197: Chapter 196 The Evolution of Two Women
He stared blankly at the pitch-black lightning, his eyes filled with hope. He hoped that one day he, too, would be able to refine such a miraculous pill; if he could, his life would not have been lived in vain.
"Holy Light Technique!"
Facing such a powerful lightning tribulation, Chen Yang did not dare to relax in the slightest.
He knew well the power of this lightning tribulation; once struck, not only would the pill be destroyed, but he himself might also suffer heavy injuries.
He immediately cast the Holy Light Technique. A golden radiance bloomed from his hands, instantly erecting a golden barrier that tightly protected the medicine cauldron and himself.
The black lightning struck the golden barrier fiercely. The entire protective shield supported by the Holy Light Technique instantly began to crack, as if it were a fragile piece of glass about to shatter.
Clearly, such a powerful attack had already exceeded the limits of what the Holy Light Technique could withstand.
Chen Yang was secretly startled. Judging by this strike, he estimated that the attack power of this lightning tribulation was equivalent to that of a Three-Star Dou Sheng to a Five-Star Dou Sheng.
He understood that every star for a Dou Sheng was worlds apart, completely different from other realms. For a Dou Sheng expert, every increase in a star meant an exponential growth in their own strength. Even if it were just one star higher, without the help of other Dou Sheng experts, a lower-star Dou Sheng would undoubtedly die.
Under the continuous bombardment of the lightning tribulation, the Holy Light Technique was gradually unable to hold up. However, Chen Yang did not panic; he mobilized the divine power in his Bitter Sea, continuously pouring it into the Holy Light Technique.
Under the augmentation of the divine power, the Holy Light Technique gradually returned to its original state, but the entire golden protective shield was already enveloped by the black lightning.
The lightning tribulation came one after another, seemingly endless. However, relying on the Undying Heavenly Art, Chen Yang's divine power was continuous and boundless.
He gritted his teeth and resisted the attacks of the lightning tribulation with all his might, with only one belief in his heart: to successfully refine the dragon-phoenix blood spirit pill.
Finally, as a single raindrop gently fell to the ground, the entire Holy Pill City welcomed a rare heavy rain.
These raindrops were crystal clear. When they landed on Xuan Kongzi's body, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in his heart; his understanding of alchemy had actually advanced to a higher level, and even the Fighting Qi within his body had become incredibly solid.
"Could this be the pill formation phenomenon of a Grade 9 Profound Pill, Pill Rain!"
Xuan Yi trembled her lips and slowly spoke the name of this rain.
Her eyes flashed with excitement; she had never thought that in this lifetime, she would be able to witness the legendary Pill Rain with her own eyes.
Everyone in the entire Holy Pill City was nourished by this rain.
People discovered with pleasant surprise that not only had their Fighting Qi improved, but even their alchemy skills had made significant progress.
"What on earth is this rain? It actually allowed me to break through by one star."
A low-level Dou Zong looked shocked. He had never expected that just by being rained on, he would break through by one star. This was simply incredible, and his heart was filled with surprise and gratitude.
"That's right, I also improved by one star." Another Dou Zong spoke up, his eyes full of joy.
Such things were happening in every corner of Holy Pill City; as long as people were rained on, they all received their own opportunities.
This Pill Rain seemed like a miraculous baptism, giving the entire Holy Pill City new vitality and vigor.
With the falling of the Pill Rain, Chen Yang's alchemy journey finally came to a complete end.
One could see a small Void Ancient Dragon and a small Ancient Heavenly Phoenix intermingling, slowly rising from the medicine cauldron.
A soft radiance emanated from their bodies, as if they were two brilliant stars.
With a wave of his hand, Chen Yang interrupted the state of the dragon and phoenix intermingling.
In an instant, the dragon and phoenix transformed back into two pills exuding a strange medicinal fragrance.
These two pills—one bright red as blood, representing the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix; the other shining with purple light, representing the Void Ancient Dragon.
This was none other than the Grade 9 Profound Pill that Chen Yang had spent countless efforts to research—the dragon-phoenix blood spirit pill.
The two pills floated quietly in Chen Yang's broad palm. The pills emitted a soft and strange radiance, and the rich medicinal fragrance permeated the air, as if telling of their extraordinary nature.
Chen Yang subconsciously looked up and saw that Gu Yuena and Zi Yan were already staring fixedly at the pills in his palm. Their eyes were full of longing and anticipation, as if those two pills were the most precious treasures in the world.
Clearly, they could hardly wait to swallow these two pills, which condensed Chen Yang's countless efforts, and personally experience the immense medicinal power contained within.
The strange medicinal fragrance emitted by the pills was like a pair of invisible hands, tightly pulling at their minds, making them unable to extricate themselves.
Looking at their greedy cat-like expressions, Chen Yang couldn't help but find it somewhat funny, and he didn't bother with any more chatter.
A warm smile curled at the corners of his mouth, and his tone was gentle yet carried a hint of anticipation as he said calmly: "Eat them now, and let me see if the pill I deduced truly has the effect I expected."
Gu Yuena and Zi Yan first cautiously took the pills. Their hands trembled slightly, and their eyes were filled with reverence. After all, this was a Grade 9 Profound Pill, an extremely rare existence in the entire Fighting Qi Continent, something that countless experts dreamed of but could not obtain.
Yet, their husband had relied on his extraordinary alchemy skills to refine such heaven-defying pills for them.
Gu Yuena and Zi Yan looked at each other, seeing in each other's eyes an unreserved trust in Chen Yang. Without the slightest hesitation, they sat cross-legged on the ground, took a deep breath, and then swallowed the pills in their hands in one go.
The pill melted as soon as it entered their mouths, instantly turning into a stream of pure medicinal power that surged through the women's limbs and bones like a raging tide.
The powerful medicinal force instantly stimulated the bloodline power of the two women, causing them to reveal their original forms.
First was Gu Yuena. Her waterfall-like silver hair instantly bloomed with a dazzling silver radiance, brilliant and eye-catching. On top of her head, a pair of crystal-clear silver dragon horns slowly emerged, exuding a mysterious aura.
Her snow-white skin also gradually turned purplish-red, as if shrouded by a layer of mysterious radiance. Clearly, the medicinal power of the pill had begun to take effect, triggering a wonderful change within her body.
Looking at Zi Yan, her originally petite and exquisite body grew rapidly under the influence of the medicinal power, and her entire temperament underwent a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering change. Her originally black and beautiful long hair now turned into a deep purple, as charming as violets.
A pair of purple dragon horns stood proudly from her head, emitting a dazzling purple radiance. That radiance contained powerful strength, as if declaring her extraordinary nature to the world.
"Boom!"
An overwhelming aura instantly surged out from the bodies of the two women. That aura, like a raging wave, swept through the entire courtyard.
Xiao Yi Xian and the others' expressions changed drastically. They hurriedly circulated their Fighting Qi, activating Fighting Qi barriers to resist this powerful pressure.
Even the powerful Xuan Kongzi, under the impact of this aura, could not help but take half a step back, a look of shock appearing on his face.
Xiao Yi Xian and the others were suppressed firmly by this aura, their bodies trembling slightly, their foreheads covered in fine beads of sweat. If it hadn't been for Chen Yang timely casting his Fighting Qi to prop up a protective barrier for them, they might have long been pressed to the ground by this powerful aura, unable to move.
As the aura continued to spread, the entire Holy Pill City was shrouded in a dense dragon might. People in the city stopped what they were doing, looked up towards the source of the aura, their eyes filled with fear and reverence.
