The first to condense the pill was naturally Yao Lingyu.
He had already finished refining his demon core and was in the final stage of condensing the pill.
The reason why he could be so fast was because Yang Wu had forced him into his best state. This time, he only wanted to win, he didn't want to lose.
He had already used 200% of his strength and was in his best condition. This time, there would definitely be no accidents when he formed the pill.
"Condense the pill for me." Yao Lingyu couldn't help but shout.
From the beginning, he had been suppressed by Yang Wu. Now, he could finally vent.
He withdrew all of his firepower and gathered his Dark Force and mental strength into the cauldron. He cooled the cauldron and merged the power of the herbs and demon core to complete the last step.
A muffled sound rang out, startling the surrounding people.
After Yao Lingyu finished, he closed the lid of the cauldron and stepped back. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up to the sky, muttering, "Will there be pill lightning?"
His wish didn't come true. There didn't seem to be any pill lightning.
"Pill King Ling Yu has already condensed the pill. I wonder if it went smoothly."
"With Pill King Ling Yu's ability, it's natural for him to condense the pill. I wonder what kind of pill he's refining."
…
Just as everyone was talking, thunder suddenly appeared in the sky. A bolt of heavenly lightning struck down in Yao Lingyu's direction.
The power of this heavenly lightning wasn't small. It suddenly struck down, scaring the surrounding people into silence and hurriedly retreated.
"The heavenly lightning is coming." Yao Lingyu exclaimed with an excited expression.
In the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared and blocked the heavenly lightning.
This change caused an uproar among the crowd.
The figure that suddenly appeared wasn't a living person, but a copper puppet. It was summoned by Yao Lingyu to block the heavenly lightning.
Rumble rumble!
The copper puppet blocked two heavenly lightning bolts in a row. Not only was it unharmed, but it could also absorb the power of the heavenly lightning to strengthen its own power.
Yao Lingyu revealed a ruthless expression and urged the copper puppet to rush in the direction of Yang Wu.
The copper puppet had already attracted the attention of the Heavenly Lightning. The Heavenly Lightning had already locked onto it. Wherever it moved, the Heavenly Lightning would strike.
"Despicable!" Someone involuntarily cursed.
Anyone could see that Yao Lingyu's action was to interfere with Yang Wu's alchemy. Such behavior was indeed despicable and shameless.
But who would have the nerve to step forward and stop him?
This was originally a battle between alchemists. It was not their turn to give orders.
The third bolt of heavenly lightning struck down, and its power was even greater than the previous two. The copper puppet was already beside Yang Wu, and the heavenly lightning struck down as well.
It was hard for Yang Wu not to notice. His expression became incomparably ugly. Without giving him time to think, he shouted, "Get out of my way!"
Immediately after, he extended his palm and slammed it towards the copper puppet.
Yang Wu's power was very strong, but on the one hand, he had to protect the cauldron, and on the other hand, he had to send the copper puppet flying. He hurriedly attacked, hoping that the copper puppet wouldn't get close to him to avoid being affected by the heavenly lightning.
The copper puppet was bombarded by Yang Wu's power. Its figure stopped, and the heavenly lightning struck.
Rumble!
The earth-shattering sound of thunder was deafening, and the power of thunder and lightning splashed left and right like snakes.
"Strike down a few more heavenly lightning bolts," Yao Lingyu exclaimed, forgetting himself with joy.
Unfortunately, it didn't go as he wished. After the three heavenly lightning bolts, the sky returned to calm, and no more heavenly lightning fell.
This proved that Yao Lingyu's pill had only attracted one wave of pill tribulation. He was considered a "One Tribulation Pill King."
Pill Kings that could attract pill lightning belonged to the best of the best. Their value was more than one or two times that of ordinary Pill Kings.
Yang Wu was affected by the pill lightning. The copper cauldron shook slightly, and some medicinal smell seeped out. The power of the demon core that he had just refined was also completely lost. His body didn't suffer any major injuries. He had a powerful armor to protect him, and could withstand the remaining power of the heavenly lightning. It could be said that he had narrowly escaped a disaster.
However, he was furious. He wanted nothing more than to rush over and tear Yao Lingyu apart.
He took a deep breath and continued to control the flame of his heart to burn the cauldron, speeding up the refinement of the demon core's power.
Chen Zhao hurriedly said, "Yao Lingyu, hurry up and put away your puppet. If you continue to use external objects to interfere with Yang Wu's pill refinement, I'll take it as your loss."
Han Qingqian also said, "That's right. With so many witnesses, are you afraid that you can't afford to lose?"
The two of them still wanted to see the success of the Proof of Heaven Pill. They definitely wouldn't allow Yao Lingyu to continue using his puppet to interfere with Yang Wu.
Yao Lingyu laughed coldly. "That was a method to avoid the heavenly lightning. It's not against the rules."
He didn't order the copper puppet to attack Yang Wu again. Instead, he summoned it back and had it protect him by his side, giving him a bit of power and influence.
Immediately after, he didn't bother with Yang Wu anymore. He believed that the previous attack was enough to affect Yang Wu's state of mind.
He went to open the lid of his cauldron, and two round Earth King Dans appeared in front of his eyes. There were faint pill marks on the dans, and a thick medicinal fragrance pervaded the air. Everyone present could smell it, and they were all intoxicated.
"The Pill King is done. It smells so good. Just what kind of pill is it?"
"I feel like just breathing in it can raise my cultivation by a lot. This is a supreme grade Pill King."
"As expected of the Pill King Pavilion's Pavilion Lord. The value of this pill is definitely not small."
"One Tribulation Pill King. Let's ask Pavilion Lord Lingyu later if he'll auction it."
… …
The civil and military officials were all mesmerized by the pill's fragrance. They couldn't wait to know what kind of pill it was.
The Emperor also asked curiously, "Lingyu, what kind of pill is this?"
Yao Lingyu raised his head proudly and replied, "Replying to the Emperor, this is the Earth King Pill. It can help any king level up."
This time, everyone was in an uproar again. They didn't care if it would affect Yang Wu's pill refining. Their eyes became incomparably hot. They couldn't wait to snatch this Earth King Pill.
In the mortal world, the Earth King Pill was the highest grade pill. No matter which power, they would want to obtain it. It could help their own king level up, and their status would rise by a level.
"Good, good. As expected of the Pill King Pavilion's Pavilion Lord. Amazing." The Emperor couldn't help but praise.
"There are two Earth King Pills here. When this matter is over, I will take one out for auction. If Your Majesty is interested, you can also participate in the auction." Yao Lingyu once again recovered his arrogant expression as he spoke.
The Emperor was the person with the most authority in Da Xia, but he actually allowed the Emperor to participate in the auction. This slap was like a slap to the Emperor's face. He felt incomparably uncomfortable and couldn't say anything.
Yao Lingyu knew when to stop and didn't continue speaking. He carefully put away the two Earth King Pills and smiled proudly in his heart, "It's all thanks to this little bastard that forced me to my limit."
Before this, his success rate in refining the Earth King Pill wasn't high. Moreover, he could only condense one pill at most and was unable to attract the Pill Lightning. This time, he condensed two pills and attracted one tribulation Pill Lightning. It was really fortunate.
At this time, Yang Wu finally finished melting the Sky Demon Core. He began to form seals to force the medicinal herbs' essence and the demon core's power to fuse together. At the same time, a large amount of spiritual energy rushed out like a tide and wrapped around the two completely different powers. It was the final step of condensing the pill.
"Condense for me!" This series of actions was completed in a few blinks of an eye. He shouted loudly and released an incomparably powerful energy. Opening and closing, he withdrew the firepower. The energy cooled the cauldron, and the cauldron lid was fiercely smashed on.
After doing all this, Yang Wu didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the sound of thunder exploding in the sky.
Rumble, rumble!
This wave of Heavenly Lightning came with incomparable speed and terror. It was unknown how many times stronger it was than the one summoned by Yao Lingyu.
The Heavenly Lightning summoned by Yao Lingyu only struck down one bolt each time, but the Heavenly Lightning summoned by Yang Wu struck down three bolts at the same time in the first wave. Moreover, the power of the lightning was even thicker. That shocking power was truly terrifying.
The civil and military officials were all frightened and retreated in panic. Even the Emperor and Empress, who were sitting in the best seats, were scared out of their wits. They both cried out in alarm, "Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!"
Seeing that the three bolts of Heavenly Lightning were about to strike down in front of Yang Wu, a small figure barked and bravely rushed toward the Heavenly Lightning.
The Heavenly Lightning was mighty and the lightning was dazzling. It made everyone unable to open their eyes, so they didn't notice the small figure that suddenly appeared.
Needless to say, it was Little Hei, who had been lurking. It had waited so long for this moment, so it naturally wouldn't let it go.
It was still holding the Extraterrestrial Thunder Stone in its mouth, which attracted most of the lightning power of the three bolts of Heavenly Lightning to strike it.
In addition, some of the lightning power also rushed toward Yang Wu and the bronze cauldron.
Yang Wu didn't even think about it and activated the Nine Thunders Reshaping Body Technique. When the lightning fell on him, his body convulsed. However, the Nine Thunders Reshaping Body Technique was indeed a special technique that attracted lightning to reshape the body. In an instant, the lightning power was evenly distributed to his meridians, acupoints, blood vessels, internal organs, and bones. The lightning power further stimulated his potential.
Hiss!
Yang Wu's body was strong, but he couldn't help but gasp. The pain was obvious.
When the three bolts of Heavenly Lightning were done, the next wave of Heavenly Lightning came, and there were as many as six bolts at once. It was as if the Imperial Palace was going to be completely destroyed.
Yao Lingyu, who was not far away from Yang Wu, was scared out of his wits.
Fortunately, the bronze puppet knew how to protect its master and stood in front of Yao Lingyu.
In fact, it was fine if it didn't move. When it moved, it attracted the power of the Heavenly Lightning to concentrate on it. The power of the Heavenly Lightning was much more terrifying than the previous ones, and it exploded into a pile of mud on the spot.
Yao Lingyu was affected and screamed. It desperately fled, not daring to come into contact with this wave of Heavenly Lightning.
Only Little Hei dared to face this wave of Heavenly Lightning head-on.
