Black-Robed Yao Chen was not the true Yao Chen after all; his inner emotions consisted only of resentment towards the Yao Clan, which had been distorted and magnified. After the Yao Clan showed signs of resistance, he immediately moved to massacre the entire clan.
He was a pill, naturally opposed to these humans who coveted him and wanted to consume him! Because of the hatred in his heart, annihilating a race was something he felt no psychological burden about.
Yao Dan's expression was cold, his heavy heart tinged with a glimmer of hope.
Black-Robed Yao Chen's public declaration to kill Yao Wangui was tantamount to slapping the Yao Clan's face in front of so many people.
If they retreated at this moment and handed over Yao Wangui, the Yao Clan would become the laughingstock of the entire Dou Qi Continent, and their clansmen would become disunited.
Handing over Yao Wangui today would mean handing over others tomorrow... What was the difference between constantly compromising and retreating when facing a strong enemy, and being a coward?
Yao Dan appeared calm, but in reality, he was extremely proud and would not bow down to others.
Furthermore, he also had some ideas about this ninth grade golden pill.
The Yao Clan's protective formation was left behind by the Yao Clan's progenitor, Yao Di, and it contained a trace of Yao Di's remnant soul. As the clan leader, he knew this more clearly than ordinary clansmen.
Black-Robed Yao Chen was a pill. Although terrifying, he was ultimately just a pill. After activating the protective formation and summoning Yao Di's remnant soul, their ancestor might have a way to deal with him!
Black-Robed Yao Chen had already made his move. He struck out with a palm, encompassing everyone on the square, including Hun Xuzi, Yan Yao, and others from the Ancient Eight Clans, including rogue cultivators like Old Man Shennong, and including Yao Chen and Xiao Yan.
The sky-obscuring palm violently collided with the light barrier formed by the Heaven Transformation Formation, and the formation suddenly dimmed a few shades.
Black-Robed Yao Chen's lips distorted into a cold sneer: "Let's see how many times you can block it?"
Yao Dan's face paled a few shades. The ninth grade golden pill was even more terrifying than he had imagined; it was likely that even this protective formation would not hold out for many more times. His confidence in the progenitor's remnant soul waned a bit.
However, having reached this point, there was no turning back. With a wave of his hand, multiple beams of light shot out from Medicine Mountain. Within these light beams were countless densely packed pills.
As the massive amount of pills poured in, the formation solidified again and became even more powerful.
"Ten Thousand Pills Transform Heaven, in the name of the Pill, Progenitor Return!"
The energy from the decomposition of countless pills and the Dou Qi infused by the Yao Clan members formed a visible vortex. An ancient aura emanated from the vortex, and as the vortex dispersed, a faint figure clad in coarse linen robes appeared between heaven and earth.
When his figure appeared, all the Yao Clan members trembled slightly, feeling a tremor from their bloodline.
"Progenitor!" Numerous Yao Clan members spontaneously knelt before him, bowing their heads in reverence.
Yao Chen also supported Xiao Yan to stand up, then knelt down on both knees, performing a grand bowing ceremony. Although his feelings for the Yao Clan were complex, a mix of love and hate, and he didn't feel much belonging, he still genuinely respected his ancestor, the ancient sage who became an emperor in the name of medicine.
Gu Lie looked at the faint figure with a solemn expression; he felt a sense of suffocation beneath this figure.
Just a remnant soul that had existed for who knows how many years was so terrifying. What kind of power would a true living Dou Emperor possess?
Black-Robed Yao Chen retreated rapidly, creating distance, his gaze warily fixed on the linen-robed phantom.
Within the formation, the coarse linen-robed elder's expression was stiff. He surveyed this world with eyes that spanned countless years, as if traversing time from ancient times, and murmured in a low voice:
"The Yao Clan has actually declined to this extent..."
Yao Di phantom's first words made Yao Dan's face flush with shame.
After observing the Yao Clan's situation for a moment, the phantom slowly raised his head and looked at Black-Robed Yao Chen. After scrutinizing the opponent who had forced the Yao Clan to activate their protective formation and summon him, Yao Di phantom's already bewildered eyes, due to the passage of time and fading memories, became even more bewildered...
"This is... a ninth grade golden pill?"
A ninth grade golden pill, and a freshly refined one at that. He could feel the "residual warmth" on the opponent, an aura unique to newly refined pills.
So, a pill brought a crisis of annihilation to a clan renowned for medicine?
Was this not a bit too absurd?
His expression became exceedingly strange. For a moment, he didn't know whether to praise his descendants for their superb alchemy skills or to scold them for being foolish...
These are truly talented people!
Even with his discerning eye, in his era, this was a top-tier pill, the most supreme kind among ninth grade golden pills... But what kind of development is it that you create such a thing and then can't deal with it yourselves?
Yao Dan's expression grew even more awkward. He felt that his ancestor might want to slap him and his unworthy descendants to death.
"No complete memories, so fragmented they're almost gone, with only a few instincts left, muddled like a puppet... A Dou Emperor of an era, and only this much remains."
Black-Robed Yao Chen assessed Yao Di's current state. He posed a threat, but was not insurmountable.
His courage grew, and he launched an attack.
Yao Di's remnant soul also mobilized energy to resist, occasionally launching counterattacks.
He didn't have methods like the "Divine Pill Transformation Skill" that could instantly subdue pills. In his era, they never needed to consider problems like refining a pill but then being unable to defeat it.
If Yao Di were alive, he could instantly devise similar methods, but he was currently just a remnant soul, and even basic thought processes were not smooth.
Therefore, he could only engage Black-Robed Yao Chen in direct combat in the most clumsy manner.
The two of them drew energy from the void, making the Medicine World abundant once more. This energy transformed into rolling tides, surging freely.
Terrifying storms were stirred up during the confrontation between Black-Robed Yao Chen and Yao Di's phantom, sweeping across the entire Medicine World.
As time passed, Yao Di's phantom became increasingly ethereal, and many Yao Clan members, unable to bear the continuous energy input, fainted.
Just as Yao Dan felt the formation was about to give way, Hun Xuzi shouted, "Ancient Eight Clans, connected by the same breath... We cannot watch the Yao Clan be annihilated like this. I will help you!"
Saying this, he formed hand seals, contributing his Dou Qi to the great formation.
"Thank you!" Although Yao Dan felt puzzled, he couldn't dwell on it at the moment and immediately expressed his gratitude.
"Alas, I observe this ninth grade golden pill; his temperament is a bit tyrannical. If possible, it's best to resolve him here and not let him bring disaster to the Central Plains," Old Man Shennong also offered assistance.
Subsequently, Huo Yao, Fairy Huo Ling, Gu Feng, Gu Lie, and other guests on the square all channeled their Dou Qi into the Yao Clan's great formation.
When Black-Robed Yao Chen attacked earlier, he was utterly unrestrained, encompassing everyone within his attack range. With Hun Xuzi leading the way, they all cast aside their fear or apprehension of Black-Robed Yao Chen's immense power and helped the Yao Clan fight against him.
