chapter 2401 the dao of annihilation

the cheering in the plaza, which was even louder than the thunder, was like the caws of millions of crows. however, at this moment, those millions of crows were all killed.

ye qian felt like he had been slapped. he turned to look at long chen and then at the terrifying pill lightning gathering in the sky.

“impossible!”

ye qian screamed. this pill lightning wasn’t his, but long chen’s? he refused to believe it.

long chen’s display from the start had been mediocre. how could this pill lightning possibly be his?

“you don’t believe it? then i’ll explain it. your pill lightning was already smashed apart by my five-colored lightning. this tribulation now has nothing to do with you. do you not see that the eye of the tribulation is pointed at me?” long chen pointed at the center of the five vortexes of lightning. there was a shape similar to an eye there.

the five types of energy were slowly pouring into that eye. a sharp lightning sword condensed there, pointing at long chen.

“how? how is that possible?!”

the divine pill division’s people were filled with disbelief. only the pill doyen had been staring at the tribulation lightning the entire time, seeming to be pondering something.

“if you don’t get out of the way quickly, i won’t care if the lightning splits you apart. i don’t really care about your life or death, but hand over what you wagered first. if not, please write a will,” said long chen.

suddenly, the five-colored lightning sword condensing in the eye of the tribulation shot toward long chen.

the world rumbled as that sword screamed through the air. although it was clearly pointed at long chen, everyone felt a sharp pain in their souls.

boom!

the lightning sword pierced through long chen and his furnace. it exploded, transforming into streams of lightning that spread in every direction.

just as the lightning sword exploded, ye qian finally flew back. however, he was one step too slow, and the lightning brushed against him.nôv(el)b\\jnn

blood-colored flames covered his body, but they were unable to fully protect him. he was sent flying, his face pale. blood leaked out of his mouth.

“the scripture stated that our current techniques for refining the hundred dao merger spirit pill all depend on luck. to absorb the energy of the heavenly daos to condense the pill’s spirituality does not depend on the alchemist, but on the mood of the heavens. we cannot absorb more energy than the heavens are willing to give us. as a result, while the final quality of the pill is affected by the skill of the alchemist, it also depends on the mood of the heavens. the top grade pill that qian-er refined truly is not bad, but a large aspect of that was luck. who can say when the heavens will be willing to give more energy or less? if they’re lucky, the pill will be good. if they’re unlucky, the pill’s quality will be inferior.”

“but what about the pill that long chen is refining?”

“long chen’s method is the one mentioned in that scripture. it is to rely on a person’s power instead of luck. he is grasping every part of the heavenly daos himself and merging them into the pill,” said the pill doyen.

“that’s impossible. no one can control the heavenly daos. not even a god!”

although there were those such as heavenly fate island capable of reading the ephemeral flow of fate, those sects could only vaguely grasp a few things from the future and calculate probabilities of certain events occurring.

that was not the true heavenly daos. no one could truly read the heavenly daos. from ancient times to now, no one had ever managed to fully grasp the heavenly daos.

“this is a question that perhaps only long chen knows the answer to. all i know is that the hundred daos that he gathered into his pill were missing one. he merged ninety-nine daos, leaving the final one to be the dao of annihilation within this pill lightning,” said the pill doyen.

that explanation was something that would have been scoffed at if said by another. but he was the pill doyen, the true number one of the divine pill division.

how was it that the dao of annihilation could be merged into a medicinal pill? the dao of annihilation within pill lightning was used to destroy medicinal pills. wasn’t that contrary?

furthermore, if that was the case, who would possibly consume such a pill? would it not be poison? there were plenty of ways to kill oneself, so there was no need to make it so complicated, right?

perhaps the pill doyen understood, but he didn’t seem to be in the mood to explain it any further. he was focused on long chen, clearly not wanting to be disturbed.

everyone fell silent once more, simply watching as one giant lightning sword after another fell upon long chen. the aura of the pill inside the moon and star refining furnace continued to grow stronger.

however, after a short while, the division head’s expression changed. the runes on the bricks of the plaza were starting to dim. that meant that the lightning was exhausting their energy.

“no need to worry,” said the pill doyen before the division head could give orders.

the lid to the moon and star refining furnace slowly opened. a strange fluctuation came from within. the experts present sensed their own auras within that fluctuation.

“what is going on?”

just at that moment, a fist-sized pill flew into the sky. the heavens rumbled. the five vortexes of lightning merged together into a supreme vortex. following that, a tempest of lightning arrows rained down upon the pill.
