Chapter 709: The Wonderful Uses of Pill Lightning

In the next ten or so minutes, the eight-colored thunderclouds above the horizon continued to churn violently.

Nearly a hundred bolts of terrifyingly powerful lightning shot out from the clouds, viciously striking the painless Heavenly Demon Puppet.

As the eight-colored pill lightning flashed continuously, even the space within tens of meters around the Heavenly Demon Puppet could not withstand the terrifying bombardment and shattered completely, revealing the black void within.

Aside from the few exceptionally strong individuals, everyone else felt shocked upon seeing those black voids and the continually falling gorgeous lightning.

After such relentless bombardment for about ten minutes, the rolling thunderclouds finally dissipated unwillingly as their energy was exhausted.

Under this tremendous lightning force, the aura of the Heavenly Demon Puppet surged rapidly from a Second Transformation Battle Sovereign to a Fourth Transformation Battle Sovereign, and continued to rise.

However, the amount of colored lightning on the puppet's body was simply too much.

Even this Heavenly Demon Puppet, forged from a Seven-Star Battle Sovereign's body, could not absorb so much lightning power at once.

Consequently, the gorgeous pill lightning coiled around the puppet also showed faint signs of losing control.

Even the Heavenly Demon Puppet's extremely sturdy body bore faint, minuscule cracks.

"Good heavens, that puppet seems unable to absorb all that lightning at once; it looks like it's about to burst—should we just run?"

Some sharp-eyed people nearby immediately exclaimed upon seeing this situation.

As soon as the words fell, the people around echoed: "That elder brother makes sense; the aura of this puppet is far beyond even my strength as an Eight-Star Battle Sovereign. If it explodes, the power would be no joke."

"Are you stupid? If that puppet is about to explode, will the Pill Pagoda people just stand by? You'd better just sit tight and watch the show."

"Well, what you say makes even more sense; I'll listen to you, older brother."

In an instant, low whispers spread around the entire square, discussing whether to flee.

However, in the end, the vast majority still chose to stay and continue watching the show.

After all, they believed that if anything happened, the Three Giants of the Pill Pagoda on the high platform would certainly not remain indifferent.

Of course, there were also a few who valued their lives more.

Upon seeing that there seemed to be danger, they hurriedly took advantage of the disappearance of the heavenly might above, gaining freedom to move and rose to run outward.

For a moment, the originally lively square became somewhat chaotic.

"Heh heh, if this puppet explodes right here, there'll be a good show to watch!"

Upon seeing the sight in the sky, Xiao Yan and Mu Gu Lao Ren both instantly revealed gleeful smiles.

Of course, although both were gleeful, their main targets were somewhat different.

Xiao Yan wanted to see Lin Feng lose face here, and after losing a powerful puppet, that vexed expression.

After all, when an enemy is in trouble, it makes oneself happy.

As for Mu Gu Lao Ren, like Xiao Yan, he wanted to see his own enemy lose face.

But his target was the Pill Pagoda.

After all, if such a farce occurs at the Pill Assembly, the Pill Pagoda, as the organizer of the competition, would certainly also lose face.

However, the instigator Lin Feng, upon seeing this situation, wore a satisfied smile.

He had anticipated this situation long ago.

Moreover, he deliberately did it this way.

Because directly contacting all eight-colored pill lightning, with only his one-star Battle Sovereign strength, he would likely be blown to ashes in an instant.

Furthermore, if the Bodhi Pill were to come into contact with that much pill lightning all at once, it could not withstand it and might be ruined.

Therefore, he needed this Heavenly Demon Puppet capable of absorbing lightning power to help him first consume most of the pill lightning.

Subsequently, Lin Feng gazed at the Heavenly Demon Puppet high above, completely enveloped by a mass of gorgeous colored lightning, its true form hidden, and extended his hands, forming seal after seal.

After that, amidst the astonished gazes of countless people, he turned his palm skyward, and a powerful suction force suddenly burst forth from his palm.

Above the horizon, the colored pill lightning enveloping the Heavenly Demon Puppet's body,

At this moment, under that suction, it was forced to rush swiftly toward him.

Without the pill lightning ravaging its body, the Heavenly Demon Puppet in the sky instantly returned to normal, showing no sign of imminent explosion.

Thereafter, it stood still in place, awaiting its master's command.

"Huu~"

After seeing the crisis resolved, everyone let out a great sigh of relief and then sat back down in their seats, at ease.

"Tch!"

As for Xiao Yan and Mu Gu Lao Ren, upon seeing this, they both involuntarily let out a cold snort, feeling deeply disappointed.

However, at this moment Lin Feng, the instant the pill lightning touched his palm, the hairs on his body stood on end from the electric shock.

Even he himself trembled uncontrollably under the violent lightning force.

"No wonder it's the lightning of eight-colored pill medicine—it's terrifying; even this residual lightning power is enough to make this body cultivator struggle to endure. If I had just charged forward head-on to resist that pill lightning earlier, I'd probably be nothing but bones now!"

Gazing at the colored electric ball in his palm, which kept growing until its diameter reached three meters, Lin Feng drew a sharp breath in fear.

At this moment, his body still felt terribly uncomfortable from the pill lightning's electric shock.

It's hard to imagine just how terrifying the full power of eight-colored pill lightning truly is!

Thinking of this, he involuntarily looked up at the Heavenly Demon Puppet in the sky and marveled: "I don't know how this Heavenly Demon Puppet managed to hold up under such terrifying pill lightning without exploding outright."

"No, pill refining is urgent!"

Immediately afterward, he shook his head to dispel the distracting thoughts.

Then he quickly formed a seal with both hands, firmly fixing the electric ball in front of him.

Immediately thereafter, he embraced the thunderball, which spanned several meters, with both hands and struggled to compress it.

"Zap!"

Instantly, the place where Lin Feng stood continuously echoed with the piercing sound of pill lightning resisting wildly.

However, at this point only about one percent of the pill lightning remained—no match for Lin Feng.

In just a short while, that originally two- to three-meter-diameter eight-colored lightning ball was compressed by Lin Feng down to the size of a human brain.

But the colorful light within it became increasingly brilliant!

"Lin Feng took that Pill Thunder, what does he intend to do?"

Watching Lin Feng, after grabbing the Pill Thunder, not immediately throwing it upward to detonate, but instead holding it in hand and continuously compressing, they were instantly baffled.

Could it be that this Pill Thunder, which every alchemist utterly despises, still has some use?
