Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 366 This...is this treating Dan Lei like dough?!
Several days passed in a flash.

On this day, on Mount Lei, an extremely terrifying beam of light, like a laser, shot into the sky with surging energy fluctuations, piercing straight into the clouds.

"This is."

In front of the Wuliang Hall, Hai Bodong stared at the pillar of light rising from the back mountain, his eyes flashing with astonishment.

"Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and violet"

Famar, standing to the side, gazed at the rapidly churning thunderclouds, the various colors that instantly painted the entire sky dazzlingly. Suddenly, as if remembering something, his eyes trembled, and an excited expression gradually appeared on his face.

"It's actually... the legendary Seven-Colored Pill Lightning!"

"Seven-Colored Pill Lightning?"

Hai Bodong and Jia Xingtian exchanged a glance, their eyes slightly bulging. During this period, they had been frantically browsing through the palace library, and their knowledge of advanced common sense about the mainland had improved significantly compared to before.

Seven-Colored Thunder
Even among eighth-grade pills, this is already considered top-tier. I never expected that Xiao Bai's alchemy skills would reach such a level in just a few years!

"Hey? Look, there seem to be more than seven colors!!"

Jia Xingtian was suddenly surprised to find that a new change had appeared amidst the rolling thunderclouds.

Upon hearing this, Fama and Haibodong looked over and, sure enough, saw that the edges of the original seven colors were shimmering with a faint golden light, which, though weak, was dazzlingly bright.

The group looked at each other, their throats slightly dry, and said in unison:
"Eight colors!"

"Eight colors?"

Inside a pavilion on the back mountain, in front of a crystal-like crimson medicine cauldron, the old doctor looked along the beam of light and seemed to be able to see the changing colors of the pill lightning in the air through the roof.

"Hehe. I have to thank Elder Yao for his Spirit Ascension Method. Otherwise, with this Nine-Headed Heavenly Serpent Blood Stone that has lost its energy, the pills refined would only be seven-colored at most."

Beside him, Xiao Bai sat cross-legged and chuckled softly upon hearing Yao Lao's words.

Behind him, Cai Lin held his daughter, and Little Fairy Doctor stared blankly at the Nine Heavens Thunder Cauldron in front of them.

Through the small holes on the cauldron, one could vaguely see the flames flickering, transforming into a dragon and a phoenix, circling around a red-glowing pill. The sounds of the dragon soaring and the phoenix singing continuously emitted a mysterious aura.

Little Fairy Doctor seemed lost in thought, her mind filled with the alchemy knowledge that Xiao Bai had explained to her before.

After Cai Lin shifted her gaze from the medicine cauldron, she stared blankly at the laughing and talking figure in front of her. A strange light flashed in her majestic phoenix eyes, and she pursed her red lips slightly. A rare warmth appeared on her cold and beautiful face.

He had indeed prepared the necessary tools for her breakthrough long ago.

Moreover, it was actually a crystal stone containing the essence blood of an ancient celestial serpent!

"Are you touched?"

A gentle voice rang in her ears. Cai Lin turned her head and saw Little Fairy Doctor reaching out her fair hand to gently pinch Xiao Qing's face, her eyes filled with smiles.

During this time, the relationship between the two women improved a lot because of Xiao Qing.

Upon hearing this, Cai Lin raised her delicate chin slightly and parted her red lips: "I just didn't expect that he could actually find the essence blood of the ancient celestial serpent."

Even so, she unconsciously tightened her grip on Xiao Qing's arm.

The little girl in her arms blinked her big eyes and looked up curiously at her mother's slightly reddened ear tips.

"Mother, why are your ears red?" Xiao Qingtian asked innocently.

"Pfft!"

Seeing the little one's adorable appearance, Little Fairy Doctor reached out and hugged her, gently tapping her delicate nose and giggling sweetly:
"Little Xiao Qing, how about Aunt Xian tells you a story about someone who's stubborn to the end?"

"Yeah!"

Xiao Qing, unaware of what was going on, clapped and cheered, his attention drawn to the story told by Little Fairy Doctor, completely oblivious to his mother's pretty face gradually turning as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Xiao Bai sensed the movement behind him and his lips twitched slightly. Ever since Xian'er's cultivation surpassed Cai Lin's, she stopped using her hands and started using her mouth instead.

Seeing Xiao Bai's expression, Yao Lao raised an eyebrow slightly. This kid usually ate his melons, but today the tables had finally turned. He was about to send a message to tease him a few times.

"Rumble--"

A thunderous roar erupted, and the medicine cauldron began to shake, emitting clanging and clattering sounds.

"Release it. Unlike pills below the seventh rank that can completely block the pill lightning, once a pill reaches the eighth rank and the seventh rank or above, it already has the ability to transform into a beast form. It needs to undergo the test of the lightning tribulation, otherwise its spirituality will be lacking!"

Looking at the pill struggling in the furnace, the old doctor stroked his beard, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.

I can hardly remember the last time I saw an eighth-grade, eight-colored elixir being born and undergoing tribulation!

Outside, the thunderclouds in the sky churned even more violently, and the originally faint golden light suddenly surged, beginning to rival the other seven colors!

"This power is truly terrifying!"

On the plaza, the Zixiao Palace members who had been soaring into the air felt the imminent divine power gathering in the sky. Their expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly descended from the sky, fearing that a single bolt of lightning might accidentally strike them and turn them into ashes.

Just as everyone was filled with fear, two streaks of light pierced the sky and landed on the square, staring blankly at the rolling thunder in the sky.

"Eight-eight-color pill thunder, Huo'er, pinch me quickly! That Xiao guy, or rather, our dear Brother Bai, can actually refine an eighth-grade, eight-color pill?"

Xiao Yan rubbed his eyes with both hands, looked up at the sky again, and counted them carefully.

That's right, it's eight colors, no illusion!

On the plaza, several figures looked at Xiao Yan, who had suddenly appeared, and their faces lit up with joy. Just as they were about to walk over, a gasp suddenly rang out from the crowd.
"Look! The Palace Master has made his move!"

Everyone looked up and their faces immediately showed a stunned expression.

A colossal, golden-black hand, reaching to the heavens and the earth, rose from the back mountain, piercing the thunderclouds as if it were plunging into the turbulent sea and trying to scoop it out.

The terrifying eight-colored lightning in the sky was like a fish, scooped up by the giant golden-black lightning hand.

Lightning flashed, drawing arcs of lightning dozens of miles long, as if in constant struggle.

"boom--"

The deafening thunder shook the entire Leishan Mountain.

"Humph!"

A deep, thunderous roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth. Then, the giant hand clenched tightly, and the terrifying eight-colored lightning shattered inch by inch in the giant hand, just like fragile glass!
Lightning bolts rained down from the sky, and just then, a golden and black Tai Chi phantom appeared on the giant palm, flashing by and absorbing all the thunder and rain.

Only then did everyone see through the slightly transparent giant hand that a ball of extremely condensed eight-colored lightning paste was suspended in the palm, so dazzling that it was too bright to look directly at.

"This is like treating Danlei like dough?!"

Xiao Yan's Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice changed tone.

A chorus of spitting and swallowing filled the square. Someone, regaining their senses, blushed and clenched their fist, shouting:
"The Palace Master is mighty!"

Immediately, the others in the square snapped out of their daze and joined in the shouting. A chorus of excited voices echoed across Leishan Mountain.
The giant hand that was about to retract seemed to hear the shouts of the crowd. After a slight pause, the eight-colored light in the palm began to rotate.

In an instant, a shower of eight-colored lightning arcs, each as thick as a hair, rained down upon the world. Before the people standing in the square could even comprehend what was happening, the lightning arcs fell like rain and merged into their bodies.

"I'm about to break through?!"

In the square, a young man at the Dou Wang level suddenly widened his eyes, his Dou Qi surged uncontrollably, and his aura rose steadily. Right before everyone's eyes, he broke through his bottleneck and stepped into the Dou Huang realm!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Immediately afterwards, a series of breakthrough auras erupted among the crowd. The disciples whose bodies were touched by the eight-colored lightning arcs experienced a surge in their fighting spirit as if it had been ignited.

Even the elders at the Dou Zong level felt their internal bottlenecks loosening, and their cultivation, which had remained stagnant for many years, was showing signs of a breakthrough!
"This...this is a blessing bestowed by the Palace Master?!" "The power of the Eight-Colored Pill Lightning can actually help someone break through?!"

"Hahaha! I've been stuck at the peak of Dou Huang for ten years, and today I finally feel that the solid barrier of Dou Zong is loosening!"

The square instantly erupted in cheers, with countless people blushing with excitement, and some even kneeling down and bowing devoutly towards the back mountain.

Xiao Yan stared in disbelief at the scene, his lips twitching.

"Brother Bai... just casually scattering some lightning arcs and mass-producing a bunch of powerful beings?"

Tang Huo'er, standing to the side, swallowed hard and murmured:

"Is this the terror of a high-level alchemist? If this happens a few more times, wouldn't everyone in Zixiao Palace be a Dou Zong?"

"Haha. The Palace Master is mighty, may his reign last a thousand generations, and may he unify the Central Plains!"

A young man slowly opened his eyes, felt the changes in his body, his body trembled, he was so excited that he could not control himself, his face turned red, and he raised his thigh-thick arm and shouted.

Everyone looked over, speechless for a moment.

This guy was the first to shout, and also the first to benefit from it, breaking through from Dou Wang to Dou Huang.

"Tu Shan, stop shouting, the Palace Master is gone!" Lin Yan rolled his eyes at the big guy next to him.

This guy truly lives up to his reputation as Xiao Bai's number one lackey and follower at Canaan Academy. He was the first to shout, and he was promoted from the peak of Dou Wang to Dou Huang. Moreover, his aura was not weak at all. Even if others broke through, they would only be below Dou Wang. He was the one who broke through with the highest cultivation level.

If this news gets back to Canaan Academy, a lot of people will probably be extremely envious. You should know that the biggest opportunity for the top ten in the inner academy's ranking list is to enter the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, receive the baptism of the Heart Flame, and increase their chances of breaking through to the Dou Huang level.

He fought tooth and nail with Liu Qing and Lin Xiuya, constantly vying for the rankings, all for this. Who knew that this guy would just flatter him and easily cross that barrier?

It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy!

The pavilion on the back hill.

"Tsk tsk. I didn't expect you to like this kind of thing?"

After Yao Lao's gaze lingered on Xiao Yan for a moment, a hint of joy and relief flashed in his eyes. He then turned his gaze back to the square and smiled playfully.

"This thing isn't of much help to me, but it's a great opportunity for them. They just did it on a whim!"

Xiao Bai smiled faintly, holding a ball of eight-colored lightning liquid in his palm. After examining it for a moment, he casually tossed the lightning liquid into his mouth, as if it were a piece of candy.

"!" Old Medicine Master.

Which alchemist is so daring as to throw the eight-colored pill lightning directly into his mouth?
"Hmm, the taste is alright, it even has a medicinal aroma. I'll have another one, and I should be able to break through!"

Feeling the immense energy spreading within his body, Xiao Bai nodded slightly and offered his comments.

"Daddy, I want it too!"

Watching him eat so heartily, Xiao Qing's small throat bobbed slightly, and her big eyes sparkled with longing.

"!" Little Fairy Doctor.

“.!” Cai Lin.

"Cough, Qing'er, you're still young. When you're a little older, your father will teach you alchemy. Then you can eat whatever you want, as much as you want!"

Xiao Bai coughed awkwardly, realizing he had completely forgotten that the little guy was there too.

"it is good!"

Xiao Qing's eyes lit up. She swallowed hard, her big, dark eyes darting around with a look of longing. She nodded her head vigorously.

The old doctor looked at this scene with envy. He had high hopes for this little girl. She was born with the cultivation of a Dou Zong, and she was born with the ability to control Xiao Bai's Five Elements Thunder. Her soul power was also vast, and her foundation was even stronger than her father's. If it weren't for the difference in seniority, he would have wanted to take her as a disciple.

After a long pause, he sighed regretfully, looked at the alchemy furnace, and was somewhat speechless.

"Now that you've swallowed the lightning, without the baptism of the pill lightning, this pill will likely be greatly diminished!"

"It's just a heavenly tribulation!"

Xiao Bai stared intently at the pills floating in the flames, a strange look in his eyes, and a peculiar smile appeared on his lips:

"Who says only thunder can bring baptism? Watch me personally deliver the tribulation to it!"

"Personally bringing down the calamity?"

Xiao Yan and Tang Huo'er, who had just stepped inside, paused upon hearing Xiao Bai's words, instantly recalling the scene in Burning Flame Valley.
While Tang Huo'er's eyes were still filled with surprise and doubt, Xiao Yan's face had already turned completely dark.

“good good”

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, and his cold voice spit out from between them:
"My dear Brother Bai, we've never seen a man-made heavenly tribulation before. Could you perhaps show me one?"

"Little Yanzi, what's wrong with you?"

The old doctor was taken aback. He looked at this disciple, who had watched him grow up since he was a child. How could he not hear the intense resentment in his words?

Glancing at Xiao Yan, who was gritting his teeth, Xiao Bai's lips gradually curled up into a mocking smile:

"Isn't this Xiao Silian? What wind blew you, this four-colored fire lotus, to my Zixiao Palace?"

Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat, and then veins bulged on his forehead as he nearly went berserk: "As expected... it was you, you bastard, who struck me with lightning!"

"Fire, don't pull me back, I want to fight him one-on-one!"

Tang Huo'er was shocked by Xiao Bai's methods, that he could actually use lightning to strike Xiao Yan deep in the Burning Flame Valley from Zixiao Palace.

While she was in a daze, she suddenly felt her fair wrist being tightly pulled. Hearing Xiao Yan's words, she looked down and blinked her beautiful eyes in confusion.

Who pulled you?

Seeing Xiao Yan shouting fiercely but not moving an inch, Xiao Bai sneered and ignored him.

Looking into the alchemy furnace, wisps of black mist were faintly wrapped around the pill, much denser than the previous pills.

"Is this the key to the elixir's spirituality?"

Xiao Bai muttered to himself that ever since he started making seventh-grade pills, he had noticed that after a pill was successfully refined, a wisp of black mist would linger around it. After attracting pill lightning, the black mist would slowly dissipate, and the pill would generate a kind of spirituality.

This time, however, the lightning struck, and the black mist did not dissipate. Remembering what Elder Yao had said before, that pills of seven colors or higher need to go through a lightning tribulation, he immediately understood.

The seven colors mark a watershed moment; the elixirs below this level, and those above the seven colors, are on completely different levels in terms of black mist content.

The cost of Yao Lao's method of ascending to higher spiritual energy levels increases dramatically with each level above seven. Without a special method of obtaining spiritual energy, the cost is simply too high and not worthwhile.

In the original novel, Xiao Yan went from three-color to five-color, using not only two grains of spirit-nurturing powder but also a mouthful of his own blood before finally succeeding in ascending to the next level. One can imagine the price he paid.

If it weren't for the improvement in his Heavenly Heart Sensing this time, which allowed him to inject some spiritual energy that was floating in the void into it, he wouldn't have been able to upgrade the pill from seven colors to eight colors.

Thinking this, Xiao Bai gradually withdrew his thoughts, raised his arm, and golden and black lightning flowed from his fingertips, transforming into a ray of light that fell into the Nine Heavens Thunder Cauldron.
In an instant, a phantom image of Tai Chi rose slowly in the flames. Thunder rumbled and trembled within the cauldron, and golden and black lightning enveloped the pill.

The black mist above it, like ice and snow under the scorching sun, continuously melted away, turning into wisps of chaotic light that merged into the elixir.

Instantly, the pill seemed to come alive. As the red light twisted, it gradually transformed into a small snake, swimming in the lightning.

PS: I thought I could write 8,000 words today, but I only slept for four hours last night. I really can't keep going now. My eyelids are drooping. I'll take a nap and continue tomorrow. I'll make up for the chapter I owe tomorrow.
