Chapter 1933: Chapter 2030: Facing the Heavenly Thunder Alone
The demon beast entered the sea, and the terrifying gray fog began to spread across the Seven Seas. However, because the Seven Seas had already been ravaged by the ancient magic tree, causing a massive number of sea beasts to perish, even as the gray fog dispersed, it absorbed little life force.
But after all, there were still some who slipped through the net, narrowly escaping the calamity brought on by the ancient magic tree, thinking they could survive, only to be confronted with another equally terrifying demon beast, leading those luckiest surviving sea beasts to ultimately suffer the same fate.
The demon beast seemed uninterested in absorbing the life force of the sea beasts, moving almost without pause towards the location of the ancient magic tree, appearing hurried and anxious.
The umbrella-bearer stood above the firmament, watching coldly as the demon beast joined with the ancient magic tree, his expression particularly unsightly.
"They are so eager to act, it seems they don’t want that boy to become stronger any longer. Otherwise, with their personalities, they wouldn’t act so hastily." The umbrella-bearer muttered to himself. He was well aware of the origins of the ancient magic tree and the demon beast and knew exactly what the tree and the beast intended to do at this moment.
However, although he knew, he could not prevent it. As one of the Ancient Spirit Incarnations, he ultimately could not do whatever he wished.
"Hope it’s not too late." The umbrella-bearer sighed inwardly. The events unfolded too suddenly, and he did not know how things would develop further. He had done everything he could, and in the end, she was not the key figure capable of changing everything. What followed could only be left to fate.
At the same time, deep beneath the Ancient Demon Ridge, Fang Lin was drenched in sweat, his entire body exuding a sense of weakness, his eyes wide, staring intently at the Universe Creation Furnace before him.
Though refining this batch of Pills had nearly exhausted Fang Lin mentally and physically, fortunately, the Pills were close to completion, and they did not disappoint him. The Pills crafted using the relics of four Exotic Beasts were indeed extraordinary.
Fang Lin hadn’t experienced such unrestrained joy in a long time. Immersing himself fully in Pill Refining had exhausted almost all of his mental energy. Although he was weary, the outcome filled Fang Lin with unparalleled joy.
"The quality of these Pills is definitely not much lesser than the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill I refined back then," Fang Lin muttered to himself.
Concerning the Pills being refined in front of him, beyond excitement and anticipation, Fang Lin also felt a bit of inexplicable anxiety.
Even Fang Lin himself was unsure of how significant the change brought by these Pills would be.
Fang Lin knew without a doubt that with such a phenomenal Pill Formation Rainbow Light emerging from this batch of Pills, it was impossible to suppress it. Surely, outside, thunderclouds had gathered, preparing to unleash a Heavenly Tribulation to obliterate this batch of Pills.
Just like when the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill was refined, he quietly stayed unbothered in his secret chamber, while outside, chaos reigned.
Fang Lin felt a bit helpless inwardly. If he had predicted that this Pill Refining would create such a commotion, he would have moved to another place in advance instead of refining beneath the Ancient Demon Ridge.
Now, with the Pills nearing completion, it was not an opportune moment to relocate them elsewhere. After all, these weren’t ordinary Pills, and moving the Pill Furnace recklessly at such a critical juncture might cause unforeseen impacts.
As for dragging the Ancient Demon Ridge into the lightning tribulation, Fang Lin could only apologize in his heart to the Great Sage Equal to Heaven and the horde of demons in the Ancient Demon Ridge. As for how they would resist the Heavenly Tribulation, Fang Lin didn’t want to think too much. He trusted the Great Sage Equal to Heaven enough, believing he could fend off the Heavenly Tribulation, preventing the Ancient Demon Ridge from being destroyed by celestial lightning.
In the worst-case scenario, even if the Great Sage Equal to Heaven couldn’t withstand the Heavenly Tribulation, there was still the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree. This was an existence that even the Ancient Spirit of Mountain Tu couldn’t destroy. What was the Heavenly Tribulation in comparison?
Rumble!!!
The entire ten-thousand-mile radius of the Ancient Demon Ridge was completely shrouded by pitch-black thunderclouds, these rolling black clouds forming a massive net across the firmament, weighing heavy, making it hard to breathe.
The demon beasts within the Ancient Demon Ridge grew increasingly uneasy. The scale of these thunderclouds was so unprecedentedly large that no one knew how terrifying the thunderous lightning would be.
The Great Sage Equal to Heaven stood atop the highest peak of the Ancient Demon Ridge, adorned in a red robe and golden armor, with a golden iron rod standing beside him. His Golden Flame Eyes gazing up into the heavens, exuding an extraordinary momentum as if ready to confront the Heavenly Tribulation alone.
Indeed, this was precisely the case!
The Great Sage Equal to Heaven had instructed all other demon beasts within the Ancient Demon Ridge not to intervene; he intended to face the oncoming celestial lightning alone.
This was not only to shield the Ancient Demon Ridge from the Heavenly Tribulation but also to temper his own physical body.
As for how much he could achieve, even the Great Sage Equal to Heaven did not know. After all, he had never before attempted to withstand celestial lightning directly, and this was not ordinary celestial lightning but a divine thunder penalty for the emergence of a Peerless Treasure Pill, aimed to obliterate it, a force too powerful to describe.
After standing for a while, within those black clouds, silver flood dragons roiled, a testament to the overwhelming abundance of the heavenly thunder power, and both the size and number of these thunder dragons rapidly increased.
Although the Great Sage Equal to Heaven was full of confidence and utterly unafraid of this heavenly thunder, seeing this terrifying scale of lightning, he couldn’t help but inwardly click his tongue.
Rumble!!!
Finally, a lightning flood dragon roared downward, the firmament flashing with silver, making it hard for the many demons below to keep their eyes open.
The Great Sage Equal to Heaven shouted, punching as he did, causing the lightning flood dragon to collapse upon impact, scattering into specks of silver light dissipating everywhere.
Yet this punch seemed to provoke the other lightning flood dragons within the thunderclouds, causing the clouds to churn and reverberate with deafening thunder.
The next moment, countless lightning flood dragons surged forth, resembling an indomitable army charge, their might terrifying, akin to a catastrophe descending.
The Great Sage Equal to Heaven’s expression changed. Initially, he thought the Heavenly Tribulation would brew for a while longer, not expecting it to erupt so suddenly, giving him no transition time.
But this was precisely what the Great Sage Equal to Heaven was delighted to see. Immediately, he refrained from using his weapon, diving directly into the rolling thunder to clash with the innumerable lightning flood dragons.
The demon beasts throughout the Ancient Demon Ridge watched this spectacle. Seeing the Great Sage Equal to Heaven swallowed in the silvery light, they couldn’t help but feel worried and tense. After all, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven was their only pillar at the moment. If something happened to him, they feared they couldn’t escape even in the Ancient Demon Ridge.
But soon, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven’s form emerged once again, those seemingly rampant bolts of lightning unable to reach him, instead his self-radiating golden light shone even brighter, appearing exceedingly dazzling amidst the endless silver thunder.
