"Four-Colored Pill Lightning! You Little Fellow are truly formidable. I, Tian He, am impressed. I originally intended to conserve some strength, but since things are like this, I will go all out."
The flame inside Venerable Tian He's Medicine Cauldron grew even larger. Venerable Tian He injected his Soul Power into the Medicine Cauldron, and then took out a special fruit and threw it inside.
"Is that a Spirit Elevation Fruit? Its function is to enhance the spirituality of an Eighth Grade Pill when added during the pill formation process. Does Tian He really need to be this serious?" Xuan Kongzi shook his head. He hadn't expected Venerable Tian He to compete fiercely with a Little Fellow.
After about fifteen minutes, Venerable Tian He's Medicine Cauldron also emitted a massive pillar of light. The light pillar shot straight into the sky, instantly drawing out the Pill Lightning.
Azure, silver, red, and gold four-colored thunder clouds quickly appeared. This wasn't the end; the thunder clouds in the sky were still churning!
A moment later, the clouds surged, and a wisp of purple light, like the divine radiance piercing the vastness, quietly penetrated the clouds, dyeing a section of the thunder cloud a light purple color!
As soon as the purple appeared, the thunder cloud immediately transformed into the five-colored pill lightning!
Azure, silver, red, gold, purple—five-colored pill lightning!
Unlike Xiao Li's four-colored Pill Lightning, where his golden Pill Lightning was slightly smaller than the other three colors, Venerable Tian He's five-colored pill lightning were all equally massive, covering the sky and completely overshadowing Xiao Li's Pill Lightning!
*Whoosh!!!*
The originally silent plaza completely erupted in this instant. Countless people flushed with excitement, and deafening cheers resounded, causing the entire Holy Pill City to tremble subtly under the sound waves.
five-colored pill lightning was an existence close to legend; whoever produced it would be treated as an honored guest regardless of which faction they joined.
At this point, the appearance of the five-colored pill lightning essentially declared that the champion of this Pill Gathering belonged to Venerable Tian He!
Chi Xiaozi, who had been watching for a long time on the side, was too stunned to speak. He felt that his two-colored Pill Lightning was somewhat embarrassing.
Chi Xiaozi then looked at Xiao Li, who was lying on the stone platform, and shouted, "Hey, Little Friend, the Pill Gathering isn't over yet! It only ends after you receive the Pill Lightning and protect your Elixir!"
"Little Friend, do you need my help in dealing with this Pill Lightning?"
Chi Xiaozi certainly did not want such an excellent Alchemist to fail because of the Pill Lightning.
Xiao Li struggled to get up and cupped his fist towards Chi Xiaozi: "Thank you for the Senior's kindness, Junior has his own methods!"
"That's right, this fellow has a Dou Zun-level Puppet. Why am I worried about him?" A participant at the Dou Zong level suddenly realized something.
The next moment, a gold and silver figure appeared beside Xiao Li. The gold and silver figure instantly shot toward the sky, meeting the four-colored Pill Lightning above!
*Rumble—*
The gold and silver Earth Demon Puppet directly charged into the Pill Lightning. There was no scene of the Puppet breaking apart; instead, the gold and silver Puppet was absorbing the lightning power of the Pill Lightning!
"Ah? It can do that?"
Many people were stunned. What kind of Puppet was this? Could it really be used this way?
"Oh? A Puppet capable of absorbing the power of lightning? I saw one in an ancient ruin back then, but unfortunately, I didn't obtain it; someone else destroyed it. I recall that Mang Tianchi also seemed to have visited that ruin.
Could this be something he gave this Little Fellow?" Xuan Yi pondered.
*Boom!!*
The brilliant lightning, like a giant Dragon roaring across the sky, raged and danced in the heavens. It then brought forth dazzling thunderbolts that swept down overwhelmingly, finally striking the body of the Earth Demon Puppet in mid-air.
Countless bolts of lightning entered the Earth Demon Puppet's body like small snakes. The Earth Demon Puppet's body was being reinforced at an extremely fast pace!
The gold color on the Earth Demon Puppet increased, and it was about to transform into a Heavenly Demon Puppet. Just as the Earth Demon Puppet absorbed the Pill Lightning, several surrounding Pill Clouds were also drawn toward the Earth Demon Puppet.
Chi Xiaozi, who had already received several bolts of Pill Lightning, suddenly found his Pill Lightning moving away. Venerable Tian He, who was preparing to confront his Pill Lightning head-on, also found his Pill Lightning being drawn toward Xiao Li.
"Little Friend, are you really alright? The Pill Lightning is converging!" Chi Xiaozi said uneasily, looking at the several Pill Lightnings that showed a tendency toward Fusion.
"It should be fine. My Puppet should be able to withstand it!" Xiao Li sat on the stone platform, watching the scene in the sky.
"The Pill Lightning is actually being mutually attracted and gathering together. The power will surge again. Do we need to intervene? Under these circumstances, our intervention would not be inappropriate." Xuan Kongzi said, stating that this matter had exceeded expectations.
Xuan Yi frowned: "Why don't we wait? I think that Puppet seems fine."
*Rumble!*
As the thunder clouds condensed, the energy in this region suddenly became violently turbulent, and terrifying thunderous might permeated the world.
*Boom boom boom boom boom!*
Terrifying colorful lightning struck the Earth Demon Puppet's body, and a series of crisp metallic clanging sounds echoed across the sky.
This kind of violent lightning struck for a full half hour, and some of the audience present could not endure such ferocious thunder.
As time passed, the oppressive dark sky gradually dispersed, and the figure in the sky had completely transformed into gold.
"Success! Heavenly Demon Puppet!"
Xiao Li summoned the Heavenly Demon Puppet back and examined it carefully from top to bottom. It was entirely gold. Xiao Li took out the tian lie Sword and fiercely slashed the Puppet's body.
*Clang—*
The impact made Xiao Li's hand hurt, yet there wasn't even a white mark!
"Let me try!" Venerable Tian He had already arrived beside Xiao Li and fiercely punched the Heavenly Demon Puppet's body!
The Heavenly Demon Puppet remained completely still.
"What astonishing defensive power! Judging by its Aura, this Puppet is probably equivalent to a Five-Star Dou Zun." Venerable Tian He said in surprise.
As Venerable Tian He finished speaking, the oppressive thunder clouds above the sky completely dispersed, and warm sunlight once again poured down from above.
The gaze of the entire audience suddenly and unanimously turned toward the high platform where the Pill Tower President Xuan Kongzi was located. Now, the Pill Gathering had thoroughly concluded, and it was time to announce the final results.
Xuan Kongzi smiled slightly and stood up: "The Pill Lightning has dispersed. I won't waste any more words. All participants, please take out your Elixirs!"
The last four people on the stone platform took out their Elixirs. Four perfectly round Elixirs floated in mid-air.
One Peak seventh-grade Elixir and three Eighth Grade Pills! The light of that Peak seventh-grade Elixir was completely overshadowed by the three Eighth Grade Pills.
On Chi Xiaozi's Elixir, a faint spiritual mist condensed into a delicate kitten.
Above Xiao Li's Elixir, a dormant leopard condensed. The leopard crouched there, constantly vigilant of its surroundings.
Venerable Tian He's Elixir condensed into an extremely mighty tiger. The tiger sat there, as if it were the sole ruler of this world!
Xuan Kongzi smiled: "The Elixir is honored by its spirit. Now, the most esteemed Elixir of this Pill Gathering has been born, and its owner is the final champion of this Pill Gathering. He is Venerable Tian He, Jiang Tian He!"
Immediately after Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, deafening cheers resounded through the sky!
"Alas, Elder Jiang, you won this time. When this fellow Cultivates for a few more years, I will come back to seek guidance from you!" Xiao Li said, cupping his fist toward Venerable Tian He.
"Heh, you Little Fellow, your Alchemy will probably be even more outrageous in a few years. What? Are you planning to bully this old man?" Venerable Tian He said speechlessly. This fellow was clearly the type to hold a grudge.
Although Venerable Tian He became the champion of this Pill Gathering, Xiao Li, as the runner-up, was not forgotten. He was someone who had refined an Eighth Grade Pill with four-colored Pill Lightning using only Dou Huang Cultivation—his future was limitless! Many factions were already considering recruiting him.
High above the plaza, within the Void Realm, "The Little Fellow did quite well. An Eighth Grade Pill with four colors. Even I probably couldn't have done that at his age back then, could I?"
The aged voice within the Void Realm muttered to itself.
