Chapter 546: Nine-Colored Dan Thunder! The Ultimate Divine Nourishment Pill!
"This… how is this possible?"
Unlike Xuan Kongzi, Xuan Yi, and Tian Leizi, who were overwhelmed with excitement, Gu You's expression had darkened completely. Alongside him, every member of the Hall of Souls who had come with him was utterly stunned by the scene before them.
The methods of the Cai Lin Pavilion Master… were simply too monstrous!
"No wonder he is the Hall of Souls' greatest threat. If the Hall Master does not act, he will destroy the Hall of Souls!"
A deep, murderous intent surged within Gu You. While he himself lacked the power to do so, this time Wu Tian must die!
It didn't matter what limits Wu Tian had; he had to be eliminated. If they continued to let him grow, he would inevitably become the supreme ruler of this continent, and by then, it would be far too late.
As Gu You gazed at the turbulent storm clouds above, his expression grew darker and darker. He now understood he had already lost.
Wu Tian had completely outplayed him.
Just when he had believed victory was within his grasp, Wu Tian had shattered that illusion completely, crushing their confidence from the very foundation.
Even as his mortal enemy, Gu You had to admit Wu Tian was terrifying.
But at this moment, he couldn't suppress a burning curiosity
Would the Nine-Colored Dan Thunder truly appear?
Even within the Hall of Souls' vast archives, there were no recorded instances of an eighth-tier pill summoning a nine-colored thunderstorm.
Even among ninth-tier alchemists, those who had achieved absolute mastery, it was impossible to summon a nine-colored Dan Thunder at the eighth-tier.
For upon reaching the ninth tier, the pills refined were already Saint-Tier Pills, exceeding the scope of the eighth tier entirely.
At that level, one no longer summoned Dan Thunder of various colors.
Instead
One summoned the legendary Black Demon Thunder.
As the clouds above churned violently, an unsettling silence engulfed the entire plaza.
Everyone held their breath, staring at the sky as if they were bound to it, awaiting a miracle.
Right now, they were about to witness the emergence of a legendary existence that had been absent from the history books for countless ages.
If this miracle truly came to pass, it would forever be engraved in history, a monumental moment in the annals of the Dou Qi Continent.
"Gulp."
Across the plaza, countless people swallowed hard, their throats tightening with anticipation.
The entire crowd was gripped by an almost painful tension, their clenched fists trembling as their heartbeats raced uncontrollably.
Then
A suffocating surge of power erupted from the heavens.
"!!!"
A sudden and overwhelming divine thunderous aura radiated outward, shaking the sky itself.
At that moment, the entire city trembled.
A ray of deep crimson light pierced through the dense clouds
A divine radiance, as if it had pierced the very heavens, illuminating the storm clouds in a brilliant red glow!
And in that moment
The storm clouds transformed.
A ninth color appeared.
The Nine-Colored Dan Thunder had arrived!
For a brief second, every heart in the city seemed to beat in sync with the thunder.
Excitement.
Shock.
Absolute disbelief.
A myth had become reality.
A phenomenon long thought to be impossible had materialized before their very eyes.
With this, the outcome of the Alchemy Conference was sealed.
Yet, at this moment, no one cared about the champion.
All that mattered
Was the Nine-Colored Dan Thunder above them.
A force so overwhelmingly divine that no human could even fathom resisting it.
A crushing blow to the Hall of Souls.
A shocking moment for the Pill Tower.
Yet, rather than frustration, the Three Giants of the Pill Tower were utterly exhilarated.
Because this was beyond simple victory or defeat.
This was the pinnacle of the eighth tier.
A level so absolute that no one could question it.
Cao Ying's captivating eyes sparkled with excitement as she gazed upon Wu Tian's composed figure, standing tall amidst the storm.
Within those shimmering pupils, a deep fascination burned.
Anyone who saw her expression would immediately understand
The legendary "Demoness" of the Pill Tower had already given both her heart and soul to this man.
Not far from her, Dan Chen was no different.
An alchemy fanatic, she was utterly entranced not just by his skill, but by him.
At this moment, no one in the Pill Tower, not even the enigmatic beauty Xuan Yi, could deny it
Even compared to Yao Chen, Wu Tian's brilliance was unparalleled.
Though… that didn't mean she had shifted her affections.
She still liked that old fool Yao Chen.
And Wu Tian?
Well, he had absolutely zero interest in her.
After the Nine-Colored Dan Thunder fully formed, Wu Tian exhaled deeply.
He was relieved.
What had been weighing on his mind wasn't the thunder
It was the fear that his alchemy and soul power would accidentally elevate the pill to the ninth tier.
Yes
Wu Tian was genuinely afraid of this possibility.
Because of his system, which, while often silent, was far too powerful.
His mission had been simple: Refine an eighth-tier Nourishment Pill.
The reward?
A true Divine-Tier Nourishment Pill.
A pill that would enhance his unborn child's potential beyond imagination.
For his wife, for his child
He had to succeed.
Had the pill accidentally advanced to the ninth tier, it would have been a disaster.
He would have failed the mission and been forced to start over.
But now
It was perfect.
A flawless eighth-tier, Nine-Colored Dan Thunder pill.
Now, all that remained
Was to withstand the Nine-Colored Dan Thunder itself.
"Crack... Crack...!!"
Nearby, Gu You's clenched fists trembled with rage.
His expression was ashen, his veins bulging.
What was once his assured victory had been utterly shattered by Wu Tian.
This was no longer a simple defeat.
This was an absolute humiliation.
Though he had already accepted his loss, witnessing the Nine-Colored Dan Thunder descend made him realize
The gap between them was insurmountable.
If he wanted to oppose Wu Tian, he could no longer rely on himself.
Only the true ancient monsters of the Hall of Souls could stop him.
But those entities prideful and indifferent
Would they even care about an "insignificant insect" like Wu Tian?
"Huff… Huff…"
Heavy breaths escaped Gu You's nose as he stared at Wu Tian
A mixture of bloodthirst and helplessness in his eyes.
But he did not act.
If he attacked first, their plans for the Three Thousand Burning Flame would be completely ruined.
The Hall of Souls needed that flame.
And just as he was struggling to contain his murderous intent
A cold, piercing gaze locked onto him.
Gu You turned sharply
And found himself staring directly into the chilling eyes of Xuan Kongzi.
The air around him froze.
The meaning behind Xuan Kongzi's gaze was clear
"Move a single muscle, and you die."
