338: Dan Lei tempering body

"The Ninth Turn! Condense for me!"

Yao Delong roared, the sound like a thunderclap exploding!

Divine light shone brilliantly in his eyes, and his hands moved through the hand seals with extreme speed, creating a blur of afterimages!

With his supreme Divine Thought, he drew the final, most crucial, and most profound ninth pill pattern, channeling all the remaining medicinal essence and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within the mountain river sun moon cauldron to carve it in with force!

Boom!

The moment the ninth pill pattern connected head to tail, closing perfectly!

Divine light erupted from Yao Delong's eyes. His hand seals shifted again, and he let out a sharp cry that shook the Nine Heavens: "Nine Turns Return to Truth, the Golden Core appears! Open!"

Rumble—!!!

The lid of the "mountain river sun moon cauldron" was blasted open by an invisible, immense force, shooting into the sky!

Whoosh!!!

A golden pillar of light, its brilliance beyond description, carrying a massive medicinal fragrance that pointed straight to the Origin of the Divine Soul and a vast dao rhyme, instantly broke through the constraints of the Pill Furnace and shot straight into the firmament!

Golden light stretched for ten thousand zhang, and auspicious energy filled the air in a thousand streams!

The entire summit of Pill Cloud Peak, and even the surrounding tens of miles, were illuminated in a glorious and sacred light, as if a fairyland had descended!

A Medicinal Pill, the size of a Dragon's eye, perfectly round and flawless, with nine profound dao rhymes flowing across its body, emitting a heart-palpitating, massive energy and the Aura of life and Divine Soul, hovered quietly above the Pill Furnace!

It was like the most perfect creation in Heaven and Earth, a crystallization of power and Law.

"Nine turns of the pill pattern! Perfect quality!"

"It succeeded! A seventh-tier Medicinal Pill! It really succeeded!"

"A Nascent Soul Stage cultivator refining a seventh-tier perfect Golden Core! A miracle! This is an Alchemy miracle!"

The entire summit of Pill Cloud Peak fell into a deathly, suffocating silence!

Everyone was so shocked by this scene, which transcended the limits of imagination, that their minds went blank, losing all ability to think!

Countless gazes were nailed to that hovering Nine-Turn Golden Core, filled with extreme shock, fanaticism, and reverent awe.

Dan Chenzi looked at that flawless Nine-Turn Golden Core, which flowed with the Aura of his Senior Brother's Void Flame Blazing Fire. Tears streamed down his old face, and his body trembled violently from excitement as he muttered: "Senior Brother... do you see this? Your successor... he has done it! Refining a seventh-tier pill at the Nascent Soul Stage, achieving perfection with nine turns! Such heaven-sent talent! The path of Alchemy... has a successor! The Alchemy of the Yin Yang Sect... shall surely flourish!"

However, in the midst of this extreme shock and ecstasy!

Rumble—!!!

High above the Nine Heavens, the clouds and winds suddenly changed!

The originally clear sky was instantly shrouded by boundless, thick leaden clouds!

Within the clouds, silver snakes danced wildly and lightning flickered. A terrifying, destructive Heavenly Might, as if it were substantial, slammed down, locking onto that hovering Nine-Turn Golden Core!

Pill Lightning Tribulation! When a Heaven-Defying Medicinal Pill of the seventh tier or higher is born, it must suffer the jealousy of Heaven, and a Lightning Tribulation will descend to baptize it! If it passes, the dao rhyme of the pill becomes even stronger; if it fails, the pill is destroyed and the person dies!

"Pill Tribulation! It's a seventh-tier Pill Tribulation!"

"Heavens! What terrifying pressure!"

"Senior Brother Yao, be careful!"

The exclamations were instantly drowned out by the deafening thunder!

Dan Chenzi's eyes narrowed, but he did not step forward. The Pill Tribulation was the tribulation of the Medicinal Pill, and also a test that the Alchemist must face alone! If others intervened, the tribulation would only increase manifold!

Just as the first bolt of purple Heavenly Lightning, as thick as a water bucket and containing a destructive Aura, tore through the clouds and, with a roar that could shatter the Divine Soul, struck violently toward the Nine-Turn Golden Core!

A figure moved faster than lightning!

There was no fear in Yao Delong's eyes; instead, an astonishing Battle Intent and ecstasy erupted!

He flashed, appearing above the Golden Core as if teleporting. Instead of dodging, he spread his arms and, with his own flesh and blood, brazenly met the world-destroying purple thunder!

"Well come! I shall use this Heavenly Lightning to temper my Dao body and forge my supreme Physical Body!"

Boom—!!!

The blinding lightning instantly swallowed Yao Delong's figure completely!

The violent power of the thunder surged wildly into his limbs and bones, tearing at his Meridians and scorching his flesh and blood!

"Ah—!"

Yao Delong let out a long howl, a mix of pain and pleasure!

He circulated the "Great Sun Body Forging Art," and the Qi and blood within his body roared like an angry Dragon. His Origin Power circulated wildly, and faint golden patterns appeared on his skin, forcibly locking and refining the destructive thunder power that had invaded his body!

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

The lightning leaped and flickered on his skin. With every flicker, it took away a trace of Impurities, tempering his bones, skin, and membranes, and his internal organs!

His Aura, amidst the intersection of destruction and rebirth, actually began to climb and condense at a terrifying speed!

"He... he is actually using the Pill Lightning Tribulation for Body Refining?!"

"A madman! Simply a madman!"

"What... what a strong Physical Body! What an overbearing Cultivation Technique!"

Everyone was stunned by Yao Delong's crazy actions!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The second, the third... even more powerful Heavenly Lightning bolts struck down one after another! Each one was thicker and more terrifying than the last!

Yao Delong's figure was swallowed by the lightning again and again, yet he stood tall in the lightning again and again! His body was charred black, his clothes were shredded, but his eyes grew brighter, and his Aura became more and more overbearing!

That destructive Heavenly Lightning seemed to have become his best whetstone!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The fourth, fifth, and sixth Heavenly Lightning bolts, each one thicker and more terrifying than the last!

Purple electricity danced wildly, silver snakes tore through the sky, and the destructive Aura made the entire Pill Cloud Peak tremble!

Yao Delong's figure was completely swallowed by the violent lightning again and again, like a small boat in a raging sea!

Every time the lightning exploded, it was accompanied by his irrepressible groans and the cracking sound of his bones and muscles being forcibly tempered!

His body was charred black, his skin split open, and the blood that seeped out was evaporated by the thunder, leaving behind hideous and terrifying charred marks.

However, the "Great Sun Body Forging Art" operating within his body was like a furnace that never extinguished, his Qi and blood roaring like an angry Dragon, his Origin Power surging like a river!

That destructive Heavenly Lightning power was forcibly locked in his body by his supreme will, frantically scouring every inch of his bones, every Meridian, and every acupoint!

Since he underwent the Golden Core Stage tribulation, he had discovered that the "Great Sun Glazed Body" formed by the "Great Sun Body Forging Art" had an astonishing affinity and devouring nature toward lightning!

Every time Heavenly Lightning tempered his body, it was like a divine weapon being forged a thousand times, causing his Physical Body to undergo a qualitative leap!

And at this moment, the power of this seventh-tier Pill Lightning Tribulation had faintly reached the might of his Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation!

"Not enough! Still not enough!"

Yao Delong roared in the lightning; he could feel that the ordinary lightning power was beginning to have a diminishing effect on him now!

Only this more violent, purer Pill Lightning, which contained a trace of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, could truly shake his formidable Dao body, which had reached the limit of the Nascent Soul Stage!

When the seventh bolt of Heavenly Lightning, red as blood and carrying an Aura that could incinerate all things, tore through the clouds and struck down like a world-destroying blood spear, the destructive pressure made countless Disciples below turn pale, almost suffocating!

"Come!"

The Battle Intent in Yao Delong's eyes burned to the extreme, but he no longer met it head-on! With a thought!

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Five sword hums, each of a different color but equally sharp and peerless, rang through the sky!

Red Sun, Profound Nether, Azure Wood, Geng Metal, Thick Earth! The five Life-Bound Flying Swords transformed into five heaven-shocking rainbows, instantly intertwining and circling above his head, forming a huge Five Elements sword wheel that was endless and ever-flowing!
