Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 1816

Chapter 1816 Coming to an End

"When should I use it?" Zhou Linfan asked with the pill in hand.

"As late as possible," Alex said. "I do not know how long you can handle the energy in that pill. So the later you do it, the better."

"So you don't have a time frame?" Zhou Linfan asked.

"Senior, truthfully, I don't even know what that pill does exactly," Alex said. "All I can be certain of is that it will draw from you and itself to bring out the powers of an Immortal. That is the only pill that exists in this world, so it is hard to tell exactly how it will work."

Alex had some idea of what would happen by looking at the ingredients and how they were working. His Alchemy God's Knowledge allowed him to internally visualize what the pill would do.

But with 9-veins in the pill, he had to amplify everything

overall, making his understanding of the events from the pill

not match the reality. He had a feeling that such issues would

be solved when the Alchemy God decided to let him learn a

few more things in the future.

"You should move back, Alex," Hannah said. "You need to get to

safety."

Alex looked at the battle that raged out there and nodded.

He had known since before he came, since before he sought

to bring war, that he would most likely not be the one to kill

the Dragon Emperor.

He not only knew it wouldn't be him, he knew that it couldn't

be him. He had suffered at the hands of the Emperor, but not

as much as the other's hand.

Yan Yating had lost soldiers and friends following the Dragon

Emperor's commands when he did not want to.

Hannah had been made to live a torturous life without any

senses for 70 years.

Zhou Linfan had his entire family killed by the emperor.

These were men who deserved to kill the Emperor. Everyone

else, including him, came nowhere near to be as deserving to

kill these people.

He wanted to kill the Dragon Emperor for the dead soldiers

and Yao Ning, but even so, he found himself accepting the fact

that the Dragon Emperor was not his to kill.

Even Pearl, who was more deserving, had let others kill the

man, so Alex could only do the same.

He walked away from Hannah and Zhou Linfan, returning to

his army who were defeating more and more of the Emperor's

soldiers to bring the war to an end. nove(l)bi(n.)com

Alex met up with Whisker and his father who were together

handling the army in the absence of Yan Yating.

"How is the fight going? Does it look winnable?" Graham asked

his son.

Alex nodded. "There is a good chance we will win," he said and

turned back toward Zhou Linfan. He could tell that the man

time not very conscious of the world around them.

Both of them had lost body parts that they hadn't generated

yet and seemed to be in extreme pain. He quickly sat beside

them and checked their situation.

The good news was that they had stabilized and their situation

was under control, but he didn't understand why they were

still hurt.

"I just gave them a pill to heal their soul a while ago," Zhou

Luoyang said. "Once that energy is gone from their body, I will

give them the healing pill."

"I see," Alex said. "Do you have enough pills?"

"For body, yes. but not for the soul," Zhuo Luoyang said. "I'm

already low on them despite what you gave me just a while

earlier."

"They should have a few," Alex pointed toward the elders.

"Have them give you theirs once they are conscious again."

Liz walked up to Alex. "How is it out there?" she asked. "How

is Hannah?"

"Sister is fine," Alex said. "The war itself is concluding, but the

Emperor is still alive and well, and until he comes down, I'm

afraid it won't be over."

Alex looked toward the prince to the side and gestured a

question.

"Don't worry about him," Liz said. "I won't let him do anything

stupid."

"I won't do anything stupid," Long Huan said in a grim tone.

His eyes were red with hatred, and there was a tension in his

face from him constantly gritting his teeth. Stains marked his

cheeks where his tears had yet to dry.

He looked up at Alex.

"Is my father yet unhurt?" he asked.

"He was close to getting killed earlier, but he ate a pill to heal

himself," Alex said.

Long Huan's eyes moved as his mind raced to get information.

"You have to be careful. My father has the accumulated

fortunes of the Azure Empire at his side. While not everything

is with him, he is sure to carry many lifesaving treasures with

him. Killing him outright will be difficult."

Alex nodded. "He's used a few already I believe," he said.

Long Huan got up from where he sat. "Then he must be close

to dying. Let's go," he said. "I wish to be there to see him die."
