Chapter 384: Heavenly Tribulation!!? (Second Update)

Since He Shou intended to treat Ren Yidao like a live fish waiting to be slaughtered on a chopping block, he shouldn't blame him for being impolite.

Fish, too, can strike back.

What's more, he was not a fish, but a treacherous and cunning Fox Demon.

Want to kill me?

Fine, but be careful, I will shatter your blade!

The piece of flesh and blood Ren Yidao had just bitten off was nothing else but the container sealing the Demon God Remnant Soul.

Therefore, what he added into the pill furnace was not just his own essence blood, but also an ancient remnant soul.

You don't want to refine it?

Fine.

I'll let you refine to your heart's content!

Although Ren Yidao had always held doubts about the authenticity of this Demon God Remnant Soul, seeing the astonishing effect at this moment, he figured that even if its identity wasn't the true Demon God, it was likely close enough.

Ren Yidao was happy on his end, but for some, it was not so joyful.

Especially for a certain Demon God Remnant Soul that had been imprisoned for a long time, it was an unprovoked disaster.

Boom!

【"Hmm!!?"】

At the very beginning, the Demon God Remnant Soul was still a bit dazed.

What happened?

How did I suddenly feel Spirit Qi?

【"Could it be that the brat died accidentally, and I am now free?"】

The Demon God Remnant Soul felt a tremor in its heart, feeling both surprise and regret surging up at once.

The surprise was that it had finally regained its freedom, while the regret was that the Demon Race had lost a good seedling with exceptional talent.

Although the two stood on different sides, it had never denied Ren Yidao's excellence and never stinted on its appreciation.

The two were not contradictory, because if there were a chance, it would seize Ren Yidao's body without hesitation.

But now, it was afraid there was no chance left.

Wait!!?

Something seems wrong somewhere...

Just as the Demon God felt regret, it suddenly perceived a great crisis... coming from above!

It looked up, and then the entire remnant soul shook violently.

【"Heavenly Tribulation!!?"】

What the hell!!!

Not good!

This Demon God only took a nap, how did the outside world become like this?

At this critical juncture, the Demon God Remnant Soul displayed its seasoned experience; though panicked, it did not lose its composure, and its divine sense quickly swept across the surroundings.

Even Ren Yidao had not discovered that although it was sealed, it had relied on secret methods to accumulate quite a bit of power in the dark, actually reaching the level of Half-step Transformation into Divinity!

If it could, the Demon God would not want to expose this at all, but at this moment, it could no longer care about so much and had to painfully use up all the power it had worked so hard to save.

It was a remnant yin soul that could not see the light of day, and what it feared most was the most rigid and yang Heavenly Thunder!

If it could not find a way to survive, today would be its death day!

This was a great threat that could truly endanger its existence!!!

The divine sense swept past quickly; because the material of the pill furnace was special, its power was insufficient to probe outside the furnace.

【"This is... a semi-finished Mending Heaven Pill?"】

The Demon God immediately became furious, cursing in its heart:

【"Rebellion!!! Who dares to use this Demon God as a material for pill refining!!?"】

Although it was extremely angry, the Demon God still breathed a sigh of relief because it had found a glimmer of hope.

It was a yin soul, lacking the protection of a physical body, so it was extremely fragile in the face of Heavenly Thunder.

But if it had a physical body, the situation would be completely different.

There was no time to find a physical body now, but as long as it had these materials, it could create a temporary physical body!

【"Possessing the Five Elements, and his essence blood, there is even a trace of Phoenix bloodline in this medicinal liquid? Perfect!"】

【"Merge!"】

Under its precise control, the medicinal dregs that had already begun to scatter suddenly gathered together and rapidly fused into one.

In just a few breaths, the shape of the medicinal liquid actually turned into a crystal-clear demon fox the size of a ping-pong ball, with six tails fluttering behind it!

The Demon God Remnant Soul quickly dived into it and let out a faint hiss at the Heavenly Thunder.

【"Get lost!!!"】

"Cough! Cough, cough... Hmm!!?"

Pill refining required a great deal of mental energy, and suffering a backlash from an unexpected accident, He Shou was somewhat wilted.

He had thought this furnace of pills was completely ruined and was feeling heartbroken beyond measure, but he did not expect that Heaven would not cut off all paths, and the situation had actually reversed!

Seeing this situation, He Shou's eyes lit up suddenly, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "The divine pill has spirit and is resisting the tribulation on its own!"

"In other words, it is actually because the quality of this furnace of Mending Heaven Pill is too high that it invited the punishment of Heaven and Earth?"

"Good, good, good!"

He did not discover the Demon God Remnant Soul and thought the pill had given birth to intelligence on its own, so he logically filled in the "truth" he considered reasonable.

It wasn't that there was any problem with Ren Yidao's flesh and blood, but that he had hit the jackpot this time and encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"There is still a chance!"

Having thought this through, He Shou braced his injured body and forcibly gathered his spirit to help the medicinal pill resist the continuous Heaven Thunder.

"As long as it can withstand this Pill Tribulation thunder, the quality of this pill can rise to another level! Perhaps, it can truly reach the Nine Revolutions stage!"

With He Shou's assistance, the pressure on the Demon God Remnant Soul plummeted, and it relied on the temporarily constructed flesh to withstand the strikes of the Heaven Thunder time and time again.

Sss, sss, sss!

As the Thunder Tribulation descended, the appearance of the medicinal pill demon fox became increasingly miserable; from the size of a fist at the start, it gradually shrank to the size of a ping-pong ball, and finally, after the Heaven Thunder vanished, only the size of a thumb remained.

【"... Haha, hahaha!"】

But the Demon God Remnant Soul laughed, because this was not merely destruction; it was indeed a form of tempering.

Although it was truly miserable now, with more than half of its already scarce Divine Soul missing, it had stubbornly survived this calamity.

It had finally shaken off that damned brat.

It was free!!!

【"This Demon God can finally..."】

And just at the moment it was feeling emotional, a white shadow quietly emerged behind it.

【"What!!?"】

The moment it saw clearly what that white shadow was, the Demon God Remnant Soul suffered a Broken Defense, and it began to curse loudly:

【"Damn it!!!"】

【"How are you not dead!!?"】

"Awoo!"

Having waited for a long time, Ren Yidao transformed into his true form, turned into a white light the instant the pill was formed, rushed into the pill furnace, and swallowed the "Demon Fox Mending Heaven Pill" in one gulp, swallowing it directly into his stomach without even chewing.

*Hiccup. *

Although Ren Yidao's movements were fast, they did not escape He Shou's notice, but he did not move to intercept, instead seizing every moment to regulate his breath.

To He Shou, on one hand, that body would be his in the future anyway, so it made no difference whether the pill was eaten sooner or later.

Even now, he still did not believe he would flip the cart.

Before was just a small, minor accident; it didn't count as any big problem.

And the reason he did not stop Ren Yidao from swallowing it was even more because...

"Your Highness, why be in such a hurry?"

He Shou forcibly suppressed his injuries, opened his eyes, and said to Ren Yidao, who was motionless after swallowing the pill, his words filled with smugness: "The Mending Heaven Pill doesn't just need to be swallowed; it must be paired with the corresponding technique to be refined."

This was He Shou's true certainty.

He was not afraid of Ren Yidao snatching it at all; without the technique, even if he ate the Mending Heaven Pill, he would be unable to unleash its true effect at all.

From the very beginning, Ren Yidao had no chance of turning the tables!

"Hehe."

He Shou wanted to see despair on Ren Yidao's face, but this time, he was disappointed.

When the white fox transformed back into a human, what hung on Ren Yidao's face was not despair, but a strange, smiling face.

"... Your Highness?"

Just at the moment He Shou felt something was wrong, a wicked little hand was secretly reaching toward his kidney.

"Hm!!?"

At the final moment, He Shou turned his head abruptly and actually saw another Ren Yidao!

That youth-looking Ren Yidao was sneaking around holding a short sword, and upon being discovered, he flashed a shy smile at He Shou.

"Ehehe!"

He Shou was furious; he backhanded the youth Ren Yidao, shattering him with a single palm strike, and glared at Ren Yidao's true body.

"Hmph, petty tricks!"

"You! Give me... Uh!!?"

*Sss. *

He felt a pain in his waist, only to see that the short sword had been stabbed into his waist at some point!

Then, before he could reach out to pull it out...

Endless memories surged into his Heart Star.

"Uh! Ahhhhhhh!!!"
