Wei Wudao's heart sank to the bottom.

"Damn Xiong Yan, always messing things up!" Wei Wudao cursed inwardly.

If only Xiong Yan had managed to take Xu Hei down with him before dying, blowing up the three Berserk Insect Kings, the situation wouldn't be so dire now.

Couldn't he at least make a contribution before dying?

Although Xu Hei was at the end of his strength, those three Berserk Insect Kings were no joke. If they attacked together, even if he could handle it, he would have no strength left to kill the other two.

"Now I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place."

"If I retreat now without eliminating Xu Hei, I won't be able to sleep or eat in peace. He will become a major threat in the future!"

"Or... should I use that move to kill Xu Hei?"

Wei Wudao quickly weighed his options. Although he had a way to take Xu Hei down, the consequences for himself would be severe.

Just then.

A violent tremor came from a stone chamber in the distance, breaking the Restriction light that had been binding it, and the door slowly opened.

It was the chamber that the three from the Yan Dao Sect had been working on.

They had spent the longest time on this chamber, taking a full six months to crack it.

As the door opened, waves of medicinal fragrance wafted out.

Huang Tiancheng flicked his fingers, sending out a Talisman to probe the area. After confirming it was safe, Hua Qingyun immediately entered and retrieved several pill bottles.

"Divine Fusion Pills?"

"More than one Divine Fusion Pill!"

Hua Qingyun exclaimed in surprise.

Wei Wudao's gaze was drawn over.

According to their prior agreement, the first Divine Fusion Pill was to be purchased by the Blood Refining Sect, and the remaining ones would go to the Yan Dao Sect, Tianhen Sword Sect, and then the Ancient Tomb Sect.

These pills could break through the bottleneck of Divine Transformation, and for an old monster like him, stuck at a cultivation bottleneck for countless years, they were priceless, more valuable than any Magical Treasure!

The people from the Tianhen Sword Sect quickly gathered around.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, three pills were taken out from the treasure bottle.

Three Divine Fusion Pills!

"Three of them?!"

Wei Wudao's eyes flickered, and without hesitation, he left the battlefield and rushed towards the stone chamber.

Ji Qing also hurriedly broke away and followed closely behind.

Huang Tiancheng held three pill bottles, separating the pills and placing them into individual bottles, saying, "As agreed, my Yan Dao Sect will take one, and the remaining two will go to the Tianhen Sword Sect and the Ancient Tomb Sect."

Li Changge took out a Storage Bag and handed it over.

They had only secured the right to purchase; they still needed to exchange equivalent items for the pills.

Wei Wudao also hurried forward, handing over a pre-prepared Storage Bag to Huang Tiancheng, fearing that if he was a step late, Huang Tiancheng might change his mind.

"Break!"

The Flame Demon Ancestor roared, burning a large hole in the cage and charging out.

At this moment, he also had three heads and six arms, transformed into a fire demon form, with blood flames surging all over his body. His skin had crystallized into carbon, and the high temperature he emitted turned the ground into magma, leaving burning footprints with each step, distorting the space around him.

His wounds were healing at a terrifying speed, returning to their original state in the blink of an eye.

"Forced me to activate my third form just to barely escape, this tree is truly bizarre!" The Flame Demon Ancestor had no intention of lingering in battle and quickly retreated, distancing himself from the Old Tree.

On the other side, the Blood Knife Patriarch had been battling Night Owl for half a day without a decisive outcome and similarly withdrew from the darkness, joining the Flame Demon Ancestor.

As for Lady White Bone, after several failed attempts to escape, she stood guard as Han Te suggested, remaining in place, making her the most relaxed of the group.

The three gathered together, their expressions grim.

The Blood Refining Sect had originally been the largest and most powerful team.

But now, only the three of them remained.

"If the first Divine Fusion Pill had been given to me, we wouldn't be in this mess."

Lady White Bone was deeply dissatisfied. She had fought for it at the time, but the Flame Demon Ancestor had decisively refused and awarded it to his disciple.

And what happened? Xiong Yan had just broken through and was killed by Xu Hei, wasting the Divine Fusion Pill.

If it had been given to her, although her chances of breaking through to the late stage of Divine Transformation were not high, only thirty percent, if successful, the situation would be vastly different.

This matter had always been a thorn in her side.

"Ancestor, there are three Divine Fusion Pills over there. Should we try to compete for them?" Lady White Bone suggested through voice transmission.

The Blood Knife Patriarch also transmitted his thoughts.

"Compete? With whom? Who do you want to offend?" The Flame Demon Ancestor replied with a gloomy face.

The two fell silent.

…………

"Fellow Daoist Huang, may I join the bidding for the Divine Fusion Pills?"

Xu Hei transmitted his voice from afar.

Huang Tiancheng looked up at him. Although he had been focused on breaking the Formation, he had witnessed the earlier battle.

Xu Hei's combat prowess was enough to command anyone's attention.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, this was an agreement we made beforehand and cannot be violated. However, if more Divine Fusion Pills appear later, I can prioritize selling them to you." Huang Tiancheng replied with a cupped fist.

"In that case, thank you."

Xu Hei nodded in acknowledgment.

The major sects here had made prior agreements to acquire the Divine Fusion Pills in order. Although he wanted to seize the Ancient Tomb Sect's pill, he had to let it go.

Even without the Divine Fusion Pill, Xu Hei still stepped forward to purchase two healing pills before leaving.

After obtaining the Divine Fusion Pill, Wei Wudao lost interest in fighting Xu Hei and quickly retreated, distancing himself from the others.

"Husband, are you going to enter seclusion again?" Ji Qing asked.

"Of course not. Since we've torn off the mask, these people won't allow me to peacefully cultivate to the late stage of Divine Transformation. The Blood Refining Sect can't be relied upon either. We'll deal with it after we leave." Wei Wudao replied solemnly.

He had underestimated Xu Hei's abilities. Xu Hei had managed to escape from several seemingly fatal situations, which was truly unbelievable.

The first time was in the thorny thicket, dragged away by the Demon Blood Vine; the second time was at the exit of the Land of the Moon, blocked by a strange tree; the third time was now.

Xu Hei's luck was simply too good!

He regretted provoking this person in the first place.

But now, he had no way out. It was a path of no return—either Xu Hei would die, or he would.

"Wei Wudao!"

At this moment, the Flame Demon Ancestor's voice came from afar.

"What is it?" Wei Wudao frowned.

"Once we get out, act immediately and destroy the Divine Continent Star! I will mobilize the entire Blood Refining Sect, and I hope you will cooperate and cut off their retreat!" The Flame Demon Ancestor said in a deep voice.

Without hesitation, Wei Wudao nodded in agreement and transmitted his response, "Alright! As you say, my Ancient Tomb Sect will fully cooperate!"

The Flame Demon Ancestor spat out a drop of burning blood, drawing a symbol in his palm. It was a special blood soul sacrifice order, capable of bypassing the spatial barriers here and directly sending a message to the sect outside.

However, the cost of using it once was significant, and it was not something to be used lightly.

So far, he had only sent a message back once.
