Long Chen had just poured the medicinal powder into the pill furnace one by one. As soon as the powder started to melt, he noticed the sky above his head change color.
"This pill isn't recognized by the Heavenly Dao, so it's not even possible to refine it?"
Long Chen's expression changed. Ten thousand roars roared above the void, actually sealing this world. Long Chen's pill furnace could not absorb any energy from heaven and earth.
Without the energy of heaven and earth, one cannot form a pill, just like a face without water—it ultimately cannot gather into a single mass.
"There's actually such a thing?"
Wan Dao was imprisoned, unable to absorb a trace, but Long Chen still went to refine pills as usual, eventually producing a whole batch of medicinal ash.
"It seems this Wuji Pill is a bit strange. This time, the Heavenly Dao isn't targeting me, but rather the Wuji Pill." After refining a batch of other pills, Wan Dao returned to normal, but after refining the Wuji Pill, when the medicinal powder fused, Wan Dao was restrained again.
Long Chen tried several times in a row, but it was always the same. The Wuji Pill was targeted by the Heavenly Dao, as if it was forbidden from appearing in this world.
"Huo Ling'er, remember this, right? Come on, let's go to the chaotic space to refine pills." Long Chen tried refining several times in a row but failed, but after several attempts, Huo Ling'er memorized the method.
Long Chen's soul sank into the chaotic space to refine the Wuji Pill. Everything went smoothly here, but just as the Wuji Pill was about to form, the chaotic space trembled slightly. Long Chen clearly felt that some power was being extracted from the chaotic space.
Opening the furnace, a batch of black-and-white pills appeared, resembling the eyeballs of living beings.
It has no medicinal fragrance, and its grade is unrecognizable, yet it seems like a living star, its black and white patterns pulsating, as if evolving its own path.
Long Chen took out one pill and held it in his hand, but he couldn't read anything unusual. He put it in his mouth, and as the pill entered his stomach, Long Chen felt a tremor in his abdomen. A tremendous power radiated out, making his blood and energy surge violently, and he nearly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Long Chen couldn't help but be shocked. He was already a Four Extremes Realm expert, and his body had been strengthened by the true dragon's essence blood, yet he almost couldn't withstand the impact of that pill.
Long Chen immediately felt as if a volcano was erupting within him, endless power raging within him. At the same time, the 108,000 stars within him trembled violently, and a strange force surged toward them. The divine fire atop each star seemed to be doused with oil, swelling endlessly.
As the divine fire ignited, Long Chen let out a muffled groan and collapsed to the ground. He felt his whole body swelling—blood, flesh, tendons, bones, even his soul swelling. Centered around the chaotic space, the mysterious power began to circulate. Long Chen felt like he was about to explode.
Long Chen felt that what he had swallowed was not a pill, but a world containing all the power within it. It became a world, possessing its own laws.
Now, that law had been absorbed by Long Chen. He felt the myriad laws rampaging through his body, and he clearly sensed that his blood, flesh, tendons, and bones were imprinting some kind of law.
Amidst the intense pain, Long Chen suddenly had a flash of insight: The Immortal Realm forbids the Wuji Pill from becoming a pill. Could it be because it draws out the power of the Immortal Realm's laws?
Long Chen recalled that when he formed the pill, the chaotic space trembled slightly, as if some force had entered the Wuji Pill. Thinking back now, he seemed to understand something.
Long Chen felt pain for the entire time it takes to burn an incense stick before gradually easing. He felt himself swelling up badly, as if he was about to burst.
Long Chen hurriedly opened his inner vision and found countless strange symbols imprinted within his body. These symbols were imprinted in his blood, flesh, tendons, and bones, and even within his sea of consciousness, countless star-like symbols appeared.
"What is this?"
Long Chen tried to communicate with those symbols and found that they didn't obey his commands. After trying for a long time, he just couldn't control them.
After a long while, the swelling gradually faded. Long Chen stretched his muscles and bones and found that the power of his flesh and blood seemed to have grown stronger, but his whole body still felt numb. He wasn't sure yet.
But Long Chen clearly felt his soul power growing stronger. With those star-like runes appearing in his sea of consciousness, his soul power underwent a qualitative transformation.
"Could it be that the Wuji Pill is an all-encompassing upgrade?" My Four Extremes Realm is the Infinite Realm? "Long Chen's heart pounded wildly. The cultivation path of the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique was so far behind others.
"Fengfu, Yuheng, Siming... One hundred and eight thousand stars—oh my, all of them had symbols. "
Long Chen suddenly realized that the dense runes covered every corner of his body, except for the chaotic space.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen punched into the void with a loud explosion. The fist stood still, and the space around it twisted continuously—the scene was extremely bizarre.
"Hahaha..."
Long Chen suddenly laughed wildly toward the sky: "These runes can actually resist the suppression of the Immortal Realm's laws on me. In other words, when others cast spells on me, I can use these runes to resist." Long
Chen's face was full of excitement. Luo Zichuan had said that he was targeted by the Heavenly Dao, and only a very small portion of the Heavenly Dao laws recognized him and could lend him power.
But ninety-nine percent of the laws of the Heavenly Dao suppressed him, so the spells he cast were all somewhat restricted.
Especially Long Chen's Heaven-Opening move, whose power was greatly diminished by the will of the Heavenly Dao. His strongest move was the World-Destroying Fire Lotus.
Because with the Great Brahma Heaven Scripture, the Heavenly Dao is irresistible. Whether it wants to or not, it must obey Long Chen's call.
However, the World-Destroying Fire Lotus had a fatal flaw: the guidance time was too long. Not to mention fighting a terrifying powerhouse like Luo Zichuan, even against Gui Yun and Ku Wuya, it was difficult to use it.
If you can't perform against someone stronger than yourself, or if you do it against someone weaker, it's like shooting a mosquito with a cannon—meaningless.
After Luo Zichuan's trials, Long Chen had seen countless of his own fatal flaws, but he was powerless. The Heavenly Dao pressed down on him, and he was helpless.
But now, with these mysterious runes appearing, Long Chen saw hope. He couldn't activate them now because they were still too weak. The stronger they were, the weaker the Heavenly Dao's suppression of Long Chen became. This meant a bright future for Long Chen.
Once the numbness in his body subsided, Long Chen began to devour the second Wuji Pill. This time, there was no pain; as soon as the effects dissolved, countless runes were absorbed, and those runes noticeably grew noticeably larger after being absorbed.
This time, Long Chen clearly felt that as those runes were nourished by the pills, his physical body was quietly changing, and his power was growing invisibly.
"Wow, now let me see who among those of the same rank still dares to show off to your Third Master Long." Long Chen clenched his fists, a confident smile appearing on his face.
But when Long Chen swallowed the third Wuji Pill, the smile on his face froze.
