Chapter 1684: One of a Kind Pill Tribulation
As jaws hung low, Pill Immortal Flura formed a series of hand seals, and all nine flames under her command surrounded her. They remained in their ball-of-flame forms, each bearing a different colour and aura.
However, the moment they appeared, Pill Immortal Flura waved her hand, and the pill, alongside the two Crimson Pill Rings, flew toward her.
"What is happening?" someone asked, but no one answered because no one had an answer.
The shock of everything that was happening left them all stunned, their minds blank as they struggled to comprehend the scene before them.
The fact that Pill Immortal Flura had performed External Pill Ring Refinement on two Crimson Pill Rings while only at the Pill Immortal was more than enough to shock even Elder Zhen Kai, who was ranked among the top ten Pill Immortals in the entire Eastern Region.
He might be the best, but even he hadn’t grasped the concept of External Pill Ring Refinement. That is what someone Pill Supremes and above do.
Yet Pill Immortal Flura had, and that alone was astonishing. Added to the fact that she possessed nine Primordial Flames, everyone could only watch in stunned silence.
Pill Immortal Flura first looked up and saw that the clouds had started to change. This made her smile, completely unaware of the danger that was approaching.
Instead, she focused on the two Crimson Pill Rings and, with a series of hand seals, one of them moved and wrapped itself around the pill, which already possessed five Violet Pill Rings and ten Azure Pill Rings.
Everyone held their breath, watching closely as the first Crimson Pill Ring wrapped around the pill. A few minutes later, waves of soul-nourishing energy passed through everyone’s souls, causing many of them to clap out loud.
This was a moment they had all come to witness, and as it happened, it was unfolding right before their eyes.
They all understood that soon, another Pill God would rise from the Eastern Region. She would be noticed by the Pill God Council if she hasn’t already, and then she would be promoted.
Forming one Crimson Pill Ring with only one more left to merge was enough for Pill Immortal Flura to gain that recognition.
The moment she successfully merged the first Crimson Pill Ring with the pill, she immediately began forming more hand seals.
"This is actually happening," Sect Master Tianheng muttered, his previous expression of disappointment now replaced by shock.
"This is history in the making. Two Crimson Pill Rings, five Violet Pill Rings, and ten Azure Pill Rings on a single Tier 22 pill. It has never happened in the history of alchemy," Sect Master Yunshan stated, and the others nodded in agreement.
"I really shouldn’t have doubted her. She clearly surpasses all of us, and that is obvious now," Sect Master Baijun muttered, a pale smile appearing on his face. "And we tried to bring someone like her under our control. We would have limited her potential."
"Indeed. It looks like we’ve dodged a bullet from the Pill Dao. By failing to recruit her, this day was allowed to arrive—a day that will go down in history."
While the sect elders and clan chiefs were talking among themselves, Pill Immortal Flura was almost done forming the final hand seal.
The moment she completed it, the second Crimson Pill Ring moved, and everyone held their breath yet again.
The final moment had arrived, and even Kent was focused intently on the pill.
Inside the tower, his wives and his legion were no different. They all knew that Pill Immortal Flura meant a lot to Kent. In the past, whenever he talked about Pill Immortal Flura, they would tease him, calling her his unofficial disciple.
So now, watching as she stood on the verge of making history, they found themselves just as nervous and excited as everyone else.
Just as the ring was slowly merging with the pill, the disguised Pill Immortal whom Pill Immortal Flura had defeated in the bid for the [Soul Lotus Core] retrieved a talisman and was about to crush it when a hooded figure emerged from the shadows and pressed a dagger against his throat.
"Move a finger, and you won’t even know when you died."
The warning made him freeze, giving the Shadow Fiend enough time to act again. Before the Pill Immortal could react, his vision blurred.
The next moment, he found himself standing at the shore of a river on a remote planet, countless light-years away from where he had been only seconds ago.
"NOOOOOOOOO!"
His scream echoed through the heavens, but it was already too late. By the time he returned, his rival would have long since made history.
Kent smirked when he watched the bastard scream through the eyes of one of the shadow fiends who would make sure the bastard would face some hardship before finding his way back home.
The next second, Kent’s soul resonated violently. Then deep within his soul, an explosion occurred.
BOOM!
The bottleneck that had restrained him at Tier 30 shattered instantly, allowing him to finally step into the rank of a Demigod in Soul Cultivation.
[You have ascended to the demigod stage in soul cultivation]
’Damn, Flura. What kind of monstrous pill have you created?’
His eyes burned with greed as he stared at the pill, resisting the urge to snatch it away and swallow it immediately.
All around the venue, countless people experienced breakthroughs of their own. Every single one of them looked at the Tier 22 Soul Tempering Pill with undisguised desire, wishing they could absorb even a fraction of its power.
At that moment, the second Crimson Pill Ring successfully merged with the pill.
"YESSSSSSS!"
Pill Immortal Flura’s excited shout echoed throughout the venue.
Around her, the nine Primordial Flames began jumping around excitedly, still maintaining their spark-like forms.
CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!
Thunderous applause erupted from every direction, and everyone rose to their feet.
Even though the pill had yet to be judged by the Pill Dao, congratulations were already pouring in from all sides. What Flura had accomplished was unprecedented, and they are all celebrating her.
Suddenly, the heavens rumbled, and a terrifying pressure descended upon everyone.
High above the clouds, three colours appeared: Azure, Violet, and Crimson.
"Three-Coloured Pill Rainbow! It is the Three-Coloured Pill Rainbow! Hahahahahaha! The heavens have acknowledged the pill rings, everyone!" Elder Zhen Kai shouted, his laughter echoing across the venue.
If someone didn’t know better, they would think he was the one who had refined the pill himself.
Yet no one found that strange.
Instead, everyone lifted their heads to observe the phenomenon happening in the clouds, knowing that the upcoming tribulation would be unlike anything they had ever witnessed.
As discussions erupted among the crowd, a ring-shaped platform suddenly emerged from within the tribulation clouds.
At the same time, the aura of a Celestial descended upon the gathering.
However, instead of suppressing them, those with deep insight felt as if they were being allowed a glimpse into the Heavenly Laws themselves—the very laws that only a handful of Demigods and Gods could perceive.
Kent, who had been prepared to intervene the moment anyone tried to disrupt Pill Immortal Flura’s pill refinement ceremony, suddenly felt a familiar sensation wash through his body.
’This feeling...’
His brows twitched slightly, then a smile slowly formed on his face.
’Master is here.’
The platform descended slowly.
Standing atop it was a man with flowing white hair and a youthful appearance. He wore a black-and-white robe, with white being the dominant colour.
Pinned perfectly to his chest was a Platinum Pill Celestial badge.
A gentle smile spread across his face as he guided the platform toward Pill Immortal Flura.
When the platform landed, he stepped off it gracefully.
He first glanced at the tribulation clouds before turning his attention toward Pill Immortal Flura.
"I never knew a day would come when I, Zathoriel Prime, would meet someone whose potential runs that deep and whose actions are that reckless, madness even. External Pill Ring refinement at the Pill Immortal stage, huh..." the Celestial said.
The statement caused countless eyes to widen, including Pill Immortal Flura’s.
"Zathoriel Prime..." she muttered. Her mind rapidly searched through old records and legends.
Then suddenly, her eyes widened.
"Are you the Pill Dao Arbiter, one of the Nine Pill Elders of the Universe Pill Council?"
"The one and only," Pill Celestial Zathoriel Prime replied, maintaining his gentle smile.
RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
As shock continued to spread across the faces of those present, the tribulation clouds announced their imminent descent. The heavenly tribulation would arrive in five minutes.
