Within the Five Elements Heavenly Palace!
"Everyone is making their move!"
Seeing the scene on the luminous barrier, Jiang Xiaofan grew impatient, exclaiming, "Big Brother, we should hurry out there and join the fight for it!"
"Go out? Why would we do that?"
Ling Feng raised an eyebrow with a smile, snapping his fingers. In the luminous barrier, everyone watched in shock as the shattered alchemy furnace, now surrounded by a multicolored glow, disappeared from view.
Jiang Xiaofan pointed at the screen, stunned. "Big Brother... am I seeing this right? Who took the alchemy furnace?"
"Have a look at this!"
Ling Feng grinned, and with a flicker of multicolored light, the very furnace that had vanished appeared in front of them, floating within the Five Elements Heavenly Palace.
"What is going on here?"
Everyone stared, wide-eyed, speechless at the sight.
"Every true alchemist knows how to retrieve their own pills," Ling Feng said proudly. "When I began the pill condensation, I imprinted a retrieval mark onto the alchemy furnace. Once I formed the necessary handprint, it would instantly transfer the furnace right here."
"Luckily, the tribulation lightning didn't destroy that mark; otherwise, things might have gotten a bit complicated," Ling Feng added with a casual smile, rubbing his nose.
Of course, this had only been possible because of his complete control over the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, which allowed him to access its spatial powers in an instant to retrieve the furnace before anyone outside could react.
"You can actually do that?"
The group inside the palace almost popped their eyes out in shock. Everyone outside was fighting over scraps, unaware that the real Supreme God Pill had been with Ling Feng all along.
"Hehe, let's stay hidden here in the palace for now," Ling Feng suggested, raising an eyebrow as he examined the fractured furnace. He was curious to see just what kind of pill this Supreme God Pill truly was.
Brushing aside the debris inside, he uncovered an intense fragrance that filled the air, along with a dazzling glow that made everyone's eyes sparkle.
Ling Feng's eyes widened with each pill he counted, astonished to find that there were a total of ten perfect medicinal pills nestled within the furnace!
"Fatty Huang, where is it?"
Feng Yan grabbed Huang's shoulder, shouting.
"It's... it's all wrong!" Huang stared at the compass in his hands, sweating profusely. "That spiritual energy hasn't moved from its spot; none of these light clusters are the real Supreme God Pill. It must still be back at the origin!"
Feng Yan shook Huang off and, without a moment's hesitation, dashed toward the massive crater at the ruins of the Tiandan Pavilion.
"Feng Young Master does have a caring side after all," Huang thought happily, landing on a broken piece of rubble nearby and clutching his compass. "Following Feng really is the best choice!"
But as he checked the compass again, his eyes nearly popped out of his head.
"How is this possible? Where did it go?"
"The Supreme God Pill... it's gone!"
The compass's needle, once firmly indicating a strong energy source, now showed nothing; the presence had entirely vanished.
As Feng Yan shot toward the crater's depths, Murong Wu didn't hesitate, following immediately.
Being a warrior from the same Tiansheng Empire, he knew well that while Fatty Huang wasn't strong, his dragon-seeking technique was indeed exceptional.
If Feng Yan had acted based on Huang's insight, then the Supreme God Pill was likely still within the alchemy furnace, not having escaped immediately.
Yan Jinghong's eyes narrowed as he raced toward the ruins of the Tiandan Pavilion at lightning speed.
More and more warriors abandoned their pursuit of the glowing fragments and rushed toward the ruins of the Tiandan Pavilion, some even clashing along the way.
Yet when the first batch of geniuses reached the bottom of the deep pit at the ruins, they found themselves completely dumbfounded.
Aside from scattered fragments, there wasn't a trace of the Supreme God Pill—not even any pill residue.
Murong Wu swung his spear in frustration, then shot back up to search among the myriad of glowing fragments in the air. He was desperate to avoid conflict with Feng Yan and the others, knowing that a full-on fight would only let someone else get lucky and claim the pill.
"Hmph! I actually believed you!"
Yan Jinghong glared coldly at Feng Yan before launching himself into the air, joining in the search around the area, hoping to find the Supreme God Pill within one of those scattered, glowing fragments.
Others quickly followed suit, spreading out to continue their search for the elusive pill.
"How could this be? Fatty's dragon-seeking technique has never failed !"
Feng Yan gazed at the cracked remnants of the furnace below, wondering if the fierce tribulation lightning had truly obliterated it.
Sighing, Feng Yan rose from the pit to find Huang looking deeply troubled as he approached.
"Young Master Feng, something's terribly wrong! The Supreme God Pill... it's gone!"
"What do you mean, gone?" Feng Yan's face darkened. This was a Supreme God Pill powerful enough to trigger Blood Echelon's Creation Tribulation Lightning.
"The compass just suddenly lost its signal!" Huang said, swallowing nervously. "Maybe the pill failed its tribulation and... disintegrated?"
"Failed its tribulation and disintegrated?"
Feng Yan clenched his teeth in disbelief. "Only you could come up with that!"
"Well... I mean, it's possible, right?" Huang stammered. "Otherwise, why would my compass just stop sensing it?"
"The spiritual power must have been too strong and overwhelmed your compass," Feng Yan snapped. "Stop looking at that broken compass and search the area. The supreme god pill could still be in the furnace fragments that flew out."
"Overwhelmed?" Huang glanced at his compass, feeling a bit indignant. "It doesn't look broken..."
At that moment, an excited shout rang out from behind them. A young genius from the Tianyang Empire laughed uproariously.
"I found it! I found the supreme god pill! Haha..."
