All Tian Yao Kui Fully Evolved
"Nine-Colored Thundercloud, what a treasure!"
Amidst the thunderclouds, Xiao Yuan gazed at the ever-churning Nine-Colored Thundercloud around him, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes. The Seven-Colored Pill Tribulation Lightning last time had given him quite a surprise, and this time the Nine-Colored Pill Tribulation Lightning would surely be even more effective! He swept his hand across his Storage Ring, and one after another, puppets at the Peak Dou Zong were thrown out by Xiao Yuan, scattering into the clouds to absorb their power.
As for Xiao Yuan himself, he activated his Demon Lightning Body to its maximum, and then the dark golden Heavenly Flames in his hand transformed into a hundred-meter-long flaming whip. He preemptively struck, lashing out fiercely inside the thundercloud, successfully enraging the Nine-Colored Pill Tribulation Lightning, which was second only to the Black Demon Lightning! "Boom! Boom!"
The dazzling lightning, like a giant dragon roaring across the sky, raged and danced, then burst forth with brilliant lightning, sweeping across the heavens and earth, finally crashing into Xiao Yuan's chest.
The lightning struck Xiao Yuan's body hard, and the dazzling nine-colored lightning burst forth, then transformed into countless tiny electric snakes, continuously burrowing into his body along his skin.
A dazzling surge of lightning power flowed into Xiao Yuan's body, rapidly strengthening his bones, fascia, and flesh.
If someone could see through the thunderclouds, they would see that Xiao Yuan was like a thunder god, hovering in the sky, with lightning flashing all around him within a ten-foot radius. The terrifying aura made people's scalps tingle.
On the stone platform, Xiao Yan's eyes blazed with azure flames, taking in the situation within the clouds.
Xiao Yuan withstood all the nine-colored lightning bolts aimed at him head-on, which made him extremely relaxed, without having to exert any effort to deal with these troublesome pill lightning.
Above the sky, thunder rumbled incessantly, and the churning Nine-Colored Thundercloud, like a lightning-generating machine, continuously spewed out numerous increasingly powerful and dazzling bolts of lightning, which then struck the surrounding Di Yao Kui and Xiao Yuan in the center.
The turmoil of the Nine-Colored Thundercloud lasted for nearly half an hour before gradually subsiding. During this half hour, hundreds of extremely powerful bolts of lightning streaked out from the thundercloud. However, this did not cause any damage to the Di Yao Kui. Instead, it turned its body, which was covered with brilliant silver, into a golden appearance!
"As expected of the Nine-Colored Pill Tribulation Lightning!"
At the very center of the thunderclouds, a look of joy welled up in Xiao Yuan's eyes. Now, all the Di Yao Kui under his command had advanced to Tian Yao Kui, and his own body had been further strengthened. More importantly, the Black Demon Lightning nurtured within his body was growing stronger! With these thoughts surging in his mind, Xiao Yuan made another move, forcefully attracting all the colorful thunderclouds, and then continued to absorb the power from the pill lightning.
With Xiao Yuan and the group of Tian Yao Kui absorbing the lightning power at an almost superhuman level, the Dan Lei relentlessly raged for about ten minutes before finally having to give up on this tough nut to crack. The energy fluctuations within the clouds gradually faded, and the thick thunderclouds slowly dispersed under the watchful eyes of countless people.
As the thick thunderclouds in the sky dissipated, warm sunlight once again poured down from the sky, shining on the land ravaged by the thunder. The warmth gave many people a strange feeling of being reborn.
After thoroughly enjoying the sunshine, everyone's gaze turned to Xiao Yuan. At this moment, Xiao Yuan exuded a terrifying aura that even Dou Zun expert found frightening. Clearly, this Dan Lei tempering had greatly benefited him.
Colorful arcs of lightning swirled around Xiao Yuan, looking quite mystical. However, after a brief moment of amazement, everyone finally realized that the Pill Gathering had now come to a complete end, and it was time to announce the final results!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Yuan smiled slightly in the sky, then slowly descended, his gaze sweeping across the sky before settling on that slender figure.
"Alright, the pill lightning has dissipated. Now, all participants, please take out the pills you have refined."
Upon hearing Xiao Yuan's voice, the dozen or so people still standing on the stone platform hesitated slightly, and then one by one, round and lustrous pills floated up from their hands and hovered in front of them.
As soon as these elixirs appeared, the fragrance of elixirs in this area became much stronger.
Countless gazes followed the direction of the gazes. Among the suspended pills, there were nine that resembled luminous pearls. Although these pills were of good appearance and would normally have attracted a lot of attention as Grade 7 High Level Pill, they did not draw much attention. This was because above those nine Grade 7 High Level Pill, five pills shrouded in a faint spiritual mist were suspended in mid-air.
Although seventh-grade and Rank 8 Pill look similar, even someone who knows nothing about alchemy can tell the difference between them at a glance. This difference lies in their spiritual quality.
Grade 7 Pill, though rich in energy, are dead pills. Rank 8 Pill, on the other hand, possess their own spirituality. These are what are called living pills or spiritual pills! The five Rank 8 Pill, as soon as they appeared, moved apart. Among the five pills, Cao Ying's and Dan Chen's Yao Ling. A faint spiritual mist swirled around the pills, vaguely condensing into the image of a fox and a rabbit.
Countless curious gazes were fixed on the five Grade Rank 8 Pill in mid-air. This spectacle was something many people were seeing for the first time. Rank 8 Pill were indeed extraordinary.
Not far from Cao Ying and Dan Chen's two pills were three other pills that were relatively enormous. Among them, the pill of the Qinghua Old Freak condensed into the shape of a bear, but it did not have any intention of fighting. Instead, it sat guarding its own territory, because it knew that if it really clashed, it would not be able to withstand the two ferocious beings.
The other one, naturally, was an Rank 8 Pill made Lao Wang Yuan Dan, Xiao Yuan's cheap apprentice, using Two-Colored Pill Lightning.
At the very top of these four pills was the Bone Growing Blood Melting Pill refined by Xiao Yan. Its rich Spiritual Energy surged forth rapidly, and then transformed into a colorful dragon about half a meter long, emitting a terrifying pressure that easily suppressed the four Rank 8 Pill.
As these pills took form, beams of light suddenly emerged from them, arranging themselves in the shape of pyramids in the sky. At the apex of the pyramids, a small, spiritual dragon roared to the sky, its brilliant light bursting forth like a blazing sun in the heavens.
In that instant, everyone clearly realized just how terrifyingly pure the power was contained within that tiny pill.
On the high platform, Xiao Yuan looked at the other pills that were almost suppressed by the Bone Growing Blood Melting Pill and dared not rebound in the slightest. He couldn't help but smile, and then said loudly, "Pills are valued for their spiritual essence. Now, the most precious pill of this Pill Gathering has been born, and its owner is the final champion of this Pill Gathering, Xiao Yan!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yuan's concise and powerful words, countless gazes immediately turned to the stone platform. A moment later, a deafening cheer resounded throughout the land.
They witnessed a miracle. A young man in his early twenties, having exerted all his strength at the Pill Gathering, actually refined the legendary Nine-Colored Pill Tribulation Lightning Rank 8 Pill directly. Everyone knew that from this moment on, Xiao Yan's name was destined to resound throughout the entire Central State and even the entire Douqi Continent! Standing on the stone platform, Xiao Yan looked down at the bustling square and couldn't help but smile slightly. Then, he looked up at the sky and murmured in his heart, "Teacher, your disciple has not disgraced you!"
Cao Ying and the others looked at Xiao Yan with envy, who was receiving the attention of thousands of people. At this moment, the latter was undoubtedly the most dazzling protagonist in this scene.
The champion of the Pill Gathering is a symbol of seniority and a peak powerhouse, because every champion of the Pill Gathering in the past has become a top existence in this world. However, this is different for Xiao Yan. Because an alchemist who can refine Rank 8 Pill with Nine-Colored Pill Tribulation Lightning doesn't need to wait, he can already be considered a top existence in this world now! Song Qing stared at Xiao Yan with a complicated expression. There was jealousy in his eyes, but more than that, there was a sense of powerlessness. Xiao Yan's performance this time was enough to make him feel frustrated, and he couldn't even muster the thought of catching up with him.
Nine-Colored Pill Tribulation Lightning! He probably could never refine it in his lifetime! "Xiao Yan, you have won the Pill Gathering and will become one of the candidates for future giants of the Danta."
Xiao Yuan smiled as he looked at Xiao Yan on the stone platform and said slowly.
As soon as Xiao Yuan said this, countless envious and jealous gazes were cast upon Xiao Yan. The title of candidate for future giant of the Danta means that Xiao Yan has the opportunity to become a future Pill Tower Giant. This position can truly be said to be standing at the very top of the Douqi Continent.
Everyone present knew the immense power and influence wielded by the Pill Tower Giant; they were the spiritual leaders in the hearts of countless alchemists across the continent!
The Danta did not actually wage war against anyone, but no one on the continent doubted the terrifying power possessed by this ancient force.
Under countless envious gazes, Xiao Yan nodded slightly. Regardless of whether he would truly become a giant in the Pill Gathering in the future, at least he wouldn't have to refuse.
However, people quickly realized that Xiao Yuan was also Eighth Grade Alchemist had refined the Seven-Colored Pill Tribulation Lightning. If he hadn't been hosting the competition, he and Xiao Yan would probably have sparked some interesting interactions.
What's more, Xiao Yuan's combat power seems to be even more abnormal. Even the Nine-Colored Pill Tribulation Lightning, which would give a headache to a high-level Dou Zun expert, was dealt with by him so easily. The young people of today are truly terrifying!
"As the champion, according to the rules, you will receive a scroll of ancient Soul Cultivation Method."
With a flick of his wrist, Xiao Yuan produced an ancient sheepskin scroll. He then sent the scroll flying towards Xiao Yan with a burst of light.
This thing was also given by Xuan Kongzi, but the ownership of this thing actually belongs to the Danta Tower.
Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Xiao Yan's face. Now that he had advanced to the Eighth-Tier, he naturally wanted as much of this good stuff as possible.
With a slight bend in his palm, he accurately grasped the ball of light. As the light dissipated, the ancient parchment scroll was revealed. Touching it with his palm, a faint, strange feeling welled up in his heart.
"It really is good stuff."
Noticing that strange feeling, Xiao Yan secretly praised it and then chuckled.
Although he was quite curious about this Soul Cultivation Method, now was not the time to examine it. He flipped his hand and, amidst many eager gazes, put it into his Storage Ring. Then, he turned his gaze to the Pill Tower Three Giants and bowed to them with clasped hands.
Seeing the satisfied look on Xiao Yan's face, Xiao Yuan smiled as well. After the applause that had resounded through the sky gradually subsided, he said, "The champion has been chosen. Two days from now, the Star Region will open. At that time, all those who make it into the top ten of the Pill Gathering will have the opportunity to enter and subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame!"
As soon as Xiao Yuan finished speaking, Xiao Yan, who had just calmed down, suddenly showed an uncontrollable excitement in his eyes. This Three Thousand Burning Flame was the best thing he needed most!
Of course, Xiao Yan wasn't the only one excited; everyone else, including veteran powerhouses like Qinghua Old Freak, also had their eyes burning with fervor. Clearly, the Three Thousand Burning Flame held immense appeal for them.
Seeing the excitement flash across their faces, everyone knew that the grand Pill Gathering was nearing its end, but the battles were not yet over. However, the target of this battle was no longer the Pill Gathering champion, but the legendary Undying Flame, the Three Thousand Burning Flame! Who would ultimately win such a rare treasure? Xiao Yuan's lips curled slightly at this question.
He had already learned about the origin of the Three Thousand Burning Flame from Zi Yan, and from the descriptions of the three giants, he also knew that the Three Thousand Burning Flame, in terms of strength alone, excluding all negative influences, was enough to fight against all three giants without being defeated.
If the seal hadn't been applied early, preventing the Three Thousand Burning Flame from unleashing their full power, the seal would probably have been broken long ago.
Therefore, it is probably a pipe dream for an ordinary person to tame the Three Thousand Burning Flame.
If it were really that easy, the Big Three would have made their move first.
The fact that the flames have survived to this day naturally indicates that the three giants' attempt was unsuccessful.
In fact, it wasn't just the three giants; in the past, the three giants had also organized some outstanding elders to try, but all of them ended in failure. That's why, at this Pill Gathering, the quota for the recovery of this Heavenly Flames was distributed as a reward.
After all, the Three Thousand Burning Flame were sealed in Star Region, where the Star Power was too abundant, causing the Three Thousand Burning Flame to gradually increase in strength over time. If this continues, the three giants will probably not be able to deal with the Three Thousand Burning Flame.
But Xiao Yuan unconditionally believed that Xiao Yan would definitely be able to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame! After all, Dou Emperor potential!
