The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron-Chapter 1782 - 1879: Back to the Past

"Swallow this pill!" Jin Zhulong shouted at Fang Lin, then turned around to continue his fierce battle with Mo Shouhe.

Mo Shouhe noticed the pills had fallen into Fang Lin’s hands, his brow furrowed slightly, and with a gentle wave of the Measure Heaven Ruler in front of him, a void appeared before Mo Shouhe, followed by a vortex that seemed to want to swallow everything around it.

"Both man and pill, come to me." Mo Shouhe threw the Measure Heaven Ruler to block the desperately attacking Jin Zhulong, then reached into the vortex in front of him with one hand.

Fang Lin held the crimson pill, unsure of what to do. Suddenly, his body tensed, and behind him, another vortex appeared with Mo Shouhe’s hand reaching out of it, grasping Fang Lin’s neck directly.

"This is bad!" Fang Lin was shocked, wanting to resist and struggle, but it was impossible. Mo Shouhe’s strength was too terrifying, far beyond what Fang Lin could oppose.

Fang Lin was like a little chick, grabbed and pulled into the vortex by Mo Shouhe, his destination unknown.

Jin Zhulong saw this situation, yet showed no sign of panic. Instead, he felt secretly pleased and relieved.

At this moment, Fang Lin, gripped by the back of his neck by Mo Shouhe’s hand, found himself in a void space, as if in another world, where nothing surrounded him, and everything in sight was distorted.

The only visible things were two vortices—one moving farther away, the other closer. Fang Lin knew the nearer vortex was the one in front of Mo Shouhe, who was using a bizarre method to drag him in front of him.

Just as he was about to be pulled out of the vortex, a figure suddenly appeared before Fang Lin and, without any hesitation, struck Mo Shouhe’s arm holding Fang Lin’s neck.

"Hmm?" Mo Shouhe’s expression changed slightly in the outside world, with one hand still firmly grabbing Fang Lin through the vortex. Although surprised by the change within the space, he was not flustered. After all, it was a space he created with his immense power. Even if someone else entered, they couldn’t pose a threat to him.

Mo Shouhe temporarily released Fang Lin when his arm was attacked but also closed the other end of the vortex, leaving only the vortex in front of him as Fang Lin’s only escape route.

Within the mysterious space, the person who suddenly appeared grabbed Fang Lin and led him toward the depth of the space.

"Mother!!!"

Only then did Fang Lin realize that the person who came to his rescue was his mother, Bai Qingxue.

"Time is running out; I can’t explain everything in detail. After taking the pill, I will send you to the ancient past. You will know what to do once you get there," Bai Qingxue said concisely.

Fang Lin stared blankly at Bai Qingxue, utterly bewildered by the sudden turn of events.

Bai Qingxue glanced back at Fang Lin, her beautiful eyes full of reluctance and concern, but more with reassurance.

"I know you have many questions, but once you go back to the past, you will understand many things. I cannot go with you; I must return to your father’s side immediately. Jin Zhulong will try his best to hold off Mo Shouhe for you. Just remember, when it’s time to make a decision, don’t hesitate," Bai Qingxue said, trying to keep her tone calm. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Seeing Bai Qingxue’s serious expression, Fang Lin knew he had to suppress his doubts and follow her instructions.

Thus, Fang Lin swallowed the crimson pill directly, with Bai Qingxue leading the way to a place where even time seemed to dissipate.

"Go!" Bai Qingxue thrust her palms out, striking a void in front of her, instantly turning it pitch black with overwhelming power.

Without hesitation and trusting his mother wouldn’t harm him, Fang Lin leaped into the darkness.

Instantly, a dreadful force swept over Fang Lin, almost crushing him entirely.

"Aaaahhhhh!!!!"

Fang Lin screamed in agony, the despair of death looming over him. No Holy Spirit could survive here; even with the True Dragon Physique, he was instantly crushed by the place’s power.

Bai Qingxue watched as Fang Lin was crushed into pieces in the darkness, a look of reluctance in her eyes, but she turned and left, vanishing from the eerie space.

Meanwhile, outside, a hint of anger mingled with shock finally appeared on Mo Shouhe’s face.

"So that’s it! Trying to travel to a bygone era through the dimension I created. Quite the calculation!" Mo Shouhe’s voice held suppressed anger, his eyes fixed on Jin Zhulong battling him.

Jin Zhulong chuckled, a touch of smugness on his aged face. "What’s the matter, Mo Martial Master? Without the pill, can your injuries not heal? Or are you worried about something?"

Mo Shouhe looked at Jin Zhulong indifferently, Measure Heaven Ruler back in hand, easily fending off all of Jin Zhulong’s attacks.

"A decent scheme, but whether it succeeds remains to be seen," Mo Shouhe said calmly.

Jin Zhulong noted Mo Shouhe’s composure and felt a pang of doubt. Had this guy foreseen their plan and prepared early on?

Or was Mo Shouhe so confident that he believed he could turn things around despite the current situation?

Jin Zhulong sighed internally, knowing all he could do was put everything into holding Mo Shouhe here, preventing him from interfering with others.

As for how the plan would unfold, Jin Zhulong wasn’t sure; it was entirely up to Fang Lin.

Meanwhile, in the boundless darkness, Fang Lin’s crushed body suddenly surged with abundant vitality, his form reconstituting almost instantly, completely healed.

But then an immensely powerful force reappeared, crushing Fang Lin’s body once more, and then it was restored yet again. This cycle repeated over and over, numbing Fang Lin to the agony of being torn apart.

It was then Fang Lin understood why Jin Zhulong had fought so hard for the ninth-grade pill, and why his mother Bai Qingxue wanted him to take it; it was to rely on the immense vitality within the pill to survive here.

As Fang Lin endured the pain of being crushed again and again, he reflected on the events leading up to this moment, realizing unknowingly, he had become a key figure in something monumental.
