Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 1819 Pure Power

He lifted the bottle and poured the single pill into his mouth. He tasted the somewhat spicy taste of the pill and at the next second, he swallowed it.

At the first second, the pill simply went down to his stomach, doing absolutely nothing. But as the pill began dissolving in his stomach, the energy that the pill contained started pouring out from within him.

And the energy that came out was something that he could not believe.

Zhou Linfan\'s face changed immediately, a dreadful look surfacing as he felt the terrifying energy move through his body, giving a sensation of a hungry predator walking through a valley where only prey lived.

And no matter how much the predator ate, it was still hungry at the end.

The energy started devouring Zhou Linfan from the inside, first devouring his Qi, and then his body.

Veins popped up all over his face and neck as golden red light crept through the veins, leaving behind smoke that came out of the man\'s pores.

Alex and the others moved away from Zhou Linfan to give him space as they saw the change that came to him. Alex watched in shock full of horror at the changes that were appearing on Zhou Linfan\'s body.

Zhou Linfan\'s skin started looking older and older, with dark spots appearing on them as though parts of his skin were dying because of the pill.

Zhou Linfan grunted and gritted his teeth as the pain became nearly unbearable. Black and white specks floated around in his vision, spots of light making it hard to see everything clearly.

He felt his throat burn while a loud ringing sound drowned every other noise in the sky where he flew.

Once his Qi and Body were devoured, the pill\'s energy started devouring his soul as well, making him weaker and weaker.

Zhou Linfan couldn\'t even tell if the energy had reached his dantian or not. He couldn\'t tell how much longer he would remain a cultivator.

Things changed, but one thing remained the same.

Pain.

Pain filled every inch of his body, a constant pain that he got used to very quickly. Once he overcame the pain and difficulties that came with the pill, he finally noticed what he had gained from the pill.

Power. Pure unadulterated power.

He lifted his sword and saw his white knuckles, his lack of muscles as it was all eaten away. But even with that, he had power.

However, he could tell it would not remain for too long. The pill he ate was just way too strong for him to be able to survive on it any longer.

If he didn\'t act right away, it would all be for naught.

\'Just 1 attack,\' Zhou Linfan thought. That was all he needed.

"Get me there," he said through gritted teeth. "Now."

Alex nodded and acted as per their plan.

He palmed Zhou Linfan on the back, putting aside the immense panic he felt at the uncontrolled Immortal strength that emanated from the old man, and poured Teleportation Dao into the man.

Surprisingly, there wasn\'t much resistance for Alex at all. He could understand that whatever power was given to Zhou Linfan, it was not Qi or any sort of aura. It was simply power in its purest form.

Pure energy.

He activated the teleportation formation and sent Zhou Linfan away.

Zhou Linfan teleported with his sword already swinging and saw the scenery in front of him change from a large open area before him to having the Dragon Emperor right in front of him.

The Dragon Emperor turned to look at him even as he arrived and saw the wild look of horror and fear that appeared in his eyes.

\'That\'s it,\' Zhou Linfan thought. \'That is what you will feel as you die.\'

Then with his last thought, he attacked the Dragon Emperor.

The Dragon Emperor had been prepared for many attacks, but this one had still caught him off-guard. Even so, his thousands of years of training and battle instinct acted up at the same time to help him in his situation.

The Dragon Emperor didn\'t even have to wonder what was happening with Zhou Linfan to know that if he didn\'t do anything, he would die for certain.

So, the very first he thought he had was to distance himself from Zhou Linfan and his sword swing.

The Dao of Space Expansion worked in but a moment to add space between the Dragon Emperor and Zhou Linfan. He pushed it to the limit to pour enough space between the two of them that despite initially being right next to each other, by the very next instant, he and Zhou Linfan were nearly a hundred meters away.

However, even that much distance would be nothing for Zhou Linfan in his current situation to kill me, that much the Dragon Emperor knew for certain.

He wanted to fuel his spear with Immortal Qi and attack back, but he had just done so to fight back against Yan Yating and the others who were distracting him.

Not to mention, instinct told him that even if he used any technique, he would still die if he did not protect himself.

As such, the Dragon Emperor reached into his Storage Ring and pulled out the Golden Dragon shield that he had put away in fear of losing durability throughout the battle.

Even as he pulled out the shield, Zhou Linfan was already upon him, swinging his sword down on him.

The Dragon Emperor\'s eyes widened in fear, for if this did not work, he would die.

Zhou Linfan could feel his life racing away from him with each moment, so he could not waste any longer. He saw the shield appear between him and the Dragon Emperor, but it was only a Saint shield. Without the Dragon Emperor using Immortal Qi, it was useless.

So, he swung down hard to kill the Dragon Emperor through the shield.

His sword, empowered by the Dao of Cutting and the Dao of Crystals, was so strong at the moment that it was unlikely that there had been any Saints in the past tens of thousands of years that had been as strong as he was right now.

Zhou Linfan\'s sword passed through the Golden Dragon shield as easily as though he were back in the kitchen slicing through butter.

There was barely any resistance to the shield as it was cut down and the sword landed on the Dragon Emperor.

The sword struck the Dragon Emperor on his left shoulder, cutting through it with slightly more difficulty than the shield. Even so, there was barely enough resistance for Zhou Linfan.

He watched as his sword cut through the Dragon Emperor\'s left shoulder, digging deeper through the chest until it was right next to his heart.

The Dragon Emperor looked at Zhou Linfan through the broken shield, and even as he came close to being killed, he believed it with all his heart.

He wouldn\'t die here.
