The purplish-red leaden clouds overhead seemed to be stirred by an invisible hand. After a short while, countless red dots suddenly appeared, flashing with an eerie red light. Upon seeing this, the black-robed Demon Ancestor's face flashed with excitement. He flipped his hand, and a layer of beige halo appeared above Tongshi Dan's head, as if he were inside a beige balloon.
Seeing countless red lights flashing above his head, the Grand Commander's eyes widened in fear, and he roared at the top of his lungs:
"Be careful! This is a chaotic lightning punishment!"
Upon hearing the chaotic thunder and divine punishment, the group of burly men all showed expressions of terror, as if a terrifying memory had been instantly evoked within them. They adopted a posture of being on high alert, and some even turned ashen-faced, beginning to bid farewell to their companions nearby!
Li Sisui looked up to the sky and sighed, then roared at the top of his lungs:
"Is anyone there? Help!"
Just as he shouted, a bolt of red lightning struck down from above, like a torrential downpour, as if it were the end of the world. It was the first time Li Sisui had ever seen red lightning. It was eerie and carried a dangerous aura. In his intuition, this thing was not to be trifled with!
The protective array formed by the Grand Commander and his entourage couldn't even last a single exchange before being shattered by the red lightning with overwhelming force. The people in the array immediately cried out in agony, and several of them didn't even have time to resist before being struck by the red lightning and turning into wisps of green smoke and disappearing!
Boom! Sizzle!
Of course, there were also experienced individuals who, under the Grand Commander's reminder, had prepared defensive measures in advance, summoning various magical artifacts to barely withstand the bombardment of the red lightning. One, two, three... it seemed endless. The shield-shaped magical artifact above the Grand Commander's head soon began to show cracks. If it continued to bombard like this, most of them would probably be in grave danger!
In contrast, the black-robed Demon Ancestor in mid-air remained calm and composed even under the barrage of lightning. The black robe covering his body was some kind of rare magical artifact. Every red lightning bolt that struck his head was cleverly deflected to the side by the black robe, like a mudfish moving against the chaotic lightning. Not a single red lightning bolt could hit the Demon Ancestor!
The beige balloon that the Demon Ancestor had previously summoned was also surprisingly sturdy. Despite being bombarded by the red lightning and leaving countless dents, it soon returned to its original shape, full of elasticity, and showed no signs of breaking. It dutifully protected the tender Tongshi Pill, which was truly amazing!
Bang!
The shield-shaped magical artifact above the Grand Commander's head could no longer hold on and shattered with a crash. Before the fragments could even hit the ground, they turned into countless wisps of green smoke and dissipated. However, the Grand Commander was clearly a veteran of many battles and had been prepared. The moment the shield-shaped magical artifact shattered, his robes moved without wind and instantly expanded several times in size, completely enveloping the Grand Commander's body!
The red lightning showed no sign of stopping, continuing its relentless bombardment of the Grand Commander's robe-adorned magical artifact. At this moment, only a few scattered individuals remained, struggling to hold on. The once horde of burly men had long since vanished into thin air...
The president glanced around briefly, nodded to himself, and thought to himself:
"As expected of a pill personally refined by the Demon Ancestor, it's no surprise that it triggered a pill tribulation. Even this chaotic lightning heavenly punishment was anticipated. I wonder what kind of heaven-defying effects this pill would possess if it were successfully refined. I also wonder whether the Demon Ancestor would consume it himself or bestow it upon someone else..."
The so-called Chaotic Thunder Heavenly Punishment can be simply understood as an upgraded version of the Pill Tribulation. A pill that can trigger Chaotic Thunder Heavenly Punishment must have such extraordinary effects that it causes a sudden change in the power of heaven and earth when it is born, so the heaven and earth will not hesitate to bombard it indiscriminately and try their best to nip this extraordinary pill in the bud!
The strangest thing about the Chaotic Thunder Heavenly Punishment is that all the lightning does not strike the ground out of thin air, but falls on the heads of living beings. If the area covered by the Heavenly Punishment is only one person, then sorry, all the chaotic lightning will lock onto that person as if they were a homing missile and pour down!
It is precisely because of this characteristic of the Chaotic Thunder Heavenly Punishment that we have the current countermeasures. When the Heavenly Punishment descends, as many people as possible must be within the range of the Chaotic Thunder's attack to disperse the firepower. As for the so-called Great Array for Protecting the Core, it is merely a formality...
"One pill is refined, but ten thousand bones wither"—this perfectly describes the current situation.
The Grand Commander looked around and, as he expected, apart from a few people who knew the inside story, most of the people who had formed the formation had turned into smoke and disappeared. However, when he inadvertently glanced at Li Si, he was completely stunned!
That expression was even more exaggerated than if the Demon Ancestor had run naked in front of him...
"Is this... even human?"
Following the commander's gaze, one could see Li Sisui standing there with a woman in his arms, looking around blankly.
That's right, the president confirmed that he wasn't mistaken; he was completely bewildered!
This... Others turned pale just hearing about the chaotic thunder and divine punishment. Even he, who had experienced it several times, was still trembling and hoping that the endless red lightning rain would end as soon as possible. But this person looked bewildered!
Baffled, can you believe it?
If the red lightning were conscious, it would probably be slowly typing out a question mark right now: ?
What, it's my fault that I didn't chop you up?
"If this person's cultivation level is not comparable to that of the Demon Ancestor, then he is definitely not human. No, not only is he not human, but he is not some kind of living being either. Otherwise, how could such an inconceivable situation occur? There is absolutely no logic to it. What exactly is this person?"
The president gasped several times, the fear deep in his eyes finally becoming undisguised.
Of course, it wasn't just the Grand Commander who noticed Li Sisui. The black-robed Demon Ancestor in mid-air also noticed something unusual the moment the chaotic thunder and heavenly punishment descended. Upon closer inspection, he discovered Li Sisui's incredible abilities!
With a single glance, he understood everything about Li Sisui. The cultivator from the foot of the mountain was only at the third level of the Divine Illumination Realm. He had originally thought that heart-wrenching cry of "Help!" was his last lament before being struck by the chaotic lightning. Now it seemed that it had something else in mind, as the chaotic red lightning had no effect on this person at all!
Even the Demon Ancestor, with his vast knowledge and experience, couldn't help but feel a little curious. However, he was currently at a crucial moment in alchemy and couldn't afford to be distracted. The fact that it triggered the Chaotic Thunder Heavenly Punishment was within his expectations, but the red chaotic thunder was more unexpected than he anticipated. Of course, he was also pleasantly surprised!
After all, red is the most suitable color for demon cultivators. Even the Demon Ancestor, who has refined countless pills, has a faint expectation for the pill that has been fortunate enough to undergo the baptism of red lightning. He wonders what kind of heaven-defying existence will be born in Demon Mountain after this pill is refined. Could it be someone who can lead Demon Mountain to create a new situation?
As the barrage of thunder above gradually subsided, the Grand Commander breathed a sigh of relief. However, upon catching a glimpse of Li Si, who was unharmed in the distance, the Grand Commander instinctively shrank back, repeatedly telling himself:
"We should stay as far away from this thing as possible!"
