Demon Lightning Pool (I)

A battle that had started because she had been despised continued until late into the night. After the battle ended, Medusa felt as though every bone in her body had been dismantled. And because she had been led astray afterward, her entire body was drenched in fragrant sweat.

"Whoa..."

"Stinking man, I despise you!"

Perhaps because they had become physically intimate, Medusa was no longer as afraid of Lei Dong as before. She had even begun to fight back verbally.

As she spoke, Medusa rubbed her delicate lips. After all, they had just contributed quite a bit of effort. Although she had rejected it deep down...

Looking at Medusa's stubborn expression, Lei Dong laughed. "As long as I don't despise you, that's enough."

Medusa snorted and did not argue further. After all, she did not want to experience another earth-shattering battle.

The night passed uneventfully.

Early the next morning, after kneading Medusa for a while, Lei Dong left and went to Huo Zhi's room.

Whether Medusa had submitted willingly or merely pretended to, Lei Dong did not care. He enjoyed the process, and that alone was enough to satisfy him.

Lei Dong was in a good mood when he arrived at Huo Zhi's residence. He saw that her strength had already shrunk to that of a One Star Dou Zong, which clearly meant that the replacement of her Cultivation Method was almost complete. However, Lei Dong had not expected the decline to be so severe!

One had to know that Huo Zhi's rank had nearly caught up to his before. Although there was still an enormous gap between their actual strength, it was still far better than her current state.

Lei Dong did not disturb her. He simply waited there until she finished cultivating.

Before he knew it, half a day had passed in the blink of an eye.

At that moment, Huo Zhi, whose strength had been compressed all the way down to Dou Emperor Peak, had also successfully reached the entry level of the "Flame Mantra."

Yes, that was right. She had merely reached the entry level, meaning that she had only just begun cultivating it. After all, mastering any Cultivation Method was not something that could be accomplished in a day or two.

After waking up and learning of her current strength, Huo Zhi felt a burst of bitterness in her heart. After all, the strength she had painstakingly cultivated had been completely lost overnight. How could she not feel heartbroken?

Lei Dong consoled her, saying, "Although you've dropped an entire realm, your foundation has now been compressed and stabilized tremendously. You should enter seclusion for the next few days. This is the 'Azure Lotus Core Flame.' Rest for a few days, and you'll be able to fuse with it. After that, begin cultivating in seclusion. As for the other Exotic Flames, wait until you've broken through to the Dou Zong realm before devouring them again. Remember, biting off more than you can chew! As for the other Exotic Flames, I'll have Mother keep them safe. Once you reach the Dou Zong realm, I'll give them to you one by one."

Huo Zhi nodded. She naturally understood what Lei Dong meant, then asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I'm going into seclusion in the Demon Lightning Pool!"

Lei Dong remembered that, in the original story, he had entered the Demon Lightning Pool and gone into seclusion for five years. He felt that, with his current strength, he would definitely need to stay in the Demon Lightning Pool for even longer!

Besides, he had long wanted to enter the Demon Lightning Pool and investigate it. Lei Dong had always been curious. In the original story, the various opportunities of the original Lei Dong had never appeared. Yet after he did appear, his strength had actually firmly suppressed the younger generation of every clan. Wasn't that all thanks to his five years of seclusion in the Demon Lightning Pool?

If not for Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er having the boost of destiny, Lei Dong would definitely have been the number one among the younger generation. The original Lei Dong could do it, so why couldn't he?

After giving Huo Zhi some instructions, Lei Dong left her room. Earlier, when he had left Medusa's place, he had also told her about it. Afterward, Lei Dong instructed Zi Yan and Qing Lin to cultivate diligently. He then handed all the Exotic Flames to Huo Yu. When Huo Yu saw the three Exotic Flames her son had taken out, she was completely stunned!

If Lei Dong had merely gone out once and been that lucky, Huo Yu obviously would not have believed it. But since Lei Dong refused to explain, what could she do?

Although Huo Yu did not pursue where Lei Dong had found these natural treasures, that did not mean she was not puzzled about why he had handed all three Exotic Flames to Huo Zhi!

"Dong'er, wouldn't giving me these three Exotic Flames to hand over to Zhi Er harm her? What are you trying to do!?"

One had to know that Exotic Flames were immensely powerful. For an ordinary person to safely devour even one was already remarkable. Although Huo Zhi was a member of the Flame Clan and possessed an innate fire affinity, that did not mean she could absorb several Exotic Flames, did it!?

After all, even someone as powerful as Yan Jin had only absorbed two Exotic Flames. That was thanks to his strength as an Eight Star Dou Sheng. Yet even though his flame-control technique was unrivaled under heaven, he did not dare consider absorbing a third. After all, Xiao Xuan, once known as the strongest beneath the Dou Di realm, had died because of the backlash from three Exotic Flames.

If not for the backlash of the Exotic Flames, then even if Xiao Xuan had fallen into the Soul Clan's ambush, being ambushed would not necessarily have meant his death. After all, it was ultimately the backlash of the Exotic Flames that caused him to fall. Moreover, Soul Emperor had been severely wounded in that battle. This showed that Xiao Xuan's reputation as the strongest beneath the Dou Di realm was not mere boasting.

Seeing his mother's confusion, Lei Dong explained, "Mother, don't worry. Although your son isn't exactly a good person, I wouldn't harm my future wife. The reason I gave her these Exotic Flames is because of the Cultivation Method she's practicing now."

Seeing Lei Dong's sincere expression and that he was not joking in the slightest, Huo Yu said hesitantly, "There is actually such a Cultivation Method in this world?"

Lei Dong curled his lips. "Mother, you don't even believe me?"

"Alright, alright." Seeing Lei Dong like that, Huo Yu hurriedly changed her words. "No... no. Mother was just a little curious."

Lei Dong waved his hand, looking somewhat impatient. He then turned and left. Seeing him leave so impatiently, Huo Yu pouted angrily. "Wasn't I doing this for your own good? You brat! You're already starting to find me annoying..."

After leaving Huo Yu's place, Lei Dong deliberately went to find his Father. Under his guidance, he finally arrived at the Demon Lightning Pool.

The Demon Lightning Pool was the sacred cultivation ground for the younger generation of the Lei Clan, so it was naturally heavily guarded. Anyone else who wanted to enter had to wait for the designated time each year. But who was Lei Dong? He was the Crown Prince of the Lei Clan. If he did not even have this much authority, he would truly be a failure.

When Lei Ying arrived at the Demon Lightning Pool's guard post, he said, "Open the entrance."

Several Lei Clan Half-Saint Elders guarding the place immediately opened the entrance to the Demon Lightning Pool after hearing Lei Ying's command.

The moment the entrance opened, Lei Dong felt the "Nine Heavens Divine Lightning" within his body stir! Clearly, it was very interested in the lightning within. Lei Dong himself was also especially eager to enter!

Lei Dong then turned around and bowed to Lei Ying. "Father, I'm going in."

Lei Ying nodded. "Son, although this is a sacred cultivation ground, it is also filled with danger. You must be especially careful."

The Demon Lightning Pool had once been developed by the ancestors of the Lei Clan. Although it could increase the cultivation speed of exceptionally talented members of the younger generation, unknown dangers also existed within. It was just that no one had discovered them until now!
