Chapter 523: The Pill Realm Is Gone! The Heartache of the Three Giants!
Just as Xiao Yan spotted the two familiar old men in the distance, the entire Pill Realm suddenly shook violently.
At that moment, a single thought flashed through everyone's minds the Pill Realm was collapsing!
A spatial world created by a Dou Sheng was crumbling something that was practically unbelievable.
After all, even spatial tunnels created by Dou Zun experts were incredibly stable and rarely collapsed.
For the Pill Realm to suddenly fall apart, there had to be someone forcefully shattering the spatial barriers.
To the members of Soul Hall, this was expected.
Their true goal had always been to wipe out all traces within the Pill Realm.
With so many alchemists' souls waiting to be harvested, they had to eliminate all witnesses, including every last magical beast and survivor.
However, at that very moment, an elderly figure near the exit suddenly opened his eyes.
Judging by his robes, he was clearly one of the Pill Tower Elders.
Seeing the situation unfold, his expression changed drastically.
He immediately turned to the surrounding alchemists and shouted,
"Everyone, leave this place at once! We will verify your gathered medicinal ingredients after we exit. Hurry!"
As soon as he spoke, the old man struck the ground with his cane, and a dark rift appeared in front of him.
Without hesitation, he stepped inside.
The remaining people reacted instantly rushing toward the spatial crack, scrambling to escape.
Gu You, watching from the side, merely smirked coldly before stepping in as well.
Within moments, the entire group of dozens of people had vanished through the rift, including Xiao Yan.
At the far end of the plaza, the two old bodyguards glanced at each other before sprinting toward the portal.
But just as they reached the entrance
The spatial crack suddenly closed right before their eyes.
The surroundings fell into an eerie silence.
"F*ck! The spatial tunnel is gone!"
"We're doomed! We survived all this just to be crushed to death by collapsing space!"
Their faces turned ashen as they stared at the violently trembling surroundings.
Once the Pill Realm collapsed, the original space would reclaim itself, crushing everything inside.
Every person, beast, and plant would be utterly annihilated.
Only a Dou Zun-level expert might be able to break through the weakened space and escape before being crushed to death.
But for them mere nine-star Dou Zong experts it was impossible!
Just as they plunged into despair, something strange happened.
The previously chaotic space suddenly calmed down.
It was as if everything that had happened was just a joke a deliberate trick.
…They were saved?
But how would they get out?
…Well, if they were stuck here, maybe they didn't need to leave!
Staying here and becoming the ancestors of a new world didn't sound too bad!
Thus, within this realm, two powerful old ancestors were born.
Their names: Hao Tian and Angel.
And another old ancestor, the Blackwater Tiger Python, became known as Poseidon.
The Ten Thousand Medicine Mountain Range? It was renamed the Star Dou Great Forest!
Outside the Pill Realm, the three great leaders of the Pill Tower exchanged glances, their expressions filled with bitterness.
Because they suddenly realized that…
The Pill Realm… was gone.
In its place was a completely different world one they no longer controlled.
And they couldn't do anything about it.
The one who altered the space itself was a Dou Sheng!
Who else could have done such a thing?
Had the Pill Realm truly been collapsing?
If not for him repairing it, the entire realm would have been lost.
Technically, one could argue that he had done them a favor…
After all, the world still existed it just no longer belonged to the Pill Tower.
Of course, only they knew the truth.
As the masters of the realm, they had once possessed control over it.
But now…
Poof!
Gone.
Damn Soul Hall!
If not for them, the Pill Realm wouldn't have been lost!
Then again, they couldn't deny that the realm was filled with far too many rare medicinal ingredients.
Perhaps that alone had been enough to lure that man into action stripping them of their control.
Sigh…
Xuan Kong Zi felt his head throbbing this was a huge loss.
As the survivors emerged from the spatial crack, many of them rejoiced, believing they had narrowly escaped death.
But then
The closed portal suddenly reopened.
And more people began walking out!
Not just a few dozens!
Among them were various alchemists, including some of the Pill Tower's top geniuses!
Unlike Song Qing's small faction, this group was the real deal the true elite of the Pill Tower.
And leading them at the very front…
Was Dan Chen!
Her soul power was immense, and her physique was uniquely gifted.
Yet, she appeared frail as if she could collapse at any moment.
Still, the fact that she had led this group to break through the spatial barrier left everyone stunned.
How had she done it?
The Three Giants: Sniffle… Sniffle…
Just as confusion spread, another familiar figure stepped out
Cao Ying!
Dan Chen at the front, Cao Ying at the rear what had these two monsters been up to?!
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan, who had exited earlier, suddenly spotted a certain figure in the crowd.
And his face immediately contorted in agony.
…Seriously?
So damn low-key!
The person making Xiao Yan's blood pressure spike was, of course, Wu Tian.
Still keeping up his act as a modest nobody, he had quietly blended into the crowd.
However, the problem was…
He had entered the Pill Realm alongside Dan Chen and Cao Ying.
But now, he was positioned between them being escorted out like a delicate treasure.
To outsiders, he now looked like nothing more than a pampered plaything.
Meanwhile, those who had been rescued by him knew the truth.
This was the man who had shattered space with a mere wave of his hand!
A true monster.
But since they had been "bound by a confidentiality agreement", they kept their mouths shut, relishing the joy of surviving death twice!
At that moment, the Three Giants felt immense relief.
Their previous sorrow instantly vanished.
So this was the man who had saved them and preserved the Pill Realm!
At least, that's what they chose to believe because thinking otherwise was too painful.
Compared to losing control over the Pill Realm, these dozens of young prodigies were far more valuable.
If they had died, the future of the Pill Tower would have been ruined.
Still…
Where was Song Qing?
As one of the Pill Tower's best talents, why hadn't he returned?
Could it be…?
Just then
A message entered Xuan Kong Zi's mind, and his expression turned dark.
It was from Wu Tian.
And after hearing his words…
Xuan Kong Zi felt as though his dignity had been shattered.
A top genius of the Pill Tower had allied with Soul Hall?
This was beyond humiliating.
They had mocked Yao Chen for having a disciple involved with Soul Hall…
Yet now, their own had been caught doing the same thing.
If Song Qing had succeeded, he might have even become one of the next Three Giants.
At that point…
Would the Pill Tower still be the Pill Tower?
Or would it become… Soul Tower?
