Eternal Holy Emperor
Chapter 1737 - 1554: Pill Tribulation
The fusion of medicine liquid can be said to be a crucial step in the alchemy process. Only by passing this step can one truly qualify for pill formation.
Moreover, the fusion of medicine liquid requires a degree of control that is extremely stringent. Any slight deviation could destroy the pill, and all previous efforts would be in vain.
It is precisely because of this that this step is extremely critical, and Ye Chen dares not be careless.
Because the time needed to refine the God King Pill is too long, if any errors occur during the process, Ye Chen would find it difficult to refine another God King Pill within the remaining time.
Boom——
At the same time, a vast and unparalleled Divine Soul Power suddenly bloomed from his brow, thoroughly engulfing every corner of the Pill Ding, and his control over the small Pill Ding reached an unprecedented level of mastery.
This was due to the countless times he had used the small Pill Ding to refine medicine in recent days, becoming increasingly familiar with its hidden functions.
Although this is the seventh rank first pill God King Pill, fortunately, with the help of the small Pill Ding, Ye Chen can effectively perform the drug fusion.
Even though the fusion process was incredibly slow, who would dare to hasten the process at such a critical moment? Not just him, but even Dan Xian and those Alchemy Masters would not dare to accelerate, fearing that any increase in speed would lead to unexpected changes.
After all, everything must be based on stability as the primary premise.
Time continued to pass, and soon the fourth day arrived. As the first ray of dawn appeared, someone had already refined a seventh-stage intermediate pill. At the moment the Pill Light erupted, it surpassed all previous Pill Lights, attracting a lot of attention.
Previously, only seventh-rank early-stage pills had been successfully refined. Now, this was a true seventh-stage intermediate pill.
However, even so, it did not attract much attention from those Alchemy Masters or grandmaster-level figures, because they all closed their eyes, resting, or perhaps waiting for a truly heavyweight Treasure Pill to appear.
Meanwhile, anticipation grew, for with a seventh-stage intermediate Treasure Pill refined, could a seventh-order high-level Treasure Pill be far behind?
Ye Chen did not pay attention to the changes outside. His gaze was fixed firmly on that small group of medicine liquid within the Chaos Tripod’s small Pill Ding.
Although it was called medicine liquid, it was actually about the size of a human head, a product of various medicine liquids merging, radiating a rainbow of colors. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Of course, it was not yet the true God King Pill. At the moment, it was still just the embryo of an embryo of the pill.
Or perhaps not even an embryo, but at least the most crucial step had been completed. Next, as long as Ye Chen could successfully compress and condense this God King Pill, it would be enough.
However, before condensing the pill, Ye Chen needed to use the Chaos Dao Fire to refine away some impurities to ensure the God King Pill could perfectly form.
Soon, it was noon on the fifth day, the final day, and it was about to end completely.
At this moment, the heavens suddenly roared.
Massive amounts of nature’s spiritual energy were rapidly converging, forming a gigantic spiritual energy tornado, spiraling like a funnel, crashing down from the sky directly into the central Pill Ding on the Heaven Suppressing Platform.
This Ding was Ximen Dao’s Pill Ding. He, with his silver hair draped over his shoulders, was a charming young man from the Cangyu of the Ancient Universe, who had already stepped into the Great Power Realm.
In cultivation, he was extraordinary, and in alchemy, he had astonishing mastery.
At this moment, vast fluctuations were manifesting, shaking the void, as torrents of nature’s spiritual energy continuously surged backward, creating a stunning scene that drew everyone’s attention.
"Nature’s energy flowing backward, heaven and earth turning tides, is this the extraordinary aspect of a seventh-order high-level pill?"
Many people marveled, for once it reached the seventh-order high-level, the phenomenon displayed was astonishing, just like the scene before them.
Before the Pill Ding, Ximen Dao was drenched in sweat, nervously watching everything, throwing strands of Dao Fire into it, fueling the burning, causing the pill within the Ding to rapidly form.
From his brow, a dazzling light exploded, and his immense Divine Soul Power poured in, terrifying to behold. Such terrifying Divine Soul Power at such a young age far exceeded ordinary people, destined to likely step into the Master Realm, at least with the potential to reach the Grandmaster Realm, an uncommon talent.
Boom——
Finally, with a light shout from Ximen Dao, the Pill Ding suddenly shook, the lid soared into the sky, and a brilliant Divine Light Column shot up, erupting forth, unmistakably the Pill Light.
Yet this Pill Light was far more intense than any other Pill Light, like a radiant sun, completely outshining the others, astonishing all.
Simultaneously, thunder rumbled, and massive patches of black tribulation clouds emerged, astounding everyone.
Tribulation clouds represented pill tribulation, a phenomenon generally seen only with eighth-rank pills. Could it be that the pill Ximen Dao refined was powerful enough to rival eighth-rank pills?
The world watched intently!
However, the tribulation clouds enveloped overhead soon dissipated slowly, and no pill tribulation descended, disappointing many people.
To refine an eighth-rank pill would truly be defying the heavens, on par with a master, but even so, producing a seventh-order high-level pill and conjuring tribulation clouds is sufficient to prove everything.
As seen in the pill floating within Ximen Dao’s pill ding, it is perfectly round and natural, without a single blemish. At a glance, it is clear that it is the finest seventh-order high-level pill.
Many people revealed a fiery glow in their eyes, feeling envious.
Boom——
Soon after, a dazzling light of tribulation emerged from Zhang Feiyang’s pill ding too, not much inferior to Ximen Dao’s, and it also called forth a piece of tribulation cloud.
In the end, however, it still dissipated slowly.
It was evident that the pill Zhang Feiyang refined was not inferior to Ximen Dao’s, both reaching the level of seventh-order high-level pills.
Two consecutive seventh-order high-level pills appeared, emerging from two leading figures in Alchemy, both considered hot contenders for the championship, now nearly everyone turned their gaze towards Dan Xian.
If the Resurrection Pill he refines is of slightly inferior quality, he might find it difficult to win; but if he refines it at the finest level, possessing the Resurrection Pill, Dan Xian will undoubtedly secure victory.
Yet, some people also turned their gaze towards the always silent and motionless Combat Saint King, who appeared to have won the pill formula for the Seventh Rank First Pill God King Pill. If he manages to refine it, he might truly be the champion.
But many shook their heads; indeed, in the domain of cultivation, such a freak, yet so outstanding in alchemy as well, appears highly unrealistic.
The sunset gradually descended, and at this moment, Dan Xian, situated at the center of the Heaven Suppressing Platform, suddenly opened his eyes with a thundering shout: "Solidify!"
Rumble——
An even more vast and majestic nature’s spiritual energy rapidly reversed in flow, appearing even more astonishing than Ximen Dao’s and Zhang Feiyang’s anomalies.
Boom——
At this time, the heavens rumbled, unveiling dreadful tribulation clouds, indeed a pill tribulation, turning faces pale.
The descent of a pill tribulation signifies the extraordinary nature of the pill; typically, only eighth-rank pills can provoke such an occurrence. Could it be that Dan Xian is refining not the Resurrection Pill, but rather an eighth-rank pill?
Nobody knew, but a tribulation cloud spanning tens of thousands of miles appeared, enveloping the Heavenly Universe, with bolts of massive tribulation lightning surging and weaving within, as if True Dragons were roaring and screeching, shaking the heavens, tearing Cangyu, vastly intimidating.
Everyone looked on in shock at this scene, including those calm and composed alchemy masters and even grandmasters; they couldn’t help but nod.
The ability to refine a pill provoking tribulation clouds represents a true mastery for an Alchemist.
Such powerful tribulation clouds, even more so.
Dan Xian was equally fortunate, forcefully slapping the pill ding with his palm, from which a brilliant pillar of pill light surged upward, appearing vast, yet like an abyss, engulfing and devouring spiritual energy from all directions.
Then, with a bang, the pill light multiplied manifold in brightness, like a dazzling great sun, capturing the attention of the world.
Simultaneously, the tribulation clouds overhead quickly condensed further, accompanied by dense, vast thunder might, ultimately bringing down nine massive tribulation thunders that descended sharply, directly crashing onto the pill bursting with luminous light.
"Humph!"
Dan Xian snorted coldly, unwilling to allow the pill he painstakingly refined to be destroyed by tribulation thunder. With a sweep of his sleeve, accompanied by impressive Daoism equivalent to the Great Power Realm, he flicked it upward, colliding fiercely with the nine tribulation thunders, exploding a vast brilliance, remarkably radiant, notably striking.
Yet, all nine tribulation thunders were completely blocked.
Naturally, this was merely the beginning, for the tribulation clouds hadn’t dissipated. Instead, with time passing, they appeared even more dreadful, with more tribulation thunders relentlessly descending, creating terrifying phenomena.
From the initial nine tribulation thunders, it became eighteen, twenty-seven, thirty-six...
Eventually, it reached a full seventy-two tribulation thunders, by this point, each bolt was far more terrifying than earlier, inducing a hint of shock in the Great Power, beyond what a Heavenly King could easily withstand.
Eighty-one tribulation thunders crashed down, turning everything to dust, directly striking upon the pill ding, causing it to crack with numerous fissures. Dan Xian’s expression changed as he abruptly surged forward, sweeping his sleeve to unleash a vast wave, continuously deflecting these tribulation thunders, safeguarding the pill.
He was among the outstanding prodigies of the Pill Emperor Clan in this generation, clearly a Young Supreme, and possessed various secret treasures bestowed by elders, invariably formidable.
Ultimately, he managed to block all the tribulation thunders, although such an extensive bombardment left him somewhat disheveled, with traces of blood seeping from his mouth.
Nonetheless, the final result was undeniably delightful, for the Resurrection Pill had been refined successfully. Observing this flawless, translucent Resurrection Pill, it stood as the finest Treasure Pill, aside from the God King Pill, regarded as one of the top-tier seventh-rank pills, withstanding the scrutiny of a pill tribulation, not inferior to an eighth-order basic-level pill, thus evident.
