on Jun Yun.

Simultaneously, those dozen or so Grotto-Heaven Realm experts launched their attacks once more.

The great battle was on the verge of breaking out.

Jun Yun's figure flickered through the energy storm, as fast as a phantom.

The Nine-Colored Divine Fire enveloped his entire body. He wielded his sword with effortless grace, each strike carrying a sharp edge that could tear through the Laws.

He pushed the power of his Double Pupils to the limit, predicting the trajectory of every attack in advance and interfering with his opponents' spiritual energy flow.

Boom!

With one sword strike, Jun Yun shattered the Magic Treasure of a Grotto-Heaven Realm Late Stage Elder, but following closely behind was a finger wind from a True God Old Ancestor.

That finger wind looked ordinary, but it contained devastating power of the Laws.

Jun Yun's eyes sharpened as he forcibly shifted his body sideways.

The finger wind grazed his shoulder, leaving a trail of blood.

Even though his strength had increased greatly after refining the Divine Fire, facing three True Gods at once still brought immense pressure.

His spiritual energy was being consumed rapidly.

On the other side, You Chen's situation was far more perilous.

His injuries hadn't healed, and he was currently holding on solely through sheer willpower.

He was facing a siege by several Grotto-Heaven Realm experts.

"Pfft!"

You Chen parried a long saber with his broken spear, but his back was struck by a heavy hammer from the other side.

He stumbled, spitting out another mouthful of blood.

His movements began to slow down.

Yet his gaze remained fierce.

He was protecting the person behind him with his life.

For Jun Yun's sake, he blocked all attacks coming from the rear.

"Deal with this nuisance first!"

A Grotto-Heaven Realm Elder from the Cold Ice Valley noticed the issue.

He exchanged a look with the others, and they immediately reached a consensus.

The four Grotto-Heaven Realm experts simultaneously abandoned their skirmish with You Chen and instead unleashed their strongest killing moves.

Four powerful forces struck from four directions, sealing off all of You Chen's escape routes.

You Chen felt the threat of death.

He looked back at Jun Yun, who was in the middle of a fierce battle with the three True Gods.

There was no regret in his eyes.

Only a hint of apology for not being able to help more.

He prepared to burn his Divine Soul to make a final stand.

Right then.

A streak of light pierced through the sky.

That light looked soft, yet it carried an irresistible power.

Boom!

The combined strike of the four Grotto-Heaven Realm experts was dispersed by that streak of light.

All four of them groaned simultaneously, forced back dozens of yards by the shockwave.

The light dissipated.

A woman in a plain long dress with a cold and elegant temperament landed in front of You Chen.

A thin veil covered her face, making it impossible to see her features, but her eyes were completely tranquil.

The woman didn't look at anyone.

She reached out a finger and lightly tapped You Chen's forehead.

A vast and pure surge of vitality was transferred into You Chen's body.

The injuries in You Chen's near-collapsing body immediately stabilized.

"You..."

You Chen spoke weakly, wanting to ask who she was.

But the woman didn't pay him any attention at all.

She lifted the heavily injured You Chen with one hand and, with a flicker of her body, prepared to leave the battlefield.

"Stop!!"

A True God Old Ancestor from the Heavenly Elixir Sect noticed the commotion.

His brow furrowed as he struck a palm toward the woman from a distance.

He could sense that this woman's strength was not simple and her Origin was mysterious.

The woman didn't even turn her head.

She simply gave a backhanded flick of her sleeve.

A soft barrier appeared out of thin air.

The True God Old Ancestor's powerful palm strike landed on the barrier and was actually barely neutralized.

"Hmm?"

The faces of the three True God Old Ancestors were filled with shock and suspicion.

They couldn't see through the woman's Origin or heritage.

Without stopping for a moment, the woman took You Chen and turned into a streak of light, quickly disappearing over the horizon.

From beginning to end, she hadn't spared Jun Yun a single glance.

It was as if whether Jun Yun lived or died had absolutely nothing to do with her.

Jun Yun's Double Pupils saw everything.

He didn't stop her.

Because he knew that in his current state, he couldn't stop her.

"As expected of a child of destiny, truly hard to kill..."

Without You Chen there to distract them, the pressure on Jun Yun instantly more than doubled.

He began to get injured.

Blood stained his clothes red.

The three True Gods thought victory was in their grasp.

The greed in their eyes grew increasingly fervent.

As long as they killed this blind man, that supreme Nine-Colored Divine Fire would be theirs.

However, a turning point in the battle appeared in a way that no one expected.

Seeing that he couldn't take him down after a long time, the Heavenly Elixir Sect's Old Ancestor's gaze turned ruthless.

As a True God from an alchemy-based Sect, what he excelled at was not simple spiritual energy suppression, but his attainments in the Dao of Alchemy.

"Taste my 'Bone-Dissolving Divine Sand'!"

He gave a low shout.

He flicked his finger.

A hazy gray bead shot toward Jun Yun.

The bead exploded in mid-air.

Turning into billions of dust particles.

Instantly enveloping the space where Jun Yun was.

Every grain of dust was a highly toxic alchemical creation, capable of corroding spiritual energy and melting flesh.

This was one of his proudest techniques.

Facing this unavoidable and malicious attack, Jun Yun's actions shocked everyone.

He neither dodged nor avoided it.

He even put away the sword in his hand.

Jun Yun simply raised his hand and opened his palm.

A cluster of Nine-Colored Divine Fire burned quietly.

He didn't activate the Divine Fire to burn those toxic sands.

Instead, he performed an extremely delicate manipulation.

The Nine-Colored Divine Fire turned into a miniature vortex in his palm.

The "Bone-Dissolving Divine Sand" flying all over the sky seemed to be drawn by an invisible force.

They all converged toward that flaming vortex.

A bizarre scene occurred.

Those malicious and toxic dust particles were not incinerated the moment they touched the Nine-Colored Divine Fire.

Instead, they were like melting ice and snow.

They were decomposed.

They were purified.

They were restored to their most original medicinal essences.

Tiny, brilliant specks of light separated from the flaming vortex, floating in mid-air in a kaleidoscope of colors.

The previous sinister aura vanished completely.

In its place was a refreshing and pure medicinal fragrance.

The battle even came to a momentary halt because of this.

The Old Ancestors of the Blazing Flame Gate and Cold Ice Valley looked bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

But the Old Ancestor of the Heavenly Elixir Sect was filled with horror.

His body was trembling uncontrollably.

His eyes were fixed on those floating specks of light, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.

"Unraveling the Dao with the Dao..."

He muttered to himself, his voice filled with fear and an unbelievable frenzy.

This was no ordinary Divine Ability technique.

This was the Dao of Alchemy.

It was the supreme attainment of the Dao of Alchemy!

Forcibly reversing the refining process of already-made Medicinal Pills or poisons, restoring them to their purest original essences.

There was only one title for someone with such a technique.

"Pill God..."

The Heavenly Elixir Sect Old Ancestor's voice was hoarse, as if he had used up all his strength.

Pill God!

These two words caused the souls of the other two True God Old Ancestors to shake violently.

They instantly understood the reason for the Heavenly Elixir Sect Old Ancestor's loss of composure.

Jun Yun did not answer.

He simply beckoned casually.

Among those floating medicinal essences, a green speck of light representing vitality drifted slowly toward him and merged into the wound on his shoulder.

The wound healed rapidly.

This single action was more powerful than any answer.

Enough.

This already explained everything.
