BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 487: Five-Colored Pill Lightning!

Chapter 487: Five-Colored Pill Lightning!

A few hours later, within the Dragon Soul Cauldron, the accumulated energy had begun to tremble violently.

With a flick of Gu He's sleeve, the lid of the Dragon Soul Cauldron was instantly flung open. A terrifying wave of energy surged out from the cauldron, crashing fiercely against its inner walls, producing an ear-splitting metallic clang.

Although the cauldron acted as a barrier, some of the energy fluctuations still managed to escape. Within a hundred-meter radius, massive boulders crumbled instantly under the shockwave, exploding with a resounding boom as fragments of stone scattered into the air.

Boom!

Just as the overwhelming energy waves spread outward, the Dragon Soul Cauldron suddenly trembled violently. The next moment, a massive pillar of deep purple flames shot straight into the sky with a sharp whoosh, breaking through even the seals that Gu He had placed around it.

The blazing fire pillar soared into the heavens, its scorching brilliance visible for dozens of miles. The energy rippling from within the flames spread far and wide, striking terror into the hearts of all the magical beasts in the surrounding area. Weaker beasts instinctively dropped to the ground, trembling and unable to move.

"Heavens! What in the world is happening? Why has such a terrifying pillar of fire appeared?"

"The energy within that flame… even getting close to it means certain death!"

This remote mountain range was not home to particularly powerful magical beasts. The strongest ones here barely reached the advanced sixth rank. However, it was precisely these more intelligent sixth-rank beasts that felt the deepest sense of dread. Unnatural phenomena of such magnitude in the mountains often meant one thing—a grave threat to their survival.

Yet among them, the strongest, a peak sixth-rank Silverback Wolf King, seemed to have realized something. Its massive pupils locked onto the fire pillar, and it muttered in a low voice, "Could it be… a human alchemist refining pills? Such an enormous energy fluctuation… that human must be refining a legendary eighth-tier pill!"

As countless magical beasts in the mountains watched in fear, an unusual mist rapidly formed at the peak of the sky, right where the fire pillar ended. Within moments, the mist condensed into a thick layer of dark clouds, unmistakably forming a storm of lightning.

Upon witnessing the thunderclouds gathering in the sky, an instinctive terror rose in the hearts of the observing beasts. In the world of magical beasts, those who wished to take human form had two possible paths—either obtaining an extremely rare Transformation Pill or enduring a Heavenly Tribulation, a lightning calamity that, once survived, granted them human form along with the intelligence and cultivation talents of mankind.

At this moment, aside from a few ancient magical beasts that had lived through such tribulations, most others assumed that some high-ranked magical beast was undergoing its transformation. Holding their breaths, they stared fixedly at the roiling storm clouds in the sky.

Under countless watchful eyes, the thunderclouds churned and boiled. Suddenly, streaks of green and silver light surged forth, infusing the forming pill lightning with a two-toned radiance!

"Why does this lightning cloud have two colors?"

"I knew it! This isn’t a beast's transformation tribulation—this is Pill Lightning! Two-colored Pill Lightning… could it be that some human master is refining an eighth-tier pill?"

As the realization spread, murmurs and exclamations filled the mountain range.

"It’s not over yet! More colors are appearing!"

Hardly had these words fallen when the thunderclouds churned once more. This time, a streak of red light emerged silently. Under the astonished gazes of the onlooking beasts, the red hue quickly expanded. In less than a minute, it had grown to match the other two colors in prominence.

"Three colors! It has reached three colors!"

Deep within the mountains, countless magical beasts watched the sky with bated breath. The strongest among them had already confirmed that this was indeed the tribulation of an eighth-tier pill.

"There’s more! Another color is appearing!"

A sudden sharp cry rang across the mountains, followed by a chorus of shocked exclamations.

Countless eyes turned toward the sky just in time to witness—amidst the roiling thunderclouds—a streak of dazzling golden light begin to shimmer. Like a sun hidden behind the storm, the golden radiance seeped out gradually, illuminating the heavens with an awe-inspiring glow.

"This… Four-Colored Pill Lightning! There is actually such a terrifying alchemist in the Northern Region!"

The Silverback Wolf King stared at the dazzling golden light that had suddenly emerged, its massive pupils filled with shock. In the sky, the brilliant thunderclouds were now infused with four radiant hues—green, silver, red, and gold. These colors blended together, turning the storm clouds into a breathtaking spectacle, as beautiful as a sky filled with radiant clouds at dawn.

The range of this celestial phenomenon was expanding rapidly. Now, even those within a two-hundred-mile radius deep in the mountains could clearly see the astonishing sight in the sky.

"This is Four-Colored Pill Lightning! How could such an extraordinary alchemist exist in the Northern Region?"

"Never underestimate any place. This continent is vast, and countless hidden experts live in seclusion. Some powerful individuals enter closed-door cultivation for decades or even centuries. Who knows? You might just stumble upon a reclusive master deep in some remote mountain!"

Within this vast two-hundred-mile region, many human cultivators who had been training in the mountains had also noticed the unusual phenomenon in the sky. Their faces were filled with astonishment.

At that moment, just as everyone—both humans and magical beasts—thought that four colors were the limit, the surging thunderclouds suddenly trembled once again. A streak of purple light, like the divine glow piercing through the heavens, silently pierced through the clouds, dyeing a section of the thunderstorm in a soft violet hue.

The moment the purple light appeared, the thunderclouds transformed completely—Five-Colored Pill Lightning had descended!

"Five-Colored Pill Lightning… this is beyond belief!"

"Even in the Pill Domain, known as the paradise of alchemists, only a handful of people have ever managed to refine a pill that could summon Five-Colored Pill Lightning!"

Five-Colored Pill Lightning!

This legendary and nearly mythical phenomenon had now manifested right before the eyes of these cultivators who were merely training deep in the mountains. How could they not be thrilled beyond measure?

…

Directly beneath the five-colored thunderclouds, Gu He wore an expression of deep concentration.

Compared to the time he had spent cultivating his strength, the effort he had put into alchemy was undoubtedly much less. Initially, he had only planned to refine a pill that would summon Three-Colored Pill Lightning. However, perhaps due to the extraordinary nature of this particular pill, his performance this time had exceeded all expectations!

Now, the pill was nearly complete. All that remained was to endure the heavenly tribulation, and then he would have successfully refined a Tianxuan Foundation-Stabilizing Pill—one tempered by Five-Colored Pill Lightning.

With Gu He's current strength as an advanced half-saint, enduring this level of Pill Lightning was effortless.

Boom!

As Gu He looked up at the sky, five massive streaks of lightning, each glowing with a different hue, roared down from the heavens, crashing violently toward the Dragon Soul Cauldron below.

At the sight of the descending Five-Colored Pill Lightning, Gu He's mind stirred. In an instant, his figure transformed into a massive bolt of silver lightning, vanishing from his original position in a flash.
