The Sky Fiend Demon Lord flipped his hand, and another jade bottle appeared in his palm. A trace of surprise flashed across everyone’s eyes. They didn’t understand his intentions. What does he want to do?

The cork was opened, and this time it was a flaming red pill that came out of it.

“Scarlet Origin Pill!”

Master Feng Lei’s voice cut through the air, and it was full of surprise. Although the Scarlet Origin Pill was far from being able to compare with the heaven-defying effects of the Heavenly Dust Pill, it was still one of the few Spirit Pills that could increase the skill of a Core Formation Stage cultivator.

It should be noted that the higher the realm, the more demanding the need for Spirit Pills was. After the condensation of a Golden Core, there were only a few types of Spirit Medicine that could increase their cultivation. There were still dozens of pill recipes left from ancient times. However, each type of material was extremely precious, and it was extremely difficult to prepare it.

And this Scarlet Origin was a very powerful kind of Spirit Pill.

Even if the Extreme Demon Venerable hadn’t come, Master Feng Lei knew that his cultivation was only among the bottom, and it was hopeless if he wanted to grasp the Heavenly Dust Pill.

But if the strong eat meat, he could still at least drink the soup, which was this Scarlet Origin Pill…

Of course, not everything was as simple as he thought. The Sky Fiend Demon Lord hated people like him. It was reasonable to surrender the Heavenly Dust Pill to live, but it was a bit strange to take the initiative to offer another Spirit Pill. What’s his motive?

No one wanted to be the first bird, and all of them have tacitly chosen to wait and see.

“If you want the Heavenly Dust Pill, then take it!”

Amidst his laughter, he suddenly joined the two Spirit Pill together, and a red light flashed through the palms of his hands.

“This is not good!”

The Extreme Demon Venerable reacted the fastest, and his expression changed drastically. Half of him suddenly turned black with hazy fog, and the black fog once again transformed into a giant ghostly claw, catching the Sky Fiend Demon Lord.

“Hahaha…”

Blood splattered like flowers, and the Demon Lord did not even try to dodge as his chest was directly pierced through by the ghostly claw. But the Extreme Demon Venerable did not show the slightest happiness, and his face was gloomy to the extreme.

“Hehe, old demon, no matter how powerful you are, if I can’t have it, then don’t think of obtaining it yourself.”

The Sky Fiend Demon Lord took the initiative to throw away the Spirit Pill in his hand. The Extreme Demon Venerable took it, and his complexion was even more ugly. The Heavenly Dust Pill and the Scarlet Origin Pill have been completely integrated by him with the Sky Fiend Demon Fire. In other words, the two Spirit Pills were with Impurities and had become a Trash Pill.

“You…”

As a Nascent Soul Stage Expert, his willpower was extremely deep. However, at this moment, he was trembling with anger and had miscalculated. He didn’t think that the other party would rather be a broken piece of jade and die in glory. He preferred to destroy the Spirit Pill.

“Senior brother, I have already given you the Heavenly Dust Pill. If you have the ability, you can try to separate it from the Scarlet Origin Pill.”

A big hole was on the Sky Fiend Demon Lord’s chest. Blood was flowing down like a fountain, but his expression was very proud. Even if in this life, he couldn’t kill the Extreme Demon Venerable, it could be regarded as letting out that bit of anger in his heart.

The Extreme Demon Venerable looked at the red and white pill in the palm of his hand. A Nascent Soul Stage cultivator did have the power of moving mountains and seas; however, regarding this, he was no different from the ordinary cultivator.

The two pills were fused together, regardless of each other’s differences, they became impure. To make a simple analogy, it was similar to refining a pill.

Trash Pills were harmful to the body, and it was impossible to remove the Impurities and turn them back into a useful Spirit Pill, which was the consensus of the Cultivation World.

For thousands of years, there have been people with wisdom and intelligence who tried to solve it, but no one was successful.

Although the Extreme Demon Venerable had very high self-esteem, it is not a lawless arrogance. He knew that among those talented people, certainly, someone’s wisdom was above his, but they also couldn’t do anything in the face of a Trash Pill.

“Good!”The Extreme Demon Venerable was extremely angry, “Junior brother, you are quite decisive, but by doing this, are you not afraid that I will refine your soul?”

Before he finished his words, his figure suddenly blurred, and actually turned into a ferocious face, and rushed toward the other party.

“Soul Refining? Humph, I don’t need you old demon to do it. “

There is no fear on the face of the Sky Fiend Demon Lord, and the black light once again burst out from his body. However, this time was not just a deterrent, but the Spiritual Qi with a radius of a few miles gathered here frantically.

“He wants to blow his soul up, get back!”

The Extreme Demon Venerable’s expression changed drastically, and others were also stunned, and they fled into the distance.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the Sky Fiend Demon Lord’s body swelled into a round ball by the influx of Spiritual Qi, and then exploded. Terrifying Spiritual Qi fluctuations swept like a hurricane. In a short while, the world changed color, and the sun and moon turned dim.

Master Feng Lei was the slowest, and seeing that the blast had already spread over. He gritted his teeth, then opened his Spirit Shield.

The two immortal swords shone with dazzling brilliance. The Spirit Barrier, supported by the Magic Artifact, was supposed to be very strong. However, at this moment, it was like bubbles in the wind, which may burst at any time!

The situation of other people was similar. The power of a soul’s detonation was not trivial. At this time, it was too late to escape. So they could only release their Spirit Shield and support it with all their Spiritual Qi.

A while later.

The clouds cleared and the dust dispersed. The power of the explosion has finally subsided.

Ouyang Qin opened her eyes, and the golden shield she released was already faltering. If the power was a bit stronger, she couldn’t imagine what would’ve happened.

Taibai Sword Immortal’s skills are much higher, and he was naturally safe and sound. As for the pair of cultivators from Thunder Cloud Mountain, although they are not very good at defense, they were two of them, and the Spirit Shields they released simultaneously was also very safe.

Of the Righteous Faction, only Master Feng Lei was the most unlucky. He was only in the Core Formation Initial Stage, so he escaped quite slowly. His Cultivation Method was also very general, after his Spirit Shield burst, he was actually killed by the Spiritual Qi storm.

Everyone was in miserable shape.

“Extreme Demon Venerable, are you okay?”

Suddenly, an anxious voice came into their ears, and listening to the Blood Demon Ancestor, the Righteous Path experts couldn’t help but be started, could it be that the Extreme Demon…

No way!
