As if responding to a blue sun, a thunderous roar resounded from the thick clouds, causing Qingyang, Shangguan tong, and the others to feel a splitting pain in their eardrums, as if their heads were splitting apart.
Shangguan tong was some distance away from Qingyang, and he saw Qingyang looking up into the sky with a face full of rage, as if he was roaring, but what he was saying was already drowned by the thunder in the sky.
"This divine pill … the divine tribulation is a bit strange." He mumbled softly, looked at the center of the whirlpool in the sky and pondered, "Such a great power, could it be the Nine Tattoos Divine Pill Tribulation?"
Azure Sun didn't know, but as a divine alchemist, Shangguan Lu naturally knew the power of divine heavenly tribulation. If it was a Three-Striped or Six-Striped divine pill, they wouldn't have such great power; in comparison, the power of the first two bolts of heavenly tribulation wasn't that outstanding.
However, the first two bolts of Azure Sun were almost as powerful as the third one of the divine tribulation. Even the first two bolts of divine tribulation wouldn't be so fierce. Thinking about it, it was indeed strange.
However, this was what Shangguan Dun was thinking. He couldn't help Qingyang or inform him now. Looking at the third bolt of heavenly thunder that was gathering strength in midair, everyone present had a serious expression on their faces.
"What on earth is this damn thing trying to do?" Even if the pill I made is a godly pill, there's no need to hack me like this! " Qingyang was also accumulating his potential to withstand the third bolt of divine lightning. However, he could faintly feel a pair of eyes staring at him from within the thick clouds. This made him extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing that the third bolt of lightning was about to land, Shangguan Lu tried to send a sound transmission to Qingyang, warning him not to take it head-on. It was best if he could use his own strength to expel the lightning.
However, he was surprised to find that his spiritual sense was completely blocked when it was about one meter away from Qingyang. It was as if the space around Qingyang was completely isolated.
When Shangguan Sheng was puzzled, he saw the third bolt of lightning, as thick as a bucket, land heavily on Qingyang.
Like a gorgeous silver pillar of light, it wrapped directly around the Azure Sun. One could barely make out a black humanoid foot floating off the ground. It was unknown whether it was being electrocuted or not.
The silver light from the bolt of lightning pierced the eyes of Shangguan Tian and the others, causing them to turn around in succession, worried about the Azure Sun Sect.
This was especially so for Shangguan Sheng who was extremely shocked. Even though he had never personally witnessed the Nine Tattoos Divine Pill Tribulation, it was not as powerful as the one described in the Book of Alchemy.
"What kind of heaven defying pills did Brother Yang Chou concoct by relying on those herbs?" to actually invite such a vicious heavenly tribulation! " With a sigh, he felt both admiration and sympathy for Qingyang and Shangguan Sheng.
The thought had only occurred in the time it took for the third bolt of lightning to fall on the ground. When the lightning struck, Qingyang's protective True Fire only lasted for a moment before dissipating. Now, Qingyang's body was restricted by the lightning.
He couldn't move, he couldn't scream, he couldn't circulate the fires of his life within his body. He was like a spectator, quietly watching the terrifying power of thunder and lightning wantonly wreaking havoc within his body, endlessly destroying his bones, meridians, and his organs.
The slivers of silver thunder and lightning energy were like small snakes scurrying at high speed. They seeped into every pore of Qingyang's skin and drilled into his bones, organs, muscles, and meridians. It was simply invincible.
The only thing he could do was to rely on his internal primordial flames and the power of the wood to defend himself from the power of thunder and lightning. He could only repair his damaged meridians and bones endlessly, breaking them down and rebirth them again and again.
Every time his bones broke into pieces and his meridians broke into threads, the pain could not be described with words. The muscles would tear, and before the blood could spurt out, it would be completely repaired, instantly torn apart by the ridiculing electric snakes.
Although the power of lightning was ferocious and rampant, there was still one benefit. It brought about an extremely strong feeling of numbness.
After an unknown period of time, perhaps thousands of years, perhaps in an instant, Qingyang's body had already lost all feeling, and the innate true flame and wood power within his body had also been exhausted. Looking at the inexhaustible electric snake within his body, Qingyang bitterly smiled in his heart: "Am I really going to lose my life to this inexplicable divine lightning?"
Could it be that his father and mother's blood feud, the hopes of his people, and his beautiful waiting had truly died here?
Grief, loss, regret, guilt, all sorts of emotions came flooding in.
"Just what happened …" Just before he lost consciousness, a golden light flashed past Qingyang's eyes as he mumbled softly. It was unknown if it was Wentian who was asking him or Qin Wentian.
The dense clouds in the sky scattered in all directions, and the light pillar also gradually dimmed down. Shangguan Chen and the others also turned their heads to look towards the Azure Sun Sect.
"It's only a tribulation of the Trilogy, why is it so mighty?" "It's much stronger than the Nine-striped Pill Tribulation!" Staring at the retreating thick clouds in shock, Shangguan Sheng knew that the divine pill heavenly tribulation had passed. The three strikes of lightning were naturally the tribulation of pills with three stripes.
"Patriarch, that Mr. Yang seems to …" Seeing that the heavenly tribulation had passed, several elders all floated to Shangguan Sheng's side. One of the elders said in a deep voice with a frown.
Hearing this, Shangguan Sheng was stunned. He immediately shot his soul consciousness towards the Azure Sun, but he couldn't sense any life on its body. Not even a trace of its soul fluctuations could be felt.
Looking down, the charred object could only barely make out the shape of a person. His clothes had naturally been completely burnt, and as for Qingyang, he was now like a piece of charred charcoal, his entire body emitting a pungent smell.
"Brother Yang Chou!" He quickly bent down and channeled some of the life force in his body into Qingyang's broken body, but there was no response.
"Dun'er, don't waste your efforts anymore, this little brat Yang is probably …" Shangguan Li rushed to the inner courtyard from nowhere and sighed softly as he stood beside Shangguan Tun. His tone was filled with regret and a trace of sympathy.
Indeed, not only did Qingyang have no life left, his bones and meridians had all exploded, and his skin was charred like a piece of bark by the lightning. The sight of it could not be described with words.
"It's my fault that I tried to test Brother Yang Chou. Sigh." With a long sigh, Shangguan Sheng's eyes were full of remorse. Although they were not close friends, the pill refining competition had been orchestrated by Shangguan Sheng, no matter what.
"Forget it, perhaps this is the life of this kid Yang." Shangguan Li couldn't bear to look anymore at that broken body. He turned around and said lightly, "This little brat Yang has saved my Shangguan family, but now he has died because of it. Send someone to check if he has a family elder, my Shangguan family will support him until the end of his life."
When Shangguan Li thought of this kid who had been refining pills with his life, Shangguan Li trembled a little and left with large strides after saying those words.
"As for that kid Yang, he's been buried."
