Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 741 - Attracting Heavenly Lightning
In her chair, Mou Li watched closely as Zhang En's potion fused seamlessly, her hands hidden under the sleeves clenched tightly.
Inwardly, Mou Li repeatedly prayed, "Exploding, exploding, exploding, for me!"
Mou Li watched unblinkingly, all her focus fixed on Zhang En's every move. However, the potion that was in the process of merging did not explode.
Instead, as more and more herb essences merged into one, the light emitted grew brighter.
A few minutes passed
More and more herbs had been combined together.
Watching all the potions being completely purified and combined into one, Mou Li who had been praying endlessly in her heart was finally angered to see that it had still not exploded, shouting. "Fuck you, explode for me !!"
The entire competition square that had been quiet since then, was shaken by the sudden burst of anger of Mou Li who was rumbling like thunder, making everyone stunned as they slowly turned to look at him.
Mou Li suddenly became conscious, however, the words that came out of her mouth could not be retracted.
Chu Yan who had always considered this Mou Li to be unsightly by her, and was right behind her, sneered, mocking, “What does Elder Mou Li expect in the process of pill formation Zhang En is that the potion explodes? I didn't expect an Elder like you to have such feelings for participants to fail.”
Hearing such words from Chu Yan's mouth, You Shang burst into laughter. A few drops of saliva flew out from his mouth and his body bent, trembling. His laughter seemed exaggerated, infecting the other Elders as well.
Mou Li's face turned black like charcoal, turning uglier due to the small laughter coming from around.
In the place where Zhang En was, when all of his herb essences had fully merged, a crisp humming sound could be heard, a brilliant light extending outwards as the scent of the potion gradually evolved into the scent of a pill, the sound of a brilliant light expanding outward, like a never ending wave.
This phenomenon lasted for over half an hour before the buzz of pill condensation that was lurking could be heard from Zhang En's pill furnace.
The light emanating from the essence of the potion that had merged became too dazzling to be seen. The next second, thunder rumbled high in the air as dark clouds swirled over the square.
Now, all the elders were fully focusing their attention on Zhang En.
"The celestial driver appeared so quickly, I wonder how many waves of heavenly lightning he will be pulling by Zhang En!" Chu Yan commented.
“With his technique and adding to Zhang En's current strength, it should be seven waves. Pulling eight waves is a bit difficult, let alone nine!” You Shang said with a serious expression.
The other elder nodded in agreement hearing You Shang's words.
Usually in the past, the participant who could concoct pills by drawing the heavenly lightning seven was definitely the winner of the competition rank.
However, there are some exceptions.
Occasionally, eight waves of heavenly lightning could appear, but even so, for the ninth wave of heavenly lightning, it only existed in a record in their Alchemist Union archive and had never seen it. It was because only a 10-star Gold God Cultivator and above could withstand the power of the ninth heavenly lightning wave!
Mou Li then sneered, “Until the moment the pill condensation is complete, any accident can happen. Who knows, that furnace could explode in the next moment!"
RUMBLEEE!!
At this moment, the first lightning strike fell towards the pill furnace. Zhang En pointed his finger towards the incoming lightning and easily scattered it, causing the pure lightning power to fall and fuse into his collection of herb essences.
RUMBLEEE!!!!
The next bolt of lightning had already rumbled in the dark clouds above, stronger than the lightning that had come first several times.
Zhang En dispersed the second lightning strike without any effort.
RUMBLEEE!!!
RUMBLEEE!!!
The waves of heavenly lightning had fallen consecutively.
Half an hour later.
“This is the sixth heavenly lightning, Zhang En has attracted six waves of heavenly lightning!” The crowd watched with anticipation
Zhang En steadily continued with another finger attack, scattering the lightning it allowed the pure lightning power to fuse with the pill.
"I heard that Zhang En's cultivation was in the Five Star Gold God Realm, but judging from how easy it was for him to withstand the sixth wave of lightning, it was possible for him to resist the sixth wave of lightning, I think he can also withstand the seventh wave of heavenly lightning."
As the crowd shared their thoughts with their comrades, lightning had already struck again.
RUMBLEEE!!!
This seventh wave of heavenly lightning consisted of seven lightning strikes that were similar to dragons. The overwhelming destructive power they exuded exerted a great pressure on the cultivators throughout the square.
In a split second, the tribulation lightning reached Zhang En. The average Seven Star Golden God would find it difficult to take a single lightning strike of this level.
As for Zhang En, he had pointed his palm towards the sky, slapping it towards the lightning that fell from above.
The seventh streaks of heavenly lightning were scattered in front of the strength of Zhang En's palm.
Seeing this, Mou Li's face was filled with anger, a hint of red coloring her eyes.
“Jeez!! Zhang En is now attracting the eighth wave of heavenly lightning!”
All the crowd were in a commotion, Mou Li who heard the commotion, looked up at the sky.
On top of Zhang En's crown of heads, an eighth wave of heavenly lightning had already formed and attacked.
RUMBLEEE!!!
Looking at the eight thick streaks of lightning, Zhang En's soul force whirled swiftly and sent the energy in his fist as he punched out.
YAAARRRRRRR!!!!
The deafening explosion seemed to shake heaven and earth.
During this short span of time, Mou Li felt her heart beating fast.
Mu Hawk who was still in the middle of his pill refining felt dizzy as he watched Zhang En earlier resist the seventh heavenly lightning. He felt like he was going to faint at this moment.
“This is the ninth heavenly lightning strike!
This Zhang En actually pulled out the ninth level heavenly lightning wave!!”
Everyone in the crowd spoke, shouted, exclaimed at once. Mu Hawk peeked again at the lightning that appeared above.
In the main seat of the elders, Mou Li, Chu Yan, was,
You Shang, and the other elders jumped to their feet in astonishment.
“How many hundred thousand years have passed since someone drew the ninth rank heavenly lightning ?! If the refinement of the Zhang En imi pill succeeded, it would shock the entire realm and countless worlds! The winner of this competition was Zhang En!
“Do not exaggerate himself! The ninth heavenly lightning wave was not easy to pass through. I'll bet that Zhang En's pill will explode!"
All the elders heard Mou Li whisper in a soft voice.
A ferocious light flickered in Mou Li's eyes as he stared fixedly at Zhang En's every move. Inwardly, he screamed like a madman, 'Ill explode, explode, explode, this old man wants you to explode!'
Seeing the ninth wave of tribulation lightning had fallen, the calm on Zhang En's face disappeared.
The next instant, the shadow of the palm of the buddha's arm spread from his back, accompanied by the shadow of the dragon figure flying towards the heavenly lightning, spreading it out.
“He really held it!”
"The pill that Zhang En produced must be the God Pill
heavenly grade rank nine! Zhang En must be first rank!"
"Furthermore, will Zhang En be able to draw the tenth wave of heavenly lightning and refine the legendary rank ten heavenly God Pill that only existed in ancient times ?!"
Some cultivators in the crowd of spectators asked their comrades.
