Chapter 1304: Hunter of Elixirs

In the directionless Chaotic Void, this strange place can cause even Law Domain experts to lose their way in the chaotic mist and ultimately perish in the chaotic storms, unless they have fixed spatial coordinates to guide them.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Chaotic Void, a landmass floated, resembling a continent.

Its terrain was rugged, with steep, blade-like peaks rising continuously. Occasionally, chaotic gales howled past. These gales had no destructive power against the hard, cold rocks, but anything with life that fell into them would have its life force instantly drained.

In a deep ravine on this continent.

Su Youwei leaned against a cold stone wall. Her usually serene and gentle face was now icy cold, and a fierce, chilling resolve gathered in her beautiful eyes.

Beside her, a long sword shimmering with black and white light lay quietly stuck in the ground, faint traces of blood visible on its surface.

Indeed, over the past few days, Su Youwei had been ambushed.

She had been ambushed by five Pseudo Law Domain experts. Their attack was incredibly vicious and decisive, and in that instant surge, Su Youwei felt the very breath of death.

Fortunately, Su Youwei had not relaxed her guard in the slightest while traversing the Chaotic Void. So, at that critical moment, she avoided the brutal stranglehold and instead seized the opportunity to counterattack instantly.

With one sword stroke, she severely wounded a Pseudo Law Domain expert.

But that was all she could manage. Her opponents were extremely experienced and immediately surrounded her again, forcing Su Youwei to seize the chance to temporarily escape.

However, the opponents clearly had no intention of giving up. In the following days, the two sides constantly pursued and evaded each other, occasionally engaging in skirmishes that were all incredibly ruthless and merciless.

"Are they 'Pill Hunters'?"

Su Youwei murmured, with murderous intent flowing in her beautiful eyes.

In All-Heavens City, the appearance of Ancestral Dragon Pills had given hope to many Genesis Infant and Law Domain experts who had made no progress for years. However, Ancestral Dragon Pills were, after all, rare and extremely difficult to acquire. This naturally gave rise to dark figures who operated in the shadows, coveting those who possessed Ancestral Dragon Pills and their materials.

These individuals were the notorious "Pill Hunters" of All-Heavens City.

All-Heavens City gathered most of the Genesis Infant and Law Domain experts from all heavens, which naturally led to a mix of good and bad individuals. Their backgrounds were so complex that even ordinary Saints found it difficult to clarify. Previously, Saints in All-Heavens City had wanted to conduct strict investigations, but it ultimately came to nothing, showing just how deep the waters ran.

The Pill Hunters had become a major headache for many in All-Heavens City.

These individuals usually hid within All-Heavens City; no one knew their true identities. Perhaps even seemingly benevolent people in daily life would, when darkness fell, put on masks, conceal their aura, and become greedy beings who lived only for Ancestral Dragon Pills.

"How could the Pill Hunters target me? Could my small amount of exchange credit really alarm five Pseudo Law Domain Pill Hunters?" Su Youwei's slender brows furrowed slightly. Although her reputation had grown significantly in the past two years, she was still only at the Genesis Infant stage. All-Heavens City currently contained countless Genesis Infant and Law Domain experts, and in terms of seniority and ranking, she, along with Wu Yao and Zhao Mu Shen, were clearly still somewhat lacking.

And deploying five top Pseudo Law Domain experts to deal with her truly seemed like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Su Youwei's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she eventually had a faint suspicion: "Could it be because of His Highness?"

Just as her thoughts shifted, a huge sense of crisis surged into her heart. Su Youwei immediately grabbed the long sword shimmering with black and white light, and her figure trembled, then vanished from her spot.

The instant her figure vanished, an boundless surge of Genesis Qi roared in like an enraged dragon. The ravine's cliff face instantly collapsed, and huge boulders tumbled down like rain.

Su Youwei's figure appeared in mid-air, her pretty face icy as she looked at the surrounding steep icy mountain peaks. There, she saw five figures blocking all spatial directions.

The five figures were all clad in black robes, and the most striking feature was what they wore on their heads: a blood-red sphere resembling a pill. On the smooth, blood-red sphere were two dark, hollow holes, from which greedy, ruthless gazes peered out.

This appearance of a sphere on their heads gave a very comical impression, but any All-Heavens expert who encountered these people would likely find nothing to laugh about.

"I don't have an Ancestral Dragon Pill on me," Su Youwei asked, her voice slightly cold. "I'd like to know why the Pill Hunters are targeting me."

"Whether you have an Ancestral Dragon Pill or not, we will find out by searching your corpse," one of the five figures said indifferently, their voice dry and devoid of emotion, a deliberate concealment of their true voice.

"Kill!"

The five Pill Hunters did not utter another word of nonsense. As murderous intent surged, they simultaneously attacked, and boundless Genesis Qi, like Mount Tai descending, enveloped Su Youwei.

Although Su Youwei was only at the Genesis Infant stage, the five knew her strength was extraordinary. They had no intention of fighting individually and instead planned to combine their strength to end the battle with lightning speed.

Boom!

Storm-like Genesis Qi swept in from all directions, blocking all escape routes.

Su Youwei took a deep breath, black and white light circulating in her eyes. She held her long sword, standing in the void with its tip slightly lowered.

The next moment, just as the boundless Genesis Qi roared closer, a mysterious black and white light seemed to spread from the void above. Looking down from a height, it resembled a gigantic Yin-Yang disc.

Su Youwei stood in the center of the Yin-Yang disc, while the five Pill Hunters were all in different positions.

"Yin-Yang Divine Wheel,

Great Teleportation!"

Su Youwei's sword tip trembled, and the next instant, her figure vanished into thin air. But the moment she disappeared, one of the Pill Hunters actually appeared in her original spot.

From the holes of the blood-pill mask, horror emerged.

"Stop!"

However, just as his panicked cry fell, the five boundless and majestic Genesis Qi attacks directly slammed down.

*Thud!*

Although one of the five Genesis Qi attacks belonged to himself and he could control it, the other four struck him squarely, leaving him no time to dodge. The Pseudo Law Domain expert instantly spurted blood and was sent flying backward.

And just as his figure shot out, the void behind him twisted, and Su Youwei's figure flashed out. On her long sword, Yin and Yang energies flowed; with a sweep of her sword light, a head still enveloped by the blood-pill mask directly shot up into the sky.

As the Yin and Yang energies corroded, they also directly extinguished the spirit within.

In just a few breaths, one Pseudo Law Domain expert had been slain.

The other four Pill Hunters' expressions changed dramatically. However, they were all ruthless individuals and did not overly concern themselves with their unfortunate companion. Instead, they took advantage of Su Youwei's momentary pause after killing him, and four awe-inspiring Genesis Arts roared forth.

This time, Su Youwei could no longer dodge.

Yin and Yang Genesis Qi surged from her body; as it surged, it caused the void to tremble violently. Immediately, her long sword slashed out, and four streaks of Yin-Yang sword light tore through the air. Around the sword light, countless starlight seemed to accompany it, making it dazzling and dangerous.

Bang! Bang!

Both sides' full-power attacks directly collided.

The four streaks of sword light directly shattered the Genesis Art attacks of three Pseudo Law Domain experts, but when facing the last one, they finally fell short, completely shattering.

A fierce and ruthless streak of Genesis Qi light took advantage of the opening and slammed into Su Youwei's delicate body.

*Pfft.*

Su Youwei spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her delicate body plummeted, causing an entire mountaintop to collapse.

She staggered and forced herself to stand up, her jade-like hand tightly gripping her long sword, as icy, stern resolve surged in her beautiful eyes.

Four streaks of light appeared in the void around her.

"As expected of Yin-Yang Master Su Youwei..." one of the Pill Hunters said gloomily, with deep apprehension in his words. "With Genesis Infant stage strength, she could actually kill one of us while being encircled by five."

"If you were a Pseudo Law Domain expert today, I'm afraid all five of us would have fallen here."

Su Youwei said faintly, "A bunch of despicable vermin. Everyone in All-Heavens City is preparing to face the Saint Race, yet you Pill Hunters are still fighting among yourselves."

"Naturally, a prodigy with limitless potential like you wouldn't understand our pain and despair," one of them retorted. "We have cultivated bitterly for years, our potential exhausted, making no further progress. We can only watch helplessly as you younger prodigies surpass us..."

"Do you think we are content with this? Who wouldn't want to reach the Law Domain stage, or even the Saint stage?"

"Ancestral Dragon Pills are rare; we can only obtain them this way. And when it comes to fighting the Saint Race, are we truly lacking?!"

Hearing this, the four Pill Hunters immediately became more agitated in their speech.

Su Youwei's lips curled in disdain, and she said, "It's nothing but an excuse for your own actions."

The four Pill Hunters fell silent for a moment, then their emotions calmed, and they said indifferently, "No matter how much you say, it won't change the fact that you will die here today."

Su Youwei tightly gripped her long sword with her jade-like hand, standing proudly. "Even if I perish here, I will drag a few of you down with me."

A resolute expression appeared in her beautiful eyes; since she couldn't escape, she would take as many as she could with her.

However, just as she was thinking this, her expression suddenly shifted, and a hint of astonishment appeared on her exquisitely beautiful face, as she actually lost herself in thought for a moment.

The four Pill Hunters seized even this momentary lapse in her concentration. The next moment, all four simultaneously launched their attacks, and four terrifying blades and sword gleams directly shattered the void, striking down like divine light.

"Su Youwei, die here!"

The blades and sword gleams struck down, and just as they were about to hit Su Youwei, the void in front of her twisted. A figure stepped out from it, and with a wave of his sleeve, an indescribable spiritual power swept forth.

Under that level of spiritual power, the blades and sword gleams unleashed by the four Pseudo Law Domain experts with all their might silently and completely dissolved.

The four Pill Hunters' expressions changed dramatically, and they cried out in horror, "That's... a Soul Clone? Roaming Soul Stage?!"

And when they clearly saw the face of the Soul Clone, they exclaimed in disbelief, "Zhou Yuan?!"

The one who stepped out of the void was, naturally, Zhou Yuan's Soul Clone. He looked at the four Pill Hunters, and a ferocious expression appeared on his face.

"It truly took me a lot of effort to find you bastards."

"Just now, who did you want to die here?"

Feeling the surging, terrifying spiritual power, the four Pseudo Law Domain Pill Hunters fell silent for a moment. The next moment, without hesitation, they transformed into four streaks of light and fled in four different directions, tearing through the air.
