If we were to rank the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning like a Heavenly Flame Ranking, then this thunder would be equivalent to the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame or even the Void Swallowing Flame in the Heavenly Flame Ranking.
Only when Ninth Grade Golden Pill is refined will this Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning appear in the world. Each appearance of this thunder is earth-shattering, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. Even Dou Sheng Expert is rendered insignificant under its might. Ancient texts from the distant past contain accounts of extraordinary celestial phenomena summoned by peak-level alchemists when they refined Ninth Grade Golden Pill...
The most awe-inspiring of these phenomena is the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning. Even ordinary Dou Sheng Expert would be reduced to ashes in an instant if they were touched by it.
"Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning! It's such a rare and wondrous treasure!"
When Lei Dong saw the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning, he was slightly taken aback at first, but then he quickly reacted. His heart was filled with excitement, and even his breathing became a little rapid.
On the mainland today, no one has been able to refine Ninth Grade Golden Pill for thousands of years, which means that the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning has not appeared in the world for thousands of years!
Lei Dong had never seen a pill as close to a divine object as the Ninth Grade Golden Pill Elixir. Therefore, his knowledge of the legendary Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning was limited to what he had read in ancient books.
Although he had never seen it in person, thanks to the Lei Clan's keen perception of thunder power, he recognized the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning at first glance.
"Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning was actually born here..."
At this moment, no matter how strong Lei Dong's composure was, he couldn't help but feel a strong shock in his heart!
After a long while, he finally uttered a low murmur, his voice filled with shock and disbelief.
A golden thunder dragon coiled in the deepest part of the sea of thunder, its eyes closed, golden arcs of electricity flashing continuously on its body. A destructive power was quietly spreading out, causing the Void Space to appear extremely distorted.
Countless Black Demon Lightning surrounded the Golden Lightning Dragon a thousand feet away, as if they were paying homage to their king.
"Do you know the Spirit Gathering Technique?"
Huo Xuan suddenly asked.
"Spirit Gathering Technique?"
These words pulled Lei Dong back to reality from his shock. He nodded slightly, as Lei Dong had also studied the Spirit Gathering Technique.
"Good, you should stay away from here."
"Boom!"
In this silent space, the rumbles of thunder sounded exceptionally loud.
The power of this Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning is probably equivalent to that of Seven Star Dou Sheng. In terms of strength, Huo Xuan is not inferior to it, thanks to the power of the Strange Fire.
Huo Xuan did not act rashly. After all, his purpose in coming here was only to obtain its power, not to fight it.
"Boom!"
The coiled Golden Lightning Dragon, its eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened slowly at a certain moment. Lightning flashed and thunder roared in its pupils, as if the entire world had been reflected into those enormous dragon eyes.
"Boom!"
The massive body of the Golden Lightning Dragon suddenly exploded, unleashing huge arcs of lightning, accompanied by a mournful dragon roar that resounded throughout the heavens and earth. The surrounding Black Demon Lightning was also terrified and retreated far away.
Spiritual Qi is gathering, Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning is preparing to concentrate its power!
Although the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning is extremely terrifying, it does not yet possess sentience; that is to say, it cannot yet be considered a living being.
This so-called gathering of spirits is the gathering of spiritual intelligence. If the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning succeeds, it will transform into an existence like the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame of the past, a Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning with spiritual intelligence!
Huo Xuan has no intention of clashing with it now. He only needs to wait quietly. The gathering of spirits will definitely fail, and that will be the best time to obtain its power.
Composing himself, Huo Xuan stared intently at the Golden Lightning Dragon deep within the sea of lightning, whose massive body was constantly exploding with bursts of lightning.
At this moment, the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning also noticed Huo Xuan, but ignored him, as this was a critical moment and he could not afford to be distracted.
"Roar!"
As the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning emitted a series of mournful roars, the surrounding Black Demon Lightning Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning, which circled a thousand feet away from it, knew by instinct that the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning was at a critical moment.
"Crack!"
A golden thunderstorm, one-fifth the size of the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning, exploded violently on its body surface. Golden lightning arcs filled with destructive power surged wildly. Faced with this backlash explosion from within its body, even the mighty Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning could only struggle incessantly. However, in the midst of its frantic struggle, some Spiritual Qi began to slowly emerge from its cold, emotionless dragon eyes, making it appear more alive and no longer as cold as a sculpture as before.
"Boom!"
As some Spiritual Qi surged within the Nine Profound Golden Lightning Dragon Eye, the backlash within its body intensified. Deep, rumbling thunderous sounds continuously emanated from its body. Each terrifying explosion sent shivers down Xiao Yan's spine. Under such fierce explosions, much of the Spiritual Qi within the Nine Profound Golden Lightning Dragon Eye was actually blasted away.
"Ugh!"
The overwhelming Black Demon Lightning around them seemed to sense something instinctively. Immediately, a strange sound carrying a sense of sorrow emanated from the entire sea of lightning. Then, countless Black Demon Lightning bolts surged forth, rushing one after another towards the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning.
Countless Black Demon Lightning, upon contact with the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning's body, would transform into tiny black currents, invading its body. As they infiltrated, the violent explosions within the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning gradually subsided, as if these Black Demon Lightning were using their own bodies to resist the backlash from within the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning.
Under the relentless onslaught of the numerous Black Demon Lightning, the Spiritual Qi within the Nine Profound Golden Lightning Dragon's eyes grew increasingly dense. However, at the same time, its once dazzling golden body dimmed, the backlash causing it to weaken further...
"Roar!"
Amidst the mournful roar of the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning, the Black Demon Lightning deep within the sea of thunder went berserk, fearlessly charging into its body. However, as the Spiritual Qi within the Nine Profound Golden Lightning Dragon's eyes grew increasingly dense, the explosion within its golden body became even more frenzied. The destructive ripples that spread from the explosion were enough to make even Huo Xuan, who was far away, feel a chill run down her spine.
"It's going to fail..."
Currently, the backlash within the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning is increasing exponentially. At this rate, no matter how many times the Black Demon Lightning attacks, it will be unable to suppress the explosive backlash. Once it can no longer suppress it, the spiritual intelligence that the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning has painstakingly condensed will be shattered once again.
"It's time to make a move..."
"Boom boom boom!"
Deep within the sea of thunder, the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning lay coiled, its body dim and lifeless, its golden form now appearing ethereal. Faced with the terrifying backlash, it was powerless to resist.
As the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning lay resignedly in the depths of the sea of thunder, the surrounding Black Demon Lightning also ceased its onslaught, circling around the former and emitting low, mournful groans.
"Spirit gathering failed..."
Stepping through the void, Huo Xuan in a flash, gazing up at the enormous Golden Lightning Dragon, which was thousands of feet long. The dragon glanced at him with its extremely dim eyes but did not launch any attack.
"Ugh!"
Faced with Huo Xuan's intrusion, the Black Demon Lightning became enraged, roaring and charging forward. Huo Xuan, without any fancy moves, released his Little Demon to absorb all the Black Demon Lightning.
"Your immense power is the biggest obstacle to your gathering of spiritual energy. Let's make a deal: give me your power, and I will help you gather spiritual energy."
Huo Xuan's body hovered in front of the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning. His tiny body was like an ant, yet his calm voice caused a ripple to appear in the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning's dim dragon eyes.
"If you accept the deal, you will become the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning with sentience."
Approaching slowly, Huo Xuan gently placed his palm on a dragon scale between the eyes of the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning. Immediately, pink flames surged from his fingertips, and then he pulled hard. Instantly, brilliant golden lightning was forcibly extracted from the body of the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning. Faintly, the golden lightning gathered into a giant lightning dragon about a hundred feet long.
The extraction went surprisingly smoothly. Firstly, the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning was now extremely weak; secondly, it offered absolutely no resistance. It understood Huo Xuan's words; for the sake of intelligence, it was willing to relinquish its power. It was already weary of this aimless existence...
"Such terrifying destructive power..."
Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning did not resist, and after a short while, its power was almost completely drained by Huo Xuan.
Due to the loss of power, Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning's body has now transformed into a small golden dragon about ten feet long.
"Please wait a moment, the person who gathers your spiritual energy will be here soon."
