The Terrifyingly Powerful Black Demon Lightning

Ever since learning that puppets could drop loot, Lei Qi had spent his time either recuperating, replenishing his Dou Techniques, or fighting puppets.

Spring passed into autumn, and five years went by.

Over those five years, Lei Qi had replaced his cultivation method with a high-grade Earth-rank lightning-element method. He had now reached the third level, and his cultivation had broken through to the Dou Emperor realm.

Nearly seven years had passed since he arrived here. He had risen from a Dou Zhe to a Dou Emperor before his Dou Emperor bloodline had even begun to exert its power, all without consuming any cultivation resources. It was clear just how significant this clan ancestral ground was!

Indeed, there were no cultivation resources here. However, the resources consumed by the ancestral ground itself were hardly insignificant.

In other words, cultivation here still required consumption, just as it did outside.

Bang!!

Rumble!!!

At that moment, a Dou Emperor puppet was continuously clashing head-on with Lei Qi.

The two figures had already been fighting on the third level for several days!

Judging by its strength, this Dou Emperor puppet should have reached the level of a five-star Dou Emperor. Unlike the other puppets, it was more like a fully equipped "person" with countless trump cards! Fortunately, a puppet was not truly human. Otherwise, with Lei Qi's current strength, he truly would have had no way of defeating it.

Even now, his chances were clearly not great. Still, he had not arrived on the third level only a day or two ago. He had seen plenty of Dou Ling puppets and even Dou Wang puppets, but a Dou Emperor puppet like this one was absolutely the first.

If he had not wanted to see what "treasure" this Dou Emperor puppet possessed, he might have chosen to leave already.

After all, he already possessed even Heaven-rank cultivation methods and Dou Techniques.

It was just that he had yet to switch to a Heaven-rank cultivation method, while Heaven-rank Dou Techniques were even less usable. The Dou Qi required for Heaven-rank Dou Techniques could drain every last drop of Dou Qi from his body.

Otherwise, how could this puppet have survived until now?

Yet it was precisely because it was so difficult to kill that its value was proven all the greater!

Thunderous Dance!

Raging Sparks Set the Prairie Ablaze!

Heavenly Thunder Seal!

Lei Qi's Dou Qi boiled as he unleashed one trump card after another.

Having reached the Dou Emperor realm, he could naturally bring the power of Earth-rank Dou Techniques to its fullest extent.

After such a prolonged stalemate, faced with this barrage of bombardment, what could a mere puppet do to react?

Boom boom boom!!!

The thunderous explosions and rising mushroom clouds all displayed the overwhelming might of his trump cards.

From within the energy-filled smoke, the Dou Emperor puppet was blasted directly out!

Lei Qi gripped his spear, and his lightning wings flickered slightly. In the next instant, he shot forward. Arriving above the puppet, he thrust his spear straight through the Dou Emperor puppet's head.

Bang!

Once its head shattered, it meant that this puppet's life had completely come to an end.

Lei Qi slowly let out a breath.

At that moment, he saw a wisp of black lightning floating where the shattered puppet lay.

Black Demon Lightning?

No matter how he looked at it, though, it did not resemble Black Demon Lightning. Judging from its origin, it seemed even more terrifying than Black Demon Lightning.

Still, whatever it was, it looked like it should be absorbable, right?

Lei Qi sat cross-legged on the ground. Just as he absorbed the ancestral ground's lightning to cultivate, he drew the pitch-black lightning toward himself.

Then, he immediately began refining it.

This place had been created by the Thunder Clan's ancestors, so it certainly would not harm anyone.

Crackle.

From the instant Lei Qi absorbed the black lightning, he felt as if his body were about to shatter!

But now that the lightning had entered his body, if he did not refine it, would it not burst him apart!?

The thought of dying made Lei Qi dare not hold anything back!

Rumble rumble rumble!!!

At the exact moment he absorbed the lightning's power with all his strength, cracks began appearing across his body!

The instant those cracks appeared, they did not have time to spread. Lightning power from the sky poured into his body. Though the lightning entering his body also brought injury, it likewise possessed the ability to repair him.

If not for the lightning here, Lei Qi could not help thinking that he would likely have already split apart completely by now!

Rumble rumble rumble!!!

Riiip~~~~!!

The commotion here was immense. Lei Dong, who had also reached the third level, was drawn over by it.

When Lei Dong saw Lei Qi stark naked, with cracks appearing across his body from time to time, he looked somewhat bewildered.

Though he did not know what Lei Qi was going through, there was no need to think about it. If Lei Qi could endure it, he would surely reach a new height, wouldn't he?

Lei Dong clenched his fists and stared at Lei Qi, muttering to himself, "You'd better hold on. I will defeat you!"

Lei Dong did not leave. Lei Qi's commotion was simply too great, and many puppets from the surrounding area had been drawn over.

He was only a five-star Dou Wang at the moment.

Yet, facing the appearing Dou Ling and Dou Wang puppets, he charged forward without the slightest hesitation.

He did not know whether Lei Qi feared being disturbed, but as long as he was standing here, he naturally could not let anything happen to him.

Besides, after these puppets were killed, they all contained good things!

Lei Dong had likewise obtained a spear here.

With one man and one spear, facing three Dou Wang puppets and five Dou Ling puppets was not easy for him. Yet this kid seemed to have acquired a secret technique. In a short time, he absorbed lightning power and raised his cultivation to the Dou Emperor realm in one burst!

With the secret technique's enhancement, these puppets were naturally no match for him. In less than an hour, he had completely dealt with them.

After dealing with the puppets, Lei Dong hurriedly began recovering.

Although Lei Qi was absorbing the black lightning, he was also aware of what was happening around him.

He had not expected Lei Dong to come here and stand guard for him. What he had not expected even more was that Lei Dong had gained something as well. This secret technique had raised him from a five-star Dou Wang to the Dou Emperor realm in one go. It was clearly extraordinary!

And with Lei Dong guarding him, he was completely at ease as he endured wave after wave of body-tempering agony.

A full day passed before Lei Qi finally contained the Black Demon Lightning within his body.

But he could clearly sense that this power was extremely unstable. At the very least, he still could not control it.

Temporary suppression would eventually cause trouble, so he had no choice but to leave now. He needed the Thunder Clan's elders to help him suppress it.

After opening his eyes, Lei Qi looked at Lei Dong. "Thanks, but I need to leave. Once you come out, I'll explain it to you properly."

Seeing Lei Qi stop cultivating and immediately crush Clan Chief Lei Ying's jade slip, Lei Dong promptly asked, "There are still more than two years left. The energy here is pure, and you're leaving just like that??"

"I can't help it. The lightning I absorbed is too violent, and I can't control it. If I don't seek out the clan chief, I may very well be burst apart," Lei Qi replied.

Just as Lei Dong was about to ask something else, space rippled. In the next instant, Clan Chief Lei Ying's tall figure appeared before Lei Qi.

He could not stay long, nor did he have time to pay attention to Lei Dong. The restrictions here were simply that domineering, and he directly took Lei Qi away from the ancestral ground.
