Buzz buzz buzz~
Amidst the countless serpents of lightning, a black sun swelled in size, expanding until it was as large as a house, hovering in the sky, blazing with overwhelming might.
Whoosh~
Black flames surged, sweeping away all the surrounding lightning serpents. The collapse of the first bolt of thunder did not shake the tribulation clouds above.
Crackle~
Almost instantly, the second thunderbolt followed close behind, tearing apart the void as it struck down. Right after that, the third thunderbolt had already finished brewing, poised to descend.
In that moment.
Rumble rumble~
The roar of thunder filled the heavens without pause.
One thunderbolt after another, as though endless, frantically rained down from the sky, colliding with Du Jiao's fists. Violent waves of energy and lightning serpents swept across the air without end.
The raging thunder even split the void apart, collapsing it into a massive black pit that emanated a terrifying force of spatial rending. And right at the center of that void vortex stood Du Jiao and the Death Life Flame.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After stepping into Dou Zun, Du Jiao's brute strength had become even more terrifying. With a wild and unmatched stance, his fists hammered down one blow after another, blasting apart thunderbolts.
His body, bathed constantly in thunder's baptism, seemed to only grow stronger the longer the fight went on.
Standing at the very core of the spatial vortex, enduring the tearing force of the void, he didn't budge in the slightest.
This scene, falling into Ah Da's eyes, made him smack his lips uncontrollably, sighing, "This idiot… what a monstrous body!"
After stepping into Dou Zun, Du Jiao's physique seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation, frighteningly strong.
One had to know, each of these thunderbolts was enough to heavily wound a peak Dou Zong, and even a One-Star Dou Zun would have to face them with extreme caution.
Yet nearly a hundred thunderbolts had crashed down, and not a single one managed to break through Du Jiao's fists to land properly. Every last one was blasted apart midair.
And above, the three-colored thunderclouds had now thinned to the point they could scarcely release more lightning.
Finally, after brewing for a moment—
Crackle~
Rumble rumble~
A deafening roar erupted as the final thunderbolt descended. That three-colored thundercloud, as if unwilling, began collapsing, then completely dissipated into nothing.
The sky returned to clarity once more.
Moonlight poured down again, blanketing the valley.
In midair—
A purple-azure pill spun joyfully, bouncing about as though celebrating its survival of the tribulation. A faint aura of delight could be sensed radiating from its plump, round body.
As it tumbled about, wisps of purple-azure energy surged forth, circling around it, actually condensing into a chubby little bear.
The bear was adorably round, its body suffused with hazy purple-azure light, a tuft of white fur clearly visible on its chest.
The little bear suddenly lowered its head, its round eyes darting about, and secretly glanced at Wei Yang.
Immediately after, its two stubby hind legs began to move rapidly, like tiny wind-and-fire wheels, as it bolted away at lightning speed in one direction.
Clearly, this intelligent little bear also knew that the man below, though its creator, was no good person.
He had only created it for the sake of devouring it.
It wasn't stupid enough to stay here.
Time to run~
Watching this scene, Wei Yang couldn't help but chuckle, yet he didn't move at all.
Xian'er, however, let out a soft laugh, her graceful figure flickering as she vanished from her spot.
The very next moment—
Ahead of the fleeing bear, the void suddenly rippled with waves. Then, a slender jade-like hand reached out, lightly pinching the back of the little bear's neck, and easily lifted it up.
Roar roar~
The little bear immediately howled, its four short legs kicking about wildly.
Xian'er's figure stepped out from the ripples, holding the chubby bear up, studying it curiously. Then, with her other hand, she gently tapped the little fellow's head with her finger, letting out a playful laugh, "Be good, don't struggle, or else… hmph hmph."
With that soft, mock-threatening hum—far from intimidating—she shifted her jade-like feet, her figure flashing as she descended into the valley.
As soon as Xian'er returned to the rocky forest—
"Big Sister Xian'er, let me see!" Qing Lin hurriedly ran over.
Taking the chubby bear from Xian'er's hand and holding it in her arms, Qing Lin's eyes sparkled with little stars, "Wow, what an adorable little bear!"
Hugging the chubby little bear, she simply couldn't put it down, her hands even restlessly giving it little squeezes.
Even Xian'er, who was always calm and indifferent, couldn't help but glance over again and again, her hands feeling a little itchy, wanting to pinch something too.
The little bear, meanwhile, rolled its eyes around and put on a pitiful expression, which only made the two women's hearts overflow with affection.
After a short while.
Qing Lin reluctantly carried the little bear over to Wei Yang, handing it to him and whispering softly, "Young master."
Wei Yang withdrew his gaze from the sky, glanced at the bear, and reached out to grab it.
With a light squeeze of his hand, the chubby bear quietly dissolved, turning into a dense purple-azure mist, which flowed back into the pill.
The pill lay in Wei Yang's palm, its surface flickering with purple-azure light, looking quite pitiful, almost as if it were begging him for mercy.
Seeing this, the two women silently turned their eyes away, unwilling to look at the pill.
In their hearts, they also understood clearly, no matter how much spirituality it had, in the end it was still just a pill!
And pills, once refined, were destined to be eaten.
Wei Yang pinched the purple-azure pill between two fingers, carefully examining it in front of his eyes.
After a moment, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, "Not bad, to think my very first successful refinement of a Tier 8 pill actually drew down a three-colored Pill Lightning."
This was already considered extremely well. The grading of Tier 8 pills was very strict.
Their quality could no longer be judged by mere appearance, but rather by the number of colors in the thunderclouds summoned when the pill formed.
The lowest quality would draw a two-colored Pill Lightning, then three-colored, four-colored, all the way up to nine-colored.
The first five colors of the thunderclouds were green, silver, red, gold, and purple.
The higher the pill's quality, the more colors the thunderclouds would display, and the stronger its spirituality.
Some pills would even display the phenomenon of Pill Qi condensing into spirit, with the Pill Qi forming beast shapes according to the quality.
As for the top-grade Tier 8 pills that summoned an eight-colored or nine-colored thunderclouds, they could even transform into physical Pill Beasts.
Such Pill Beasts lived on pills, preferring to consume Tier 6 and below pills. Within that range, the higher the pill's quality, the more they loved it.
Moreover, if properly fed, a Pill Beast might one day even advance to the level of a Tier 9 pill.
The one in Wei Yang's hand, however, was only three-colored, able to condense Pill Qi into spirit but not a true Pill Beast.
Purple Azure Supreme Pill!
That was the name of this Tier 8 pill.
Wei Yang didn't have many Tier 8 prescriptions in hand, only a few.
And this Purple Azure Supreme Pill's formula, along with most of the ingredients for it, had all come from Bing He's spatial ring.
This was a pill that, once consumed, could allow a Dou Zun expert to have an extremely high chance, with almost no side effects, of successfully advancing one star!
Its value was beyond imagination.
For a Dou Zun, even if one's talent was not yet exhausted, it usually required several years, even more than a decade, to advance a single star.
As for those Dou Zun whose talent was exhausted, without some extraordinary opportunity, they might never advance another star in their entire lifetime. Yet this Purple Azure Supreme Pill could allow a Dou Zun to advance a star!
Of course, a Dou Zun could only take one in their lifetime. Taking it again afterward would have no effect.
Furthermore, the Purple Azure Supreme Pill was only effective for normal One-Star to Nine-Star Dou Zun. For those who had already stepped into the Nine Changes realm of Dou Zun, it was useless.
But, this did not diminish the pill's value in the slightest. This was a pill that countless Dou Zun experts would be willing to fight to the death to obtain.
