The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1428 - Chapter 1428 Chapter 1526 Devoid of Humanity

Chapter 1428: Chapter 1526: Devoid of Humanity Chapter 1428: Chapter 1526: Devoid of Humanity The island presented a scene of Asura Hell, where both ordinary people and wild beasts were mercilessly slaughtered, leaving not a single intact corpse behind, only severed limbs and broken arms.

The dark-faced elder was indifferent to the carnage around him, not feeling he had done anything wrong against the heavens or humanity. On the contrary, he believed that it was an honor for these powerless mortals and beasts to die at his hands.

“Hmph! You really think you can hide on this island for a lifetime?” The dark-faced elder snorted coldly, his figure descending directly onto the island.

However, the dark-faced elder was also highly vigilant. He had long known about the losses that Supreme Palace and True Martial Hall had suffered at Fang Lin’s hands; therefore, even though he had driven Fang Lin onto this island, the dark-faced elder remained wary that Fang Lin might be plotting against him.

After wandering around the island for a while, the dark-faced elder even found some heavenly materials and earthly treasures but failed to find any trace of Fang Lin.

At this point, the dark-faced elder grew unsettled. Could it be that Fang Lin was not on the island at all? That he had already left?

“No, that’s impossible. That kid must be on this island,” the dark-faced elder muttered in his heart, filled with doubt as he continued to roam the island.

Meanwhile, Fang Lin inside the Supreme Saint Hall had already recovered from his injuries and was preparing to leave the Supreme Saint Hall and continue his journey to the Seven Stars Tower.

As he stepped out of the Supreme Saint Hall, the scene that met his eyes made him pause in shock.

The ground was littered with the fragmented corpses of wild beasts, which seemed as if they had been slain by Sword Qi, their manner of death extremely tragic.

Not only that, but Fang Lin also caught a strong scent of blood; the entire island reeked with it.

Fang Lin’s gaze grew solemn, not knowing what had happened on the island. He immediately flew up and saw a scene that made his heart clench.

There was nothing but blood and corpses on the island; not a single living creature remained, including both the young children who had yet to reach adulthood and the elderly who were advanced in years, all ruthlessly killed.

“Fang Lin! You really did show up!” A loud shout came from afar, and Fang Lin saw the dark-faced elder with whom he had previously fought speeding towards him, his dark face like the bottom of a pot filled with a cold sneer.

Fang Lin did not turn to flee but instead frowned deeply as he stared at the man, waiting until he was close before speaking, “Did you kill the people on this island?”

Because Fang Lin had clashed with the dark-faced elder, he knew that the elder was skilled with a sword, and since the mortals and wild beasts on the island had also been killed by Sword Qi, Fang Lin’s first suspicion was that this man was responsible.

However, on second thought, the dark-faced elder was from the Taoist Sect, and he shouldn’t stoop to slaughtering ordinary people.

Yet, to Fang Lin’s surprise, the dark-faced elder said, “It was indeed I who killed them. To force you out, using some extraordinary means was unavoidable.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin felt a surge of anger rising within him.

“You actually slaughtered tens of thousands of people on the island?” Fang Lin asked through gritted teeth.

The dark-faced elder was expressionless: “Dead is dead, merely a bunch of worthless ants. We have as many of these ants in the Seven Seas as we want.”

Fang Lin laughed in fury, “As someone of the Taoist Sect, you’ve done such a heinous act. Aren’t you afraid of being punished by the Taoist Sect?”

“Why would the Taoist Sect punish me? I am after all attempting to kill you. After I kill you, not only will the Taoist Sect not chide me, but they will also praise me all the more,” the dark-faced elder said, his words infuriating Fang Lin even more, making him want to burst out cursing.

“Heh, so this is what you call the Taoist Sect? Merely people who have gained a realm and power, and now you truly view yourselves as gods high above?” Fang Lin said angrily.

“You’re merely a person from the Nine Countries, yet you pity these mortals? How laughable,” the dark-faced elder laughed.

“People like you were nothing but the ants you speak of before you gained Cultivation, and now that you have it, you treat mortals as ants to be slaughtered at will. You deserve to die!” Fang Lin spoke, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

“Ants are ants; I see no difference,” said the dark-faced elder. As he finished speaking, the Longsword on his back was immediately unsheathed and held in his hand.

Fang Lin slapped the Nine Palace Bag, summoning the Demon Puppet, which wielded the Demon Sword and launched an attack on the dark-faced elder.

Meanwhile, Fang Lin retreated to a distance, calling forth the seven Ancient Lamps of Flame God.

This time, Fang Lin did not fuse the Ancient Lamps of Flame God into his body to boost his strength, but instead, he sought to utilize the firepower of the lamps to deliver a fatal blow to the dark-faced elder.

Although the Demon Puppet was formidable, it was evenly matched with the dark-faced elder, and it was difficult to determine a winner. To defeat the elder, Fang Lin needed to use some extraordinary methods.

The most powerful treasure Fang Lin currently possessed was undoubtedly the seven Ancient Lamps of Flame God.

Fang Lin lightly touched each of the seven Ancient Lamps of Flame God, and suddenly, from the depths below the island, surging Fire Power roared forth, converging within the lamps.

Seeing this, Fang Lin could confirm that there was indeed a sea-bottom volcano beneath the island, containing an immensely powerful Fire Power.

If this Fire Power were to be entirely absorbed by the Ancient Lamps of Flame God, they could unleash an earth-shattering strike.

Even the Great Longevity ones could potentially fall dead from such a strike.

After all, the Ancient Lamps of Flame God were the treasures of the Ancient Flame Emperor, and all of his abilities resided within these lamps. If not for Fang Lin’s insufficient Cultivation, he wouldn’t be able to unleash the lamps’ true power.

If the Great Sage Equal to Heaven were to wield these seven lamps, then no one under the heavens could stand as his rival.

“Since this old geezer has killed everyone on the island, let’s use the power of this island to kill him, as vengeance for you all,” Fang Lin said silently looking at the corpses on the island.

Regarding the unjust deaths of those on the island, Fang Lin did feel some guilt. After all, if it weren’t for his arrival on the island, these mortals wouldn’t have faced such disaster.

This incident also made Fang Lin feel an even stronger disgust toward so-called Taoist Sects. In the Nine Countries, even if conflicts arose between nations, they rarely affected innocent mortals.

This dark-faced elder, though a master of the Taoist Sect, was so cruel to the commoners within the sect’s domain, opting for slaughter straightaway. How was he any different from those inhumane Poison Pill Masters?

Never had Fang Lin felt such intense killing intent toward a person of the Taoist Sect. Not when he met Wang Linlang, not when he encountered the Seven Heroes of True Martial nor Cangyunzi; none had made Fang Lin as angry as he was now with this dark-faced elder, desiring to tear him limb from limb.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

At the center of the island, the ground collapsed suddenly, and a torrent of scorching magma erupted skyward, with the vast and mighty Fire Power pouring into the Ancient Lamps of Flame God.
