Chapter 194 Nightmare King Steals the Elixir

"It seems there's really no way to secure a spot for Nightmare Candle."

As he left the temple, Venerable Fire Erosion was filled with helplessness.

Among the human race, powerful beings like the True God of Heaven and Earth and the Lord of the Galaxy are only a minority. Most powerful beings cultivate step by step from the bottom. By the time they achieve success in their cultivation, their families are long gone, and most powerful beings are extremely lonely.

He was exceptionally talented, hailed as a genius who appeared only once every ten million epochs, on par with the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master and the Nine Swords Venerable, and his growth rate was extremely fast.

Even so, after he became immortal, his wife, parents, and children had all died, leaving only Nightmare Candle, who had barely broken through to the Domain Lord level, as his only relative, and whose lifespan was also running out. Naturally, he cherished and even doted on her.

In order to extend the lifespan of Nightmare Candle, he spent a huge amount of money to find extremely precious treasures to help it break through to become immortal. After he became a cosmic venerable, he even obtained a special treasure from the Lord of Void Gold, which gave Nightmare Candle the strength to be crowned king.

But that's all.

The Nightmare Candle King himself had a very bad temperament and a weak will. He hated all the famous geniuses, and for this reason he had a great enmity with the True Stroke King, and later he offended Luo Feng.

It was only because of Venerable Fire Erosion that the higher-ups of the human race were willing to turn a blind eye; otherwise, some powerful figures would probably have already killed Nightmare Candle King.

"Nightmare Candle..."

Pain was evident in Venerable Fiery's eyes.

Having found a cosmic venerable one specifically in charge of teleporting to the divine kingdom, Venerable Fiery quickly arrived at the Milky Way Heavenly Palace.

"Greetings to the great Lord Qiankun!"

Upon entering the temple, Venerable Fiery bowed respectfully to Xu Qiankun, who sat regally on the "King of Hell's Throne."

"Hmm, no need for formalities." Xu Qiankun nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over Venerable Fiery Corrosion. Finding no abnormalities in his soul or divine power, he waved his hand and bestowed a bottle upon him, "Take this and consume it immediately."

"Yes, thank you, Lord Qiankun."

The Venerable Fire Erosion showed a look of joy on his face as he left the palace with the bottle in both hands.

Outside the Milky Way Heavenly Palace, hundreds of powerful humans were breaking through their limits after consuming the 'Peach Golden Pill'. Their divine bodies were growing rapidly, and their terrifying auras were spreading continuously. Even he, a cosmic venerable, felt a chill run down his spine.

"So many powerful individuals breaking through to become true gods at the same time, it's terrifying." Venerable Fiery's face turned pale. "I think I'll go back to the Giant Axe Arena headquarters to break through."

The Peaches of Immortality and Golden Elixir are incredibly precious; consuming just one can transform one into a true god, naturally possessing unparalleled allure.

Not to mention that Xu Qiankun and the human race had no intention of hiding it at all. Even if they wanted to, they couldn't hide it. After all, the commotion caused by thousands or tens of thousands of people breaking through to become true gods in a very short period of time was too great.

In the present-day human territory, around the lair of some cosmic venerables, countless powerful alien beings lurk, eager to seize the 'Peach of Immortality and Golden Elixir'.

If you could take it, you would immediately become a true god, a cosmic overlord, a top cosmic overlord, or even a cosmic master. Who wouldn't be tempted?

Even true gods have developed a strong interest in the 'Peach Blossom Golden Pill'. They have descendants, and even they themselves want to take one to see if it can increase their chances of passing through reincarnation.

Because risks are everywhere, the powerful individuals who obtain the Peaches of Immortality and Golden Pills are so cautious, and they mostly take them outside the Milky Way Heavenly Palace to break through.

It seems there is no safer place in the entire primordial universe or even the cosmic ocean.

However, some powerful individuals choose to consume the Golden Elixir in other places after obtaining it, such as the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company or the headquarters of the Giant Axe Martial Arts Arena, where many powerful individuals are stationed. This is considered normal practice.

Venerable Fire Eclipse opened the Divine Kingdom Passage and teleported directly back to the headquarters of the Giant Axe Arena.

"Father"

Just as Venerable Fire Eclipse returned to his palace in the Giant Axe Arena, a young man with flowing long hair, extremely refined features, and an exceptionally handsome appearance, but with extremely sinister eyes, walked in.

"Father, I heard you went to the Heavenly Palace in the Milky Way and obtained those incredibly magical peaches and golden pills?"

Nightmare Candle King asked repeatedly, his eyes becoming extremely fervent.

"Of course I got it."

The Venerable Fiery said with a smile, took out a bottle, opened it, and showed it to the Nightmare Candle King.

Inside the bottle lay a perfectly round, golden pill, emanating an extremely rich fragrance that was so invigorating that even a slight whiff could enhance one's life force and genetic level.

"Just smelling it can elevate my genetic level? That's too exaggerated..."

Nightmare Candle King's eyes widened, his gaze towards the pill becoming incredibly greedy, but fearing his father would see, he quickly concealed his true feelings.

"Father, you should take it quickly," King Nightmare Candle said with envy. "I've heard that consuming this 'Peach of Immortality Pill' can not only directly make one a true god, but also greatly benefit one's journey through reincarnation."

"Yes, that's true," Venerable Fiery nodded. "I'll adjust my condition and take it immediately."

"Father, I'll be leaving now."

The Nightmare Candle King spoke and walked straight out of the palace.

Venerable Fire Erosion casually placed the bottle aside, sat cross-legged, and began to adjust his state.

bang

Suddenly, an extremely powerful surge of divine energy emanated from outside the palace.

"What's wrong?"

Venerable Fire Eclipse suddenly opened his eyes and disappeared from the spot in a flash. The instant Venerable Fire Eclipse disappeared, King Nightmare Candle rushed in from outside the palace.

Seeing the bottle containing the "Peach of Immortality and Golden Elixir" on the ground, he was immediately invigorated. "It really is here."

He quickly ran to the bottle and opened it directly.

The golden elixir inside flew out, transforming into a golden sphere a hundred meters in diameter. The Nightmare Candle King's divine body rapidly expanded, and then he swallowed the elixir in one gulp.

Buzz

The elixir took effect immediately upon entering the body, with boundless life energy and creative energy flowing into the divine body.

His divine kingdom is expanding, and his understanding of the laws is increasing.

Originally a useless person who could barely become immortal and whose title was entirely due to a supreme treasure, he comprehended the three major branches of the spatial laws—teleportation, strangulation, and sealing—in an extremely short time. Subsequently, the three branches merged, and he became a cosmic venerable.

"Bastard!"

At the same time, Venerable Fire Eclipse had returned. Seeing this scene, he was furious. He wanted to take back the 'Peach and Golden Pill', but he had no chance at all. He could only immediately report the news to Lord of Void Gold.

"What? Nightmare Candle stole your share of the Peach and Golden Pill?"

In the virtual universe, after learning this news from Venerable Fire Eclipse, Lord of False Gold was completely stunned.

He stared at Venerable Fire Erosion in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Teacher, I was just about to take the 'Peach Elixir' when a violent surge of divine power suddenly came from outside the palace. I thought there was an intruder, so I rushed to reinforce it, but I never expected it to be that bastard's diversionary tactic."

Venerable Fiery Erosion hurriedly explained, his eyes filled with regret and pain, as if he could not accept being betrayed by the person closest to him.

"Erosion Fire" Lord of Void Metal looked at his disciple who was performing with a face full of disappointment. "Do you think I'm easy to fool?"

"This disciple dares not."

Venerable Fire Erosion immediately knelt down, his face showing fear.

The Lord of False Gold ignored him completely and continued, "Or do you think you can become a true god and the most powerful being in this primordial universe so that you can disregard the rules of my human race?"

"Teacher, I wouldn't dare, I didn't mean that!"

Venerable Erosion Fire quickly explained.

"You dare not?" The Lord of Void Gold sneered. "This Peach Golden Pill is incredibly precious, its value is many times higher than that of the most powerful treasures. Instead of consuming it the moment you got your hands on it, you want to adjust your condition. Do you need to adjust your condition to consume the Peach Golden Pill?"

"You think there's an invasion from outsiders? What kind of outsider would dare to openly invade my Giant Axe Arena headquarters? Do you think Giant Axe, the Primordial Ancestor, or even Qiankun don't exist? Aren't you afraid of being wiped out like the Prison Clan, with not even a trace of blood left?"

"Even if you were to be invaded, shouldn't your first reaction be to carry such precious treasures as peaches of immortality and golden pills with you or put them in the safest place? You think the safest place is your dilapidated palace?"

"Or do you think that because you are a cosmic sage, you should be promoted to a true god, and that even if you lose this 'Peach of Immortality Golden Pill,' your clan will give you another one?"

The Lord of False Gold asked a series of questions, which made Venerable Fire Erosion turn pale. "Teacher, I really didn't think that much."

"Keep those words to Qiankun."

The Lord of False Gold quickly calmed down, and his gaze toward Venerable Fire Corrosion turned icy cold.

After easily suppressing the Fiery Venerable, the Lord of Void Gold quickly contacted Xu Qiankun through the virtual universe to report the news, without daring to conceal it in the slightest.
