BTTH: I Am the Ancestor of the Xiao Clan Chapter 427 427: The Breakthrough Pill is Complete, Thunder

In Executioner City of the Northern Continent, Xiao Tiance and Ling'er were engaged in a pivotal discussion.

After Xiao Tiance asked, "Ling'er, from what you said, it seems you have a thod to deal with the extraterritorial demons?"

Ling'er nodded lightly and replied softly, "Indeed, I do. However, this thod is one I hope we won't have to use unless there is absolutely no other option."

Hearing this, Xiao Tiance didn't press further. Instead, he nodded. **"Understood. Let's hope that mont never cos.

For now, I need to focus on refining so Breakthrough Pills. The process will cause quite a commotion. Ling'er, I'll need you to set up a spiritual formation when the pills are about to form, to isolate the area and prevent the pill tribulation from harming anyone in Executioner City."**

"Leave it to , Young Master." Ling'er agreed and quickly re entered Xiao Tiance's body.

Preparing for Refinent

As Ling'er retreated, Xiao Tiance activated his soul energy. A magnificent cauldron erged from his storage ring, descending gracefully before him.

"Boom!"

The cauldron landed with a resonant thud, and Xiao Tiance looked at it with satisfaction. "As expected of the Fla Emperor Cauldron, ranked first on the Heavenly Cauldron List of the Dou Qi Continent. Its materials and craftsmanship far surpass the other cauldrons on the list."

The Heavenly Cauldron List was a ranking of the finest alchemical furnaces in the Dou Qi Continent, featuring only the most extraordinary cauldrons. Of the thirteen cauldrons on the list, each possessed unique qualities that captivated alchemists across the continent.

However, the Fla Emperor Cauldron stood in a league of its own, vastly superior to the others on the list. It was said that the disparity between the Fla Emperor Cauldron and its counterparts was as great as the heavens and the earth.

The cauldron's reputation wasn't re legend. It was forged in ancient tis by a Dou Emperor renowned for his skill in artifact crafting. The Fla Emperor Cauldron was the culmination of his life's work, refined to perfection by an unimaginable calamity of lightning that the Dou Emperor himself couldn't withstand.

The Legendary Fla Emperor Cauldron

The cauldron glead a resplendent golden hue, and its surface was adorned with intricate carvings resembling a grand map of mountains and rivers. Its presence exuded an aura of reverence and power that inspired awe.

Xiao Tiance had acquired this cauldron thanks to Ling'er, who had guided him after her awakening. With her insights as the Dou Qi Continent's Plane Embryo, she directed Xiao Tiance to retrieve this treasure upon his ascension to Dou Emperor.

Since arriving in the Great Thousand World, Xiao Tiance had seldom used the Fla Emperor Cauldron, as his refined techniques and soul strength allowed him to concoct most pills without it. However, the Breakthrough Pills he was about to craft were no ordinary pills they were ant to aid even Heavenly Sovereign experts in advancing their cultivation.

He sat cross legged, levitating a ter above the ground, and entered a state of deep ditation. Slowly, his energy stabilized, and his mind reached its sharpest focus.

Gathering the Ingredients

Before him, the Fla Emperor Cauldron stood tall, radiating an aura of antiquity and grandeur.

Xiao Tiance's eyes snapped open after so ti, gleaming with determination. He landed softly on the ground and activated his soul energy once more.

From his storage ring and the Heavenly Dao Tower, a vast collection of high grade spiritual herbs and heavenly treasures erged nearly 2,000 different ingredients in total. Controlled by his soul energy, the herbs floated in the air, orbiting Xiao Tiance and the cauldron in a srizing pattern.

"Swoosh!"

As everything was ticulously prepared, a golden fla Golden Emperor Burning Sky Fla erupted in Xiao Tiance's palm. With a casual flick, the fla leaped beneath the Fla Emperor Cauldron, transforming into a roaring inferno that engulfed the base.

Once the cauldron was sufficiently heated, Xiao Tiance removed its lid with precision, revealing its gleaming interior. One by one, the carefully selected ingredients began to enter the cauldron in a precise sequence, their spiritual energies blending harmoniously under Xiao Tiance's expert control.

The Refinent Process

Each step of the process was perford with unmatched precision, as Xiao Tiance utilized his vast experience as an alchemical grandmaster. The Fla Emperor Cauldron humd softly as the ingredients within it began to rge, their energies condensing into a singular entity.

Golden flas surged and danced beneath the cauldron, nurturing the embryonic form of the Breakthrough Pills. Xiao Tiance's soul energy weaved seamlessly through the process, ensuring that every step proceeded flawlessly.

As the cauldron's contents began to stabilize, the surrounding air grew tense, and faint arcs of lightning flickered ominously in the sky above.

"The pill tribulation is beginning to form," Xiao Tiance muttered. His expression remained calm, but his soul energy surged in preparation.

"Ling'er, it's almost ti. Activate the isolation formation and ensure the tribulation doesn't harm the city," he instructed.

Ling'er's voice echoed from within, "Understood, Young Master."

The next monts would determine the success of Xiao Tiance's endeavor to create one of the most extraordinary pills in the Great Thousand World.

Refining, purifying, extracting, and preserving the essence each step of Xiao Tiance's alchemy process was srizing. After half a month of ticulous work, as the most challenging ingredients were finally handled, Xiao Tiance's eyes flashed with determination.

"Fuse for !"

His deep voice resonated as a surge of powerful soul energy flooded the Fla Emperor Cauldron, forcing the various dicinal liquids within to begin rging.

The First Signs of Tribulation

"Boom!"

The sky darkened as rolling thunder echoed across the heavens. Black clouds rapidly gathered above the city. Xiao Tiance glanced up but remained unfazed. Instead, he contacted Ling'er with a ntal command.

"Ling'er, activate a spiritual formation. Enclose the area large enough to contain the entire storm cloud."

"Understood, Young Master."

Ling'er replied and imdiately began channeling energy from the spirit energy token on Xiao Tiance's waist. Her hands danced in complex seals, and intricate, glowing spiritual marks rapidly ford in the air.

In re monts, tens of thousands of spiritual sigils surrounded Xiao Tiance, forming a protective do.

As a grandmaster in spirit arrays, Ling'er could craft formations with a single thought. Though constrained by her lack of independent energy, her speed was still astonishing. Within a single breath, a massive spiritual array surged skyward, enveloping the storm clouds above.

Fusion and Tribulation Lightning

Despite the ominous flashes of lightning above, no strikes fell just yet. The tribulation waited for the pills to fully form.

Inside the cauldron, Xiao Tiance exerted even greater control over the dicinal liquids, rging them completely under his refined soul energy. Gradually, the liquid began to separate into ten distinct portions, each of which began to solidify under the scorching flas of the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Fla.

"Crack!"

At the exact mont the pills ford, the lid of the Fla Emperor Cauldron burst open. Xiao Tiance waved his hand, and ten shimring pills shot into the air, rising high into the sky.

The first bolt of tribulation lightning descended, smashing into the pills. One pill was instantly obliterated into dust, while the remaining nine endured the baptism of lightning. The intense thunderbolts purified the pills further, removing their final impurities.

A Test of Strength

Seeing the destruction of one pill, Xiao Tiance winced.

"Ten sets of materials for ten pills, yet one is already lost. What a waste!" he thought bitterly.

As more tribulation lightning gathered, Xiao Tiance decided to intervene. "I can't let this go unchecked. If the strikes continue unabated, the remaining pills might also be destroyed."

With a single thought, Qinghou, the strongest of his Heavenly Puppets, shot into the sky. The puppet intercepted the lightning bolts, absorbing most of their destructive force.

Under this protection, the remaining nine pills began to emit a golden glow, marked by faint red streaks. As Xiao Tiance observed, the pills developed eight intricate patterns across their surfaces.

A Critical Decision

Xiao Tiance furrowed his brow. "The pills can endure one more lightning strike, which will add a ninth pattern and greatly enhance their potency. But the risk of failure increases with each strike. Should I take the gamble?"

After a mont's thought, Xiao Tiance commanded Qinghou to shift slightly, allowing the next wave of lightning to strike the pills directly.

"Buzz!"

The nine pills trembled violently as the lightning struck. Monts later, each pill bore a ninth pattern, signaling their completion.

"Success!" Xiao Tiance's face lit up with relief.

Pill Spirits and Escaping Tribulation

As Xiao Tiance prepared to collect the pills, sothing unexpected happened. The nine pills suddenly emitted a blinding light and transford into nine golden dragons, each with five claws, attempting to flee.

"Trying to escape? Not on my watch!" Xiao Tiance's voice bood as he unleashed the full might of his Heavenly Sovereign mid stage aura. The oppressive energy paralyzed the nine dragons, forcing them to revert to their pill forms.

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Tiance sealed the pills into nine jade bottles.

A Sudden Crisis

Before he could fully relax, Xiao Tiance sensed sothing alarming. The storm above had not dissipated. Instead, an even more ferocious bolt of lightning began to take form, its power comparable to the red lightning tribulation he had faced when advancing to mid stage Heavenly Sovereign.

As he deliberated on recalling Qinghou, the lightning condensed into the form of a thunder qilin and charged directly at the puppet.

"No! Qinghou hasn't fully absorbed the previous lightning energy. If this strikes, it will destroy his body!" Xiao Tiance reacted instantly, activating his Heavenly Dao Myriad Tribulations Body, summoning a towering 2,600 ter figure of pure energy.

But the qilin was faster.

A Shocking Revelation

The thunder qilin struck Qinghou squarely, unleashing devastating energy. A chilling, inhuman scream erupted from the puppet.

"Damn it! Just one step away! I was so close to taking over this Heavenly Puppet's body! Curse you, Xiao Tiance! I won't let you off, even in death!"

The voice sent shockwaves through the air.

"Feng Mingtian?" Xiao Tiance and Ling'er exclaid simultaneously.

The voice belonged to none other than Feng Mingtian, the forr clan leader of the True Phoenix Clan, thought to have perished under Xiao Tiance's lightning tribulation.

Unbeknownst to all, Feng Mingtian had hidden a fragnt of his soul within Qinghou's body, attempting to possess it.

As the thunder qilin's strike obliterated him, the True Phoenix mark on Qinghou's forehead also vanished, marking the end of Feng Mingtian's sches.

Xiao Tiance gazed into the dissipating storm clouds and exhaled deeply. "One less threat, but many more to face."
