Lan Xun was able to realize the mysteries of this method with her First-Order Dao Source Realm cultivation, so the Third-Order Dao Source Realm cultivators present could as well.
None of them understood why, but as they observed Yang Kai execute his Pill Condensing method, many cultivators were involuntarily drawn into a kind of enlightened state, their tension and anticipation fading away as they unknowingly immersed in a state of comprehension.
At a certain moment, Yang Kai suddenly roared, “Solidify!”
Seemingly having exhausted all his strength, Yang Kai patted the furnace with both his palms as his body shook slightly.
Along with his movements, a ding-dong sound suddenly sounded from the Alchemy Furnace.
At the same time, rays of multi-coloured light burst from the Black Jade Furnace.
Success!
At that moment, everyone understood that the refinement of the Extraordinary Treasure Pills… had succeeded!
Everyone began pushing their Source Qi, wanting to rush towards the place where Yang Kai stood and snatch this peerless pill that could clear their path to the Emperor Realm.
It was then, though, that the world trembled and a muffled sound echoed in everyone’s head.
An astonishing pressure descended from above, causing everyone to go stiff as some even felt their breath catch in their chest.
Everyone turned their eyes up towards the sky where dark clouds had at some unknown point appeared. Lightning and thunder shuttled across these black clouds as a kind of vast aura filled the air and made all present feel a deep sense of insignificance.
“Pill Tribulation!” Lan Xun exclaimed as a look of panic appeared in her beautiful eyes for the first time.
“So, you’ve come!” Yang Kai mumbled lowly.
Even before he began refining the Extraordinary Treasure Pill, Yang Kai had faintly guessed that this refining might lead to a Pill Tribulation.
The effects of the Extraordinary Treasure Pill were too Heaven defying, to the point that its mere existence was intolerable to the Heavens. Once it successfully came into being, the omnipresent World Principles would naturally try to destroy it!
Looking at the ferocity of this Pill Tribulation, it would likely be even more ferocious than if a Third-Order Dao Source Realm cultivator was trying to break through to the Emperor Realm. How could a trivial Spirit Pill withstand such destructive impetus? Likely a single blow would be all that is necessary to disintegrate these pills. Even if Yang Kai was at full strength right now and used everything he had to guard them, whether these newly refined Extraordinary Treasure Pills could survive this Pill Tribulation was doubtful.
Once that happened, all his efforts and everyone’s expectations would burst into nothingness.
At the critical moment, Yang Kai patted his Alchemy Furnace and at the same time moved his Divine Sense.
In the next moment, Liu Yan turned into a ray of flames, shot out from the Black Jade Furnace, and was directly collected by Yang Kai into the Small Sealed World.
Without anyone noticing, Liu Yan had swept away some of the Extraordinary Treasure Pills from the furnace.
At this moment, everyone’s attention had been drawn to the Pill Tribulation, so who would notice Liu Yan’s actions? Even if someone did see Yang Kai’s Artifact Spirit return, they would likely not have imagined that she had swept away some of the Extraordinary Treasure Pills as well.
Soon, something that surprised everyone happened.
High up in the sky, the Pill Tribulation which had just condensed began to dissipate, its frightening thunder and lightning fading away and disappearing.
After only ten breaths, calm had been restored, leaving only some lingering fear in everyone’s heart as they glanced around in confusion.
