Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bolts of silver-white lightning rolled within the clouds, thunder rumbling, flashes darting about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark clouds above grew denser and denser, like black clouds pressing a city to ruin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around the central plaza, the nine Alchemy Dragon Pillars seemed to respond to the aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden power surged upon them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nine pillars linked together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the critical moment of the Golden Crow Furnace, a deafening boom split the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blinding thunderbolt fell, like dawn light tearing through darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It crackled violently through the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, from the nine Alchemy Dragon Pillars, nine golden dragons soared into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their roars resounded through Brahma City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brilliant golden radiance filled the heavens, blocking the thunderbolts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the lightning would not relent, more bolts struck down amidst thunderous roars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They tried to shatter the barrier of the dragon pillars, but to no avail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For those nine pillars existed precisely to counter pill tribulations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From within the Golden Crow Furnace came harsh noises, its tremors growing more violent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it shook, the surrounding void was incinerated, nothing could draw near.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After five or six minutes, Green Cloud’s aura surged to its peak. His robes billowed, his long hair danced without wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The furnace once again transformed into the phantom of the golden crow, soaring through the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During all this, the lightning tribulation above never ceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden crow cried out as it flapped, and Green Cloud opened his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crow flew into his hand, instantly dissipating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In its place was a single black pill, resting in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the pill took shape, the thunder above gradually faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the pill was complete, the tribulation naturally dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening his hand, Green Cloud revealed the black pill.
