The sky, which was originally bright with purple moonlight and clear skies, suddenly became overcast again. In the blink of an eye, dark clouds rolled and lightning gathered above the Supreme Demon Ancestor's head. A lightning pillar as thick as several people could hug rolled and weaved through the pitch-black clouds. Just one glance was enough to tell that it contained terrifying power that could instantly blast most cultivators to smithereens!
The Supreme Demon Ancestor's face was ashen, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. His raised arm remained motionless for a long time!
The Grand Commander, seeing the strange phenomenon that suddenly appeared above his head, was filled with horror and extreme fear. However, after a moment's thought, a look of wild joy welled up within him. He greedily gazed at the Tongshi Pill that was so close at hand, his eyes gleaming, clearly plotting something...
Just moments ago, the air was filled with the fragrance of medicine, but in an instant, it turned into a raging storm with lightning. Li Sisui couldn't care less about that now. Seeing that the Demon Ancestor had stopped moving, he naturally didn't hesitate any longer. He once again summoned his transparent short sword and headed straight for the Tongshi Pill!
Whoosh!
"How dare you! You've gone too far!"
The Demon Ancestor's furious roar echoed from mid-air. A look of regret flashed across Li Sisui's face. The transparent short sword returned once again, but it failed to pierce the Tongshi Pill and bring it back!
"Hahaha! A thousand years of Demon Mountain is no match for this Qi-opening pill. From now on, I will have a place on Demon Mountain too, hahaha, gulp!"
The Grand Commander, his face contorted with madness, swallowed the newly completed Tongshi Pill in one gulp. Despite the Demon Ancestor's furious rage in mid-air, he remained unmoved. Clearly, even the Demon Ancestor of Demon Mountain was nothing compared to the allure of the Tongshi Pill…
Li Sisui never expected that after all his scheming, someone else would beat him to it. Feeling the weight in his arms growing heavier, his heart sank...
"I have treated you well, but before outsiders have even made a move, you have already jumped out. Do you really think I don't exist?"
"Hmph! Supreme Old Demon, you sacrificed so many of your companions' lives just to refine such a heaven-defying pill, and you still have the nerve to say you've treated me well? If it weren't for my rich experience and prior preparation, I might have become a sacrifice for the Tongshi Pill long ago, just like the others!"
The Supreme Demon Ancestor's face was ferocious, and his eyes were filled with endless rage. However, he did not make any further moves. After letting out a cold snort, he stopped talking and looked up at the black clouds that were constantly gathering like a vortex. A look of fear flashed in his eyes!
Seeing that the Supreme Demon Ancestor had fallen silent, the Grand Commander, with a smug look on his face, then gloated:
"Hahaha, Supreme Old Demon, I never thought you'd have this day. I'm only grateful that you broke the great formation, otherwise obtaining this Tongshi Pill wouldn't have been so easy. Besides, you can't even protect yourself now, so who can stop me?"
As he spoke, the Grand Commander let out a long roar, his entire body surging with chilling demonic energy, as if a demon god had descended. Li Sisui was also taken aback, but when his eyes met those of the Grand Commander, the latter's arrogance instantly subsided, and he said rather politely:
"You're a strange fellow, so it's better to avoid trouble. Now that I've already swallowed the Tongshi Pill, don't even think about it anymore. I won't do anything to you. The Supreme Demon Ancestor is currently locked down by the Divine Tribulation and can't spare any attention. My advice to you is that you can still escape now!"
"Divine Tribulation?"
Li Sisui looked puzzled. Wasn't it supposed to be a pill tribulation? Why was there a divine tribulation now? Seeing this, the Grand Commander actually showed a kind smile and explained quite enthusiastically:
"I really don't know how someone as dull-witted as you could have embarked on the path of cultivation, let alone managed to infiltrate Demon Mountain. It's utterly absurd. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that such a bizarre thing existed in the world. Simply put, the black clouds gathering above the Demon Ancestor's head are the tribulation he is about to face!"
The heavenly tribulation is only aimed at the Demon Ancestor. He's already locked onto him and can't spare the resources to kill you or deal with me, understand? However, given the Demon Ancestor's immense power, if he leaks even a little bit of information when facing the tribulation, he'll inevitably be caught in the crossfire. With your weak cultivation, you should escape as soon as possible! Hurry up and run!
After the Grand Commander patiently explained, he didn't forget to glance back at the Supreme Demon Ancestor and sneered:
"Supreme Old Demon, is there anything wrong with what I said?"
The Supreme Demon Ancestor's face was pitch black. If looks could kill, the Grand Commander would probably be dead tens of thousands of times over by now. Seeing the Demon Ancestor's fierce gaze but having nothing to say, the Grand Commander burst into a hearty laugh. The undisguised smugness he exuded was something he had suppressed for a long time...
Boom!
Lightning surged from the Supreme Demon Ancestor's head, and thunder roared incessantly. The thunder, which pierced through the thick clouds, caused everyone present to lose their footing and fall. Li Sisui even fell to the ground with a thud, but in the instant he fell, he instinctively lifted Leng Rushuang up...
Unexpectedly, the thunder alone possessed such power. The Grand Commander, floating in mid-air, lost much of his fanatical expression. The sudden thunder had sobered him up considerably, and his face was now filled with deep dread for the Demon Ancestor!
"Without further ado, Supreme Old Demon, take care of yourself. Farewell!"
The Grand Commander's body surged with demonic energy, and he made as if to leave, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the Supreme Demon Ancestor's hand gesture, and his body instantly froze, exclaiming in shock:
"Recite the mantra!"
"What the hell? Are you crazy?!"
Li Sisui looked impatient and couldn't help but complain, while the Grand Commander looked frightened and said in a solemn tone:
"I never expected the Demon Ancestor to unleash his ultimate power in front of everyone. It seems this sudden divine tribulation really caught him off guard, otherwise he wouldn't have acted so rashly. That's fine, it gives me plenty of time to escape, to get far away and fully refine and absorb this pill. Hmph, kid, farewell!"
In mid-air, one of the Demon Ancestor's hands seemed to have suddenly disappeared, changing into various strange postures in the void, pinching, pointing, squeezing, or grasping. What's even more bizarre is that these strange postures did not disappear immediately after they were finished, but instead hovered around the Demon Ancestor's arm, which was extremely mysterious!
The Grand Commander transformed into a streak of purple light and plunged into the distance. At this moment, at the site where the Tongshi Pill was being refined, besides the Grand Commander who had just fled, only Li Sisui and the Supreme Demon Ancestor in mid-air remained. The large group of burly men from before had all become sacrifices for the Tongshi Pill, just as the Grand Commander had said...
Ah! Bang!
The Grand Commander hadn't escaped far when a pink light surged from his abdomen, instantly reaching every part of his body. The Grand Commander only had time to cry out in alarm before he turned into a cloud of blood mist, blooming in mid-air. The viscous blood mist mixed with the eerie demonic energy, and was then completely absorbed by the pink light like a whale swallowing it up. The pink light gathered, once again revealing the true nature of the Tongshi Pill!
Li Sisui was shocked. Under his jaw-dropping gaze, Tongshi Dan spun around in mid-air and then obediently flew back to the Supreme Demon Ancestor. However, due to the presence of the tribulation clouds above, it could not get too close!
"Hmph! Such a heaven-defying divine pill is far beyond the reach of someone as dull and base as you! You're overestimating yourself!"
