703: Refining the elixir

"Martial Aunt Bai," Yao Delong said, putting away the jade boxes, his voice returning to a calm tone. "With your Foundation, you can now consume this god-shattering pill and go into seclusion. If all goes well, a Breakthrough to the Perfected Spirit Transformation Stage will be natural. When I achieve a Breakthrough to the Void Refining stage, I will come to find you and help you ascend to the next level."

After speaking, without waiting for Bai Lengchan's response, his figure flickered, turning into a streak of golden light that tore through the sky, speeding towards Luoxia Peak.

Bai Lengchan stared blankly at the golden light disappearing into the horizon, clutching the warm jade bottle in her hand, her heart filled with mixed emotions. There was shock, embarrassment, and disbelief, but in the end, an unprecedented determination surged in her heart!

'He... perhaps he truly is my only Opportunity!'

No longer hesitating, she turned and transformed into a white rainbow, rushing towards her own secluded Immortal Cave.

At Yao Delong's Immortal Cave on Luoxia Peak. Lin Qingxue and Luo Yan were still in their respective quiet rooms consolidating their cultivation, with spiritual light circulating around their bodies; clearly, they had gained immense benefits.

Yao Delong did not disturb them and went straight to the core Alchemy Secret Chamber.

He brought out the mountain river sun moon cauldron again, and an ancient aura permeated the space. Yao Delong sat cross-legged before the cauldron, eyes slightly closed, circulating the "Sunset Glow Illuminating Yin-Yang Art". The pure Yin and Yang energy within his body flowed slowly like the tides, adjusting his essence, energy, and spirit to the most perfect Peak state.

Although he had successfully refined the eighth-rank Peak nine aperture spirit nurturing pill, the void refining pill concerned the success or failure of his own Breakthrough; he could not afford the slightest carelessness and had to pursue perfect quality!

Half a day later, Yao Delong suddenly opened his eyes! Within his pupils, a flash of Chaos divine light flickered and vanished. "Rise!" he shouted in a low voice. He did not employ the stunning method of generating fire from the Void Realm as he had before. Facing the eighth-rank High Grade void refining pill, he chose a more secure method!

Hum! A mass of colorful, shifting, and strange flames emitting nine distinct and profound auras rose from Yao Delong's palm! Glazed Hearth Fire! A divine fire obtained from the Pill Venerable Secret Realm! Containing the power of the nine basic Laws—metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, Yin, and Yang—it could be called a supreme divine object for any Alchemist!

Once this fire appeared, the temperature in the Secret Chamber did not skyrocket; instead, it was filled with a strange dao rhyme that harmonized all things and nourished spirituality!

"Refine!" Yao Delong's expression was solemn. His hands formed profound Alchemy techniques as he began to cast the precious Spirit Medicine, each portion capable of causing a storm of blood in the outside world, into the cauldron according to the Pill Formula.

The Glazed Hearth Fire gently licked the ingredients, perfectly refining the Impurities while preserving all the essence. The three most important main ingredients were added! The thousand-year Void Realm spirit-focusing grass transformed into a stable Void Realm Foundation! The two extremes yin-yang fruit transformed into the intertwined Yin and Yang energy! The black tortoise true spirit essence blood transformed into a majestic Origin of life and defense!

Countless auxiliary materials merged, and under the exquisite calcination of the Glazed divine fire, the medicinal liquid in the cauldron churned, gradually condensing into a Chaos-colored prototype of the pill, emitting energy fluctuations that made one's heart palpitate!

Time passed quietly in the focused refinement. A full half-month! On this day, over Luoxia Peak, which had been silent for half a month, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared!

Boom!!! A pressure ten, a hundred times more terrifying than the one at Spirit Plant Peak descended with a roar! The sky over the entire Yin Yang Sect instantly turned as dark as ink! The heavy tribulation cloud, which seemed as if it would crush the earth, gathered crazily, shrouding the entire Luoxia Peak!

Within the clouds, it was no longer eight colors, but—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, silver, gold, black, white! Eleven colors of destructive lightning were roaring and condensing crazily! The terrifying power made the space within a thousand miles tremble violently!

Countless low-level Disciples were unable to breathe under the pressure, their faces showing terror! Eleven-colored Pill Lightning! Its power was comparable to a full-strength strike from a Late Void Refining Stage expert!

"Eleven-colored Pill Lightning?!" Inside the main hall of Luoxia Peak, Peak Master Leng Yuekui suddenly looked up towards the direction of the Secret Chamber at the Peak, her illusory face filled with shock! "This kid... is refining a void refining pill?!"

The entire Yin Yang Sect was alarmed! "Heavens! Eleven-colored Pill Lightning! In the direction of Luoxia Peak!" "Who is refining pills?! This... this power is too terrifying! Could it be Dan Chenzi?" "Luoxia Peak? It must be True Disciple Yao! Only he has this ability!" "Chief Yao?! So that's it! No wonder the Dao Artifact didn't choose Senior Brother Yao; it wasn't that he wasn't qualified, it was that the Dao Artifact was blind!" "The Senior Brother who returned from the Pill Venerable Secret Realm said that Chief Yao was first in all three rounds of the Alchemy assessment, crowning him above all!" "Hiss... so True Disciple Yao is the true leader of the Alchemy path! He can summon eleven-colored Pill Lightning with a casual wave!"

In the core area of the Sect, Sect Head White Cloud Master stood with his hands behind his back on the clouds, watching the heart-palpitating eleven-colored thundercloud at the top of Luoxia Peak. His aged face revealed a smile of immense gratification and admiration: "Good! Good lad! It's one thing that his cultivation and combat power are Heaven-Defying, but even his Alchemy path has reached such a stage! To be able to summon eleven-colored Pill Lightning... this child shall be the one favored by the ten-thousand-year Luck of my Yin Yang Sect!"

Just as everyone was speculating how Yao Delong would deal with this world-destroying eleven-colored Pill Lightning, and whether he would use the Dao Artifact immortal slaying dark kite—Boom!!! A terrifying lightning pillar, thick as a mountain and containing the power of eleven destructive Laws, tore through the firmament. Carrying a world-destroying will, it struck fiercely towards the top of Luoxia Peak! Wherever it passed, the Void Realm shattered inch by inch!

"Well come!" A clear, resounding roar came from the Secret Chamber at the top of Luoxia Peak! Immediately after, under the gaze of countless terrified eyes, a tall, upright figure ignored the roof of the Secret Chamber and soared into the sky! There was no light from any Magic Treasure around his body; he was bare-handed, his clothes fluttering, like a god or demon acting against the heavens! It was Yao Delong!

Facing the eleven-colored divine lightning—which was enough to severely injure or even kill a Late Void Refining Stage expert—Yao Delong's eyes showed no fear; instead, they erupted with astonishing Battle Intent! He did not dodge or evade, nor did he use his powerful Physical Body strength to resist; instead, he suddenly opened his arms! Boom! The lightning pillar slammed solidly onto his undefended body!

Zzzzt—! Violent electric snakes instantly engulfed him! However, the expected charring and cracking did not appear! Suddenly, a layer of dazzling golden radiance lit up on Yao Delong's body surface! Beneath his skin, it seemed as if billions of tiny golden runes were circulating and shining! The destructive lightning, which was enough to tear apart refined gold, seemed to have collided with an ancient divine mountain; it couldn't even make his figure sway!

The destructive energy impact on his skin, which was flowing with immortal golden light, only sparked a layer of tiny electric sparks before being easily neutralized and absorbed by the surging, vast, and extremely Yang-strong power, like a clay ox entering the sea! Great Sun Sacred Body! A terrifying Physical Body cultivated to the Major Achievement Realm of the "Great Sun Body Forging Art"! Its defensive power had long surpassed that of an ordinary Void Refinement Mid-stage!

"Too weak." Yao Delong felt the impact, which felt like scratching an itch through a boot, and shook his head slightly. He had originally intended to use this Pill Lightning to further refine his Physical Body and see if he could push the Sacred Body to a higher level.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The tribulation cloud seemed to be enraged; the second, third, and fourth eleven-colored divine lightning bolts, thicker and containing stronger Law power, struck down one after another! The power progressed layer by layer, finally reaching a point where it could barely threaten an Early Void Refining Stage expert!
