I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head



Purity's protection barrier had multiple layers, making it a vast defense system. Theoretically, it should be impossible for a Void Core to destroy it. However, Chu Yunfan managed with just one strike.

The sect master was astounded.

'Jian Wuchen is even more formidable than the rumors say. No, he's at least ten times more powerful!'

The sect master would not be worried if it were just Chu Yunfan's rumored strength. With its barriers, he thought Chu Yunfan could not do anything to Purity no matter how great his strength was.

'If I'm careful, I can buy time for Nine Star's experts to arrive.'

The sect master had already sent Nine Stars a request for backup when he confirmed he was facing Jian Wuchen, who had caused the slaughter in Yunshan.

The sect master knew why Chu Yunfan had come. 'It must be related to what happened to Tang Siyu.'

The clan master could not avoid this. His only option was to rely on Nine Stars if he wanted to defeat Chu Yunfan and drive him away. No one else other than Nine Stars could deal with Jian Wuchen.

Purity and Nine Stars were related—the former being Nine Stars' ally. If not for that, they would not have cooperated with Nine Stars' young master to trap and suppress a Void Core like Tang Siyu.

However, Chu Yunfan's attack wholly disrupted Purity's sect master's plans. The latter never expected his sect's barriers to be so vulnerable that Chu Yunfan's casual attack broke it.

Meanwhile, Purity's disciples were just as shocked as their faces were full of fear. The barriers they were proud of and thought they could rely on were less potent than they had imagined. It simply could not withstand a single blow from Chu Yunfan.

"How is this possible? How could our barriers be so weak?"

"What's his cultivation level? This is impossible!"

"I don't believe it. Those were our sect's most potent barriers!"

Everyone looked like they had seen a ghost, paler than a white sheet of paper. They looked at the scene before them in disbelief. When the sect members glanced at Chu Yunfan again, they looked like they were looking at a monster.

Simultaneously, they felt a deathly aura approaching.

Purity's sect master thundered, "Set up the stainless formation and delay him! Nine Stars' experts will be here soon!"

Soon after, one hundred and eight Divines flew out from Purity and set up a vast array to surround Chu Yunfan. Although each of these experts was not as attention-grabbing as the Core before them, a formation with more than a hundred Divine would be formidable enough to threaten even an ordinary Core.

"Kill him!"

The Divines roared and charged at Chu Yunfan. The group mobilized and formed a terrifying tide. The power of a hundred and eight people condensed into an incomparably horrifying phantom that attacked Chu Yunfan.

"You overestimate yourselves!" Chu Yunfan sneed and retaliated. A sword-shaped light flew across the sky and slashed downward.

Bang!

The sect members only heard a massive explosion. Chu Yunfan slashed the formation apart, and the hundred and eight Divines felt a force hitting their bodies. They let out miserable cries as they spat out mouthfuls of blood. Their bodies flew left and right. 

Chu Yunfan instantly broke the hundred-and-eight-men formation.

Immediately after, he slashed outward, and the sword-shaped light split into a hundred and eight lights that rained from the sky.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The sword-shaped lights fell one after another, sweeping across the formation like a rainstorm. Chu Yunfan's attack slashed apart the one hundred and eight Divines.

The blood of these experts sprayed everywhere, turning into a rain of blood that filled the sky and fell onto Purity's grounds. The bystanders were in shock and awe as they were drenched in blood, turning them into bloodied messes. A persistent fear arose in their eyes when Chu Yunfan slaughtered the Divines.

After all, those were a hundred and eight Divines, not a hundred and eight tomatoes. Those experts were Purity's backbone. Their formation was supposedly on par with an ordinary Core.

Still, Chu Yunfan destroyed them with just a few moves. He utterly exceeded the sect's understanding, and they finally understood why numbers were meaningless before peak experts.

That was because quality had surpassed what quantity could serve.

"How dare you!" Purity's sect master roared. He was about to mobilize all the divine power in his body to fight Chu Yunfan when he saw a sword-shaped beam sweep across the sky.

Chu Yunfan's attack had already landed on the sect leader's body at some point. The sect master did not even know when Chu Yunfan attacked. The former only reacted when Chu Yunfan's sword-shaped light swept downward.

Bam!

The attack sent the sect master flying, and his chest became bloodied.

Slam!

The clan master fiercely crashed into the mountain wall, immediately turning it into powder. He barely stopped even then, his face distorting from the overwhelming pain. He finally realized how big the gap was between him and Chu Yunfan. What he regretted most was why he had responded to the Nine Stars' search and attacked Tang Siyu.

She was just a lone cultivator without any foundation in their eyes. He wondered how a mere lone cultivator could fight against Nine Stars.

'I didn't know I would provoke such a terrifying person to retaliate.'

However, the sect master did not have time to regret his decision. The foundation Purity had passed down for so many years would get destroyed in a single day because of his injuries.

Still, Chu Yunfan did not take advantage of the sect master's injuries to pursue him. The former said indifferently, "I've already shown mercy, or you'd be dead. Tell me the token's secret. Then you and all who chased after Tang Siyu will kill yourselves."
