Treasures on the Puppets

After taking down all the puppets, Lei Qi's dou qi was nearly depleted.

Without delay, he hurriedly began cultivating.

Crackle, crackle.

The power of lightning continuously filled his body at that moment.

After a battle, abundant dou qi poured into his body. The sensation was simply incredible.

A day passed. Aside from eating some dry rations midway through, he spent the entire time cultivating and recovering.

His intention of heading straight to the next floor had also faded considerably. Before breaking through to the Grand Dou Master realm, Lei Qi felt it was better to play it safe.

In any case, he had nearly ten years to cultivate here to his heart's content, so there was no need to rush. Besides, for members of Dou Di clans, once the power of their bloodline began to take effect, their cultivation would shoot upward at a breathtaking pace.

Another three months passed, and through continuous battles, Lei Qi finally raised his cultivation to the Grand Dou Master realm.

At the Grand Dou Master realm, one could form dou qi into armor, release dou qi beyond the body, and condense it into a solid, diamond-shaped form.

At the Dou Spirit realm, dou qi could be condensed into objects and solidified.

After reaching the Dou King realm, one could form dou qi wings and draw upon a small amount of energy from the surrounding space. One could soar through the skies!

After reaching the Dou Emperor realm, one could form dou qi wings and draw upon large amounts of external energy of the same attribute. At the peak of the Dou Emperor realm, one could even remain suspended in the void for a short time without external assistance.

After reaching the Dou Ancestor realm, one could remain in the void without external assistance and grasp the power of space.

Upon reaching the Dou Venerate realm, one could tear apart space!

After reaching the peak of the Dou Venerate realm, there was an enormous threshold. In particular, many who enjoyed the bloodline of a Dou Di clan could go no further at this stage.

Of course, although those at the peak of the Dou Venerate realm could not directly cross into the Saint realm, they could undergo nine transformations of dou qi. Once their dou qi had been filled nine times, they could advance through nine transformations and become a "Half-Saint."

Though it was only a Half-Saint, the addition of the word "Saint" made it an entirely different concept from the peak of the Dou Venerate realm.

It could be said that the gap between them was as vast as heaven and earth!

Half-Saints were further divided into early, middle, and late stages.

Beyond Half-Saints were Dou Saints.

Once one's cultivation reached the Dou Saint realm, one would become a true powerhouse of this world!

With every gesture, Dou Saint experts could shatter mountains and split the earth, rupture space itself. The ability to carve out a habitable space from the void was the hallmark of a Dou Saint expert.

There was likewise a dividing line among Dou Saints. After reaching the six-star level, one would gain the ability to shift through space.

In a little over a year, he had advanced from a Dou Practitioner to a Grand Dou Master.

That showed just how effective this place was.

At that point, Lei Qi chose to proceed to the next floor.

The strongest opponents on the first floor had only been Dou Master puppets. The things they dropped were merely some Xuan-tier cultivation methods and dou techniques. However, nearly all of them were suited for the lightning attribute.

According to the clan chief and the First Elder, the entrance to the second floor was located in the central region. He had been heading toward the center all along.

Yet this world was even more vast than Lei Qi had imagined!

It took him nearly another month just to reach the entrance to the second floor.

After successfully arriving on the second floor, Lei Qi saw nothing but endless flatlands before him. It seemed that aside from the puppets and himself, there were no other living creatures here.

Hm. I wonder how that brat Lei Dong is doing now?

Lei Qi did not leave the exit. Instead, he chose to remain there and cultivate.

He wanted to see whether Lei Dong would make it to the second floor or not.

Half a year later.

Lei Qi's cultivation had already risen to the five-star Grand Dou Master realm.

Yet there was still no movement at the exit. In the end, he gave up waiting and left the place.

However, Lei Qi probably never expected that just as he left, Lei Dong arrived there.

Compared to Lei Qi, he was still somewhat slower.

However, by the time Lei Dong arrived, his cultivation had likewise reached the Grand Dou Master realm.

Lei Qi wandered about, searching everywhere.

As he defeated more puppets, he gradually discovered that they could not only help improve one's combat experience, but also possessed many good things.

Moreover, these were "antiques" from the Dou Qi Continent!

Anything left behind from ancient times was undoubtedly good stuff.

Crackle.

Crackle.

Heaven rewarded the diligent. Before long, he ran into a Grand Dou Master puppet.

Riiip!!!

The moment the puppet saw him, it wasted no words and immediately sent a bolt of lightning crashing down.

Boom!

Lei Qi reacted swiftly. As that lightning strike descended, a suit of dou qi armor condensed over his body.

After seeing the black crack scorched into the ground, Lei Qi swept his spear across!

Whoosh!

Bang!

Unlike the Dou Master puppets, which had no defenses at all, this Grand Dou Master puppet knew to protect its head.

After blocking Lei Qi's spear, the Grand Dou Master puppet threw a punch at him.

Whoosh!

The punch carried a fierce gust of wind as it shot straight toward his face.

Lei Qi instantly released his spear and threw out a punch of his own.

Bang!

Their fists collided, and a dull boom rang out in an instant.

The next moment, both Lei Qi and the Grand Dou Master puppet staggered backward.

The puppet casually tossed away the spear and charged at him again.

Since it did not know how to use a spear, the weapon was indeed rather awkward for it.

Thunderous Dance!

Dou qi rapidly gathered, and a beam of lightning shot straight ahead!

However, the Grand Dou Master puppet was no pushover. It did not only know close-quarters combat.

As Lei Qi unleashed a dou technique, it also used one.

Boom!!

The two forces collided once more.

Although Lei Qi had only grasped ten or twenty percent of Thunderous Dance, an Earth-tier dou technique was naturally not something the puppet's technique could compare to.

The puppet was instantly blasted backward.

Seeing the Grand Dou Master puppet sent flying back, Lei Qi pressed the attack.

In some respects, these battle-experienced puppets were undoubtedly brilliantly "designed"!

Bang! Bang! Bang!!

After closing in, Lei Qi threw punch after punch, each one brimming with dense lightning power as it smashed into the puppet.

Bang! Bang!!

Likewise, the Grand Dou Master puppet continued throwing punches.

But Lei Qi did not defend. Instead, he met every punch head-on!

Boom!

After a barrage of blows, the puppet's head finally shattered.

After dealing with the puppet, a dou technique manual appeared before him.

Raging Sparks Set the Prairie Ablaze.

It was a low-level Earth-tier fire-attribute dou technique.

Moreover, it could be infused into the body of a spear.

As it was merely a dou technique, Lei Qi himself could cultivate it. Coincidentally, he possessed both lightning and fire attributes, with a trace of wood attribute mixed into his fire attribute. Cultivating this dou technique would make him even more formidable.

In the original world, even Feng Qing'er of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan could cultivate two attributes, so naturally he could as well.

After all, he did not think he was inferior to her in any way!
