The pressure of a Seven-Star Dou Zong was released without reservation.
This place for Alchemy was sparsely populated, but that didn't mean it was a no-man's land.
And at a time like this, they naturally couldn't be disturbed.
Therefore, Medusa directly released her pressure.
The Black-Corner Region was not like the Central Plains; a Dou Zong in the Black-Corner Region was already considered a grand master.
A Dou Huang in the Black-Corner Region could establish their own sect, and a Dou Zong could walk with their head held high anywhere.
Han Feng, a Peak Dou Huang, used his connections as an Alchemist to recruit a few Dou Huangs and one or two Dou Zongs, making him almost untouchable in the Black-Corner Region.
So, once Medusa's Seven-Star Dou Zong pressure came out, it directly intimidated nearby experts from approaching.
In fact, the moment the thunderclouds formed, they caught the attention of some nearby experts.
However, before they could even fly near, they felt a terrifying pressure.
"A Dou Zong!" The onlookers who had rushed over were shocked.
"More than that, judging by this aura, I'm afraid it's a High-Tier Dou Zong!"
"Scatter, scatter. It seems some high-tier Alchemist is refining pills here. We can only be envious; let's not linger here, lest we displease this expert."
The crowd of practitioners left in regret, no one daring to go nearby to investigate.
These Loose Cultivators, whose strongest were only Dou Huangs, didn't have the courage to investigate at close range.
After all, even if they were just grazed by the Pill Lightning, they would lose half their lives.
Furthermore, an Alchemist who could refine a seventh-grade pill was not someone they could afford to offend.
They had only wanted to watch the excitement from afar and see the scene of a seventh-grade pill being born.
Because for people like them, a seventh-grade pill was a grade that only existed in legends.
However, since the other party had already given a warning, they wouldn't continue to ask for trouble.
On the other side, Medusa had already engaged the Pill Lightning falling from the sky.
Silver lightning converged more and more intensely within the thunderclouds, with low rumbles constantly echoing inside.
Eventually, the atmosphere of the entire sky became extremely oppressive.
After about ten seconds, a rift suddenly opened in the thunderclouds.
Then, a bolt of silver lightning about several feet wide, carrying a world-shaking roar, shot out from the thunderclouds like a giant silver python.
Seeing the silver lightning crashing down, a hint of solemnity also crossed Medusa's eyes.
She clenched her palm, and as seven-colored energy gathered, a seven-colored long spear appeared in her hand, striking out against the Pill Lightning.
"Boom!"
The silver lightning crashed down, and as two completely different forces collided, even the surrounding Void Realm showed faint cracks.
Although the initial Pill Lightning's power barely reached the Dou Zong level and couldn't pose any threat to Medusa,
the speed of Pill Lightning was extremely fast, requiring constant vigilance to ensure it didn't affect Xiao Xue below.
That remnant soul? Who? Not familiar.
The first few minor bolts of Pill Lightning were easily blocked by Medusa.
But as time passed, the power of the Pill Lightning grew stronger and stronger, requiring Medusa to respond carefully.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With several silver bolts shattered in succession by Medusa, the thunderclouds seemed to grow even more enraged.
Immediately, countless silver flashes flickered, and bolts of lightning broke through the thunderclouds like silver pythons, one after another, smashing fiercely toward Medusa in the air.
Looking at the dense silver lightning falling from the sky, the solemnity in Medusa's eyes also grew deeper.
A moment later, a crackling sound echoed again as a silver thunderbolt, more than twice as thick as the previous one, shot out from the black clouds once more.
Seven-colored flames rose around Medusa, and then her jade-like hands flapped fiercely.
Streaks of seven-colored energy surged from her body, fearlessly meeting the sky full of silver lightning.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Massive thunderous explosions erupted continuously in the sky.
Each explosion caused the space of this world to tremble slightly.
A collision at the Dou Zong level could already tear through space.
Silver lightning covered the sky and came down; this scene, like the end of the world, caused a sense of dread to spread from the depths of one's Soul.
High in the air, after confronting dozens of silver bolts head-on, Medusa was also slightly fatigued.
Although the power of this Pill Lightning was at most that of a Five-Star Dou Zong,
keeping her nerves constantly tense was not an easy task for Medusa.
As the final bolt of Pill Lightning fell, the silver thunder collided with the seven-colored energy.
Terrifying spatial ripples spread out rapidly like water waves.
The massive silver lightning slowly collapsed, the spatial cracks lingered for a long time, and Medusa was also pushed back by the energy impact.
After taking several steps in the void to buffer herself, she finally stabilized her figure, feeling an indescribable numbness all over her body.
As the final bolt of lightning was shattered, the power of thunder within the clouds in the sky finally diminished significantly.
Then, the thunderclouds gradually stopped churning.
And looking at their color, they also slowly began to fade.
Clearly, this Pill Lightning had ended.
Medusa also breathed a sigh of relief; clearly, the difficulty of this Pill Lightning far exceeded her expectations.
A single bolt of Pill Lightning was naturally nothing, but being struck one after another... if her strength hadn't been quite a bit higher than the Pill Lightning, she probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
Xiao Xue casually threw Medusa a Medicinal Pill as a "reward" (compensation/wages), as she had also noticed this problem.
Pill Lightning was, after all, the power of heaven and earth; if one used human strength to resist it, it was somewhat exhausting.
Those at the same level probably couldn't hold out, let alone the future eighth-grade or ninth-grade Pill Lightning.
In the original story, Xiao Yan used Puppets to block Pill Lightning, so he naturally didn't have these troubles.
She was about to reach the seventh-grade, and in the future, drawing Pill Lightning during Alchemy would be a common occurrence... should she also get herself a Puppet? Xiao Xue thought.
However, for one thing, she didn't have the body of a Dou Zong level expert or other Materials.
Secondly, even if she had the Materials to refine a Puppet, she didn't have the method to do so.
Yao Lao probably didn't have a method for refining Puppets either.
The refining method for the Heavenly Demon Puppet was something Xiao Yan had fortunately obtained himself.
Otherwise, Xiao Yan, who had received all of Yao Lao's Legacy, wouldn't have needed to wait until he "fortunately" obtained the production method for the Heavenly Demon Puppet before starting to refine Puppets.
So... Xiao Xue walked over and patted Medusa's shoulder, "Little Sha, you'll have to get used to being struck by lightning."
