Chapter 2315: Desperate Counterattack!

Pfft!

As Ye Yuan placed a piece, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Another move, another spit; another move, another spit.

His physical body was extremely powerful, but now it was nearly exhausted.

He looked utterly miserable.

This pill refinement duel was no less than a monumental battle.

For Ye Yuan, it was too arduous.

The Saint Ancestor High Priest looked at Ye Yuan and couldn't help recalling his younger self.

How similar this scene was!

He had sat motionless before the chessboard for thousands of years.

The Medicine Ancestor's moves struck directly at the Dao heart, impossible to guard against.

Ye Yuan's strength was already too weak; facing the even more formidable Medicine Ancestor, he could only suffer a more thorough defeat.

"Alas, it's all my fault. This kid... is probably ruined," the Saint Ancestor High Priest sighed softly.

Even without his words, everyone could see it.

This myth ends here!

A genius who shook the world had made his final bow.

"Young friend, this is the end!"

Suddenly, the Medicine Ancestor's hoarse voice came from above the void.

Slap!

A piece fell, the void trembled violently, and the entire chessboard world shook fiercely.

On the chessboard, a brilliant white light burst forth, piercing the sky and completely engulfing the black pieces.

In this chessboard world, there was no longer any way for the black pieces to survive.

Ye Yuan shuddered, his eyes filled with utter despair.

Clearly, he had no way out.

His gaze showed contemplation, as if he didn't understand the situation before him.

"It shouldn't be like this!" Ye Yuan frowned.

"Young friend, you have lost," the Medicine Ancestor said indifferently.

Ye Yuan shook his head: "I haven't lost. There must still be a way out!"

The Medicine Ancestor said casually: "When you made your first move, I had already seen a hundred moves ahead. Every move of yours is within my calculations. The world you built operates according to my will. Do you still refuse to admit defeat?"

This was a game of chess, but also a true battle.

Whoever dominated this cosmic chessboard would be the victor.

The Medicine Ancestor here was not the one from Mo Wen's time.

That Medicine Ancestor was merely a remnant soul, suppressed by the Saint Ancestor High Priest, allowing Ye Yuan to calmly lay his plans.

Here, his opponent was the true Medicine Ancestor, whose power could shatter everything.

No matter what tricks you had, they were worthless before absolute strength.

This pill refinement duel had been firmly controlled by the Medicine Ancestor from the very beginning.

What kind of world Ye Yuan wanted to build and how he would build it—the Medicine Ancestor saw it all clearly.

Thus, he didn't need to think at all.

When man thinks, God laughs.

That was exactly the situation here.

The Medicine Ancestor stood at too high a level; he viewed this pill refinement duel from the perspective of a god.

No matter how many changes you made, how could you escape the eyes of a god?

Ye Yuan's painstaking thoughts were nothing but a farce in the Medicine Ancestor's eyes.

"No one can control everything! Not I, not you, and not even... the Heavenly Dao! I may lose, but... I will not lose like this!" Ye Yuan said in an equally hoarse voice.

The game had lasted nearly a hundred years, and Ye Yuan had been trying to break free from the Medicine Ancestor's control.

Every move he made was extremely difficult.

When facing a god-like opponent, following their rhythm made victory impossible.

Others thought he was overreaching, but they didn't know how remarkable it was that he had lasted this long.

From the Medicine Ancestor's first move, Ye Yuan understood that the current Medicine Ancestor was far more powerful than the one from years ago!

He had sparred with the Saint Ancestor High Priest, and though it was just a small test, he could confirm that the Saint Ancestor High Priest was far inferior to the Medicine Ancestor!

He certainly didn't think the Saint Ancestor High Priest was deliberately setting him up; it only showed that the Medicine Ancestor had made tremendous progress over the years.

It could be said that the Medicine Ancestor was now infinitely close to the level of the Dao Pill, nearly divine.

No wonder, at first sight of the Medicine Ancestor, he had the absurd illusion that the other was a pill.

But so what?

He had come to witness the pinnacle of the alchemy Dao!

Struggling against heaven—what joy!

Struggling against a god—what joy!

"I have merged with Yi's Dao and touched the power of rules! In this Dao, I am the god! How can an ant fight a god?" the Medicine Ancestor said calmly.

The assembled ancestors were shocked—touching the power of rules was the level of a Dao Ancestor!

Such an existence was truly like a ruler, with unimaginable power.

Now, the title of Medicine Ancestor was truly deserved!

"Even if you were a god, so what?"

Ye Yuan's gaze shifted back to the chessboard, and he fell into thought again.

The Medicine Ancestor paid him no mind, moving back to the cloud platform.

"Heh, this kid is as stubborn as you were back then!" the Medicine Ancestor said with a dry laugh.

Yi's gaze darkened, and he said coldly: "Stop pretending. You're actually quite surprised, aren't you? Or rather, you're secretly delighted! Because I've brought you a treasure!"

The Medicine Ancestor laughed: "Heh, it seems you understand now. I didn't reach where I am today by suppressing juniors. Your loss of Dao heart is merely a flaw in your Dao. Yes, today you've given me a great gift. The power of this kid's Dao is beyond my imagination! Once I digest today's battle, I will surely comprehend the power of rules and reach the true Dao Pill level!"

Everyone shuddered—this news was too shocking.

The Dao Pill was the realm every alchemist dreamed of.

But no one had ever achieved it!

After today, the Medicine Ancestor would reach this supreme realm!

Previously, everyone said the Medicine Ancestor was half a Dao Ancestor.

But soon, the Medicine Ancestor would become a true Dao Ancestor-level powerhouse!

At this moment, everyone's gaze toward Ye Yuan turned to pity.

Everyone thought Ye Yuan's sudden rise would shake the foundation of Cloud Heart Realm and plunge the alchemy world into an era of warring states.

But who knew the Medicine Ancestor would use Ye Yuan as a stepping stone to attain Dao Ancestorhood!

"Heh, congratulations to the Medicine Ancestor on becoming the supreme of the alchemy Dao!"

"Congratulations!"

...

A group of ancestors stepped forward to offer their congratulations in advance.

The moment the Medicine Ancestor attained the Dao, the entire Tongtian Realm would tremble.

Then the Medicine Ancestor's status would truly stand alongside the Dao Ancestors.

And the alchemy Dao would truly stand alongside the martial Dao, becoming a supreme great Dao.

The significance was immense!

The Medicine Ancestor did not return the greetings, still squinting, calm and unruffled.

At his level, he was no longer moved by joy or sorrow.

Slap!

A crisp sound suddenly rang through heaven and earth, abruptly interrupting the congratulations.

Everyone turned to see Ye Yuan stubbornly placing another piece.

"Heh, this kid still won't give up?"

"Pathetic, lamentable!"

"A genius has fallen."

...

Everyone showed contempt, disdainful of Ye Yuan's refusal to accept defeat.

But at that moment, the Medicine Ancestor's eyes, which had been closed, suddenly snapped open, staring fixedly at the cosmic chessboard, shooting out beams of light!
