Supreme Elixir God

"Buzz!"

A terrifying aura permeated the entire scene, suppressing everyone present.

Ji Chen’s indifferent voice echoed in everyone’s mind, causing an involuntary tremor within their hearts.

More than a dozen powerful figures, wielding Holy Weapons, attacked together, yet they couldn’t capture him.

Not only that, but even their Holy Weapons were destroyed by him one after another, reduced to scrap iron.

This signifies the gap between both parties, an unimaginable magnitude.

"Please spare me, I am willing to give up everything I possess."

Finally, someone could no longer withstand the fear in their heart, and was the first to speak up pleading for mercy.

Obviously, at this point, if they don’t yield, what awaits them could very likely be a ruthless slaughter.

Someone took the lead, and soon others followed.

Within a short span of time, everyone present took out all of their belongings. Though very unwilling, they still offered these things to Ji Chen with both hands.

"And what about you all?"

Ji Chen unceremoniously collected them all.

Afterward, he shifted his gaze, looking toward Zhao Zhijing and his men.

Zhao Zhijing’s face was sullen, looking extremely unsightly.

Obviously, they never imagined that the Zhao Family gathered such a force in the mountains, which should have reaped plentiful rewards, yet now all became Ji Chen’s dowry.

"Buzz!"

After a brief silence, Zhao Zhijing and his men had no choice but to capitulate.

They all knew very well that the current Ji Chen definitely had the power to annihilate everyone present.

"I didn’t expect you to have gained so much."

After collecting the Holy Medicine they handed over, Ji Chen did not hesitate to pocket it all.

Then, he swept his gaze over the crowd present, leaving behind a cold snort, and transformed into a streak of tunneling light, flying into the distant sky, disappearing from everyone’s sight in an instant.

Watching his figure vanish into the distant sky, everyone present was speechless.

It was a long while before Zhao Zhijing spoke, "When has my Zhao Family ever suffered such humiliation? If this young man is not killed, this hatred will be hard to quell!"

It wasn’t just him; all the cultivators from various factions recruited by the Zhao Family were now exceedingly displeased.

They had spent days, bearing immense risks to come here, each obtaining some slight harvest.

Yet unexpectedly, today’s harvest was taken away by Ji Chen alone; how could they feel willing to accept this?

"If not for the sealing of cultivation in this mountain, how could he be so arrogant?" Some elder powerful figures spoke coldly, their expressions revealing deep unwillingness.

"Quickly send the information back to Divine River City, inform the Zhao Family, lock down all exits of the Emperor’s Fall Mountain Range, once Ji Chen is found, capture him alive or dead!" Zhao Zhijing issued a stern command.

"Yes!" A Zhao Family cultivator responded, then rushed towards the exterior of the Emperor’s Fall Mountain Range with the command, clearly aiming to deliver the message to the Zhao Family in Divine River City.

This expedition, with the Zhao Family’s team completely overwhelmed by Ji Chen alone, would be a huge loss to the Zhao Family’s prestige and face if not avenged. By any means necessary, they must capture Ji Chen, otherwise, there’ll be no face left to stand in the Desolate Domain in the future.

...

Meanwhile, Ji Chen was unaware of the conversation happening in the valley.

By now, he had long since left the valley, continuing to advance deeper into the Emperor’s Fall Mountain Range.

From the beginning, Ji Chen never intended to exterminate the Zhao Family’s team completely.

After all, in his view, the Zhao Family was one of the Nine Great Emperor Clans of Divine River City, a present-day Overlord Level existence in the Desolate Domain.

If he truly left them all in the valley, even the slightest leak of information would lead to an inescapable death for himself, facing endless reprisal from the Zhao Family.

Moreover, with the great battle imminent, if he truly killed so many people at once, it would certainly cause a huge uproar, putting immense pressure from public opinion, potentially implicating Lingyun Sacred Land. This was a result Ji Chen most wanted to avoid.

"These Holy Medicines... are still not enough."

Continuing deeper into the mountain range, Ji Chen took stock of his acquisitions.

Previously, he himself obtained several Holy Medicines, and coupled with what the Zhao Family people handed over, Ji Chen now had several dozen Holy Medicines in total.

However, despite having dozens, many were duplicates, with only about ten types overall.

Furthermore, these ten types of Holy Medicines varied in effects, and those that could actually aid Qu Luoning might be few.

Thus, Ji Chen still hadn’t given up on continuing to search for Holy Medicines within the mountain, determined to venture further.

He traveled alone, now having ventured nearly two thousand miles deep, yet the vast Emperor’s Fall Mountain Range showed no end.

And at such depth, encountering other cultivators became rare, with most forming teams, almost impossible to see individuals like himself traveling alone.

"Roar!"

Ambling through the forest, who knows how much time had passed when suddenly, a roar sounded from not far ahead, catching Ji Chen’s attention.

Following the direction of the sound, Ji Chen approached the edge of an open area.

Looking ahead, there gathered a team of nearly a hundred people, currently battling an ancient creature resembling a Qilin.

This nearly hundred-person team wielded Magical Treasures, launching fierce assaults from all directions.

But the ancient creature, covered in layers of golden scale armor, was invulnerable, with almost no attack affecting it greatly.

"Oh?"

Ji Chen intended to bypass and ignore it.

Yet suddenly, amidst the crowd, he spotted a familiar face, Qin Yin!

The Young Master of the Qin Family, an outstanding genius possessing the Nine Dragon True Body, unexpectedly encountering him here.

Ji Chen could sense the extraordinary aura from Qin Yin, but his cultivation was evidently suppressed by the mountain’s Forbidden Power, leaving him only with Quasi-Saint Realm strength, unlike his Great Saint Realm prowess outside.

This discovery gave Ji Chen a certain understanding of the Nine Dragon True Body.

Compared to his own Hongmeng Body, this so-called Nine Dragon True Body was just like that.

After all, since entering the mountain, the Forbidden Power had not exerted any suppression on his cultivation, whereas Qin Yin’s strength was reduced from Great Saint to Quasi-Saint, now merely possessing Nirvana Realm First and Second Layer strength.

"Roar!"

Rumbling roars echoed, the ancient creature continued its cries, with its sturdy scale armor offering immense defense capabilities.

At this moment, even facing Qin Yin’s and others’ encirclement, the ancient creature remained unharmed, and even counterattacked, killing quite a few.
