Chapter 469: Void Lightning Pool

Chapter 469: Void Lightning Pool

Zi Yan pondered for a moment before nodding.

"You're right; what you said makes sense. We can do it this way. However, this matter may have to be postponed for a while. The time required for us to enter seclusion and absorb the power of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit won't be short. I still have a lot of things I need to take care of since the tribe has just been united."

The Ancient Void Dragon Tribe issues prevented Zi Yan from immediately absorbing the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit at this time. Xiao Ming didn't disagree with her choice and instead entrusted the fruit to her care.

After spending two days with her on Ancient Dragon Island, Xiao Ming asked an elder about the location of the Void Lightning Pool. After hearing this, Hei Qing eagerly accompanied him to the vicinity of the lightning pool near Eastern Dragon Island.

There was a Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning in the lightning pool that Xiao Ming was heading to. However, at this moment, he hadn't set his sights on it.

That thing was on the brink of attaining spiritual intelligence and possessed the strength of a seven-star Dou Saint, while Xiao Ming himself was merely a three-star Dou Saint. He wasn't foolish enough to deliberately court death.

He went to the lightning pool not only to temper the several Half-Saint puppets he had, but also because the lightning pool contained densely packed bolts of Black Demon Lightning, which was his primary goal.

...

Whoosh!

An enormous light shadow shot through the empty space like lightning. A strange ripple spread from this figure, blocking the relentless tearing force emanating from the emptiness.

The figure gradually drew closer. Only upon closer inspection would one notice that it was a massive black dragon. Perched atop the dragon's head was Xiao Ming.

Chi!

Feeling the rushing wind in his ears, Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.

A moment later, he realized that the end of the empty space was beginning to emit a flickering silver light. An exceptionally wild and violent energy was erupting there.

"Have we arrived..."

Xiao Ming's heart moved as he sensed this somewhat familiar energy. He slowly stood up on the enormous dragon's head, his eyes staring at the silver luster.

The silver luster was rapidly growing. A rumbling thunder also resonated next to Xiao Ming's ears in an earth-shaking manner.

Standing on the dragon's head, Xiao Ming looked at the scene before him, his eyes revealing a hint of astonishment.

Before his eyes was an enormous "lake" nearly ten thousand meters wide. However, the "lake" here was not composed of ordinary water; instead, it was filled with bright silver thunderbolts...

...

Inside the lightning pool, wild thunder danced, and enormous thunderbolts of nearly ten or even dozens of meters flickered incessantly.

Looking at these thunderbolts that could make ordinary Dou Venerates flee in distress, Xiao Ming shook his head directly.

"The peripheral thunderbolts are too weak. I need to go deeper."

As his words fell, his robe fluttered as he took steps towards the deeper parts of the lightning pool. He moved through the thunderbolts, and they seemed to ignore his presence.

The deeper he went, the denser the thunderbolts became, and their power turned even more violent. Thunderbolts as thick as water jars were enough to severely injure a high-star Dou Venerate upon impact, roasting them to a medium rare state.

The Void Lightning Pool was extremely vast, but with his speed, it took less than ten minutes to approach its depths.

Upon reaching the depths, Xiao Ming gazed at the suddenly dimmed surroundings and raised his gaze, fixing it on the mass of black lightning slowly writhing like darkness ahead, even with his current strength, his expression involuntarily turned solemn.

"Black Demon Lightning..."

His eyes couldn't help but show a hint of amazement. Who would have guessed that the Black Demon Lightning, which could only be attracted by refining a Ninth-Tier Pill, would be so plentiful here?

"The power of heaven and earth is truly unfathomable..."

After sighing, Xiao Ming took out the puppets he had previously refined in his spare time.

There were a total of three, all at the Half-Saint stage. Originally, there were four, all refined from the bodies of Half-Saints he had slain before.

One of them was given to Venerable Tian Huo to take back to the North-Western Region, so there were still three remaining.

With a thought, the three puppets stepped forward without hesitation. They walked slowly towards the depths of the lightning pool.
