Supreme Alchemist
Chapter 2239 - 2239 2229 Solution

2239: Chapter 2229: Solution 2239: Chapter 2229: Solution In this small space, there’s even another ancient divine artifact, which is surprising enough for Long Yan.

You must know, there are only ten ancient divine artifacts in total, highly coveted by many cultivators.

The appearance of the Emperor Qin Mirror and Fire Spirit Pearl in this small world was already surprising enough for Long Yan, but now there’s yet another one.

Zhiyan did not pay attention to Long Yan’s expression, this matter was somewhat surprising but it still was a fact.

It seemed as if Long Yan recalled something, his face changed from astonished to an odd expression.

“Are you talking about the Demon-Sealed Sword at the very bottom??”

Zhiyan nodded noncommittally.

This Demon-Sealed Sword was ranked fourth among the ancient divine artifacts; it would have been ranked even higher if it wasn’t continuously maintaining the Demon Locking Tower.

A bitter smile appeared on his face, with the power of the Demon-Sealed Sword, it was indeed enough to slay the Fire Demon Beast, but the Demon-Sealed Sword was the lifeline of the entire Demon Locking Tower.

What would happen if the Demon-Sealed Sword was removed arbitrarily?

Understanding Long Yan’s concerns, Zhiyan started to explain that the situation wasn’t as bad as Long Yan imagined.

Although the maintenance of the Demon Locking Tower indeed relied on the Demon-Sealed Sword, the sword did not have to be fixed in one spot.

As long as the Demon-Sealed Sword existed within the Demon Locking Tower, its power would still influence the tower.

Thus, a situation like a horde of demons escaping the Demon Locking Tower, as Long Yan imagined, would not occur.

Hearing this, Long Yan felt somewhat relieved, as having more combat power in this evenly matched battle was certainly better.

Zhiyan’s finger emitted a beam of light and the outline of a formation appeared in Long Yan’s mind.

This was not an exclusive secret; the difficulty was mainly that the core of the formation needed to be made with a powerful ancient divine artifact.

The stronger the artifact, the more powerful the formation would be.

The formation only needed to have its general layout drawn.

“As for the decision, it’s up to you.”

Zhiyan looked deeply at Long Yan, having handed over the formation to him.

Now, the decision was Long Yan’s problem.

The Blood Demon Emperor below was no easy opponent, and even if reluctant to go, the Emperor Qin Mirror could still unleash remarkable power.

“No, I choose to retrieve the sword.”

Long Yan’s eyes revealed a resolute expression, if there was a stronger formation available, it was certainly worth attempting.

Seeing Long Yan’s determination, Zhiyan also nodded lightly.

“While you retrieve the sword, I will use the Qilin clan’s secret technique to re-seal the Fire Demon Beast.

Of course, this method can only delay for a few days; the Fire Demon Beast still needs to be eliminated by you.

However, if I perform the secret technique, I might not be able to assist in the battle afterward.

Long Yan slightly nodded, under the current situation, having the Fire Qilin help delay for a few days was already very good.

“Then take me to the sealed land of the Fire Demon Beast.”

Zhiyan looked at the baby still in deep sleep and wondered if agreeing to Long Yan’s request was a good or bad thing, but the current situation left no choice but to take one step at a time.

The two of them, accompanied by the Fire Qilin, arrived next to the lava, which in just a short time transformed from bright red to completely black, releasing an unbearable stench that forced Xing Rou, always close by, to pinch her nose.

As if immune to the foul smell, Zhiyan could distinctly sense the evil intent and strong energy emanating from the black lava, coupled with a sense of helplessness.

If it were during her triumphant days, there would be no need for such hassle; she would simply drag out the Fire Demon Beast and beat it up with brute force.

Of course, that was just wishful thinking.

Zhiyan, in her graceful human form, stood before the black lava, her hands performing a set of Spell Decisions.

A red light, as if drawn by Zhiyan’s guidance, descended from the sky, followed by her sharp shout and five vivid red Curse Marks that landed and hovered over the surface of the black lava.

It seemed the Fire Demon Beast inside the lava sensed the Seal’s presence.

The black lava churned thunderously while the ground below shook incessantly.

Now in an awakening state, the Fire Demon Beast, sealed for many years, was still groggy.

However, today, upon sensing the Seal of the Fire Qilin, it felt a surge of irritation.

“I…

must get out…

and kill you all.”

Threatening words echoed long in the cave, but none of the few present took them to heart; even if the Fire Demon Beast did not wish to attack, they would still proactively seek it out.

Zhiyan appeared slightly weak, her steps unsteady, yet she managed to maintain her stance.

Long Yan first expressed his gratitude, then had Xing Rou take Zhiyan back while he and Bai Mu went in search of ingredients needed for the Antidote.

“How confident are you about this battle?”

Bai Mu asked Long Yan softly.

The black lava’s recent turmoil had startled him, making it hard to imagine how formidable the restored Fire Demon Beast would be, leaving Bai Mu utterly uncertain.

In response to Bai Mu’s question, Long Yan simply smiled indifferently; he too had no assurances, despite possessing the Power of generations of Demon Kings and Zhiyan’s Seal.

Fighting the Fire Demon Beast was uncertain, but not resisting meant certain death, whereas resisting offered a sliver of a chance for improvement.

Besides, it was not in Long Yan’s nature to shrink from challenges.

Cold winds on the side of Demon Mountain were not uncommon.

The mournful howls of the wind entering the two men’s ears, with paper money floating all over the sky and disordered tombstones painted the scene of Chaotic Burial Mound.

The chilling aura swept across the back of their necks, causing Bai Mu to shudder entirely.

Yet Long Yan was unfazed; his Cultivation of the Nine Suns Divine Art was the ultimate yang and unyielding technique.

The dense corpse energy of Chaotic Burial Mound, although heavy, had no effect on him, whereas Bai Mu beside him shivered, clutching his shoulders.

This was once a Zombie’s territory, but now not a trace was left, only tombstones.

“This is our purpose for coming here.”

Bai Mu plucked a pristine white flower from beside a tombstone, one of the ingredients for the Antidote he had long intended to collect but had been postponed due to various reasons.

Long Yan nodded, and since they were here, they had to check the Corpse Cave.

Leading the way, Bai Mu stepped forward, following Long Yan.

He had not been to Chaotic Burial Mound often, as Zombies and the Demon Race had no friendly relations.

They gradually arrived at the entrance of a cave, from which a bloody scent wafted out.
