A couple of days later, Xiao Yan, who had been wildly hurrying along the Flowing Fire Plains, finally landed on a barren, red-colored rock peak. He turned his head and saw three auras swiftly chasing over from the edge of his sight. From the looks of it, they would arrive at this place within a short while.
"These fellows really refuse to give up on their evil intentions!"
Xiao Yan knit his brows slightly when he sensed the three auras. The thoughts in his heart quickly changed. After which, he waved his hand and the dark-black tent in front of him swiftly agglomerated. Soon after, it gradually agglomerated into a square-shaped cage under his control. The space within it was torn apart and a cluster of wild and violent Lightning Yuan appeared.
When Lei Yuan was exposed, the three people in the distance who were swiftly chasing over also discovered it at the same time. Immediately, the speed at which they charged forward increased. Within a short couple of breaths, they had already appeared in the empty space less than a thousand feet in front of Xiao Yan.
There were three people who had arrived. One of them was a strong man while the other two were old men. Their strengths were around that of a five star Yuan Zun. Xiao Yan was able to recognize these three people at a glance. They were the ones who had bid for Lei Yuan during the auction at the Lava Castle a couple of days ago. Moreover, these three people were lightning affinity experts. It was unexpected that they would follow him all the way here after leaving the Lava Castle.
"Hehe, after chasing for a few days, you finally stopped."
Among the three of them, a relatively short old man spoke slowly. His tone was rather awe-inspiring.
"Little friend, this old man can sense that your aura is incomparably blazing. You should be a cultivator of the fire attribute. The value of this Thunder Yuan will be greatly reduced if it falls into your hands. Why don't you give it to us? This old man has some medicinal pills that can help cultivators of the fire attribute. At most, I will give it to you."
The other old man appeared to be a little more courteous. However, that pair of eyes revealed a greed that caused Xiao Yan to curl his mouth and laugh.
"Sorry, I don't want to give the lightning Yuan to others."
"Does that mean we can't come to an agreement?"
The burly man sneered in a deep voice. He looked at Xiao Yan with a particularly vicious expression as a murderous intent spread.
"Brat, the three of us have been chasing you for a few days. We've already given you a chance. Since you're unwilling, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
Genesis Qi erupted from the trio's bodies. Given their strength, they were naturally able to tell that the person before them was merely a 4 star Genesis Ancestor. Such a cultivation level might be extraordinary amongst the younger generation, but against the three of them, the former had absolutely no chance of victory!
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes when he saw the three of them revealing such an attitude. He coldly laughed.
"Sirs, the three of you teamed up against me. Even if you win, there's only one Thunder Yuan. How should we split it?"
"Hmph, don't think about how to drive a wedge between us. Hand over Lei Yuan as soon as possible, and we'll leave your corpse intact!"
That short, small, old man let out a sinister laugh in a hoarse voice. The three of them moved in unison and unceremoniously charged at Xiao Yan from all directions.
Xiao Yan merely laughed coldly when he saw the three of them being unceremonious. A murderous intent surged within his smile. A thought passed through his heart and the space beside him flashed. The Northern King quickly appeared by his side. Immediately, Xiao Yan pressed the Lightning Yuan in his hand into the Northern King's body in front of the stunned eyes of the three of them!
"Brat, are you crazy!?"
When they saw this crazy scene, the expressions of the three changed drastically. However, just as they were about to retreat, a frightening thunderbolt energy suddenly shot out from within the Northern King's body. The three of them were the first to be blasted back by a thousand feet. When they steadied themselves and looked again, they saw that the puppet was wrapped in thunderbolt energy. Even they could not help but tremble in fear when they saw such a powerful force.
"This puppet … can devour thunderbolt power!"
"Damnit, this is going to be troublesome. Based on the power that the puppet has unleashed, it's likely comparable to an 8-star Source Sect. We've underestimated him!"
Upon seeing that Lei Yuan had already merged with the Northern King, the short old man and the other old man exchanged a look. After gauging the gap between the two parties, they decisively chose to retreat. Only the burly man stared at Xiao Yan with a sinister expression. His face twitched when he sensed the two rapidly retreating figures on his left and right.
"Humph, what a coward. This puppet is even more valuable than Lei Yuan. If we can kill that brat …"
Before he could finish cursing, the Northern King abruptly transformed into a thunderbolt under Xiao Yan's control and instantly closed in on the burly man. The burly man swiftly reacted, swiftly circulating his Genesis Qi to defend himself. However, he was still viciously sent flying by the Northern King's leg. By the time he came to a stop, half of his clothes had already been torn to shreds by the thunderbolt. The terrifying force of the blow numbed his entire body. Only then did he fully awaken. He hatefully gritted his teeth and swiftly fled.
Upon seeing the trio swiftly leave, Xiao Yan let out a chuckle and summoned the Northern King back. There was not the slightest trace of worry on his face as he sensed the thunderbolt power wreaking havoc in the puppet's body. Instead, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"The thunderbolt power contained within Lei Yuan is truly tremendous. In such a short period of time, the Northern King's strength has already reached the 8-star Source Ancestor stage. If he can completely absorb it, he should be able to advance to the 9-star Source Ancestor stage."
As Xiao Yan's gaze swept across the Northern King's body, he discovered that while the Northern King's strength continued to rise, the number of scales covering his body had also increased. With the exception of his arms and two ribs, the rest of the Northern King's body was now covered in dragon scales. From the looks of it, it would not be long before his entire body was covered in dragon scales.
Dragon scales were not only a symbol of status to the Dragon Clan, but also extremely powerful defensive properties. Take Xiao Yan's Dragon Phoenix Ancient Armor for example. Even at his current cultivation level, the Dragon Phoenix Ancient Armor's defensive power could not be underestimated. However, no one knew what strange things would happen once the Northern King's body was covered in dragon scales.
After staying on the mountain peak for half a day, the berserk Lei Yuan within the Northern King's body gradually calmed down. At this point, the Northern King's strength was already nearing the intermediate 8-star Source Ancestor stage. The rest could only wait until he slowly absorbed it.
After dealing with Lei Yuan, Xiao Yan's next target was naturally the Fire Banyan Ruins. Xiao Yan had been traveling in the opposite direction from Qin Yan for the past few days. It would not be easy to catch up to him in a short period of time.
After a simple adjustment, Xiao Yan glanced at the scarlet sky in the depths of the plains. The tip of his foot gently pushed off the ground as his body charged forward. However, in the next instant, the sounds of battle suddenly rang out from the plains to his right. Amidst the intense battle, two indescribable auras caused Xiao Yan's expression to change slightly.
