Treasures of the Medicine Sovereign

Treasures of the Medicine Sovereign . . .

The unexpected appearance of the Sacred Emperor sent shockwaves rippling through the crowd. It became abundantly clear that the Sacred Emperor's position wasn't merely due to saintliness; it was underpinned by overwhelming strength.

Today, despite the Royal Sacred Sect and the Sacred Emperor attempting to assert their dominance, the people of this world no longer regarded the sect as the divine entity they once did.

The Medicine Sovereign, his gaze firmly locked on the celestial visage above, responded, "Very well, if you insist on using threats, I shall abstain from action. However, let me make this clear. If you personally move to execute Qin Wentian, I will ensure the total annihilation of every member of your Royal Sacred Sect."

The Medicine Sovereign's flowing beard danced in the wind, yet the weight of his words reverberated in the hearts of all those present.

Through their exchange, a profound enmity was forged between the Medicine Sovereign and the Sacred Emperor. The Medicine Sovereign vowed not to intervene if the Sacred Emperor refrained from doing so, but he made it unmistakably clear that any treacherous actions would lead to the obliteration of the entire Royal Sacred Sect.

Two supreme-level figures within the Royal Sacred Sect had now become bitter adversaries.

Furthermore, the onlookers couldn't help but speculate on the implications of the Medicine Sovereign's ascension to the immortal level. It was evident that the Royal Sacred Sect's standing would be shaken irrevocably.

As expected, the Medicine Sovereign continued, "Starting today, the Medical Sovereign Valley opens its doors to all in the Royal Sacred Region. I, the Medicine Sovereign, may not possess vast riches, but I have an abundance of heavenly herbs and earthly treasures. If your talent is exceptional, I can provide you with medicinal pills for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Beyond that, during my travels in foreign realms, I have amassed a considerable hoard of treasures. The wealth of the Medicine Sovereign Valley will undoubtedly rival that of the Royal Sacred Sect."

As news of this proclamation spread throughout the Royal Sacred Region, it was inevitable that the Royal Sacred Sect's status would be significantly impacted. The enigmatic Medicine Sovereign Valley, known for its neutrality, appeared to be compelled to change its stance by the Royal Sacred Sect's actions, as they too began recruiting disciples.

"Today, I shall unveil the full extent of my arsenal. You all wish to end Qin Wentian? Very well, demonstrate your true capabilities." With a grand sweep of his hand, experts from the Medicine Sovereign Valley brought forth an array of awe-inspiring combat-type divine weapons. These divine weapons took the form of humanoid and beast-like combat puppets, each exuding an aura of boundless might.

"Wondrous puppets, indeed." As they beheld these colossal puppets, the hearts of everyone present raced with excitement. The Medicine Sovereign, the eminent alchemist of the Royal Sacred Region, was renowned for his unparalleled talent in the realm of medicine. Now that his true cultivation level was laid bare, one couldn't help but wonder at his mastery of pill concoction.

Moreover, the concept of puppets was intrinsically linked to divine weaponry. They were creations that required a masterful craftsman. The fact that the Medicine Sovereign possessed such an arsenal of combat puppets raised questions. However, upon reflection, it became evident. Given the Medicine Sovereign's extraordinary pill concoction skills, his elixirs would surely be coveted by immortals, necessitating his self-defense. Combat puppets would undoubtedly augment his combat capabilities. The abundance of combat puppets in his possession might have been acquired through exchanges with his immortal-ranked medicinal pills.

A truly formidable puppet was an enhanced divine weapon, equipped with intricate divine inscription formations and crafted from top-tier materials. These puppets boasted formidable offense and defense, their only drawback being their slightly challenging control. In all other aspects, they were invulnerable.

The experts from the Medicine Sovereign Valley unveiled over thirty supremely potent combat puppets in a single gesture. With precision, they entered the puppets, ready to control them from within. The clinking of metal accompanied by radiant auras enveloped the combat puppets, sending a shiver through the hearts of the Royal Sacred Sect members. As these puppets tilted their heads, an aura of unparalleled sharpness surged skyward.

"What an imposing aura! These are peak-tier Celestial Phenomenon Puppets!" The spectators were astounded. It was clear that the Medicine Sovereign Valley had a mighty arsenal of formidable puppets at their disposal.

The Medicine Sovereign, now soaring into the heavens, stood his ground in direct opposition to the Sacred Emperor.

"Perish!" The Royal Sacred Sect experts, undaunted by the presence of the Sacred Emperor, launched their attack. Among them were numerous peak-level Ascendants, their combat prowess formidable. They reckoned that battling against combat puppets would be no obstacle.

Beside Qin Wentian, an incredibly powerful combat puppet materialized—a colossal golden dragon stretching three thousand meters in length, radiating a fearsome aura.

The colossal golden dragon stamped the ground, causing the Sacred Battle Platform to quiver. Resplendent runes emerged, followed by a surge of spatial energy. In an instant, the massive dragon vanished from sight, only to reappear directly above the Royal Sacred Sect experts.

The dragon's razor-sharp claws struck simultaneously, birthing a devastating spatial tempest that obliterated everything within a hundred-mile radius. The puppet's cataclysmic onslaught shredded numerous Royal Sacred Sect members, reducing them to fine particles carried away by the tumultuous storm.

In the face of the colossal golden dragon's onslaught, anyone lacking a peak-level Celestial Phenomenon cultivation base was as vulnerable as paper, easily torn asunder.

"How awe-inspiring!" The distant onlookers marveled at the golden dragon, dumbfounded by the spectacle before them. It was a testament to the saying that in the presence of absolute power, sheer numbers became inconsequential.

Despite the golden dragon's formidable attacks, its controller struggled to unleash its full agility. After each assault, a brilliant and tyrannical force slammed into the puppet, accompanied by a piercing, ear-shattering noise. Yet, only a minor dent appeared on the golden dragon, far from enough to destroy it. The puppet's astonishing defense was a testament to the exceptional durability of the materials used in its construction.

The Sacred Emperor wore a grim expression as he glanced at the Medicine Sovereign. He was no fool; he understood that these potent puppets hailed from the outside world, far beyond the capabilities of the Royal Sacred Region.

"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!"

The earth trembled as cracks fissured the Sacred Battle Platform. The formidable puppets ascended into the sky, unleashing devastating attacks. One humanoid puppet held a golden disc radiating overwhelming destructive energy, forming a torrential golden storm that obliterated everything in its path. Anything touched by the storm disintegrated into fragments.

Another puppet, resembling a roc, soared through the air with blinding speed, its wings aglow with golden light. Those unfortunate enough to be struck by its wings were cleaved in two, while even those outside the direct line of attack suffered lacerating injuries from the residual shockwaves.

Each puppet bore intricate divine inscription formations, etched with true-intents, granting them terrifying power.

Within moments of the battle's commencement, over a hundred Royal Sacred Sect experts had fallen in combat. The Sacred Battle Platform was bathed in the crimson hue of blood, testimony to the sacrifices made by the once-mighty Royal Sacred Region.

"This...!" Distant spectators could hardly believe their eyes as they witnessed the puppets' overwhelming dominance over the Royal Sacred Sect's experts.

As for Zai Xuan and Lu Ziyan, they had wisely employed escape-type treasures to flee the battlefield. Zai Xuan, his face pallid, watched in dismay as the battle unfolded before him.

"How in the realms is this possible? Even in the most far-flung reaches of the outside worlds, combat puppets of this caliber are as rare as a unicorn riding a rainbow! People would trade their granny's prized heirlooms for just a single one of these beauties, and even then, you'd have to sweeten the deal with a stash of sixth-ranked medical pills! But wait, could it be that the Medicine Sovereign has unlocked the secret to churning out immortal-ranked pills?" Zai Xuan's face was contorted with disbelief. He still bore the throbbing memory of the palm imprint decorating his cheek, courtesy of the Medicine Sovereign's earlier performance.

If the Medicine Sovereign were indeed capable of concocting immortal-ranked pills, not only would he be rubbing shoulders with immortals out in the wide cosmos, but he'd have them on speed dial for a casual chat. In such a scenario, the threat he posed would be more enormous than a cosmic black hole, even the Sacred Emperor might struggle to hold him back.

"To craft these puppets, one must not only be a master of forging but also possess an uncanny mastery of weaving various true intents together. Given the eclectic assortment of these puppets, they must've been fashioned by different grandmasters. Is it possible that the Medicine Sovereign had long harbored ambitions of toppling the status quo and crowning himself the supreme ruler of our realm?" Lu Ziyan pondered aloud, her eyes locked on Zai Xuan. Her thoughts swirled in a sea of intrigue.

Indeed, the allure of becoming the hegemon was an intoxicating proposition. However, if the Medicine Sovereign were the alchemical powerhouse Zai Xuan believed him to be, there'd be no need for him to dabble in the petty squabbles of hegemony. For alchemists capable of churning out immortal pills, the world was their oyster. Resources would flow like a waterfall, major powers would grovel at their feet, offering a cornucopia of the finest materials to nurture their talents, and their ascent in the realm of medicine would be unstoppable.

"KILL QIN WENTIAN!" Panic and chaos swirled among the Royal Sacred Sect's experts as a chilling command pierced the tumultuous air. A dazzling lance of light shot straight for Qin Wentian.

However, two steadfast guardians had been at his side from the start. The massive Xuanwu puppet shielded Qin Wentian beneath its impervious shell, while the ferocious devil ape puppet let loose a bone-shaking roar that shattered the very fabric of space, rending the approaching beam of light asunder. The devil ape retaliated with a powerful strike, its fist aimed squarely at the attacker.

"KILL!" The attacker's face contorted with determination. Astral radiance bathed the heavens as he harnessed the power of his constellation, transforming into a colossal celestial palm that plummeted earthward.

A cacophony of earth-shaking crashes reverberated through the skies. At this pivotal moment, the golden dragon emerged from the clouds, its massive claw lashing out towards the assailant. Simultaneously, the golden-winged roc swooped in, wings flailing. Realization dawned on the hapless attacker as he found himself trapped, assailed on three sides.

With gritted teeth, he spun the gigantic celestial palm in a desperate bid to fend off the onslaught. Yet, the relentless force of the puppets overwhelmed his defenses, obliterating his existence without mercy.

"BANG!"

Qing'er watched in awe as the body of the expert disintegrated, her eyes widening at the sight. Beside her, Qin Wentian stood with unwavering determination, his gaze fixed upon the tumultuous battle unfolding high above. The clash of mighty auras resonated through the air, and it was clear that those involved were far more formidable than even third-level Ascendants. Qin Wentian knew that if not for the protection provided by his puppet, he would stand no chance against the overwhelming might of these celestial beings.

As the battle raged on, Qing'er couldn't help but voice her astonishment, her words tinged with a mixture of wonder and disbelief. "The Medicine Sovereign possesses such an astonishing array of treasures?" Her gaze remained fixed on the celestial puppets that soared through the sky, each one radiating an aura of unparalleled power. It was evident that the Medicine Sovereign had meticulously prepared for this pivotal moment, amassing a formidable arsenal of guardians and allies.
