334: Extreme joy brings sorrow, black magic thunder crisis

It was understandable that the three of them dared not act rashly and decided to investigate in secret.

And this was exactly what Zhu Li and the other East Dragon Island residents hoped to see.

Although Zi Yan had awakened the Dragon Emperor Bloodline, the time was too short for her to fully digest it, so her strength had not yet reached its peak.

“I didn’t expect to mess things up.”

Understanding the full story, Lin Xiu didn’t expect there to be such a ripple effect.

Zhu Li also didn’t expect this scene to unfold and said from the bottom of his heart, “Mr. Lin is indeed the lucky star of my East Dragon Island.”

“Where is Zi Yan? Did she go into seclusion?”

Lin Xiu asked.

“Dragon Emperor has the important task of unifying the entire Void Ancient Dragon on her shoulders, and time is indeed very pressing.”

Elder Zhu Li nodded, “Mr. Lin, are you leaving? I can give you a ride.”

“No rush, Elder Zhu Li, is there a place in the Ancient Dragon World where lightning energy is very abundant?”

Lin Xiu asked.

Elder Zhu Li was startled, thought for two seconds, “There is indeed one near East Dragon Island.”

“Can I trouble Elder to take me there?”

Lin Xiu remembered Xiao Yan had used this Thunder Pool for something.

“Mr. Lin is too polite. If there’s nothing else to prepare, we can depart now.”

Elder Zhu Li said cheerfully.

The two immediately set off.

Not long after.

At the end of a Void Realm, two figures flashed out.

As soon as he stabilized his body, Lin Xiu’s ears were filled with booming thunder.

In the empty space ahead, silver light bloomed and flashed continuously, as if it would never stop.

“Mr. Lin, this Void Thunder Pool has existed for many years. In the past, Void Ancient Dragons would come here to temper their Physical Body with the power of lightning.”

Elder Zhu Li’s gaze swept across the boundless Thunder Pool and landed on Lin Xiu beside him, “Are you planning to Cultivate with the lightning?”

Lin Xiu nodded gently upon hearing this, a hint of fervor in his eyes.

Such abundant lightning energy was enough for him to complete his plan.

Zhu Li caught Lin Xiu’s expression and quickly said, “Mr. Lin, you must remember not to go too deep into this Thunder Pool, otherwise it will be very dangerous.”

Seeing Lin Xiu look at him, he explained, “The Thunder Pool has existed for many years, and the lightning inside has now developed sentience, giving rise to some Thunder Beasts. They are numerous, and once surrounded by them, even a Dou Sheng would suffer a bit.”

To make Lin Xiu take it seriously, Zhu Li exaggerated the danger level inside.

In fact, the Thunder Pool would indeed cause some trouble for a Dou Sheng, but it wouldn't be a threat.

“Thank you for the reminder, Elder. I am confident.”

Lin Xiu cupped his hands.

“Mr. Lin, then you may go. I will wait for you outside.”

Elder Zhu Li said.

Hearing this, Lin Xiu felt he wouldn’t be out for a short time, “No need, Elder Zhu Li. East Dragon Island still needs you to guard it. It’s enough that you’ve brought me here.”

“But…”

Zhu Li fell into hesitation. Lin Xiu’s words resonated with him, but what if something happened to Lin Xiu here?

He was the one who brought him, so he would definitely be blamed.

“It’s really fine, Elder Zhu Li. You’ve seen my strength with your own eyes, so don’t worry.”

Lin Xiu was preparing to go into the Thunder Pool to drag the Dean out. That old man didn’t want to meet the Void Ancient Dragon people.

So he wanted to send Elder Zhu Li away first.

Upon being reminded, Zhu Li also realized that in a one-on-one fight, if Lin Xiu used the Move he used that day, he might not necessarily be his opponent.

Thus, after a few words of caution, he turned and left.

Until Zhu Li’s figure was out of sight, Lin Xiu formed hand seals, replacing his own attributes with lightning. Lightning snakes appeared and moved across his body, face, hair, and even in his eyes.

After completing all this, Lin Xiu’s figure flashed and entered the Thunder Pool.

Suction was generated around his body, gathering the lightning power and then drawing it into his body.

In his Dantian, the lightning aperture glowed brightly, and its rotation speed suddenly accelerated.

Lin Xiu was like a moving black hole, carrying a huge vortex, walking towards the depths of the Thunder Pool.

A large amount of lightning moved around his body, and the color of his skin gradually turned silver, while his hair also began to change from black to silver.

As he went deeper, the color of the surrounding lightning also slowly changed.

What was originally just brilliant silver gradually transformed into black.

“Colored Medicinal Pill Thunder has appeared. For now, I’ll slow down here.”

Lin Xiu’s eye sockets were completely filled with lightning, and lightning snakes frantically rushed through his body, bringing faint pain.

However, there was also a force following behind, quickly repairing this injury.

This was one of Lin Xiu’s many Fighting Skills that used lightning to temper the body.

“Once I adapt to this stage, I can try the Black Demon Lightning.”

When Lin Xiu mentioned this name, his tone couldn't help but become a bit more serious. This kind of lightning was the thunder punishment that would only be attracted when a Nine-Rank Medicinal Pill was successfully refined.

However, having experienced the thunder punishment of controlling the Guiyuan Forbidden Extinction Method before.

He didn’t feel any fear towards the Black Demon Lightning.

An endless stream of lightning flowed into his body, and the energy within the lightning aperture became increasingly rich, even causing the color of the lightning aperture to change.

The original energy Rank of the lightning aperture was only at the Eighth-Rank demonic core level, but now it was gradually transforming towards the Ninth-Rank.

Lin Xiu absorbed for a while, then began to approach the Black Demon Lightning.

As soon as he touched it, that violent energy, different from before, surged wildly through his body.

“Hiss, this taste, it’s really exhilarating!”

Lin Xiu’s teeth chattered slightly.

Among the many protagonists he had read about in novels, Xiao Yan was the one he envied the least.

On his path to becoming stronger, he first experienced being burned by different fires, and later various lightning powers.

This kind of pain was not something ordinary people could endure.

“I remember now, Xiao Yan was already a Dou Sheng when he absorbed the Black Demon Lightning, and he planned to use the Black Demon Lightning to Breakthrough to the Five-Star Dou Sheng Late Stage.”

Baptized by the lightning, Lin Xiu felt his mind clear up a lot, and many memories awakened.

Facing the increasingly gathering Black Demon Lightning, Lin Xiu no longer wanted to absorb it.

If this continued, these terrifying energies, enough to help a Dou Sheng Breakthrough, would definitely burst him alive.

However, the next second, Lin Xiu realized that the situation was not as easy as he thought.

All the Black Demon Lightning was converging now, and if he didn’t maintain his lightning state.

The next second, he would be engulfed by these Black Demon Lightning and then blasted into nothingness.

But if he continued to absorb, the Black Demon Lightning would gather more and more, and he had no way to Move outward.

A dead end!

Lin Xiu reacted, only then realizing that he had actually put himself in a fatal situation.

Either be burst by the energy, or be detected by the Black Demon Lightning and blasted to death.

“Damn it, no way… I really didn’t want to end it so soon.”

Lin Xiu hadn’t felt such heart-pounding fear in a long time, frantically searching through all his Fighting Skills, hoping to find a solution.

But the Black Demon Lightning gathered more and more, already severely affecting the movement of space.

Even trying to escape using speed was difficult.

“If all else fails, I’ll just risk it.”

Looking at the increasing Black Demon Lightning, Lin Xiu really couldn’t absorb any more, yet he couldn’t stop.

Just as Lin Xiu was preparing to put himself in a desperate situation to find a way out, a soft exclamation suddenly drifted from afar.

A white-haired old man appeared in the distance, followed by a pile of lightning creatures.

He looked extremely disheveled, his robes scorched and riddled with holes, as if he had encountered something terrible.

Mang Tianchi had explored the Thunder Pool for a long time and found the Nine Heavens Profound Lightning in its depths, intending to use it as an aid for Cultivation.

But that part of the lightning had developed sentience and wouldn’t allow him to approach.

After years of mutual struggle, he finally decided to leave.

However, he didn’t expect that the Thunder Pool, which had not shown any anomalies for a long time, would exhibit a strange phenomenon today.

He looked over and saw a humanoid figure inside, and couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
