Supreme Alchemist
Chapter 2057 - 2057 2047 Entering the Tomb

2057: Chapter 2047: Entering the Tomb 2057: Chapter 2047: Entering the Tomb Next to him, a disciple of the Heavenly Gate Sect whispered something to Tianwei, causing Tianwei’s facial expression to immediately turn ugly.

Although the two sects maintained a superficial harmony, the situation that unfolded in front of their disciples made it difficult for Tianwei to keep a composed face.

“Go and have Qin Tianlu bring back his good-for-nothing younger brother.”

Then, Tianwei’s expression changed dramatically like a Sichuan opera face-changing act, as he looked at Tian Shu with a spring breeze smile.

“Ah, my good-for-nothing disciple has caused you all some trouble.”

“Not at all.”

The two men forced a smile, but in their hearts, they had already killed each other countless times.

“Did you hit my younger brother?”

Qin Tianlu, following Tianwei’s command, had brought back his disgraceful younger brother, but when he saw his brother wailing on the ground, a surge of anger rose within him.

Qin Tianlu actually despised his younger brother, who had scant hope of following the Immortal Path and lacked business acumen, not to mention being uneducated and always needing the family to clean up his messes.

Yet, he was his own blood-related brother, and Qin Tianlu couldn’t help but feel furious.

“Was it you who laid hands on my younger brother?”

“What if it was?”

As soon as Long Yan spoke, he felt a powerful pressure rising around him.

Qin Tianlu’s strength had already reached the God King Sixth level, and although still not as strong as Long Yan, who was at the fifth, it was significant.

“Hmph!”

Long Yan slightly exerted his True Qi, and Qin Tianlu staggered backward two steps, looking at Long Yan before him with astonishment, unable to comprehend how a Second Rank God King could instantly overcome the pressure of a sixth rank.

Qin Tianlu’s fear of Long Yan increased a notch, and ordered his men to carry away the crestfallen Qin Wuliang.

He, too, would join the upcoming expedition to the Ancient Tomb, where they would inevitably clash.

Soon, the sky was enveloped by dark clouds, with lightning zigzagging through the dark sky.

A nameless strong wind swirled up, lifting the map from the ground, with the surrounding lightning fiercely striking above the grand gate of the Ancient Tomb, the overwhelming momentum crushing everything around the gate.

It was as if a white-haired Ferocious Tiger was roaring loudly in the sky, and a ghostly blue gate appeared before everyone, slightly blurry and ethereal, while at the center of the gate was what looked like an azure beast’s eye.

“Let’s go in.”

The Seven-Star Hall and the Heavenly Gate Sect each had only twenty chosen representatives.

Almost all of the upper echelon from Holy King Planet were present, but the Holy King himself had not participated, his scheming unknowable.

Through the blue portal, everyone felt as if they were enveloped in something, and the operation of their True Qi quickened.

The surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was abundant, but Long Yan detected a hint of fresh blood in the air.

“Is this the Ancient Tomb?”

Lingxi was immediately captivated by the surrounding scenery full of birdsong and fragrant flowers, the lush green grass, fluttering butterflies, and several wildflowers blooming along the path, unknown to them.

Just as Lingxi was about to walk over, she felt her hand being grabbed.

“Wait a moment.”

Just as Long Yan finished speaking, the scenery before them undulated like waves, and what was once a beautiful sight turned into a vast expanse of Yellow Sand.

Several white bones were partially buried in the sand, and the ground was strewn with broken weapons, with a foul stench still lingering in the air.

“Ah!!”

A female cultivator who had just wanted to pick some wildflowers instead grabbed onto chilling white bones, scaring her so much that her face turned pale, and she collapsed onto the ground.

Seeing the scene before her, Liu Qingyue fearfully shrank into Long Yan’s embrace, causing Lingxi to snort heavily through her nose.

Long Yan didn’t care much; since they had entered the gate, they had already been inside the Ancient Tomb.

“Be careful, it seems like something is coming.”

A thick dark cloud from the horizon drifted towards them, lifting up a sky full of smoke that was visible even from their location.

“This…”

A bold cultivator, seeing the scene before him, trembled in his voice as he saw a group of Skeleton Soldiers running towards them, wearing tattered helmets and possessing continuously flickering ghost fires in their chests and eye sockets.

“Prepare for battle!”

Someone shouted loudly, causing the surrounding cultivators to involuntarily swallow their saliva and grip their weapons tighter and tighter.

The scene was too weird; none had ever seen anything like it.

What had to come, finally came.

Some Skeleton Soldiers had already clashed with the cultivators in front.

But after the confrontation, the cultivators finally eased their minds; these Skeleton Soldiers were of very low rank, merely True God First Stage, and posed no threat before the elite of the two factions.

With a Long Knife in hand, a Heavenly Gate Sect cultivator instantly chopped a Skeleton Soldier before him into pieces and triumphantly gestured to the others behind him.

“Watch out!”

As the cultivator turned around, a rusted Long Knife pierced through his chest as if alive.

The cultivator’s fresh blood was completely drained, turning him into a skeleton that fell into the Yellow Sand.

It was the same Skeleton Soldier he had scattered earlier, now unscathed as it thrust the knife into his chest.

Around them, many defeated Skeleton Soldiers’ skeletons creaked and visibly reassembled before their eyes.

“Brother Yan, what do we do?”

Lingxi looked very worried.

Now she couldn’t even bother about Liu Qingyue, who was still nestling in Long Yan’s arms, and asked anxiously.

Long Yan cast his gaze towards the battlefield, where dense Skeleton Soldiers extended to the horizon.

As for the battle, no matter what methods the cultivators used, they couldn’t kill the Skeleton Soldiers before them; within a mere two breaths, the shattered Skeleton Soldiers would reassemble.

“Mo Shuang Ancient Flame.”

A Black Flame appeared in Long Yan’s hand, the Strange Fire burning fiercely with a scent of death.

Since obtaining the Mo Shuang Ancient Flame, Long Yan had been continuously studying it.

Although there were only two realms between life and death, there were indeed numerous applications.

“Qian Li Broken Fire Slash.”

The Black Flame concentrated on the Dragon Tooth, merging the Artistic Conception of Death with the Saber Qi as it flew, slicing all Skeleton Soldiers on its path into two.

However, Long Yan found that the True Meaning of Death seemed ineffective against Skeleton Soldiers, which were essentially dead objects.

The glowing lights in their chests and eye sockets seemed like the Origin of their True Qi, unaffected by it.

But the Mo Shuang Ancient Flame, carrying the True Meaning of Death, would keep burning as long as there was something combustible; the resurrected Skeleton Soldiers turned into nothing under its flames.

“Go.”

Concentrating the Mo Shuang Ancient Flame in his hand, Long Yan stimulated his Spiritual Power, releasing a faint Black Flame from his hand.

“Purgatory Fire Sea.”

The Mo Shuang Ancient Flame fell among the Skeleton Soldiers, turning into a Black Ocean.

All the Skeleton Soldiers enveloped within it disintegrated into nothingness in this Purgatory.

“This youngster really has quite a few good things on him.”

Peng Wang stood among the crowd, greedily eyeing the Mo Shuang Ancient Flame in Long Yan’s hands, secretly making calculations inside.
