The face of the late-stage Saint Master of the Void Thief changed dramatically, and he hurriedly floated backward, activating his powers.
To prepare for the unexpected.
A buzzing sound erupted, and suddenly, points of light flickered on the walls of the stone chamber, densely covering the area. Upon a rough count, there were actually over a thousand, appearing like the eyes of fierce beasts, sending chills down one’s spine.
In the next moment, these flickering lights slightly trembled and all rushed toward the late-stage Saint Master of the Void Thief, unleashing a terrifying wave of energy fluctuations.
Buzz! Moreover, within these terrifying energy fluctuations, there even lurked strands of nauseating, dreadful poison gas, as if the stone platform had combined the spiritual medicines he had selected, instantly firing them out through the deadly array on the stone wall.
Seeing this, the late-stage Saint Master of the Void Thief immediately showed a look of grim despair on his face, and a shield rapidly appeared in front of him to block the countless energy fluctuations.
Puff, puff, puff… However, the moment these poison gas and energy fluctuations struck the shield, the shield was instantly corroded away. A top-grade holy treasure immediately emitted a foul, decaying odor, and the poison gas and energy fluctuations penetrated the shield, striking directly at the late-stage Saint Master of the Void Thief.
"What?!"
The late-stage Saint Master of the Void Thief only had time to roar before being submerged by the countless lights.
"Ah!"
A piercing scream arose. The holy essence on this late-stage Saint Master was utterly unable to withstand even a fraction of this poison gas and attack, and he rapidly succumbed to the countless poison gases. Moments later, when the endless fluctuations subsided, the late-stage Saint Master of the Void Thief had already vanished from the spot, leaving only a pool of crimson blood and shattered holy treasure fragments as proof of his existence.
Not only did this late-stage Saint Master of the Void Thief encounter misfortune, but those martial artists who had chosen the wrong herbs all triggered the restrictions in the stone chamber, being obliterated instantly, leaving no trace behind.
In another stone chamber, the Fire Demon Pill Saint, like Qin Chen, had also selected fourteen types of poisons. He could identify these poisons because he discovered that several of the spiritual medicines were from their Demon Realm, and as a master of poison himself, his understanding of poisons far exceeded that of ordinary alchemists.
However, he could only analyze fourteen types; the remaining one, like Qin Chen, he could not discern.
He stared at the herbs in front of him for a long time. Suddenly, his gaze paused on one spiritual herb, revealing a thoughtful expression. The next moment, he solemnly retrieved this spiritual herb from the groove on the stone platform and placed the fifteen types of spiritual herbs into the groove in the center of the stone platform.
Rumble! The stone platform before him instantly radiated light, disappearing to reveal a vast array, which turned out to be a teleportation array.
"Just as I thought."
A smile appeared on the Fire Demon Pill Saint's face as he exhaled deeply.
Having roamed in the Demon Realm for many years, he had immersed himself in various spiritual medicines for nearly a hundred thousand years. Furthermore, since the human race was the stronghold of alchemists, he had naturally studied many of their pills. Additionally, he was actually part of the Plant Demon Clan.
The Plant Demon Clan was a race in the Demon Realm capable of communicating with the plants of heaven and earth; otherwise, as a demon, it would have been impossible for him to become an alchemist. The talents of the Spirit Demon Clan enabled him to comprehend spiritual medicines far beyond that of ordinary alchemists.
That was why he successfully passed this second level of assessment.
Meanwhile, as the Fire Demon Pill Saint passed the second level of assessment, in another stone chamber, Mo Li was also experiencing difficulties similar to Qin Chen's.
