The sky suddenly darkened, and large black clouds obscured the heavens.
It wasn't the light black of ordinary pill thunderclouds, but an extremely deep, heavy black, as if day had turned into night.
Gazing at the sky, there was no lightning coursing through the thunderclouds, only a terrifying pressure that seemed to make even one's spirit tremble.
"This is… Black Devil Lightning?" Yaotian's face showed an expression of disbelief, and he uttered this sentence with a dry mouth.
The Elders of the Yao Clan also rose one after another, their eyes surprised as they looked at the center of the square.
The other young Alchemists looked at Xiao Yan's figure with admiration.
"Hahaha… Good, good, good!" Yao Chen clapped his hands and laughed uncontrollably, clearly very satisfied with Xiao Yan's performance.
Black Devil Lightning is a more powerful pill thunder than Nine-Colored Pill Thunder, a lightning tribulation that descends when a Ninth-Rank Pill is born.
Gu Feng was slightly startled, then smiled, "That kid really succeeded. Miss Xun Er's judgment is indeed not bad!"
After a brief pause, he looked at Xun Er and said, "Miss, if any old stubborn fool in the clan dares to obstruct your matter with this kid, I will definitely go and have a good talk with him."
Black Nirvana King Gu Lie chuckled, "I'm afraid you won't need to talk to them. When those guys find out about this, they'll be scrambling to express their approval, won't they?"
Alchemists are divided into one to nine ranks, with one being the lowest and nine being the highest.
Within the ninth rank, they are further divided into Treasure Pill Masters, Mysterious Pill Masters, and Golden Pill Masters.
It had been hundreds of years since anyone had refined a Ninth-Rank Mysterious Pill.
Even individuals of the status of the Four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan and the Three Immortals of the Ancient Clan had never enjoyed a Ninth-Rank Mysterious Pill.
A Mysterious Pill Master can almost be called the greatest on the continent.
Although the leading figures in the Alchemy world, such as Yao Dan, Gu Feng, and Hun Xuzi, had the strength to attempt refining a Ninth-Rank Mysterious Pill, the success rate was questionable.
Therefore, after Xiao Yan refined a Ninth-Rank Treasure Pill, no one dared to treat him as a junior anymore.
Hun Xuzi narrowed his eyes, "Yao Chen, you've taught a good disciple. Wouldn't it be a bit beneath him to go to the preliminary round? He's already qualified to compete on the same stage as us."
Yao Chen was somewhat surprised that Hun Xuzi remained calm after being treated with such an attitude by him earlier, and he sighed inwardly, thinking that if one disregarded character, his current composure indeed possessed the demeanor of a Master.
In such an occasion, with the other party praising his disciple so highly, he couldn't really give them a cold shoulder, so he smiled and responded, "He's still a bit lacking. If we were to step in, the Black Devil Lightning wouldn't be enough…"
The other few people also didn't refute, all sharing a knowing smile.
None of them intended to only refine a Ninth-Rank Treasure Pill; while there was a significant chance of failure with a Ninth-Rank Mysterious Pill, a Ninth-Rank Treasure Pill held no competitiveness at all.
Xiao Yan was so exhausted at this moment that he couldn't even move a finger.
If Qing Meng hadn't helped him control the heat and if he hadn't continuously consumed pills to restore his Dou Qi, he wouldn't have been able to persist until the pill was refined.
Feeling the terrifying pressure from the sky that made his scalp tingle, Xiao Yan decided to follow his heart and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Teacher, save me!
"Help me, someone's going to die, I can't stop it!"
That shout completely dispelled the shock he had brought to everyone by refining a Ninth-Rank Treasure Pill.
After a slight stunned, Yao Chen's figure suddenly disappeared from his original spot, then reappeared beside Xiao Yan.
He shook his head and cursed with a smile, "You, oh you… As an Alchemist, if you were to be struck dead by the pill thunder you refined yourself in the end, that would be a bit amusing."
The pill had already taken shape, and a massive black lightning bolt suddenly descended.
The terrifying power caused the space along its path to shatter, bringing a hint of fear to many people's eyes.
The power of this lightning was almost equivalent to a Dou Saint's attack!
Facing this grand pill thunder, Yao Chen merely waved his sleeve and swept it away.
Afterward, he reached out and grabbed the Ninth-Rank Treasure Pill, which, sensing the danger had passed, was trying to escape.
He casually applied a Sealed Artifact to it, placed it in a jade box, and threw it to Xiao Yan.
"Here, catch it. Be careful not to let it run away. If you want to consume it, you'll have to wait until you become a Half-Saint at the very least," Yao Chen reminded him.
Qing Meng took the jade box on behalf of Xiao Yan and placed it into his space ring.
Perceiving the jade box quietly lying in his space ring with his spirit power, Xiao Yan also smiled.
For him, this time could be considered an over-performance.
"What terrifying talent. If not for the millennium plan being imminent, even if the Xiao Clan is our ally, I would still take action to eradicate him," Void Swallowing Flame said in a low voice from the void, quietly observing the progress of the Yao Ceremony.
"Hmm? What's that?" Soul Flame suddenly looked into the depths of the void, where two pale white light spots were approaching.
Void Swallowing Flame suddenly looked up; he felt the aura of a Heavenly Flame, an extremely powerful Heavenly Flame!
His spirit power realm had not yet broken through to the Emperor Realm, so he could only vaguely sense a spirit power emanating from the Medicine World, subtly guiding the two light spots.
After the light spots approached, they realized that these were also two spaces, though much smaller than the Medicine World.
Both spaces were sealed by Bone Spirit Cold Flame, and within them, huge creatures were vaguely seen flying continuously.
The creatures in one space were dragon-shaped, and those in the other were phoenix-shaped.
The original Demon Phoenix World and Ancient Dragon Island spaces would, of course, not be this small, but for ease of transport, Xiao Zhan had dismantled a lot of them.
He stopped after sending the spaces containing the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and Taixu Ancient Dragon near the Medicine World, only observing from afar, thus not being discovered by Void Swallowing Flame.
Void Swallowing Flame scanned with his spirit power for a long time but didn't find anyone else, putting more attention on these two spaces enveloped by Otherworldly Flames.
"These are… Taixu Ancient Dragon and Heavenly Demon Phoenix? They're actually here…" His tone carried surprise and doubt.
The combination of magical beasts, Otherworldly Flames, and the Yao Ceremony made Soul Butcher have a flash of insight.
He said with some self-doubt, "Could it be that someone captured these two races for alchemy?"
Hearing him say this, Soul Flame and Soul Kill also reacted, and the more they thought about it, the more likely this possibility seemed.
They exchanged glances, and a hint of horror flashed in their eyes.
To use the entire Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan and the entire Heavenly Demon Phoenix Tribe as alchemy materials, what kind of feat was this? What level of pill was this person planning to refine?
"What should we do?" They all looked at Void Swallowing Flame.
The latter was silent for a moment, then replied, "Wait."
If the guess was true, then the pill refined would undoubtedly be an earth-shattering one.
If he could get his hands on it and refine it, he felt he could even break through to the late Nine-Star Dou Saint, becoming a strong cultivator no less than Gu Yuan or Soul Emperor!
Thinking this, a hint of greed appeared in Void Swallowing Flame's eyes.
