126: Chapter 126 Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Emerges

Above the eight trigrams furnace, the space shattered.

The Tushita Palace Ruins had become a chaotic mess; the surroundings were unnaturally silent, with only the aura of destruction quietly spreading.

Black tribulation clouds pressed in from all directions, large enough to obscure the entire wreckage of the palace.

That was the wrath of the Heavenly Dao.

"Boom-crack!"

A thick, purple-cyan bolt of lightning slithered through the clouds; a single spark it emitted blasted a distant, star-sized fragment of land into powder.

The oppressive force of destruction descended, making the bones of everyone present tremble.

"It's over, it's over, it's over... everything is over..."

Dan Lingzi's phantom image curled up inside the tattered Pill Furnace, shaking so hard it was about to fall apart.

He screamed incoherently in Li Xuan's mind.

"Dad! Dear Dad! Ancestor! This fucking isn't a pill tribulation! It's a Heavenly Punishment!"

"The Heavenly Dao wants us dead!"

"When the Old Master refined the nine-turn golden pill, compared to this, that pill tribulation was nothing but bullshit. This lightning? Even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal would lose a layer of skin if they took it head-on!"

"The pill isn't even formed yet, and we're about to be blasted into slag! Run, Dad! As long as the green hills remain, we can take the little ancestor and flee; let's abandon this furnace of pills!"

Dan Lingzi was frantic.

The only way to survive was to run.

Immediately.

Right now.

But Li Xuan, who was at the center of the Heavenly Tribulation, acted as if nothing was wrong.

He held his newborn son, Li Dansheng, in one arm, while teasing the baby's cheek with the other.

Li Dansheng, in his arms, seemed to sense the violent energy outside; instead of being afraid, he thought it was beautiful fireworks, giggling and reaching his small hands toward the sky, wanting to grab that purple-cyan lightning Dragon.

This pair, one big and one small, were completely out of place with the surrounding scene of destruction.

Dan Lingzi watched this father and son who treated the Heavenly Tribulation like fireworks, and his furnace-life worldview was completely overturned.

Was he crazy?

Or was I crazy?

"A mere pill tribulation, and you dare to be presumptuous in front of my son?"

Li Xuan finally spoke.

He glanced at the tribulation clouds above, as if looking at something unworthy of mention.

His next action made Dan Lingzi's soul fly away in terror.

Li Xuan held the baby with one hand, raised the other, and gently pointed his index finger at the tribulation clouds.

There was no explosion of Immortal Qi.

There was no divine light of Law.

He spoke two words in a very flat tone.

"Disperse."

Heaven and Earth suddenly fell silent.

Dan Lingzi's screaming, the trembling of space, the roaring of thunder—everything stopped.

Dan Lingzi was stunned.

The terrifying tribulation clouds in the sky, upon hearing those two words, actually trembled violently.

The violent purple-cyan lightning Dragon's will to destroy disintegrated, turning into fear.

Its massive body rapidly shrank and disappeared.

One second it was arrogant beyond belief, the next it withered; that massive tribulation cloud was truly dispersing.

It wasn't broken up by external force.

It was active, obedient, even carrying a hint of fawning as it disappeared on its own.

The clouds parted.

The mist cleared.

It took no more than a breath.

The sky above the Tushita Palace, which had just been experiencing an apocalypse, returned to clarity.

If not for the lingering scent of destruction in the air, Dan Lingzi would have truly thought he had a nightmare.

"Th-this... this... this..."

Dan Lingzi was completely dumbfounded.

Will Manifests as Law?

No.

This was even more bizarre than Will Manifests as Law.

This was treating the Heavenly Dao Law like a dog, telling it who to bite.

What kind of monster was this cheap "Dad"?

Dan Lingzi was still in deep shock when the eight trigrams furnace finally ceased its vibration.

"Hum!"

A crisp pill chime spread in all directions.

The furnace lid clattered and flew up on its own.

Nine streaks of purple-gold light shot up into the sky from the Pill Furnace!

Each streak of light wrapped around a pill the size of a longan, round and smooth.

The Medicinal Pill was purple-gold, its surface flowing with galaxies, with nine golden lines circling it; every time it rotated, scenes of worlds being born and destroyed flashed by.

A refreshing pill fragrance spread out, centered on the eight trigrams furnace!

Dan Lingzi only took one whiff, and his nearly dissipated spiritual body solidified significantly; even the tiny cracks on the tattered furnace body began to self-repair!

A Golden Immortal heavenly general following Li Xuan was swept by the afterwave of the pill fragrance; his Bottleneck, stuck for thousands of years, loosened on the spot, and the Immortal Qi in his body roared!

"nine-turn golden pill! It really is a nine-turn golden pill!"

Dan Lingzi watched the nine Divine Pills floating in the sky, his voice trembling.

Such a divine object, just one would be enough to make a Taiyi Golden Immortal risk their life, and now, there were nine whole ones here!

He'd hit the jackpot!

This time, he'd really hit the jackpot!

However, Dan Lingzi hadn't even had the chance to step forward and suck up.

Suddenly, an anomaly occurred!

A greedy and tyrannical Divine Thought crossed the Void Realm and descended fiercely!

The owner of this Divine Thought had a cultivation far exceeding a Golden Immortal, and that terrifying pressure locked onto the nine nine-turn golden pills in mid-air.

"Hahahaha! Unexpectedly, in this shitty place, someone could actually refine the legendary nine-turn golden pill! Heaven is helping me!"

An old, overbearing voice exploded in everyone's minds.

"Rip!"

The space above was rudely torn open a large gash by a tremendous force!

A massive cyan hand, condensed purely from Immortal Qi, reached out from the pitch-black crack, heading straight to grab the nine nine-turn golden pills!

This was a Taiyi Golden Immortal Old Ancestor attracted by the phenomena of the Golden Core!

He not only wanted to snatch the pills but also harbored the intention to kill everyone to silence them.

"Ants, being able to refine such Divine Pills for this seat is your honor! Now, die in peace! My secrets do not need living people to know them!"

Under the massive cyan hand, space shattered layer by layer, intending to erase Li Xuan, along with the furnace, the pills, and even the entire Tushita Palace Ruins!

Dan Lingzi's spiritual body, at this moment, became illusory again, and the hope that had just risen turned into despair.

Just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth.

This luck was truly something else.

"Seeking death."

Facing the sure-kill strike of the Taiyi Golden Immortal, Li Xuan's expression remained normal.

He handed the little one in his arms, who was curiously watching the massive cyan hand, to a Golden Immortal heavenly general nearby who was too terrified by the pressure to move.

"Take care of him."

As soon as his voice fell, the terrifying pressure on that heavenly general that could crush a Primordial Spirit instantly vanished.

After finishing all this, Li Xuan turned around and looked up at the massive cyan hand.

He used no Magic Treasure.

He used no Divine Ability.

He just raised his right hand, fingers closed together, and casually threw a punch at the massive cyan hand.

This punch seemed slow, but it seemed to span the barriers of time and space.

On the tip of the fist, a wisp of gray Chaos Qi flashed and disappeared.

Li Xuan's fist collided with the massive cyan hand.

There was no explosion.

There was no storm.

Where the fist reached, the massive cyan hand dissolved on the spot, unable to even hold out for a moment.

In the blink of an eye, the massive hand turned into dots of cyan light, disappearing without a trace.

Li Xuan retracted his fist, stood with his hands behind his back, his figure as steady as a rock.

"Hiss..."

In the distance, Dan Lingzi and that heavenly general nearly had their jaws drop to the ground.

That was the full-power strike of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Just like that... one punch... and it's gone?

"Pfft!"

Behind the space crack, a muffled groan came, clearly the Taiyi Golden Immortal who launched the sneak attack had suffered a backlash.

After a brief silence, monstrous fury erupted from behind the crack!

"Brat! Who exactly are you! How dare you destroy my Dharma Image!"

That old voice was filled with shock and rage.

"Boom!"

The space crack was torn open, and a figure in Daoist robes, wreathed in a cyan storm and exuding the aura of a Taiyi Golden Immortal at Perfection, stepped out.

He stared fixedly at Li Xuan; when he sensed that Li Xuan's aura was only at the early Middle Stage of Taiyi, the shock on his face turned into humiliation, and his killing intent almost solidified.

"Good! Good! Good! I want to see just what kind of heaven-reaching ability you, this junior, possess!"

The Taiyi pressure, several times stronger than before, pressed down again!

This time, the enraged old monster was going to get serious!
