Six-Star Dou Saint

Deep within the Nihility Lightning Pool, Xiao Yan and the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame were frantically devouring swarms of Black Demon Lightning.

Absorbing and refining the energy of the Black Demon Lightning, the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame grew rapidly, becoming increasingly unafraid of the Black Demon Lightning's oppression, and even began to actively tear at the Black Demon Lightning.

After keeping a portion for itself, the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame will feed back the Black Demon Lightning that it cannot absorb or refine to Xiao Yan.

As the Black Demon Lightning approached the person and the fire, rings resembling dragon scales appeared on the surface of the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame.

Any Black Demon Lightning that was touched by it was as if it had encountered an irresistible gravitational pull. No matter how much it struggled, it could not escape. In the end, it lined up one by one, waiting to be absorbed by the person and the fire.

The Black Demon Lightning that entered the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame goes without saying, while the Black Demon Lightning that entered Xiao Yan's body was refined at an astonishing speed under the effect of the Emperor Flame, eventually transforming into the purest energy that flowed throughout his body.

As the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame frantically devoured the Black Demon Lightning, Xiao Yan also sat cross-legged in mid-air. Within his body, streams of exceptionally pure and powerful energy began to surge forth without warning.

With a focused mind, Xiao Yan controlled the energy to circulate along the path of the Flame Mantra Blade Technique, eventually transforming it into powerful Dou Qi that permeated every corner of his body.

With his eyes closed and mind focused, Xiao Yan seemed to clearly hear countless cells within his body crying out in desire and joy as the energy merged into his body. The energy from just one bolt of Black Demon Lightning was enough to equal what he would gain from several days of cultivation!

The efficiency of the two is simply incomparable; they are worlds apart!

"If we could completely devour and absorb the Black Demon Lightning here..."

A glint of light flashed in Xiao Yan's slightly narrowed eyes as he looked at the Black Demon Lightning permeating the depths of the Void Lightning Pool, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

Immediately, he closed his eyes completely and began to fully refine and absorb the powerful energy surging out of his body at an increasingly rapid pace.

Deep within the tranquil Void Lightning Pool, thunder rumbled, and countless black lightning bolts, resembling giant pythons, roared and surged, creating a magnificent spectacle of ten thousand thunderbolts.

Faced with such a magnificent sight, even Dou Sheng Expert would feel their own insignificance.

Within that sea of black lightning, there were two whirlpool-like formations.

Streaks of black lightning roared and coiled, completely surrounding the two places.

However, no matter how fiercely they attacked, those two areas were like bottomless pits that could never be filled. No matter how much Black Demon Lightning surged in, it all disappeared in a flash of black light.

The two gluttons relentlessly devoured the Black Demon Lightning, while at the edge of the deep Thunder Pool, a figure sat cross-legged in mid-air.

Black arcs of lightning occasionally shot out from his skin, making his black clothes and hair appear even more mysterious and unpredictable.

This kind of devouring was destined to be long-lasting, but fortunately, after countless years of evolution, the amount of lightning in this Void Lightning Pool had reached a terrifying level; otherwise, it would probably have been completely devoured by these two black hole-like entities in a short period of time.

The Nihility Lightning Pool is hidden in a vast and endless Void Space, rarely visited by humans.

Even when Dou Sheng Expert occasionally ventures into this place, they dare not enter easily.

Therefore, without any disturbance, Xiao Yan's cultivation progressed exceptionally smoothly.

During cultivation, time flies by like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, three days have quietly passed.

Over the course of three days, Xiao Yan and the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame devoured a large amount of Black Demon Lightning.

That immense and boundless devouring power directly reduced the amount of Black Demon Lightning deep within the Void Lightning Pool.

Of course, the benefits that Xiao Yan and the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame gained after absorbing such an astonishing amount of Black Demon Lightning were immeasurable.

After being tempered by numerous Black Demon Lightning for three days, the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame finally turned from silver to black, and it became extremely deep.

That deep black contained a strange magic. At first glance, it was like a constantly rotating black hole, and any attack that landed on it would be instantly swallowed up by the black hole.

An eerie black light entwined around the shape of the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame, making it appear from a distance as if it were draped in a very thin layer of dragon scales.

The "scale armor" was deep and dark, giving the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame a mysterious and eerie aura.

Now, this pitch-black Nine Dragons Lightning Flame is truly terrifyingly powerful. Under the nourishment of high-level lightning such as Black Demon Lightning, the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame is evolving rapidly.

Even against Three-Star Dou Saint, he would still have the strength to fight.

However, when the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame was strengthened to this extent, it seemed to have reached some kind of limit.

No matter how much Black Demon Lightning it absorbs, the effect is negligible.

Faced with this outcome, Xiao Yan could only shake his head helplessly.

Initially, the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame was extremely weak compared to the Void Lightning Pool. However, after absorbing enough Black Demon Lightning, even though the Black Demon Lightning was terrifying, it became commonplace for the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame.

It is already incredibly incredible that they have been able to strengthen themselves to this point. Even for human geniuses, it would take an extremely long time to reach the Dou Sheng realm.

However, Xiao Yan was well aware of the limits of this Void Lightning. Although he had advanced from Five-Star Dou Saint to the late stage, he could not possibly be satisfied with that.

After getting up, Xiao Yan charged deeper into the area with the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame.

Before long, Xiao Yan discovered a place where the fluctuations were extremely intense.

It was a dark area, emanating an extremely peculiar pressure.

As Xiao Yan approached, his dark eyes opened, filled with shock, as he gazed at the center of the sea of lightning.

There, a colossal dragon, its entire body gleaming as if cast from gold, coiled and undulated, golden lightning emanating from its surface!

It was precisely the Pill Lightning, the Ninth-Grade Golden Pill Nine Profound Golden Lightning.

If we were to rank the Nine Profound Golden Lightning like a ranking of Heavenly Flame Ranking, its position would be equivalent to that of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame or even the Nihility Devouring Flame on that Heavenly Flame Ranking.

This Nine Profound Golden Lightning only appears in the world when Ninth-Grade Golden Pill is refined.

Every time this thunder appears, it is earth-shattering, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.

Even Dou Sheng Expert appeared insignificant and powerless under its thunderous might.

In some ancient books, there are many accounts of extraordinary phenomena that occurred when top-level Alchemist refined Ninth-Grade Golden Pill.

Among these extraordinary phenomena, the most awe-inspiring was the Nine Profound Golden Lightning.

Even an ordinary Dou Sheng Expert would be reduced to ashes in an instant if touched by even a tiny bit of it.

Of course, even in the most prosperous ancient times, the Nine Profound Golden Lightning was extremely rare.

For thousands of years now, there has been no news of the Nine Profound Golden Lightning appearing on the mainland.

In other words, no Ninth-Grade Golden Pill has ever appeared on the Dou Qi Continent in the past few thousand years!

That kind of almost divine elixir is probably something no one on the continent can refine now.

"They found it so easily!"

Even Xiao Yan couldn't help but swallow hard at this moment.

A golden thunder dragon coiled deep within the sea of thunder, its eyes closed, golden arcs of electricity flashing across its body. A destructive power subtly spread, causing the Void Space to appear extremely distorted.

Countless Black Demon Lightning surrounded the Golden Lightning Dragon a thousand feet away, their appearance resembling that of a king paying homage to them.

"Gurgle..."

Watching this scene, Xiao Yan swallowed again.

That faint sound seemed exceptionally loud in the silent space.

Therefore, many of the Black Demon Lightning suddenly turned around, like angry giant pythons, and charged towards Xiao Yan.

Seeing the Black Demon Lightning rushing towards him, Xiao Yan accepted it all without hesitation, controlling the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame to devour Black Demon Lightning one by one.

Xiao Yan's stance caused more and more Black Demon Lightning to appear under the summoning of the Nine Profound Golden Lightning.

In an instant, the depths of the Thunder Pool erupted in turmoil!

Xiao Yan's intrusion into their sacred ground seemed to have thoroughly enraged them.

At that moment, a massive surge of Black Demon Lightning erupted, rushing towards Xiao Yan from all directions.

Under the onslaught of such a massive amount of Black Demon Lightning, Xiao Yan withdrew the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame and, with a thought, unleashed the Flame God.

The Flame God, which should have been enormous, is now only about a hundred feet tall in the depths of this Void Lightning Pool.

Even so, those Black Demon Lightning suddenly seemed insignificant to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan had only just raised his strength to the late stage of the Five-Star, and there was still a lot of room for improvement, so he naturally accepted all the Black Demon Lightning.

Just as Xiao Yan was enjoying his meal, the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, lurking deep within the Thunder Pool, set its sights on Xiao Yan.

Within those dragon eyes, lightning and thunder roared, as if the entire world had been reflected back into those enormous dragon eyes.

In the blink of an eye, the Golden Lightning Dragon opened its mouth, and a bolt of golden lightning, about a hundred feet long, shot out at nearly the speed of light with a hiss.

In a mere flash, he arrived before the Flame God, a speed so fast that Xiao Yan's pupils constricted.

At that speed, there was no way he could dodge it.

At that moment, Xiao Yan had a thought, and the Flame God's arm suddenly expanded. A flame passed through the arm and reached his fist, instantly transforming into a huge black and white shield, which was the condensation of Yin-Yang Twin Flames.

After the shield blocked most of his body, the golden lightning slammed into it.

"Bang!"

The powerful impact produced a deafening roar.

However, the strange black and white shield began to spin rapidly, and the powerful golden lightning seemed unable to exert its strength, and its power was even being constantly worn down as it spun.

With a deafening boom, the golden lightning exploded, transforming into countless tiny golden worms that instantly covered the shield, with some of it spilling onto the Flame God's body.

The terrifying, violent energy instantly struck all parts of the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, even invading the Flame God.

At this moment, the Flame God also underwent a change.

The enormous shield instantly retracted into the Flame God's body, along with the tiny, insect-like lightning.

The golden lightning was originally terrifying, but after it dispersed into the Flame God's body, it was immediately enveloped by the Emperor Flame and began to be refined into pure energy.

However, this refining process is far less effortful than that of the Black Demon Lightning.

Even Xiao Yan had to hold his breath and concentrate, firmly controlling this vast energy and urging it to circulate along his meridians. Wherever this energy passed, tiny golden lightning arcs flickered, causing Xiao Yan to experience waves of stinging pain within his body!

Even after being refined by the Emperor Flame, the energy of the Nine Profound Golden Lightning still caused Xiao Yan considerable suffering. Fortunately, his body had been significantly strengthened by the Black Xiao Yan Black Demon Lightning beforehand, so although he endured some hardship, he was not in any real danger.

Golden lightning flashed as Xiao Yan desperately refined the violent energy within his body, and the cold sweat on his forehead gradually faded.

Those wild, untamed energies gradually transformed into waves of pure Dou Qi, flowing through his entire body.

Under this refining process, Xiao Yan was delighted to discover that his strength, which had gradually stopped increasing, was actually starting to rise again at a slow pace.

However, Xiao Yan did not bask in the joy of his improvement, and instead allocated some of his energy to the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame.

If even a single golden bolt of lightning is so difficult to refine, then if another one comes, it will surely be even more troublesome.

To Xiao Yan's surprise, after he dispersed his energy, the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame that manifested on the Flame God exploded, and countless golden lightning arcs appeared on the dragon's body.

"How terrifying is the Nine Profound Golden Lightning! It can't even withstand the evolved Nine Dragons Lightning Flame!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan felt a chill run down his spine. Without the Flame God's massive Emperor Flame as a refining station, the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame would have suffered an even worse fate.

With a swift change of hand seals, Xiao Yan hurriedly absorbed the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame into his Flame God. He had expended a great deal of energy to refine and strengthen it, and it would be a real heartache if it were destroyed here!

After absorbing the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame, Xiao Yan maximized the Flame God's refining ability, absorbing all the golden lightning into his body.

The violent energy within the Flame God's massive body exploded into streaks of golden lightning, the effects of the Emperor Flame reaching their peak as it frantically refined the energy.

"We've broken through!"

As more and more vast energy surged into Xiao Yan's body, Xiao Yan's body suddenly trembled, and his eyes revealed a look of wild joy.

With the help of the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, he actually advanced from the Late Five-Star Dou Sheng to the Six-Star Dou Saint, saving him at least a year of cultivation!

Just as Xiao Yan was breaking through, he suddenly realized that the Nine Profound Golden Lightning deep within the sea of lightning had no intention of attacking.

There, the massive body of the Golden Lightning Dragon suddenly exploded, unleashing huge arcs of lightning, accompanied by a mournful dragon roar that resounded throughout the heavens and earth. The surrounding Black Demon Lightning was also terrified and retreated far away.

Seemingly sensing the depletion of the Black Demon Lightning in the Void Lightning Pool, the Nine Profound Golden Lightning frantically gathered the spiritual energy within the Thunder Pool and began its advancement.
