"Rumble rumble rumble... The
nine heavens gathered with tribulation clouds. Amidst endless tribulation thunder, Lei Ling'er transformed into a thunder dragon stretching thousands of miles, wandering through the tribulation, frantically absorbing the tribulation's power.
Beneath the Ninth Heaven, a bronze cauldron trembled, endless divine radiance flowing. Even under the might of heaven, it still appeared sacred and inviolable.
As it spun, the divine thunders of all the heavens seemed extremely wary of it. The divine patterns on the bronze cauldron flowed, merging with the myriad paths and triggering endless heavenly tribulations.
This was already Lei Ling'er's thirty-sixth Saint Pill Tribulation. At first, she couldn't withstand this terrifying heavenly tribulation and would be shattered in an instant.
But now, she could barely withstand several attacks, and with each attack, she could absorb more tribulation power, causing her aura to surge dramatically.
Lei Ling'er now was even more terrifying than Huo Ling'er, because the aura of a Saint had already appeared on her, all the power granted to her by the Saint Pill Tribulation.
"Boom!"
Finally, Lei Ling'er couldn't withstand it anymore. With a crash, she shattered into endless thunder symbols, firmly locking the thunder power invading her body and bringing it into the chaotic space to slowly absorb it.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the Qiankun Cauldron glowed, and the tribulation clouds exploded with a roar. The tribulation ended, and at this moment, the cauldron's divine might was boundless. The thunder of the heavens was nothing more than its tool for alchemy—summoned at will, wiped away at will.
The Qiankun Cauldron moved into the chaotic space, and nine supreme Saint Pills came into Long Chen's view. This was already the thirty-sixth batch of Sacred Light Snow Lotus Pills, and after finishing this batch, the Sacred Light Stamen in Long Chen's hand was temporarily exhausted.
But it didn't matter. Long Chen still had quite a few corpses in hand, especially those five Saint corpses that hadn't been refined yet, and the massive Ten Thousand Dragon Nest hadn't been absorbed yet. It wouldn't be long before Long Chen could gather another large batch of Sacred Light Stamens.
"Thank you for your hard work, Senior."
Looking at the large pile of Holy Light Snow Lotus Pills before him—over three hundred pills—Long Chen said excitedly.
"You've worked hard. By refining these Holy Light Snow Lotus Pills, I awakened seven of my origin runes. Thank you so much." Qiankun Cauldron said.
After refining thirty-six batches of Holy Light Snow Lotus Pills in succession, Long Chen never rested, constantly using pills to withstand the load, greatly depleting his soul power.
Through this pill refining, the sound of the Qiankun Cauldron grew deeper. Its power grew stronger and stronger, faintly showing the might of dominating heaven and earth. The divine might of the ten great chaotic artifacts finally appeared just the tip of the iceberg.
Not to mention anything else, just that terrifying Sacred Pill Tribulation alone in front of it was as obedient as a rabbit, showing just how formidable it was.
Most importantly, this was just the tip of the iceberg of its power. If it fully recovered, no one would know just how terrifying its power truly was.
With such a terrifying divine weapon at his side, Long Chen immediately felt a strong sense of security. Refining the Holy Light Snow Lotus Pill was a tremendous opportunity for both Long Chen and the Qiankun Cauldron.
As for Lei Ling'er, she was even fattened in one bite. Now that she had mastered the power of the Sacred Thunder, her strength made even Long Chen feel his heart race.
After finishing the pill refining, the second wave of Sacred Light Stamens had not yet grown. The Qiankun Cauldron returned to Long Chen's soul space to begin digesting the harvest.
Long Chen continued to take pills to improve. After half a month, he had consumed all three hundred Holy Light Snow Lotus Pills, and his cultivation directly broke through to the peak of the Ninth Heaven of the Realm King.
At this pace, Long Chen was just one step away from advancing to the Divine Lord Realm. But he was practicing the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique, and there were still three more heavens to break through.
And the Third Heaven is the hardest and most consuming. According to Long Chen's estimate, breaking through to the peak of the Twelfth Heaven requires at least thirty thousand Holy Light Snow Lotus Pills.
But this was already very good. Without the Qiankun Cauldron, Long Chen would have eaten billions of pills just by eating the Realm King Pills to advance on his own. The piles would be enough to form a mountain, and Long Chen would cough up blood from eating them.
After breaking through to the Ninth Heaven, what made Long Chen feel a bit disappointed was that he still hadn't awakened the Eight-Star pill formula. He started to feel uneasy, wondering if it was because he had changed the route of the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique, which had prevented him from awakening the formula.
Long Chen could only comfort himself, thinking that perhaps once he broke through to the Divine Sovereign Realm, he might be able to awaken the pill formula.
After finishing the pills, Long Chen left the seclusion, while the Dragonblood Legion warriors had already come out of seclusion.
Like Long Chen, they had all broken through to the Ninth Heaven of the Realm King. However, because their progress was so fast, their auras began to become somewhat frail. They needed time to settle down, and in this state, they couldn't break through the Divine Lord barrier; otherwise, during the tribulation, they would become extremely dangerous.
After a rare few days of relaxation, except for Xia Chen and Guo Ran who were still busy, the rest of the Dragon Blood warriors had already started dispersing to explore the Xuanling Realm.
After the transformation of the Sacred Tree, the entire Xuanling Realm became a fairyland. With no enemies, this place became a pure land. Here, it felt even more relaxed and safe than at Lingxiao Academy.
Long Chen, rarely free, went out with Bai Shishi and Yu Qingxuan. The two girls smiled brightly, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.
"Quiet days are wonderful. How wonderful it would be if every day could be like this."
In front of a waterfall, mist filled the air. Under the sunlight, it reflected a rainbow spanning two mountains. Yu Qingxuan gazed at the beautiful rainbow, her eyes filled with happiness, and couldn't help but sigh.
She is a woman who is easily satisfied; she dislikes conflicts and complicated worldly affairs. She prefers a simple and quiet life.
In front of the waterfall, the three sat cross-legged, admiring the beautiful scenery. Hearing Yu Qingxuan's words, Bai Shishi shook her head and said, "
We can't covet such a life. This world isn't actually beautiful. The reason we can see a beautiful world is because someone used their bodies to shield the darkness behind us and keep the light for us."
Long Chen's heart raced wildly. He looked at Bai Shishi, his face filled with shock. He hadn't expected Bai Shishi to say something so profound and philosophical.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Bai Shishi said angrily, Long Chen's gaze was a bit annoying.
"You've grown up." Long Chen said seriously.
"Get lost!"
Bai Shishi's pretty face flushed red, and she couldn't help but snap. It was supposed to be a compliment, and Long Chen looked serious enough, but now his eyes were fixed on her chest, which instantly changed the tone.
"Stop messing around, Long Chen. Let me tell you something. I've been a bit nervous these past two days, and I think I can feel it..." Yu Qingxuan's expression grew serious, and when she mentioned it, a trace of fear appeared in her eyes.
"Who?"
Long Chen was taken aback.
"Underworld Emperor."
When Yu Qingxuan uttered these two words, Long Chen's expression changed, and he suddenly stood up from the ground.
