Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 407: Celestial King Returns! There’s Still a Chance!
Congratulations? Best wishes? I’ve obtained the Anomalous Fire?
Hearing these words felt like a knife to the heart for the Pill King.
His face became livid, and his body began to tremble slightly.
Song Xingyun and the others were so caught up in their excitement that they failed to notice the change in the Pill King’s expression. At that moment, they were still fantasizing about the future.
"Master is amazing! If he becomes a Pill Emperor, we can soar to great heights with him!"
All sorts of cheers and screams echoed endlessly.
The people from the Celestial King’s Mansion looked on in despair, filled with incredible resentment.
A Grandmaster spoke up, "Pill King, our Celestial King’s Mansion will definitely avenge this."
"Our Celestial King’s Mansion will not let this matter rest!"
"Just you wait! The Celestial King will be back soon!"
"All of you, shut up!" the Pill King suddenly roared, the sound earth-shattering.
Instantly, everyone fell silent.
Even the people from the Celestial King’s Mansion didn’t dare to utter any more threats.
Song Xingyun sneered, "You people from the Celestial King’s Mansion dared to threaten my master. You have angered him."
"Get on your knees, kowtow, and apologize immediately! Otherwise, you’re all doomed."
Song Xingyun’s face was filled with glee as he imagined forcing these Grandmasters from the Celestial King’s Mansion to kneel before them.
But at that very moment, a sharp slap landed across his face.
Song Xingyun was sent sprawling to the ground.
Master, why did you hit me? Song Xingyun was completely bewildered. Shouldn’t you be hitting the people from the Celestial King’s Mansion?
The others also exchanged confused glances. Why did the Pill King hit the wrong person?
The Pill King’s face was livid. "Idiot, shut up!"
"I didn’t obtain the Anomalous Fire at all!"
What?
Song Xingyun was stunned!
Chen Benlei was stunned!
Li Badao was stunned!
Master Guo was stunned!
Everyone from the Pill King’s Mansion was stunned!
Everyone from the Celestial King’s Mansion was stunned!
At this moment, everyone was utterly stunned!
Heavens! What did they just hear?
The Pill King did not obtain the Anomalous Fire!
Was that even true?
"That’s impossible," Master Guo jumped out and said. "I clearly helped you break the array. You should have been able to see the Anomalous Fire."
"With your strength, how could you have failed to obtain it?"
"Pill King, you aren’t trying to go back on your word, are you? We had an agreement. I would only help you break the array, regardless of whether you succeeded. Those two elixirs are mine."
Chen Benlei and Li Badao, both Grandmasters, also chimed in, "Pill King, don’t joke with us."
"Yes, Master, stop teasing us."
"You are the Pill King! How could you not obtain the Anomalous Fire?"
Song Xingyun and the other disciples couldn’t believe it either.
"I truly did not obtain the Anomalous Fire. It’s not that I lacked the strength, but that I never even got the chance," the Pill King said, gritting his teeth.
"When I arrived, the Anomalous Fire had already vanished. Someone else got it before me."
What!
The moment he spoke, the entire area was thrown into an uproar.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
In the next moment, all eyes turned toward the people from the Celestial King’s Mansion.
If anyone could have seized the opportunity first, it must have been them. Could it be that they obtained the Anomalous Fire?
The people from the Celestial King’s Mansion were also baffled. What was going on?
The Anomalous Fire disappeared? This is impossible! The Pill King must be lying! He must have obtained the Anomalous Fire but doesn’t want to offend our Mansion or be hunted by the Celestial King, so he’s pretending he failed. Hmph, does he think such a petty trick can fool us?
The Grandmasters from the Celestial King’s Mansion sneered, refusing to be deceived.
The Pill King, however, was grinding his teeth. He felt as though he’d been played for a fool.
Damn it, who was this person? Who would dare to play me? Who snatched the Anomalous Fire right from under my nose?
This person must have acted after the Celestial King’s main body left, which meant they were only a little faster than him.
Thinking of this, the Pill King asked, "Before I entered the magma, who else went in?"
"Did you notice any suspicious individuals?"
"Suspicious individuals?" Master Guo and Li Benlei shook their heads.
Their attention had previously been focused entirely on the Grandmasters from the Celestial King’s Mansion.
They hadn’t paid any mind to anyone else.
"I can confirm that no one from the Celestial King’s Mansion went in," Master Guo and the others stated.
"As for whether there were any other suspicious people, I’m not sure."
The Pill King’s expression darkened upon hearing this. Damn it, were there no clues at all?
"I remember something!" Song Xingyun suddenly exclaimed.
"What did you remember? Hurry up and say it!" the Pill King urged.
Song Xingyun covered his swollen face and said, "Master, someone did indeed go in before you did. It was the Champion Marquis."
Right.
As soon as he said that, the others also remembered.
The Champion Marquis had indeed emerged from the magma.
But he shouldn’t have been able to break the array.
No matter how strong the Champion Marquis was, he was still just a Grandmaster. How could he possibly break the Fire Dragon Array?
It couldn’t have been him.
Chen Benlei, Li Badao, and the other Grandmasters shook their heads in disagreement.
The Champion Marquis was here too! The Pill King’s eyes widened.
This Champion Marquis was no ordinary person.
He was also a top-tier alchemy genius.
Could it have been him who obtained the Anomalous Fire?
"Impossible," Master Guo shook his head. "That kid couldn’t have broken the Fire Dragon Array. He doesn’t have the means to do so."
"Let me put it this way: in the entire Great Xia Country, besides myself, you won’t find a second person capable of breaking that array within three days."
Chen Benlei added, "I’ve also heard of this Champion Marquis. Isn’t it said that he has already mastered one type of Anomalous Fire?"
"Could he possibly master a second type?"
Anomalous Fire was one of the strongest flames in existence.
While there were many different Anomalous Fires in the world, they were mutually incompatible.
This meant that no matter how heaven-defying a person’s luck was, they could only ever master a single Anomalous Fire.
Attempting to master two was simply impossible.
The two fires would instantly collide, tearing the Alchemy Master to shreds.
No matter how exceptional Lin Xuan was, he could not master two Anomalous Fires.
"It shouldn’t be him."
"There must have been someone else."
"I suspect this person must also be a King-level expert. Otherwise, it would be impossible to snatch the Anomalous Fire right under our noses."
Everyone discussed animatedly, all of them convinced it wasn’t Lin Xuan.
Yet the Pill King said, "No, this Champion Marquis is quite uncanny. He seems to have created many miracles."
"And at such a young age, he already possesses an Anomalous Fire. His luck is truly heaven-defying. It’s very likely he was the one who took the Anomalous Fire this time."
What? Was it really him?
Song Xingyun was dumbstruck.
Master Guo stood frozen in shock.
Chen Benlei shook his head frantically, refusing to believe it.
The Pill King continued, "It’s true that Anomalous Fires are incompatible. However, it’s possible the Champion Marquis only took the fire away without fusing with it yet."
"Yes, that must be it! The Anomalous Fire is in his hands!"
"Quick, find the Champion Marquis!"
With that, the Pill King soared into the sky and flew out of the volcano.
Behind him, the people of the Pill King’s Mansion followed one after another, and they quickly disappeared from sight.
「A short while later.」
A figure descended from the sky with overwhelming power, causing the entire volcano to shake.
"Where is the Pill King? Where is he?!" A thunderous voice accompanied the arrival.
The Celestial King was back!
The people from the Celestial King’s Mansion rushed over excitedly. "The Pill King has already left."
"What do you mean, left?" The Celestial King’s pupils contracted sharply.
He asked anxiously, "Did he break the array?"
"He broke it. The Pill King brought the number one Array Master of the Great Xia Country and broke the Fire Dragon Array."
How could this be? The Celestial King stood there stunned, his mind buzzing as he nearly fainted.
Damn it! I went through so much trouble to find the Anomalous Fire, only for the Pill King to snatch it away! This is infuriating!
But just then, a Grandmaster said, "The Pill King didn’t obtain the Anomalous Fire."
What does that mean? The Celestial King was stunned. The Pill King failed to subdue the Anomalous Fire? Then I still have a chance!
Without waiting for his subordinate to finish, the Celestial King instantly plunged into the magma.
Soon, he once again encountered the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon.
By this point, cracks had already appeared on the dragon’s body.
The Celestial King easily slipped through the cracks, bypassing the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon and reaching the bottom of the magma.
Gazing at the cyan glow at the bottom, the Celestial King was so excited his body trembled.
This is the aura of the Anomalous Fire! Fantastic! It seems my luck is truly incredible! The Pill King failed to claim the Anomalous Fire, which means it’s mine!
Thinking of this, the Celestial King rushed forward.
