712. Thunderclap and Elixir Completed
Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, the ninth-grade pill could no longer be suppressed and transformed into a streak of light, leaping into the air.
That was the true form of the Creation Rejuvenation Pill. At the ninth grade, it was a wondrous object, a marvel of creation. Naturally, a sliver of its own extremely immature intelligence emerged. Although its intelligence was as ignorant as a newborn infant, it possessed the basic instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm. It could sense the deadly threat posed by the destructive black thunderclouds in the sky, and vaguely perceived the countless yearning and eager gazes below. Escape became its only thought.
Seeing all this, Xiao Yan, who had been on high alert, naturally couldn't let the fruits of his hard work slip away.
"Trying to leave? Stay here!"
A fire dragon formed from purplish-red condensed flames suddenly appeared. Xiao Yan himself was a little anxious and rushed straight towards the pill with the flames. The domineering purplish-red flames twisted and expanded instantly, transforming into a lifelike, enormous fire dragon with flying scales and claws!
The pill was freshly made, and its resistance was still very weak. No matter how the light rushed left and right, stirring up ripples, it could not break through the blazing barrier made of extreme heat.
Xiao Yan reacted with lightning speed. With his left hand enveloped in the Crimson Lotus Star Flame, he precisely and powerfully grasped the radiant, grade-nine pill that emanated vast life energy.
"Such formidable power!"
Looking at the ninth-grade pill in his palm, Xiao Yan couldn't suppress his emotions and couldn't help but grin. The sense of accomplishment from successfully refining a ninth-grade pill was enough to make anyone proud.
Xiao Yan's appearance did indeed take everyone in the Yan Clan by surprise.
"What's going on? Who is he?"
"Who is he? When did our Yan Clan acquire such a talented young man? Which elder is hiding a trump card?"
"Where is Elder Huo Zhen? Wasn't this the pill he refined?"
"It's done! Xiao Yan really... really did it!" Tears welled up uncontrollably in Huo Zhi's eyes again, but this time it was pure joy and excitement!
Almost immediately, all other sounds were completely suppressed by another movement. The black demonic tribulation thunderclouds that had been swirling and gathering in the sky for a long time seemed to be completely enraged, and a destructive aura suddenly erupted!
A terrifying bolt of lightning, as black as ink, as thick as a pillar supporting the sky, and bursting with blinding light, crashed down fiercely towards the figure of the young man who possessed the ninth-grade pill and was also exposed to the heavenly tribulation of lightning!
The Black Demon Lightning Tribulation, the true Ninth-Rank Pill Tribulation, has arrived!
Xiao Yan looked up at the thunderclouds, his scalp tingling and cold sweat beading on his back. At the same time, Xiao Yan felt that he was actually locked onto by this terrifying ninth-grade pill lightning, or rather, the pill in his palm was firmly locked onto.
This is a genuine ninth-grade pill lightning tribulation; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it has the power to destroy the heavens and the earth. Even a Dou Zun-level expert would have no chance of escaping facing such a powerful thundercloud.
He didn't even dare to entertain the thought of using Heavenly Thunder Forging to withstand the pill lightning, knowing that Heavenly Thunder Forging was essentially a soul cultivation technique. It was a method summarized by senior masters, using lightning to temper oneself.
This doesn't mean he can ignore all lightning. Even if, in theory, Black Demon Lightning could be absorbed and become a medium for the hammer chain, it's not something Xiao Yan can attempt right now.
The body has its limits. Just as Xiao Yan absolutely could not absorb this ninth-grade pill, he could only dream of this level of lightning.
If he had been even slightly touched by just one or two of those things, he might have truly perished, body and soul.
Fortunately, they are currently within the Yan Clan, so Xiao Yan doesn't need to worry about dealing with this terrifying Dan Lei.
Just as Xiao Yan was trying to dodge the pill lightning, a power that had completely surpassed the Dou Zun level suddenly erupted from a certain point in the space.
boom!!!!
In that brief moment, the power had already reached Xiao Yan's head with great precision. The black demon lightning, with its earth-shattering might, crashed down solidly, but it could not break through the protection formed by the Dou Qi energy.
Xiao Yan looked up at the collision that was so close at hand, feeling the power of the confrontation, and was also very shocked: if one can completely ignore the pill lightning tribulation caused by a ninth-grade pill, then the source of this power must be a Dou Sheng level expert.
Immediately afterwards, the core of the black thundercloud in the sky seemed to be completely enraged, and even more violent lightning poured down like a torrential rain!
The power belonging to the Yan Clan's experts was not so violent and crazy; it was calm, firm, and impregnable, preventing the black demon lightning from affecting anyone below, especially Xiao Yan, who was holding the pill in the core area.
Feeling the inexhaustible protective power above their heads, both Yan Chao and Huo Zhen were completely relieved. For them, the real important thing was to refine this crucial ninth-grade pill.
As for whether it can be protected during the tribulation of lightning, there's really no need to worry about that anymore.
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Yan Clan suffered a near-annihilation and heavy losses, they were not truly wiped out. A family descended from a Dou Di (Battle Emperor) that can continue for thousands or even tens of thousands of years must possess extraordinary hidden strength. If they cannot even deal with a ninth-grade pill's Dan Lei (a type of magical attack), then the Yan Clan has truly reached its end.
Huo Zhi's bright eyes, still glistening with tears, gazed tenderly at the young man in mid-air, whose resolve remained as firm as a rock even amidst the world-destroying lightning. At this moment, Xiao Yan held the radiant ninth-grade spirit pill firmly in one hand, while endless black demonic lightning roared and exploded above his head, yet it was kept at bay by the immense power above him. At this very moment, at the very center of this world, he was undoubtedly the most dazzling protagonist!
She knew perfectly well that this precious ninth-grade pill embodied Elder Huo Zhen's painstaking efforts and energy, with Xiao Yan playing only a supporting role. She also knew, of course, that the terrifying Black Demon Lightning Tribulation was far beyond Xiao Yan's current capabilities to withstand.
However! Without Xiao Yan, this pill would never have been successfully refined. He's always like this; on the surface, his strength always seems insufficient, as if he's worlds apart from his goal, yet he always manages to turn those seemingly impossible things into reality in the most dazzling way!
Now, in Huo Zhi's heart, Xiao Yan's non-Yan Clan identity, after all that has happened, has become a highly attractive and shining point about him. The Yan Clan has a considerable number of talented young people, blessed with bloodlines and abundant resources. But looking at the bigger picture, who can truly surpass Xiao Yan in comparison?
