Chapter 359 - 358: I Believe You
Half a month later, within a remote mountain range, a Pill Fragrance permeated the air for a hundred miles. Countless Fierce Beasts and birds grew restless, and amidst their roars and cries, faint sounds of excitement could be heard. A ten-thousand-zhang Pill Cloud gathered, only to rapidly shrink moments later!
Just as the Pill Cloud shrank, a majestic aura that ruled over all living things suddenly descended, making it impossible to muster even the slightest will to resist from the depths of one’s soul. The countless surrounding Fierce Beasts panicked and fled, not daring to linger for even a moment. Even Qin Ya, who had refined Spirit Pills many times in both his past and present lives, couldn’t help but marvel at this will!
’Just what kind of existence could possess such a will...’
’It truly is... Heaven, or perhaps... the World!’
It was as if a hundred thousand heavenly thunders boomed in Qin Ya’s mind, and a wave of dizziness washed over him. He immediately suppressed his churning thoughts. ’I’m not yet qualified to delve into such things!’
He formed a spell with his hand, circulated his surging True Essence, and lifted the lid of the Primordial Heaven Furnace. Instantly, the Pill Qi converged, and a golden Spirit Pill shot high into the sky. The golden pill trembled continuously, radiating a brilliant light and emitting a sense of excitement!
Meanwhile, in the sky, the Pill Cloud shrank into a thousand-zhang dark cloud from which muffled thunder rumbled and jagged flashes appeared. A terrifying might swept across heaven and earth. Even Martial Artists over a thousand miles away felt this immense terror, their bodies trembling and their minds wavering!
"What is that? How can it have such terrifying power!"
"Heavenly thunder is gathering and the beasts are restless. Could a great treasure be appearing?"
"They say that whenever a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object emerges, it’s always accompanied by a worldly phenomenon. This has to be it. I must get there before anyone else."
"A great treasure has emerged, and it belongs to the strong! I’m off!"
"Hmph. A bunch of ants, and you dare compete with me!"
Instantly, Martial Artists from all directions were alerted and rushed toward the place where the Spirit Pill had emerged.
Back in the mountain range, Qin Ya gazed at the Spirit Pill high in the sky, a solemn look flashing in his eyes. Then, a twisting bolt of thunder descended with immense power!
The thunder tore through the void and blasted toward the Spirit Pill!
Instead of retreating, the Spirit Pill advanced and was struck head-on. The pill’s body trembled slightly as wisps of black smoke diffused from it, and its volume shrank a little. But Qin Ya could feel that, far from diminishing, the pill’s medicinal efficacy had become even purer.
’Using the Power of Heaven and Earth to temper the Spirit Pill!’
The thunderbolts came one after another. A Spirit Pill refined by an ordinary Pill King would have long since been unable to withstand such a Thunder Tribulation and been blasted to smithereens!
But Qin Ya was vastly experienced, and the quality of the Spirit Pill he refined was the best in all of history. He had no fear of this Thunder Tribulation. After forty-nine bolts of thunder, the Spirit Pill was complete!
The moment the Spirit Pill was successfully refined, it transformed into a streak of Flowing Light and shot into the distance. It had actually developed a trace of Spirituality. But the corners of Qin Ya’s lips curved up; he was long accustomed to such things. His figure flashed, and in the next instant, he appeared in front of the Elixir. Gathering Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi into his hand, he snatched at the void.
Gazing at the constantly trembling Spirit Pill in his hand, Qin Ya placed it into his Storage Ring. The dark clouds in the sky slowly dissipated. Just as he was about to leave, dozens of streaks of Flowing Light arrived. They glanced around before their gazes fell upon Qin Ya. He felt dozens of Divine Thoughts sweep over him.
Qin Ya’s brows furrowed slightly, his gaze turning cold as he looked at the crowd before him.
"Kid, do you know what happened here?"
A large man stepped forward and spoke in an imperious, bossy tone.
"I don’t," Qin Ya replied, his tone cold.
Just then, another person looked at Qin Ya and said with a cold smile, "To become an Extraordinary at such a young age, your talent is impressive. But I’d advise you to obediently hand over the great treasure that just appeared. Otherwise, you might not live to see another day."
Meanwhile, in the crowd, a few people exchanged glances and backed away.
Seeing this, a person nearby grew curious and asked one of the retreating Martial Artists, "Brother Bai, what’s wrong? Why are you all falling back?"
He didn’t know if it was his imagination, but the Martial Artist sensed an aura of fear coming from Brother Bai. This shocked him immensely. After all, Brother Bai’s cultivation was at the Celestial Human Realm; anything that could frighten him had to be truly remarkable!
Upon hearing this, Brother Bai exchanged a look with the few Martial Artists beside him, and they all saw the terror in each other’s eyes. He then forced a bitter smile. "Brother Sunx, I’d advise you not to get involved. With just you lot, you aren’t even enough for him to pick his teeth with."
Hearing this did not clear up Brother Sunx’s confusion; instead, he only grew more perplexed.
’What does he mean, we’re not even enough for him to pick his teeth with? He’s just a teenager at the Sky-Controlling Realm, isn’t he? His talent may be shocking, but with so many Extraordinary Martial Artists here, how could we possibly fail to deal with one little Sky-Controlling Martial Artist?’
Seeing Brother Sunx’s doubt, Brother Bai explained, "Don’t be fooled by his youth; his methods are terrifying. Half a month ago, he turned the entire Yun Province upside down. I once saw from a distance as he fought against over a hundred Extraordinary Martial Artists."
"With just one man and one spear, he was completely unstoppable."
"Is he really that powerful?" Brother Sunx was clearly still skeptical.
’You’ve got to be kidding. Reaching the Extraordinary Realm at such a young age is already an incredibly rare feat. If he also has that kind of combat power, wouldn’t that be completely Heaven-Defying!’
Brother Bai gave a bitter laugh. He knew his words sounded unbelievable; even he had trouble believing what he’d seen with his own eyes, let alone anyone else. "I’ve said my piece, Brother Sunx. What you do now is up to you."
Hearing this, Brother Sunx fell silent for a moment and decided to wait and see how things would unfold.
By now, everyone except for Brother Bai, Brother Sunx, and their small group was growing restless. Their gazes on Qin Ya were filled with ill intent, making Brother Bai’s scalp tingle and a chill run down his spine. ’These guys are really courting death!’
Brother Bai exchanged a look with the others in his group, and they all retreated another hundred zhang.
Seeing this, Brother Sunx curled his lip. ’Are they being that dramatic?’
"Kid, time to die!"
Just then, the large man who had spoken first gave a savage grin as his True Essence erupted!
WHOOSH! With the sound of tearing air, the large man’s figure shot out like a cannonball, instantly rushing toward Qin Ya. His fists thrust forward, creating a flurry of shadows that rained down like massive meteorites from the sky. The might was unparalleled; an ordinary Celestial Human would be completely unable to resist!
Clearly, the large man had noticed that Qin Ya was no ordinary opponent, so he unleashed his ultimate killing technique right from the start, holding nothing back. But he still grossly underestimated Qin Ya!
Endless Thunder erupted, sweeping outward and making the void crackle. Before the large man’s meteorite-like fists could even land, a purple gleam of lightning flashed. Faster than a thunderclap, it instantly enveloped his body, invading his insides and wreaking havoc, leaving his physical body utterly ruined!
The large man let out a wretched howl as he fell to the ground, instantly turning into a charred corpse.
But the endless Thunder was not finished. As terrifying as an unsated Fierce Beast, after devouring one victim, it sought its next. It instantly shifted its target to the onlooking Martial Artists, sweeping out to surge toward them as a Thunder Sea!
"Fuck!"
"What terrifying Thunder!"
"Everyone, run!"
"He killed a Celestial Human in a single blow! We can’t fight him head-on!"
As for Brother Sunx, he had been completely stunned by the scene. He let out a strange cry and dashed a hundred zhang away to join Brother Bai and the others. His voice trembling, he said, "Brother Bai, I believe you now."
