Chapter 2300: Chapter 2347: Dog Bites Dog

In the Void.

Aboard the paper crane, sensing the increasingly rich aura of the Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill, the woman in the magnificent purple dress could no longer suppress her excitement. She covered her red lips, preventing herself from making a sound, lest she disturb Jiang Fan, who was in the midst of Alchemy.

She had actually won the bet! To encounter an Eight-star Soul Master in the vast Void! What were the astronomical odds of this happening? She stared unblinkingly at the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod, her eyes full of anticipation.

SCREECH—

A sharp cry that pierced the Void suddenly echoed throughout the universe. Her gaze instantly sharpened as she looked into the distance.

Jiang Fan, currently focused on his Alchemy, also had a slight change in expression. He had heard this phoenix cry several times and was incredibly familiar with it.

The Source Soul Heaven Pill!

If this pill was here, did that mean the Tongyuan Realm Master was also present? A sense of crisis spontaneously arose within him. The Tongyuan Realm Master’s Soul Power was still terrifyingly strong. Anyone below the Three Calamities Realm could have their soul eradicated in a single encounter. The woman in the magnificent purple dress before him wouldn’t be able to fend him off.

As if misfortunes never came singly, in the sensory net he had cast, a golden afterimage flickered and vanished. Before he could react, an unparalleled, terrifying pressure descended from above. Looking up, he saw a majestic middle-aged man with nine pairs of golden wings on his back hovering in the air.

"East Emperor Great Angel?"

Jiang Fan’s pupils contracted. No wonder he was so fast. He was from the Angel Clan, the most adept at flight in all the heavens—and a top-level Nine-winged Great Angel at that! His heart sank.

This East Emperor Great Angel was no benevolent saint! Not long ago, this man had appeared near Central Earth with murderous intent, intending to intercept and kill him. Had the paper crane not been a step faster, Jiang Fan would likely have perished just outside Central Earth. It was bad enough that the Tongyuan Realm Master might be here, but now an East Emperor Great Angel had arrived as well. It would be difficult to even use the paper crane to escape now. When flying at full speed, the East Emperor’s speed slightly outmatched the paper crane.

"It’s you?" The East Emperor locked his gaze on the person performing Alchemy at first glance, obvious astonishment flashing through his eyes. He never imagined that the Eight-star Soul Master he anticipated would turn out to be Jiang Fan of Central Earth! How had he not died at the hands of the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis?

Soon after, murderous intent surged, but he quickly suppressed it. The Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill was about to be born. If he killed Jiang Fan now, the Heavenly Pill would surely be ruined. It wouldn’t be too late to kill him once the Heavenly Pill descended.

SCREECH—

The Source Soul Heaven Pill sped over, leaving a trail of multicolored, radiant fluorescence in its wake. The Tongyuan Realm Master trailed closely behind it.

The East Emperor narrowed his eyes. "Another medium-tier Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill? And a special Soul Body?" He stared at the peacock that the Source Soul Heaven Pill had transformed into, his eyes revealing pure greed.

A medium-tier Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill—no one in the current heavens was capable of refining one. The ones existing in the world today were all relics preserved from the Daqian Divine Kingdom Era.

However, the Source Soul Heaven Pill had originally been drawn here by sensing the new Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill. Upon realizing the situation was unfavorable, its eyes darted around, and it decisively turned around to flee. With a flash of its wings, it vanished entirely from this expanse of heaven and earth.

The East Emperor hesitated for a moment. He might not be able to catch up to that pill. Moreover, it was highly likely that the Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill about to be born here would be snatched away by that special Soul Body. Thus, suppressing his greed, he remained hovering above the paper crane. With a flicker of his gaze, the wings on his back folded inward, wrapping around him, and he vanished from where he stood. Along with his aura, he disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Fan, meanwhile, glanced in the direction the Source Soul Heaven Pill had fled and silently cursed the damn bird. It had lured the Tongyuan Realm Master here, only to run away itself! The current situation was exceedingly dire. Regardless of whether the East Emperor or the Tongyuan Realm Master won, Jiang Fan wouldn’t meet a good end.

Thinking of this, he secretly sent a sound transmission to the woman in the magnificent purple dress:

"Fairy, neither of these two are decent individuals.

"Especially that Nine-winged Great Angel from your noble clan; he’s the worst of the lot."

The woman in the magnificent purple dress gave Jiang Fan a peculiar look. She then stared at where the East Emperor had been, snorting softly through her nose as she transmitted back, "On that point, I wholeheartedly agree."

Seeing that the two angels seemingly didn’t get along, Jiang Fan felt slightly relieved. At least he had one ally on his side. He continued his transmission, "Hold your ground. Wait until the two of them tear each other apart like dogs. Once they’re both severely wounded, you can pilot the paper crane and escape."

The woman in the magnificent purple dress nodded lightly, deploying a massive expanse of Holy Light to protect Jiang Fan and the Pill Furnace. This was to prevent the impending great battle from affecting the Alchemy process.

A moment later.

The Tongyuan Realm Master utilized Instantaneous Movement, appearing nearby. His blazing gaze fixed on the source of the pill’s fragrance. When he saw that the one performing Alchemy was Jiang Fan, profound astonishment flashed across his expression.

"It’s actually you performing Alchemy?

"Fine by me. You let this Boundary Master’s Heavenly Pill escape, so I’ll just take this one of yours as compensation!"

But right at this moment, he suddenly sensed a sharp and intense crisis. His Soul Body abruptly transformed into a thousand-foot Soul Long Saber, slashing toward a certain direction.

SLICE—

Golden arcs of light splattered, and several feathers radiating a golden luster fell from the sky. The East Emperor’s figure materialized. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at his wing, his gaze darkening. "What potent Soul Power. It can actually harm my physical body."

Not far away, the Soul Long Saber that the Tongyuan Realm Master had transformed into reverted to human form, though his body had become a fraction thinner. Clearly, he hadn’t gained the upper hand just now.

The Tongyuan Realm Master sneered, "So it’s a Nine-winged Great Angel. You think you’re worthy to snatch a Heavenly Pill from this Boundary Master?"

"Boundary Master?" The East Emperor’s eyes narrowed, revealing a grave expression. "No wonder Your Excellency’s soul is so extraordinary. So you were once a Boundary Master."

Suddenly, sensing the faint Yin Qi emanating from the other party, his voice sank. "Don’t tell me you are one of the two from the Hell Realm ten thousand years ago—either Yellow Springs or Tongyuan?"

Threads of murderous intent veiled his face. It was true that enemies saw red when they met. The Heavenly Realm and the Hell Realm were races that had been slaughtering each other since the Daqian Divine Kingdom Era. The two were natural adversaries. Ten thousand years ago, the Hell Realm had even successfully invaded the Heavenly Realm, resulting in the fall of Boundary Master-level powerhouses on both sides. To this day, the Heavenly Realm’s Yuan Energy had yet to fully recover.

The nine pairs of wings on the East Emperor’s back erupted with blazing Holy Light as he laughed coldly.

"Originally, I merely wanted to drive you away, but since you are from the Hell Realm...

"Heh heh heh, then I, your junior, East Emperor, will experience the residual might of a Saint from ten thousand years ago!"

The Tongyuan Realm Master said apathetically, "A tiger down in the plains is mocked by dogs. Even a lowly Great Angel dares to challenge this Boundary Master!" Glancing at the yet-to-be-completed Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill, he narrowed his eyes and added, "Whatever. This Boundary Master will play with you for a bit!"

SWOOSH—

The Tongyuan Realm Master disappeared without a trace on the spot, and the East Emperor likewise transformed into a golden afterimage, vanishing from where he stood. Almost simultaneously, a terrifying shockwave erupted from the horizon. It contained both angelic Holy Light and soul-based secret techniques.

Even with Jiang Fan’s current senses, he was unable to clearly capture their exchange of blows. Despite both being in the Sage Realm, newly advanced Sages and Peak Sages were practically beings of entirely different levels. Fortunately, since both of them were after the Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill, they intentionally controlled the aftershocks of their battle to stay away from this area. This allowed Jiang Fan to focus on refining the Spirit Pill with peace of mind.

Not long after.

A massive cloud of pill fragrance surged into the sky, condensing into an eight-colored beam of light that pierced through the upper and lower Void. Waves of fluctuations spread invisibly to every corner of the heavens.

The Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill was about to be completed.

Jiang Fan glanced at the dragon on the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod, which was gradually dimming, and his eyes shifted slightly. In addition to upgrading the Grade of Spirit Pills, the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod possessed another trait. Namely, it could produce one extra Spirit Pill. The last time he refined the Seventh Grade Dragon and Phoenix Divine Gallbladder, he had instantly produced two pills. He wondered if he could also produce two Eighth Grade Heavenly Pills.
