Chapter 171 Breakthrough to Dou Wang
Thunderclouds filled the sky.
Deafening thunder echoed continuously through the desolate valley.
A thick bolt of lightning struck, its flashes illuminating the dark valley intermittently.
Outside the valley, however, a burst of intense, dazzling silver-white light erupted, dispelling the surrounding darkness and becoming exceptionally conspicuous.
This intense light emanated from a dazzling ball of light.
The surrounding lightning seemed to be drawn to this ball of light, constantly deviating from its direction of impact and heading straight for this spot.
It landed on the ball of light, making a hissing sound like electricity. After flowing around the ball of light for a moment, it fell down drop by drop, as if it were liquid.
Flowing onto the ground, this liquid, containing incredibly pure lightning energy, has already gathered into a pool of liquid about one meter square.
As it flowed, it shimmered with a metallic sheen, and arcs of lightning constantly leaped across it.
Above the lightning liquid, within the shimmering ball of light, a figure with closed eyes, his entire body filled with silver-white lightning, even his hair and eyebrows turned silver-white.
The entire figure looked like a human-shaped lightning bolt!
This figure of light and shadow is Xiao Bai, who has been cultivating in Thunderfall Valley for several months.
His blood and qi surged, filled with intense lightning power. He slowly opened his eyes, and two beams of silver-white lightning suddenly shot out from his pupils.
His once clear, deep eyes were now completely filled with silver, radiating a strong light.
Just then, a bolt of lightning, its power raging and accompanied by a deafening roar, struck straight at them.
Xiao Bai's eyes flickered slightly, but his face remained expressionless in the face of this lightning strike, which was comparable to the attack of a peak Dou Wang.
The silver-white palm slowly rose, colliding fiercely with the lightning that was about to strike it.
"boom!"
After a loud bang, the lightning on the thunderbolt surged, carrying long arcs of electricity and hissing, as if it were unwillingly grasped by the silver hand.
He clenched his fingers, ignoring the streaks of silvery-white light that kept appearing on his arm, and crushed it. Drops of lightning liquid slid down from between his fingers, creating ripples on the ground.
"My physical body has reached its limit; it's time to break through to the Dou Wang realm!"
Feeling his body growing stronger, a deep, muffled murmur echoed beyond the empty valley.
After he finished speaking, Xiao Bai's body, which had only been surrounded by qi and blood power, began to show unusual energy fluctuations, and a powerful aura suddenly surged out from his body.
Seven Stars Fighting Spirit!
Eight-Star Battle Spirit!
Its aura continued to rise, reaching the Nine-Star Douling realm in a very short time, and it continued to climb upwards.
When his aura reached the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Ling realm, he slowly stopped. After a moment, a ripple of energy suddenly surged from Xiao Bai's body and spread outwards.
Finally, it crashed heavily against the valley wall, causing some loose stones to fall down.
Xiao Bai was not surprised at all by this scene. A month ago, his cultivation level had already reached the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Ling realm in this valley filled with dense lightning energy.
Instead of immediately breaking through, he stepped out of the corner where he had previously been sheltered and began to temper his body with lightning outside the valley.
It's good that Xiao Yi and the others aren't here, otherwise these guys would absorb the power of lightning, and the effect would be much weaker.
At first, he chose the place with the least lightning, and instead of using his fighting spirit to resist, he simply used his physical body to withstand the lightning. Every time, he was struck by lightning and his skin was torn open.
But he was physically strong, and his wounds healed quickly. After recovering, he continued working.
Previously, Xiao Yi and the others had also been constantly tempering his physical body and fighting spirit, but compared to them, it wasn't this brutal.
With this kind of brutal tempering, Xiao Bai dared to do it, and his body began to become like refined steel after being forged a hundred times.
From the place where the lightning was sparse at the beginning, we have come to this place where it is most concentrated.
The lightning outside this valley, which would threaten the life of any Battle King, is merely a tickle to his physical body!
With a thought, a faint fluctuation of the soul emanated, spreading out in all directions following some kind of unseen connection.
A moment later, the thick thunderclouds in the sky began to churn, and in the distance, four colors of light were rapidly approaching.
"Roar!" An excited dragon's roar overwhelmed the thunder in the valley and echoed in the air.
Four thunderclouds, dyeing the gray sky blue, red, yellow, and gold, hovered above Xiao Bai's head, adding a few unique touches of color to the entire valley.
"They're all so energetic!" Xiao Bai smiled as he sensed that the little ones' auras had surged and they were radiating a lively energy.
A flash of golden light appeared in the air, and a huge shadow loomed over.
"My lord, look at me, look at me! Aren't I majestic!" came an excited voice.
"Holy crap! What did you eat?"
Xiao Bai opened his eyes wide and looked at the enormous creature that was about ten feet tall in front of him. The dragon head that was originally small and cute had already begun to look ferocious. Its body was long and slender, with dragon scales shimmering with cold light. Its four powerful claws were almost bigger than him!
"I don't know! Xiao Yi and I were wandering around inside the thunderclouds when we suddenly smelled a very familiar scent. We followed the scent and found a small ball of lightning with a hint of black!"
The little golden dragon scratched its chin with its claws, its huge pupils filled with confusion, and continued:
"The surrounding lightning gathered around it, but seemed terrified, afraid to approach, as if it were their master, allowing the little black ball to absorb their lightning power. But as soon as I got close, the lightning scattered!"
"The little black ball seemed to want to run away when it saw me, but when I shouted 'Don't run!' it really stopped moving. I went closer, and it smelled so good that I couldn't resist swallowing it whole!"
"After that, I felt my body keep growing, and that's how it ended up!"
"!" Xiao Bai.
Damn it, could that little black ball be the Black Demon Lightning that Mang Tianchi brought out?
No. It shouldn't be the real Black Demon Lightning. The little golden dragon can't withstand the real Black Demon Lightning right now.
Only Mang Tianchi knows exactly what this thing is.
But this guy swallowed and digested other people's things. Who knows if Mang Tianchi will be furious?
Even if I were to encounter this again in the future, I wouldn't dare to ask!
That's a demigod!
"Forget it! We'll talk about it later!" Xiao Bai didn't blame the little golden dragon. After all, it had already been eaten, so there was no way to make it spit it out. What else could he do?
If I ever run into Dean Mang again, and it's something really important, I'll compensate him!
"Your size has increased, but why hasn't your aura changed much?" Xiao Bai carefully examined it with his soul power and, finding no problems, said with disdain.
"Hey, my lord, your eyes have turned white, and your eyesight isn't working well anymore?" The little golden dragon's face showed displeasure, and its voice rose as it said, "Didn't you see that my essence has become a little more abundant?"
"Heh." Xiao Bai sneered, "Yes! My source energy has grown stronger, which is perfect for me to cultivate my fighting techniques. Do you want me to dig some out for you?"
"Hehe. No, no," the little golden dragon grinned sheepishly, his mouth agape as he continued to flatter, "My lord is insightful and wise, truly a man of unparalleled talent."
"Alright!" Xiao Bai waved his hand, annoyed, and interrupted the somewhat arrogant dragon.
Ignoring it further, Xiao Bai waved his hand, and the four different colored thunderclouds in the sky began to churn slightly.
After several claps of thunder, the thunderclouds rapidly contracted, eventually transforming into four streams of light that swept down, circled around Xiao Bai once, and then merged into his body.
The four lightning bolts returned to their respective positions, and instantly the fighting energy within Xiao Bai's body began to boil.
The little golden dragon seemed to resonate with the surrounding energy, and began to stir restlessly as the fighting spirit within Xiao Bai's body circulated.
He muttered to himself, "Is he about to break through? I hope nothing goes wrong like last time! There's no one here to save me!"
"Get lost! You jinx!" Xiao Bai was speechless; this dragon was itching for a beating today.
Looking inward at his dantian, he saw that the burrs on the battle crystal had completely disappeared, and it was now perfectly round, no longer the sea urchin warrior it once was.
I'm currently reading the error-free version! This novel was first published on 6=9+Book_Bar.
The meridians within his body were incredibly spacious, crystal clear, and emitted a faint fluorescent glow, with silvery-white battle qi flowing rapidly within them.
As this fighting spirit circulated throughout his body, each time it returned to his dantian, Xiao Bai's aura spread outwards like water poured into a boiling oil pot.
The dense lightning-attribute energy around him seemed to have found an outlet, and with the suction force emanating from this aura, it continuously entered Xiao Bai's body through his pores.
The lightning bolts that kept falling from above seemed to be attracted, deviating from their path and striking him instead.
Xiao Bai remained completely still, as if a speck of dust had settled on him, ignoring it entirely.
This is one of the reasons why he needs to spend time strengthening his body; if he didn't take this step, he wouldn't be as relaxed and carefree as he is now.
Not to mention, a new type of lightning will arrive later!
The pool of lightning liquid left over from his body tempering on the ground beneath him also began to surge, and a ball of silvery-white liquid, shimmering with lightning arcs, spread upwards, enveloping Xiao Bai's entire body.
It continuously transforms into pure energy, surging into its body.
fast!
very fast!
Xiao Bai has broken through to the next major realm so many times, but never before has he felt so wealthy, as if he were swimming in an ocean of lightning-attribute energy.
Even without absorbing the energy through his cultivation technique, this energy would still propel him to break through the barrier of the Dou Wang realm.
But Xiao Bai did not do that. He allowed these energies to surge in, invading his meridians, flesh, and bones, constantly scouring them. In order to enter his dantian, he had to refine them through cultivation techniques!
Ignoring the excruciating pain caused by the energy erosion, Xiao Bai calmly refined the energy in his meridians. Each time the refined energy entered his dantian and rotated once in the vortex, the round fighting crystal at the center would shrink by one size.
As the battle crystal shrank, Xiao Bai slowly began to have a strange feeling. His battle qi was spreading out and interacting with the energy in the outside world.
A sense of energy closeness came over me, which was completely different from the feeling I usually had when I used my soul power to control it.
"So this is the feeling of being able to mobilize external energy at the Dou Wang realm!" Xiao Bai suddenly realized.
As time passed, the battle crystal slowly shrank in Xiao Bai's sight and eventually disappeared.
"Bang!"
A shattering sound seemed to echo in the void, and instantly the surrounding atmosphere changed.
The vortex of energy in his dantian became empty, no longer as bright and dazzling as before, filled with boundless energy. All the fighting spirit seemed to have mysteriously vanished.
Xiao Bai paid no attention. With a thought, streams of fighting spirit, like a flood, surged from all parts of his body, instantly filling all his crystal-clear meridians.
Upon reaching the Dou Wang cultivation level, the Dou Qi within the body no longer surges out from the Qi vortex as before, but rather from various parts of the body.
"You broke through so quickly?" The little golden dragon exclaimed in surprise, sensing the power of the Battle King and the even more powerful aura than before.
Compared to the last breakthrough to the Dou Ling realm, this is way too fast!
"Hurry up!" Xiao Bai shook his head and looked at his silvery-white skin. This was the thunderous power that had accumulated in his body during his previous body tempering, which he had not yet used for this breakthrough.
I was too cautious before and made too many preparations, so this breakthrough felt somewhat like a natural progression.
His eyes flashed, his shoulders trembled slightly, and his fighting spirit surged out from his body along a strange meridian route.
"Boom!"
A silvery-white light emanated from it, and a pair of wings, with a slight pulsation of lightning, shot out from behind it. The wings, about ten feet long, meandered into a slender arc, magnificent and noble.
"Wings of Battle Aura. I've finally reached this point through sheer strength!"
Xiao Bai tilted his head slightly, examining the silver-white wings behind him. In the past, because of his flying combat skills, many people mistakenly thought he was a Dou Wang (Battle King).
But from this moment on, they no longer need to misunderstand!
He, Xiao Bai, can also transform his battle qi into wings through his own strength!
After admiring it for a moment, Xiao Bai folded his wings and calmed his mind in his sea of consciousness.
Looking at that ancient talisman, which was unchanged from the past, as if it had existed since time immemorial.
Xiao Bai was momentarily lost in thought. Who made this talisman? Why was he chosen? And what was the purpose of coming here?
Too many questions filled my mind, and since I couldn't find the answers, I could only keep them to myself.
As Xiao Bai's thoughts were swirling, the patterns on the talisman began to glow faintly, their depths profound and mysterious. They were clearly visible, yet impossible to memorize.
Thinking of the Taoist talismans from his previous life, Xiao Bai tried to imitate the runes on them using a beast hide. He remembered them clearly in his mind, but after his mind returned, he couldn't remember anything. The image of the runes in his mind was completely blank.
After trying various methods and failing repeatedly, he had no choice but to give up in despair.
His hopes for a barrage of talismanic attacks were dashed!
Just then, a faint black light began to appear in one corner of the talisman, and dark arcs of lightning flickered and intertwined on this black light.
"It's here!" Xiao Bai's expression turned serious. He gathered his thoughts and stared intently at the flash of lightning.
The last time he suffered greatly from the Geng Metal Tribulation Lightning, it's unknown whether any unexpected situations will arise this time.
Under Xiao Bai's solemn gaze, a dark bolt of lightning erupted from the talisman, transforming into a streak of light in the sky above his sea of consciousness, heading straight for his kidneys.
