Three Thousand Lightning Movement (Please Keep Reading)

The Purple Cloud Wings in the Xiao Yan Inheritance were a Flying Dou Technique. Xiao Dong could already fly freely on the strength of his own body, so the technique itself held little appeal. But that did not stop him from using the Bone Wings of those high-grade Flying Demonic Birds to forge a genuine Flying Dou Technique on the spot!

When he returned to Shrek City, he could casually bestow a flying treasure capable of driving any Soul Master below Soul Saint mad with desire upon Zhou Yi, Ning Tian, or Wu Feng. It would win their loyalty and earn him the adoring gazes and willing obedience of those beauties, young and mature alike. What was not to like?

With his mind made up, Xiao Dong drew a deep breath. His bones and joints crackled like beans roasting in a pan.

Boom!

The next instant, dazzling silver lightning surged from Xiao Dong's legs and ankles like countless darting snakes!

A low, thunderous storm seemed to explode in the air!

Low Earth Tier movement technique, Three Thousand Lightning Movement!

Whoosh!

Wind and thunder cracked softly beneath his feet. In an instant, Xiao Dong became a silver afterimage too fast for the naked eye to catch. His uncanny, flickering footwork tore a piercing shriek from the air itself!

Carrying the three enormous Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast carcasses behind him, Xiao Dong raced through the forest. Each flicker of his figure was as elusive as a sudden shift through space. In the blink of an eye, he had crossed several miles!

"This Low Earth Tier movement technique truly is wondrous..."

Feeling his body move almost like a specter teleporting through space, Xiao Dong's eyes shone with admiration. Homelander's speed in a straight-line charge was astonishing, but for darting through tight spaces and making unpredictable turns, this profound movement technique clearly had the edge.

Boom!

The wind and thunder fell silent. Without warning, Xiao Dong's figure slowly emerged above the ancient wooded ravine. From on high, he looked down at the fifty-thousand-year Netherworld Demon-Eyed Lizard, which raised its head in alarm from the mud pit below.

Roar!

The crushing pressure of his sudden arrival made the cunning Soul Beast bristle. The huge gray-white vertical eye on its brow snapped wide open, firing a deathly pale Mental Decay Curse Beam viciously at the black-clad youth in midair!

Yet Xiao Dong did not so much as raise an eyelid against that insidious attack, one capable of dissolving a Soul Saint's flesh and bone.

His figure blurred like a ghost as he unleashed Three Thousand Lightning Movement again. His afterimage slipped clear of the pale beam, and in the next instant, he landed squarely on the Netherworld Demon-Eyed Lizard's huge, hard skull as though he had teleported!

"Down, you little beast!"

Xiao Dong's gaze turned icy. His right palm drew in slightly as the immense Soul Power within him surged along an exceedingly intricate path through his meridians, pouring through his elbow into his palm!

High-grade Profound Tier Dou Technique, Eight Extremes Collapse!

Bang!

A palm strike that seemed to carry no force at all settled lightly against the huge gray-white demonic eye on the lizard's brow.

But at the instant of contact, Xiao Dong's Eightfold Hidden Force erupted inside the lizard's skull like a succession of towering waves!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Eight muffled, deafening blasts rang through the beast. Its skull, harder than tempered steel, crumbled like rotten tofu. The enormous gray-white eyeball burst into a spray of blood and flesh, while the vast brain of the fifty-thousand-year beast was churned into pulp by the concentrated force!

Thud!

The giant lizard's body crashed into the mud. It did not even twitch before all life left it.

Another kill in a single blow!

As the Netherworld Demon-Eyed Lizard died, a deep black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring slowly rose from its shattered skull.

Xiao Dong drifted down from the air without a moment's hesitation. With a grasp toward the Soul Ring, he sent the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame sweeping through it, instantly cleansing away the violent remnant soul. Then he opened his mouth wide and swallowed the fifty-thousand-year Fourth Soul Ring in one gulp, without the slightest resistance!

Rumble!

The instant the Fourth Soul Ring entered his body, the immense Soul Power that had been held at the level-forty bottleneck erupted once more with the roar of mountains and seas!

The seemingly unbreakable barrier to becoming a level-forty Soul Ancestor shattered under that oceanic surge of energy!

Level forty-one!

Level forty-three!

Level forty-five!

Level forty-seven!

His Soul Power's frenzied ascent finally came to a steady halt at the terrifying level of a level-forty-seven, high-level Soul Ancestor!

He had gone from a One-Ring Soul Master to a high-level Soul Ancestor, nearly a half-step from Soul King. If word of such a staggering rate of advancement spread, even the centuries-old monsters in Shrek's Sea God Pavilion would be frightened out of their wits!

Crack!

At the very moment Xiao Dong's Soul Power stabilized, the fifth golden shackle deep within his mind, sealing the Xiao Yan Inheritance beyond Da Dou Shi, shattered!

The Dou Ling level of the Xiao Yan Inheritance was officially unlocked!

Hum!

Ancient golden characters as vast as a sea of stars churned and shifted through Xiao Dong's mind. A momentous divine art, one that made all creation pale in comparison, branded itself deep into the core of his soul.

Tier 4 Alchemy!

Tier 4 Medicinal Pills included true, fate-defying elixirs such as the Three-Pattern Clear Spirit Pill, which could force a Da Dou Shi to break through a rank without any side effects!

"Haa..."

Xiao Dong let out a long breath of white mist. A sharp gleam flashed through his dark eyes.

Feeling the immense Soul Power that had surged to level forty-seven, he had no thought of stopping to rest. Instead, an even fiercer greed rose within him.

Now that the heaven-defying method of using the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame to refine a Soul Ring's essence and nourish its evolution had been thoroughly proven, what was there to hesitate over?!

He might as well see it through and raise his other two Soul Rings to the hundred-thousand-year mark too!

Hum!

His super vision pierced layer after layer of space, sweeping through the Core Zone with domineering force.

Within minutes, Xiao Dong's gaze sharpened.

Deep in a rocky gorge some ten-odd miles to his left lurked a fearsome tiger seven or eight yards long, dark demonic flames coiling around its body.

A twenty-thousand-year Dark Night Demon Tiger!

"Twenty thousand years. Just right to fill the last gap in my Second Soul Ring!"

Xiao Dong gave a cold laugh. He could not be bothered with another word. Silver wind and thunder exploded beneath his feet!

He drove the Low Earth Tier movement technique, Three Thousand Lightning Movement, to its limit in an instant. Like a silver thunderbolt, Xiao Dong tore across the sky, carrying the enormous Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast carcasses behind him. After a few flashes, he appeared without warning above the rocky gorge!

Roar!

The overwhelming threat of his sudden arrival jolted the Dark Night Demon Tiger awake where it had been dozing on a boulder. It roared in mingled shock and fury.

But before the Soul Beast could summon the Netherworld Demonic Flame within it, brilliant crimson light burst from Xiao Dong's eyes high above!

Homelander's Heat Vision!
