They've had their fun. Now it's my turn.

Gazing at the Seven-Colored Thundercloud in the sky, the alchemist surnamed Wang was already in tears, kneeling in mid-air.

Seven-Colored Pill Tribulation Lightning!

It's actually seven colors! The teacher's strength is terrifying! Inside the courtyard, Heavenly Flame Venerable glanced at the distorted areas in the sky that were imperceptible to the naked eye and frowned.

There was an extremely subtle aura there. If it hadn't been for some reason revealing even a tiny bit of its aura, even he probably wouldn't have been able to detect it. Hidden there was a super strong person who had reached the Dou Zun Peak, and even compressed Dou Qi to enter the Ninth Revolution Dou Zun! In the Pill Domain, those with such strength were probably only the legendary Pill Tower Three Giants! However, the Pill Danta has always been friendly to high-level alchemists, and Xiao Yuan is a young talent, so it's not too surprising that the three giants came out to win him over.

As for whether this giant would be detrimental to Xiao Yuan, Heavenly Flame Venerable was not worried.

Because worrying is useless. Dou Zun expert of that level is already on a completely different level from an ordinary Dou Zun. Since you can't beat them anyway, there's no need to worry.

"Seven-Colored Pill Tribulation Lightning."

Xiao Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the Seven-Colored Thundercloud in the sky, feeling somewhat excited.

The quality of this pill completely exceeded his expectations! This is absolutely the best pill he has ever refined!

"Now you can be considered to have completed your apprenticeship."

Xiao Yan didn't speak, but the Bone White Flame in his eyes flickered slightly, and Yao Lao's voice echoed in Xiao Yuan's mind.

Upon hearing this, even someone as composed as Xiao Yuan couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions—excitement, pride, gratitude, and satisfaction.

Although his cultivation time was not actually very long, to this day, he had only been cultivating for about five years. For ordinary people, it would be absurd to raise their alchemy skills to the Eighth-Tier in five years.

But in the past five years, apart from the time he could rest when he was with beautiful women, he was constantly busy, practicing Dou Technique, alchemy, and Dou Qi. It was almost a three-point line.

Now, even on the entire Douqi Continent, his alchemy skills have reached the pinnacle. Those stronger than him are nothing more than those Ninth Grade Alchemist who no longer travel on the continent.

As for Eighth Grade Alchemist, there are certainly those stronger than him, but to say that they are so powerful that he can be forced to lie on his back? I'm afraid no one can do that.

With the replenishment from the Soul Nourishing Pearl, Xiao Yuan's spirit was slightly tired, but his soul was still full of vitality.

Looking at the Seven-Colored Thundercloud in the sky that were brewing thunder, Xiao Yuan's mouth almost stretched to his ears in a wide grin.

If the puppets could absorb all of this massive amount of pill lightning, how awesome would that be! Pill lightning increases in quality with the pills. Even ordinary Dou Zun expert wouldn't dare to underestimate this kind of Seven-Colored Thundercloud, and even the Heavenly Flame Venerable would have to be careful.

But Xiao Yuan doesn't need to go through all that trouble.

He raised his head and looked at the violently churning thunderclouds in the sky, where brilliant lightning crackled and pierced the heavens, illuminating the world as if it were daytime. He then waved his hand.

Five high-ranking members of the Wind and Thunder North Pavilion appeared beside him.

They're all good people! Looking at the five figures with a metallic sheen emanating from them, Xiao Yuan's already good mood became even more wonderful.

The predecessor who devised the method to refine the Tian Yao Kui was truly a person of extraordinary talent, who was able to enable the Demon Puppet to improve its quality by absorbing pill lightning.

"It's up to you now."

Like the person in charge of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, Xiao Yuan solemnly issued orders to the five high-ranking members of the Wind and Thunder North Pavilion. Then, he crossed his arms, looked up at the sky, and waited for the flowers to bloom.

In the sky, the Seven-Colored Thundercloud churned more and more violently, with deep rumbles of thunder echoing continuously, and enormous and magnificent lightning bolts darting around within the clouds.

"Laugh!"

As the thunderclouds churned, they suddenly contracted, and then a seven-colored bolt of lightning, like a giant python, burst forth from the clouds, tearing through space with a terrifying hissing sound, and fell toward the Black Demon Cauldron in front of Xiao Yuan.

However, five silver figures flew out simultaneously, and to everyone's puzzled gaze, they crashed directly into the powerful lightning bolt.

"Well"

Upon seeing this, a chorus of sighs arose from the surrounding crowd. After all, judging from the five puppets, they were only at the Dou Zong level. They had thought that Heavenly Flame Venerable would step in to resolve the Dan Lei, but unexpectedly, this powerful Eighth Grade Alchemist had only sent out five Dou Zong- level puppets. "These puppets are absorbing the power of lightning?!"

However, some sharp-eyed people in the crowd immediately discovered the secret and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

As everyone's gaze fell upon the five silver figures, which shone even brighter after being struck by lightning, they suddenly realized. "No wonder this master is so confident; he possesses such extraordinary puppets!"

"Hehe, the little guy has quite a few treasures. I did see a puppet that absorbs the power of lightning in an Ancient Ruins back then, but unfortunately, it was destroyed in the struggle."

Inside the spatial interlayer, the graceful, mature figure had regained some composure. Looking at the five puppets summoned by Xiao Yuan, she chuckled softly to herself.

"This kid knows how to play. This level of pill lightning is enough to give these five puppets a significant boost, and it's even very likely that their combat power will all reach the Dou Zun level!"

Heavenly Flame Venerable looked at the five Demon Puppet in the sky, stroked his beard, and said with a smile.

The Xiao Yi Xian, who had been a little worried, was now completely relieved. She turned her gaze to the handsome profile of the man looking at the sky, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

Xiao Yuan's growth rate always amazed her.

Cai Lin, Yun Yun, Tang Huo'er were all either covering their full chests or their rosy lips, their faces filled with disbelief.

Before coming to Central State, Xiao Yuan's alchemy skills were still at the seventh rank. However, after arriving in Central State, he made rapid progress, not only advancing to the Eighth-Tier but also refining a pill with Seven-Colored Pill Tribulation Lightning! It should be noted that even among the many elders of the Danta, there are probably very few who can refine pills of this level.

Tang Huo'er was the most excited one among them.

She naturally knew what Xiao Yuan's terrifying alchemy skills meant for Burning Flame Valley.

The key to the revival of Burning Flame Valley lies with Xiao Yuan!

Looking at Xiao Yuan's face, which had long since shed its immaturity and become mature yet still sharp, Yun Yun was naturally quite moved.

Looking back, Xiao Yuan was just a boy who followed her around calling her "sister." Now, he stands at the pinnacle of the continent, with combat power comparable to Dou Zun. As an alchemist, he has even made Dou Zun expert willingly serve as his henchmen.

What was Nalan Yanran thinking back then? For some reason, Yun Yun suddenly thought of her personal disciple.

Cai Lin looked at the incomparably impressive young man, and a gentle look appeared in her eyes.

She was the queen of the Snake-People Tribe, burdened with a heavy mission, and therefore never imagined that one day she would submit to a human who dared to take advantage of her when he was only at the Dou Shi level.

This man is now incredibly strong; his combat prowess and alchemy skills are among the most outstanding of his peers.

Undeniably, such outstanding individuals are truly attractive.

At least she enjoyed being by his side.

"Boom! Boom!"

As everyone's thoughts raced, dazzling lightning, like a roaring dragon across the sky, raged and danced, bringing with it brilliant lightning bolts, sweeping down from the heavens and earth, finally striking the bodies of the five Di Yao Kui in mid-air.

Brilliant lightning exploded on the puppets' bodies, transforming into countless tiny electric snakes that continuously burrowed into their bodies along their skin, rapidly strengthening their bones and already withered flesh.

From a distance, the Di Yao Kui looked like five thunder gods, hovering in the sky. Within a ten-foot radius around it, lightning flashed everywhere. The terrifying aura made people's scalps tingle.

Inside the room, Xiao Yuan stood there calmly with his arms crossed. The five Di Yao Kui of the Wind and Thunder North Pavilion had taken all the seven-colored lightning bolts that were shot at him, which made him extremely relaxed and did not require him to exert any effort to deal with the troublesome pill lightning.

Above the sky, thunder rumbled incessantly, and the churning Seven-Colored Thundercloud, like a lightning-generating machine, continuously spewed out numerous increasingly powerful and dazzling bolts of lightning, which then struck the Di Yao Kui's body.

The turmoil of the Seven-Colored Thundercloud lasted for nearly half an hour before gradually subsiding. During this time, hundreds of extremely powerful bolts of lightning streaked out from the thunderclouds. Fortunately, these lightning bolts did not cause any damage to the Di Yao Kui. Instead, they caused large patches of golden light to appear on their bodies, which were covered in brilliant silver. Fei Tian, in particular, was almost completely enveloped in golden light. Clearly, Fei Tian, Demon Puppet, could now be called Tian Yao Kui! "Truly worthy of the Seven-Colored Pill Tribulation Lightning!"

Xiao Yuan looked at the transformed Di Yao Kui with some satisfaction, a smile appearing on his face.

Four Peak Dou Zong and one puppet who has advanced to Dou Zun —this harvest is indeed quite impressive.

These four puppets, all at the Peak Dou Zong, possess the advantage of being insensitive to pain and having thick skin. Each of them could handle any one of the Thousand-Hundred Two Elders they had met at the Jia Nan Academy. If the four puppets joined forces, they could even delay Tian Shuangzi for a while.

As Xiao Yuan sighed, the Seven-Colored Thundercloud in the sky seemed to be slightly angry because the lightning had been repeatedly absorbed by the Di Yao Kui. The clouds churned and gathered all the remaining energy, causing the thunderclouds to shrink considerably.

Huh? Xiao Yuan stared at the terrifying offensive brewing high in the sky, a look of astonishment on his face.

Not a buddy? Can't take a joke, huh?

"Hey, this kid's really something, he's angered Danlei!"

Heavenly Flame Venerable smiled, but showed no intention of making a move.

There's no need for that. Unless you can unleash Black Demon Lightning, ordinary Pill Lightning poses no threat whatsoever to those puppets that absorb lightning power.

But what is Black Demon Lightning? It's a terrifying existence that can only be attracted by Rank 9 Pill. Given the energy level of the Seven-Colored Thundercloud, it's simply impossible to achieve that.

As thunderclouds gathered, the energy of this world suddenly became extremely turbulent, and terrifying thunderous power permeated the heavens and earth, causing the Dou Qi within people's bodies to become somewhat sluggish.

Boom boom boom boom!

Not long after the thunderclouds condensed, they finally began to unleash their terrifying destructive power. Within the massive cloud layer, a nearly black bolt of lightning, carrying destructive power, was brewing.

"Ah?"

Heavenly Flame Venerable's eyes widened.

Isn't this color wrong?

"Could this be the Black Demon Lightning?"

A trembling voice rang out from the surrounding crowd.

"It can't be Black Demon Lightning. I'm familiar with that. This thing in the sky is at most an approximation of Black Demon Lightning. It's still quite different from the real Black Demon Lightning."

Xiao Yuan smiled and explained to Xiao Yan, then a jet-black Lightning Mark appeared between his brows.

"The puppet is having fun, but I'm not!"

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yuan retrieved the puppet. The black lightning, having lost its target, hesitated for a moment before locking onto Xiao Yuan, the culprit! Swoosh! The black lightning practically tore through space and time, crashing towards Xiao Yuan.

"Demon Lightning Body!"

Xiao Yuan spoke softly, and then blue and black lightning appeared on his body.

The moment his foot landed, he was already in mid-air, throwing a punch at the dark lightning.

"Boom!"

The earth-shattering thunder roared, and the majestic power of the heavens made the surrounding atmosphere heavy. Those who were slightly weaker turned pale at this moment.

Under the relentless bombardment of this thunder, Xiao Yuan's entire body was instantly charred black, and he plummeted to the ground. The space around him was already riddled with dark Space Rift from the lightning strikes. "Foolish!"

Seeing this, everyone immediately felt that this master must have lost his mind to personally confront Dan Lei head-on.

"Teacher!"

When the alchemist Wang Lao saw this scene, his eyes widened in horror, and he felt as if the sky had collapsed.

"What's the panic? Do you think this kid looks like a fool going to his death?"

Seeing the old man, who was quite old, crying his eyes out and calling a young man so young that he could be the old man's grandson by who knows how many generations, Heavenly Flame Venerable found it hard to contain himself and couldn't help but gently reprimand him.

"Ah?"

He snapped out of his daze and looked up at the sky.

Xiao Yuan's figure was quickly stabilized, and his aura suddenly became terrifying. His youthful and arrogant laughter resounded throughout the heavens and earth. "Again, again!"

"Oh my god!"

Upon hearing this, many people around refocused their attention. They saw that the falling figure was actually rising against the backdrop of terrifying black lightning, and an even purer and more terrifying aura of destruction was emanating from its body!

The next moment, a burst of blue and black lightning erupted, carrying that figure. After strangely absorbing the dark lightning, it actually rushed directly into the thundercloud!
