Chaos Heaven-Dominating Technique

The dazzling light that erupted from the Crystal Stone illuminated the entire secret chamber. Everyone was instantly swallowed by the radiance. The intense light made it impossible for them to open their eyes, and they could only raise their arms to shield their faces.

At that moment, a storm raged in the hearts of everyone in the secret chamber. The Crystal Stone had lit up, which meant Shen Haoran had passed the examination for a Seventh Grade Alchemist. He was actually a Seventh Grade Alchemist!

’How is this possible!’ Beneath the dazzling light, Yin Xueyu’s body slowly collapsed to the ground. The Seventh Grade Alchemist, a level that seemed impossibly distant to him, had actually been achieved by Shen Haoran. ’To think I’ve been picking a fight with a Seventh Grade Alchemy Master all this time.’ At this thought, a chill shot up from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head, and cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes.

Nearby, Yin Chuan and Elder Xue also looked deathly pale. As the Crystal Stone lit up, they seemed to age decades in an instant, the very light in their eyes dimming. Crushed by Shen Haoran’s success, they even began to doubt if they were qualified Alchemists.

In contrast to the others, Feng Li’s face was flushed with excitement, and he seemed to have grown a decade younger. Shen Haoran was representing Burning Flame City in the battle for Pill Emperor. Even he hadn’t expected Shen Haoran to be a Seventh Grade Alchemist. Aside from the four seeded contestants, Shen Haoran was the first person to reach the level of Seventh Grade Alchemist in this competition. This time, in the battle for Pill Emperor, Burning Flame City would definitely secure a good ranking and avenge their past disgrace.

Everyone in the secret chamber was lost in their own thoughts. A moment later, the blinding light from the Crystal Stone gradually faded, and everyone’s vision returned. Shen Haoran now stood on the stone platform, his robes fluttering though there was no wind. A transcendent aura emanated from him, making him look like a deity.

’Is this the realm of a Seventh Grade Alchemist?’ Shen Haoran clenched his fists. He could now clearly perceive everything around him, including the sound of his own breathing and even the groans of every cell in his body. It was a sensation he had never experienced before, and it thrilled him.

’It seems my Spiritual Thought has undergone a transformation!’ Shen Haoran immersed his Heart Spirit in his Sea of Consciousness. The ocean of Spiritual Thought within it was still churning endlessly. However, compared to before, there was now a trace of Spiritual Qi mixed within it. This kind of Spiritual Thought was much easier to control, and his perception was countless times stronger than before his breakthrough. ’It’s just as Elder Yan said, a Seventh Grade Alchemist and a Sixth Grade Alchemist are on completely different levels.’

A moment later, Shen Haoran withdrew his Heart Spirit from his Sea of Consciousness and his gaze slowly swept over everyone present. Anyone his eyes fell upon couldn’t help but tremble inwardly. A Seventh Grade Alchemist was a Grandmaster Level figure in their minds. The Energy they possessed was completely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Fortunately, Shen Haoran’s gaze merely swept past them before finally landing on Ji Wuqing. Only then did everyone notice that Ji Wuqing, who had been so full of vigor just moments ago, was now lying pale on the floor. A trickle of blood hung from the corner of her mouth, and she looked utterly weak.

Ji Wuqing glared at Shen Haoran with a venomous expression, wishing she could tear him limb from limb. Just a moment ago, when Shen Haoran had devoured her spear made of Spiritual Qi, she had suffered a backlash. Her Sea of Consciousness had fallen into turmoil. Luckily, she had managed to stabilize it in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unthinkable!

"Hmph. I really have to thank Vice Hall Master Ji for her ’gift’ just now. Otherwise, I might not have been able to break through to become a Seventh Grade Alchemist!" Shen Haoran snorted coldly at the weakened Ji Wuqing. Although he had already touched the threshold of a Seventh Grade Alchemist, he still needed more accumulation to break through. However, Ji Wuqing’s attack, formed from pure Spiritual Qi, had been a great help to him. It had directly shattered that final barrier, allowing him to successfully advance to Seventh Grade Alchemist.

"What do you mean?" Hearing this, Ji Wuqing’s expression changed. She stared at Shen Haoran in disbelief before it dawned on her. ’Shen Haoran’s aura just now... although it had condensed Spiritual Qi, it clearly hadn’t reached the level of a Seventh Grade Alchemist. But I was too hasty and overlooked that detail. That means... I personally helped him break through to Seventh Grade Alchemist!’ At this realization, Ji Wuqing’s heart sank. She couldn’t catch her breath and spat out another mouthful of blood.

Seeing Ji Wuqing spit blood and about to faint, Shen Haoran’s figure flashed. In an instant, he was by her side. He reached out his right hand and pressed it directly against the pulse point on her arm, sending a powerful surge of Spiritual Power into her body.

"Don’t be in such a hurry to die. We still have a score to settle!" Shen Haoran forcibly stabilized Ji Wuqing’s consciousness, preventing her from fainting. ’Even though I used her Spiritual Qi to break through to Seventh Grade Alchemist, if Elder Yan hadn’t warned me in advance, her attack might have hit me. At best, my strength would have been greatly reduced; at worst, I would have been killed outright. I have to settle this score, no matter what.’

"Brat, you’re courting death! How dare you lay a hand on the Vice Hall Master of the Medicine Hall!" Seeing Shen Haoran restrain Ji Wuqing by her vital point, Elder Xue stepped forward and roared angrily.

Ji Wuqing’s strength was at least at the Spirit Emperor Level, but due to the backlash and the turmoil in her Sea of Consciousness, she had no strength to fight back. Shen Haoran merely glanced at Elder Xue and said coolly, "Vice Hall Master? My current status is also that of a Seventh Grade Alchemist. In terms of standing, I’m not necessarily beneath her. Don’t try to use your status to pressure me!"

Hearing Shen Haoran’s words, Elder Xue was at a loss for words. Shen Haoran was right. In the Medicine Hall, a Seventh Grade Alchemist could indeed stand on equal footing with a Vice Hall Master.

"Vice Hall Master Ji, I don’t intend to take your life. In my eyes, your life isn’t worth much. That attack you used on me earlier should be a special Martial Skill, right? Hand over that Martial Skill, and we’ll call it even. How about it?" Shen Haoran said calmly, looking at Ji Wuqing. Of course, he wouldn’t kill her outright. After all, this was the Medicine Hall, and she was its Vice Hall Master. If he killed Ji Wuqing, he probably wouldn’t live much longer himself. What Shen Haoran was after was the Martial Skill Ji Wuqing had used to attack him.

"In your dreams!" Ji Wuqing refused without a second thought. ’For a dignified Vice Hall Master of the Medicine Hall like me to be threatened by a junior... if word of this got out, where would I put my face?’

"Don’t be so quick to refuse. I suggest you think it over carefully. You just tried to murder a Seventh Grade Alchemist. Even if you are the Vice Hall Master of the Medicine Hall, that crime is enough to drag you down. It might even cause a public outcry. Is trading a Martial Skill for your life worth it? The choice is yours," Shen Haoran said calmly, as if he had already expected her refusal.

Hearing Shen Haoran’s words, Ji Wuqing trembled slightly. It was true. Shen Haoran’s status was now that of a Seventh Grade Alchemist; he was no longer the same as before.

"You... You’re despicable!" Ji Wuqing said coldly.

"Despicable? Vice Hall Master Ji, if you hadn’t launched a sneak attack on me, you wouldn’t be in this predicament. Not killing you is already my bottom line!" Shen Haoran snorted. Ji Wuqing had brought this upon herself. If he weren’t in the Medicine Hall, Shen Haoran would have definitely killed her. Sparing her life was already an act of mercy...
