Chapter 414

"What is that? Even the City-Protecting Great Array of Heavenly Phoenix City couldn't withstand a single strike of the Heavenly Tribulation, yet this thing can completely ignore its power!"

In the distance, Qin Shang looked at the Gu worm with a face full of shock, shouting in disbelief.

The God of Gamblers uncharacteristically revealed a solemn expression and said very seriously: "This is a Gu worm that has never appeared even in ancient times. There isn't even a Gu worm with similar abilities. It cannot be ruled out that it was created by him."

"This child is truly a heaven-sent genius. Being able to manipulate the power of the Heavenly Tribulation means he must be invincible among his peers. The future of this child cannot be underestimated."

"Oh? In that case, doesn't this Gu belong to my Long Clan's unique Gu formula? It truly is a heaven-defying unique Gu formula!" Long Xiaoyao stroked his beard and smiled, then turned to look at Feng Tiancheng on the side and said:

"What do you say now? Whether this Gu can withstand all the Heavenly Tribulations is an unknown. If the pills are destroyed by the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, does it count toward the score?"

"However, even if it doesn't count, it doesn't matter. Now, the pills of both Fen Tian Old Ancestor and Qi Tian Lao Zu have been destroyed by the power of the Heavenly Tribulation."

"If the pills of all three people don't count, then my clan's Long Yuyao has the highest total score in the entire arena. No matter the situation, my Long Clan wins."

Feng Tiancheng clenched his fists, his face looking extremely ugly. He didn't reply, his eyes fixed on the central area of Heavenly Phoenix City.

That area had already been destroyed by the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, and the economic losses were immeasurable. His heart was simply dripping blood; how could he have the mood to respond to Long Xiaoyao?

A highly respected Fourth Grade Alchemist in the crowd spoke up: "Of course it counts. According to the rules of ancient times, it counts."

"In the distant era, alchemy had developed to its peak. Pill formulas that could summon Heavenly Tribulations emerged one after another, and there were also many alchemy geniuses who could refine pills that summoned Heavenly Tribulations."

"In the Alchemy Competitions of ancient times, it was a common occurrence for pills refined by alchemy geniuses to summon Heavenly Tribulations, but few people could protect the pills under the power of the Heavenly Tribulation."

"Therefore, in all Alchemy Competitions in ancient times, as long as the refined pill summoned a Heavenly Tribulation, it counted toward the score regardless of whether it successfully survived the Heavenly Tribulation."

Feng Tiancheng did not argue, because the situation was exactly as Long Xiaoyao said. Whether the pills destroyed by the Heavenly Tribulation counted toward the score or not, the Long Clan won. Since the result was the same, he naturally had no reason to argue.

"Hehe! Since that's the case, the outcome of this competition is already without suspense." After the God of Gamblers looked at Feng Tiancheng and Wang Hu, he continued:

"I now announce that in the gamble between the Long Clan Alliance and the Feng Clan Alliance, the Long Clan Alliance wins, and the Feng Clan Alliance loses half of its clan luck to the Long Clan Alliance."

"In the gamble between the Huiyue Empire and the Yan Ting Empire, the Yan Ting Empire wins, and the Huiyue Empire loses half of its clan luck to the Yan Ting Empire!"

"This Alchemy Competition was truly wonderful. This trip was worth it! Hahaha..."

Amidst the laughter of the God of Gamblers, all the Feng Clan Gu cultivators and Wang Clan Gu cultivators felt as if they had lost something. Whether it was psychological or not, the Gu cultivators of both clans revealed ugly expressions, and some even fell into despair.

Conversely, the Gu cultivators of the Long Clan and Qin Clan cheered. They felt as if they had gained something, and whether it was psychological or not, it made everyone feel extremely refreshed.

Amidst the conversations of the crowd, the final Heavenly Tribulation finally descended from the sky.

There were a total of thirty-six Reincarnation Thunders, each strike stronger than the last. Unknowingly, thirty-six Reincarnation Thunders had already descended in the city. This final Reincarnation Thunder was as thick as a well mouth, and it struck down without mercy.

Although the Calamity Gu was already covered in scars and exhausted, at this moment, it was spirited, and its eyes were bright.

Seeing this well-mouth-thick Heavenly Tribulation descend, it was not afraid at all. Its eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and it flew toward the Heavenly Tribulation again.

"Boom!"

In the shocked gaze of everyone, the Calamity Gu was knocked flying again, but this well-mouth-thick Heavenly Tribulation was also shattered, scattering and flying to other places, causing further devastation all over the city.

As luck would have it, one of the lightning rays happened to land on the alchemy furnace.

"Boom!"

How could the alchemy furnace withstand the bombardment of the Heavenly Tribulation? Under this Heavenly Tribulation, it was directly blasted into pieces.

Seeing this scene, everyone revealed looks of regret.

Did it fail? Many people thought with disappointment in their hearts. Not being able to see with their own eyes what the spirit pill that summoned the Heavenly Tribulation looked like was simply a regret of a lifetime.

Just when everyone was disappointed to the extreme, a glowing green pill flew out, attracting everyone's attention.

I saw that this pill was emerald green all over, emitting a charming green light. Inside the pill, one could faintly see a human phantom moving back and forth.

A human phantom inside a pill—one could see its extraordinary nature.

At this moment, everyone perked up, revealing excited looks, secretly sighing that it was worthy of being a spirit pill that could summon a Heavenly Tribulation; its appearance was truly unique.

"It succeeded, it succeeded, hahaha... Never expected that this child, a mere Third Grade Alchemist, could actually successfully survive the Reincarnation Tribulation! And refine a pill capable of summoning a Heavenly Tribulation."

"How heaven-defying is a pill that can summon a Reincarnation Tribulation? I can't wait!"

Long Xiaoyao looked at the green pill flying into the sky with burning eyes, his excitement simply impossible to suppress.

At this moment, everyone's breathing was rapid, their eyes fixed on that pill. This pill had already attracted everyone's heart and soul.

"What a pity. The full pill count for this pill formula is actually one."

Qin Shang revealed a look of regret. According to the rules, if a contestant only refines one pill, then this pill belongs to the competition organizer.

The competition organizer consists of ten nations; one pill is simply not enough to divide.

The leaders of the various nations were already flickering their eyes, harboring evil intentions, thinking about how to distribute this heaven-defying pill next.

The God of Gamblers smiled: "It's normal for the full pill count to be only one. The more heaven-defying the pill, the fewer the number of pills refined. This is a natural law. It's impossible for such a heaven-defying pill to give you dozens in one furnace."

"Since the Heavenly Tribulation has ended, let's go over!"

"Tsk tsk! A heaven-defying pill that can summon the Reincarnation Thunder—even I am seeing it for the first time."

The God of Gamblers smiled and walked toward the square. The others perked up and hurriedly followed.

However, just at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

That heaven-defying pill flying high into the air finally aroused the greed of some people. This was a mysterious pill capable of summoning the Reincarnation Thunder; who wouldn't be tempted?

At this moment, the surroundings were empty, and the City-Protecting Great Array had been destroyed; there was no longer any obstruction to the retreat.

Therefore, some Gu Kings developed the idea of grabbing this heaven-defying pill and running.

Stealing a pill from a Spirit Sea Stage Gu cultivator—wasn't that easy?

Therefore, some greedy people could no longer control their greed and rushed up the moment the pill flew up.

When the pill flew to its highest point, a masked peak Gu King arrived first, grabbed the pill flying in the high air, and ran.

Long Xuan's main body had already strategically relocated, leaving only five clones. These five clones were taking turns watching the furnace. Even if they had played a war of attrition with the Heavenly Tribulation, they were all covered in scars and listless at this time.

Seeing a peak Gu King rush over, they were all startled. How could they care about the pill in the sky? They turned and ran, showing no attachment to the heaven-defying spirit pill in the air.

They had all inherited Long Xuan's cowardly personality; how could they risk their lives for a pill?

They didn't dare to intercept the Gu King. If the Bone-Mending Blood-Melting Pill was lost, so be it. Anyway, he still had the living wood; at worst, he could just refine another one.

At this moment, even if no Gu King was snatching it, Long Xuan didn't intend to keep this Bone-Mending Blood-Melting Pill. Such a heaven-defying pill was a hot potato in his hands and easily invited fatal disaster.

Therefore, seeing someone snatch his Bone-Mending Blood-Melting Pill, Long Xuan felt no pain at all. Anyway, he hadn't intended to keep this pill from the beginning.

Seeing the pill snatched away by a mysterious person, the judges who were walking slowly toward this side were all anxious.

"How bold!"

"Courting death!"

"Put it down!"

The judges were instantly enraged and rushed toward this side like madmen.

According to the rules, this pill was supposed to belong to the competition organizers. This was blatant robbery of their things; how could they not be anxious?

The first to arrive were the batch of bold Gu Kings who had been watching the Heavenly Tribulation from close range.

They were bold to begin with. At this moment, seeing that the city's defenses were empty, how could they not develop the idea of snatching it?

The Gu Kings who planned to snatch the heaven-defying pill and run were far more than just that mysterious peak Gu King. The moment the pill flew up, many greedy people rushed up immediately.

Therefore, before that mysterious Gu King could run far, he was intercepted by the Gu Kings arriving from behind.

Before the two Gu Kings could exchange many moves, the other Gu Kings also arrived one after another and joined the battle.

Seeing that things were not looking good, the mysterious Gu King threw out the Bone-Mending Blood-Melting Pill in his hand. From then on, the Bone-Mending Blood-Melting Pill began to change hands constantly. From time to time, a Gu King would be stabbed in the back by someone during the process of fighting for the Bone-Mending Blood-Melting Pill, dying tragically in a pool of blood.

A chaotic battle of Gu Kings broke out in the city center. The scene had already begun to spiral out of control and was no longer something the judges who had arrived could control.

Even Fen Tian Old Ancestor and Qi Tian Lao Zu developed covetousness for this Bone-Mending Blood-Melting Pill. Since the competition was over, they naturally had no scruples and joined the battle one after another, participating in the fight for the Bone-Mending Blood-Melting Pill.

With these two ancestors joining the battle, the scene became even more chaotic. Every time the two ancestors took action, a Gu King would inevitably fall into a pool of blood.

With the addition of the two ancestors, the number of Gu King deaths began to increase sharply. Soon, the ground was covered with corpses.

Not long after, the Gu Kings were scared out of their wits by the two old demons and no longer dared to fight them, running far away one after another, giving up the fight for the Bone-Mending Blood-Melting Pill.

At this time, only two people were left in the arena.

One was Fen Tian Old Ancestor, and the other was Qi Tian Lao Zu.

The two old demons stood on the corpses covering the ground, eyeing each other covetously, both revealing solemn expressions in their eyes.

The battle between these two old demons was imminent... (End of chapter)
