Chapter 6693 Blaspheme the Pill Sovereign

This chapter is updated by Novels.pl

Lord Long Chen, you cant! the young maiden shouted, afraid that Long Chen would kill the insolent woman.

You say she cheated? Long Chen snorted and flicked his hand, sending the woman tumbling across the ground.

As she rolled, a jade plate slipped from her robes and clattered onto the ground. A wave of startled cries rose at once.

A Soul Nourishing Jade Plate?! She brought a Soul Nourishing Jade Plate into the trial?!

The pill halls disciples were dumbfounded.

A Soul Nourishing Jade Plate was a supportive artifact used during alchemical refinement, capable of replenishing Spiritual Strength at critical moments. However, such items were strictly forbidden in this trial. Moreover, every participant had been inspected by a formation beforehand. In theory, it should have been impossible for such an object to appear here.

Across the plaza, many disciples froze on the spot. The examiners faces paled as they exchanged glances, momentarily at a loss.

Long Chen, youve disturbed the pill halls trial! an Elder shouted, pushing all the blame onto Long Chen. This is a serious offense! Capture him!

Over ten experts immediately rushed toward Long Chen.

Scram!

Long Chen shouted. A surge of qi erupted from his body like a storm front.

Those experts were sent flying away. They were only peak Sovereign Lords. Blood sprayed from their mouths as they crashed to the ground.

How dare you commit such despicable acts in front of the Pill Sovereigns statue! You guys really do have guts! Long Chen shouted, his voice dripping with killing intent.

At the front of the plaza stood a giant statuethe Pill Sovereign worshiped by the Starry River Pill Hall.

She held a flower in her left hand and a cauldron in her right. Though just a statue, it radiated gentle love to all living beings.

The flower was the Jewel Blood Jade Orchid, and the cauldron was the Heaven Earth Cauldron.

However, after countless years, the orchids color had faded, and the cauldrons form had decayed. The statue was mottled, cracked, and slowly crumbling.

At this sight, quiet grief welled up in Long Chens chest.

That grief quickly turned to fury.

These fools dared to cheat, abuse their authority, and defile her legacy under her very gaze?

Courting death!

You youre lying! a white-haired elder shouted, fear creeping into his voice.

Shut your mouth! Long Chen said coldly. Say one more word, and Ill kill you.

Long Chens expression was dark, and his killing intent was overwhelming.

The elder went rigid. A chill seized his soul, and he no longer dared to move.

Long Chen flew into the sky and hovered in front of the Pill Sovereigns statue. He stared at her weathered face and sensed the withered faith energy lingering within. His eyes reddened.

There was a formation beneath this statue. Had she been properly revered, the accumulated faith energy should have preserved the statue against the erosion of time.

Gazing at her statue, Long Chen suddenly thought of the first time he had seen her.

You are you, you are not you

That gentle voice echoed in his mind once more.

A thousand reincarnations, all to wake you up from the red dust

Yu Qingxuans final words before she died in the Martial Heaven Continent rang out in his mind.

Long Chen murmured, You are you, yet you are not you. Then who am I? I am me and I am not me?

Countless thoughts surged through Long Chen. Endless scenes flashed before his eyes, yet he couldnt grasp any of it.

Who are you?! Why have you disturbed the pill halls trial? An icy shout rang out, backed with powerful Sovereign might.

All the disciples trembled with terror.

When an elder wearing golden robes over his golden hair appeared, all the examiners bowed.

This person was the hall master, Yu Chen. A trial of this scale should never have drawn his attention, but Long Chens arrival and the exposure of cheating had forced someone to report the matter at once.

When Yu Chens Sovereign pressure locked onto Long Chen, his expression shifted in shock.

The lock was incomplete.

Yu Chen could sense Long Chens position, yet he could not truly grasp his body or soul. It was the first time Yu Chen had ever encountered such a phenomenon.

At this moment, Long Chen took a deep breath and pushed aside the chaotic thoughts running through his mind. He turned toward the hall master.

A Divine Sovereign who relied on medicinal pills to advance? Although you successfully completed creation through destruction, it was just thanks to a shortcut. Your law power is empty and weak.

At a glance, Long Chen had seen through Yu Chens foundation. This mans true combat power was likely inferior even to that half-finished acquired Divine Sovereign Long Chen had encountered before.

From Yu Chens furious gaze, it was also clear that he could not gauge Long Chens true power.

Long Chen sneered. Your pill halls trial has become this rotten. Hundreds of people participated, and only this young maiden didnt cheat. Everyone else is a cheater. Im not the one causing trouble here.

What are you talking about?! demanded Yu Chen.

Long Chen indifferently replied, You guys have the Starry River Heart Questioning Formation, right? You can question them one by one. If I am wrong, I will give you my head. If I am right, then everyone who cheated must kill themselves before the Pill Sovereigns statue as penance!

An uproar blew through the crowd, and the examiners hearts clenched.

Each of them had proteges they were shielding. As a result, they had tacitly ignored one anothers cheating.

By the rules, the most difficult test had been assigned through chance and had conveniently landed on the young maiden.

They had never imagined anyone would investigate, let alone care. This sort of manipulation was simply too common. Yet now, it had suddenly become a matter of life and death.

The disciples were shaking in fear. They were merely using their connections to advance in ranking. How did it become worthy of execution?

I will naturally investigate this matter myself. But who are you? How dare you stand in front of the Pill Sovereigns statue? That is a blasphemy toward the Pill Sovereign! shouted the hall master.

The instant Long Chen heard the word blasphemy, something inside him snapped.

With a flash, he viciously slapped the hall masters face.

BOOM!

Yu Chen was sent crashing into the ground, blasting a massive crater into the plaza. Stone and debris exploded outward in all directions.

Before Yu Chen could crawl out, Long Chen descended like a falling star and slammed his foot into Yu Chens chest.

The hole widened further, and Yu Chen spat out a mouthful of blood.

Everyone from the pill hall watched in horror, unable to believe their eyes.

I am the one blaspheming the Pill Sovereign?! Repeat it again if you dare!

Long Chen roared, flames practically bursting out of his eyes. His killing intent raged, like that of a savage tiger.
