Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 451 - 464: Giving You a Chance

"Fuck, finally made it to the last level like a boss."

A few people stood on the ninety-ninth floor of the Sky Tower, faces filled with sighs.

"Yeah, I’m exhausted." Wang Cai added.

"What are you tired about, you just followed us picking up Divine Crystals." Mu Can was full of contempt. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

"Exactly, Wang Cai, you only collected stuff and didn’t contribute any effort." Wang Cheng joined in.

Wang Cheng now viewed himself as Mu Can’s loyal lackey, always ready to do the dirty and tiring work.

He knew that if it weren’t for Mu Can pulling him up, reaching the fiftieth floor would have already been his limit; he wouldn’t have had the chance to get this far.

The ninety-ninth floor, the final level of the Sky Tower, one more victory and they could confront the top of the Sky Tower.

At that moment, they would reach the pinnacle and see other mountains as small; yet, they still didn’t know what awaited them at the peak.

"Let’s battle!" Mu Can took a deep breath, and they stepped into the center Array.

A flash of light, and a figure appeared in the middle of the Array.

"Fuck, it’s actually him." Mu Can immediately lost his composure, and the figure in the middle seized this chance to charge straight at Mu Can.

Luckily, Wang Cheng was quick to react, swinging his longsword to block the figure, otherwise, Mu Can would have been seriously injured.

"What were you thinking?" Donghuang shouted angrily, his Spiritual Power surging, protecting Mu Can with a group of Light Balls.

The four had fought together hundreds of times, and through these battles, they developed a certain level of synergy.

"Retreat first." Mu Can felt the need to calm his emotions and signaled the others to exit the range of the Array.

When everyone left the Array, the figure gradually vanished.

"What happened?" Dongfeng Shuo knew Mu Can wasn’t one to act unreasonably and quickly asked.

"Nothing, I just need to calm down for a bit," Mu Can shook his head and said.

"Just now, was it that person?" Wang Cai vaguely guessed something and asked.

"Yes, the Lord of the Three Realms." Although Mu Can didn’t want to admit it, there was no denying it; the figure was identical to the one he saw during the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Damn, he’s cruel, creating such a Puppet based on himself." Mu Can couldn’t help feeling astonished.

Indeed, they did not expect that on the final floor of the Sky Tower, they would be facing the Lord of the Three Realms. Even if it was just an avatar, Mu Can could still feel the surging power emanating from it.

Mu Can narrowed his eyes slightly as if resting with his eyes closed.

"What’s going on? Do you know the person just now?" Donghuang asked.

Although Donghuang had temporarily accepted Mu Can as a teammate, he wouldn’t miss an opportunity to probe Mu Can.

"It’s all right now, let’s get ready to fight," Mu Can stood up suddenly, his listless demeanor swept away.

"Even if you are the true Lord of the Three Realms, so what? My strength will definitely be a match for you one day," Mu Can thought to himself.

Everyone took their positions according to the formation, and the figure appeared again, allowing Mu Can another chance to examine this incarnation of the Lord of the Three Realms.

This figure appeared identical to the middle-aged man Mu Can encountered in his Heavenly Tribulation, lying within a coffin.

Such a presence, just by standing there, made others feel as if everything revolved around him, even though what stood before them was merely a Puppet created by the Lord of the Three Realms himself. It still exerted tremendous pressure.

"Everyone be careful." Mu Can looked at those around him. Dongfeng Shuo had already summoned his Spiritual Power Avatar, a giant serpent, and was standing on its back, ready to attack the avatar at any time.

Mu Can, on the other hand, used the Ice Attribute Spiritual Power within his body to erect an Ice Shield for each person, silently protecting them.

"Attack!"

Now was not the time for hesitation. Victory or defeat would be decided in this moment. If they won, Mu Can’s goal would be achieved; if they lost, then they would have to start again from the first floor.

The thought of redoing the climb probably made them feel like throwing up.

The four launched their strongest attacks simultaneously, but the figure managed to block each one.

It stood like a flat boat in a storm, unwavering, no matter how much the winds and rains raged.

"You’re too weak."

Unexpectedly, after easily blocking everyone’s attacks, the figure spoke.

"Who the hell are you?" By now, everyone realized that the Gatekeeper of the final challenge was extraordinary.

None of the Gatekeepers from the previous ninety-eight levels had the ability to speak, but this middle-aged man from the last level could communicate.

"Who I am is not important; what’s important is how you, so weak, will face the upcoming catastrophe of the Three Realms." The middle-aged man did not take the opportunity to attack, but stood there as if pondering something.

"Catastrophe of the Three Realms? Who exactly are you?" Dongfeng Shuo asked.

Mu Can, hearing Dongfeng Shuo’s question, also appeared deep in thought.

"Alas, you’re too weak; this is far from enough." The middle-aged man did not answer Dongfeng Shuo’s question but continued to speak.

"Weak? Won’t we be strong if we defeat you?" Donghuang shouted loudly.

Donghuang’s path of cultivation has never been associated with weakness; even faced with the ever-encountering fortuitous Mu Can, Donghuang still had the confidence to reach the Void Level before him.

Now, standing before a strange Gatekeeper, they were being labeled as weak.

"Even if you defeat me, you’ll still be weak. If that’s the case, what would the future of the Three Realms be?"

As he spoke, tears of crystal clarity surprisingly appeared in the middle-aged man’s eyes.

"Tears? I’m actually crying, no, absolutely not, this is merely Water Attribute Spiritual Power." The middle-aged man gently reached out a hand and caught the falling tear.

"Putting on a show; let’s see if you keep up this act after we defeat you," Donghuang roared angrily.

"I admire your courage, which is why I’ve decided to give you a chance. If you can touch my body, I’ll give you a generous reward," said the middle-aged man, looking at Donghuang and speaking slowly.

"Wow..." Even Mu Can was taken aback by the reward that the middle-aged man presented.

It was a handful of Divine Crystals, which appeared to number at least two hundred.

"These are the Divine Crystals I’ve collected. As long as you can touch any part of my body, I will give them all to you."

Perhaps moved by Donghuang’s courage, the embodiment of the Three Realms’ master decided to give Donghuang a chance.

"Darn it." Mu Can felt his breathing quicken.

Those nearly two hundred Divine Crystals, if given to him, meant he wouldn’t even need to go through this place to break directly into the Void Level.

"Wow, is this what they call a fool’s luck? Wang Cai also wants to participate in the challenge." Wang Cai, watching from the sidelines, felt almost unable to control himself, forcibly suppressing the desire to rush forward and grab all the Divine Crystals, he could only stare at the handful of Divine Crystals and drool.

"I accept your challenge," Donghuang nodded and agreed, as expected.

The avatar of the Three Realms’ master waved his hand lightly, and Mu Can and the others were pushed out of the Array by a gentle force.

"Be careful." Mu Can looked at Donghuang and cautioned.

Donghuang nodded without saying a word, but his solemn gaze proved that Donghuang was ready to give his all.

In fact, having fought together for so long, going through hundreds of levels of the tower, Mu Can knew that each of the four here had their hidden strengths, himself included.

In front of these people, he had never activated his Reincarnation Battle Armor, having at most used Mystic Dragon Nine Revolutions.

But now, Donghuang was facing the avatar of the Three Realms’ master alone.

"Good luck," whispered Wang Cheng, his tightly clenched fists proving his heart was not at peace either.

"Don’t worry, he won’t have a problem. He probably won’t even be able to touch a corner of their clothes," Wang Cai exercised his sarcastic nature.

"Donghuang is not that simple," Mu Can shook his head, disagreeing with Wang Cai’s statement.

"Who exactly is this person?" Dongfeng Shuo scrutinized the avatar of the Three Realms’ master, asking with perplexity.

"You’ve already got a certain answer in mind, haven’t you?" Mu Can looked at Dongfeng Shuo. He also had certain speculations about Dongfeng Shuo’s identity.

This person was certainly not simple and surely knew about the events of the past. However, he was not a participant.

"Could it be a survivor of that great battle from the past? Impossible, those people have almost all gone into hiding," Dongfeng Shuo spoke, but immediately denied his speculation.

"So you really know about the past events," said Mu Can, staring at Dongfeng Shuo.

"You’re not simple yourself, are you? These aren’t things that just anybody can know, right?" Instead of directly answering Mu Can’s question, Dongfeng Shuo expressed his suspicion of Mu Can.

"Heh, none of that is important. What I want to know is what you really think," Mu Can finally asked the question he had been wanting to ask all along.

Since he knew about the inter-dimensional demons’ war of the past, Mu Can was very curious about where this mysterious Dongfeng stood.

"Of course, I stand with the Three Realms. The Three Realms are my homeland, and that won’t change," Dongfeng Shuo said after some thought.

"That’s enough, let’s watch Donghuang’s performance," Mu Can nodded, ending their first probing conversation.

From the probing, it was roughly clear where Dongfeng Shuo stood.

Mu Can also heaved a sigh of relief, really not wanting to become enemies with Dongfeng Shuo, who was too mysterious.

While the two men were probing each other, Donghuang made his move.
