The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1448 - Chapter 1448 Chapter 1546 Sky Swallowing Palace

Chapter 1448: Chapter 1546: Sky Swallowing Palace Chapter 1448: Chapter 1546: Sky Swallowing Palace In the deepest part of the Extreme North Land, peaks loomed high with snow, chilling to the bone.

This was the largest forbidden area of the Nine Countries, and even among the mightiest warriors with unrivaled cultivation, there were but a few who dared to set foot in this realm.

Among the mountains there, stood a majestic peak towering above all others, standing out as a crane among chickens.

This mountain was pitch-black and seemed to hold up the heavens like a massive pillar supporting the earth.

Atop this peak, there lay a grand and imposing hall, seemingly illusory, as if it didn’t truly exist.

It was difficult to imagine that within this forbidden area of the Nine Countries, such a mysterious hall existed. If the various powers of the Nine Countries were to discover it, it would surely cause a great upheaval.

At the high point of the hall, a somewhat frail figure stood quietly.

This person had long, bright red hair like blood, stretching to the ground, and was cloaked in a black robe, creating a stark contrast between the blood-red hair and black cloth.

On the face of this individual was a Kylin mask, and the only part visible, the eyes, flickered with a bewitching scarlet hue.

Above in the sky, muted thunder rumbled. With the flash of lightning, one could see that the red-haired person wearing the Kylin mask appeared to be a woman, standing barefoot with exquisite feet as delicate as jade, outside the icy hall.

Behind her, several mysterious figures stood in silence, each wearing a different mask, without making a sound.

“Hall Master, Tiger-Head Mask, Gray Wolf, and White Crane set off three days ago.” A somewhat youthful voice reported to the red-haired woman.

“Mm.” The red-haired woman replied indifferently, seemingly not too concerned with what the person behind her had reported.

After a long while, snowflakes began to drift from the sky above.

The red-haired woman extended a hand, allowing the somewhat cold snowflakes to fall into her palm.

Snowflakes melt upon touch with warmth, yet in the palm of this red-haired woman, they did not dissolve. It seemed that her hand was as cold as the snowflakes, devoid of any warmth.

The red-haired woman removed the Kylin mask, revealing a pale but extraordinarily beautiful face that could make any woman feel inferior.

The red-haired woman gazed at the falling snowflakes and smiled lightly. With her smile, the snowflakes in the entire sky abruptly ceased.

“Soon, when he returns, everything will come to an end.” The red-haired woman murmured softly to herself, her scarlet eyes brimming with anticipation.

Suddenly, the wind and snow intensified, obscuring the red-haired woman and the silhouettes behind her, and even the entire mountain and hall were enveloped in the blizzard.

…

“By the order of the Sky Swallowing Hall Master, we have come to demand ten thousand Pills from the Western Moon King!” A calm yet commanding voice rang out, startling everyone present and leaving them momentarily dumbfounded.

Who was this person, speaking such insolent words? Had they gone mad?

Three figures stood above the sky, and as the people below looked up, a murmur of surprise rippled through the crowd.

“Masked figures! It’s actually them!”

“These guys have actually shown themselves. What are they planning?”

“What did they just say? Sky Swallowing Hall Master? What kind of background is that?”

“Not sure, never heard of this Sky Swallowing Hall Master before.”

“Be careful, I fear these newcomers bear ill intentions.”

…

These three figures, each wearing a different mask, stood before them. One bore a Tiger-Head Mask, with a weapon wrapped in grey cloth slung over his back.

Another wore a Wolf Head Mask, holding an ancient sword, his long hair fluttering in the wind.

The person in the middle, however, was donning a White Crane mask, dressed in a golden robe, his hair slightly grey, suggesting advanced age.

These three, the Man with the Tiger-Head Mask and the one with the Wolf Head Mask, both came armed; only the person with the White Crane mask was empty-handed, yet he stood between the other two as if he were the leader.

“Who are you? How dare you play tricks at the Grand Pills Conference?” A martial artist from the Pill Alliance shouted angrily and immediately soared into the sky to confront the three masked people.

The Man with the Tiger-Head Mask stepped forward and kicked the flying Pill Alliance expert back down, causing the man to spit blood.

“Audacious!”

This act further enraged the members of the Pill Alliance. Causing a disturbance was one thing, but to actually injure one of their own was tantamount to an open challenge against the Pill Alliance.

In an instant, over a dozen figures leapt into the sky, surrounding the three masked individuals. However, they refrained from attacking immediately; everyone had witnessed the swift kick that made a Spirit Source realm Pill Alliance expert cough up blood. Such strength was not to be taken lightly.

“Who are you?” the Western Moon King demanded, staring intently at the three masked figures.

The man with the White Crane mask glanced at the Western Moon King and said, “We are under orders from the Sky Swallowing Palace’s Hall Master, here to request ten thousand Pills from the Heaven King. I wonder if the Heaven King would be generous enough to let us take those ten thousand Pills from this building.”

“How ludicrous, ‘Sky Swallowing Palace’s Hall Master’? I’ve never heard of such a person. A bunch of rats showing their tails, daring to strut about in the open?” the Western Moon King said with fury in his voice, not bothering to waste words on the three masked intruders and reacting on the spot.

Boom!

With a single palm strike, the deep Cultivation of the Western Moon King was fully exhibited, unmatched by others of his realm.

It was clear the Western Moon King put his full power into this strike, intending to subdue and capture the three masked individuals and then extract their secrets.

The Three Emperors, Long Jiankong, and other formidable forces made no move, seemingly interested to see what these masked individuals were really made of.

Facing this mighty palm strike from the Western Moon King, both the Man with the Tiger-Head Mask and the one with the Wolf Head Mask stepped back. In contrast, the person with the White Crane mask launched his palm forward.

With a loud thud, their palms collided, and power surged from within them, clashing intensely.

Everyone present felt the powerful aura emanating from the point of their confrontation, causing many to change expressions in awe of the Western Moon King’s might.

Yet at the same time, people were equally surprised that the man with the White Crane mask could withstand the Western Moon King’s full-powered strike, and he seemed to do it without much effort, which was quite remarkable.

“Heaven King, why resort to violence at the slightest disagreement? After all, as a significant figure, you should show some magnanimity,” the man with the White Crane mask said with a light laugh, his tone teasing.

The Western Moon King snorted coldly, but his brows furrowed involuntarily.

With that palm strike, although the Western Moon King had put forward his best effort and had been partly probing, he hadn’t expected his opponent to be so strong. He wasn’t sure he could take him down.

After the exchange, the Western Moon King retreated, his eyes fixed on the three masked individuals.

“Such strong cultivation, and the power in your palm even contains Sword Intent. Who in the world are you?” The Western Moon King stared into the eyes behind the White Crane mask, as if trying to discern something more.
