System: This item is a precious possession belonging to the Heaven-exterminating True Monarch. Once touched, it will trigger the disdain of the Heaven-exterminating True Monarch towards you, and your favorability will directly drop to “dead enemy” status! Do you wish to continue? Yes/No

Song Jian was taken aback, a dead enemy?

Should the favorability truly drop to dead enemy status, there would likely be no chance of reconciliation with the Heaven-exterminating True Monarch ever again. A dead enemy meant an enemy for life; unless one party died, this kind of relationship wouldn’t possibly be lifted. Moreover, no matter how far Song Jian was from the Heaven-exterminating True Monarch, the possibility of the latter actively seeking revenge was terrifyingly greater than mere “hatred.”

Especially since the Heaven-exterminating True Monarch was an actual divine peak strength powerhouse who might’ve already reached God King Level; with Song Jian’s current strength, he was somewhat strained even against ordinary divine-level powerhouses, let alone a God King Level one.

“A God King Level powerhouse actively seeking revenge, just thinking about it feels terrifying!” Song Jian sighed, silently putting the alchemy furnace into his inventory.

In an instant, a line of blood-red system notification appeared in front of him.

System: Your relationship with the Heaven-exterminating True Monarch has dropped to “dead enemy” status! This status is permanently locked; peace will not be restored until one side is completely destroyed!

Song Jian laughed, seemingly unfazed, and turned to walk out of the Alchemy Palace.

“I bet you can’t come out!”

Having not made an appearance for a hundred thousand years, if he could appear, he would have done so by now. The Ascension Pill had already been successfully refined, and he hadn’t shown up, so it was highly likely that he was trapped or sealed. Besides, this was the Ascension Secret Realm; even if he regained his freedom, leaving the realm would not be easy.

“By the time you find me, I will probably have reached the God King Level strength as well!” Song Jian thought to himself.

…

At this moment, within the secret realm, located tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Alchemy Palace, there lay a sprawling complex of palaces, resplendent and golden.

The vast complex bathed in golden light, which made its surroundings seem like a celestial paradise.

Approaching, one would see that these palaces were enveloped by a dome of glittering golden light, and beyond that dome, an endless sea of black fog monsters swirled.

These black fog monsters lacked form and substance; they constantly altered their shapes, sometimes even merging with each other. With ferocious and twisted features, they ceaselessly battered the golden barrier to no avail, as waves crashing helplessly against the rocks.

At this time, countless guards clad in golden helmets and armor stood firmly in front of the palaces within the light dome. In one of these palaces, a dozen divine-level powerhouses in robes were seated in a circle inside the main hall, seemingly engaged in a discussion.

These dozen divine-level powerhouses, wearing robes of different colors, emitted an aura of terror, which would likely make any ordinary person tremble with fear at a mere glance.

Just then, an elder with white hair suddenly stood up, his face filled with anger as he exclaimed, “Insolence!”

All eyes turned towards the white-haired elder. At this moment, the golden-armored powerhouse in the seat of honor furrowed his brow and inquired, “Heaven-exterminating True Monarch, what has happened?”

“Your Majesty, the Ascension Pill I was refining has been stolen!” The white-haired elder bowed towards the seat of honor, his face still seething with anger, yet he spoke respectfully.

“The Ascension Pill?” someone beside the Heaven-exterminating True Monarch exclaimed in surprise. “Wasn’t the Ascension Pill something you started refining when the black fog devil first appeared? It’s been a hundred thousand years; you’ve actually succeeded?”

“`

“Indeed, I went to Abyssal Hell and captured a Flame Giant Demon, purged it of its demonic nature, and imprisoned it in an alchemy furnace. After I left, the Flame Giant was left to guard the furnace. A hundred thousand years have passed, and the Ascension Pill has been successfully crafted!” Heaven-exterminating True Monarch said.

“Heh, a creature from Hell? You haven’t shown yourself for a hundred thousand years, they probably thought you had long since fallen. Now that the Ascension Pill is made, it naturally belongs to them–nothing surprising!” a white-robed middle-aged man laughed out loud.

“Damn it, at the moment it took the Ascension Pill, it should have known that I hadn’t fallen, but it still dared to leave with the Ascension Pill. Such audacity! After I’ve killed those black fog demons, I will hunt it down no matter where it hides, whether in the heavens or the earth…” Heaven-exterminating True Monarch gritted his teeth, the fury in him almost palpable.

“I fear by the time you find it, the Ascension Pill will already have been consumed by it,” someone said gleefully, looking at Heaven-exterminating True Monarch with a smile.

“Hmph, even if it has consumed it, at most it will break through to the Demi-God Level. Such an existence can easily be eradicated by me!” Heaven-exterminating True Monarch snorted coldly, “I hope it’s smart enough to know that I haven’t fallen and properly guards the Ascension Pill. Otherwise, I will make it realize how easy death can be!”

“The Ascension Pill consumed by someone at the peak of the Legendary Realm is such a waste! They can absorb at most only one-tenth or two of its medicinal power,” another person said enviously, “That is a Divine Pill, best suited for God-level strongholds to consume. A single Divine Pill could at least create a God King Level powerhouse…”

“Such a pity, such a pity…” A group of strongholds shook their heads and sighed. Not to mention crafting, just searching for the materials required to make the Ascension Pill was already as difficult as reaching the heavens, let alone crafting it.

“Someday…” Heaven-exterminating True Monarch sat down resentfully, unable to hide the anger on his face.

Not long after sitting down, Heaven-exterminating True Monarch suddenly stood up again, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood, his complexion instantly turned pale and his body shook, muttering hatefully, “Thief…”

“Heaven-exterminating True Monarch, what’s happened to you?” a God-level stronghold beside him was shocked and hurried to support Heaven-exterminating True Monarch.

For a moment, more than a dozen God-level strongholds in the hall were also alarmed. Heaven-exterminating True Monarch looked as if he had sustained a grave injury that reached his core.

“True Monarch, it’s just an Ascension Pill, don’t be so angry that you harm your own body…”

“Heaven-exterminating True Monarch, as long as the black fog demons are eliminated, all of us from the Heavenly Palace will surely help you capture that Flame Giant Demon. There’s no need for such fury!”

…

People tried to persuade him, but Heaven-exterminating True Monarch’s complexion did not improve and seemed to show signs of getting worse.

“Heaven-exterminating True Monarch, what has happened to you?” the Master of the Heavenly Palace asked with furrowed brows, sensing that the Origin Power of Heaven-exterminating True Monarch was damaged, something that couldn’t be caused by mere anger.

“My Nine Profound Melting Sky Furnace has been stolen by that thief!” Heaven-exterminating True Monarch spewed another mouthful of blood, mumbling to himself.

“What, the Nine Profound Melting Sky Furnace stolen? That Flame Giant dared to be so bold and relentless, simply courting death!” The Master of the Heavenly Palace also showed a hint of shock on his face.

The Nine Profound Melting Sky Furnace of Heaven-exterminating True Monarch was an exquisite divine artifact, in the entire Heavenly Palace, only the Chaos Creation Furnace of the Master of the Heavenly Palace was slightly superior in quality.

“No, it’s not the Flame Giant, it’s someone else!” Heaven-exterminating True Monarch wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, laughed out of fury, and said, “The Nine Profound Melting Sky Furnace is my life-bound divine artifact, containing my Origin Power. No matter where it is in the world, I can sense its location. Once I regain my freedom, through this sense, I will catch that thief, no matter where, and shred him into a million pieces!”
