Three Puppets' Improvement
Looking around, all that could be seen was a dazzling silver world. The silver was not the cold hardness of ordinary metal, but rather the radiance of billions of stars shattered and scattered in the void, outlining the unique vastness and mystery of this space.
Suddenly, a thick bolt of lightning ripped through the silver light, like Giant Dragon that had been dormant for millennia suddenly awakening, roaring wildly with a world-destroying aura.
Immediately following, countless bolts of lightning arrived one after another, some like silver snakes dancing wildly, others like giant pillars supporting the sky. They intertwined and collided in the void, erupting with a deafening roar of thunder.
This thunder was not a dull echo of the mortal world, but rather like the roar of God, resounding endlessly in this boundless void, making the space itself seem to tremble slightly.
Such a strange scene of converging thunder and silvery light filling the sky could only exist in this Void Space free from the constraints of heaven and earth.
At that moment, somewhere in this place where thunder gathered, a bolt of lightning exploded.
"Sizzle!"
As beings of the Thunder, they have always been the ones who annihilate everything and wield divine punishment. Now, someone dares to challenge their majesty as Thunder. This is a great insult to them as beings of the Thunder.
Suddenly enraged, the Silver Lightning abandoned its previous chaotic movement and, like an enraged silver snake, abruptly changed direction with a piercing crackling sound, slashing fiercely at the Flame Vortex between Lin Ming's hands!
"Good timing!"
Lin Ming was not surprised but rather pleased, his eyes sharp.
Steadily controlling the Flame Vortex, just as the lightning was about to strike, Lin Ming immediately manipulated the vortex, causing its rotation speed to increase dramatically and its suction force to surge!
"Puff!"
With a muffled thud, the raging Silver Lightning was actually swallowed up by the Flame Vortex!
The lightning struck his body, and an indescribable burst of violent energy exploded instantly!
The feeling was like swallowing a red-hot iron, or like countless steel needles piercing through his meridians! Even with the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame as a "filter" and "refining furnace," the impact still made Lin Ming's body tremble violently, his face flushed, and the veins on his forehead throbbed slightly.
"Refine it for me!"
Clenching his teeth, Lin Ming hardened his heart and fully activated his Cultivation Method, urging the Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame. Inside the Flame Vortex enveloping the lightning, a brilliant purple-red light shone brightly. Terrifying high temperatures and destructive intent intertwined, frantically burning and disintegrating the Silver Lightning.
"Sizzle... crackle..."
Subtle popping sounds emanated from the Flame Vortex; those were the sounds of lightning power being forcibly refined.
Under the tempering of the Heavenly Flames, the silver lightning melted like ice and snow, eliminating and annihilating the destructive factors it contained, leaving behind the most primordial, purest Energy Liquid, which carried a trace of strange vitality!
These Energy Liquid have a gentle, silvery-white color, no longer violent, but instead exuding a sense of vitality and pure power.
Guided by the Flame Vortex, they flowed like streams into rivers, slowly merging into Lin Ming's meridians, where they were rapidly absorbed and assimilated by his Cultivation Method.
An indescribable feeling of comfort replaced the initial excruciating pain, spreading throughout my body.
Lin Ming could clearly feel that his Dou Qi was growing and condensing at a visible speed! Wherever the silver Energy Liquid passed, his meridians seemed to receive a subtle nourishment and expansion. Even the potential hidden deep within his flesh and blood that he had not been able to fully unleash when he cultivated the Purple Lightning Radiant Body Technique in his early years seemed to be quietly awakening under the stimulation of this life-giving thunder energy, and his physical strength was gradually increasing!
"It really works! And the effect is surprisingly good!"
Sensing this significant change, Lin Ming's spirits lifted, and his last trace of worry vanished. Thus, no longer content with Thunder Induction one by one, Lin Ming began to attempt to simultaneously guide and refine two, or even three, bolts of lightning!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
More and more silver lightning snakes were attracted and fearlessly charged into the two Flame Vortex that seemed capable of devouring everything.
Lin Ming's seated figure was completely enveloped in dazzling silver light and purplish-red flames. From the outside, all that could be seen was an Energy Cocoon that constantly flickered with lightning and fire, from which increasingly stronger auras emanated.
The refining process is undoubtedly a mix of pain and pleasure. Each time lightning enters the body, it is accompanied by intense impact and burning pain, requiring strong willpower to endure and precise control of the Heavenly Flames for refining. But after each successful refining, the feedback brought by the increase in cultivation, the solidification of Dou Qi, and the strengthening of the physical body is so intoxicating.
Xiao Yi Xian and Elder Yao Protector on the side, their eyes filled with astonishment as they watched Lin Ming's crazy and audacious actions.
Especially Elder Yao, with his rich experience, knew how dangerous and difficult it was to directly refine the void lightning. One careless move could result in Thunder Induction. But Lin Ming, with his Heavenly Flames and powerful soul control, managed to turn this dangerous place into a blessed land for cultivation.
"Lin Ming's temperament, talent, and courage are all top-notch. His future achievements are limitless..." Elder Yao stroked his beard and sighed, his tone full of satisfaction and expectation.
Xiao Yi Xian's cool eyes were fixed on the cocoon of light interwoven with lightning and fire, a slight, almost imperceptible, gentle smile curving her lips. She could feel Lin Ming's aura steadily increasing, which made her genuinely happy.
Time slipped away silently in this eternal world of thunder.
Lin Ming was completely immersed in this frenzied cultivation. His cultivation level was originally at the Peak Four-Star Dou Ancestor, and now, under the refinement of lightning, it has also increased.
Five days passed, and with a faint sound from within his body, the barrier that had been blocking him for so long was instantly swept away by the surging torrent of Dou Qi!
Five-Star Dou Ancestor!
Having successfully broken through, Lin Ming did not stop. Feeling the even more powerful Dou Qi within his body and his physical body, which was far from reaching its limit, he actually accelerated his Thunder Induction refining process.
More lightning was drawn in, and the purplish-red Flame Vortex seemed to transform into two ceaseless electromagnetic fields, frantically devouring and refining the surrounding energy.
A faint silver sheen began to appear on Lin Ming's body surface. This was a change that occurred after his body absorbed too much lightning essence. His flesh, bones, and meridians were undergoing a profound tempering and rebirth.
The foundation laid by the Purple Lightning Radiant Body Technique he Cultivation Method in his early years has been fully unleashed, and his physical strength is steadily advancing towards a level comparable to Dou Wang, or even approaching the Dou Emperor!
While Lin Ming was engrossed in his cultivation, the evolution of the three Heavenly Demon Puppet continued unabated.
As the earliest Earth Demon Puppet to be refined, Puppet One had the weakest foundation. However, under the continuous nourishment of lightning here, the pale golden light on its entire body became deeper and more dazzling at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a star appearing in the night sky.
The improvements for Ice Puppet and Frost Puppet are even more pronounced.
The Ice Puppet's icy golden body grew increasingly deep and restrained in color, and the chilling aura it emitted even began to be mixed with wisps of fine silver lightning. Its aura became increasingly terrifying, surpassing the realm of Five-Star Dou Venerate and advancing towards the seven-star level, or even higher.
The pale gold ring around the Frost Puppet's eye sockets was slowly but steadily spreading outwards. Now, it was half gold and half silver, but anyone could sense that it was not far from reaching the realm of a fully golden Heavenly Demon Puppet.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
On this day, Lin Ming, who had been sitting cross-legged like an old monk in meditation, suddenly experienced a violent fluctuation in the cocoon of lightning and fire around his body. Then, like a whale sucking in water, he absorbed it all into his body!
His tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open, and a tangible arc of silver lightning flashed within them. A powerful aura, several times stronger than it had been half a month ago, swept out from his body like a storm!
Peak of Five-Star Dou Ancestor!
In just half a month, with the help of this Void Lightning Pool, Lin Ming not only broke through to the Five-Star Dou Ancestor, but also pushed this realm to its peak!
Moreover, Lin Ming could clearly feel that the Dou Qi within his body had become extremely refined and pure, without any sense of emptiness caused by the rapid improvement.
More importantly, Lin Ming discovered that his physical strength had firmly entered the ranks of those comparable to Dou Emperor Expert! With this physical body alone, he was confident that he could withstand attacks from ordinary low-level Dou Zong without suffering any damage!
However, before Lin Ming could fully recover from the joy of his sudden increase in strength—
"Buzz!!!"
Beside him, the Puppet One that had been silently absorbing the lightning suddenly burst forth with a dazzling golden light! The golden light was so brilliant that it was as if a second sun had risen in the silver lightning pool, turning the Silver Lightning within a radius of dozens of feet around it golden!
An incomparably powerful aura, like Fierce Beasts had slumbered for countless years suddenly awakening, burst forth from the Puppet One's body! This aura was filled with the coldness of metal and the domineering power of thunder, and its strength had reached the level of Five-Star Dou Venerate, almost on par with the Ice Puppet that had just been successfully refined!
The Puppet One, originally a pale gold, has now undergone a complete transformation! Its body has turned into a deep and dazzling dark gold, Radiant Flow and incredibly sturdy. It floats there silently, like a war god clad in golden armor, radiating a chilling aura.
"Hahaha! Good! Good! Puppet One has succeeded too!"
Sensing the powerful aura of Puppet One, which was no less than that of Ice Puppet, Lin Ming was first stunned, then couldn't help but burst into laughter, his joy and excitement beyond words.
Two weeks of intensive study yielded results far exceeding expectations!
His strength soared to the peak of the Five-Star Dou Ancestor, and his physical body was comparable to that of Dou Emperor!
His three Heavenly Demon Puppet are as follows Ice Puppet's strength is unfathomable, already surpassing Five-Star Dou Venerate; Puppet One has successfully evolved into the Gold Heavenly Demon Puppet, the limit of the material used in this body, and is comparable to Five-Star Dou Venerate.
Even the weakest of the previous Frost Puppet has now reached the point where most of its body is covered in light gold, and its whole body is shining with golden light. Only its feet have not yet completely turned into gold. Its aura is stable at the Peak Three-Star Dou Venerate. It is only one step away from becoming a fully Gold Heavenly Demon Puppet!
Such a lineup is truly luxurious!
Lin Ming's gaze swept intensely over the three powerful Puppet before him, and as he felt the surging power within his body, a surge of heroic ambition welled up within him.
The Void Lightning Pool is indeed a blessed land! This cultivation journey has been worthwhile!
