However, the Fire Venerable entered the path through fire, and his mastery over flames is unmatched, especially after obtaining the Disaster Demon Fire from the Demon Tribe’s Disaster Supreme. How could an ordinary Human Level martial artist control the flames of the Demon Tribe?
Therefore, the strongest aspect of the Fire Venerable lies in the path of flames, not in the path of formations. It is understandable that he is inferior to this ancient Pill Master in the Fire Refining Great Formation.
Yet, through this Fire Refining Great Formation, Qin Chen instantly understood that this ancient Pill Master was absolutely a Venerable-level expert, as only a Venerable could arrange such a terrifying Fire Refining Great Formation.
"Ha, does this guy not know that although I have obtained the legacy of the Fire Venerable, the path of formations is also one of my greatest inheritances?"
Qin Chen smiled; his formation skills did not come from the Fire Venerable but from the legendary Sky Patch Palace, the top refining force of the ancient celestial realm.
In the realm of formations, no one would dare claim to be first if the Sky Patch Palace claimed second.
Qin Chen urged the Holy Yuan within him, and an overwhelming aura resisted the invasion of the flames. At the same time, his mental power focused completely on the surrounding stone walls, beginning to deduce the operational process of this Fire Refining Great Formation.
Lines of formation inscriptions and structures gradually became clear in Qin Chen's mind, and under the deduction of the Sky Patch techniques, they became even clearer.
Impressive!
The deeper Qin Chen delved, the more he felt the terror of the formation before him. In the world of formations, different methods and formations could converge into one, truly demonstrating that myriad paths could merge into one.
At this moment, Qin Chen was no longer conducting an examination; he was fully immersed in the study of this formation, analyzing its foundation bit by bit, clarifying the opponent's thinking process.
Other testers might only analyze this great formation to crack it, understanding its basic operational methods to activate the teleportation array within, but what Qin Chen was doing was to understand the other party's basic ideas, clarifying their formation theories from the most fundamental level.
While others might just need to know how it works, Qin Chen had to know why it works.
Of course, it couldn’t be blamed on other alchemists for their superficial understanding, because even if any formation master were to come, they wouldn’t be able to discern the array system of another formation expert through a single formation. If it were that simple, formation masters wouldn’t be so rare in this world.
Only someone like Qin Chen, who had inherited from the Sky Patch Palace, could understand the true principles of another's formations through a single array.
While Qin Chen was undergoing this formation assessment, many others also chose to enter the inheritance passage, and that Fire Demon Pill Saint and Mo Li similarly chose the same path as Qin Chen.
After all, who would be willing to only obtain a treasure when they could receive a top-level inheritance?
Some even with only a slight foundation in alchemy chose the inheritance path, naturally seeking a slim chance of success.
In a certain space, a mid-stage peak Holy Master, merely a Heavenly Saint alchemist, was drenched in cold sweat, frantically deducing the great formation before him.
However, no matter how he deduced it, he couldn’t decipher it. Finally, accompanied by the continuous enhancement of the Fire Refining Great Formation...
"Ah!"
The Holy Yuan of this mid-stage peak Holy Master couldn't withstand the terrifying power of the flames. He let out a miserable scream as his body ignited instantly, even the essence of his Holy Master origin burning fiercely, completely refined and dissipated by this Fire Refining Great Formation.
Not only that, similar scenes occurred all around; a group of martial artists who were not even alchemists but chose the inheritance path, greedy and insufficiently skilled, screamed as they turned to ashes.
