After nine consecutive red lightning bolts struck, the once delicate Tongshi Pill's outer skin was cracked and cracked, releasing a strange fragrance that made people swallow hard. Even the Demon Ancestor couldn't help but feel excited. Having experienced such a bizarre and special tribulation, he wondered what kind of heaven-defying effects this Tongshi Pill could have.
As the refiner of the Tongshi Pill, he naturally has a connection with pills in the dark. When a pill undergoes a pill tribulation and reaches its peak, it will display various effects of the pill in the refiner's mind, including some rare hidden effects. This is what the Demon Ancestor is most looking forward to, especially this extremely unusual pill tribulation, which adds even more anticipation!

The cracked outer layer of the Tongshi Dan began to peel off automatically, revealing a bright red pill. As the outer layer fragments fell off, a strange aroma mixed with a hint of spiciness gradually spread. Those who smelled it were initially delighted, but then their noses were choked by the spiciness, and their eyes welled up with tears. Even Li Sisui was no exception...
Then the thick tribulation clouds overhead began to dissipate, indicating that the tribulation of the Tongshi Pill was completely over. The Demon Ancestor's eyes were momentarily glazed over as he stood frozen in mid-air, before a surge of wild joy welled up within him, and he couldn't help but exclaim:
"This pill is indeed heaven-defying, far more powerful than the recorded effects. For demonic cultivators, it can not only break through cultivation barriers, but also condense the most suitable demonic root according to the characteristics of the user. From then on, as long as they are nourished by demonic energy, it is not impossible for their cultivation to rival mine in time. It is truly a great fortune for Demon Mountain!"
The Demon Ancestor, shrouded in black robes, uttered such a profound sigh, revealing the extent of his shock. However, Li Sisui was not a demonic cultivator and naturally could not truly understand. But the Grand Commander beside him, after hearing the Demon Ancestor's sigh, was completely dumbfounded, his lips trembling, his face filled with disbelief. He had completely lost the composure of a superior and muttered to himself:
"A demonic root? To actually condense a demonic root comparable to the Demon Ancestor? That's too exaggerated! In the history of Demon Mountain, this is probably unprecedented..."
The Grand Commander muttered to himself in a daze, then looked up at the blood-red pill floating in mid-air, his eyes filled with undisguised greed. If this pill hadn't been in the hands of the Demon Ancestor, he probably would have snatched it immediately. After all, for demon cultivators, having a demonic root was already a rare feat, let alone one that could rival the Demon Ancestor's. It was like becoming rich overnight. If you swallowed this pill, you would be on par with the world's richest man. Who wouldn't be tempted?
Whoosh!
While everyone was stunned and frantic, a transparent short sword silently approached the blood-red pill. Li Sisui, with tears streaming down his face, endured the discomfort caused by the spicy and stimulating taste, staring intently at the transparent short sword. He wanted to snatch the Tongshi Pill and give it to Leng Rushuang!
The Demon Ancestor went on and on about all those miraculous effects, saving someone shouldn't be a problem, right?
Li Sisui's attempts to unleash the Slow Sword Domain all ended in failure. He thought he was finished, as his only weapon had failed. Without thinking, he tried to see if the transparent short sword was still there. To his surprise, he discovered that the transparent short sword could be used at will without any restrictions!
Overjoyed, Li Sisui began to look for a suitable opportunity. He was initially disappointed when he saw the Demon Ancestor set up the great formation, but to his surprise, the Demon Ancestor dismantled the formation himself not long after. It was truly a stroke of luck. Seeing the Tongshi Pill complete, the Demon Ancestor marveled. The people of Demon Mountain who had survived by chance were all stunned and speechless. Could there be a more perfect opportunity than this?
Obviously not!
Therefore, Li Sisui made a decisive move. Although the Demon Ancestor in front of him was unfathomable, he didn't care about that. With the protagonist's halo, there was nothing he couldn't do. So what if he was the Demon Ancestor?
"How dare you!"
A loud shout came from mid-air. As if it had a spirit, Tongshi Dan suddenly began to fall. The Demon Ancestor held a transparent short sword in one hand and pointed it directly at Li Sisui with the other. Boundless pressure poured down like a surging river. Li Sisui was holding Leng Rushuang, whose life and death were unknown. He had no power to fight back at all and was directly pressed to his knees on the ground, unable to move!
"Where did this scoundrel come from, daring to rob me in front of me? You overestimate yourself. I must say your courage is commendable, but courage alone cannot save your life. Die!"
Before he could finish speaking, the Demon Ancestor snorted coldly and made a move to crush the transparent short sword. But a strange thing happened. No matter how much demonic energy surged in the Demon Ancestor's palm, the transparent short sword did not budge. After trying several times, the Demon Ancestor could not help but examine it carefully. But as soon as he let go, the transparent short sword disappeared. When he searched for it carefully, he found that it had returned to Li Sisui's brow at some point!
"I underestimated you. You do have some skills, but if you don't have any other abilities, I'll personally send you on your way!"
After the transparent short sword pierced Li Sisui's brow, the oppressive aura emanating from him diminished significantly. Li Sisui tilted his head back and grinned maliciously:
"You're bragging. You think you can kill me?"
"Um?"
The Demon Ancestor raised an eyebrow, looking at Li Sisui with interest, and said disdainfully:
"Ignorance is bliss. You are merely a third-level Divine Illumination cultivator. How could you possibly know the power of my all-encompassing might? Fine, I'll let you die knowing why. Judging by your cultivation level, you probably haven't even climbed the Sage's Hill."
This place is called Demon Mountain, and I am the Demon Ancestor standing atop Demon Mountain. Others call me the Supreme Demon Ancestor. If you hadn't experienced some special event, you probably would never have been able to touch this place in your lifetime. Those who wish to ascend Demon Mountain must at least be cultivators from the Asura Ridge..."
"Shura Ridge? Where is it?"
"Hmph! You can't talk about ice with a summer insect. Above Mount Fugu is Mount Shura. Although I have unlimited time, I don't want to waste it on ignorant villains. You can go in peace. To die by my hand will be the most glorious moment of your life. Remember it!"
"Hahaha! Supreme Old Demon, dare to make a bet?"
Li Sisui's face was contorted with rage, yet a chill ran through him. He hadn't expected that the Demon Ancestor before him was the true big shot of this cultivation world. He had heard of Mount Fugu, but he had never heard of Shura Ridge. He never imagined that this place was something even Shura Ridge had to look up to. And this person before him was a figure standing atop the Demon Mountain. If the protagonist's halo failed this time, he would truly be doomed, just as doomed as Leng Rushuang, or even worse...
"A bet? No interest. What a waste of another second..."
The Grand Commander looked at Li Sisui, who was standing to the side with a crazed expression, with an indifferent expression, as if he were looking at a dead man. How dare he snatch the Demon Ancestor's pill? His audacity is truly beyond the heavens. If he wants to die, he doesn't have to be in such a hurry. It would be much better if he were just struck dead by the Chaotic Thunder Heavenly Punishment. Clean and neat!
Once the Demon Ancestor makes a move, that person has no chance of reincarnation. It can be said to be true death, completely disappearing from this world, leaving no trace in the past, present, or future...
"Go to hell! Huh?"
The Demon Ancestor raised his arm but did not lower it for a long time; his originally indifferent face was filled with disbelief!
