The Geared Immortal

Chapter 537 - Tribulation Pill (2)

Chapter 537

(Unedited)

…

A loud thunderous roar filled the sky followed by a sharp flash of lightning. The purple lightning didn't strike the ground yet but began to roll in the sky as if it is trying to converge all of its energy to gain more power.

The gust began blowing wildly making the robes of many cultivators floating in the air flutters roughly as they tried to resist the strong bellows.

Then suddenly, from the sky, a light purple flash appears.

Everyone was thoroughly stunned at this scene. This is because no one would have thought that the so-called heavenly punishment or tribulation would be this terrifying.

Judging from the strength and power alone of the lightning and its color, one can immediately know that those who would be hit by such a terrifying lightning strike would be immediately turned into dust. The lightning itself is like a huge light purple tree falling from the sky.

Prak! Crash!

Rumble! Rumble!

Boom!!!

Everyone saw the formation trying to resist the lightning almost breaking apart. They can see many crack patterns on the surface of the array formation barrier and those disciples of the sect were immediately scared.

From that first strike alone they can immediately feel the strength of the lightning. This is something they cannot withstand by themselves. Everyone shows a horrible expression on their faces. Many even began flying back and entering the buildings in fear of the strong heavenly tribulation.

"This is… this is the most powerful heavenly tribulation I have seen so far. And it's only the initial strike…" the vice sect leader of the Lotus sect said in astonishment.

Although he knew that he might have a chance to resist such a lightning strike, he is not sure if he can take more than 3 strikes from those.

"Master Jing… This is…" the vice sect leader wanted to say something, but the old man beside him waves his hand.

"It's alright young master Khang… even if this old man would give his life for the sect, I will not let my Blood Moon Sect fall." Do Bo Jing said while patting the shoulder of Dhaling Khang.

"No, we are going to help you, Master Jing. Your sect has just made a huge contribution to the alliance. I will not stand by and let everything fall." Dhaling Khang said with determination.

Although they are not sure yet of the pill's grade, judging from the strength of the lightning tribulation he is sure that it might be a sky or hybrid grade pill, or even a heaven grade pill. If it is any of those, then the pill would be the first in history for thousands of years.

It has been thousands of years since such a pill appears in the continent. This made him feel excited. He is also already eyeing the alchemist that has crafted such a pill.

But of course, they have to determine what kind of pill was crafted first. However, no matter what kind of pill it is, it has already been recorded in history right at this moment.

Crash!!! Boom!!!

Another strike went down which awoken Dhaling Khang from his stupor. He turns his gaze towards the sky and prayed deep in his heart that the array would hold. But deep in his heart he already knew that it would not.

Judging from the cracks on the surface and the rate of repair, it would not be able to last two more strikes.

And not even 10 seconds lasted when another strike appear.

This time the cracks on the surface of the array are already about to shatter the formation.

"Damn… I never thought that the tribulation is this strong. What kind of pill did those alchemists in the laboratory were able to create?"

"If I can survive this, I will learn alchemy. Maybe I can meet that heavenly person."

"Haha… stop daydreaming. Did you see that thick lightning strike? If that breaks the array, our whole sect would be destroyed. Not to mention joining… can you still keep your life?"

"Shut up! The sect leader and the others didn't make a move yet, how can our sect fall?"

The discussion of the disciples goes back and forth as worry can be seen in their eyes. They truly didn't want to die in this place, but they also cannot leave. They are afraid that if they make their move the lightning would stray from its spot and hit them.

"All core disciples start the Yin Yang turtle formation!" shouted the woman wearing a nun's robe.

The woman is Qinyon Jing, a formation expert. She is the great-great-granddaughter of Do Bo Jing and the only one who reached the world nascent realm beside Do Bo Jing in their bloodline. She is very talented since the young and had helped her grandfather in running the sect.

Though she looks like a mature woman in her 30s the truth is that she is already around 300 years of age.

With her command, the floating young men and women who are the core disciples of the sect began moving in the air. Along with their formations comes a strong Qi which erupted from each of them and channels towards the center of the formation.

Then a golden glow transformed into Yin and Yang golden protection.

As soon as the formation was finished it was like the tribulation lightning is waiting for this to challenge.

Pak! Crash! Boom!!!

The lightning strike fell down directly at the center of the Yin Yang Array formation. The impact was so strong that it raised a strong gale of wind throwing all of the core disciples all over the place. The strong force didn't just throw the disciples away, it also causes a strong barrier to be fully broken and destroyed.

Everyone shows panic in their eyes, they didn't expect that the strongest defensive array would not be able to hold on. And it took only three strikes before everything was destroyed.

"No… this cannot be… when I ascended to the world nascent realm, that formation helps me get through until I reached the 10th strike. How could that lightning strike be this powerful… and for only a pill…" Qinyong Jing muttered as fear can be seen on her face.

She truly did not expect that such a thing would happen. However, what made her afraid is the consequence if they are unable to stop the strong purple lightning strike. They are sure that if it continues that strong lightning would the destruction of their Blood Moon sect.

They did not expect that the blessing which could make their sect famous turns out to be their undoing. And might be the destruction of the sect. She gritted her teeth and made a harsh decision.

"Grandfather… Sect master… I think we should activate the sect protection array… if not… then…"

"You know what would happen if we activate the sect protection array. Everyone would be trapped in here for 20 years. I will not permit that. Let this old man face this thing…"

"No, Grandfather… you can't. You can't do this." Qinyon Jing said as panic and anxiety can be seen in her eyes.

"Hehe… I have already lived my life to the fullest. I will leave the sect to the three of you." Do Bo Jing said as he turns towards the sky.

He can feel the strong force in the clouds. He knew that if it would be his death, then he would gladly do so just to protect the sect.

However, before he can move, he suddenly saw a figure slowly floating in the air. His eyes showed confusion and disbelief. Because he knew who that young man is. It was the new disciple who entered the sect.

That young man is the new disciple who has the same aura fluctuation as his senior brother who left this world and enters the other world. The senior brother of his who gave him the strongest technique he has learned and made him stand at the top of the continent as one of its most powerful beings.

Not only did Do Bo Jing notice that figure, but others also noticed him as he flew high up towards the center of the cracked array.

"That kid is crazy… why would he go up there?"

"What a fool, does he think he has a strong armor that can protect him from that powerful heavenly tribulation?"

"Haha… let him die."

The disciples began to discuss back and forth. Some jeered at that person, while others worried. One of those who worried about that figure is the vice sect leader of the Lotus sect. This is because he also recognizes that person.

Shin Jiao has already completely analyzed the pill and to his surprise, the pill that was casually created through an accidental experiment is actually a heavenly pill. A heavenly pill is a pill that is not common and should not have existed in this world. These kinds of pills along with the sky and hybrid grade pills are super rare and could not be made but only gained through chance or luck.

Shin Jiao knew this because he has examined the pills inside the cauldron and was still baffled on how it was made. At that time when the alchemy cauldron was about to erupt an herb suddenly appear inside his mind. All he needs to do is to extract the essence of this herb and combine it with the concoction.

And who would have expected that such a simple action would create an out of this world pill?

But what baffled him the most is the reaction of the pill as the lightning tribulation descended. The strong Qi and mana fluctuation in the air made all the ten pills react. The lid covering the cauldron was blown out as the pills began to revolve wanting to attack the incoming purple lightning.

However, Shin Jiao was quick to act and immediately took out a pill bottle from his ring. He then took out one pill and once he was able to gather them, he immediately put them inside his ring.

He left a single pill and wanted to try out a theory in his mind.. If he is right, then he can name the pill, the tribulation pill.
