After the incident with the Bai Hua, the Northern King suffered considerable injuries, but thanks to the power of lightning within him, he not only absorbed all the accumulated lightning power in his body and recovered from his injuries, but also improved his strength to the Yuan Zong level. It can be said that he benefited greatly from both misfortune and fortune.
However, even so, that barely broke through, and he only managed to reach the Yuan Zong. But today, facing such a powerful Pill Lightning, the Northern King's strength will be able to advance completely, and not only that, he will be even stronger!
"Roar!"
With a cold, low roar, the Northern King charged forward once more, facing the massive bolt of lightning that was over ten feet thick, his body striking it squarely!
"Boom!"
The deafening explosion rang out once more. Under the horrified gazes of countless eyes, the thick bolt of lightning, upon touching the Northern King's Northern King, was torn apart and swallowed into his body by a strange suction force. Faced with these bolts of lightning, the Northern King's body was like a bottomless black hole. No matter how fiercely it was bombarded, the Northern King's figure remained unmoved. Even if he was blasted away, the bolt of lightning would be completely swallowed up.
A dozen or so bolts of Pill Lightning descended, only to be devoured one by one by the Northern King. Long Lin began to emerge on his body, and wisps of lightning energy coursed across his skin like living things. With a powerful punch, he met the Pill Lightning that fell from the clouds in the sky head-on.
"What a bizarre puppet!"
Upon witnessing this scene, everyone present was horrified. Even the high-ranking elders of the Xiao Clan, such as Xiao Jinghong, were astonished. Such a peculiar puppet was something they had never seen before in their lives!
"This thing's strength... is actually still rapidly increasing with the help of the Pill Lightning...?"
The Northern King, who had been repeatedly baptized by the Pill Lightning, was no longer afraid after being blasted to the ground. His body stood tall in the sky, accepting the fierce impact of the Pill Lightning. No matter how the Pill Lightning crashed into him, it was completely swallowed up by him, and he did not even take a step back!
At this point, the Northern King's combat strength is probably comparable to that of an ordinary Three-Star Yuan Zong!
"Boom boom boom..."
Above the sky, a tremendous roar resounded incessantly. Within the violently churning thunderclouds, it seemed as if countless bolts of lightning were lurking, continuously shooting out with increasing power, before crashing down upon the body of the Northern King.
After a long while, the rolling thunderclouds suddenly and eerily calmed down. The sky-covering thunderclouds gradually contracted, but just when everyone thought the thunderclouds were about to dissipate and was about to relax, the energy in this world suddenly became extremely turbulent. A terrifying, apocalyptic aura covered everyone's heads, causing the Origin Qi in the bodies of many people present to become slightly stagnant at this moment.
"Boom boom boom!"
At a certain moment, three bolts of lightning, even more powerful than before, suddenly burst forth from the thunderclouds that had shrunk considerably. As they fell, to everyone's astonishment, they merged into one, transforming into a terrifying bolt of lightning tens of feet thick, like a pillar of lightning reaching the heavens, which struck the Northern King!
Even so, facing such terrifying lightning, the Northern King's body remained as imposing as an iron tower in the void, gazing up at the falling lightning bolt. Just as it was about to strike his head, the Northern King suddenly opened his mouth, letting out a low, dry roar. Immediately afterward, a terrifying suction force surged outward, and the earth-shattering lightning bolt was swallowed whole by the Northern King!
As the lightning entered his body, the Northern King trembled uncontrollably. After a few breaths, he regained his composure. The last thundercloud in the sky slowly dissipated, and sunlight shone down, illuminating the Northern King's purplish-gold skin. Now, it appeared that half of his body was covered by Long Lin.
Above the villa, the raging Pill Lightning lasted for nearly an hour. During this hour, the Northern King absorbed nearly a hundred Pill Lightning. Naturally, the result of devouring such a terrifying number of Pill Lightning was astonishing.
The successive devouring of dozens of lightning bolts caused the Northern King's cultivation to advance at an unprecedented and frenzied pace. At this moment, the Northern King's strength had clearly reached the level of Five-Star Yuan Zong, which was no less than that of Xiao Lei. In fact, it was still uncertain whether Xiao Lei could be a match for the Northern King if the two were to fight.
Upon noticing this change in the Northern King's strength, the Xiao Clan elders present couldn't help but exchange glances, their eyes gleaming with a burning desire. Their thoughts were remarkably aligned.
A single seventh-tier Pill Lightning boosted the Northern King 'Northern King strength by a full five stars. It's unimaginable how terrifying his combat power would become if such powerful Pill Lightning struck repeatedly—would he become Yuan Zun or Yuan Sheng?
Imagine a puppet that can rapidly increase its strength simply by absorbing the power of lightning. At such an astonishing rate of improvement, if the family can nurture it, then once the puppet's strength breaks through to the Yuan Zun or even the Yuan Sheng realm, then the Xiao Clan will be able to become the number one power on the continent in no time!
At that time, neither the two major sects nor the Pill Tower will be taken seriously!
All of this is contingent on Xiao Yan relinquishing control of the puppet!
Upon thinking of this, many family elders in the arena unconsciously turned their gazes to the house below, where Xiao Yan was currently finishing up the final work on the pills.
Pill Lightning dissipated, Xiao Yan, who was in the room, finally took out the pill from the medicine cauldron in front of him. Looking at the Ancestor Transformation Pill in his palm, which was smooth and fragrant, a satisfied smile finally appeared on Xiao Yan's tired face. He thought that with this pill, Xiao Xuan's cultivation would be able to break through. Little did he know that a month ago, Xiao Xuan's cultivation had already entered the Yuan Zong. Although a month had passed, his strength had probably increased day by day and was no longer what it used to be!
"Crunch..."
As the door opened, sunlight streamed down from the sky, drawing countless gazes. Xiao Yan looked up and saw a sky full of people. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when he saw the slightly fiery gazes of some elders. As he turned his gaze back, a figure appeared before him.
Above, Xiao Mingyuan and the others' expressions changed, and their gazes fell on this person.
At this moment, Xiao Yan also looked up with slight surprise, then his expression faltered for a moment before he smiled and said:
"Ancestor, I have fulfilled my mission; the Ancestor Transformation Pill has been successfully completed."
