"Boom boom boom!"
Thunder rumbled incessantly. Between heaven and earth, a jet-black thunderbolt and a streak of black light clashed fiercely. In a short moment, the two had already collided a hundred times. Terrifying energy ripples, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, swept across the void. The Pill Lightning, which had initially been able to gain the upper hand by virtue of the power of heaven and earth, eventually fell into a disadvantageous position after exchanging a hundred blows with the Northern King.
As a puppet, the Northern King has no feeling in his body during battle. As long as Xiao Yan doesn't call for a halt, the Northern King will fight to the Pill Lightning. Moreover, with the Northern King's special ability, no matter how strong the Pill Lightning is, it will eventually be gradually devoured by him and become part of the Northern King's strength.
An immortal body, coupled with the bizarre ability to grow stronger with each battle, makes Pill Lightning, which is terrifying in the eyes of most alchemists, the best medicine for the Northern King to enhance his strength!
"Bang!"
With a deafening bang, this time, the Pill Lightning in the Northern King's hand was actually shattered by his punch. The enormous Pill Lightning was smashed into pieces by the Northern King, and before the lightning could dissipate, an extremely terrifying suction force suddenly surged from the Northern King's body. This suction force was specifically designed to deal with lightning, and in the blink of an eye, all the shattered Pill Lightning in the sky were swallowed up by the Northern King.
At the same time, the purple-gold light on the surface of the Northern King's body gradually became clearer. At this moment, the purple-gold light had covered most of the Northern King's body. Judging from this, it would not be long before the Northern King was able to advance to the Dou Di level. At that time, Xiao Yan would no longer be afraid even if he faced Dou Di expert.
After the Northern King absorbed all the Pill Lightning, the dark thunderclouds in the sky churned violently once more. Compared to before, this time, Xiao Yan could even feel the profound destructive power emanating from within the thunderclouds. If Xiao Yan were to bear this attack himself, even if he could withstand it, he would surely be severely injured. However, with the Northern King by his side, no matter how strong the Pill Lightning was, it was destined to be unable to harm Xiao Yan Xiao Yan.
"Boom..."
A deafening roar of thunder echoed once more. The cold-faced Northern King raised his eyes again, his empty gaze fixed on the violently churning thunderclouds high above. Then, with a bang, the Northern King clenched his fists tightly, stomped his feet hard on the void beneath him, causing it to collapse. The Northern King's figure, like a sharp arrow, instantly streaked through the air, plunging headlong into the thunderclouds!
"Rumble..."
Immediately afterward, the churning thunderclouds began to fluctuate even more violently, with bolts of lightning shooting out haphazardly, as if trying to force the Northern King out of the thunderclouds. At this moment, the thunderclouds resembled a flock of sheep invaded by wolves. Even with the thunderclouds unleashing their full power, they were ultimately unable to withstand the Northern King's Northern King devouring power, which was nothing short of bizarre.
Unbeknownst to Xiao Yan, when he looked up again, he discovered that the vast thundercloud that had once covered the entire sky had shrunk to only a few dozen feet in diameter. Under Xiao Yan's gaze, the thundercloud was now churning violently, and its power was rapidly diminishing.
Furthermore, Xiao Yan could clearly see that the thunderclouds were shrinking rapidly at a visible speed, and that they would probably be completely absorbed by the Northern King in just a few moments.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan was more worried than happy. Although the Northern King had reached the critical point of breaking through to the Dou Di, it would still be difficult to break through without sufficient lightning power. At this moment, the Pill Lightning was about to be exhausted. He wondered if the Northern King could successfully advance to the Dou Di before the Pill Lightning completely dissipated.
Meanwhile, far beyond the horizon, a group of Half-Emperor were also flying rapidly toward Xiao Yan's location. They could see the thunderclouds shrinking rapidly, which made them fly even faster.
Finally, the thunderclouds in the sky completely dissipated, and the last wisp of lightning transformed into a lightning serpent, which was absorbed into the Northern King's body and refined in a flash.
Seeing the Pill Lightning dissipate, the color on the Northern King's body had almost turned into a purple-gold color. However, even so, the Northern King's eyes were still pitch black.
Clearly, although the Northern King's strength has greatly improved, to the point that he can be called Dou Di, according to the actual classification, the Northern King is still a little short of a true One-Star Dou Di. This alone is enough to make it impossible for the Northern King to defeat Dou Di powerhouse.
Of course, if we really have to compare them, the current Northern King can be said to be unmatched below the Dou Di level. Although the Northern King is not yet Dou Di, he is better than Dou Di. It can be said that the current Northern King is a Quasi-Dou Di powerhouse!
"Alas, damn it, that Pill Lightning! If only it could have lasted a little longer, otherwise, the Northern King would have been able to successfully advance to the Dou Di. What a pity... what a pity!"
With a slight sigh of reluctance, Xiao Yan turned his gaze back to the medicine cauldron in front of him. He pursed his lips and rapidly changed hand seals. In the blink of an eye, a ring of flame was added to the second-tier pill, which was the Pill Transformation Ring!
Looking at the pills inside the cauldron, a satisfied smile gradually appeared on Xiao Yan's lips. Then, with a wave of his hand, the lid of the Myriad Beast Cauldron opened, and a perfectly round, jade-like pill fell into Xiao Yan's hand.
After casually putting away the pills, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan his gaze to the direction of Hanxi City. He could clearly sense that a large group of people were rushing towards him from that direction at this very moment.
It's not hard to imagine that the group of people must have been attracted by the Pill Lightning he had triggered while refining the pills. However, even if they came now, it was too late. The Pill Lightning had dissipated, and the pills had already fallen into Xiao Yan's hands. No matter how fast these people came, it was ultimately useless.
"Hehe, kid, why the rush? Although your puppet hasn't truly reached the Dou Di yet, it's getting close. Besides, there's still a powerful lightning force within the Northern King's body. Once he completely absorbs that lightning force, advancing to Northern King Dou Di will be a piece of cake."
Just then, Gu You's playful chuckle drifted over.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression faltered slightly, but he quickly recovered and his face lit up with joy. He knew that since Gu You had spoken, he must know exactly what the Northern King needed to do to quickly raise his strength to the Dou Di level!
" Elder Gu..."
"Hehe, I've told you before, don't be too hasty in anything. No matter what it is, being too eager for quick success is never a good thing. But, this puppet of yours is truly a prodigy. It can actually convert the power of lightning into its own. I think that your puppet has already accumulated a lot of lightning power within its body. As long as it can absorb all of that lightning power, it won't be difficult for it to advance to the Dou Di."
