As Xiao Yan entered the Lightning Pool, chaos was about to erupt in the outside world.
In the Far Southern Land, within the Heavenly Puppet Sect, Sect Ren Kui leaned back in his main seat, his right index finger lightly tapping the armrest, his mind racing with thoughts.
Within half a month, thanks to the support of elixirs, all the powerful figures from the sects who had been severely injured by Xiao Yan had recovered. All the powerful figures sent out from various regions had also been recalled to their sects. Everyone was waiting for the day when the decisive battle with Burning Flame Valley would arrive.
"Hehehehe... The sect leader seems to be in a good mood, actually resting here. Does that mean he's not planning to take action against Burning Flame Valley?"
In the empty hall, a strange laugh suddenly rang out. Ren Kui slightly lifted his eyelids and saw a cloud of black mist swiftly flying through the hall. The laugh was so sinister that it made people want to vomit, and a pair of blood-red eyes in the black mist sent chills down one's spine. However, he had become accustomed to this scene over the years, and even if the latter appeared in front of him, he had nothing to worry about.
"Whether I take action or not, can't you tell? This time, in order to completely eradicate the Burning Flame Valley's influence in the Far Southern Land, I have recalled all the powerful figures from the sects I sent out earlier. Everything is ready. The only thing missing is the response from those beasts of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect."
Sitting up, Ren Kui rubbed his face to clear his head. When he mentioned the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes. Since the last battle, the two sects had met, but on the surface, they both seemed indifferent. The Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect had also agreed to the agreement with his Heavenly Puppet Sect, but until now, Xie Shan had still not given a clear response.
"So... I think you could add one more condition to your agreement with me..."
You're trying to push your luck?
As soon as Ren Kui finished speaking, the black mist appeared before him in an instant, like a ghost, its scarlet eyes fixed on him, its killing intent undisguised.
"Hmph, killing Xie Shan for me isn't too much to ask, is it?"
Ignoring the murderous intent in the eyes of the person before him, Ren Kui snorted coldly and spoke slowly in a slightly low voice.
"Hehehehe, that's your problem. All we promised you was the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva. After we wipe out the Burning Flame Valley, we'll get Xiao Yan, and you'll get the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva you want. As for anything else, we're not responsible for anything else."
Upon hearing this, a disdainful sneer immediately rang out from within the black mist. When these words reached Ren Kui's ears, his face instantly turned ashen, and half of his face twitched uncontrollably. He was about to speak in defense, but the words uttered by the person in front of him made his body instantly stiffen.
"Remember this: you're not worthy to negotiate with my Ghost Hall!"
Seeing that Ren Kui made no further move, the figure shrouded in black mist let out a strange laugh and gradually drifted away. When the ghostly figure completely disappeared, only Ren Kui, whose face was extremely ugly, and the faintly echoing cold laughter remained in the hall.
Outside the Ancient Wilderness City, on Ge Thunder Mountain, within the Void Lightning Pool.
Deep within the Lightning Pool, after Xiao Yan refined the last wisp of lightning power absorbed into his body by the Flame Mantra, his tightly closed eyes slowly opened.
A satisfied smile appeared on his lips. After this period of frantic absorption, the power of thunder had been completely refined into pure energy within his body. Xiao Yan had also used this to break through his cultivation once again. Just now, his cultivation had reached the Peak Origin King, and he was only one step away from the Origin Emperor Great Realm.
"Call..."
Feeling the abundant power within his body, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile wistfully, and then he prepared to get up.
However, the moment Xiao Yan looked up, the scene before him froze him instantly, and his expression gradually turned into one of astonishment.
Looking around, the Void Lightning Pool, which was originally filled with the power of thunder, was now completely devoid of any lightning. After exploring with his Spiritual Strength, Xiao Yan was even more astonished to find that the power of thunder within the Lightning Pool had been completely absorbed.
This so-called Void Lightning Pool has become a void, and it's likely that it won't be able to produce thunder power for many years to come. And the person responsible for all of this is now thinking of obediently leaving this place...
Slightly embarrassed, Xiao Yan touched his nose and then looked at the Northern King beside him. When his gaze fell on the latter, his expression changed instantly. If we were to say who had absorbed all the lightning power in the Void Lightning Pool, it would probably be the Northern King.
At this moment, after absorbing the power of lightning, the Northern King's lightning power surrounding his body became even more intense and domineering. His purple body shone even more deeply, and lightning runes appeared all over his body. Upon closer inspection, those runes seemed to be writhing faintly like living things. What surprised Xiao Yan the most was that five silver Long Lin had appeared between the Northern King's eyebrows!
The strange change in the Northern King shocked Xiao Yan. It was true that the Northern King's body came from the Ancient Void Dragon Clan the Void. In his previous life, he did have Long Lin, but after being refined by the Heavenly Flames, the Long Lin had long since fused into his body. His current body should be smooth, but the appearance of these Long Lin seemed to be subtly confirming something.
Regardless of the circumstances, there is no doubt that the Northern King's strength has greatly improved after entering the Lightning Pool. At this moment, the oppressive aura emanating from the Northern King's thunderous power even made Xiao Yan secretly tremble. He had no doubt that the Northern King's combat strength had now reached the Origin Emperor, which was an unexpected surprise.
Of course, what made Xiao Yan feel most guilty was the power of lightning in the Void Lightning Pool. It had accumulated over countless years, but now it had all gone to benefit Xiao Yan. If the people of the Ancient Wilderness City knew about this, they would probably want to skin him alive.
Once outside the Void Lightning Pool, Qing Feng and the others were already impatient. Xiao Yan could only smile awkwardly. In the blink of an eye, he noticed the three large characters " Ge Thunder Mountain " that contained the pressure of Dou Di. An idea immediately struck him. Since he was the one who caused the thunder in the Void Lightning Pool to be exhausted, he should at least offer some compensation.
"Let's use this as temporary compensation."
With a light laugh, Xiao Yan then used his immense Spiritual Strength, combined with his current Peak Origin King strength, to leave another strand of his own will on Ge Thunder Mountain. This should be enough for many people to comprehend. Compared to the power of lightning, although this will is not as direct and effective, once one comprehends it, the gains will be far greater than those from the Void Lightning Pool.
However, immediately after Xiao Yan finished doing all this, he realized from Qing Feng that more than half a month had passed since he entered the Void Lightning Pool. If the thunder power inside the Void Lightning Pool had not been completely absorbed, he would probably still be inside now.
Coming to his senses, Xiao Yan's heart tightened as he thought of the great battle between Burning Flame Valley and the two sects. His expression changed, and he quickly shouted, leading his group to fly rapidly towards the Far Southern Land at lightning speed.
