Book 10: Chapter 133: Aunt (3)
Dyon’s Chaos Flames surged, wrapping around the cauldron along with his Purity Flames. Their solidification characters took action in an instant. The Condense stage was the very final step, it was meant to be the most difficult and the step most alchemists would fail on… But to Dyon, with this characteristic at his beck and call… It was the easiest!
At that moment, the split clouds above trembled, sending down a mighty strike of lightning!
Dyon’s eyes sharpened, but he didn’t make a move, allowing this bolt of tribulation lightning to land directly within the Battle Cauldron.
Those who had entered a selfless state simply due to Dyon’s alchemy prowess snapped out of it. Witnessing this scene, they were shocked. What just happened?
“… P-p-pill tribulation…”
Supreme Spiritual directly fainted from shock. He couldn’t spare the energy to maintain his consciousness any longer. Plus, he had had such vile thoughts about Dyon in the past two days that the seals placed on him had continuously torn his heart apart. This final bit of stimulation was finally too much for him to handle.
Reinforced pills were above the top-grade of 90-100% purity, nine times reinforced pills being the absolute limit. Dyon had already reached the pinnacle of this realm in mortal grade pills. The last time he refined a pill was for Pjisel who he gave a nine times reinforced Cultivation Cleansing Pill. But that was done incomparably casually and without even a pill cauldron.
Within the immortal grade, nine times reinforced pills were the pinnacle standard as well. However, the difference was that in order to be reinforced, unlike mortal grade pills, immortal grade pills needed to withstand a tribulation!
A single lightning strike… That meant Dyon had refined a one time reinforced immortal grade pill!
How could Supreme Spiritual not faint? Refining a pill of the immortal grade standard was hard enough. But to reach past the top-grade? On what should have been his first attempt as well? How could he not feel like dying?
Dyon wasn’t very worried about this tribulation lightning. Only the tribulation lightning of the Immortal Plane could threaten his pill. He was technically cheating by creating an Immortal Grade Pill on the mortal plane.
Dyon reached outward and was about to check his work. After all, his body was already at its limits. If he didn’t eat this Essence Mending Pill now, he’d likely die in just a few hours. However, that was when an earthshattering change began to take place.
The Battle Cauldron trembled.
At first, it was light. But it continuously grew stronger.
Not long afterward, a blinding light began to radiate out from it.
Dyon could only watch as it suddenly shot into the skies, burying itself into the golden clouds above with a bitter smile.
‘Why now…’ He asked himself in exasperation.
Unable to hold on any longer, he tumbled down from his position in the air, his consciousness fading.
Luna’s expression changed, rushing over to Dyon’s side and catching him before he fell to the ground.
Her expression was incomparably ugly. Her experience was much deeper than Alauna’s, she knew well how terrible the situation of Dyon’s body was. For his cauldron to so suddenly run away, holding within it the very pill he needed to survive… The Heavens didn’t have eyes!
Alauna, a step later, rushed to her mother’s side, unable to hide her worry.
It was then another change took place. The clouds above began to surge. However, they weren’t spreading outward, but rather, inward.
A dark hole seemed to form at its center, swallowing these golden clouds toward itself with impunity.
The situation was far too ridiculous. But, thinking back to Dyon’s suddenly vanishing cauldron, wild thoughts began to surface in everyone’s mind.
However, when all the golden skies in the skies vanished, and Heaven’s Chimes finally stopped, there really was nothing but a massive cauldron looming in the skies, trembling incessantly.
In that moment, the sound of a shattering barrier resounded, and the cry of a little girl shocked everyone.
The black cauldron barreled down from the skies, rushing toward Dyon, Alauna and Luna. Seeing this, Luna almost wanted to take action. This cauldron rushed off with her man’s life saving measures, and now it was suddenly rushing back with who knows what kind of intent. If this cauldron wanted to attack, if she was a real Higher Existence, it would naturally be no real problem. However, Luna wasn’t, so she had to be prepared and gather up her strength.
But who knew she would hear something incredulous next.
“Hey! Hey! Hey! You can hear me, now right? Stinky master, to actually dare go to battle without me, this grand aunt still hasn’t forgiven you!”
“Hey! Hey! Why aren’t you answering me? Are you pretending to be asleep to ignore this grand aunt?!”
The cauldron was still descending at blinding speeds a moment ago, but it suddenly came to a grinding halt not even a meter above the trio.
Luna’s lip twitched as she watched an adorable little girl peak out from below the lid of the black cauldron. She was only about two feet tall and had a chubby appearance which gave her cheeks one almost couldn’t resist pinching.
She kept calling out to Dyon, but he wasn’t answering her at all.
Snapping awake Luna almost lost her temper.
“Little cauldron, if you don’t want your master to die, hurry up and give us the pill he refined now!”
The little girl blinked. Digging around, she stuck her tongue out to the side as though she was incomparably focused, only to bring two pills out.
“These?”
Though Luna was confused as to why there were two pills, she hurriedly snatched one and stuffed it into Dyon’s mouth, using her qi to circulate it around his body.
However… When the Dragon King saw this scene, he felt as though it was he himself that had been struck by lightning.
‘Endowment of Multiplicity!’
