The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1298 - Chapter 1298 Chapter 1397 Fire Cloud Ant

Chapter 1298: Chapter 1397: Fire Cloud Ant Chapter 1298: Chapter 1397: Fire Cloud Ant Fang Lin had lost his identity from his previous life, his power, and his brilliance.

But he was, after all, once a formidable figure who stood at the pinnacle of Alchemy Tao. No matter how the years turned, no matter how the world changed, no matter how much time had passed, his soul inevitably persisted.

The Pill Sovereign Soul still resided within Fang Lin.

Any who dared to offend the Pill Sovereign would inevitably suffer backlash.

The Ling Family once had an ignorant youngster who spoke recklessly about the Pill Sovereign. He immediately suffered the backlash from the heavens and earth, sustaining severe injuries that left chronic issues nearly impossible to heal.

Fang Lin’s Pill Sovereign Soul could not be erased by any means. The mere notion of using a three sect secret skill to annihilate Fang Lin’s soul was akin to throwing eggs against rocks.

It could be said that in the aspect of the soul, Fang Lin was an invincible presence.

Yin Wuyan could hardly believe it. She had great confidence in the secret skill of the three sects. Fang Lin’s realm was comparable to her own; he should have undoubtedly died after being targeted by such a secret skill, yet Fang Lin had survived, which she couldn’t comprehend.

She naturally wouldn’t know the vast secrets Fang Lin bore or understand how terrifying his soul was.

“Kid, are you sure you’re alright?” Old Dried Corpse was still a bit worried and asked.

After all, often times, some internal injuries go unnoticed, but they have already left marks within the body. Initially undetected, they could lead to severe consequences once they exacerbate later.

Fang Lin shook his head, he knew he was not injured, his soul was intact.

“Yin Wuyan, you truly are skilled. If it had been someone else, they probably would have died by your hand,” Fang Lin said to Yin Wuyan with a cold expression.

Yin Wuyan’s face had completely changed. Fang Lin hadn’t been killed by her, and now she probably would be the one to suffer.

Without any politeness, Fang Lin ordered the Demon Puppet to kill Yin Wuyan.

You must be joking, this woman almost killed him with her underhanded tactics; how could he let her live? By having the Demon Puppet do it instead of doing it himself, Fang Lin was already showing the utmost mercy.

As for cherishing the fairer sex, that was not within Fang Lin’s considerations. No matter how young or beautiful a woman was, if she was his enemy, Fang Lin would show no mercy. He would kill without hesitation, execute without second thought. Countless women had died by Fang Lin’s hand, and he had never shown mercy, not even to Miss Dugu who, back in the day, had acted arrogantly in front of him. He had fiercely beaten her and hung her on a tree, completely humiliating the proud Miss Dugu.

Moreover, it was this Yin Wuyan, who had almost cost him his life, and she was a person of the three sect, an enemy through and through.

The Demon Puppet merely grabbed Yin Wuyan’s neck with one hand, ready to crush it.

At that moment, however, the small bell on Yin Wuyan’s waist suddenly jingled sharply. The Demon Puppet’s movement halted abruptly, and even Fang Lin stiffened, as if restrained by some invisible force.

In an instant, Yin Wuyan broke free from the Demon Puppet’s grasp and struck towards Fang Lin with her palm, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

Fang Lin couldn’t move, only able to watch as Yin Wuyan approached him; the brief moment felt endlessly prolonged for him.

“Hmph!” With a cold snort from Old Dried Corpse, Yin Wuyan, as if struck by a heavy blow, spewed a mouthful of fresh blood. She failed to reach Fang Lin and was sent flying backwards instead.

Yin Wuyan finally realized that there was indeed an extremely formidable being present within Fang Lin, and with that person’s presence, she couldn’t harm Fang Lin.

Using the momentum of her recoil, Yin Wuyan didn’t pause but directly fled towards the distance.

“Chase her!” As the restraints faded, Fang Lin immediately ordered the Demon Puppet to pursue and kill Yin Wuyan, he was determined to have her dead.

Unfortunately, after the Demon Puppet gave chase, it couldn’t catch up to Yin Wuyan. It was as if she had suddenly vanished without a trace, leaving Fang Lin unable to pursue her.

Fang Lin recalled the Demon Puppet and sighed inwardly.

“This little girl is not simple at all,” the Old Dried Corpse remarked.

Fang Lin said, “Her waist bell, I didn’t expect it to also be a treasure. Even the Demon Puppet was influenced by it.”

“That bell is indeed strange; I was also affected a bit, but its influence on me was minimal,” the Old Dried Corpse added.

Fang Lin frowned slightly. Yin Wuyan was clearly not an easy target. She probably had quite a few treasures from the Three Sect. Otherwise, Situ Yue wouldn’t have been so confident in letting her disciple roam the Nine Countries, let alone enter this unknown area.

To kill Yin Wuyan, Fang Lin needed to find another opportunity and make sure it was a decisive strike. Giving Yin any chance would allow her to escape.

Three days later, Fang Lin came across a bizarre place.

The trees here were sparse, but the deeper he went, the darker the surroundings became, as if the light was slowly being devoured.

To be cautious, Fang Lin had taken out his golden-furred dog to guard against the ambushes of Demon Beasts.

However, after a long walk, even though there were hardly any trees around, Fang Lin had not encountered any Demon Beasts. Instead, he saw many bones.

Most bones belonged to Demon Beasts, some completely intact, others broken and incomplete. There were also a few Human Clan bones.

Although this place had an eerie appearance, in order to find clues to exit this dense forest, the more mysterious and unusual places needed to be explored. If he avoided them, he might end up trapped here forever.

With the Demon Puppet and the Demon Beast-slaying golden-furred dog at his side, even if this place held dangers, Fang Lin was confident he could retreat safely.

“Hmm?” Suddenly, Fang Lin discovered a skeleton, dripping with fresh blood and still bearing some flesh, and it was a human skeleton.

Fang Lin noticed that the skeleton’s left arm was ripped off at the shoulder, seemingly torn off forcefully.

Fang Lin immediately knew that these were Zhou Meng’s skeletal remains; he had died here, with nothing left but bones.

The golden-furred dog, perched on Fang Lin’s shoulder, suddenly barked twice toward the front.

Fang Lin looked up, directing his gaze ahead.

He saw masses of red insects crawling out from the darkness ahead, swarming like a tide, making his scalp tingle.

Fang Lin’s pupils constricted, recognizing these creatures immediately. It was a unique type of Demon Beast.

“It’s actually Fire Cloud Ants! These Demon Insects still exist,” Fang Lin exclaimed.

The Old Dried Corpse was also surprised, “It really is Fire Cloud Ants. It’s unexpected to find so many here; they’re probably extinct outside.”

Fire Cloud Ants, while not individually powerful, possessed uniquely resilient bodies and vitality.

But the ants’ defining feature was their terrifying reproduction rate. Within just ten days, they could multiply into thousands.
