"Crackle …"
Thunder rumbled in the pitch-black lightning pool. Xiao Yan, Xiao Jin and the Northern King were all standing in different directions as they continuously absorbed the frightening lightning within the lightning pool.
The Northern King's devouring was relatively direct and violent. Wherever his body passed by, a dozen or so pitch-black lightning would be sucked into his body. In an instant, intense muffled sounds of thunder could be heard from the Northern King's body. They sounded like the roars of beasts.
As the lightning devoured, the injuries on the Northern King's body were all healed. His pitch-black and solid skin gave off a strange feeling of indestructibility. Occasionally, pitch-black lightning would flash through his indifferent eyes. On the surface of the Northern King's body, pitch-black lightning would flicker unceasingly. They had become a part of his tough and tyrannical strength.
Compared to the Northern King, Xiao Jin was even more tyrannical. Or perhaps, it could be said that he was barbaric.
In front of Xiao Jin, those originally terrifying lightning bolts were like a big cat that had seen a tiger. No matter how strong he was normally, in front of Xiao Jin, he could not even use a tenth of his usual strength.
At this moment, Xiao Jin had transformed again. He had turned into a thirty-meter-long golden dragon. His enormous golden dragon claws grabbed at the air, and a large amount of black lightning was caught in his palm.
Xiao Jin was not courteous at all. He seemed to be completely treating the lightning as food. He opened his mouth and swallowed the lightning in one gulp. After he finished eating, he even symbolically burped. However, after a short while, he began to eat again.
Compared to the Northern King, the lightning pool in the sky was a true paradise for Xiao Jin. As he continued to devour the lightning, Xiao Jin's strength was rapidly increasing. At the same time, Xiao Yan had also begun to break through to become a four-star Half Martial Emperor.
Back in the Spirit Ginseng Clan, Xiao Yan's strength had already reached peak three-star Half Martial Emperor. After going through the many battles in the past month and a half, Xiao Yan's cultivation was only a matter of time before he broke through to become a four-star Half Martial Emperor.
When Xiao Yan sat cross-legged in the empty space and calmed his heart down, the Qi Method within his body began to circulate. A huge energy swirl had already appeared in the empty space where he was.
The appearance of the energy whirlpool immediately attracted the dark-black thunderbolts. A frightening suction force wildly erupted. It was like a tornado that was hanging upside down. The wild suction force continued to tear the surrounding empty space. Numerous dark-black thunderbolts were like small fish that had been drawn into a whirlpool as they swiftly gathered toward Xiao Yan.
In the face of so many thunderbolts, Xiao Yan did not dare to be careless. With a thought, the 'Heavenly Flame' within the vortex within his body immediately spread out, wrapping around Xiao Yan's internal organs, meridians, and bones.
These thunderbolts had an extremely great tempering effect on the body. Xiao Yan would not give up such an opportunity. Therefore, he did not throw the 'Heavenly Flame' out of his body. However, if he did so, the pain Xiao Yan would have to endure while absorbing the power of the thunderbolts would be even more unbearable.
Regarding this, Xiao Yan did not have much of a change in his heart. He understood that if he wanted to obtain a sufficiently strong power, he would have to pay a sufficiently high price. Although the following process of absorbing the power of the thunderbolts might be very painful, it was much better than being chased by others. At the very least, he could guarantee that he would not die.
"Huff … Come, come! Four-star Half Martial Emperor, I'm coming! "
With a low shout in his heart, the vortex above Xiao Yan's head suddenly trembled. The frightening suction power became even more ferocious. Like an ancient giant beast, it unceasingly pulled the pitch-black thunderbolts closer and closer before being engulfed by the vortex.
After the thunderbolts gathered, they ruthlessly smashed onto Xiao Yan's body. The pitch-black and frightening power of the thunderbolts instantly exploded. Like a bomb, the berserk energy bombarded Xiao Yan's body. Pain instantly spread throughout Xiao Yan's entire body.
The pain that came from his body was simply unbearable for Xiao Yan. However, he still managed to endure it with a strength that surpassed that of ordinary people.
Xiao Yan tightly clenched his teeth, his face distorted, and the muscles all over his body instantly tightened. As the thunderbolts were absorbed into Xiao Yan's body, the places that were touched by the thunderbolts earlier turned scarlet red. It was as if they were being burned by fire. Even the blood vessels under his skin appeared to be extremely distorted and frightening.
Although this process was extremely painful, the results obtained were clearly extremely remarkable. After being tempered by the thunderbolts, Xiao Yan's physical body had clearly become even more powerful.
At the same time, the pitch-black thunderbolts exploded the instant they came into contact with Xiao Yan's body. Then, they were forcibly absorbed into Xiao Yan's body.
Faced with the sudden influx of frightening thunderbolts, Xiao Yan's heart was extremely calm. The instant the thunderbolts appeared, the Heavenly Flame that had been waiting for them immediately pounced over. Like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, it completely enveloped the thunderbolts.
… …
As his physical body continued to be tempered, the Heavenly Flame within his body continued to refine the thunderbolts. Xiao Yan's aura also gradually rose.
As Xiao Yan entered seclusion training in the depths of the Lightning Pool in the sky, the battle outside the Lightning Pool had already stopped.
At this very moment, Gu Li and Chi Lin were seated in a lightning pool that was filled with bright silver lightning. They were not in a hurry to cultivate. Deep worry was revealed on their old faces as they felt incomparably anxious in their hearts.
At this very moment, it had already been over two months since the battle where Mu Han had chased after Xiao Yan. Gu Li and Chi Lin could still clearly remember the extremely gloomy expression on Mu Han's old face when he returned from chasing after Xiao Yan. From the looks of it, it was obvious that he had not managed to catch up to Xiao Yan.
Originally, Gu Li and Chi Lin felt rather fortunate for Xiao Yan. After all, he was able to escape from the pursuit of a Nine Star Half Martial Emperor. Even if he were to be defeated, such a battle result would still be glorious.
Of course, the thing that they were most concerned about was that Xiao Yan was still alive.
However, as time elapsed, the originally relaxed expressions on Gu Li and Chi Lin's faces gradually disappeared.
In the past two months, they had been searching for Xiao Yan's traces all over the Lightning Pool. However, from the beginning to the end, they had not discovered the slightest trace of him. In fact, they had not even sensed his aura.
This gave them the feeling that Xiao Yan had already left the Lightning Pool. However, how could they not know that the Lightning Pool was not a place where one could come and go as they pleased?
The Lightning Pool would open after a hundred years. When Half Martial Emperors like them entered, the Lightning Pool would automatically close. The next time it would open would be half a year later. Before that, it was absolutely impossible for anyone to leave this place before that. Unless, that person was able to ignore the protection of the lightning pillars outside.
They did not believe that Xiao Yan would be able to withstand those lightning pillars. After all, just a single Mu Han was enough to make him go all-out. Yet, those lightning pillars could easily kill Mu Han.
Since there was no such reason, the only explanation that could explain why they were unable to find Xiao Yan was:
Death.
