Chapter 1930: Chapter 2027: The Heaven-Defying Pill
The person holding the umbrella had a face full of helplessness, but he also deeply understood the temperament of this Nine-Colored Deer. It was stubbornly unyielding, and unless that person came here in person, it would be almost impossible to take that item away, no matter how much he pleaded.
Do I really have to resort to force?
However, the person holding the umbrella was merely voicing his thoughts. If he truly attempted to seize it by force, the Nine-Colored Deer might lead all the demon beasts here to fight him to the death. Then, would he strike, or not? Was he truly prepared to slaughter them all?
That was clearly impossible. Not only did the person holding the umbrella not want to attack the Nine-Colored Deer and its companions, but if he did, he would lose face before that person.
"Alas, since you are so obstinate, we can only wait for him to come and take it himself. However, there is something else I need to tell you: the ancient magic tree is causing chaos outside, and soon many people will enter here to seek refuge," said the person holding the umbrella.
The Nine-Colored Deer immediately showed displeasure: "No outsiders are allowed to set foot in this place."
The person holding the umbrella smiled bitterly and said, "Would you rather watch the people outside be slaughtered by the ancient magic tree? I doubt that person would want such a thing to happen."
The Nine-Colored Deer hesitated, standing there silently, seemingly considering whether to allow people from outside to enter this sanctuary for refuge.
The person holding the umbrella knew that when this old deer hesitated, there was a chance. He quickly said, "No need to think further. Letting them in is only for temporary refuge. Once it’s safe outside, they will naturally leave. You just need to restrain those demon beasts, so they don’t act unruly."
The Nine-Colored Deer compromised: "Fine, but if these people don’t know their place, I won’t show them any mercy."
"Of course, you may deal with those who don’t know their limits as you see fit," said the person holding the umbrella.
The Nine-Colored Deer pondered for a moment and couldn’t help but ask, "Is he still alive?"
The person holding the umbrella showed a rare solemnity and nodded towards the Nine-Colored Deer.
Seeing this, the Nine-Colored Deer did not say anything further and turned back into the pitch-black sea below. Meanwhile, the many ferocious sea beasts that had been roaring earlier all fell silent, and the sea returned to calm.
The person holding the umbrella exhaled a breath of turbid air. Although he hadn’t taken that item this trip, it wasn’t for nothing. At least the Nine-Colored Deer and other beasts were still there, indicating that the item was still there too.

A streak of white light shot up from beneath the earth, and despite the formation barriers, it could not suppress this white light.
As the white light appeared, thunderclouds gathered across the sky, and an angry roar seemed to echo from within those clouds.
This was a scene that happened when Fang Lin was refining the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill at the Pill Saint Palace.
At the moment of pill formation, heaven and earth became furious, disallowing the existence of a transcendental elixir in the world.
Now, another pill that could not exist between heaven and earth was about to be realized, drawing the thunderclouds together, soon to bring down a heavenly tribulation to obliterate this pill.
In the Ancient Demon Ridge, the demon creatures trembled, and even those ancient demons with profound cultivation felt a deep fear in their hearts.
Demon beasts are naturally afraid of thunder, and this level of heavenly thunder was enough to frighten some with lower cultivation into submission.
The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, seated before the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, looked up at the sky with a hint of joy on his face, knowing that Fang Lin was about to succeed in refining the pill, and it was surely an extraordinary one; otherwise, there wouldn’t be a heavenly tribulation.
However, since Fang Lin was refining beneath the Ancient Demon Ridge, the heavenly tribulation would involve the ridge as well, which left the Great Sage Equal to Heaven somewhat helpless.
"Well, my invincible body needs to be tempered by the heavenly tribulation anyway," the Great Sage Equal to Heaven murmured to himself, gazing at the dark thunderclouds gradually forming in the sky, without much worry but rather a hint of eager anticipation and expectation.
Dugu Nian, dressed in red, walked out from within a cave, looking at the rolling black clouds above with some surprise and confusion.
"Hall Master, it’s best to head back into the cave. This is the Pill Formation Tribulation," Yu Cuilian, coming from behind, advised Dugu Nian.
Yu Cuilian, one of the remnants of the Pill Saint Palace, naturally knew more than the contemporaneous Pill Refiners. She could tell at a glance where these thunderclouds originated from.
However, Yu Cuilian was also quite excited and amazed. When Fang Lin was refining the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill back then, she was just a newly entered disciple of the Pill Saint Palace and had the fortune to witness the scene where the thunderclouds covered the sky.
And now, Yu Cuilian didn’t expect to see the same scene again, and she had no doubt that this was Fang Lin refining an extremely powerful pill; otherwise, such a formidable Pill Formation Tribulation wouldn’t occur.
"Pill Formation Tribulation?" Dugu Nian asked with some puzzlement.
Yu Cuilian explained, "If a pill that the heavens do not condone is about to be born, a Pill Formation Tribulation will appear to annihilate the imminent forbidden pill."
"Isn’t that extremely dangerous?" Dugu Nian became a little worried.
Yu Cuilian said, "It is dangerous, but there’s no need to be overly concerned."
Despite the words, Dugu Nian couldn’t help but feel a bit of worry deep inside, though there was nothing she could do at present.
Meanwhile, Yu Cuilian looked at Dugu Nian with meaningful eyes, and inwardly sighed. She had heard about how many beautiful and affectionate senior and junior disciples admired Fang Lin during his time at the Pill Saint Palace, not to mention the many excellent women who openly expressed their love for him, yet Fang Lin never reciprocated any and was devoted to the Alchemy Tao.
But now, Fang Lin had actually fallen for this woman. If those women from the past knew, who knows how many secretly would feel heartbroken.

In the Seven Seas, Qi Liansheng had just landed on a desolate island. Turning around suddenly, he saw a white light on the distant lands of the Nine Countries, shooting up into the sky, clear and distinct even from this great distance.
Qi Liansheng stared in a daze. Though he didn’t know what exactly had occurred, he understood one thing; such a profound Pill Formation Rainbow Light could only be achieved by Fang Lin.
"Hm? Thunderclouds are beginning to gather too. It seems you’ve once again crafted a pill that the heavens cannot tolerate," Qi Liansheng said as he saw dark clouds flying towards the lands of the Nine Countries, feeling profoundly moved.
The person holding the umbrella flew across the sky, witnessing the white light piercing the heavens and the enormous dark clouds hanging over the lands of the Nine Countries.
"This boy, he’s faster than I expected," the person holding the umbrella said with a smile, his figure suddenly disappearing.
At the same time, deep within the vast mountains, the Hidden Kill Hall Master, who had been absorbing the vitality of countless demon beasts, had gradually healed the wound in his chest.
As the white light emerged, the Hidden Kill Hall Master’s face turned gloomy, with a murderous intent flaring in his eyes.
"If the heavens wish to destroy you, I shall aid the heavens," the Hidden Kill Hall Master said coldly.
