Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning
After plundering the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, Li Changqing continued his journey across the Dou Qi Continent.
While searching for various opportunities on the Dou Qi Continent, Li Changqing also used Medicinal Materials he had plundered from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan to refine Ninth Grade Pills to aid his cultivation.
He continuously refined the Essence Blood of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix to improve his cultivation; a single pool of Essence Blood would be enough for him to use for a very long time.
For five consecutive years, Li Changqing led Gu Yuena and the Amethyst Winged Lion King on a journey across many regions of the Dou Qi Continent.
Relying on the resources he seized from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, coupled with the opportunities he obtained in various parts of the Dou Qi Continent, Li Changqing's cultivation level improved rapidly, far exceeding his initial expectations.
Now, Li Changqing's cultivation has reached the Nine-Star Dou Sheng, and his Soul Force has also reached the Heaven Realm Late-Stage Great Perfection.
However, the most effective ingredient was the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Essence Blood.
Without that pool of Essence Blood, Li Changqing's cultivation would have reached at most the level of Eight-Star Dou Sheng.
Of course, with the help of the Kunpeng Method, although his cultivation level improved rapidly, Li Changqing's foundation remained solid, without the slightest instability.
On this day, in a remote corner of the Dou Qi Continent, in a desolate Mountain Range, Li Changqing had been staying there for several months.
He is refining Ninth-Grade Golden Pill to help himself break through to the Nine-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage.
Li Changqing had carefully considered his choice of this location. Within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, there were no human inhabitants, not even high-level magical beasts.
Just to be on the safe side, he also sent Gu Yuena and the Amethyst Winged Lion King to guard the outermost edge of the Mountain Range, so that no one would disturb him in refining the Ninth-Grade Golden Pill.
After several months of continuous refining, the Ninth-Grade Golden Pill is almost ready to take shape.
As expected, Pill Lightning arrived, and thunderclouds gradually gathered above this Mountain Range. However, these thunderclouds were not the usual black, but a dazzling gold like gold.
It's more accurate to call it a sea of thunder than a thundercloud, since the thundercloud was so Dazhuang, like a golden ocean floating in the sky.
The roar of a giant dragon could be heard from time to time within the golden sea of lightning. A golden dragon could be faintly seen rising and falling within the sea of lightning, its body surrounded by countless thick golden bolts of lightning.
Even the smallest bolt of lightning exudes an extremely terrifying power.
Even a single bolt of lightning would be enough to pierce through the body of any Six-Star Dou Sheng, severely injuring him or even annihilating his soul.
With a deafening roar, the golden sea of lightning above the Mountain Range unleashed an extremely terrifying power, causing the entire Mountain Range to tremble.
However, this time what struck down from the sea of lightning was not lightning, but an entire golden dragon whose body Entanglement lightning.
The golden dragon shot straight out of the sea of lightning and charged towards Li Changqing.
Li Changqing remained completely calm. The yin and yang energy on the Yin-Yang Sword pattern on his right palm surged and suddenly transformed into a giant sword, piercing towards the golden dragon.
The golden dragon neither dodged nor evaded the incoming black and white giant sword, but charged straight at it.
With a snap, one of the dragon's horns was severed by the sword.
The dragon roared to the sky, its eyes revealing a human-like rage, and then opened its mouth, spitting out a terrifying golden lightning bolt at the Yin-Yang Sword.
The lightning struck the Yin-Yang Sword, producing a loud clang.
The Yin-Yang Sword is extremely sturdy. Even Eight-Star Dou Sheng would find it difficult to withstand the terrifying lightning, yet the sword remained undamaged when Yin-Yang Sword.
However, the Yin-Yang Sword was also knocked away by this attack, embedding itself in a mountain peak thousands of feet high. The mountain peak was instantly split in two, and the earth trembled.
Seeing the Yin-Yang Sword being knocked away, the giant dragon no longer hesitated and continued to target Li Changqing, charging towards him.
The dragon opened its massive jaws and lunged at Li Changqing.
Just as the dragon was about to swallow Li Changqing whole, a loud cry suddenly rang out.
Immediately afterwards, a Divine Peng wreathed in golden flames flew in at an unimaginable speed and smashed the dragon away.
This Divine Peng was transformed from the Yin-Yang Sword.
The dragon turned around and engaged in battle with the Divine Peng.
The dragon unleashed another terrifying bolt of lightning, attempting to suppress the Divine Peng once more, but the Divine Peng retaliated by spewing out Solar fire.
When lightning and fire collided, a terrifying explosion occurred in the sky above the Mountain Range.
The Void shattered endlessly, and spatial turbulence surged violently.
After exchanging blows, the dragon and the Divine Peng collided again, without any elaborate attack effects, only the most primitive hand-to-hand combat.
The dragon would sometimes bite and tear at the wings of the Divine Peng, and sometimes grab at the Divine Peng with its sharp claws.
Large swaths of feathers fell off the Divine Peng, turning into Sisi of light that slowly dissipated.
The Divine Peng was equally determined, its sharp beak pecking at the dragon repeatedly, its sharp claws like pliers, biting firmly into the dragon's slender body.
With each attack from the Divine Peng, a large number of golden scales would fall from the dragon.
The two colossal beasts fought fiercely in the sky above the Mountain Range, and the aftershocks of their battle were terrifying.
This area has become a forbidden zone; even an ordinary Dou Sheng expert would likely be instantly annihilated if they stepped into it.
If the location chosen by Li Changqing hadn't been extremely remote and uninhabited, such powerful battle fluctuations would certainly have attracted the attention of the world.
Gu Yuena and the Amethyst Winged Lion King, located on the outermost edge of the Mountain Range, stared blankly at the two giant beasts fighting in the sky.
They all felt a sense of inadequacy. Gu Yuena and the Amethyst Winged Lion King thought that the strength of Dou Sheng was already extremely powerful, but they did not expect that the gap between Dou Sheng was even greater.
Even Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) cannot escape being annihilated by a single hand in the face of a true peak powerhouse.
The battle between the Divine Peng and the dragon lasted a very long time.
As time went on, the dragon gradually showed signs of fatigue, and its aura began to weaken. After all, it was formed from Pill Lightning and could not last long.
With the continuous supply of Dou Qi from Li Changqing, a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, Divine Peng would naturally gain the upper hand if the stalemate continued.
The dragon glanced at the Divine Peng, then looked down at Li Changqing, before suddenly flying towards the golden sea of lightning in the sky, wanting to return to the sea of lightning to replenish its power.
Seeing that the time was right, Li Changqing had a thought, and the Divine Peng energy around the golden roc circulated, suddenly transforming into a Netherworld Giant Kun.
The Netherworld Giant Kun opened its abyssal maw, which seemed capable of swallowing the entire world, and unleashed its boundless devouring power, swallowing the weakened dragon along with an entire sea of golden lightning into its belly.
As Lei Hai disappeared, the entire Mountain Range suddenly fell silent.
Looking at the entire Mountain Range, it was already in a terrible state due to the shockwaves of the battle.
The once towering peaks were annihilated by the terrifying aftershocks, leaving behind charred landscapes from lightning strikes and flames, making the original Mountain Ranges completely unrecognizable.
The Netherworld Giant Kun opened its mouth and let out a roar. Its enormous body rapidly shrank, transforming into a three-foot-long black and white Longsword, which flew back into Li Changqing's hand.
