204: Chapter 204 Opening of the Sea of ​​Consciousness, Black Demon Lightning

Inside the mieyuan furnace, purple flames burned fiercely, looking at the extremely fragile Huangquan Blood Vine.

Under the scorching high temperature, it had not changed in the slightest. If one looked closely, the surface of the blood vine was emitting a netherworld aura, resisting the terrifying heat.

Every spiritual object of heaven and earth has its own self-protection. Elder Dan, as a master Alchemist, was not surprised.

He focused on the stalemate, wondering who would be able to refine it sooner or later...

Maintaining the high temperature, Elder Dan sat cross-legged in the void, his eyes slightly closed. The time required to refine it would not be short.

This refinement lasted for nearly a full day before the Huangquan Blood Vine finally began to crack gradually.

Drops of crystalline, blood-colored sap flowed within the cracks.

With the surface of the Huangquan Blood Vine broken, he only needed to wait easily. It took another half day to completely refine this Huangquan Blood Vine.

It turned into a mass of blood-colored liquid, suspended in the flames, wriggling slowly as if it had a spirit.

Elder Dan breathed a sigh of relief. Then, with a thought, the refined medicinal liquid and powder in the corner of the furnace...

flew over rapidly. Under his pure control, they all approached and fused with the blood-colored liquid...

The first step of fusion was perfect. About an hour later, a viscous mass was suspended in the purple flames.

Elder Dan was somewhat surprised that he could achieve this step so easily.

It was likely due to his soul entering the half-step Emperor Realm after refining the ten-thousand year spirit dragon heavenly ganoderma. In the past, he had refined it before, but it had not been this smooth.

He threw himself back into the complex and tedious pill refining process.

Boom...

On the other side, inside the rift, terrifying flames, violent storms, and surging true fire suddenly gushed out from the crack, turning into the most violent destructive force.

It was as if the entire chaos was roaring violently.

This sword strike split the chaos, and a mysterious feeling filled his heart, clearly perceiving the changes in his state of mind.

Various laws were derived, turning into invisible fragments that burrowed into his mind.

"Open the heavens! Open the heavens! Open the heavens!"

Hun Tiandi's heart shook, and boundless joy welled up. The Crimson Sword in his hand struck again, one sword after another, slashing toward the rift.

His understanding of the Ten Thousand Sword Art within his body, as the Dou Technique operated, gave him a different realization with every execution.

Under the Crimson Sword, the chaotic world surged.

It seemed to want to annihilate and swallow the opened space, forcing Hun Tiandi to strike continuously, shattering waves of vast world power!

"Second sword: Separate the clear and the turbid!"

Hun Tiandi struck with the second sword again. After the chaos was sliced open and the void shattered, the clear rose to become the heavens, and the turbid sank to become the earth, clearly distinguishing the two energies.

However, while Hun Tiandi was concentrating on opening the heavens, the heart of samsara hidden deep in his soul expanded and contracted, continuously absorbing the fragments of laws, and even the world power itself.

Merging into the heart of samsara, this was simply plundering the laws of heaven and earth.

The consumption of his own strength was simply immeasurable.

The heart of samsara was extracting the power of opening the heavens and pouring it into Hun Tiandi, who was in the midst of opening the heavens, and the consumed strength was instantly restored.

Boom...

The Crimson Sword paused, then erupted with unprecedented sword light, striking toward the world power and transforming it into the power of Yin and Yang creation.

"Third sword: Refine Yin and Yang!"

The opened space expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye. The vast power of Yin and Yang rotated, deriving the power of creation, which poured out.

Refining pills is an extremely time-consuming task, especially when refining high-grade pills.

It often takes ten days or half a month for a single refining.

In five days, Elder Dan had finished refining the three main materials: the Huangquan Blood Vine, the Silver Moon True Fruit, and the Jidu Demon Stamen.

With his powerful Emperor Realm Soul, there were no mistakes.

Elder Dan slowly opened his slightly closed eyes and looked at the furnace with a solemn expression. Within the churning flames were three masses that looked like medicinal powder or liquid.

They looked extremely ordinary, but they radiated a shocking, pure energy...

Now only the Millennium Ice Spirit Spring remained. With a casual wave, he drew it into the flames to temper it. After this last main material was refined...

the next step was to fuse them perfectly, then calcine them into the pill prototype, and finally form the pill...

Merging the pill is the most important part of alchemy, and there was only one set of required medicinal materials.

Failure was absolutely not an option; otherwise, the subsequent plans would fall through.

Refining high-grade pills is a very arduous task.

Elder Dan glanced at Liu Ling, who was somewhat astonished beside him, smiled slightly, and immediately began to condense the pill.

The surrounding Ziwei Heavenly Fire surged violently, enveloping the four masses of medicinal liquid. This step tested the Alchemist's control.

If there was the slightest change during this period, it would destroy the pill.

This step was extremely important!

Unparalleled, vast soul power surged out, covering every inch of the furnace, and any change would be reflected in his mind.

Under Elder Dan's precise control, there were no mistakes, and the fusion process proceeded slowly.

The time required to fuse the medicinal power and condense the pill was the longest part of alchemy. The pill took nearly ten days to reach its final stages.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, a rich medicinal fragrance permeated the air. Taking a breath of it, the fatigue on his body was relieved significantly.

Boom!

A rumble suddenly appeared in the sky, and the sky darkened instantly as clouds gathered from all directions.

The clouds that gathered this time were not colorful, but an extremely deep darkness.

Black clouds filled the sky. When one's gaze rested on the deep black clouds, it felt as if even the soul was trembling.

"Why has it gotten dark?" Ye Lingxi asked, looking at the sky innocently.

General Ye Wudi stood beside her, curiously looking up at the sky.

"Is this... a thundercloud?" Feng Qianyou flashed and appeared, her pupils constricted. An unbelievable thought welled up in her heart.

Swish. Lei Xuanji appeared, her beautiful eyes flickering as she looked at the black clouds in the sky, uttering a voice of disbelief.

"Is this... Black Demon Lightning?" Lei Xuanji exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qianyou immediately recalled that this was the legendary thunder tribulation that only a Ninth Grade Pill could attract.

"Is this Liu Ling actually refining a Ninth Grade Pill?"

As an Alchemist, Feng Qianyou had naturally seen Alchemists from the Pill Tower refine Ninth Grade Pills.

The Time Tower roared with thunder light, accompanied by electric snakes moving through the black clouds, which was extremely terrifying. Lei Xuanji, who was in seclusion, heard the sound of thunder and lightning.

She broke out of seclusion and looked around vigilantly. The black clouds transformed into an eight-colored thunder tribulation amidst the flashing.

"Is this... a thunder tribulation?" While Lei Xuanji was scanning the area, Feng Qianyou also came out of seclusion.

"No... it's a pill tribulation!"

"Is it possible that Liu Ling is refining pills?" As an Alchemist, Feng Qianyou naturally knew what the eight-colored thunder tribulation represented.

"Pill tribulation?" Lei Xuanji asked. Only after Feng Qianyou's explanation did she understand that only pills above the Seventh Grade had a chance to attract a pill tribulation.

The group looked at the constantly wriggling black clouds and immediately felt an extremely intense destructive power, a power that surpassed past pill tribulations.

In the sky, the black clouds moved continuously, but it was completely silent. There was not a single sound of thunder. It was precisely this deathly silence that made people feel terrified.

The clouds rotated, and a circular opening split in the center, pitch black, as if it were a black hole.
