Chapter 470: Peak Three-Star

Chapter 470: Peak Three-Star

As the puppets ventured into the depths of the lightning pool, they immediately attracted the attention of some Black Demon Lightning.

The deafening roar of thunderbolts filled the air. The dense, ominous black lightning plasma filled with a destructive aura covered the puppets. The great commotion also attracted more Black Demon Lightning from within the Void Lightning Pool's depths.

Boom!

The thunderbolts struck the puppets, and the outcome was exactly what Xiao Ming had predicted. The intricate thunderbolt-covered puppets appeared to become black holes, greedily devouring the surging Black Demon Lightning.

The terrifying aura on their bodies rose at a visible rate that could be seen with the naked eye. If this happened outside, it would most likely alarm a lot of people.

After tempering them for a while, Xiao Ming discovered that the number of Black Demon Lightning was increasing. He summoned the puppets back to prevent them from being destroyed directly and allowed them to return to the area where they were active once the Black Demon Lightning subsided.

After repeating this process several times, Xiao Ming retrieved the three puppets when they reached the high-level Half-Saint stage. Then, with a single thought, he summoned his "Spirit."

Xiao Ming's main purpose for this trip was to increase his strength, and the puppets were only a side benefit.

The method of enhancing strength was to devour Black Demon Lightning. The energy contained within the Black Demon Lightning was immense compared to ordinary thunderbolts and naturally could be devoured.

However, ordinary people wouldn't think about devouring this type of thunderbolt. The Black Demon Lightning was too ferocious. Being hit by one, even if not killed, would be severely burnt. How could they be devoured?

Even if they could withstand the attack, the wild power of the thunderbolt wasn't easy to absorb. Trying to absorb it might even result in their meridians being severed.

Xiao Ming wanted to rely on the "Spirit" to absorb and convert them into pure energy. He hadn't even considered using his Qi Method to absorb them directly.

As soon as the "Spirit" emerged, it pulsed like a sprite. Coincidentally, a Black Demon Lightning the size of an arm inadvertently drifted towards them.

Right before Xiao Ming's eyes, it collided with the Spirit's body.

The "Spirit" could not be harmed by such a small Black Demon Lightning. However, upon contact, flames erupted on the Spirit's surface, and it swallowed the Black Demon Lightning whole.

Observing this scene, Xiao Ming recalled the "Spirit" back into his body.

Immediately, an extraordinarily pure energy surged out from the "Spirit," flowing through his body. As this pure energy coursed through his meridians and muscles, it induced a subtle tingling sensation.

Threads of electric-like energy quietly infiltrated, causing all the organs within Xiao Ming's body to burst forth with an unusually comfortable and joyful sensation.

Soon after, he closed his eyes completely, starting to assimilate and absorb the increasingly rapid influx of potent energy within him.

...

Deep within the tranquil expanse of the Void Lightning Pool, thunderous roars echoed. Countless black lightning bolts, resembling gigantic pythons, whizzed and coiled around. The spectacle was overwhelming, with thunder filling the sky and a sea of lightning swirling. Before this magnificent scene, even a Dou Saint powerhouse would feel insignificant.

Within this sea of black lightning, there was a presence akin to a whirlpool. Black lightning bolts howled and entwined, tightly encircling that area.

However fierce their assaults, the area resembled a bottomless abyss; no matter how many Black Demon Lightning surged forth, they ultimately vanished in the blink of an eye amidst a flash of black light.

At the edge of the lightning pool, a figure sat cross-legged in midair. Occasional arcs of black lightning shot out from his skin, creating an enigmatic aura around the white-clothed youth.

The Void Lightning Pool was hidden within the vast expanse of the void, rarely visited by anyone. Even some occasional Dou Saint powerhouses who ventured here dared not easily enter.

Therefore, undisturbed, Xiao Ming's cultivation progressed exceptionally smoothly.

Time flew by during his cultivation. A month had quietly passed in the blink of an eye.

During this month, it was unknown how many Black Demon Lightning the "Spirit" had devoured. This immense and boundless consumption had significantly thinned the number of Black Demon Lightning in the lightning pool's depths.

Of course, after devouring such a massive quantity of Black Demon Lightning, both Xiao Ming and the "Spirit" reaped incredible benefits.

Xiao Ming not only advanced from the intermediate three-star Dou Saint to the advanced sub-stage, but he also reached the peak of it.

A rapid breakthrough to the four-star Dou Saint stage wasn't an impossible feat in the near future.

As for the "Spirit," its appearance remained pure white, but faint traces of black lightning arcs could be seen flickering inside. After devouring so many Black Demon Lightning, the Spirit's affinity for lightning greatly increased.
