Woo woo woo——
Suddenly, the heavens and earth changed color. It wasn't just the appearance of a massive tribulation cloud; more importantly, various astonishing phenomena began to emerge one after another, manifesting between heaven and earth.
Visible to the naked eye, thick crimson lightning bolts intertwined continuously. The phantasmal shadows of countless ghosts and demons constantly flickered into existence, accompanied by the wails of spirits and the howls of gods. There were also stunningly beautiful flying immortals emerging, divine beings manifesting, divine lotuses blooming in the void, three thousand divine Buddhas seated throughout the heavens, and other such shocking phenomena appearing one after another, astonishing all who witnessed them.
Was this the spectacle of a Ninth Grade Elixir being born? It was indeed extraordinary, far surpassing the phenomena of an Eighth Grade Elixir.
"Pill Formation!"
At the same time, Grandmaster An Mu suddenly roared. He drew upon vast amounts of the world's energy, directly channeling it into the divine pill within the pill light that had not yet fully solidified. One could see entire alternate dimensions being drained of their divine energy, collapsing one after another.
The onlookers marveled. No wonder it was said that in the later stages, a Pill God could refine entire great worlds into pills. This was no exaggeration, as evidenced by Grandmaster An Mu's pill refinement.
The terrifying Pill Tribulation descended continuously, each bolt immense and thick. There were even various terrifying special tribulations that could rival legendary tribulations, almost comparable to Ye Chen's fifth and sixth layers of tribulation lightning seas.
For this was a Ninth Grade divine pill, a completely different level from Eighth Grade pills, far more terrifying.
However, Grandmaster An Mu was, after all, a grandmaster of his generation and a Great Power in his own right. He possessed sufficient means to resist, continuously unleashing various supreme divine abilities to clash with the Pill Tribulation, though his figure appeared somewhat disheveled.
Boom——
But at this moment, the Pill Lightning that suddenly descended became many times more terrifying, causing Grandmaster An Mu's expression to change abruptly.
He felt he could no longer hold it off. Much of the Pill Lightning even bypassed him, directly striking the Ninth Grade Elixir within the pill light.
"No!"
Grandmaster An Mu urgently shouted. He caused his Dan Cauldron to tremble, shooting skyward to directly shield the Ninth Grade Elixir.
This action surprised many. To protect this single pill, Grandmaster An Mu was willing to risk everything, using his Dan Cauldron as a shield.
One must know that for many alchemists, the importance of a Dan Cauldron surpasses even that of the pills themselves. If a pill is destroyed, it can be refined again. But a Dan Cauldron cannot, especially a grandmaster-level Dan Cauldron belonging to a Ninth Grade Grandmaster. Such a cauldron is naturally even more extraordinary, with few peerless Dan Cauldrons in the mortal world that could match it.
Boom——
A vast expanse of Pill Lightning heavily struck the Dan Cauldron. Brilliant light erupted instantly, destructive power spreading. Even this extraordinary Dan Cauldron directly developed numerous thick cracks, showing signs of imminent destruction.
Crack——
The next moment, the entire Dan Cauldron directly shattered and fragmented, countless cracks crisscrossing its surface before it exploded with a thunderous roar. This shocked countless spectators, and many alchemists secretly shook their heads and sighed. Such a fine grandmaster-level Dan Cauldron was destroyed just like that.
However, at this very moment, everyone clearly saw that within the shattered Dan Cauldron, another cauldron was hidden. It was simple and ancient in appearance, with many mysterious patterns and designs engraved upon it, glowing brilliantly and appearing exceptionally mystical.
The instant this Dan Cauldron appeared, Ye Chen was shocked to discover that his own small alchemy cauldron began to tremble and hum. He immediately looked towards that Dan Cauldron and instantly understood——
The Nine Cauldrons!
That's right, it was one of the Nine Cauldrons. Grandmaster An Mu also possessed one of the Nine Cauldrons.
Similarly, Dan Chen and even many high-level members of the Dan Emperor Clan instantly turned their gazes towards Grandmaster An Mu's Dan Cauldron, their eyes shooting out blazing beams of light, shining brilliantly.
At the same time, Dan Chen looked towards Dan Xu on the main platform and said, "Have all the inductions appeared?"
Dan Xu replied, "They have all gathered!"
"Good!" Dan Chen nodded.
Boom boom boom——
The mysterious Dan Cauldron radiated an immortal brilliance, actually managing to completely resist all the Pill Tribulation. No matter how terrifying the Pill Tribulation became, it could not truly harm the Dan Cauldron in the slightest.
Even more astonishingly, all this Pill Tribulation was completely absorbed. All the divine energy was transformed, becoming nourishment for the Ninth Grade Elixir, making the pill within the cauldron appear even more dazzling and eye-catching. Its body displayed silver, gold, blue, and crimson hues, possessing an unparalleled spirituality.
Buzz buzz buzz——
Visible to the naked eye, after all the Pill Tribulation dissipated, this pill actually shot into the sky with a whoosh.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Grandmaster An Mu naturally would not allow the Ninth Grade Elixir to escape. He reached out to grab it, but the Ninth Grade Elixir erupted with divine might not inferior to that of a Great Power, directly neutralizing Grandmaster An Mu's attempt to block it.
Furthermore, it could be seen that this Ninth Grade Elixir transformed with a shake, actually becoming a True Dragon thousands of li long, soaring through the vast sky. Its entire body radiated a terrifying aura not weaker than that of a fifth or sixth-layer Great Power.
It was astonishing. A Ninth Grade Elixir could be so miraculous, even capable of taking form and possessing its own unique intelligence.
Unfortunately, no matter how extraordinary it was, it was of no use. Those present were all top-tier experts. Grandmaster An Mu was not only a Ninth Grade Alchemy Grandmaster but also a seventh-layer super Great Power. He snorted coldly, flicking his sleeve in an attack that shook the heavens. The True Dragon formed from the Ninth Grade Elixir couldn't help but let out a long roar towards the sky, its massive form quickly disintegrating until only a single, spinning pill remained.
Grandmaster An Mu, quick of eye and hand, directly used his sleeve to encompass the Ninth Grade Elixir, applying layer upon layer of seals before storing it in a specialized treasure for holding pills, suppressing it within.
"Congratulations, Grandmaster An Mu!"
"Congratulations! The birth of a Ninth Grade Elixir is indeed extraordinary!"
Many people from afar cupped their fists in congratulation to Grandmaster An Mu on his successful pill refinement. The appearance of the Ninth Grade Elixir immediately became the most eye-catching point of the entire event.
Dan Chen also cupped his fists from a distance, smiling as he said, "Congratulations, old friend An Mu, on finally succeeding in the refinement. However, our Dan Emperor Clan must reclaim this cauldron now!"
Hearing Dan Chen's sudden change in tone left everyone dumbfounded. Grandmaster An Mu also felt a surge of anger and was about to inquire further. But the next moment, they saw Dan Chen, who should have been in the midst of pill refinement, suddenly abandon his refinement. He did not hesitate to let the divine pill that was about to form within his Dan Cauldron dissolve and be destroyed. Then, he slapped his Dan Cauldron lightly and said, "After so many years, they are finally all gathered. They can fully emerge now!"
These words left many confused, but there was no time to ask questions, for a sudden change occurred!
Boom rumble rumble——
They saw that on Dan Chen's Dan Cauldron, one profoundly mysterious Dao seal after another was successively unlocked. The entire cauldron underwent a transformation, actually emitting a shocking Dao aura. With a boom, it swept across the sky, causing all the experts of the heavens to feel an unparalleled, terrifying pressure.
Even the three Ancient Monarchs from the outside world instantly changed color.
Ye Chen's small alchemy cauldron also trembled violently, as if wanting to shoot into the sky!
