The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1412 - Chapter 1412 Chapter 1510 The Power of the Great Longevity

Chapter 1412: Chapter 1510: The Power of the Great Longevity Ones Chapter 1412: Chapter 1510: The Power of the Great Longevity Ones The Taoist Sect’s innate Purple Fire, rooted in the Yin Yang Two Energies, burned fiercely with Tao Fire of utmost strength.

Only those within the Taoist Sect with extremely profound cultivation could develop the capability to refine Tao Fire.

Clearly, Wang Linlang was one such person who had refined the Innate Tao Fire. Enveloped in Purple Fire, the Skyfire in the vicinity struggled to come close to him.

Fang Lin watched Wang Linlang, who stood amidst a sea of flames with a slight smile, also fixing his gaze on Fang Lin.

“The Ancient Lamp of Flame God is your greatest reliance. Now that these flames can’t harm me, what other tricks do you have?” Wang Linlang said, walking slowly toward Fang Lin, protected by the Innate Tao Fire.

Fang Lin’s expression remained unchanged, and he spoke, “You’re underestimating the Ancient Lamp of Flame God.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than the surrounding Skyfire suddenly grew more intense. Nature’s spiritual energy was devoured by the Skyfire, increasingly magnifying the blaze.

The reason why Skyfire was known as such was not just because it was born from the depths of the cosmos but also because it could use nature’s spiritual energy as a catalyst to further strengthen itself–sharing a subtle ingenuity with Wang Linlang’s Innate Tao Fire in burning the Yin Yang Two Energies.

As the fire grew more fierce, Wang Linlang’s Innate Tao Fire seemed increasingly overstretched, pressed down by the Skyfire, becoming weaker and weaker.

Wang Linlang’s eyebrows knitted together, and as he waved his hands, the surrounding flames were immediately suppressed by a force, becoming much weaker.

Seizing the opportunity, Wang Linlang, with his body clad in Purple Fire, rushed directly in front of Fang Lin, releasing his palms together in an attempt to finish Fang Lin on the spot.

Fang Lin let out a cold snort, with his left hand transforming into a Kylin and his right manifesting a True Dragon. His fists flew out in unison, boldly clashing against Wang Linlang’s palms.

With a loud ‘bang,’ at the moment of their fist and palm collision, the entire space seemed to twist. Afterward, both of them retreated, Fang Lin falling further back, his body slightly shaking.

A trace of purple Tao Fire contaminated Fang Lin’s fist, intent on burning through the Kylin armor on his body.

However, Fang Lin merely shook his fist and the Purple Fire was absorbed by the power of the Ancient Lamp of Flame God. Fang Lin could distinctly feel that the Lamp gained a fraction more strength, originating from that Purple Fire.

The enhancement to the Ancient Lamp of Flame God consequently added a sliver of strength to Fang Lin’s inner power, but this increase was nearly negligible and essentially useless.

In the next moment, the two were locked in combat again. Relying on the Power of the Demon Bone, coupled with the strength provided by the Ancient Lamp of Flame God and heavenly martial arts, Fang Lin was barely able to fight Wang Linlang to a draw.

Yet Wang Linlang’s strength was clearly far superior to Fang Lin’s; after all, he was one of the Great Longevity Ones, and his power was no laughing matter.

Although Fang Lin could contend with him, he was continuously at a disadvantage and consistently repressed by Wang Linlang.

As time passed, Fang Lin gradually began to show signs of defeat.

“You are ultimately just a Spirit Source!” Wang Linlang exclaimed loudly, seven dazzling stars emerging behind him and violently hurtling towards Fang Lin.

Fang Lin, without uttering a sound, gripped the White Bone Dragon Spear and shattered all seven of the whistling stars that came flying at him.

These seven stars were the embodiment of Wang Linlang’s power, containing the qi of a Great Longevity One. Although Fang Lin’s White Bone Dragon Spear was as tough as a Dragon Bone, by the time it shattered the sixth star, the shaft had already begun to crack. After barely shattering the seventh star, Fang Lin’s White Bone Dragon Spear completely split apart.

Not only that, but Fang Lin himself had also sustained no small amount of shock. At this moment, his internal organs were aching, and the burden brought upon his body by the Ancient Lamp of Flame God was growing heavier and heavier, leaving Fang Lin in unspeakable suffering.

But Fang Lin never let Wang Linlang perceive this. Even though his body was nearly at its limit, Fang Lin kept on toughing it out. He absolutely could not let an expert like Wang Linlang see any sign of weakness; otherwise, his defeat would be certain.

“Indeed, the Great Longevity Ones are formidable, and in the end, the gap in cultivation is too great. If I were in the Minor Longevity Realm, I wouldn’t be struggling so much against Wang Linlang,” Fang Lin muttered to himself, with a hint of helplessness.

Although Fang Lin had extremely high talent, deep opportunities, and lacked no resources–whatever pill he wanted to eat, he could refine himself–it could be said that Fang Lin was the one person who was least in need of pills under the heavens.

Even the Pill Alliance, despite having many pills, couldn’t possibly produce some of the lost heritage pills and certain rare ones.

But Fang Lin was different. The number of pill formulas he knew was countless; no type of pill could stump him.

Presently, Fang Lin, being just over twenty years old, had already stepped into the Spirit Source Realm. To any martial artist, this was an unimaginably rapid promotion and to describe him as an unrivaled genius was not an exaggeration.

But Fang Lin’s time spent in practice was still too short. Others had cultivated for hundreds or even a thousand years. No matter how talented he was or how deep his opportunities were, it was unrealistic to catch up within a mere few years.

Such was the case for a powerful figure like Wang Linlang, who would have had eight or nine hundred, or even a thousand years of cultivation to achieve today’s cultivation.

Fang Lin, counting from the start at Purple Mist Sect, had only cultivated for five or six years.

If Fang Lin did not have the two pieces of Demon Bone on him, did not have the seven Ancient Lamps of Flame God, and did not acquire the Martial Arts from the Holy Palace, then even within the Spirit Source Realm, Fang Lin would probably not be able to dominate those of the same realm.

However, no matter how vast the gap in realm, no matter how disproportionate the strength, Fang Lin still had to defeat Wang Linlang. If he couldn’t even beat him, how would he move on to the Seven Stars Tower to save Dugu Nian trapped below it?

What’s more, there were certainly stronger experts within the Taoist Sect than Wang Linlang, and not just a few within the entire three sects were stronger than him.

Especially that mysterious woman, whom Fang Lin most feared. If she were to appear, how would he handle it?

These were all troubles, and what Fang Lin needed to do at this moment was to defeat the Wang Linlang in front of him so that he couldn’t become an obstacle in his path.

The White Bone Dragon Spear had already broken; with the power of the True Dragon Demon Bone, Fang Lin re-condensed the White Bone Dragon Spear once again.

“The Ancient Lamp of Flame God still has power to offer me, but my physical body can no longer bear it. Now I must rely on the power of pills,” Fang Lin murmured to himself. He slapped the Nine Palace Bag and took out a brown pill.

Seeing Fang Lin take out a pill, Wang Linlang slightly narrowed his eyes. He knew Fang Lin was a Pill Refiner, and a very talented one at that, who had defeated Jade Qincheng from the Pill Pulsar of the Taoist Sect in the field of Alchemy Tao.

But Wang Linlang did not believe that Fang Lin could turn the tide just by taking a single pill, unless he ingested some unimaginable Grade 8 or Grade 9 pill that could instantly boost him to the Longevity Realm. Otherwise, Fang Lin’s defeat was certain.
