Chapter 540: Four Colors… Five Colors Dan Thunder Appears! Pill Tower's Reputation is Gone!
Wu Tian's words left everyone stunned.
If anyone else had said such things, maybe they could accept it.
But him?
A guy who had slept through most of the competition?
How shameless could he be?!
He had just called out a Saint by name and said, "Is this all you've got?"
Just how big was his ego?!
Wait…
Why wasn't Gu You getting angry?
Could it be…?
The realization hit the crowd all at once.
Something wasn't right.
A Saint had just been publicly ridiculed…
And he wasn't even slightly mad?
If anyone else had dared to insult him like that, they'd be dead before they even finished their sentence.
Even if someone from the Pill Tower had said it, the Elders wouldn't step in to stop the punishment.
Because mocking a powerhouse meant death.
This was the rule of the Dou Qi Continent strength was absolute.
And Saints were beyond untouchable.
Most of the people present had never even seen a Saint before.
Even if they were given ten thousand lives, they wouldn't dare to provoke one.
But Wu Tian had just mocked a Saint to his face…
And Gu You didn't react at all?!
What did this mean?
It meant that Wu Tian wasn't as weak as he looked.
It meant that he was just as terrifying as Gu You.
The entire crowd's attention was now on the two of them, waiting for what would happen next.
Hearing Wu Tian's words, Gu You's eyes narrowed slightly.
Then, his lips curled into a sinister grin.
"Hehehe… Is that so?"
"They had two-colored and three-colored Dan Thunder…"
"But this Saint… isn't so limited!!! Jie jie jie~~~"
As his eerie laughter echoed, the rolling thunderclouds above began to shift.
Almost instantly, two colors emerged blue and silver.
"Two colors!!!"
The entire square erupted in shock.
But it wasn't over yet.
"Wait… Look! Another color is forming!"
Just as someone shouted, the thunderclouds churned again.
A crimson red hue began to emerge.
Under countless fervent gazes, the red color rapidly expanded.
Within just half a minute, it had fully formed.
"Three colors! It's already three-colored Dan Thunder!"
The entire square exploded into chaos.
Excitement and shock filled every face.
Another three-colored Dan Thunder?!
This was a once-in-a-century spectacle!
This was why the Pill Gathering was so legendary.
But…
Gu You wasn't done yet.
At that moment, the Elders of the Pill Tower tensed up.
And so did everyone else.
If he had only three-colored Dan Thunder, then Qing Hua still had a chance to compete.
But if…
As soon as that thought crossed their minds, the thunderclouds above trembled violently.
"Wait… It's still changing!!"
"Another color is appearing! Four colors! This is four-colored Dan Thunder!"
A frantic shout rang through the air.
And in that instant, the entire square erupted into chaos again.
Countless eyes stared at the sky in disbelief.
Because in the midst of the blue, silver, and red hues, another color had appeared a dazzling golden glow!
That golden light tore through the sky, shining brilliantly and blindingly.
It was like a miniature sun, casting golden rays across the entire square.
BOOM!
The moment that golden hue appeared, the entire crowd went insane.
Everyone jumped from their seats, faces filled with shock and disbelief.
Four-colored Dan Thunder?!
This was beyond anything anyone expected.
This level of Dan Thunder had never been seen before.
Even the Pill Tower Elders turned pale.
The entire sky was covered in four-colored Dan Thunder, weighing down on everyone below.
At that moment, the Pill Tower's reputation was crumbling.
"Creak "
Xuan Kong Zi's face darkened to the extreme.
His expression twisted with fury, and his fist clenched so tightly that his bones creaked.
The space around him shook violently from his rising emotions.
"Damn you, Soul Hall!!!"
"Calm down… We need to stay calm!"
Beside him, Tian Lei Zi looked equally furious.
He was someone known for his explosive temper, and right now, he was barely holding it together.
Hearing his words, Xuan Kong Zi suppressed his rage.
His eyes glanced sideways at Tian Lei Zi and Xuan Yi, the beautiful yet deadly woman beside them.
Then, his voice came out hoarse and filled with killing intent.
"I swear… I will personally tear that old bastard into pieces!!!"
"Mm."
Xuan Yi nodded without hesitation.
Her usual seductive charm was replaced with pure murderous intent.
The Soul Hall's shamelessness had infuriated her completely.
If she had the chance, she'd personally tear Gu You apart.
Xuan Kong Zi's body trembled with rage, his eyes burning with murderous fury.
In all his years, he had never been this angry before.
Not even when Wu Tian stole their alchemy recipes, herbs… and even their access to the Pill Realm.
But this?
This was unforgivable.
From now on, everything Wu Tian had stolen was being added to the Soul Hall's crimes.
Once the Pill Gathering ended, a blood debt would be settled!
"Sigh~ Let's wait and see… Maybe a miracle will happen?"
Xuan Yi let out a soft sigh.
Her gaze fell on the one person who had yet to take action Wu Tian.
Was he really planning to fight back?
Because if he did nothing, then the Pill Tower's reputation was doomed.
After all, in this situation, the Soul Hall was in the right.
They had followed the rules.
If the Pill Tower intervened now, they would lose all credibility.
Just then…
"Hehe~ Are you talking about this kind of miracle?"
Tian Lei Zi suddenly let out a bitter chuckle.
He raised a finger and pointed at the sky.
"…Huh???"
Both Xuan Kong Zi and Xuan Yi turned their heads.
And in that moment…
They felt it.
A terrifying energy was gathering above.
All eyes turned to the heavens.
In the already formed four-colored Dan Thunder, the thunderclouds began churning again.
They weren't stopping.
The entire square fell silent.
Every single person's mouth dropped open.
Because…
Another color was forming.
A faint purple hue began to manifest.
Slowly but surely…
Five-colored Dan Thunder.
