Battle Through the Heavens: Live Q&a Session - Only I Know the Answers

183: Chapter 182 Black ThunderAmidst the disbelieving gazes of everyone, two figures slowly rose from the raging cyan fire cauldron. One coiled and spiraled, its scales shimmering with luster, dragon whiskers dancing in the wind, and its golden dragon claws emitting a brilliant radiance.

This was unmistakably a golden dragon!

”Roar!”

Following the dragon’s roar, a phoenix’s cry also rang out, refusing to be outdone.

A pair of multi-colored wings and a magnificent phoenix tail emerged as it raised its high head and slowly probed its body out from the fire cauldron.

These two magical beasts, which only existed in legends, had actually appeared simultaneously, adding endless shock to this soon-to-be-born pill.

As the dragon and phoenix circled and soared into the sky, disappearing into the pitch-black firmament, the originally dead-silent sky seemed to be injected with a violent force, and it began to churn intensely.

The thick clouds squeezed and collided with each other, emitting muffled sounds.

In an instant, nine colors—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, gold, and silver—appeared in the tribulation clouds one after another like nine brilliant stars.

These colors intertwined and reflected off each other, illuminating the entire Holy Pill City which had been shrouded in darkness.

”This is... Nine-Colored Pill Lightning!”

Someone in the crowd was the first to shout, their voice filled with shock. At this moment, their eyes were all stunned by the scene in the sky before them.

”Could it be that what he is refining is an Eighth Grade Pill with Nine-Colored Pill Lightning!”

Someone exclaimed in shock, their eyes flickering with disbelief.

Xiao Yan, Cao Ying, Dan Chen, Xiao Yi Xian, and the others all stood frozen on the spot, their eyes filled with immense shock.

Their mouths were wide open, as if frozen in that moment, unable to close for a long time.

The shock in their hearts was like surging waves, one after another, fiercely impacting their minds and leaving them almost unable to breathe.

”So this is Chen Yang’s strength? Nine-Colored Pill Lightning!” Cao Ying gazed at Chen Yang and muttered to herself.

In her eyes, distinct emotions surged like a rushing tide—there was shock, envy, and a trace of indescribable unwillingness.

These emotions intertwined, as if they would break through her inner defenses and erupt at any moment.

The nine colors appeared so abrupt in the pitch-black tribulation clouds in the sky, and the entire Holy Pill City was illuminated by the nine-colored radiance.

However, the changes in the tribulation clouds had not yet ended; the nine colors began to slowly gather together and fuse.

They mingled and permeated each other, gradually transforming into the only color in heaven and earth—black.

This black tribulation cloud could not be seen clearly at all, but the black lightning dancing within it exuded an aura of destroying everything.

”The Nine-Colored Pill Lightning has actually fused and turned black!”

”What kind of pill is this exactly?”

Exclamations continuously came from the spectator stands, the sounds deafening, as if they would shatter the entire sky.

Everyone’s faces were filled with confusion, their gazes locked tightly onto that patch of black tribulation clouds.

Seeing this scene, Xuan Kongzi immediately spoke out, his voice like a great bell, echoing between heaven and earth: ”This is a Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill, which has attracted the Black Demon Lightning!”

”Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill!”

Upon hearing Xuan Kongzi’s voice, everyone was once again shocked into a state of bewilderment.

They gazed at Chen Yang’s god-like figure, a feeling of genuine admiration surging in their hearts.

With such heaven-defying pill refining strength, even if they didn’t want to admire it, they would still be deeply convinced by the Ninth Grade Pill that Chen Yang had refined.

One must know that the level corresponding to a Ninth Grade Pill is Dou Sheng!

A Dou Sheng expert is a true existence standing at the peak of the Fighting Qi Continent, overlooking all living beings, unmatched by anyone.

A Ninth-Grade Alchemist, the value of one on the Fighting Qi Continent goes without saying; no matter where they go, they will be treated as an honored guest and receive the reverence of all.

In the entire Central Plains, even among those old monsters in the Pill Tower who have not appeared for a long time, those capable of refining a Ninth Grade Pill can be counted on one’s fingers.

”As expected of Chen Yang; with such powerful strength, added to his superb pill refining techniques, there is nowhere in the entire Fighting Qi Continent that he cannot go.”

Xuan Kongzi gazed at Chen Yang sitting in the plaza, his eyes filled with an expression of appreciation.

A Ninth Grade Pill, the highest specification pill to appear since the history of the Pill Gathering, and it is thought that this scene will become a legend on the Fighting Qi Continent, one that no one will ever be able to surpass.

Just as everyone was shaken to their core, staring blankly at the black tribulation clouds in the sky, their minds continuously echoed with those few big words spoken by Xuan Kongzi.

”Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill!!!”

Chen Yang, on the plaza, remained quietly seated in front of the fire cauldron, as if the terrifying Black Demon Lightning in the sky had nothing to do with him.

Within the cyan flames, a pill emitting nine-colored radiance slowly rotated, sometimes transforming into a dragon shape, sometimes turning into a phoenix shadow; this magical change fully demonstrated the extraordinary nature of this pill.

Everyone was incredibly quiet, their gazes tightly focused on Chen Yang, their hearts filled with immense anticipation, waiting for the birth of the Ninth Grade Pill.

In their hearts, they were all incredibly fortunate to be able to personally attend this Pill Gathering.

Not only did they witness the birth of two Eighth Grade Pills with Five-Color Pill Lightning—such pills are difficult to see even for people living in Holy Pill City for over a decade, let alone people from other places; witnessing an Alchemist Grandmaster refine pills is incredibly difficult.

And this Pill Gathering not only had Eighth Grade Pills with Five-Color Pill Lightning, but also an Eighth Grade Pill with Seven-Colored Pill Lightning, which is rarely seen in a hundred years, and the person who refined this pill was none other than Xiao Yan, the disciple of the previous Pill Gathering champion, Yao Chen!

As the saying goes, a strict teacher produces talented students; Xiao Yan had not disgraced the reputation of Venerable Yao as the number one Alchemist of the Central Plains.

If not for the Ninth Grade Pill refined by Chen Yang, this Eighth Grade Pill with Seven-Colored Pill Lightning would undoubtedly be the highest-level pill of this Pill Gathering, and Xiao Yan would naturally be the champion of this Pill Gathering!

Everyone had not expected that, having originally thought that being able to see two pills with Five-Color Pill Lightning would already make the trip worthwhile, who knew there would actually be a pill with Seven-Colored Pill Lightning later on, not to mention the Ninth Grade Pill about to be successfully refined.

In the future, when seeing others who had not come to the Pill Gathering, they would be able to proudly say to the other party that they were people who had seen a Ninth Grade Pill being born with their own eyes, a chance they did not have.

Just as everyone was focusing intently on Chen Yang, the pitch-black tribulation clouds in the sky finally began to unleash their power.

”Rumblings...”

Huge thunderous sounds resonated throughout the entire Holy Pill City, and everyone subconsciously raised their heads, looking towards the massive tribulation clouds that covered the sky.

Black lightning could be seen continuously flashing within the clouds, every bolt containing an aura of destruction, as if it wanted to turn everything in the world into ashes.

A Dou Zun expert in the spectator stands looked at the Black Demon Lightning in the sky with a grave expression and slowly said: ”The aura coming from this tribulation cloud—even for me, if I wanted to go up and block it, it is very likely that I wouldn’t even be able to take the first bolt of lightning. Is this the lightning tribulation corresponding to a Dou Sheng expert?”

”Indeed, we at the Dou Zun realm can roam freely across the four seas and do anything in this Central Plains, but under this lightning tribulation, I feel that I am so insignificant; in the eyes of a Dou Sheng expert, we might just be like ants.”

Another man looked at the lightning tribulation in the sky, his face full of a bitter smile, and as he sighed and shook his head, he replied.

Their words were filled with awe for Dou Sheng experts, but this was also a chasm they would never be able to cross in their lifetime.
