A moment later, Xuan Kongzi finally spoke in a hoarse voice, ”After this is over, I will personally take action and tear that old bastard to pieces!”

”If you act, it will trigger a war between the Pill Tower and Hall of Souls, the consequences are too great.”

”The one from Hall of Souls is far too strong. Back then, even when the three of us joined forces, we were no match for him. If we start a war rashly, it will not be good for the Pill Tower.”

The cheongsam-clad woman at the side spoke, her face grave.

Xuan Kongzi’s body trembled slightly, his eyes filled with a terrifying, almost man-eating fury. In so many years, this was the first time he found it so hard to control his emotions.

”Let’s wait and see. Maybe a miracle will happen.” The woman in the cheongsam let out a soft sigh. But she also knew that this matter was basically decided.

For Wei Yang to refine a three-colored Tier 8 pill was already extremely outstanding. How could they expect even more?

After all, Old Mu Gu was of the same generation as Yao Chen and the other Three Great Leaders. Comparing Mu Gu to Yao Chen’s disciple and student was never fair to begin with.

”Hahahaha~”

On the stone platform, Old Mu Gu looked at the thundercloud in the sky that had finally stopped surging and solidified into four colors, and the heart he had been holding finally relaxed completely. His wild, triumphant laughter echoed endlessly through the heavens and earth.

”Jiejiejie, Xuan Kongzi, did you see that? I told you, the champion of this Pill Gathering will definitely fall into our Hall of Souls’s hands!”

Old Mu Gu’s manic laughter had just fallen.

”Oh, is that so?”

A faint voice slowly spread across the entire square, reaching everyone’s ears.

Hm?

All eyes swiftly moved, following the direction of the voice. There, at the very center of the square on a grand stone platform, Wei Yang slowly stood up.

His long dark-red hair danced in the wind. When his dark-red eyes opened, they brimmed with a strange and overbearing aura. Fixing his gaze on Old Mu Gu, Wei Yang spoke calmly, ”Old man, you’re pretty arrogant. Just now you said Yao Chen’s disciple is nothing special?”

Hearing this, Old Mu Gu’s brow furrowed slightly, and his aura seemed to be suppressed a little. Then he sneered, ”That’s right. Those were my words.”

”Good.” Wei Yang nodded, then flicked his sleeve.

Boom!

The cauldron lid flew off.

An unprecedented, terrifying black light pillar, carrying a power that could pierce through the void, shot straight into the sky.

The thick dark clouds above were pierced through, leaving a massive hole as if the firmament itself had been torn open. The blinding black radiance forced everyone to shut their eyes, some even tearing up.

Within that black pillar connecting heaven and earth was a vast power that shocked countless onlookers, even making them tremble. Judging by the energy fluctuations alone, it far surpassed all others present. Even Old Mu Gu’s was completely crushed.

That colossal black pillar soared upward from the center of the square. Whether in sheer size or in might, it was the strongest of them all. Compared to it, the surrounding pillars of light were like stars circling the moon. Everyone gaped, squinting upward in overwhelming shock.

High in the sky, at the end of that pillar, the dark clouds churned and rapidly gathered.

As the thundercloud in the sky took shape, every heart present tightened violently. The appearance of this Pill Lightning would completely decide the final victor of this Pill Gathering.

Under countless tense gazes, the thundercloud roiled, and in almost an instant three colors—green, silver, and red—formed.

”Three colors!”

Seeing the rapidly emerging three-colored thundercloud, exclamations rose one after another across the vast square.

”It’s not done yet, another color is appearing!”

No sooner had those cries fallen than the thundercloud rolled again. A streak of gold quickly surfaced, spreading until it matched the other three colors.

”Four colors, it’s reached four colors!”

As they looked at the thundercloud that had fully manifested four colors, the once-quiet square instantly erupted again. Countless faces flushed with excitement.

In such a short time, they had witnessed the birth of one two-color, four three-color, and two four-colored Tier 8 pills. Such a spectacle was truly a once-in-a-century event.

Seeing the thundercloud of four colors appear, Xuan Kongzi and the others on the high platform all let out a huge sigh of relief, their hearts surging with extreme excitement.

A miracle, a true miracle had happened!

Although this was also four colors, they felt no panic at all, because with their intentional bias, the final victor was bound to be Wei Yang without a doubt.

In contrast, Old Mu Gu’s expression darkened, turning rather unsightly. This slap in the face had come far too quickly.

High in the distant sky, the thundercloud churned without pause, tugging at countless hearts.

Suddenly.

”There’s more, it’s not over yet, another color is appearing!”

All at once, a sharp cry of alarm echoed across the square.

Whoosh~

A wave of astonished voices surged instantly. Everyone who had thought it was over was shocked to discover that the thundercloud’s rolling had not ceased at all.

After the fourth color stabilized, something within that seething cloud was still brewing. Faintly, there seemed to be a trace of purple quietly emerging.

”Gulp.”

All heads tilted back, throats working as they couldn’t help but swallow hard.

A tense atmosphere blanketed the entire square. Even the Three Great Leaders found their hands unconsciously clenching, their heartbeats quickening.

Old Mu Gu’s gaze also locked firmly on the roiling thundercloud in the sky, his facial muscles twitching. Then his eyes turned toward Wei Yang in the distance.

He saw Wei Yang standing there calmly, hands clasped behind his back, face serene. That relaxed posture made Old Mu Gu’s heart sink heavily.

Just as that sense of unease in Old Mu Gu grew stronger and stronger, a terrifying surge of thunderous might suddenly erupted in the distant heavens, spreading across the sky.

”Not good!”

The instant that thunderous pressure appeared, Old Mu Gu’s face went deathly pale, and the last trace of luck in his heart completely vanished.

From within the tumbling thunderclouds, a streak of purple light pierced through like a mysterious radiance that could pierce the heavens, shooting through the clouds and dyeing an entire section of the storm violet.

With the appearance of that purple hue, the thundercloud became five-colored. The five-colored thundercloud, each shade equally intense and inseparable, blanketed the heavens.

Boom~

The entire square erupted completely at that moment. Everyone stood up at once. Their eyes stared in shock at the magnificent five-colored thundercloud above.

Green, silver, red, gold, and purple—five rays of light made the immense thundercloud look like a dazzling aurora, breathtakingly beautiful.

Countless faces flushed with excitement as cheers thundered skyward. The whole of Holy Pill City seemed to tremble faintly beneath the roar of those voices.

Five-Color Pill Lightning!

This was something that had existed only in legend. And now, it had appeared right before their eyes, born in their very presence. How could they not be thrilled and ecstatic?

Five colors!

Such a pill was already extremely close to the legendary Creation God Pill!

Everyone knew that the result of this Pill Gathering was now settled, with no possibility of reversal. Between heaven and earth, countless blazing gazes fixed on that domineering figure standing atop the grand stone platform.

The fervor in those eyes had reached a nearly fanatical level. That overbearing figure was now deeply imprinted in the hearts of many.

Who would have thought that the champion of this Pill Gathering would fall to a young man who looked barely over twenty?

After today, the name Wei Yang would resound throughout the entire Central Plains.

Oh, and there was also: Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame!

The twenty-fourth Heavenly Flame, a brand-new Heavenly Flame. The very life-bound flame used by this Pill Gathering’s champion!
