The Soul Furnace condensed by soul power descended with immense force causing the surrounding space to hum and vibrate violently. Hun Miesheng gently tapped his brow with a fingertip. His peak Heaven Realm soul force instantly exploded outward distorting and shattering the space around him. With both hands forming seals that terrifying soul force swiftly compressed and expanded forming into a majestic coiled dragon of pure soul power. The soul dragon let out a thunderous roar sweeping its tail wide as it collided head on with the descending Soul Furnace.
Within the void the soul storm continued to gather and implode tearing a gaping black hole through space.
"Heaven Realm peak soul power"
The faces of Xuan Kongzi and the others turned even paler but as a peak rank eight alchemist he could still barely endure it.
Screams burst from the crowd. Those with weaker soul power participating in the Soul Fusion formation found their spirits crumbling in mere moments.
Their soul forces were rapidly disintegrating.
This was the inherent flaw of the Soul Fusion Array.
Each individual's soul strength and endurance limit varied. If the opponent could not be overwhelmed in the initial fusion burst then those participants would inevitably fall into danger.
Hun Miesheng chuckled
"Break"
The soul dragon's glowing light burst forth clashing violently with the furnace above.
Crack crack
The dragon surged skyward and the Soul Furnace shattered in an instant.
The Soul Fusion Array was broken.
Agonized screams echoed through the city as the fused soul force of tens of thousands was shattered in a moment. Countless cultivators collapsed unconscious many clutching their heads in pain rolling on the ground.
The pain of having one's soul shattered was enough to make one wish for death. These people had now lost any chance of progressing their soul strength in the future.
Such was the price of a failed Soul Battle.
Even Xuan Kongzi and the other two peak rank eight alchemists turned deathly pale coughing blood in succession.
Hun Miesheng slowly opened his eyes reclaiming the vast soul force into his body.
"Have you any other tricks left"
He stood atop the void arms folded glancing down arrogantly at the shattered remnants of the Pill Tower. His expression was full of mockery.
It was over.
Xuan Kongzi and the others stood frozen faces devoid of color.
"The Pill Tower may as well disappear"
Hun Miesheng's calm voice echoed across the heavens.
Looking down at the grand towers of the Pill Tower in the heart of Shengdan City a massive black palm slammed downward from the sky.
Boom
The entire Pill Tower was flattened into rubble.
"Hun Miesheng how dare you"
Seeing the sacred grounds they had cultivated for decades destroyed in one blow Xuan Kongzi spat out another mouthful of blood.
"I will die with you"
"Thunderphantasm Divine Wrath"
Tian Leizi's eyes turned crimson as his body erupted with raging Dou Qi. His figure transformed into a net of divine lightning hurtling toward Hun Miesheng.
"Do not"
Xuan Kongzi tried to stop him but it was too late.
With a soft sigh Hun Miesheng raised a hand. A soul power palm swept forth and instantly erased the lightning net.
Tian Leizi was caught in Hun Miesheng's grip.
Violet black flames engulfed him.
Before he could even scream his body and soul vanished without a trace.
"If you do not come out now then this game is about to end"
Hun Miesheng raised his eyes toward the void above.
His palm glowed with pale blue light and an overwhelming gravity crushed down upon all those of the Pill Tower.
Bang bang bang bang
Like strings of exploding firecrackers screams echoed one after another as Pill Tower members burst apart under the pressure.
Despair enveloped the entire city.
Blood veins surfaced in Xuan Kongzi's eyes as he watched in anguish.
But something about Hun Miesheng's action made him pause.
Was someone still here
Could it be
A faint glimmer of hope flickered in Xuan Kongzi's gaze.
"Hun Miesheng withdraw your hand"
"Our Pill Tower is the central gathering of all alchemists in the Central Plains. Are you not afraid of angering the world"
"No matter how powerful you are you cannot oppose all of Zhongzhou"
A cold voice echoed.
Dozens of figures stepped forth from the void.
This group all had white hair and bore the distinctive elder robes of the Pill Tower.
Powerful Dou Qi energy surrounded them.
The leader was shockingly a two star Dou Saint.
Behind him followed four experts each exuding spatial might indicating their strength had reached the Half Saint realm.
The remaining eight or nine exuded peak Dou Venerate pressure equal if not stronger than Xuan Kongzi.
"Little Pill Tower Elders"
Xuan Kongzi and Xuan Yi exchanged glances and joy lit the eyes of the remaining members.
The Pill Tower still had hope.
"Hun Miesheng cease this now. If we continue this battle it will only result in mutual destruction"
The Great Elder of the Little Pill Tower spoke calmly as his eyes locked onto Hun Miesheng.
"Mutual destruction"
Hun Miesheng laughed.
"Who gave you such courage"
"You believe a mere low ranked Dou Saint a few Half Saints and two dozen Dou Venerates could result in mutual destruction with me"
He stood with hands behind his back his tone flat and arrogant like the sovereign of heaven and earth.
The Great Elder of the Little Pill Tower merely smiled and swallowed a pill.
The dozen or so behind him revealed solemn expressions and each swallowed a blood red pill.
A thick medicinal aura spread across the heavens.
Their power began to rise explosively.
"Those are rank eight Bloodburning Pills Have the elders gone mad"
Xuan Kongzi's face changed drastically clenching his fists tightly.
That pill came at the cost of one's life.
Boom
Blood aura surged from the elders as their lifeforce began to ignite.
The Great Elder's power shot up reaching the peak of three star Dou Saint.
The four Half Saints all broke through to one star Dou Saint.
"Is this enough"
The Great Elder stared at Hun Miesheng.
Hun Miesheng remained calm and shook his head
"Not enough"
The elder stroked his long beard
With a flick of his sleeve nearly a hundred pills flew out and hovered midair.
The heavy medicinal energy radiated in all directions enveloping the entire Shengdan City.
Just inhaling the scent caused many cultivators stuck at bottlenecks to feel a faint loosening of their barriers.
The moment these pills appeared they trembled with life and scattered trying to escape.
One transformed into a baby form while another turned into a delicate young girl who looked pitifully at the elder.
The baby laughed strangely and burst into a beam of light fleeing with incredible speed.
"Stay where you are"
The Great Elder snorted coldly suppressing all the pills. The baby shaped pill was caught in his hand unable to move.
"Tsk tsk Two semi sentient rank nine treasure pills and nearly a hundred top tier rank eight pills This must be nearly all your accumulated resources over the past decade"
"Are you trying to bribe me"
Hun Miesheng sneered playfully looking at the elder.
"Who dares negotiate with a tiger I am not that foolish"
The elder shook his head.
He took a deep breath and looked out over Shengdan City.
"Today my Pill Tower faces catastrophe"
"I ask all of you to lend your aid"
"When the disaster is over the two rank nine treasure pills left by the ancestor and our ten year stock of rank eight pills will be open for selection"
"If anyone has requests for custom refining our Pill Tower will fulfill them to the utmost"
"I swear upon the Dao of Heaven"
"I will not break this promise"
His resonant voice echoed through the city refusing to fade.
Countless silhouettes soared into the sky.
"Hun Miesheng you have forgotten the true terror of alchemists"
