The Ultimate of All Ages Novels - Chapter 0020
Chapter 20: Ultimate of All Ages – Purification
The countdown to the duel between Li Yunxiao and Blue Xuan had begun.
Three days remained.
While the academy buzzed with anticipation, Li Yunxiao was calmly refining his power, preparing for what was to come.
Tonight, he wasn’t focused on combat.
Tonight… he was focused on alchemy.
Inside the Alchemy Chamber – Perfection Takes Time
Li Yunxiao sat before a refining cauldron, two pills resting in his palm—
The Essence Refining Pill
The Explosive Qi Pill
Both had been successfully refined with Jia Rong’s assistance, but there was one problem.
Their purity wasn’t high enough.
If he wanted the full benefits in battle, he needed to further purify them.
Jia Rong had already collapsed from exhaustion, leaving Li Yunxiao to finish the job alone.
“No matter. I work best alone anyway.”
He activated his soul power, circulating it through the cauldron’s formation.
Within seconds, a bright purple flame flickered into existence, dancing over the surface of the pills.
The key to purification wasn’t raw heat, but precise control.
He had to burn away the impurities while keeping the core medicinal properties intact.
The process was delicate.
Even a slight miscalculation would ruin the entire batch.
But for Li Yunxiao…
It was effortless.
The Final Step – Unveiling True Potential
As the flames slowly intensified, he used a series of intricate hand seals, carefully adjusting the heat.
The pills began to shimmer, their surfaces turning crystal clear, reflecting light like polished gemstones.
This was the final stage of purification.
If done correctly, these pills would be at pure-grade perfection.
He closed his eyes, focusing.
Then—
BOOM!
A golden ripple exploded outward, sending shockwaves across the chamber.
As the dust settled, two glowing orbs floated in the air.
Their color was now completely translucent, like drops of liquid gold.
Li Yunxiao opened his eyes.
His smirk returned.
“Perfect.”
Academy in Chaos – The Duel Approaches
While Li Yunxiao perfected his alchemy, the rest of the academy was in turmoil.
The duel between Li Yunxiao and Blue Xuan had become the most anticipated event of the year.
Bets were being placed.
Factions were forming.
Even some academy elders had begun paying attention.
“Li Yunxiao may have improved, but Blue Xuan is on another level.”
“Yeah! He’s ranked third on the Windcloud List. There’s no way Li Yunxiao can win!”
“I don’t know… Li Yunxiao has been full of surprises lately.”
Whispers spread like wildfire.
And deep within the Blue Family’s estate, Blue Xuan sat in deep meditation, his aura surging.
“Li Yunxiao…”
“You made a mistake challenging me.”
“In three days… I’ll make sure you regret it.”
Final Preparations – Strengthening the Body
Li Yunxiao held the two perfected pills between his fingers, rolling them over his palm.
These were no longer ordinary pills.
With their purity at maximum levels, their effects had doubled in strength.
The Essence Refining Pill would enhance his energy circulation, allowing for rapid recovery during battle.
The Explosive Qi Pill would give him a short burst of immense power, enough to overwhelm an opponent in critical moments.
Taking both at the right time could mean the difference between victory and defeat.
Li Yunxiao flicked the pills into his mouth.
The moment they dissolved, a wave of scorching heat spread through his body.
His meridians roared to life, drinking in the raw energy like a dry desert absorbing rain.
His aura flared, the very air around him distorting under the intensity of his power.
“This…”
His breath slowed, his heartbeat steadying as his body adjusted to the surge of energy.
He clenched his fists.
He could feel it—
His power was now beyond anything he had before.
“Blue Xuan…”
“You’re not ready for me.”
The Clock Ticks Down
Three days left.
The academy held its breath, waiting.
Li Yunxiao calmly refined his strength, knowing exactly what he needed to do.
And Blue Xuan?
He was sharpening his blade, eager to cut down the rising threat that had dared to challenge him.
Neither would back down.
And when the time came…
Only one would stand victorious.
