Chapter 95: Chaos Swallowing Cauldron

The Demon Emperor’s Will slowly faded. But for next several breaths, Long Feng remained motionless.

The cavern was finally silent. Yet inside his soul, something completely different was happening.

A strange and powerful sensation slowly spread through his spiritual sea.

Long Feng’s eyebrows twitched. He could clearly feel a foreign force being absorbed into his soul.

It was not ordinary spiritual energy. It was Will.

The remnant Will that Ye Wuxie had carried from his previous life was slowly being devoured by the Demon Emperor’s Will before merging into Long Feng’s own soul.

As the last traces of Ye Wuxie’s Will disappeared, Long Feng’s soul suddenly trembled.

BOOM!

An invisible wave spread through his spiritual sea. His soul power increased. Although the increase wasn’t enormous, it was still clearly noticeable.

The increase was small, but Long Feng could clearly feel the difference.

It was as though a layer of invisible dust had been wiped away from his spiritual sea. His thoughts became clearer, his senses sharper, and even the circulation of his soul power seemed smoother than before.

More importantly, the Demon Emperor’s Will within his soul seemed to have become slightly more solid.

Long Feng’s eyes narrowed.

Although he had obtained only a fragment of Ye Wuxie’s previous-life Will, the quality of that Will was extraordinary. Even after being damaged and weakened for countless years, it still contained an extremely pure power of Will.

’If I continue devouring powerful souls and Wills like this, my soul power might become one of my greatest advantages.’

A faint, cold smile appeared on his face.

He wasn’t interested in Ye Wuxie’s past out of sympathy or curiosity.

If there was something useful inside it, he would take it.

That was all.

His spiritual sense became sharper, and his perception of the surrounding environment became slightly clearer than before.

Long Feng’s eyes flashed with surprise.

’So this was the Will Ye Wuxie had been relying on.’

He finally understood.

Before, he had wondered why Ye Wuxie hadn’t used some of the terrifying abilities he had displayed earlier.

He had thought Ye Wuxie was deliberately saving those techniques for the right moment, but now he knew.

It wasn’t that Ye Wuxie didn’t want to use them, but he couldn’t.

His previous life’s Will had already been severely damaged when his physical body was destroyed.

What remained inside his soul was merely a tiny fragment. And that fragment had now become Long Feng’s nourishment.

’Not bad.’

A faint smile appeared on Long Feng’s face.

However, before he could enjoy the increase in his soul power for long, his mind trembled.

BOOM!

A large number of strange scenes suddenly flashed through his consciousness.

’What is this?’ Long Feng’s expression changed.

He saw an enormous mountain surrounded by endless clouds, a figure stood above the mountain, whose aura was so terrifying that even the heavens seemed to tremble beneath his presence.

He was holding a sword and that one casual slash split the sky apart.

Long Feng saw countless cultivators kneeling beneath an ancient palace.

A battlefield stretching across the horizon.

Countless powerful cultivators fought in the sky while terrifying techniques illuminated the entire world.

It wasn’t Ye Wuxie in them.

It was the person Ye Wuxie had been in his previous life, a powerful expert.

A terrifying existence who possessed cultivation far beyond what Long Feng could currently comprehend.

The figure stood alone in the middle of a ruined battlefield, surrounded by countless corpses.

Those memories fragments flashed so quickly that Long Feng could barely grasp it.

’So these are Ye Wuxie’s memories?’

They weren’t complete, just some fragments.

Because Ye Wuxie’s soul had been devoured, the memories attached to his remaining Will had also been damaged.

Long Feng could see certain events clearly, while others were nothing more than blurry images.

He could tell that Ye Wuxie’s previous life had been extremely powerful.

He could also see fragments of his cultivation path, battles, treasures, techniques, and several mysterious places, but he couldn’t connect everything together.

There were too many missing pieces.

Some fragments were so strange that Long Feng couldn’t even determine whether they belonged to the same period.

In one scene, Ye Wuxie’s previous life stood before an enormous ancient gate covered in mysterious runes.

In another, countless stars seemed to collapse in the distance while several terrifying figures fought above an endless void.

There were also flashes of ancient treasures that Long Feng had never seen before, enormous beasts whose bodies were larger than mountains, and mysterious ruins buried beneath an endless darkness.

Every time Long Feng tried to focus on one of these memories, the scene shattered before he could see anything clearly.

’What realm had he reached in his previous life?’

Long Feng frowned.

Even through these incomplete memories, he could tell that Ye Wuxie’s previous life had reached a level far beyond his current understanding.

Perhaps even the strongest experts he had encountered in the Central Region were nothing more than ants before that existence.

Unfortunately, the memories ended there.

Long Feng could only suppress his curiosity.

Whatever secrets Ye Wuxie had possessed in his previous life, he would have to uncover them slowly.

’It’s like looking through a shattered book.’

Long Feng slowly calmed himself.

Still, there was one thing he could clearly see.

The memories closer to Ye Wuxie’s current life were much clearer.

He saw Ye Wuxie entering the Blazing Flame Mountain, Golden Fire Fruit and setting up his formation.

But before he could investigate further, a familiar mechanical voice suddenly sounded inside his mind.

[Congratulations, Host! You have successfully eliminated a Protagonist.]

[The Host’s Villain Rank has advanced. Minor Villain → Major Villain.]

’Is this reward?’ Long Feng’s eyebrows lifted slightly.

He glanced at the notification for a moment before ignored it.

Compared to the reward that came afterward, the title wasn’t particularly important to him.

[Reward Available: Random Alchemist Expert Legacy.]

’Alchemist legacy?’ Long Feng’s eyes immediately brightened.

This was different.

He genuinely needed more alchemical knowledge.

His cultivation and combat strength were important, but his identity as an alchemist could become an enormous advantage in the future.

If he could obtain the legacy of a powerful alchemist, his understanding of pills, medicinal herbs, flame control, and refining would improve tremendously.

Long Feng couldn’t help but become excited.

’System, please give me a powerful Emperor-level alchemist legacy.’

He knew that his wish was probably too much. Still, there was no harm in hoping.

The System remained silent for a moment, silently changing the images in front of him.

[Selected: Bi Xue Poison Lord’s legacy.]

Long Feng’s expression froze.

’Bi Xue Poison Lord?’

The next moment, once again, an enormous amount of information exploded inside his mind.

Feeling the heaviness in his mind, his entire body trembled. Countless memories flooded into his consciousness.

For a moment, Long Feng felt as though an entire world of alchemy had been forced into his mind.

Thousands upon thousands of medicinal herbs appeared in his consciousness.

He could identify their names, their attributes, their growth environments, their medicinal effects, and even the precise temperature required to refine them.

Some herbs required extreme heat.

Others could be destroyed by the slightest increase in temperature.

There were herbs that could only be refined together with the blood of powerful beasts, while others required soul power instead of spiritual energy during the refining process.

Long Feng’s breathing gradually became heavier.

This wasn’t merely a collection of pill formulas.

It was an entire system of alchemical knowledge.

The deeper he explored, the more shocked he became.

’So this is the knowledge of a seventh-rank alchemist.’

Even though he hadn’t personally refined most of these pills, he could already understand the principles behind them.

As long as his soul power continued to increase and he gained enough practical experience, his alchemist rank would eventually rise naturally.

Long Feng gritted his teeth and endured the terrifying flood of information.

After several breaths, everything finally settled and he slowly opened his eyes. His expression was complicated.

’Seventh rank.’

The Bi Xue Poison Lord had been a seventh-rank alchemist, comparable to a human Void Ascension Realm expert.

It’s rank was quite good, through not that much high he expected. But worst thing is that his entire path had revolved around poisons and evil skills that use human blood and soul.

His alchemy methods were strange, sinister, and extremely vicious.

’Of course.’

Long Feng couldn’t help but sigh internally. ’Why would I ever get a normal alchemist’s legacy?’

It seemed that his System had decided to remain consistent. Almost everything it gave him was somehow related to the word "evil."

Still, a faint smile appeared on Long Feng’s face.

’At least I didn’t completely waste this reward.’

The legacy contained an enormous amount of knowledge.

Long Feng could now recognize countless medicinal herbs that he had never even heard of before.

He understood their properties, knew how to process them and inherited the knowledge of most pills up to the seventh grade.

This was an enormous gain.

Now, he didn’t need to immediately increase his alchemist rank.

With enough knowledge and experience, his alchemist rank would naturally rise in the future. He just needed to increase his soul power.

As for the other parts of the legacy, thinking about them made his expression became strange.

There were formulas that condensed the life force of living beings into medicinal essence.

There were even methods for refining soul essence into special pills capable of strengthening one’s own spiritual sense.

One particularly vicious recipe required the blood of cultivators to be refined together with several rare spiritual herbs.

Long Feng’s mouth twitched.

’This guy really deserves the title Bi Xue Poison Lord.’

He shook his head.

At least the knowledge was now his. Whether he used those evil recipes or not was another matter.

Long Feng took a deep breath. His excitement slowly settled. Then his eyes suddenly turned toward the small black cauldron lying nearby.

’Now, what exactly are you?’
