Chapter 48 - Chapter 48: Soul Power Devoured Second Tribulation of Lightning

That old man is trying to forcibly advance to a ninth grade Gold Pill.

Staring up at the terrifying golden lightning in the sky Hun Miesheng finally understood what the old man was attempting to do.

Ninefold Mystic Gold Lightning

This was the power of the heavenly rules that descended only when a ninth grade Gold Pill was being formed.

At that moment the core of the swirling medicinal mist began to rotate more rapidly All of the pill energy within it was swiftly converging.

The soul force of the Danta old ancestor had not dispersed as expected Rather it was converging at the very center of the forming pill drawing in the surrounding heavenly energy to reconsolidate the pill anew.

Boom boom boom boom

A string of explosive pops echoed as the eighth and ninth grade pills held by the Grand Elder of the Little Pill Tower burst one after another All of their potent medicinal energy surged toward the mist gathering over Holy Pill City.

The exact same phenomenon was occurring across the entire city wherever powerful pills were stored.

More and more pills and strands of heavenly energy streamed into the sky Thickening the cloud of pill mist until it condensed into droplets of spiritual fog.

Buzzing sounds echoed ominously

A terrifying soul force was pulling all this pure natural energy inward collapsing it toward the center A brilliant golden pill slowly began to form amid the thunderous sky.

Boom

Boom

Above the heavens the golden lightning dragon roared in agitation growing increasingly violent as if ready to strike at any moment.

Every living creature within a thousand li felt the unmistakable pressure of dread and unease.

This was the power of the heavenly laws.

We cannot allow him to advance but we must let him advance.

Hun Miesheng spoke the contradictory truth.

Quick extract his soul force right now.

Several Hall of Souls guardians stepped forward Their chains clinking as they shot toward the center of the mist.

Boom

Back

But before they could react a thumb thick streak of golden lightning descended from the clouds above.

Its terrifying force struck the two guardians instantly reducing them to ash without even giving them a chance to scream.

The remaining Hall of Souls members retreated in fear.

So external interference is forbidden.

Hun Miesheng gazed up at the Ninefold Mystic Gold Lightning above and exhaled slowly.

All of you stand back

He gave a cold snort and waved his sleeve dismissing everyone.

He could not allow the old man to succeed in his advancement If he did the man's strength would grow too powerful and capturing him again would be impossible.

Boom

Another finger thick arc of golden lightning came crashing down from the sky.

But lightning of this level can still do nothing to me.

Hun Miesheng clenched his fist A vast surge of energy gathered within.

With one punch he shattered the golden lightning

A tingling current spread into his body Part of the residual energy seeped into him.

Just as he was about to call upon the power of his chaotic purple qi a joyful thunderous echo resounded from within his body.

The sixth grade Thunder Spirit had awakened ahead of time swallowing the residual power of the lightning and sending back its urgent desire

Perfect I'll use this lightning force to push the Thunder Spirit to evolve.

After dispersing a second bolt of golden lightning Hun Miesheng arrived at the very heart of the mist.

There a transparent soul form and a golden pill were both rapidly condensing The massive golden lightning dragon above looked as if it could strike at any moment.

Hun Miesheng sneered Black chains flew out in every direction sweeping toward the soul form wrapped inside the mist.

As long as he extracted the man's soul form everything would be over.

Just as the chains were about to pierce the soul

The entire space began to buzz and tremble

A vast and overwhelming soul force surged out like the tides of the ocean

The chains shattered into fragments

That oppressive soul force rushed toward Hun Miesheng pressing against him with such intensity that even his own perfected heavenly realm soul power felt small and powerless

This is

A soul force on the verge of the Sovereign Realm

Purple black flames erupted around him forming a barrier of fire just strong enough to block the onslaught

Even so Hun Miesheng's face turned pale

He was completely restrained by that pressure

If not for his strange flame the sheer force of that soul energy would have left him gravely wounded

Burning your very life source to forcibly raise your soul force just to break through to the ninth grade Gold Pill

Even if you succeed you won't live much longer

Hun Miesheng gave a cold sneer

To sacrifice one man to save millions within this city

To die is still an honor

The aged voice rang out as if spoken by a transcendent being untouched by worldly desires

As his words fell the mist collapsed toward its center and the golden pill glowed brighter still

Mysterious golden pill markings began to appear on the surface of the pill

The heavens churned Above the clouds the lightning dragon roared and slowly pushed its head through the thunderclouds

Hun Miesheng let out a slow breath

Your resolve is admirable

What a pity

Victory and defeat are the only truths of this world

Power surged around him His robes flared violently His pupils darkened into a deep violet

Buzz

Buzz

Buzz

Buzz

Countless threads of violet energy shot out of his body weaving themselves into a net that rapidly covered the entire area

Even the Sovereignlevel soul force could do nothing to stop it Instead it began to tremble in fear

How is this possible

For the first time the Danta old ancestor's face changed completely

A soul force just a step away from Sovereign Realm should have been unrivaled

Yet against these violet threads it was utterly defenseless

Refine

Hun Miesheng growled lowly

The Chaotic Devouring Art began to operate A mysterious and mighty force surged out Devouring the vast soul force like a whale swallowing the sea

Half step Sovereign

Late Heavenly Realm

Early Heavenly Realm

Late Spirit Realm

Peak Mortal Realm

Within the time of a few dozen breaths nearly all of the soul energy had been consumed

Boom

The soul form of the Danta old ancestor became unstable Half of his incorporeal body exploded violently

Rebound from the secret art

How did you do it

Despair finally appeared in the old man's eyes He gave a long sorrowful sigh

High above the clouds the lightning dragon slowly withdrew The layered storm clouds gradually began to disperse

He had lost

Victory and defeat That was all that remained

Hun Miesheng's face was pale now too The massive influx of soul force had pushed his spiritual sea to its absolute limit

Still he smiled

You were simply unlucky to have encountered me

Crack

Black chains flew through the air The Danta old ancestor's soul form was pierced cleanly

Ah

He let out a final sigh and his expression softened as if released from all burdens

Then he dissipated completely

The golden pill lost its spiritual will Without a soul force to bind the energy of heaven and earth it began to crack apart

Hun Miesheng shifted his gaze toward it

Things are not over yet

Outside the mist the rest of the world remained unaware of what had taken place within the golden lightning field formed by the Ninefold Mystic Gold Lightning

They could only wait

The thunderclouds are clearing

Someone pointed upward The once thick storm clouds were gradually breaking apart as if the skies were finally clearing

So the Hall Master won

No wait

Suddenly the dissipating clouds converged again Growing darker and denser as they stretched outward covering thousands of li

The booming thunder returned louder than ever as if determined to destroy the very heavens and earth

This is a second tribulation of lightning
