Chapter 412: Reincarnation Thunder
"Reincarnation Thunder! Reincarnation Thunder! This is actually the legendary Reincarnation Thunder!"
"Hahaha... As expected of my Long Clan's alchemy genius; to be heaven-defying to such a degree, I fear there has never been another in all of history."
"The championship of this Alchemy Competition belongs to my Long Clan. I concede! I concede! Hahaha..."
Long Xiaoyao cupped his hands toward the surroundings with a face full of smiles, then, unable to control himself any longer, burst into wild, excited laughter.
The crowd of Long Clan Gu cultivators watching were all clenching their fists in excitement, then followed suit by laughing loudly; their long-tense nerves finally relaxed at this moment. They understood that in this high-stakes gamble against the Feng Clan, their Long Clan had won for sure.
At this moment, even Little White, who understood nothing in the crowd, finally realized what had happened.
Someone had actually refined a pill that summoned the legendary ninth-ranked Reincarnation Thunder.
Such terrifying news was like a thunderclap on a clear day; everyone was stunned.
The massive crowd of onlookers all had flushed, excited faces, crazily discussing it with those around them.
The appearance of the Reincarnation Thunder caused the crowd to boil over; most people were so excited they lost their reason.
But quite a few people quickly returned to normal. As if they had suddenly thought of something, their faces turned pale, and they began to desperately squeeze their way out of the crowd.
That was a Heavenly Tribulation! How terrifying is the might of a Heavenly Tribulation? Even the tenth-ranked Life-Extinguishing Thunder is enough to destroy all things in heaven and earth, let alone the higher-ranked Reincarnation Thunder?
Watching the Reincarnation Thunder descend from close range—one would truly die without even knowing how.
Of course, this was also because the Heavenly Tribulation had not descended for too long. Many ignorant people did not understand what a Heavenly Tribulation was before this, so how could they understand its terror?
How could Feng Tiancheng be someone who didn't understand the Heavenly Tribulation? The Western Region Alchemy Competition had been held countless times. For over ten thousand years, no contestant had ever refined a spirit pill that summoned a Heavenly Tribulation—not a single case.
Who could have imagined that in this Alchemy Competition, someone would be able to refine a pill capable of summoning a Heavenly Tribulation, and that three people had done it all at once?
This was fatal. He had never once thought that someone could summon a Heavenly Tribulation at the Alchemy Competition, so he had subconsciously arranged the competition venue in the Imperial City.
All previous Western Region Alchemy Competition venues had also been arranged in the imperial cities of various nations.
Such an arrangement was originally fine, but if someone summoned a Heavenly Tribulation during the competition, the trouble would be huge.
The power of the Heavenly Tribulation is truly too terrifying. What could withstand its bombardment? Once this Heavenly Tribulation descended on the Imperial City, it would likely be destroyed in an instant.
Arranging the finals in the Imperial City was simply courting death.
Thinking of this, Feng Tiancheng's face turned white. Soon, with a ferocious expression, he shouted loudly: "Open the City-Protecting Great Array for me immediately! Open all the formations in the entire city; don't try to save Spirit Stones for me!"
"Damn it! We're in big trouble now!" Feng Tiancheng cast a vicious glare at Long Xuan, his expression suddenly turning ruthless as he immediately charged toward him.
Today, no matter what, he could not let the Heavenly Tribulation descend. This was the ninth-ranked Reincarnation Thunder; he didn't have the confidence that the City-Protecting Great Array could defend against its bombardment.
He wanted to kill to stop it, but how could Long Xiaoyao on the side let him have his way? He immediately took action to intercept him and sneered:
"What, seeing that you're about to lose, you want to flip the table and play the rogue?"
"If you can't afford to lose, don't play. Even if you kill someone in front of everyone, how will your Feng Clan convince the masses?"
Feng Tiancheng was intercepted and felt extremely anxious. He had already lost ten of his life-bound Gu worms; how could he be Long Xiaoyao's match at this moment? Bypassing his interception to kill Long Xuan was simply impossible.
"Damn it! Get out of my way! That is the Reincarnation Thunder! Do you know how terrifying the might of the Reincarnation Thunder is? Once it descends on this densely populated area, people will die!" Feng Tiancheng roared like a madman.
The fight between the two finally woke up the crowd that had fallen into madness.
After many people regained their reason, they finally thought of something; their faces all changed, and they crazily ran outward.
"Bad! Run!"
"Damn it!"
"Why aren't you running yet! Daring to watch the Heavenly Tribulation! Are you courting death?"
The crowd was in complete chaos; everyone had pale faces and ran outward like madmen.
At this moment, it wasn't just the onlookers; people all over the city realized things were not looking good when they saw this terrifying scene, and they crazily ran toward the outside of the city. The entire city was in chaos!
At this moment, the crowd no longer had their earlier excitement; they wished they had four legs as they ran for their lives toward the city gates.
"Damn it! Something huge has happened!"
The Gu Kings on the high platform also put away their excited expressions and revealed solemn looks.
Looking at the black clouds in the sky already filled with white lightning, the accumulated might becoming increasingly terrifying, everyone's faces turned ugly.
Even the judges on the high platform had conflicted expressions, not knowing whether they should leave or not.
The might of the Reincarnation Thunder is far from what the Gu King realm can withstand; how could they not be afraid?
Finally, a cowardly one put their life first, disregarding their reputation as they jumped off the high platform and ran far away.
Where there is a first, there will be a second.
Seeing someone take the lead, the Gu Kings on the high platform jumped off one after another, and in the blink of an eye, they had vanished.
At this moment, how could they dare to stay here? Continuing to stay here was simply courting death.
Of course, there were also bold ones. They hid a bit further away, eyes burning as they looked toward the square, their expressions extremely excited, preparing to witness this spectacular scene that only happens once in ten thousand years with their own eyes.
Curiosity killed the cat; there were not a few people with this mentality.
Fen Tian Old Ancestor and Qi Tian Lao Zu looked at the sky with solemn eyes, exchanged a glance, and revealed bitter expressions.
So what if he is the number one alchemist? So what if he was the number one alchemist two hundred years ago?
At this moment, these two big-shot figures of the alchemy world had become foils for a junior.
They had lost, lost to a tiny Third Grade Alchemist, and they had lost four rounds in a row, with their total scores being left behind by a whole street.
At this moment, both of them felt their faces burning; they had no face left.
Seeing that the Heavenly Tribulation was about to descend, although the two had extremely solemn expressions, they did not run far away immediately.
It wasn't that they were overly confident in their own strength, even though the red tribulation cloud they had summoned had been miserably swallowed by the white tribulation cloud.
But every advantage has a disadvantage. Although the Heavenly Tribulation had disappeared, the pills inside the alchemy furnace had not.
For them, the disappearance of the Heavenly Tribulation was not necessarily a bad thing. Without the interference of the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, their furnace of pills could be fully refined.
At this moment, there was still some time before the pills were formed. Once they left, the heaven-defying spirit pills about to be refined would be ruined. Naturally, they couldn't just leave this furnace of pills behind.
They were simply unwilling to give up such heaven-defying spirit pills. Gritting their teeth, they could only hold on.
One must know that the seats for the finals were arranged according to the total score ranking.
The two old demons' total scores were closest to Long Xuan's, so they were Long Xuan's neighbors, sitting right next to him. Once the Heavenly Tribulation descended, their situation would be extremely dangerous... (End of chapter)
