Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 406: The Pill King Is Stunned! Where Did the Anomalous Fire Go?

Chapter 406: Chapter 406: The Pill King Is Stunned! Where Did the Anomalous Fire Go?

Neither the people from the Celestial King’s Mansion nor the Pill King’s Mansion were paying any more attention to Lin Xuan. In their eyes, he must have already failed and left. Their gazes turned forward once more. I wonder if the Pill King will succeed?

"Master will definitely succeed in breaking the Array and obtaining the Anomalous Fire," Song Xingyun and the others said, clenching their fists in anticipation.

The experts from the Celestial King’s Mansion, however, wore worried frowns. Celestial King, you must hurry back, they prayed silently. Quickly put a stop to all of this.

「Dragon Moon Ancient Land」

The vicinity of the Dragon Vein was incredibly lively. The Long Ming Legion had already moved their camp to this area. But besides the Long Ming Legion, there were others present. Assassins sent by the Hidden Moon Country were here to assassinate the Champion Marquis.

The Celestial King had also arrived and was hiding nearby. For days, he had been searching for any sign of Lin Xuan but had found nothing. He’s probably still inside the Dragon Vein, he guessed. He prepared to wait, ready to kill his opponent the moment he emerged.

But on this day, he received several messages from his subordinates. His doppelgänger had been killed! The Pill King had led an assault on Flame Mountain and defeated his doppelgänger! Now, they were in the process of breaking the Fire Dragon Array!

The Celestial King’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

"Damn it!" he roared angrily before turning and leaving.

Like a bolt of lightning, he shot into the sky and flew into the distance. The powerful force he released was world-shaking, causing the mountains below to tremble.

What’s happening? The members of the legion were on high alert. The Dragon Commander soared into the sky, his expression grave as he watched the disappearing figure. That’s the aura of a King. There was a King hiding here! What could he be planning?

The Dragon Commander descended from the sky and returned to the camp. "Strengthen the patrols," he ordered coldly. "Prevent any ambushes."

In response, the entire legion moved with haste. The assassins from the Hidden Moon Country, who had been lying in wait to make their move, had no choice but to retreat helplessly.

「Flame Mountain」

The atmosphere was extremely tense. Two days had passed, and earth-shattering draconic roars echoed from within the magma. It was obvious that a frantic attempt to break the Array was underway inside. But for now, it seemed it had not been completely broken yet.

Why hasn’t it been broken yet? The people from the Pill King’s Mansion were extremely anxious. According to their calculations, it would take the Celestial King’s main body about three days to return. Two days had already passed, leaving only one more before he arrived to fight his way back. If they couldn’t break the Array within that day, their chance would be lost.

The people from the Celestial King’s Mansion, however, grew excited.

"Pill King, you don’t stand a chance!"

"The Celestial King will be back soon! You’re doomed!"

Inside the magma, the Pill King was just as anxious. "Master Guo, hurry up!" he urged. "There’s no time left, only one day! If you can break this Array within a day, I will not only give you the Realm-breaking Pill but the Bodhi Pill as well! Please, break the Array quickly!"

"Alright." A fierce light shone in Master Guo’s eyes. For the sake of those two Elixirs, he had to give it his all.

The next moment, his hands began to form seals, and mysterious symbols appeared one after another on his body. The symbols quickly converged toward his fingers.

Master Guo said, "Next, I will use an Ultimate Skill called Piercing the Profound with One Finger. Normally, this is a peerless technique that only a King can execute, but to break this Array, I’ll have to risk my life. It will take me half a day to prepare it."

The Pill King began to wait anxiously.

Half a day passed quickly.

Master Guo’s finger was now completely covered in runes, radiating a brilliant golden light.

Master Guo shouted coldly, "Piercing the Profound with One Finger!"

His finger pointed toward the Eight Desolations Fire Dragon. Everything in its path was pierced. The body of the Eight Desolations Fire Dragon was pierced straight through!

"Go in! Quickly!" Master Guo yelled.

The Pill King no longer hesitated. He followed the fissure and instantly passed through the Eight Desolations Fire Dragon.

I finally succeeded! Master Guo was ecstatic. But in the next instant, his face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He became incredibly weak in a single moment. This is bad.

Master Guo quickly flew up and out of the magma. Soon, he was back on the shore.

"It’s Master Guo!" The people from the Pill King’s Mansion saw him and rushed over. "How did it go? Did you succeed?" they asked nervously.

It must have failed, right? The people from the Celestial King’s Mansion also watched with bated breath. A Grandmaster said, "How could he possibly succeed? It’s only been two and a half days. He couldn’t have broken the Array."

"That’s right! The Celestial King tried for months and failed. There’s no way he could have succeeded!"

But Master Guo simply chuckled. "I succeeded. I broke the Array, and the Pill King has entered it."

"Really? That’s wonderful!" The people from the Pill King’s Mansion erupted in cheers. With the Pill King’s methods, as long as he reached the Anomalous Fire, he could surely subdue it. With the Anomalous Fire, Master’s alchemy will reach an even higher level. Perhaps he could even break through and become a Pill Emperor in the future! The people from the Pill King’s Mansion were ecstatic.

The people from the Celestial King’s Mansion, on the other hand, looked ashen. The Grandmasters were in utter despair. They actually broke the Array? How could this be?

"Damn it, who in the world is this black-robed man?"

"Breaking the Array in just two days is unbelievable."

"Everyone calls him Master Guo... Could he be the renowned Array Master of the Great Xia Country?"

"It must be him!"

"I heard his accomplishments in Arrays are incredible."

"It seems he even helped arrange the Arrays in the Imperial City!"

"Holy crap, so it’s him! No wonder he could break the Fire Dragon Array so quickly!"

"In the Great Xia Country, if he claims to be second in Array proficiency, no one would dare claim to be first!"

"The Pill King has some serious connections to have even invited Master Guo."

The exclamations from the Celestial King’s Mansion were filled with shock. They were in despair. It’s over. It’s a lost cause. Even if the Celestial King gets back, it will be too late. The Anomalous Fire is going to be taken by the Pill King. All our efforts were for nothing.

Deep within the magma, the Pill King moved past the Eight Desolations Fire Dragon. He discovered a patch of azure light ahead. This light was incredibly dazzling and carried an intense, scorching aura. The Pill King’s heart pounded wildly. This is the aura of an Anomalous Fire! Excellent, there really is an Anomalous Fire here!

His figure flickered as he rushed forward. Five types of flames circled around him—his supreme Spiritual Fire, the Five Elements Spiritual Fire.

The Five Elements Spiritual Fire instantly tore through the azure light, and the Pill King charged inside. But upon entering, he froze. The smile on his face stiffened. He found the space within the azure light completely empty; the Anomalous Fire he had imagined was nowhere to be seen.

Where did the Anomalous Fire go? The Pill King’s eyes widened as he frantically searched his surroundings. Nothing. There was still nothing! There was no Anomalous Fire here at all, only its lingering aura. This proved that an Anomalous Fire had been here before, but now it was gone.

Could someone have taken it? Damn it, who was it? Was it the Celestial King? No, that can’t be right. The Celestial King shouldn’t have been able to break the Array. Besides him, who else could have come here?

The Pill King was mad with rage. He had paid an enormous price to get here, only for his efforts to fall short at the last moment!

"Damn it! Don’t let me find out who stole the Anomalous Fire, or I will obliterate them!" the Pill King roared. The Five Elements Spiritual Fire around him erupted, sweeping through the area and causing the entire sea of fire to surge violently.

The Pill King charged out of the azure light. Instead of leaving immediately, he continued to search the surroundings. He turned the entire magma sea upside down but still found nothing. It seemed someone had indeed taken it. Damn it all! Someone beat me to it!

The Pill King let out a final roar as he shot into the sky, bursting out of the magma.

"The Pill King is out!" the people waiting outside exclaimed.

Chen Benlei and Li Badao rushed over, clasping their fists. "Congratulations, Pill King!"

Song Xingyun and the other disciples cheered excitedly, "Congratulations, Master, on obtaining the Anomalous Fire!"

Master Guo also chuckled. "Congratulations, Pill King. With the Anomalous Fire, it won’t be long before you break through and become the Pill Emperor."
