Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 2302: Chapter 2350: Dao Slave’s Shocking Appearance

"Is this... the Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill?" the woman in the purple luxurious dress exclaimed in a low voice, her tone trembling slightly. With this pill, she would have more leeway in the coming turmoil!

With a thought, she raised her hand and cast out a large swathe of Laws, attempting to capture it. Unexpectedly, the silver carp flicked its tail gently. The Laws that landed on its scales simply slipped right off its body!

The woman in purple was secretly surprised, thinking, "It can actually do that?" She immediately realized that this was a special trait of this Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill. She decisively flapped her wings and flew toward the silver carp, intending to catch it with her own hands.

However, the Tongyuan Realm Master and the East Emperor, who were in the midst of a fierce battle, also noticed that the Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill had reached Great Success.

"He actually succeeded!" the Tongyuan Realm Master said in astonishment. That junior who had merely been at the Heavenly Human Two Declines back then was actually already an Eight-star Soul Master! After a brief moment of shock, he decisively shifted from solid to ethereal, displaying the unique movement technique of the Three Calamities Realm within the Void.

The East Emperor also couldn’t help but laugh heartily. "Such a fresh Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill—it’s the first time I’ve seen one in my life! It’s mine!"

Within the Void, who could compare to a Great Angel in movement techniques? In an instant, he transformed into a streak of golden light, surpassing Tongyuan and even the woman in purple who was right next to it!

As for Jiang Fan, who was the closest, a strong sense of warning flared in his heart. Instead of joining the scramble, he grabbed the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod and immediately rode his paper crane to vanish via Instantaneous Movement.

Almost at the same time, the East Emperor arrived in front of the silver carp and pressed a hand toward its head!

Seeing this, the woman in purple shouted majestically, "Stop! This is my Spirit Pill!" How could she let someone else take the result of her two thousand years of planning?

The East Emperor did not even turn his head. He chuckled and said, "Why should we distinguish between yours and mine?"

The woman in purple gritted her teeth. Suddenly, brilliant Holy Light erupted from her back. Her initial pair of wings conjured eight more pairs. A total of nine pairs of wings. She was actually a Nine-winged Great Angel as well!

After revealing her true cultivation, her appearance also changed. Her originally delicate, girlish face transformed into the mature visage of a woman in her forties. However, her dignified and solemn gaze became agile and sprightly, much like the eyes of a young girl.

Her body and soul seemed to be complete opposites! As a young girl, she possessed a soul with a mature consciousness. Now, as a grown woman, she harbored the mindset of a girl. But as her body reverted to that of an older woman, her cultivation also reached its absolute peak.

SWOOSH!

She similarly turned into a streak of golden light. Wielding a Holy Sword that radiated brilliant Holy Light, she thrust it viciously at the East Emperor. "Hmph, don’t you dare touch my things!"

Facing someone of the same rank, how could the East Emperor dare to be careless? He had no choice but to reach for the silver carp with one hand while blocking the might of the Holy Sword with the other.

The Tongyuan Realm Master was also unwilling to see the Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill fall into the hands of two Angels. Steeling his resolve, his body ignited with Soul Flame, making his already transparent form even more ethereal. Boosted by the Soul Flame, his movement technique briefly skyrocketed, allowing him to reach the silver carp in an instant.

The three experts of the Three Calamities Realm launched an attack on the silver carp simultaneously. There seemed to be no possibility for this Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill to escape.

But who could have expected that at the exact moment the East Emperor was about to press down on its head, the silver carp suddenly twisted its body violently. The power of the Void between heaven and earth was actually mobilized as if it were water.

The three Three Calamities Realm experts, despite being right next to it, were all pushed away by the power of the Void. Only the silver carp remained completely unaffected, as if it were swimming in water. It even borrowed the power of the Void to dart away with a SWOOSH. Its speed was completely on par with the three Three Calamities Realm experts!

This was actually a peculiar Spirit Fish that treated the Void as its ocean.

Caught completely off guard, the East Emperor and the other two hastily gave chase. Two golden afterimages and a young man’s figure burning with Soul Flame pursued it relentlessly.

However, the silver carp’s speed kept increasing! Even the Great Angels, who were reputed to be the fastest in the Void, could not keep up at all!

"Damn it!" the woman in purple cursed, entirely losing her composure. "You bastard, stop right there!"

She had paid such a massive price and worked so painstakingly to successfully prepare the Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill. Yet in the end, it ran away! Nothing could be more insulting than this!

But right at this moment, a bone-chilling aura suddenly swept across the heavens.

The three experts, who were speeding along, all shuddered. Their blood raced, and the hairs on their skin stood up uncontrollably. A sense of panic they hadn’t felt since their days as mortals clogged their hearts, making it difficult for them to breathe.

At the same time, an ink-black cloud cluster eerily materialized above their heads. It was utterly massive. Coming from the distant Void, it covered the endless heavens and earth. Even with the senses of the Three Calamities Realm, they could not perceive its boundaries.

CLINK CLANK.

Suddenly, the sound of colliding metal echoed from the center of the black cloud. In the dead silence of the Void, the clashing noise sounded exceptionally terrifying.

The three of them stopped in their tracks, standing frozen in place, not daring to move. Looking up toward the center of the black cloud, their pupils shrank drastically as they realized something was walking inside the cloud!

Staring intently, they saw an eerie silhouette wrapped in several chains. The long chains dragged behind it, emitting that terrifying metallic clatter with its every movement.

As if sensing the trio’s gaze, the dark figure halted its steps. It lowered its head and cast a downward glance at them through the black cloud.

And with just that single glance, the three of them screamed simultaneously.

Their eyes completely exploded in unison, turning into rotten sludge that splattered everywhere. To think that against an existence of this level, even as experts of the Three Calamities Realm, they weren’t even qualified to look at it!

The woman in purple covered her endlessly bleeding eyes, her voice trembling. "Wrapped in the Great Dao’s divine order, accompanied by an ominous black cloud... He is... he is that Dao Slave! The descent of the Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill has drawn the Dao Slave’s attention!"

Only now did she finally understand why, over the past ten thousand years, those five Eight-star Soul Masters had never refined an Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill. As it turned out, the Dao Slave didn’t just obliterate any Saint Realm experts who appeared in the world. The manifestation of an Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill—something used exclusively by the Saint Realm—would also alert him!

As she was overwhelmed with absolute terror, the dark figure withdrew its gaze. Dragging the long chains, it continued stepping toward the silver carp.

The silver carp seemed to sense an intense crisis as well. With a sweep of its tail, it actually dove straight in the direction Jiang Fan had fled.

Jiang Fan, completely oblivious to this, was currently riding his paper crane toward the Central Earth. Looking thoroughly exasperated, he muttered, "The Eighth Grade Heavenly Pill is gone, I didn’t get the Space Storage Device I agreed upon with that woman, and now I’m burdened with some unknown Cause and Effect.

"This trip was an absolute massive loss!"

Right at that moment, massive ripples surged through the Void, shoving the paper crane forward so hard that it stumbled.

Jiang Fan turned his head to look, his expression shifting slightly. At the end of the Void, a black cloud was actually approaching. And beneath that black cloud, the massive silver carp was sprinting frantically toward him—its Alchemy Master!

Jiang Fan immediately realized that the black cloud contained an ominous Cause and Effect. He felt the urge to curse up a storm. This damn fish! He had told it not to be born, yet it insisted on refining itself to force its birth. And now that it had triggered a Cause and Effect, it wanted to come running for help.

How could he dare to linger?

He decisively activated all the remaining Power of Laws within the paper crane, and then fled at breakneck speed!
