The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1048 - Chapter 1048 Chapter 1047 Old Dried Corpse Awakens

Chapter 1048: Chapter 1047: Old Dried Corpse Awakens Chapter 1048: Chapter 1047: Old Dried Corpse Awakens Tang Emperor personally arrived, sword in hand.

The Sky-Swallowing Fox battled alone against Tang Emperor, Qin Emperor, and the three great Elders, its demon power was formidable and it shocked the surrounding lands.

Even though the Sky-Swallowing Fox was immensely powerful, it was difficult for her to withstand such a force at this moment; she was strong, but not strong enough to disregard all the powerful beings of the world.

Yet the Sky-Swallowing Fox still did not retreat, and kept fiercely battling, forcing the three great Elders to continuously retreat and even made Tang Emperor wield his full power.

“You cannot reverse the situation, why don’t you stop?” Tang Emperor frowned slightly, continually attacking as he spoke.

The Sky-Swallowing Fox just sneered coldly but did not reply, her plans unknown.

The battle became more intense, and Monkey Head Town around, had been nearly destroyed by the aftermath of these great beings clashing.

Yet this tiny Monkey Head Town remained seemingly unaffected, so much so that even the most short-sighted could see there was something strange about it.

Right then, Fang Lin suddenly felt a long-missed disturbance coming from inside the Nine Palace Bag.

“Hm, unexpected that I would wake up to such a grand scene.” An aged and hoarse voice sounded, it was the Old Dried Corpse’s voice.

Fang Lin was immediately overjoyed, the Old Dried Corpse had finally awakened, and he had not expected it to sleep for so long.

“Boy, you have grown much stronger. Have you thought about making the Nirvana Pill for me? It has been a long time since our agreement.” the Old Dried Corpse said.

Fang Lin smiled wryly in his heart, “I also wish to craft the Nirvana Pill as soon as possible, but I still lack the Phoenix Spirit Jade Branch, though all other ingredients are ready.”

The Old Dried Corpse chuckled, “Since that is the case, there is no rush for now. The Phoenix Spirit Jade Branch is indeed not easy to obtain. Yet the current situation is quite interesting.”

Fang Lin quickly asked, “Can you see if there is anything unusual about this place?”

The Old Dried Corpse was silent for a moment, then said, “There is a very powerful fellow nearby, but it seems trapped.”

Hearing this, Fang Lin understood. It seemed that the missing Demon Saint of the past generation was indeed nearby, and judging from the Old Dried Corpse’s words, it was likely that the past generation Demon Saint was trapped somewhere.

What kind of place could trap a Demon Saint?

Or rather, what kind of person has the ability to trap a Demon Saint?

“Old Dried Corpse, can you locate that trapped being?” Fang Lin asked.

The Old Dried Corpse sighed and said, “I cannot find it; I can only sense its presence because it emits the same Demon Saint energy, but as to where it is exactly trapped, it remains unknown.”

Fang Lin frowned upon hearing this if even the Old Dried Corpse could not sense it, then even if he knew the former Demon Saint was nearby, what significance did it hold?

Could it be possible to search every place within tens of thousands of miles?

At this moment, the situation suddenly changed.

Tang Emperor’s expression shifted, he stopped his sword intent, and looked gravely at the Sky-Swallowing Fox.

“Tang Emperor, aren’t you going back to Tang Country?” the Sky-Swallowing Fox taunted with a sneer.

Tang Emperor hesitated for a moment, and finally sheathed his sword and left without attacking the Sky-Swallowing Fox further.

Everyone was shocked. Why had Tang Emperor left just like that? Was he really going to let the Sky-Swallowing Fox stir up trouble in this land?

But soon, shocking news rapidly spread across the Nine Countries.

All over, demon beasts revolted, causing disasters in Tang Country, Yuan Country, and even within Qing Nation.

Moreover, Giant Demon Kings of the Six Transformations realm had appeared, not just one, and they were wreaking havoc across the Upper Three Countries.

Demon Beasts caused catastrophic disasters within the borders of Tang Country, with several cities destroyed in an instant. Even the outskirts of Tang Capital saw the emergence of extremely formidable Demon Beasts, intending to attack Tang Capital.

In such circumstances, Tang Emperor had no interest in dealing with the Sky-Swallowing Fox any longer, and he had to immediately return to Tang Country to suppress those riotous Demon Beasts.

“Qin Emperor, you never showed yourself, did you already know I would end up like this?” Sky-Swallowing Fox sneered repeatedly, looking towards the direction of Qin Capital.

“Hmph!” A cold snort rose from within the Qin Imperial Palace, and Qin Emperor once again struck from afar, launching a forceful palm strike directly at Sky-Swallowing Fox.

This palm strike, infused with Qin Emperor’s unrivaled power, bore the momentum to annihilate all beings.

Sky-Swallowing Fox’s Demon Qi swept up, transforming into a gigantic fox claw, and explosively collided with that palm.

This collision forced the three Elders to retreat repeatedly, not daring to come too close, afraid of being caught in the fray.

As masterful as they were, even they had to steer well clear of the confrontation between Sky-Swallowing Fox and Qin Emperor, showing great fear.

“Why haven’t the Four Heaven Kings appeared yet? Can it be that they intend to just watch without intervening?” The three Elders Tiankui were deeply puzzled. Considering the major disturbance caused by Sky-Swallowing Fox, even figures like Qin Emperor and Tang Emperor had taken action, yet none of the Four Heaven Kings had shown themselves? This was highly unusual.

Now, with Tang Emperor gone, only the three Elders stood against the Sky-Swallowing Fox, alongside Qin Emperor’s distant strikes. With this, the pressure on Sky-Swallowing Fox diminished significantly, making the situation look grim.

“I’m here to help!” Just then, a figure streaked across the sky.

“This old man is here to lend a hand as well.”

“To combat Demon Beasts, we must not shirk our duty!”

****

Figure after figure, each a formidable strength, all transcended the Spirit Source realm.

Many among them hailed from Alchemy Tao families, including two powerful members of the Long Family who arrived to assist the three Elders.

“Thank you, everyone!” the three Elders expressed their gratitude. As everyone joined forces, their Inner Strength surged vastly, finally making the Sky-Swallowing Fox feel some pressure.

But that was all.

The realm of Sky-Swallowing Fox was wholly above all of theirs. Even the addition of more powerful beings did not fundamentally change anything.

Only Qin Emperor’s intervention made Sky-Swallowing Fox truly wary. Without Qin Emperor to keep her in check, including the three Elders, they all had to retreat, not daring to confront Sky-Swallowing Fox head-on.

“Old man, won’t you take action?” Fang Lin asked Old Dried Corpse in his mind.

Old Dried Corpse laughed, “My physical body is incomplete now, I can’t defeat that fox.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin asked further, “What if your physical body is restored?”

Old Dried Corpse boasted, “If my physical body is restored, beating her would be child’s play.”

“Even among Demon Saints, is there a difference in strength?” Fang Lin asked.

Old Dried Corpse responded, “Naturally, there is. The strength of the first-generation Demon Saints is undoubtedly the strongest, but even I don’t know to what extent the first-generation Demon Saints were powerful. Every subsequent generation of Demon Saints has some slight disparities in strength, and besides, that fox isn’t even a Demon Saint, and she certainly can’t be compared with me.”

Suddenly, Old Dried Corpse seemed to remember something and said, “Let that little dog out; maybe it can lead you to where this generation’s Demon Saint is trapped.”

The moment Fang Lin heard this, he also slapped his forehead. How could he have forgotten about the Golden-haired puppy? This creature was an anomaly among Demon Beasts, capable of instilling fear in myriad demons and possessing many inexplicable special qualities.
