The cheers in the arena were even louder than thunder, as if billions of crows were calling out together.
At this moment, the billions of crows seemed to have been slapped to death, and the whole world suddenly fell silent.
Ye Qian felt as if he'd been slapped hard across the face. He looked at Long Chen, then at the terrifying Dan Thunder above the void.
"This is impossible!"
Ye Qian couldn't help but shout. The pill thunder wasn't his, but Long Chen's. He simply couldn't believe this outcome.
Long Chen had always acted ordinary. How could such a terrifying Dan Lei possibly be his?
"You don't believe me?" Let me explain: your tribulation has already been shattered by five-colored lightning, and now it has nothing to do with you.
Didn't you see that the Eye of Thunder Tribulation is already aimed at me? Long Chen pointed to the sky, and in the middle of five massive thunder vortexes, a Thunder Tribulation Eye resembling an eye appeared.
The energy of the five-colored tribulation thunder slowly poured into the Eye of the Thunder Tribulation. Beneath the Eye of the Tribulation, a thunderous sword extended, its tip pointing directly at Long Chen.
"This... How is that possible? For
a moment, everyone was stunned. This terrifying thunder actually belonged to Long Chen. The people of the Divine Pill Hall, from bottom to top, all showed expressions of disbelief.
Only Lord Dan kept staring at the five-colored tribulation lightning above the void, a thoughtful look in his eyes, as if pondering something.
"If you don't dodge now, I won't care if you get struck by lightning. It's fine if you die, but the bet you promised me should be given to me first. If you think you won't die, you can also make a will to explain the situation." Long Chen looked at Ye Qian, who was visibly shocked.
"Rumble..."
Suddenly, above the void, the Eye of Thunder Tribulation trembled, and a five-colored thunder sword shot toward Long Chen.
The Thunder Sword slashed down, the void roaring and exploding, shaking the heavens and earth and causing myriad paths to roar. Although the Thunder Sword was aimed at Long Chen, all the powerful warriors present felt a sharp pain in their souls.
"Boom!"
The Thunder Sword slashed down, covering Long Chen and his pill furnace together. The five-colored thunder sword shattered, turning into a massive torrent that surged wildly toward the eight directions.
At the very moment the Thunder Sword shattered, Ye Qian finally gritted his teeth and dashed out, but he was a step too late and was sent flying by the five-colored thunder.
His entire body was engulfed in blood-red flames, but he could not withstand the multicolored thunder. Although he was thrown out, his face was pale and blood still oozing from the corner of his mouth, clearly injured.
Ye Qian didn't care about his injuries at all. What made his face pale wasn't because of the injury, but because he had lost.
Dan Lei is the best way to verify the grade of pills, and it's also the fairest, most just, and non-fraudulent method.
His pill thunder was actually shattered by Long Chen's pill lightning. In front of Long Chen's pill lightning, his pill lightning was kicked away like trash, which was a huge blow to him.
Ye Qian flew out. The master of the Divine Pill Hall patted Ye Qian on the shoulder and transmitted his voice, "Don't be afraid. Such a terrifying heavenly tribulation—Long Chen might not be able to survive it. If he fails, in the end, you will still win." The
Hall Master's words were clearly a cheating. If Long Chen's pills were ultimately destroyed by the tribulation, he wouldn't even be able to produce a single pill, which would mean he still lost.
Although he said that, Ye Qian had his pride. He couldn't accept this kind of stubbornly stubborn victory. At this moment, his face was extremely grim, and his eyes were fixed tightly on Long Chen.
When the five-colored thunder sword fell, the stars on the Moon Molten Star Refining Furnace lit up, absorbing the power of the five-colored pill thunder. At this moment, it became even more holy, with divine might flowing and radiating grandeur.
"Boom!"
Another five-colored thunder sword struck down, its power doubling compared to the previous strike. The faces of the powerful warriors present all changed.
Such a terrifying thunder sword, carrying endless heavenly might and full of destructive will, would wipe out even a third-step Tongming Realm expert with a single strike.
The disciples of the Divine Clan, who had been shouting earlier, all fell silent, unable to utter a single word. Not to mention Long Chen's alchemy skills, even this overwhelming dominance—letting the terrifying thunder strike his body without even bothering to resist—was truly impressive.
To others, the terrifying heavenly tribulation that could be wiped out in one blow was ignored by Long Chen, seemingly unaffected.
"Boom boom boom... The
power of thunder grew stronger and stronger. The thunder sword grew from hundreds of zhang in size at first to thousands of miles in size.
Each strike carried the force of thunder, and the destructive force within it changed the color of heaven and earth. In the face of the power of the Heavenly Dao, human strength seemed so insignificant.
But no matter how the thunder power changed, Long Chen remained indifferent, quietly bathing in the thunder's power, as if waiting for something.
The Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace before Long Chen grew brighter and brighter, and the stars on top of the furnace spun faster and faster. Finally, there was a trace of movement inside the furnace, as if something had awakened, and a vast aura slowly rose.
"This aura... People
were shocked. This was the aura of a pill. After all this time, Long Chen's pill had only just taken shape?
"What's going on?" An elder from the Divine Pill Hall said in disbelief. This overturned their basic alchemy knowledge. Normally, the pill should have been formed long ago, so why was it only emitting an aura at this moment?
Everyone looked at the Pill Master, who finally spoke: "This is another refining method, contrary to all our methods. The most important thing about the Hundred Paths Harmonious Spirit Pill is actually the word 'fusion.'
Our Divine Pill Hall has seventeen methods for refining it, but there is one method that, because no one has ever succeeded, was shelved and gradually forgotten.
So, in our Shendan Hall's records, there are only sixteen types. This seventeenth is in the abandoned warehouse at the very bottom of the Sutra Pavilion, where I happened to see it.
At the time, I thought this theory was too absurd and not feasible, and thought it was just a fanciful conceptual theory from a certain predecessor, unusable for practical use. But today, Long Chen has opened our eyes. "
What kind of method is this?" Even the Hall Master of the Divine Pill Hall couldn't hold back.
The Lord of Pills replied, "The ancient records state that our current refining of the Hundred Paths Harmonious Spirit Pill is actually a simplified method after a shortcut."
During the Spirit Fusion stage, one directly draws the power of the Heavenly Dao to condense its spirituality. The Heavenly Dao covers all paths, so during the Spirit Fusion stage, only a part of the Heavenly Dao is extracted.
Moreover, this part is not under our control. As for which Dao method is extracted, it all depends on the timing of the Heavenly Dao's operation.
Therefore, the quality of the Hundred Paths Harmonious Melody Fusion Pill is influenced not only by the strength of the refiner, but also by the changes in the Heavenly Dao. The supreme pill Qian'er refined is of very good quality.
However, this kind of pill mostly relies on luck, because no one can grasp the movement of the Heavenly Dao. If luck is good, the pill's quality is good; if luck is bad, the pill's quality is poor. "
What about Long Chen?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
"Long Chen's method is exactly what our ancient texts mentioned—relying entirely on personal strength, not on luck. Every Heavenly Dao he pursues is self-discovered." The Lord of the Pill looked at the endless thunder in the distance and sighed.
"How is this possible? Isn't the Heavenly Dao impossible to capture? Not even a god would be allowed. Everyone was shocked; the Heavenly Dao cannot catch on; that is common sense.
Although there are sects like Tianji Island that calculate fate secrets, these sects can only estimate a few trajectories and then deduce which ones are more likely.
Moreover, this Heavenly Secret is actually a form of human Dao, not purely Heavenly Dao. For true experts, it cannot be deduced. Anything involving the Heavenly Dao is incomprehensible. From ancient times to the present, no one has truly comprehended the Heavenly Dao.
"This question, perhaps only Long Chen himself knows. I only know that out of his hundred paths, he should have captured only ninety-nine, and the last one was gathered into the path of destruction within the thunder, which happens to make a hundred. That's why too." The Lord of the Pill shook his head.
Hearing the pill master's explanation, everyone's hearts raced. Who is the pill master? That was the true number one figure in the Divine Pill Hall, the supreme existence, yet he couldn't even understand it.
But the Lord of the Pill explained that since Long Chen had revealed his final path of destruction, which was drawn from heavenly thunder, he was absolutely confident.
But can the path of destruction really be integrated into pills? The path of destruction in the heavenly tribulation is meant to annihilate pills; how could it possibly be contained within the pills? Isn't this contradictory?
Besides, if the pill is integrated into the path of destruction, can it still be eaten? Eat it as poison? There are many ways to seek death; there's no need to make it so complicated, right?
None of them understood. Perhaps the Pill Master did, but at this moment, the Pill Master did not speak again. Instead, he quietly watched Long Chen, clearly not wanting anyone to disturb him, so the others could only remain silent.
For a moment, everyone in the hall fell silent, quietly watching Long Chen's side. Thunder swords slashed down one after another in the void, the earth trembled, and the aura of pills inside the Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace grew increasingly intense.
But soon, the Hall Master's expression changed, because the blue bricks on the square and the runes had begun to dim, and the five-colored thunder was rapidly consuming the array's energy.
"Don't worry." Just as the Hall Master of the Divine Pill Hall was about to speak, the Master waved his hand.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the lid of the Moon Melting Star Refining Furnace in front of Long Chen began to slowly open, releasing a strange wave of energy. The hearts of the powerful warriors present pounded wildly, because within that fluctuation, they seemed to sense their own aura.
"What's going on?" Everyone was shocked.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, the furnace opened, and a fist-sized pill appeared in the void. As soon as the pill appeared, the void roared and exploded, and five thunder vortexes collided rapidly, forming a massive vortex.
As soon as that super vortex formed, the entire world trembled violently, followed by endless bolts of thunder, shooting down like a violent storm toward the pill.
