The black flame pillar shot straight into the heavens, piercing high into the sky. Above, a cloud was forcibly shattered, then quickly evaporated into nothingness.
Around the black flame pillar, the very space began to collapse as it could not withstand the pressure. Terrifying ripples of energy spread outward in waves, passing far into the distance.
In that instant, within a thousand-li radius of the valley's center, everything fell into dead silence.
Countless magic beasts trembled violently beneath this power that descended like heavenly might. Panic filled their hearts, as though they had fallen into the end of days.
The energy fluctuations were so clear and obvious that even those thousands of li away could sense them distinctly.
Wei Yang lifted his head to look at the sky, his eyes narrowing slightly as he muttered, "Compared to the Purple Azure Supreme Pill that summoned three-colored Pill Lightning before, this is clearly much stronger. I just don't know how many colors this one will finally draw down."
As soon as his voice faded, at the end of the towering flame pillar, strange mist rapidly began condensing. Not long after, it gradually formed into the shape of thunderclouds.
Ah Da immediately held his breath slightly. Wei Yang licked his somewhat dry lips, his gaze fixed firmly on the churning clouds above.
On the other side, at the valley's perimeter, Du Jiao and the trembling Black Demon Ape also lifted their heads, staring upward. Under their gaze, the thunderclouds surged, and soon two colors appeared—azure and silver.
"Thunderclouds… it's the legendary thunderclouds, two-colored thunderclouds!" The Black Demon Ape muttered in shock.
The clouds kept surging, and after the azure and silver, a streak of crimson appeared.
"Three colors!"
Yet, it didn't stop there.
High above in the distant heavens, the tri-colored thunderclouds continued roiling without pause, until suddenly a golden light burst forth.
"Master, it's four colors!" Ah Da couldn't help but cry out.
Wei Yang narrowed his eyes, staring at that dazzling golden light without speaking, but his fists clenched tightly.
Four colors still weren't enough.
After pouring in so much effort and energy, four colors alone did not meet his expectations. The golden brilliance grew even brighter under Ah Da's excited gaze, until eventually it rivaled the three-colored thunderclouds before it.
Four colors shone together.
But when the golden light fully appeared, what Ah Da thought was the end left him dumbfounded—because the thunderclouds didn't stop rolling!
"This… could it be!" Ah Da could hardly believe it.
Originally, he thought that just reaching four colors would already be plenty satisfying.
But from the looks of it, the thunderclouds showed that the energy of the Pill Lightning had yet to stabilize!
Which meant something else was still brewing within them. What else could this be, if not a surprise?!
The thunderclouds continued to roll. Within a radius of thousands of li centered on the valley, every living being fell into eerie silence.
Countless gazes looked up at the sky—some terrified, some trembling, some burning hot, some full of shocked joy—all locked onto the churning thunderclouds.
Suddenly, an incomparably terrifying aura of thunder surged forth, spreading across the heavens.
"Good!" The moment that thunderous might appeared, Wei Yang clapped his hands together, laughing.
From above, the rolling thunderclouds slowly stilled. After a brief pause, the clouds surged again, and a strand of purple light burst through like divine radiance piercing the void.
It quietly broke through the layers of cloud, dyeing part of the thunderclouds a faint violet.
With the appearance of purple, the thunderclouds officially transformed into Five-Colored Pill Lightning!
"Master, five colors, its five colors!" Ah Da shouted, his voice trembling with excitement.
His whole body shook slightly from exhilaration.
Never mind these hundreds of years of decline—even during his peak, he had only witnessed Five-Colored Pill Lightning a handful of times!
This was five colors!
A legendary existence!
To put it bluntly, even at his peak he could never have afforded a pill of this level, having only seen it once or twice in his life.
Let alone now, in his fallen state, to actually rely on such a pill to be revived. That was something he wouldn't even have dared to dream about before.
Hu~
With the Five-Colored Pill Lightning formed, Wei Yang finally let out a long breath, the tension in his nerves loosening completely.
He swayed his head slightly, his face pale, a faint dizziness washing over him. That final over-limit empowerment earlier had indeed placed a heavy burden on him.
Now that the Five-Colored Pill Lightning had fully formed, Wei Yang's expression grew solemn once more.
What lay ahead for them now, was the trial of facing this Five-Colored Pill Lightning.
When it comes to alchemy, imbuing a pill with spirit feels great in the moment, but when it comes time to face the pill tribulation lightning, that's when the real headache begins.
Five-colored Pill Lightning, its power is no joke.
This Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill was far too heaven-defying, drawing upon the might of heaven and earth itself, as if determined to annihilate it.
If they failed to withstand it, the pill would be completely destroyed by the tribulation lightning. Thus, refining it successfully wasn't enough, protecting the pill was also considered the final trial.
With each additional color, the power of the Pill Lightning doubled.
This kind of five-colored Pill Lightning, even an ordinary Three-Star Dou Zun would need to treat with utmost caution.
Normally, when Tier 8 alchemists refined a pill, they would summon many helpers to assist in resisting the tribulation lightning.
After all, most alchemists weren't adept at battle. Even those who were, after finishing the refinement, would usually be in a weakened state.
And anyone capable of producing a Tier 8 pill would naturally have countless strong experts eager to guard them, so they never worried about finding helpers to fend off Pill Lightning.
Pi li pa la~
As the thunderclouds churned, dazzling bolts of lightning tore through the sky with sizzling cracks.
The flashes of lightning were blindingly bright, illuminating the darkened heavens as though it were broad daylight.
Its power was indeed terrifying. After Ah Da's initial excitement, his expression gradually grew solemn.
With a sweep of his sleeve—
Wuuu~
Black gales erupted, swirling around his body.
Even though he was a soul body, facing this five-colored Pill Lightning, he still felt pressure, despite the Nine Serene Wind Flame guarding him.
Wei Yang also opened his mouth, spitting out a black sun.
Weng weng weng~
The black sun vibrated, buzzing as if in excitement.
"Death Life, it's on you now," Wei Yang said.
Weng weng weng~
Energy, devour, devour, devour!
With a sudden flash, the black sun shot up into the sky with a sharp swoosh.
At the same time—
Roar~
A deafening roar resounded as a towering figure like an iron tower soared up from the valley's edge, charging straight toward the thunderclouds.
The Death Life Flame and Du Jiao, the old partners, once again joined forces to face the Pill Lightning.
They hovered high in the sky, directly beneath the thunderclouds, staring up at the growling five-colored storm above with not a trace of fear.
Rumble~
Thunder rolled heavily.
The five-colored thundercloud churned more and more violently. Deep rumbles shook the air as thick, dazzling bolts as wide as thighs darted and writhed within.
Zi la~
The thundercloud suddenly contracted.
Immediately, a five-colored bolt of lightning shot out like a cascading rainbow waterfall, carrying terrifying might as it descended straight toward the medicine cauldron floating in front of Wei Yang.
Where the lightning waterfall passed, the void itself tore apart like fragile paper, silently dissolving into pitch-black nothingness. Such destructive power left both Wei Yang and Du Jiao below visibly shaken.
Yet—
Facing this terrifying five-colored Pill Lightning, Du Jiao let out a wild roar, stomped hard upon the void, and burst upward to meet it head-on, his fist smashing out fiercely.
Boom!
His punch slammed into the descending lightning bolt. In an instant, the entire void shattered into pieces!
