Within the pitch-black Lightning Pool of the Void, Xiao Yan was currently sitting cross-legged within a narrow space covered by countless pitch-black lightning bolts. His aura was completely contained within his body. He was like a dragon hidden in the abyss, continuously accumulating power.
Following the unceasing circulation of the Martial Technique within his body, frightening lightning bolts were absorbed by Xiao Yan's body one after another. Immediately after, under the refinement of the Heavenly Flame, they turned into pure energy and poured into the vortex space within Xiao Yan's body, adding fuel to the fire for Xiao Yan's breakthrough.
Following such a long period of refinement and absorption, Xiao Yan's strength was also slowly climbing. He was only waiting for the right time to complete his breakthrough in one go.
… …
This process of devouring and refining lasted for a total of half a year. This half a year was also the time when the people outside of the Lightning Pool of the Void left.
During this half a year, Xiao Yan was still immersed in his crazy training. Compared to when he had just entered the Lightning Pool of the Void, his strength was many times stronger.
Until a certain moment, the energy that was unceasingly accumulating within Xiao Yan's body finally erupted like a volcano. The instant Xiao Yan opened his eyes, the energy turned into a surging flood of Dou Qi. Like wild horses that had escaped their reins, they wantonly galloped within Xiao Yan's body.
The invisible barrier within Xiao Yan's body also emitted a 'bang' and burst apart.
Immediately, following the pouring of Dou Qi, the aura within Xiao Yan's body rapidly soared. It was like a river that had broken through a dam. In a short few breaths' time, Xiao Yan's strength had completely broken through the shackles of a Three Star Half Martial Emperor and successfully advanced to a new level.
Four Star Half Martial Emperor!
"Huuu … …"
Carefully sensing the changes in the aura within his body, Xiao Yan could not help but exhale a mouthful of turbid air that had been suppressed in his chest. The exhausted expression on his face rapidly disappeared and his heart became relaxed.
"Ah, so this is a Four Star Half Martial Emperor … …"
Xiao Yan lightly clenched his fist, and the Dou Qi in his body quickly condensed in the center of his palm. As Xiao Yan closed his hand, it gradually dissipated.
With a gentle twist of his wrist, Xiao Yan's palm swung out in a lightning-like manner. This palm did not contain the slightest bit of Dou Qi. However, just by relying on its momentum, the instant this palm was thrown out, the empty space in front of Xiao Yan was suddenly compressed into a basketball-sized invisible air cannon. Following a sharp ear-piercing explosion, the black-colored thunderbolts within a couple of feet in front of Xiao Yan were scattered by this attack.
"Is this the power of a four star Half Martial Emperor? Sure enough, it's different from that of a three star Half Martial Emperor. Furthermore, after being tempered by the lightning for the past half year, it seems that my body has become much stronger than before."
Muttering in a low voice, Xiao Yan's eyes stared at the small space above his palm. His five fingers slowly spread open, allowing his various nerves to relax as much as possible.
At a certain instant, Xiao Yan's expression suddenly turned ruthless. At the same time, a frightening force abruptly gathered in his relaxed palm. Immediately after, his five slender fingers were like guillotines that were instantly retracted. Bringing along a frightening wind that tore through space, they fiercely clenched together with a loud bang.
"Bang!"
The empty space around Xiao Yan's hand suddenly burst apart the moment his five fingers were tightly clenched. A muffled thunder-like explosion spread. This frightening force was likely something that even some of the Ban Di class Magical Beasts, who were renowned for their powerful physical bodies, would have difficulty matching.
"Huff … … this feeling is truly not bad. Ah, with the current strength of my physical body, I'm afraid that even a three star Half Martial Emperor would be able to fight against him with my physical body!"
Xiao Yan lightly grinned. Tempering one's body through pain was indeed the fastest way to grow.
Withdrawing his gaze, Xiao Yan's expression was relaxed as he turned his gaze towards the other two directions.
The Northern King was still weaving through countless terrifying pitch-black lightning bolts. Compared to the beginning, the Northern King was much more proactive now.
Any lightning bolt that came within ten feet of the Northern King would be blasted apart by the Northern King in the most violent manner possible with a single punch. Then, the Northern King would press forward and absorb the lightning energy into his body. The Northern King's aura also became more and more tyrannical.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile and nod. The Northern King's strength also gave Xiao Yan more confidence when traveling outside. After all, this world only recognized strength. The weak could only be trampled on by others. Only strength could make others take you seriously.
Of course, as long as you were strong enough, those fellows wouldn't care about the origin or ownership of that strength. However, the prerequisite was that you had to have that strength.
… …
When Xiao Yan shifted his gaze away from the Northern King and looked at Xiao Jin on the other side, his calm face involuntarily twitched. The way he looked at Xiao Jin was as though he was looking at a monster.
At this moment, Xiao Jin was lazily entrenched in the void. Under its special pressure, the streaks of black lightning seemed to have received some kind of order and actually lined up strangely. As Xiao Jin opened and closed its mouth, they automatically jumped into Xiao Jin's mouth one after another.
It looked like a monarch receiving offerings from his subjects. It was especially eye-catching.
"This …"
Xiao Yan's face twitched as he was stunned. In the past half a year, he had suffered a lot in order to refine the lightning.
Not only did Xiao Yan have to endure the terrifying power of the lightning, which was unbearable for ordinary people, he also had to suppress the violent nature of the lightning while refining and absorbing it. Although it seemed simple, the pain was something that only Xiao Yan could understand.
After all, the lightning bolts were something that even someone like Mu Han would be afraid of. Although they wouldn't take the initiative to attack after being intimidated by Xiao Jin, their passive resistance was still quite powerful.
However, Xiao Jin was currently belittling the strength that Xiao Yan had obtained through endless pain as if it was just a game. This was a huge blow to Xiao Yan's heart.
When Xiao Yan focused his gaze, his dark black pupils suddenly shrunk. The expression on his face was clearly startled. Following which, he frowned slightly. He couldn't help but feel astonished by the scene in front of him.
As Xiao Jin continued to swallow, Xiao Yan realized that some cuticle like Dou Qi crystals had appeared on the surface of Xiao Jin's body. These crystals gradually spread from Xiao Jin's tail. The speed at which they spread was based on the speed at which Xiao Jin swallowed the lightning. Clearly, this was a sign that Xiao Jin was about to fall into a deep slumber.
"From the looks of it, Xiao Jin will likely fall into a deep slumber for a period of time soon."
Xiao Yan's gaze looked at Xiao Jin. His gaze occasionally looked at the golden cuticle that was spreading across Xiao Jin's body at an extremely slow speed as he muttered softly.
At the same time, a pretty little girl that looked like she was carved from jade involuntarily appeared in Xiao Yan's mind.
Back then, Zi Yan had also experienced such a situation. Of course, things were different now. He didn't know how long Xiao Jin would fall into a deep slumber this time around.
Xiao Yan gently shook his head. He returned to his senses and rested for a moment. A thought passed through his mind and an avatar sat cross-legged opposite of Xiao Yan.
