Battle Through The Heavens: Grand World

Soul energy condensed into a sharp blade and slashed out, shattering the menacing shadow in front of him. After finishing off the last one, Xiao Yan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He rubbed his forehead. He had been constantly using his soul energy for the past few days. Even with his current strength, he still felt a little tired.    

These shadows looked weak and vulnerable. To kill them, one needed an extremely powerful soul force. If it wasn't for the fact that he had absorbed the Quietus Monarch Burning Flame, his soul force would have increased tremendously. With his soul force at the peak of the illusionary realm, he was afraid that he could only flee in panic, hoping that he wouldn't be trapped by these shadows.    

During the first few days, he could occasionally see a few participants. Naturally, everyone was very careful. But now, it had only been five or six days, and no one could be seen anymore. Boundless phantoms flooded over, covering the sky and covering the earth. Everyone tried their best to stay away from the others. They swept through the snow in front of their doors, fearing that they would cause unnecessary trouble.    

Before they could rest for a moment, another cold and gloomy aura rushed in. Xiao Yan's heart trembled, and he hastily dodged to avoid the attack of a phantom.    

Since he failed to hit it, the phantom naturally wouldn't show any signs of anger. It lunged at Xiao Yan. Its monstrous Qi was as lifelike as a gigantic wave. When he was in Elder Yee's illusion realm, Elder Yee had also used some kind of technique. He simulated a few Holy Beasts to fight with Xiao Yan, although he could also simulate some of the energy of the Holy Beasts. Compared to the illusionary figure in front of him, the difference was really huge.    

. . .    

In a magnificent hall, the ceiling of the hall was filled with dazzling starlight, and the starlight was supporting a bright moon. It was as if the moon was corporeal, and it was sprinkled with a faint glow, causing the entire hall to look like a paradise. Within the hall, a silver-armored man was sitting cross-legged on a hassock, and his eyes were closed, as if he was a meditating old monk. His entire body was emitting a pure Star Light.    

"This time, it seems like the Pill Competition has mixed in something incredible. "    

The door of the hall was suddenly pushed open, and a silver-armored man strode in. His tone was cold, and outside the door, there seemed to be an endless sea of stars and rolling clouds.    

"What do you mean?"    

The silver-armored man from before opened his eyes, and dazzling Star Lights flashed in his eyes. Then, he suddenly stood up and spoke in a deep voice.    

"Yang Che, you claim to be the person closest to the Moon Heavenly Pen. Why, you don't even know about this?"    

The man sneered, looking at the silver-armored man in front of him with disdain.    

The silver-armored man called Yang Che frowned, his expression still as steady as a mountain. "What exactly is going on? Shen Luo and Zhai Zhao are in charge of Pill Competition this time. Why didn't they notice?"    

"Are we counting on them?"    

The man sneered and was about to continue mocking when his body suddenly trembled. A cold feeling suddenly surged out from his back. Yang Che's eyes were incomparably dense. He was like a ferocious beast that had chosen to devour someone. He stared at the person coldly. This cold aura originated from the latter.    

"Heavenly Medicine Mountain Range, the Heavenly Medicine Sect's Star Luo Stone Cauldron is gone. . . "    

The incomer was startled. He did not dare to speak any more nonsense as he hastily spoke.    

"Star Luo Stone Cauldron?"    

Upon hearing this, the coldness in Yang Che's eyes dissipated. In its place was a look of surprise and bewilderment.    

"After Old Man Xing Luo escaped from the Heavenly Medicine Sect, he must have left behind some kind of trump card to let the world know about the existence of the Star Luo Stone Cauldron. It is reasonable for it to be taken away. "    

After pondering for a moment, Yang Che said in a deep voice, "That thing is said to be an ancestral holy weapon that is comparable to the Star Moon. In the end, it is still useless. After such a long time. Breaking through the heavens is probably only the power of an ordinary Sacred Artifact. It cannot be counted. "    

"Since the Stone Cauldron has been taken away, the Heavenly Medicine Sect no longer has any secrets. After this matter is settled, let's discuss and change the entrance to the great world to the heavens. . . "    

After saying that, A cold glint flashed across Yang Che's eyes.    

"Will the Moon Heavenly Pen agree?"    

The incomer's heart sank when he heard this. This fellow was finally unable to restrain himself. He wanted to use this opportunity to grasp the Moon Heavenly Pen.    

"I heard that Shen Luo and Zhai Zhao have sensed the aura of the Star Sky Tablet and went to look for it once. However, there was no news at all. Without the restriction of the Star Sky Tablet, it is likely not so easy to make the Moon Heavenly Pen submit. . . "    

After hearing the silver-armored man's words, Yang Che coldly smiled. His aura slowly rose. He looked at the silver-armored man and said in a solemn tone, "Does the Moon Heavenly Pen agree? I have my own ways. You guys are the biggest obstacle for me to become a Region Lord. Is that right, Huo Xuanluo?"    

"Heh. . . "    

Since he had spoken, Huo Xuanluo also calmed down and similarly replied with a cold smile: "Aren't you talking nonsense? Since you already know it, what else is there to say. "    

"Very good. . . "    

Yang Che narrowed his eyes and nodded his head in satisfaction. He walked forward and patted Huo Xuanluo's shoulder with a sigh. "Although the ten of us have been fighting amongst ourselves for a long time, we must maintain the same stance when facing other realms. We must distinguish between the major and the major. "    

"We'll use you to act high and mighty here. "    

Yang Che's hand was pushed down from his shoulder. Huo Xuanluo snorted coldly. He turned his head and left. He was just about to step out of the hall when his body stopped and said. "Who will be in charge of the third round of Pill Competition?"    

"It will naturally be me. "    

Yang Che said coldly without giving any explanation.    

Hearing this, the corner of Huo Xuanluo's mouth curled up into a cold smile. He kicked open the door of the main hall and walked out.    

Yang Che was silent for a moment as he watched the door of the hall slowly close. After which, he let out a cold laugh. His body flashed and he once again appeared on the praying mat. A star light flashed under his feet as he moved. If Xiao Yan was present, he would definitely recognize this kind of movement technique. It was the Starlight Silent Step that he had once regarded as a treasure. . .    

. . .    

Ten days of soul tempering finally ended with the shattering of the last illusionary figure in front of him. The space between Xiao Yan's brows was so painful that it felt like it was about to split apart. He couldn't even open his eyes. Back when the Prestige Power Spell had merged with his soul, he had never felt this way.    

As the surrounding light dispersed, the surrounding scenery had returned to the small town from before. There were less than fifty people who had appeared together with Xiao Yan. Nearly half of the people had been eliminated in the second round of the competition. Nearly half of the alchemist grandmasters had died. Their soul force had been shattered, and they had all been sentenced to death.    

The moment they appeared in the small town, the pain between their brows instantly dissipated. It was as if the ten days of tempering of the soul was just a dream. However, Xiao Yan had clearly sensed the change in the soul force.    

The others also had shocked expressions on their faces. Immediately, they were overjoyed. Each of them had a satisfied expression on their faces. Although they had suffered a lot in the past ten days, it was still a bountiful harvest for most of them.    

His eyes swept across the crowd without leaving a trace. The two alchemists standing beside him were safe and sound after the first round. The old man who was fighting for the Star Luo Stone Cauldron in the Heavenly Medicine Sect was also here. As for Ye Feng, he hadn't been eliminated yet.    

Xiao Yan could only sigh with emotion when he saw the delighted expression of the latter. This fellow's luck was really extraordinary.    

"Next, it will be the third round. . . "    

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes. Xiao Yan raised his head and looked over. Under the starlight, the figure of a silver-armored man slowly appeared.
