When Lei Dong stepped into the Demon Lightning Pool, all he could see were Black Lightning swirling around. From time to time, Lightning Energy crashed down, making the place terrifying beyond words!

For someone with an ultimate Lightning Attribute like Lei Dong, such an environment was simply perfect! Unlike people born with dual attributes, Lei Dong's body possessed only one attribute: lightning. Nothing else.

Although Lei Dong had felt helpless about this at first, after discovering the power of his Dou Skills, he could only say, "This is amazing!"

After looking around, Lei Dong decided to head deeper inside and take a look.

After walking for roughly half a day, Lei Dong discovered that the path ahead seemed endless.

At the same time, the power of the lightning in the area had grown increasingly pure.

Lei Dong gave up on continuing deeper. There was still plenty of time, and improving his strength first was the sensible choice.

The next moment, Lei Dong sat cross-legged in midair. Once he circulated his Cultivation Method, the lightning all around began streaming toward him.

The moment he began Guiding Lightning into the Body, Lei Dong instantly felt the might of the Black Demon Lightning! The tingling, numbing sensation combined with the greedy absorption of the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning within his body, constantly strengthening his entire body.

Lei Dong had practiced body refinement for a long time. Later, the Dou Skills he learned all required a powerful body, so he had never cultivated strength alone. He had tempered his physique at the same time.

Although the process had been painful and arduous, the toughness of Lei Dong's body had already surpassed that of Magical Beasts at the same level. His body's current hardness was completely comparable to that of a Rank 8 Magical Beast.

On top of that, he had learned a Defense Dou Skill. An ordinary Dou Zong Strong Person would be unable to harm him in the slightest, even after fighting him head-on.

"Zzz..."

"Rumble..."

Within the Demon Lightning Pool, there was nothing besides the rumbling and crackling of lightning. Time began to pass rapidly.

Elsewhere, within the Lei Realm.

Half a year had passed since Lei Dong entered the Demon Lightning Pool. After absorbing the Azure Lotus Core Flame, Huo Zhi had finally broken through to Dou Zong.

At that moment, Huo Zhi's strength began soaring once more. She successfully absorbed the second Sea Heart Flame into her body.

The process of absorbing an Exotic Flame was extremely painful, no less torturous than Lei Dong's Guiding Lightning into the Body.

Fortunately, the Exotic Flames Lei Dong had given her contained a trace of the suppressive power of Lei Dong's Nine Heavens Divine Lightning. Combined with the Flame Mantra, a Cultivation Method specifically designed for refining flames, the process went much more smoothly.

As for the materials needed to devour an Exotic Flame, they were child's play for the Lei Clan.

After absorbing the second Exotic Flame, Huo Zhi's strength directly reached Four Star Dou Zong. The Dou Qi within her body had also become even more vast!

Moreover, she had already reached this stage before. Although she had lost her strength, her speed upon retraining was more than twice as fast.

During these six months, Zi Yan had also successfully broken through to Dou Emperor with an abundant supply of Resources. Qing Lin was even more impressive, catching up from behind and reaching Peak Dou Wang.

Perhaps the speed at which the two girls improved had frightened the Young Clan Leader's Wife. As for why she was afraid, it was naturally because of her position.

Although she knew that even if they surpassed her, her position as the Young Clan Leader's Wife could not be shaken due to her seniority and their family alliance, there was always the fear of an unforeseen circumstance.

Especially Medusa, whose residence was next to hers. In Huo Zhi's eyes, that woman was simply overflowing with ambition!

What was most infuriating was that this woman possessed a charm that did not belong to her, along with an innate allure.

Huo Zhi knew her man all too well. Therefore, whether it was for her devotion to the Exotic Flames or to secure her position, she had to work hard before the wedding was officially held.

She was the daughter of the mighty Flame Clan. She did not want to lose to a snake, even if that snake's true form was a Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python!

After learning about the cultivation progress of the women, Lei Ying realized that all the women his son had brought back possessed astonishing talents! This finally made him stop believing that his son was merely a lecher.

The old father's gratified expression was unmistakable.

At the same time, the elders who had been dissatisfied because Lei Dong requested that the Lei Clan provide Resources for the women all fell silent.

After all, even among the younger generation of the Lei Clan, few could match the cultivation speed of the women.

Watching the future of the Lei Clan continue to grow, Lei Ying felt deeply gratified.

"Whoosh..."

Lei Dong no longer knew how long he had remained inside the Demon Lightning Pool. Cultivation knew no years. After absorbing Thunder for an unknown length of time, he had finally broken through to the One Star Dou Zun level.

After sensing the changes in his body, Lei Dong felt somewhat puzzled. I don't even know how long I've been here. I finally broke through!

After breaking through, Lei Dong clearly felt a slight restriction on his breathing and movements in this place.

At that moment, Lei Dong finally understood why those who had entered to cultivate said that one could not remain here for long.

This restriction had probably appeared the moment Lei Dong entered. However, the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning protected his body, so he had not noticed it at first.

After breaking through to Dou Zun, Lei Dong once again headed deeper inside. This time, he walked for an entire month.

Along the way, Lei Dong had not deliberately cultivated, yet after walking for a month, he actually broke through to the Peak One Star Dou Zun realm.

Although he had only advanced a few minor stages, the amount of Dou Qi required to rise from the early stage of One Star Dou Zun to Peak One Star Dou Zun was extraordinarily vast. That amount of Dou Qi would have been enough for a Dou Zong to advance several stars.

At the same time, however, the pressure had also gradually become more obvious after his breakthrough. Of course, this was also because Lei Dong had not deliberately used the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning to resist it.

After all, an environment filled with pressure was the best environment for breaking through.

When he truly could not walk any farther, Lei Dong began cultivating again. This time, he felt that the amount of lightning power he absorbed was even greater than before.

Lei Dong did not know what had happened, but his body now seemed like a bottomless pit. It seemed to never know satisfaction. Lei Dong could only say that his body was exactly like his personality!

But this feeling was truly exhilarating!

After that, Lei Dong repeated these dull days of cultivation, continuing for another full three years...

During those three years, Lei Dong's cultivation reached the Peak Five Star Dou Zun stage.

At that moment, Lei Dong's movement speed was incredibly slow, almost exactly the same as it had been when he was a Dou Zong.

Yet to maintain such speed in a place with such immense pressure was enough to show just how powerful Lei Dong truly was.
