Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 97 The Ultimate Winner

"Four-Colored Thunder! You're really amazing, kid. I, Tianhe, admire you. I was originally planning to save some energy, but since that's the case, I'll go all out."

The flames inside Venerable Tianhe's medicine cauldron grew even larger. Venerable Tianhe infused his soul power into the cauldron, then took out a special fruit and threw it into the cauldron.

"This is a Spirit Ascension Fruit? Its function is to enhance the spirituality of an eighth-grade pill by adding it during the pill condensation process. Is it really necessary for Tianhe to be so serious?" Xuan Kongzi shook his head. He didn't expect that Venerable Tianhe would actually compete with a little guy.

About fifteen minutes later, Venerable Tianhe's medicine cauldron also emitted a huge pillar of light, which shot straight into the sky and instantly attracted pill lightning.

Blue, silver, red, and gold thunderclouds appeared rapidly, and that wasn't all; the thunderclouds in the sky were still churning! A moment later, as the clouds surged, a ray of purple light, like the divine radiance that pierced through the vast sky, quietly penetrated the clouds, turning a patch of thunderclouds a pale purple!

As soon as the purple color appeared, the thunderclouds instantly transformed into five-colored lightning!

Blue, silver, red, gold, purple—five colors of thunder!

Unlike Xiao Li's four-colored pill lightning, Xiao Li's golden pill lightning was smaller than the other three colors of pill lightning, while Venerable Tianhe's five-colored pill lightning was equally huge, covering the sky and directly overshadowing Xiao Li's pill lightning!

Wow!!!

The once silent square erupted into a frenzy in an instant. Countless people, their faces flushed with excitement, cheered loudly, their voices shaking the heavens and the earth. The entire city of Saint Pill trembled slightly under the weight of this roar.

The Five-Colored Thunderclap is practically a legendary existence; it's an honored guest no matter which faction you join.

With the appearance of the five-colored pill lightning, it was basically declared that the champion of this pill gathering belonged to Venerable Tianhe!

Chi Xiaozi, who had been watching from the sidelines for a long time, was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He felt that his two-colored Dan Lei was somewhat inadequate.

Then Chi Xiaozi looked at Xiao Li lying on the stone platform and shouted, "Hey, young friend, the Pill Gathering is not over yet! It's not over until you catch the Pill Lightning and protect your pills!"

Young friend, do you need my help to deal with this thunderbolt?

Chi Xiaozi didn't want such an excellent alchemist to stumble on Dan Lei's side.

Xiao Li struggled to his feet and clasped his hands in thanks to Chi Xiaozi: "Thank you for your kindness, senior. I have my own way!"

"Yeah, this kid has a Dou Zun-level puppet, why should I worry about him?" A Dou Zong-level contestant suddenly thought of something.

The next moment, a golden and silver figure appeared beside Xiao Li. The golden and silver figure instantly rushed into the sky to meet the four-colored lightning in the sky!

Boom—

The golden and silver earth demon puppets crashed head-on into the pill lightning. Instead of the puppets shattering, the golden and silver puppets absorbed the lightning power of the pill lightning!

"Huh? You can do that?"

Many people were bewildered. What kind of puppet is this? Can it be done like this?

"Oh? A puppet that can absorb the power of lightning? I saw it in the ancient ruins back then, but unfortunately I didn't get it. It was destroyed by someone else. I remember that Mang Tianchi also went to that ruins."

"Could this be something he gave to this little guy?" Xuan Yi pondered.

boom!!

The dazzling lightning, like a giant dragon roaring across the sky, raged and danced, then brought with it brilliant lightning bolts, sweeping down from the sky and finally almost striking the earth demon puppet's body in mid-air.

Countless bolts of lightning, like tiny snakes, entered the Earth Demon Puppet's body, which was being strengthened at an extremely rapid pace!

The golden light on the Earth Demon Puppet's body increased, and it was about to transform into the Heavenly Demon Puppet. Just as the Earth Demon Puppet was absorbing the pill lightning, several wisps of pill clouds around it were also attracted to it.

Chixiaozi, who had already received several bolts of alchemical lightning, suddenly realized that his alchemical lightning was moving away. Tianhe Venerable, who was preparing to confront the alchemical lightning head-on, also realized that his alchemical lightning was being attracted to Xiao Li.

"Young friend, are you sure there's no problem? The Dan Lei (a type of energy) has gathered together!" Chi Xiaozi said anxiously, looking at the few Dan Lei that showed signs of merging.

"It should be fine, my puppet should be able to hold out!" Xiao Li sat on the stone platform, looking at the scene in the sky.

"The lightning bolts have actually attracted each other, and their power will surge again. Should we intervene? In this situation, it wouldn't be unreasonable for us to stop them," Xuan Kongzi said, as this matter had exceeded expectations.

Xuan Yi frowned: "Should we wait? I think the puppet seems to be fine."

Boom!

As thunderclouds gathered, the energy of this world suddenly became extremely turbulent, with terrifying thunderous power permeating the heavens and earth.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

Terrifying colored lightning struck the earth demon puppet, and a crisp metallic clang echoed through the sky.

The violent thunder lasted for a full half hour, and some of the audience members couldn't bear the sound.

As time passed, the dark sky gradually dissipated, and the figure in the sky had completely turned golden.

"Success! The Heavenly Demon Puppet!"

Xiao Li summoned the Heavenly Demon Puppet back and examined it carefully. It was entirely golden. Xiao Li took out the Heavenly Blaze Sword and slashed at the puppet.

clang-

The shock made Xiao Li's hand ache, but there wasn't even a white mark left!

"Let me try!" Venerable Tianhe had already arrived beside Xiao Li and suddenly punched the Heavenly Demon Puppet!

The Heavenly Demon Puppet remained motionless.

"What amazing defensive power! Judging from its aura, this puppet is probably equivalent to a five-star Dou Zun," Venerable Tianhe exclaimed in surprise.

As soon as Venerable Tianhe finished speaking, the thick thunderclouds in the sky completely dissipated, and warm sunlight once again poured down from the sky.

All eyes suddenly turned to the high platform where Xuan Kongzi, the president of the Pill Tower, was located. The Pill Gathering had now come to a complete end, and it was time to announce the final results.

Xuan Kongzi smiled slightly and stood up: "The pill lightning has dissipated, and I won't say any more. Contestants, please take out your pills!"

The last four people on the stone platform took out their pills, and the four perfectly round pills floated in mid-air.

One peak-grade seventh-rank pill and three grade-eight pills! The brilliance of the peak-grade seventh-rank pill was completely overshadowed by the three grade-eight pills.

On Chixiaozi's elixir, a faint spiritual mist condensed into a delicate cat.

On top of Xiao Li's pill, a lurking leopard materialized, lying there alert to its surroundings.

The Heavenly Crane Venerable's elixir condensed into an incomparably powerful tiger, which sat there as if it were the sole king of this world!

Xuan Kongzi smiled and said, "The most precious pill in this pill competition is the one with the most spiritual essence. Now, the most precious pill in this competition has been born, and its owner is the ultimate champion of this competition. He is none other than Venerable Tianhe, Jiang Tianhe!"

As soon as Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, a deafening cheer resounded through the sky!

"Ah, Elder Jiang, you've won this time. I'll come back to learn from you again after a few more years of cultivation!" Xiao Li said, cupping his fists to Venerable Tianhe.

"Hey kid, in a few years your alchemy skills will probably be even more outrageous. What? You want to bully this old man?" Venerable Tianhe said speechlessly. This kid is quite the vengeful one.

Although Venerable Tianhe became the champion of this Pill Gathering, Xiao Li, who was the runner-up, has not been forgotten. He is the one who can refine an eighth-grade four-color pill lightning with only the cultivation of Dou Huang. His future is limitless! Many forces have already begun to think about winning him over.

High above the plaza, in the void, "The little guy did quite well, eight ranks, four colors. I probably couldn't have done that at my age back then."

An aged voice spoke to itself from the void.
