Chapter 198: The Old Nash’s Fatal Crisis

“How is it?” Boshe asked anxiously, his expression dark as he watched the Grand Elder of the Purple-Winged Thunder Eagles and the Second Elder of the Mi Jiao clan emerge.
“The old man is severely injured. His internal energy is in chaos, and his combat energy can’t be condensed. This time, things are really troublesome!” With a sigh, the Second Elder of the Mi Jiao clan said solemnly.
Frowning deeply as he recalled what he had observed earlier, he felt even more alarmed. What on earth was going on with those three types of energy? He had no idea.
He had come here at the invitation of the Nash family and the Grand Elder of the Purple-Winged Thunder Eagles to help the old Nash recover. Last night, after returning to his residence, the old Nash’s injuries suddenly worsened, and he nearly became another strong warrior to fall, following the Sixth Elder of the Purple-Winged Thunder Eagles.
In that battle, he was severely injured. Injuries weren’t the problem—neither the Purple-Winged Thunder Eagles nor the Nash family lacked precious medicines and other resources. What was deadly was that strange, domineering energy within his body. It was terrifying and overbearing, rampaging unchecked within the old Nash’s body, even seeming to take control. As a result, the old Nash’s combat energy couldn’t be condensed and dissipated, only to then ravage his meridians and every corner of his body.
Now, the old Nash was nothing but an ordinary person—a person lying on the chopping block, waiting for that terrifying energy to kill him. With no other choice, the Purple-Winged Thunder Eagles and the Nash family had to seek help from their allies, the Mi Jiao clan.
After all, they were members of a united front alliance, and it was difficult for the Mi Jiao clan to refuse. The Second Elder, who was still in Dark Moon City discussing important matters, was naturally brought along.
After the Second Elder of the Mi Jiao clan finished speaking, Boshe’s face turned even colder and more resentful, while the Grand Elder of the Purple-Winged Thunder Eagles wore a grave expression.
“Was it Rod who did this? Just him?” After pondering for a moment, the Second Elder of the Mi Jiao clan took a deep breath and asked.
“Yeah. What’s the situation now?” the Grand Elder of the Purple-Winged Thunder Eagles countered.
“Three types of energy are rampaging inside him. His own combat energy can’t be condensed and gets scattered. That force is extremely domineering, containing a domineering fire attribute, a dark shadow attribute, and a powerful lightning attribute! These three types of energy are intertwined, bringing the dominance of fire, the oppression of lightning, and the subtlety of darkness! It’s difficult. If that energy isn’t removed, nothing will work! In fact…” He didn’t continue. Everyone understood—many things didn’t need to be spelled out clearly.

“Impossible! How could Rod have three types of elemental energy? It’s impossible—especially since fire and darkness are inherently incompatible. With such powerful elemental energies, a character possessing all three would be terrifyingly strong. How could they coexist peacefully? Such a person would have died long ago!” Bosch widened his eyes, stunned for a moment before roaring.

No one could do such a thing, according to records. Over the millennia, only a handful of people had managed to combine two elements, and even those were few and far between. More importantly, most of them hadn’t achieved much, with only one or two exceptions. And even those practiced with two elements that could blend together.

Now, according to Elder Mi Jiao, it seemed Rod was a practitioner of three elements, with terrifying elemental energies. Not only him but even Elder Zi Yi Lei Ying frowned in disbelief.

“Hmm, that makes sense. The lightning energy must have come in after that spell was cast, while the darkness energy is likely his own. As for the fire energy, it’s Rod’s. I’ve fought him before. His elements may be strange, but it’s clear they stem from fire—ferocious and violent. There’s no doubt about it. It’s just unclear what caused these three energies to merge!” Elder Zi Yi Lei Ying muttered, frowning.

“If that’s the case, it’s still better. I’m afraid it really is Rod doing this. If he truly is a practitioner of three elements, that would be the worst possible scenario—invincible at the divine level! By then…” With a sigh, Elder Mi Jiao also knew all this, but the worry in his heart couldn’t be dispelled.

“What other options do we have?” Suddenly, everyone fell silent, the atmosphere in the small room becoming extremely oppressive. After a while, Bosch, having calmed down, asked.

“Three! One is to dissipate the energy, which can save his life, but he’ll just be an ordinary person from then on!” With a bitter smile, he shook his head and sighed helplessly.

“No, that’s absolutely unacceptable. Not only is my father a high-level divine warrior, just one step away from that realm, but he won’t agree. Our Nash family won’t agree either. Is there another option? What’s the second method?” Bosch quickly rejected the first option.

“Joke. Old Nash can be considered the pillar of the Nash family, the strongest among them. If he’s destroyed, how could the Nash family still hold its current status? One can imagine what would happen then. Besides, a warrior who has reached such a height has his dignity—even at the cost of his life, he wouldn’t be willing to lose it.”

“True. Let’s talk about the second option!” said the Grand Elder of Purple-Winged Thunder Eagle, sighing. He hadn’t expected the problem to be this serious.

“The second option is very difficult. If there’s the Dragon Yang Pill, it can save him. Perhaps even with its power, he could advance beyond the divine level and enter the Yin-Yang Mysterious Yellow realm!” A fanatical glint appeared in his eyes as the Second Elder spoke solemnly. The Dragon Yang Pill—reversing yin and yang, with dragon energy transforming the entire body, overturning yin and yang, making heaven and earth pale in comparison. It’s truly a precious treasure; it can revive anyone who still has a breath of life and even achieve a state of renewal after destruction! For those in good health, taking it can help them break through the legendary divine level barrier and possibly enter the Yin-Yang Mysterious Yellow realm at once. Who wouldn’t want that?

Upon hearing this, Boshe and the Grand Elder of Purple-Winged Thunder Eagle exchanged glances, frozen in place.

“The Dragon Yang Pill? Such a rare and precious treasure isn’t easy to obtain. It’s said there are only three of them—one in the hands of the Dragon Clan, one in the hands of the Black Phoenix Clan, both preserved for a thousand years. It’s unknown if any remain. The other is with that Meilong! All three factions are difficult to deal with, and they surely won’t hand it over. Who would be willing to give away such a treasure?” The Grand Elder of Purple-Winged Thunder Eagle said with a frown and a bitter smile.

Not to mention how rare and invaluable the Dragon Yang Pill is, even if it were an ordinary item, these two clans and that one person wouldn’t give it to them! The Dragon Clan and the Black Phoenix Clan would rather watch the show—why would enemies help them? As for that Meilong, now we know who he is. He became famous after last night.

A figure from a thousand years ago, a member of the magical beasts—no one knows what his true form is. We only know he first appeared a thousand years ago, renowned for his mid-divine level strength, with close ties to the Dragon Clan and the Black Phoenix Clan. Protected by both clans, he also held the status of a VIP at the Purple Star Exchange! He suddenly disappeared a thousand years ago, by which time he already possessed late-divine level strength.

Now, he has reappeared and has even reached the Yin-Yang Mysterious realm. He’s the strong man who appeared last night and saved Rod. How could he possibly give away the Dragon Yang Pill? It’s even possible he himself broke through the divine level barrier with its help.

“Let’s talk about the third option!” With a sigh, Boshe said with a grim face.

“Become possessed by the demon! When the will of darkness arises, one enters the path of demons! When a demonic heart takes root, demonic thoughts emerge!” Elder Mi Jiao took a deep breath, his expression serious as he lowered his voice and spoke.
“Become possessed? The will of darkness arises, and a demonic heart takes root!” Their faces turned pale in horror—they surely understood the meaning of these words, as well as their consequences and severity.
“Well, there’s no other way. That energy is extremely powerful; no one can drive it away! These are the only three options. Think about it yourselves! Becoming possessed isn’t necessarily a bad thing. If it goes well, though you lose your own consciousness, you can still be controlled by your Nash family. There’s even a high chance of reaching a state of supreme mastery. Your Nash family’s status won’t decline—it will rise even further thanks to him. Decide for yourselves!” With a sigh, Elder Mi Jiao spoke solemnly. This was a matter of great importance that required careful consideration from both of them.
Elder Zi Yi Lei Ying and Bo Shu exchanged glances, both seeing the same deep concern in each other’s eyes. Frowning, the room fell utterly silent, with only the old Nash’s pained groans coming from the inner room from time to time.
Elder Mi Jiao waited quietly for an answer. “I’ll leave first. I give you one day to think—no more than that, or he won’t hold on. If you wish, I have a meditation technique that can help. My Mi Jiao clan will surely assist! Think it over carefully!” Realizing this wouldn’t be resolved quickly, he simply left after saying that.
Bo Shu and Elder Zi Yi Lei Ying were left in silence.
“Just dissipate the energy! Becoming possessed is too evil, too dangerous!” After pondering for a long time, Elder Zi Yi Lei Ying suggested.
“Hmm, let me think! We’ll discuss it tomorrow,” Bo Shu nodded in agreement, his face weary, showing how heavy his mood was.
……
His eyelids were incredibly heavy, too heavy to open. His whole body ached, as if on fire one moment and frozen the next. The extreme contrast between heat and cold made Rod groan even in his unconscious state.
The wounds on his body itched and hurt as if thousands of ants were crawling on them, while his internal organs burned with intense heat. A cold aura flowed throughout his body. With each pass of the aura, its strength seemed to diminish slightly, but his meridians felt wider, as if strengthened by it.

In a dazed state, Rod felt a figure moving back and forth in front of him. Yet he couldn’t open his eyes to see or make any sound. He could only lie there quietly, facing the dark world, and in his mind’s sea, he recalled the severe injury he suffered when he met the Earth Bear in Iron Bar Town—this time it seemed even worse than before.
Who exactly was the one who saved him? Was it this person right in front of him? Why did they save him? Rod pondered these questions silently in his heart.
