The Path of Immortality: Starts With Creating Water Bear Gu-Chapter 411: Chaos

"Reincarnation Thunder! Reincarnation Thunder! This is actually the legendary Reincarnation Thunder!"

"Hahaha... As expected of our Long Clan’s alchemy genius! To defy the heavens to such an extent, I fear that even throughout history, there has never been another like him."

"This time, the championship of the alchemy competition is ours! Our Long Clan has won for sure! Thank you! Thank you! Hahaha..."

Long Xiaoyao cupped his hands toward the crowd with a beaming smile, unable to contain his excitement. He burst into wild laughter.

The group of Gu cultivators from the Long Clan, who had been watching, clenched their fists in exhilaration before joining in the laughter. The tension that had gripped them for so long finally loosened at this moment. They understood that in this high-stakes gamble with the Feng Clan, their Long Clan was destined to win.

Someone had actually refined a pill that had attracted the ninth-ranked Reincarnation Thunder from legend!

Such an earth-shattering revelation was like a bolt of thunder out of a clear sky. Everyone was stunned.

The vast crowd of onlookers was flushed with excitement, engaging in frantic discussions with those beside them.

The arrival of Reincarnation Thunder sent the crowd into an uproar. Most people were so overwhelmed with excitement that they lost all reason.

However, some quickly regained their senses. It was as if they had suddenly realized something, their faces turning pale. They began frantically pushing their way out of the crowd.

That was a heavenly tribulation! The might of a heavenly tribulation was beyond terrifying. Even the tenth-ranked Life-Destroying Thunder was enough to obliterate everything in existence—let alone the even higher-ranked Reincarnation Thunder.

Watching the Reincarnation Thunder descend from such a close distance? That was courting death without even knowing how one would die.

Of course, this was also because heavenly tribulations had not appeared for a long time. Many ignorant people did not even understand what a heavenly tribulation was, let alone its terror.

Feng Tiancheng, however, was not among the ignorant. The Western Region Alchemy Competition had been held countless times for over ten thousand years, yet never had a single contestant refined a pill that triggered a heavenly tribulation—not even once.

Who could have imagined that in this competition, there would actually be not one, but three people who had refined pills capable of summoning a heavenly tribulation?

This was a disaster!

He had never even considered that someone might summon a heavenly tribulation during the alchemy competition, so he had instinctively arranged for the competition to be held in the imperial capital.

In the past, all Western Region Alchemy Competitions had been hosted in the imperial capitals of various nations.

This arrangement had never been a problem before. But now that someone had triggered a heavenly tribulation, it was an enormous crisis!

The power of the tribulation lightning was simply too terrifying. What could possibly withstand its wrath? If the heavenly tribulation descended upon the imperial capital, the entire city might be reduced to ruins!

Holding the finals in the imperial capital was practically seeking death.

At this thought, Feng Tiancheng’s face turned deathly pale. His expression twisted as he roared, "Activate the Grand City Protection Formation immediately! Deploy all defensive formations across the city! Do not spare a single spirit stone!"

"Damn it! This is a catastrophe!" Feng Tiancheng cast a vicious glare at Long Xuan. His expression turned ruthless as he immediately charged toward him.

No matter what, he could not allow the heavenly tribulation to descend! This was the ninth-ranked Reincarnation Thunder! He had no confidence that the city's protective formation could withstand its onslaught.

He wanted to kill and stop it at all costs.

However, Long Xiaoyao was not about to let him succeed. He immediately intercepted Feng Tiancheng, sneering coldly, "What’s wrong? Are you trying to flip the table and act shamelessly just because you're about to lose?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"If you can’t afford to lose, then don’t play in the first place. Even if you kill him in front of everyone, do you think the Feng Clan will still be able to convince the masses?"

Feng Tiancheng was blocked, growing increasingly anxious. He had already lost ten of his life-bound Gu insects. At this moment, he was no match for Long Xiaoyao. Killing Long Xuan was simply impossible.

"Damn it! Get out of my way! Do you even understand how terrifying Reincarnation Thunder is? If it descends upon this densely populated area, people will die!" Feng Tiancheng roared in fury.

Their battle finally snapped the frenzied crowd back to reality.

As their rationality returned, people realized the true gravity of the situation. Their faces turned ashen, and they began to flee in panic.

"Not good! Run!"

"Sh*t!"

"Why are you still standing around? Watching a heavenly tribulation? Do you have a death wish?!"

Chaos erupted in the crowd. Everyone's faces were pale as they ran like madmen.

It wasn’t just the spectators—even people throughout the entire city, upon witnessing this terrifying scene, realized that something was terribly wrong and began fleeing toward the city gates. The entire imperial capital fell into complete disorder!

Gone was the excitement from earlier. If they could grow an extra pair of legs, they would. Everyone was desperately sprinting for their lives.

"Damn it! This is a catastrophe!"

On the high platform, the assembled Gu Kings all wiped away their previous enthusiasm, their expressions turning grim.

As they looked at the sky, now covered with dense black clouds crackling with white lightning, an overwhelming aura of destruction was building up. Their faces darkened considerably.

Even the judges on the high platform hesitated, unsure whether they should flee or not.

The might of Reincarnation Thunder was far beyond what Gu Kings could withstand. How could they not fear it?

Eventually, someone put survival above dignity. A Gu King jumped off the platform and ran for his life.

Where there is one, there will be more.

As soon as the first person fled, the other Gu Kings followed suit, leaping from the high platform and disappearing within moments.

At this moment, no one dared to stay. Remaining here was certain death.

Of course, some were bolder. They retreated to a safer distance, their eyes gleaming with excitement as they eagerly watched the plaza, wanting to witness this once-in-a-millennium spectacle.

Curiosity killed the cat, and many shared this sentiment.

Ancestor Burning Heaven and Ancestor Deceitful Heaven gazed solemnly at the sky. Exchanging a glance, their expressions turned bitter.

What did it matter if they were once the number one alchemists? What did it matter if they were the greatest alchemists from two hundred years ago?

At this moment, these two grand figures of the alchemy world had been reduced to mere background characters for a junior.

They had lost. They had lost to a mere third-grade alchemist. And they had lost four rounds in a row, with their total score left in the dust.

They both felt their faces burning with humiliation.

As the heavenly tribulation was about to descend, their expressions were as grave as could be, yet they did not immediately flee.

It was not because they were overly confident in their own strength. Even though their red tribulation clouds had been completely swallowed by the white ones, this also meant there was a silver lining.

The disappearance of their own tribulation clouds meant their pills were no longer being targeted by the heavenly tribulation.

Without the interference of the terrifying lightning, their pills could now be fully refined.

They were reluctant to abandon such heaven-defying pills. Gritting their teeth, they could only endure.

After all, the seating arrangement for the finals was determined by total score rankings.

The two old demons had the closest score to Long Xuan, which meant they were seated right next to him. If the heavenly tribulation descended, they would be in extreme danger...
