I Truly Am The Villian-Chapter 1118 - 1117: Half-Step Emperor Pill, Reflect on It, Ponder Carefully

It had the head of a cat but bore Dragon Horns on its head, especially its eyes, as if fusing two into one.

Mysterious and authoritative.

Its body was a blend of Dragon Scales and cat fur, its claws sharp beyond measure.

“Has this guy gone mad?” Dan Qingyun exclaimed in shock.

The Pills were almost formed; doing this could completely destroy them.

Xu Zimei then set foot in empty space, rising directly out of the range sheltered by the Pill Dragon Pillar.

Without the protection of the Pill Dragon Pillar, Xu Zimei faced the Heavenly Tribulation above directly.

He threw the unfinished Pills into the void.

The dissipating Thunderbolt now surged back with even greater intensity at the reappearance of the Pills.

It gathered in the void, as if provoked.

It seemed determined to annihilate the Pills immediately.

Silver-white Thunderbolt turned into black Thunderbolt.

Descended with an aura of world annihilation.

However, Xu Zimei remained indifferent, watching as his Pills were obliterated by the Thunderbolt.

Only then did he slowly extend his right hand, the green Spiritual Energy of the Qi of Great Mysterious gathered in his palm.

As he stretched out, the green Spiritual Energy suddenly expanded explosively.

It turned into a towering column of light, imbued with immense power thrusting into the heavens, as though it sought to scatter the Heavenly Tribulation above the Firmament.

The surging green Spiritual Energy was in motion.

It entered the Heavenly Tribulation, and the Firmament was pitch-black everywhere.

All looked up to see only the figure of Xu Zimei standing against the Firmament.

In his black robe fluttering against the wind, his gaze was calm, as if endless Thunderbolt flickered in his eyes.

His presence suppressed everything around him.

Directly facing the vast Heavenly Tribulation.

One man’s power could shake the heavens.

………

“What on earth is this guy trying to do?”

“Such a pill refinement technique has never been heard of before.”

Even the Pill Saint Elder of the Pill Tower frowned deeply; he, who spent his life in alchemy within the Mortal Domain, did not dare claim to be invincible against the world.

But there were very few who could surpass him.

And in terms of knowledge, he was definitely not inferior to anyone.

However, he could not comprehend the young man’s pill refinement at all.

That left only one explanation: the pill refinement techniques he used did not originate from the Mortal Domain.

The vastness of the Nine Domains was boundless; only this could make sense of it all.

………

At this time, the grand voice of Xu Zimei came through from the void.

“The Thirty-Eight Pill Tribulations.

Cycling through the endless, manifesting heaven,

Sequence, rush, error!

Pattern, measure, departure.

The meaning of the Great Mysterious adheres to the heavens,

The three realms of heaven, earth, and man, none can be obtained.

The Great Mysterious, is the way of Pills.

With the scripture inscribed, the heavenly wheel forms.”

This sentence is the prologue of the Great Mysterious Pill Scripture, what’s called an introduction.

“Great Mysterious, Great Mysterious,” the Pill Saint Elder muttered to himself below.

As he recited the words spoken by Xu Zimei, his eyes appeared lifeless, unfocused, as if he had fallen into a certain state.

“Pill Saint Elder, what is wrong with you?” Zen Old Ghost asked beside him.

But the Pill Saint Elder ignored him, simply repeating the words Xu Zimei had said.

After repeating for a while, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes wide open.

As if he had thought of something.

“Pill Saint Elder, are you alright?” Zen Old Ghost continued to ask.

“Great Mysterious, Great Mysterious, that is the Great Mysterious Pill Scripture,” said the Pill Saint Elder, his face ashen, excited yet despairing.

As his words fell, the firmament above had already reached a verdict.

Just then, after confronting Xu Zimei for half a quarter of an hour, the vast Heavenly Tribulation completely annihilated the pills, and then disappeared without a trace.

The Pill Calamity came quickly and left just as fast.

The sky cleared, and in an instant, it was again a clear blue expanse.

As if none of what just happened had ever occurred.

………

“The Thunderbolt has passed,” the surrounding people discussed in whispers.

“What about the pill he was refining?”

“It seems to have been destroyed by the Thunderbolt.”

“Tsk, I thought he would have some kind of trick up his sleeve, all bark and no bite.”

“Could it be that he knew he was definitely going to lose, so he purposefully staged this show?”

On the seated platform, Zen Old Ghost was excited and looked at the Pill Saint Elder, smiling and saying, “What Great Mysterious Pill Scripture, Pill Saint Elder, please announce the results.

His pills were destroyed, and the nephew Dan Qingyun’s pills are ninth-grade utmost pills, he rightly deserves to take the first place.”

“Truly worthy of Pill Tower’s upbringing, promising despite his youth.”

Zen Old Ghost kept on congratulating him, but the Pill Saint Elder remained still, just staring intently at Xu Zimei.

………

Xu Zimei descended from the void.

With his right hand extended, in the distant horizon, a celestial dragon rolled over among the clouds, heading toward him.

The celestial dragon possessed spirit, swirling in the void, bursting forth with a light that spanned ten thousand zhang.

With a wave of Xu Zimei’s hand, the celestial dragon transformed into a pill, floating past.

With another wave, the pill once again transformed into a celestial dragon, moving agilely toward him.

“What kind of pill is this?” Dan Qingyun asked.

“Nine Lives Immortal Dragon Pill,” Xu Zimei said with a smile.

“Pills with spirit, turning into substance, I’ve heard of this,” Dan Qingyun said quietly.

“Legend has it that the Thirty-Three Supreme Pill Venerable once refined this pill.

At that time, the Divine Race and the ten major clans were at war.

With the emergence of this pill, which equally had a spirit, it transformed into an ancient Giant.

On that battlefield, it was invincible, leaving the Divine Race without a single piece of armor left.

A famous battle in one fell swoop.

Latterly, people referred to that kind of pill as the Emperor Pill.”

Having said that, Dan Qingyun let out a deep sigh, and remarked, “People always consider pills as a mere aid.

Little do they know that pills, when refined to the utmost, can similarly determine heaven and earth, with no limits in their reach.

Amongst the three thousand Great Dao, who has my Dao of Pills ever feared?”

“This can’t be considered an Emperor Pill, at most it’s a Half-Step Emperor Pill,” Xu Zimei laughed.

“I saw that the pill you refined is clearly a ninth-grade pill, so how can it be a Half-Step Emperor Pill?”

Having said this, Dan Qingyun gave a deep bow to Xu Zimei.

“Please enlighten me and resolve my confusion.”

Xu Zimei smiled, pointed toward the firmament, and asked, “What’s the purpose of the Pill Calamity?”

“The Great Dao doesn’t allow the existence of some pills, so a Heavenly Tribulation is sent down to destroy them,” Dan Qingyun replied.

“Young man, you’ve gone astray,” Xu Zimei patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

“A mere ninth-grade pill is intolerable to heaven and earth; then, what about an Emperor Pill, or even stronger pills? Wouldn’t they all be arrogantly defying heaven?”

As Xu Zimei’s words ended, Dan Qingyun’s brow furrowed.

“Without undergoing the baptism of a Pill Calamity, how can one refine an Emperor Pill,” Xu Zimei responded.

“Consider that carefully.”
