"Alright," Di Tian said, though he didn't know Yun Ze's intention, he still honestly followed suit.
He raised his palm, using Soul Power to lift all fifteen pieces of metal, and placed them all into the Soul Power liquid.
Seeing that the protective barrier was like a liquid, allowing objects to pass through easily, Di Tian felt a bit uncertain. Could this really block lightning?
"Rumble!" The lightning in the sky seemed to have finished brewing. A loud noise erupted, and a purple lightning bolt struck down from the heavens.
The main lightning bolt was as thick as a bucket, winding and irregular, accompanied by many branch lightning bolts around it. Its momentum was immense; this lightning bolt seemed capable of splitting mountains.
The lightning struck the circular liquid Soul Power, like a clay ox entering the sea. No matter how great its impact, it couldn't cause much disturbance.
The small whirlpools rotated at high speed. The striking lightning covered them and was rapidly absorbed. The originally powerful and thick lightning was continuously absorbed by the Soul Power whirlpools. Some Soul Power was scattered by the impact, but the overall shape remained intact, without significant damage. The absorbed lightning flowed within the liquid Soul Power, transforming into electric snakes that swam around, ferocious and fierce, darting with lightning speed.
The fifteen pieces of sentient metal became the targets of the electric snakes' attacks. Countless electric snakes bit at the metal, dyeing the fiery metal purplish-red.
Di Tian and the others, who had been ready to defend against the lightning, stopped their movements abruptly, staring blankly at the Soul Power liquid above.
"Rumble!" Another lightning bolt struck down, thicker and fiercer than the previous one, with a strong aura of destruction.
It was still like a stone falling into a muddy swamp, not splashing much Soul Power liquid. The lightning was absorbed by the liquid Soul Power, transforming into electric snakes within it and surging towards the sentient metal.
Not only did the sentient metal not fear these electric snakes, but it also showed signs of excitement, like children seeing food, cheering and jumping with joy.
They greedily absorbed the lightning. This highly destructive lightning became the nourishment that nurtured them.
"Rumble rumble!" Two deafening sounds rang out, giving a feeling of space shattering and the world being filled with lightning.
The Soul Power liquid was semi-transparent. Di Tian and the others vaguely saw the two thick lightning bolts striking down from the sky and immediately became nervous, adopting defensive stances.
This condensed Soul Power liquid withstood the test. The two lightning bolts could not harm it.
"No need to be nervous. This level of lightning cannot destroy the array," Yun Ze said calmly.
"Bear Lord, inject Soul Power into me."
"Alright." Bear Lord reacted a few beats slower and quickly transferred his Soul Power, injecting attribute-less energy into Yun Ze's body.
Yun Ze calmly refined the pills, ignoring the lightning. His demeanor gave the feeling that everything was under control.
Watching the liquid Soul Power block all the incoming lightning, Di Tian gradually became excited, his heart burning with anticipation, as if he saw hope.
He had been suppressing his nine hundred thousand year Heavenly Tribulation because he wasn't confident and didn't dare to face it.
But now, the magical array set up by Yun Ze gave him hope. If he could have a stronger array protecting him when facing the Heavenly Tribulation, wouldn't he be...
Thinking of this, even with Di Tian's temperament, he couldn't help but lose some control, his breathing becoming rapid.
Bi Ji seemed to have also thought of this. She held Di Tian's hand, and the two looked at each other, understanding what was in the other's heart.
Gu Yue Na's beautiful eyes gazed at Yun Ze's back, staring for a long time, a smile unconsciously appearing on her face.
Half an hour later, the lightning stopped striking. The thunderclouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and the Heavenly Tribulation retreated.
The hemispherical liquid Soul Power below remained intact, looking as if it was completely unharmed. The Heavenly Tribulation had been unable to harm it.
Yun Ze took out the conical metal from the center. The array instantly lost energy, and the gathered liquid Soul Power began to disperse.
High-concentration Soul Power permeated the vicinity, making the air incredibly fresh. Taking a light breath, one immediately felt refreshed and invigorated.
The Soul Power is indeed rich, but it contains lightning, making it unsuitable for absorption and cultivation.
The pill furnace landed, marking the complete end of the alchemy process that had lasted over four days. The Heavenly Tribulation dispersed, and the pills were formed.
Before opening the furnace, there was still no scent overflowing. All the pill fragrance was sealed within the furnace.
"Yun Ze," Gu Yue Na immediately stepped forward, supporting the somewhat exhausted Yun Ze. Looking at his tired face, her heart ached.
"I'm fine," Yun Ze waved his hand, took out six jade bottles from his Storage Ring, and handed them to Gu Yue Na.
"Help me put the pills from the furnace into these."
"Miss, I'll do it," Bi Ji proactively stepped forward and took on the task of collecting the pills.
Gu Yue Na naturally didn't object. She handed the jade bottles to her and supported Yun Ze herself.
The furnace opened, and a strange fragrance immediately wafted out. The rich aroma made every pore on one's body open, as if their soul had been sublimated.
Six pale green pills, the size of lychees, were placed into the jade bottles by Bi Ji using her Soul Power.
One of them was to be given to Gu Ming, and the other five would be used for auction.
Seeing these six round, plump, and shiny pills, Bi Ji's eyes were full of envy. When could I have such alchemy skills?
Di Tian came to Yun Ze's side, supporting the fifteen pieces of spiritual metal that had undergone the baptism of lightning with his Soul Power.
Lightning flashed on the surface of the fifteen pieces of metal, crackling and making sounds similar to popping beans. The energy was somewhat violent.
There wasn't much change on the surface of the metal. In reality, their overall strength and toughness had been greatly improved, and they were also more spiritual.
"Did you attract the Heavenly Tribulation just now?" Gu Yue Na asked the question she had been wanting to ask.
Yun Ze shook his head, looked at the jade bottles in Bi Ji's hand, and said, "To be precise, it attracted it."
Gu Yue Na, Di Tian, and the others' gazes also focused on the jade bottles.
"The lifespan of living beings follows nature. The length is determined by heaven. Those who wish to defy heaven and change a person's lifespan will naturally be punished by heaven."
"One year of lifespan doesn't have much impact, but a hundred years of lifespan is not short for a person. The rules of the world do not allow it."
"That's why the Heavenly Tribulation descended, to destroy these pills. I set up this array in advance because I anticipated the Heavenly Tribulation and prepared defenses," Yun Ze said slowly.
Several days of sleeplessness made his voice somewhat hoarse.
In fact, he didn't just prepare defenses; he also utilized the Heavenly Tribulation, using the lightning to temper the spiritual metal and improve its quality.
"So that's how it is," Gu Yue Na and the others understood, their doubts resolved.
"Young Master, how strong of a Heavenly Tribulation can your Thunder Resistance Array withstand at its strongest?" Di Tian asked somewhat eagerly.
Bi Ji and Bear Lord both looked at Yun Ze with anticipation and nervousness, afraid of hearing a disappointing answer.
Yun Ze understood what they were thinking. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Once I reach Soul King cultivation, the array I set up will be enough to withstand a Divine-level Heavenly Tribulation."
His judgment was based on the power of Gu Yue Na that he had initially felt. According to her, that was Divine-level power.
"Really?" Di Tian and the others exclaimed in unison, unable to contain their excitement. Yun Ze's words were equivalent to removing the mountain of death that had been pressing down on them.
Gu Yue Na also smiled. This was undoubtedly a huge piece of good news for the Soul Beasts, meaning they no longer had to worry about the Heavenly Tribulation.
