This was also a cultivator’s magic treasure, having scavenged the space rings of thousands of cultivators, one could basically find any kind of weapon magic treasure.
The hammer had a handle one meter long, with a head three to four meters wide, comparable in size to the eldest sister’s hammer, but incomparable in quality.
However, it was more than enough to smash Enlightenment Tea Leaves.
Li Xiaobai stood up, took a deep breath, firmly gripped the handle with both hands, and powered up from his legs, twisting his waist and hips, smashing down with the hammer.
“Thud!”
The dull sound pierced through the entire hall, and the cultivators present felt their bodies tremble with the strike.
Unconsciously, the spiritual power in the flames in their hands fluctuated, and in an instant, the materials being extracted were destroyed, and despite being mentally prepared, they could not escape the fate of their elixirs shattering.
“Kid, you are clearly targeting us on purpose!”
“Indeed, noise is useless against us, yet you use the hammer to cause vibrations and disturb our Elixir Fire. My elixir could have been a perfect fifth-tier, or even a sixth-tier was not impossible. How will you compensate me!”
“Damn it, this behavior is simply a disregard for all of us!”
“You’ve chosen a narrow path!”
The cultivators went ballistic in an instant. The previous strike had caused the elixirs in the hands of half the cultivators to crack open, their spiritual power dissipating, rendering them into wasted elixirs.
Originally, many cultivators were full of pride, believing that they would definitely secure a good ranking this time, only to have their efforts disrupted by a junior.
It had been many years since they’d seen such a disruptive cultivator.
This was contempt for the Three Sects and even the dense array of powers within Central Province. Today, it would be very difficult for this youngster to leave alive.
“This is your problem. I’m showing you seniors respect by giving my all. It seems you seniors do not understand the true meaning of respect.”
Li Xiaobai raised the hammer high, and with another booming sound, it shook the scalps of the surrounding cultivators, and another round of elixirs in the hands of cultivators exploded, causing smoke and flames to rise everywhere in the area.
A few elders didn’t say much more. Words spoken are like water spilled, and they were waiting for the moment when the incense candle was completely burnt out.
As for the materials lost inside the great hall, they accepted their fate!
“The young brother’s ancient alchemy technique is indeed peculiar. If we can witness an exceptional elixir being presented, even if we lose the chance to compete in the rankings, what of it?”
A cultivator chuckled, the Elixir Fire in his hands running wild, suddenly sweeping towards Li Xiaobai who was on the high platform.
They had their elixirs burned by the other party, and they wanted to subtly trip him up in return. Everyone present was at the Divinity Transformation Stage, and many were masters of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. Elixir Fire was a flame born from the spiritual power in the Dantian, fortified by Primodial Spirit Power, its might was unparalleled.
Threads of fire, compressed to the extreme, sliced through the air, drifting towards Li Xiaobai’s position.
“Hiss hiss…”
The platform was burned through by the flames, with a vast inferno encircling and spreading towards Li Xiaobai’s body.
In just an instant, dozens of small flames surrounded Li Xiaobai.
These were not ordinary Elixir Fires, but ones that the cultivators had condensed and compressed, the fluctuations of spiritual power within them were truly terrifying.
“Oh dear, my apologies, my humble cultivation level caused me to lose control of my Elixir Fire when the young brother shook earlier.”
A cultivator spoke with a smile on his lips, but his eyes emitted a cold sharpness. He was very confident in his own strength; to a junior, even a genius, it would be impossible to withstand his flames. Even if by some chance he could, the Enlightenment Tea Leaves he was grinding would be burnt to ashes.
The faces of several elders remained calm, as though they did not witness the scene, tacitly allowing the small movements of the many cultivators.
Li Xiaobai felt the numbers transmitted from the System panel.
[Attribute Points +2000…]
[Attribute Points +2000…]
The damage from the elixir fire was average, suggesting the opponent likely had the power of someone at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.
“Hehe, kid, that’s a lot of fire!”
Ji Wuqing, shocked by the high temperature surrounding him, frantically flapped his wings, attempting to flee the platform.
“Young Master Li, are you alright?”
Liu Fei, standing nearby, also exclaimed in alarm, activating her cultivation technique, preparing to help Li Xiaobai extinguish the fire.
Li Xiaobai waved his hand dismissively, and, amidst the astonished stares of many cultivators, slowly rose to his feet. He reached out a hand and casually snuffed out each flicker of flame around him, then shook his hand as if it were no big deal.
“No worries, it’s not your fault you can’t control the fire due to your lower cultivation level. Just be more careful next time.”
The hall fell silent, as everyone gaped in disbelief.
The cultivators looked at Li Xiaobai with shocked expressions, not even bothering to take offense at the disparaging words he had just used. They knew that the elixir fire had been condensed by a cultivator at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, but here was Li Xiaobai extinguishing it with his bare hands—what kind of physical body did that require?
And what level of cultivation was needed to achieve such a feat?
“Just who exactly are you, sir? There are but a handful of young cultivators with the power of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, and this old man has never heard of a prodigy such as you,” said Elder Yao, his eyes narrowing with a dangerous glint as he stared at Li Xiaobai. A wisp of pale fire stealthily split from the flames in his hand and snaked behind the platform, where it viciously stabbed towards the back of Li Xiaobai’s head.
“I am ranked 3000th in the land: ‘Begging for Death’ Li Xiaobai. Elder Yao, it seems you’re not well-informed about the events beyond your windows,” Li Xiaobai said with a chuckle, making no move as the strand of white fire continued to burn behind his head. His defensive power was so strong that not even a Great Ascension could break through it; the opponent couldn’t harm him.
Elder Yao’s eyes went wide in disbelief. The flame in his hand was a unique Heaven and Earth Treasure developed to full potential, its power immense, something naturally born from the world itself. Yet there was Li Xiaobai, standing as if nothing was amiss, allowing it to burn atop his head.
What was going on?
The other cultivators stared, dumbfounded. This cultivator who had come to cause trouble was definitely no ordinary man. Setting aside his alchemy skills, just this display of strength alone was enough to overshadow most of the cultivators present.
The atmosphere turned strange as a young man stood holding a giant hammer, smiling amiably at everyone with white flames above his head.
The Elders, too, wore expressions of astonishment, clearly not expecting the arrogant young man to possess such capabilities. However, the alchemy competition must go on.
“Watch the time, the incense candle is almost burnt out!”
The voice echoed throughout the entire hall, infused with a hint of Primordial Spirit Power, calming the minds of the people present.
Elder Yao quickly refocused, his attention returning to the herbs before him. No matter what level of cultivation that young whippersnapper had, if he couldn’t present a respectable elixir by the time allotted, there would only be death awaiting him.
With this thought, his mood eased considerably, no longer as tense as before.
After all, they were here to compete in alchemy, what use was the strength of his cultivation now?
The other cultivators seemed to reach the same conclusion, relaxing a bit and returning to their elixirs with increased focus. In their opinion, Li Xiaobai was already as good as dead.
Offending the Elixir Sect, having crossed an entire array of alchemy masters, Li Xiaobai was, despite all his talents, not going to make it out alive that day!
However, they were soon to realize how naive their earlier thoughts were.
Li Xiaobai, carrying his giant hammer, looked around at everyone, then grinned and asked, “Esteemed sages, have you ever heard of the Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique?”
