They brought the puppets to the Void Lightning Pool to temper them with its immense Thunder Force, where Wei Yang recognized the site as an ideal place for his cultivation.

• Wei Yang and Xiao Yan completed the refinement of the Dragon Kings and named their puppets Northern King and Southern King.
• They judged the puppets could rival Three-Star Dou Sheng experts and concluded that stronger Thunder Force could raise their strength further.
• Wei Yang and Xiao Yan traveled through the void with the puppets and found the Void Lightning Pool Zi Yan had mentioned.
• The group entered the lightning pool, where bolts of lightning scattered away from them.
• Wei Yang welcomed the dense Thunder Force, while Xiao Yan resolved to obtain the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame so he would not fall behind.

Wei Yang and Xiao Yan reached the depths of the Void Lightning Pool, where they found an immense region of Black Demonic Lightning. Wei Yang sent Northern King to absorb it, and after the lightning unleashed a powerful barrage, Northern King endured the assault and began devouring its force.

• Wei Yang and Xiao Yan reached the Black Demonic Lightning Pool and separated to choose places along its edge.
• Wei Yang observed the lightning for nearly half an hour, then ordered Northern King to enter the pool.
• Northern King absorbed a bolt of Black Demonic Lightning, and Wei Yang sensed its power merging into the puppet's body.
• More Black Demonic Lightning gathered around Northern King, so Wei Yang had it sit and accept the lightning's tempering.
• The surrounding bolts struck Northern King and blasted it thousands of zhang away, but it endured the attack and rapidly absorbed the invading Thunder Force.

Wei Yang studied the void-devouring property of a Nihility Devouring Flame Sub-Flame and fused it with his Power of Life and Death to create a powerful new technique. The Northern King and Southern King continued growing stronger as they absorbed Black Demonic Lightning.

• The Northern King and Southern King devoured Black Demonic Lightning and steadily strengthened, while Wei Yang estimated the Northern King could reach Four-star within half a month.

Wei Yang turned a weakened Nihility Devouring Flame Sub-Flame into a bloodline flame for the Northern King, transforming the puppet with Hou bloodline and Black Demonic Lightning. He discovered that consuming the lightning strengthened his own physique and Dou Qi, and he eyed the vast storm as a source of further growth.

• Wei Yang shattered the damaged Nihility Devouring Flame Sub-Flame and sent its sparks into the Northern King, where his bloodline absorbed them.
• The Northern King's Hou and Ancient Dragon Royal Family bloodlines fused with the Sub-Flame and Black Demonic Lightning, producing powerful black flames, lightning, scales, and claws.

Wei Yang and Xiao Yan spent a month tempering themselves and their puppets in the Void Lightning Pool, where the Southern King reached its limit at Four-Star Peak strength. Xiao Yan left to seek a faster way to raise his soul realm before the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame appeared, and told Wei Yang he planned to target a Soul Hall branch hall for its collected Soul Origin.

• Wei Yang, Xiao Yan, and their puppets devoured Black Demonic Lightning in the Void Lightning Pool for a month.

• Wei Yang warned Xiao Yan that absorbing Soul Origin was not the proper path and might cause adverse effects, and Xiao Yan acknowledged the risk.

Wei Yang and Xiao Yan accepted the risks of pursuing rapid strength, and Xiao Yan left with the Southern King and two bottles of essence blood. After another hundred days of cultivation in the Void Lightning Pool, Wei Yang reached the Five Star Mid Stage and the Northern King grew to the Five-Star Peak, leaving Wei Yang amazed by the puppet’s power and its bloodline connection to him.

• Xiao Yan explained that he planned to temper and absorb Soul Origins to strengthen his soul before facing the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, and Wei Yang accepted his decision.
