“G-Good! I shall trouble you then, Lady Yueli!”
Inside the courtyard of the secluded residence, Yun Tianheng swallowed hard, suppressing the shock and horror in his heart.
Not daring to lose focus for even a second, he slammed his palms against the medicine cauldron. His vast spiritual energy surged like a wild wave into the crimson spiritual fire, stabilizing the forming pill that was on the verge of solidifying.
He really had not expected that, with the help of a heaven-defying material like the Myriad Tribulations Blood-Washing Vine and a sudden burst of inspiration, he would coincidentally refine a peak Grade Eight miraculous pill that attracted a heavenly lightning tribulation!
This was his very first time refining a pill of such high quality.
If this pill succeeded, his alchemy skills would surely advance further, perhaps even approaching that of a Grade Nine Alchemist!
At this thought, he looked up at the blue-robed figure standing proudly in the air above him, his heart beating like a drum.
This was the world-destroying Nine Heavens pill lightning...
Even cultivators had to rely on various magic treasures, defensive gear, arrays, and talismans to cross their tribulations. Lady Yueli did not possess any spiritual energy and relied purely on the physical body of a mortal martial artist. Could she really withstand such majestic heavenly wrath?
In the next instant, the tribulation clouds grew violent to the extreme!
“Rumble—!!”
Accompanied by a deafening roar that tore through the sky, a bolt of purple tribulation lightning transformed into a thunderous dragon, descending directly from the depths of the dark clouds with supreme pressure!
The blazing thunder light illuminated the night sky outside the entire imperial city, turning it as bright as day!
Atop the mountain peak near the secluded residence, Han Yu's small face turned pale with fright. Her breath caught, and she covered her mouth tightly with both hands.
Standing directly beneath the lightning tribulation, Su Yueli raised her eyebrows.
She stood proudly in the void, the wind fluttering her blue dress.
Facing the purple lightning that crashed down with destructive force, Su Yueli slowly raised her right hand, spreading her fingers, and then... gently clenched her fist toward the sky!
“Scram.”
Her cold voice carried a domineering aura that reigned supreme over heaven and earth.
Boom!
In an instant, a torrent of towering blood qi erupted from her body, transforming into a crimson pillar of blood that spanned across heaven and earth!
There was only the most pure and domineering power of blood qi!
“Crack—!!”
The moment that majestic purple thunder dragon collided with this blood qi, it actually snapped in midair like a crisp cracker!
The endless thunder light could not even touch the surface of Su Yueli's body before being shattered by her violently peerless blood qi, turning into a sky full of starlight-like purple fire that dispersed into the void!
Tearing apart pill lightning with her bare hands?!
“H-How is this possible??”
Yun Tianheng, who was in front of the medicine cauldron, almost had his eyes pop out. He sucked in a cold breath, and the spiritual fire in his hands nearly went out of control!
That was pill lightning powerful enough to blast a Twelfth Realm cultivator into ashes!
Yet she had crushed it with a casual squeeze of her hand?!
However, now was not the time to relax.
The pill lightning of a peak Grade Eight pill was not just a single bolt. Before the pill was fully formed, the lightning would continue to gather, each bolt stronger than the last.
“I have to hurry...” Yun Tianheng muttered to himself.
Atop the mountain peak, Han Yu's beautiful eyes shone with brilliant light, her adoration soaring to the heavens.
This was her master's strength, the majesty of the peak of the martial path!
...
At the same time.
The Great Li Imperial City dozens of li away, as well as the surrounding top sects, had completely erupted into chaos!
Deep within the Great Li imperial palace, in front of Qinzheng Hall.
The Emperor of Great Li, wearing a nine-dragon imperial robe, stood with his hands behind his back. Gazing into the distance at the churning tribulation clouds and the scattering thunderbolts in the night sky outside the city, his thick brows furrowed deeply, a hint of doubt and shock flashing in his eyes.
“Is that... pill lightning?!”
The Emperor of Great Li raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, “What is that old fellow Yun Tianheng up to? He is only a Grade Eight Alchemist, so how could he attract a heavenly pill lightning tribulation? Could it be... he broke through to Grade Nine?!”
“Replying to Your Majesty!”
A shadow guard knelt on the ground like a ghost. “Master Yun is not in the palace today. Instead, he rented out the secluded residence outside the city! Judging by this commotion, this is definitely no ordinary Grade Eight pill being born!”
“The secluded residence outside the city? Come, accompany Us to take a look!” The Emperor of Great Li flicked his imperial robe, turning into a streak of light that shot directly out of the city.
Not only the imperial family, but all the top forces within the borders of Great Li were also completely awakened by this heavenly phenomenon!
A hundred li away, in the territory of the Blue Moon Sect.
Outside the hall of the forbidden area in the back mountain, the Sect Master of the Blue Moon Sect stood with his hand on his sword. Looking at the terrifying thunderclouds in the distant sky, his expression was filled with shock.
“Pill lightning manifesting, dragon and tiger converging... Is this a Grade Nine divine pill? No! The medicinal fragrance has not reached ten thousand li yet. It is a peak Grade Eight pill! Someone has refined a half-step divine pill that approaches Grade Nine!”
Beside him stood a young man with a face like jade and an extraordinary bearing, standing with his hands behind his back. It was none other than Shen Huai'an, the Young Sect Master of the Blue Moon Sect.
Shen Huai'an's expression condensed slightly, his eyes filled with heat and disbelief. “Master Yun has resided in the capital for many years, and I have never heard of him having such ability. Who on earth... could make him risk his life to refine such a miraculous pill?”
“Could it be some reclusive old monster?”
“Huai'an, follow your master to go and investigate! If a supreme miraculous pill has truly been born, we shall see if we can obtain it!” The Sect Master of the Blue Moon Sect made a prompt decision.
“As you command, Master!”
In an instant, the peace of the entire Great Li Dynasty was completely shattered by this pill lightning!
Countless Twelfth Realm consecrated experts, Thirteenth Realm old monster powerhouses, and patriarchs of major families hiding in the shadows tore through the void one after another. From all directions, they rushed toward the secluded residence located at the border of Heifeng Town and the imperial city!
“Which senior is refining a pill outside the city?!”
“A peak Grade Eight miraculous pill... If I can obtain one, the bottleneck that has trapped me for a hundred years might finally be broken!”
“Hurry! If we are too late, we won't even get a drop of soup!”
Clamorous discussions and the sound of rushing air echoed through the night sky. The divine senses of countless powerhouses swept toward the secluded residence like a dense spiderweb.
However, when the leading top powerhouses crossed the void and rushed to within a hundred zhang of the secluded residence, the scene before them left them thunderstruck!
Above the clouds.
The second and third even larger and more violent bolts of pill lightning crashed down in succession, transforming into a world-destroying ocean of thunder!
And at the center of this ocean of thunder, a slender blue figure stood quietly in the void.
She threw punch after punch into the void.
Wherever her fist force passed, the void caved in. The violent tribulation lightning that was enough to destroy heaven and earth was like fragile glass before her, shattered in midair by her punches!
“Who... Who is that?!”
The Sect Master of the Blue Moon Sect stopped his figure abruptly, his brows furrowing. “There are no fluctuations of spiritual energy... Is she blowing up the pill lightning relying purely on her physical body?”
Han Huai'an, who had just arrived, was also stunned. He stared blankly at the figure in the sky, who seemed to be possessed by an ancient fierce beast.
How could there be someone with such a terrifyingly strong physical body in this world!
“But why... do I suddenly feel a sense of palpitation?”
For some reason, as Shen Huai'an looked at that blurry figure, he felt a faint discomfort in his heart.
At the same time, the various powerhouses and imperial consecrated experts who had rushed over felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. It was their first time witnessing such a scene.
Even if a Thirteenth Realm cultivator were here, they would not dare to let their guard down against the pill lightning of a peak Grade Eight pill, and a Twelfth Realm cultivator would have to exhaust all their magic treasures.
Who exactly was this person?!
