Above the sky, Gu Li and Chi Lin stared in disbelief at the puppet that had burst forth. They simply couldn't understand why Xiao Yan would use a puppet to block the Pill Lightning!
"This... this guy, has he gone mad! Relying on puppets to withstand the Pill Lightning? How is that possible! With his barely-achieved Seven-Star Dou Saint strength, how could he possibly be a match for that Pill Lightning!"
Gu Li's body trembled slightly as he stood in the void, his heart filled with extreme tension. His hands clenched tightly under his sleeves, and beads of cold sweat gradually appeared on his forehead. He truly could not believe what he was seeing!
When Old Monster Hu saw this, he raised his eyebrows slightly. He was also surprised that Xiao Yan would use such a childish thing to deal with Pill Lightning. Did he really think that Pill Lightning could be easily resisted?
Even the Pill Lightning drawn by Mo Zhai's Sumeru Pill was enough to exhaust two Eight-Star Half-Emperor. Now, the Pill Lightning drawn by Xiao Yan's Emperor Tribulation Pill is even more powerful than the former. How can a puppet at the Seven-Star Dou Saint level possibly dream of resisting the Pill Lightning? Isn't that a joke?
At this moment, even many people in the Ancient Wilderness City below, upon seeing this puppet, were quite shocked, but at the same time, they couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
The Pill Lightning attracted by the Emperor Grade Pill is something that a mere Dou Sheng- level puppet cannot withstand. You must know that the Pill Lightning caused considerable losses to two Eight-Star Half-Emperor experts in the sky. How could it possibly be resolved by a single puppet!
At this moment, everyone in the arena was full of doubts about Xiao Yan's puppet. After all, the puppet's strength was too weak, and it was simply no match for him!
Under the suspicious gazes of everyone, Xiao Yan focused solely on the pills inside the cauldron, completely ignoring all the changes happening outside. And the puppet, finally, amidst the expectant eyes of countless people, clashed fiercely with the Pill Lightning.
"Boom!"
With a deafening and terrifying roar, the puppet at the level of a Seven-Star Dou Saint was instantly blasted away by the Pill Lightning in the sky. Its pitch-black body, like a huge iron block, tore through the void and crashed into the ground below!
When everyone looked up, the puppet had indeed been blasted away. However, the terrifying Pill Lightning that had descended from the sky had also vanished instantly, as if it had disappeared into thin air. This scene immediately made everyone think about the puppet.
Could it be that the puppet forcibly dispersed the Pill Lightning?
"Whoosh--"
The moment the thought crossed their minds, the entire audience erupted in uproar. If that were the case, wouldn't this puppet truly be extraordinary? It was able to directly shatter a bolt of Pill Lightning that even Eight-Star Half-Emperor had to take seriously. If this got out, it would probably cause a huge sensation in the world of alchemists!
After all, Pill Lightning) is something that every alchemist both anticipates and fears. Being able to summon Pill Lightning means that they have mastered the art, but the terror of Pill Lightning also gives them a huge headache. Now, there is actually a puppet that can withstand Pill Lightning, which has become the dream of thousands of alchemists!
"Sizzle..."
With a thunderous roar, the thunderclouds seemed to be enraged at that moment. As the thunderclouds churned, terrifying bolts of Pill Lightning crashed down one after another, fiercely striking down on Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, determined to pulverize him into dust!
"Bang!"
At that moment, a loud bang resounded from the ground below, and a jet-black figure shot out like a meteor – it was none other than the Northern King!
The Northern King appeared, his fists clenched tightly, and with a swift movement, he soared into the sky tens of thousands of feet high. Facing the falling Pill Lightning, the Northern King unleashed a powerful punch, directly meeting the Pill Lightning head-on!
"Boom!"
With a single punch, the Pill Lightning, upon contact with the Northern King, was instantly absorbed into his body as if it had fallen into an endless abyss. Only the remaining portion of the lightning flowed across the Northern King Northern King's body, becoming part of his power.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
High in the sky, the Northern King, amidst the myriad bolts of lightning, charged forward like a god of war defying the heavens, leaving countless people below dumbfounded.
They had seen things withstand Pill Lightning before, but they had never seen anything like this that withstood Pill Lightning!
Whenever a Pill Lightning struck from the thunderclouds, the Northern King would instantly rush forward, grab the Pill Lightning, and slam it against his body. Although it would leave a terrifying dent in his body, it would heal itself within a few breaths, and then he would immediately go to grab the Pill Lightning again...
This isn't resisting the Pill Lightning at all; it's like trying to catch Pill Lightning!
Judging from the way the Northern King is charging around like this, it's just a matter of him plunging headfirst into the thunderclouds above and being swallowed whole!
Moreover, as the Northern King continuously absorbed those Pill Lightning into his body, the several Half-Emperor in the sky quickly discovered that the Northern King's strength was also increasing at an extremely terrifying rate!
By this point, the Northern King's strength had increased from the initial Early Seven-Star Dou Saint to the level of the Eight-Star Dou Sheng, and Northern King strength was still increasing!
These Pill Lightning were completely devoured by the Northern King!
At this moment, everyone finally understood. No wonder Xiao Yan dared to use a puppet with a strength of only Dou Sheng level to resist the Pill Lightning. So that's why. This puppet was the complete nemesis of Pill Lightning!
As long as there is Pill Lightning, it will devour it all and become nourishment for increasing its strength. In this way, coupled with Xiao Yan's identity as an alchemist, the growth potential of this puppet is even greater than that of some geniuses from major forces!
It's hard to imagine how terrifying this puppet's strength will become in the future!
Looking at the puppet, Old Monster Hu and the others finally revealed a solemn expression. Now, they had to admit that Xiao Yan's strength was truly terrifying!
Not only is his own cultivation talent terrifying, but even this puppet is so heaven-defying. It's unimaginable how terrifying it will be when it fully matures!
On the stands, Elder Xuan and Luo Jin were also horrified. Even they had never seen such a strange puppet before. This puppet was truly powerful, no wonder Xiao Yan trusted it so much!
"Boom!"
One punch, shattered by lightning!
Time flew by, and the aura emanating from the Northern King had clearly reached the level of Half-Emperor. Yet, even now, the thunderclouds above his head showed no sign of dissipating. It seemed that these Pill Lightning not only failed to harm Xiao Yan, but were actually adding fuel to the fire of Xiao Yan's overall strength!
"Rumble..."
The thunderclouds churned once more, reaching their final stage. Meanwhile, the Northern King's strength had reached the level of Six-Star Half-Emperor. On the surface, he was no weaker than Li Gan, the ancestor of the Li Clan. It was unknown who would be stronger if the two were to fight.
Before the thunderclouds had dispersed, the Northern King, amidst the stunned gazes of the crowd, charged headlong into the churning thunderclouds!
"Rumble..."
"Rumble..."
After a deafening thunderclap, a burly figure covered in black smoke flew out from the clouds, and the thunderclouds gradually dissipated. By this time, the Northern King's strength had been completely stabilized at the Six-Star Half-Emperor level. Xiao Yan had benefited greatly from this refining of the Emperor Grade Pill!
