Nine Profound Golden Lightning

Mang Tianchi patted Xiao Ming on the shoulder, looking quite forthright, and said:

"Since you're a student of the Jia Nan Academy, there's no need to explain our relationship. Su Qian keeps sending me messages, asking me to take good care of you after we meet. But now, I think you're the one taking care of me."

At this point, Mang Tianchi glanced at the Black Demonic Lightning Pool and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Haha, that's right. Now that you've finished your cultivation, could you do me a favor before you leave?"

"..."

Xiao Ming was speechless. When other elders met with younger people, they would either give them gifts or offer guidance on cultivation. Why was it that he, the younger generation, was being asked for help?

Ah, he is Peak Three-Star Dou Sheng, while Mang Tianchi is only at the Peak Dou Zun. The difference is too great.

Okay, that's all for now.

"Dean, you want to capture that Black Demonic Lightning, right?" Xiao Ming also glanced at the Black Thunder Pool, which was much thinner than it had been a month ago.

"That's right. My Thunder Clan has a Secret Technique that can absorb Thunder. If I had the Black Demonic Lightning here, I should be able to break through to the Half-Saint," Mang Tianchi said quite frankly.

"Are you sure it's okay? The Black Demonic Lightning here is different from ordinary Black Demonic Lightning. It's much more powerful, and it even has some intelligence. It's not so easy to absorb."

"No problem!"

"All right."

Seeing Mang Tianchi's confident demeanor, Xiao Ming didn't hesitate. Mang Tianchi was much older than him, had traveled extensively, and should have more experience than him; he probably wouldn't risk his life.

Since that's the case, he'll help with this small favor; it's really just a matter of waving his hand.

How many Black Demonic Lightning do you need?

"Help me catch ten more. The absorption efficiency of that Secret Technique is a bit low. If possible, it would be best to catch more."

Xiao Ming nodded, then waved his hand, causing a Spatial Fluctuation.

Rumble!

More than a dozen enormous, chillingly black bolts of Thunder flashed towards us!

"Are you kidding me?!"

The sudden turn of events caused Mang Tianchi to instinctively take three steps back.

Afterwards, he saw that the several Thunder carrying Aura destruction were easily compressed into a Lightning Bead by Xiao Ming.

With a gleam in his eyes, Mang Tianchi rubbed his hands together and leaned closer again.

"Hehehe, Xiao Ming, thank you."

"You're welcome." Xiao Ming tossed the compressed Lightning Beads to Mang Tianchi. He wanted to compress a few more, as the Lightning Beads were made using a special method.

With Xiao Ming's current strength, doing this kind of thing is still quite easy.

Even Half-Saint couldn't withstand the power of such Lightning Bead. Xiao Ming hadn't expected this. Now, he wanted to prepare a few more. These things were valuable whether given as gifts or kept as rewards for younger generations, so having a few extra wouldn't hurt.

Ignoring the cheerful Mang Tianchi beside him, Xiao Ming began to compress the nearby Thunder Pool space.

As the Thunder Snake Dance, Xiao Ming gathered countless Lightning Bead around his body.

Rumble!

Within the Thunder Pool, a violent upheaval seemed to erupt among the Thunder, with countless Thunder scattering and exploding in all directions. Whether it was the ordinary Thunder on the outer perimeter or the Black Demonic Lightning deep within, everything instantly went berserk and began to twist and undulate irregularly.

The bolts of Thunder twisted and turned without any pattern, and even Xiao Ming could no longer escape it, being struck squarely by countless Thunder. Fortunately, although Xiao Ming looked fair and delicate, he was actually tough and resilient.

Mang Tianchi, who was next to Xiao Ming, was just that lucky.

"Phew~"

He exhaled a puff of white smoke. Mang Tianchi's deep blue robe was tattered, his long hair stood on end, and his face was truly dark, making him look rather disheveled.

"No way! What's wrong with this Void Thunder Pool? Why is it suddenly erupting like this?"

Mang Tianchi cursed and swore.

Xiao Ming stopped drawing out the Thunder, put away the dozen or so Lightning Beads, and looked into the depths of the Thunder Pool.

Where Xiao Ming's gaze fell, deep within the Black Demonic Lightning, a sliver of golden light suddenly appeared. Faintly visible was a colossal dragon, a thousand feet long, its entire body seemingly cast in gold, which was the one that had stirred up this riot.

Wherever the Thunder Dragon passed, the densely packed Black Demonic Lightning, each ten feet or more in diameter, all bowed their heads, like kings among thunderbolts, and the Black Demonic Lightning were subjects who submitted to the emperor.

"This is... Nine Profound Golden Lightning! How did we manage to provoke this thing? It's comparable to Seven Star Dou Sheng..."

Upon seeing Thunder Dragon, Xiao Ming's expression changed slightly. If it were Six Star Dou Sheng, he might be able to put up a fight with all his skills, but he had never even considered a Seven Star Dou Sheng.

Seven-Star is already High-grade Dou Sheng, and is incomparable to Six Star Dou Sheng.

This is the terrifying Thunder that can only be attracted when refining a High-grade Pill like Grade Nine Golden Pill elixir. Even an ordinary Dou Sheng Expert would be turned to ashes in an instant before it.

If Thunder were ranked similarly to Thunder Heavenly Flames, the Nine Profound Golden Lightning would be comparable to the Nihility Devouring Flame and the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

Xiao Ming, who hadn't even obtained the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame yet, dared not face such a terrifying thing directly. He immediately turned and ran.

After running two steps, Xiao Ming remembered that there was a Dean nearby, so he quickly reached out and grabbed the Mang Tianchi.

He transformed into a streak of light and flew away.

In the far distance behind, a faintly visible, winding dragon, its eyes holding only a faint spirituality, its body covered in fine Golden Lightning, each bolt possessing the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.

Moo!

Suddenly, the Thunder Dragon roared to the sky, and immediately the Thunder outburst intensified. Countless bolts of Black Demonic Lightning, each a hundred feet in size, quickly followed, like an elite army, encircling the Thunder dragon.

"Are you kidding me?! How can there be something like this here?!"

Feeling the almost suffocating Golden Thunder Dragon, Mang Tianchi disregarded how unseemly it was to be lifted up by Xiao Ming and hurriedly shouted.

"Faster! Faster!"

Ignoring the roar of the Thunder Dragon behind him, Xiao Ming charged forward headlong, his body surging with a vast torrent of Dou Qi that burst forth and blasted open the space.

In an instant, Xiao Ming's speed increased even further, and the silver-white Thunder on both sides flashed past Mang Tianchi's eyes, demonstrating Xiao Ming's incredible speed.

Before long, Xiao Ming and his companion rushed out of the Void Thunder Pool.

Having broken free of the Thunder Pool, Xiao Ming caught his breath and released the person in his arms.

After being put down, Mang Tianchi still had a lingering fear on his face. He couldn't believe that there was such a creature in the Thunder Pool. If Xiao Ming hadn't been there, he probably wouldn't have been able to get out this time.

"Laugh!"

Suddenly, a whooshing sound rushed in from afar, followed by a loud voice. "Xiao Ming, are you alright?"

"Huh? They're actually from the Ancient Void Dragon?"

Upon seeing the approaching figure, Mang Tianchi, regaining his senses, was slightly taken aback, then glanced at Xiao Ming with surprise.

It was rather strange that Xiao Ming, an ordinary human, would be associated with the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. After all, the Ancient Void Dragons were just as arrogant as the Ancient Imperial Clans, and perhaps even more so. It wasn't so easy for them to be associated with them.
