Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-998

Nora Alstreim knew that Logan was also an Elder Soul Stage Cultivator, just like how Alchemist Davis had been just a while ago. From the battle they fought before, she knew that Logan possessed Low-Level Elder Soul Stage Cultivation, but it was also clearly greater in intensity, just like Alchemist Davis's soul force.

Although there was a clear disparity between them in their levels, she still mused that Logan had a reasonable chance of becoming able to stand alongside Alchemist Davis in terms of Soul Forging Cultivation!

However, Nora Alstreim quickly shook her head.

Things were pointed out to be already over between them. She berated herself, wondering why she was still thinking about him when he cut her off ruthlessly at that time.

A few minutes later, even before the time limit could be reached, all the participants ended up finishing their pill concoction. As expected, since they reached this round, not one of them ended up failing to concoct pills. Nevertheless, not everyone managed to create high-quality pills either.

Elder Belias Alstreim stood up from the third tier and took a step forward as he flew into the skies. He ended up floating in the middle of the stage again. However, his gaze remained on Alchemist Davis, radiating a type of respect that he had never shown to him before. Previously, he was just looking at him as if the other party was a mere yet talented subordinate, but he finally placed him in a similar position to the topmost disciples of the hegemonic powers!

No, it was even more than that!

Nevertheless, he mused that Alchemist Davis was stabilizing his Soul Forging Cultivation, so he was waiting for him to stand up.

A minute, two, three, and five minutes passed in silence.

Seeing that Alchemist Davis was still in the process of stabilizing his cultivation in meditation, he felt that it was time to explore what the other alchemists had concocted, but for that, he still had to announce the end of the final round.

"Everyone!" Elder Belias Alstreim called out, gathering the crowd's attention to himself.

And at this point, Davis opened his eyes and slowly stood up.

Elder Belias Alstreim noticed this and felt inwardly proud that his timing couldn't be anymore impeccable! He sensed the people in the spectator's seats applaud him for his timing before he smugly opened his mouth.

"Since all the participants have finished concocting the pill before the time limit, I announce that it is time to cough out the results that you all have been eagerly waiting for!"

The crowd woke up to cheer in response!

With a pleased smile, Elder Belias Alstreim approached one of the sixteen present alchemists and started inspecting the pills that the alchemist had made. In two seconds, he gave his verdict.

"This is a Hopeful Fang Pill... It gives one the edge needed to win against opponents of equal strength at the Peak-Level Law Manifestation Stage as it increases the essence energy's power by ten percent!"

"Four Crude Tier Peak-Level Sky Grade Pills! Not bad, but it is probably nowhere near to get you a place in the top ten. Now, don't ask why, because I just know!" Elder Belias Alstreim silenced the reluctant alchemist who wanted to say that he might at least have a chance.

Elder Belias Alstreim moved on to the next participant and similarly went through their pills, and then people started noticing that he was looking at the participants in the order of the ranking that they obtained in the second round.

"Silken Cloud Pill... Able to increase one's bodily defense by having the flesh secrete a substance that drastically causes an impact to be reduced by thirty percent! Four Crude Tier Peak-Level Sky Grade Pills! Your pill is better and harder to concoct the last, so you're in leading as I expected!"

"Four Crude Tier Peak-Level Sky Grade Pills!

"...!"

"...!"

"...!"

Elder Belias Alstreim suddenly possessed a flabbergasted expression on his face as he looked at the alchemist who concocted only two pills. However, what he found shocking isn't the quantity of the pill but the pill itself!

"This... This is a Joyful Bone Pill...?"

That alchemist awkwardly smiled as he chuckled, "Yes..."

"Aiya... You're daring!" Elder Belias Alstreim laughed out loud while ladies who knew what the Elegant Midnight Pill meant, blushed hard but pretended that they didn't know about it. Dalila Leehan was the same.

"Two Normal Tier Peak-Level Sky Grade Pills! Don't worry. You will definitely enter the top ten!"

"...!"

"...!"

"...!"

Elder Belias Alstreim announced the result of eleven of them before arriving before Sophie Alstreim, who took third place in the second round.

"Hand those pills over..." Elder Belias Alstreim waved his hand like a rogue.

Sophie Alstreim giggled, "Uncle, stop acting like a scoundrel... Hehe..."

She moved the lid of her cauldron before using her soul force to yank the pills out of it! Four pills flew outside first, followed by another pill. With two vials in the web between her fingers, she gracefully swiped the incoming pills, bottling them up with a smile on her face before she presented them to Elder Belias Alstreim.

It was obvious that she knew what tier pills she had concocted since she had segregated them into two vials.

"Good!" Elder Belias Alstreim reached out his hand to take the two vials, but it was suddenly taken away by Sophie Alstreim.

Her rosy lips widened, "Don't tell me you've kept the best for the last?"

As she said so, she cast a glance at Davis and subconsciously flashed him a slightly seductive smile as she was interested in him despite him possessing two wives.

"Haha, I'm not flouting the rules." Elder Belias Alstreim laughed, "Alchemist Davis took the first place in the first round, and since he did not require to take part in the second round because he is seeded, his main ranking is still first. Of course, I'm going to keep the best for the last!"

Sophie Alstreim saw that Alchemist Davis paid no heed to her, but she wasn't offended as she knew that he was now an alchemy expert who would soar in the future. This is how it should be. She promptly turned her head and gave the two vials to Elder Belias Alstreim.

"This is..." Elder Belias Alstreim's eyes lit up, "Serene Midnight Pill!"

"The Serene Midnight Pill causes the user to undergo a qualitative transformation to their mind for a long period of time. This is extremely useful in comprehending laws as it is able to keep one's mind concentrated on the laws instead of the contemporary world!"

"That's right... But that isn't its exact use as it is also used to accurately comprehend domain at the time of breaking through into the Law Dominion Stage!"

Elder Belias nodded his head before he announced the results.

"Four Normal Tier Peak-Level Sky Grade Pill and a single Advanced Tier Peak-Level Sky Grade Pill!"

"Very good! I'm confident that you'll enter the top five! You have not disappointed your grandfather!"

"I'm hoping for the second place, but..." Sophie Alstreim's voice became dull as she looked at Augustus Alstreim and Claudius Alstreim before frowning at Dalila Leehan.

As long as the pills that they've created isn't higher in difficulty, tier, quality, and quantity, she knew that she was destined to be in second place. As for the first, she obviously knew that she did not even possess a bit of chance to win against Dalila Leehan.
