As everyone watched, another loud thunderous roar resounded across the sky from within the dark clouds.
A silver lightning bolt, as wide as a millstone, tore through the sky with a crackling sound, like a silver dragon.
"So strong!" Xun'er's pretty face immediately became solemn. The power of this pill thunder was several times stronger than before.
These puppets probably haven't had time to absorb it, right? I wonder if they can still withstand it?
The moment the terrifying lightning appeared, Xiao Yan naturally knew that it had exceeded the puppets' maximum endurance.
Clenching his hand suddenly, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed, instantly increasing the scorching temperature of the flames around the pill.
Immediately, Xiao Yan slightly bent his knees, and with a "bang," he shot up like a rocket, using that impact force to violently charge towards the giant silver lightning bolt.
The reason this lightning was so terrifying wasn't just because a terrifying pill had been refined; the changes in his cultivation method also affected the environment, creating a celestial phenomenon.
It was just that the scene of the pill thunder appearing was too grand, and no one else knew about it except Xiao Yan.
Of course, since his cultivation method had only advanced to the quasi-Heaven rank, its influence on the celestial phenomenon was not as significant as the pill's.
Seeing Xiao Yan confront it head-on in such a manner, Xue Ni and Xiao Yu exclaimed in unison.
Xiao Yan's strength was only at the Dou Huang level. Could he possibly be stronger than those Dou Zong level puppets?
Leaping into mid-air, Xiao Yan's back hummed, and he instantly manifested Dou Qi wings.
At the same time, the terrifying lightning, with a loud roar, struck Xiao Yan's body.
The huge silver lightning slowly disintegrated under everyone's gaze.
At the moment of its collapse, everyone was horrified to discover that black spatial cracks, like spiderwebs, appeared around Xiao Yan. Everyone couldn't help but gasp.
The silver lightning disintegrated, but Xiao Yan's body remained as unmoving as a bedrock.
In addition to cultivating Dou Qi and nurturing his soul, he had also been continuously strengthening his physical constitution.
Especially with numerous Heavenly Flames within his body, and being an excellent alchemist himself, he had superior conditions compared to others in terms of improving his physical constitution.
With long-term persistence, Xiao Yan's physical constitution was far stronger than that of the surrounding puppets.
Even the puppets whose strength had reached the Dou Zong level were no exception.
Under the bombardment of this powerful lightning, the benefits of Xiao Yan's fusion with the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame were fully unleashed at this moment.
The power of the lightning was incomparably domineering, instantly piercing through Xiao Yan's limbs and bones.
Its terrifying might immediately caused Xiao Yan's meridians to wrinkle and appear charred black.
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably need a long period of recovery, but for Xiao Yan, who possessed the Three Thousand Burning Flame, it was nothing.
As the lightning damaged Xiao Yan's meridians, the Three Thousand Burning Flame's terrifying recovery effect, which granted an 'undying body', immediately began to manifest.
After the lightning's baptism, Xiao Yan's meridians were not only widened but also became even more astonishing.
Along with the spread of the lightning, some of the energy contained within the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame in his Dou Qi vortex was released.
Xiao Yan's cultivation method rapidly circulated, quickly absorbing this pure energy, and his own strength broke through at a visible pace.
Just then, Xiao Yan suddenly perceived something.
On the Heavenly Flame Ranking, there was a Heavenly Flame related to lightning, which was the Nine-Dragon Thunder Gang Fire.
This Heavenly Flame was entirely silver, and as the flames surged, nine silver fire dragons could faintly be seen moving through the flames.
Within the Heavenly Flame, dragon might condensed, thus it also possessed the miraculous effect of deterring souls.
For him, who had created soul skills like "Plowing Spirit" that had a natural counter-effect on souls, merely achieving soul deterrence was too simple.
If enough lightning power were gathered, it would not be difficult to condense a Nine-Dragon Thunder Gang Fire of considerable power.
Xiao Yan frowned. Just as he was about to put it into practice, the lightning power on his body was already getting weaker.
Looking up, Xiao Yan then realized that the heavy dark clouds in the sky had completely stopped rolling and were rapidly thinning.
Beams of bright light penetrated through the dark clouds, transforming into countless specks of light that shone into the valley below.
As the sunlight poured down, the Breaking Barriers Golden Pill in the valley slowly retracted its dazzling light, internalizing it within the pill.
Seeing the pill thunder dissipate, everyone present finally breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the nine figures in the sky with immense shock.
Especially at the young man whose black robes were somewhat tattered.
"Little brother Xiao Yan, are you alright?" Hai Bodong was truly too shocked to know what to say and quickly walked towards Xiao Yan, who was rapidly descending.
Aside from the quality of his clothes being a bit poor, Xiao Yan himself hadn't sustained any harm; instead, his strength had even increased by one star.
This was also a miraculous effect of the Fen Jue cultivation method's general outline, which allowed for a leap in strength in a short period through the fusion of Heavenly Flames.
Xiao Yan slightly shook his head and raised his hand to retract the increasingly mighty puppets in the sky into his Bone Spirit Ring.
This time, the harvest was indeed quite considerable.
The sublimation secret method had been applied, and the strength of many puppets had been greatly improved. Furthermore, it even provided the idea for condensing the Nine-Dragon Thunder Gang Fire, ranked twelfth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.
Next, the evolution of Queen Medusa and the refinement of the Heaven Replenishing Pill would also involve the appearance of lightning.
The condensation of the Nine-Dragon Thunder Gang Fire was almost within reach.
Of course, there was one more thing, and that was the seventh-grade high-level pill before them.
After putting away the puppets, Xiao Yan raised his hand and grasped towards the distant flames.
The chaotic flames seemed to be absorbed by the pill. As the flames disappeared, a golden, round pill was revealed.
The moment this pill was freed from the restraint of the flames, it instantly transformed into a golden flash of lightning and soared towards the sky.
From its appearance, it was clear that it wanted to escape.
Pills that reached this level would also develop a trace of spirituality, understanding how to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.
As long as there was an opportunity, it would try its best to escape.
Xiao Yan flexed his five fingers, and a powerful suction surged, instantly pulling back the pill that had not yet fully exerted its power, and quickly placed it into a high-quality jade bottle.
"The pill, I'll give it to you." Xiao Yan casually tossed it to Hai Bodong.
Holding the jade bottle in his hand, Hai Bodong finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he looked at Xiao Yan with a solemn expression, cupped his fists, and said in a deep voice, "Little brother Xiao Yan, thank you very much. This kindness, this old man remembers."
"This is the other part of that incomplete map." Hai Bodong quickly offered the incomplete map that Xiao Yan wanted.
Xiao Yan smiled and put the incomplete map into his Bone Spirit Ring: "The environment here is secluded, Elder Hai can immediately open a cave and consume it. The freshly refined pill has the best medicinal effect."
