Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
This vast thundercloud, after condensing into form, finally began to unleash its terrifying power of destruction.
Within the heavy layers of cloud, dazzling lightning exploded downward like a five-colored thunder waterfall pouring from the sky. Blinding light flickered, illuminating the entire Pill Gathering Plaza as bright as day.
When the thunder waterfall reached mid-air, it seemed to pause slightly, then suddenly split in two and shifted direction. Instead of striking the two pills below, it shot straight toward Wei Yang and the Earth Demon Puppet in mid-air.
Zzzzt~
Facing lightning of this magnitude, even Wei Yang dared not be careless. He clenched his fist and struck out.
Rumble~
The void collapsed inch by inch.
On the other side.
Clang~
Bolts of lightning carrying terrifying destructive force poured down like a violent rainstorm onto the body of the Earth Demon Puppet. Instantly, a crisp metallic clang echoed through heaven and earth.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Under such a barrage of thunder, the bodies of Wei Yang and the Earth Demon Puppet were simultaneously blasted downward again and again.
All around, the space itself, under this thunderous assault, split into patches of pitch-black void. The entire world turned chaotic and boiled over!
Endless lightning exploded, carrying a terrifying power of destruction, rampaging through the sky without pause.
"What terrifying lightning!"
Seeing the jagged black cracks spreading across the void, everyone's expressions changed.
Watching Wei Yang and the Earth Demon Puppet grow stronger instead of weaker amid the thunderstorm, many sharp-eyed experts noticed that under this bombardment, the aura faintly emanating from Wei Yang and the Earth Demon Puppet was gradually becoming even more powerful.
Below, a deeper smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face. He could see that as more and more lightning power poured into the Earth Demon Puppet, the golden sheen on its body surface was increasing.
"Almost there!"
Unable to resist, he lightly licked his lips, a trace of anticipation flashing in his dark eyes.
As long as the Earth Demon Puppet used this Pill Lightning to complete its transformation and evolve into a Sky Demon Puppet, he would gain an ally of Dou Zun strength.
The thundercloud pressed heavily over the sky. The majestic heavenly might filled heaven and earth. The continuous peals of thunder left many people's ears numb.
Today, they had seen enough Pill Lightning to last a lifetime.
What baffled them most was that such terrifying Pill Lightning still could not harm Wei Yang or that puppet. This made them wonder whether the true power of Pill Lightning had been exaggerated.
Of course, that doubt vanished when they saw the collapsing black voids around Wei Yang and the Earth Demon Puppet.
Obviously, power that could shatter the void would reduce most present to dust. The merged Pill Lightning was undoubtedly extremely terrifying. That thunder-waterfall-like onslaught lasted nearly half an hour.
Half an hour later.
This section of the sky had been completely ravaged by the brilliant lightning. Along with it, everyone's eyes and ears were thoroughly tormented.
After this half-hour baptism of Pill Lightning, the Dou Qi within Wei Yang's body had almost completely transformed.
On the other side, the Earth Demon Puppet—its body once covered in dazzling silver—now had more than half of its body turned a brilliant gold.
Then—
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Pill Lightning continued its unwilling rampage for another ten minutes or so before finally giving up on these two unyielding targets.
The thundercloud rolled and the energy within it gradually weakened. That thick, oppressive cloud slowly dispersed under countless gazes.
Sunlight began to pour down, bringing warmth.
The Pill Lightning had completely vanished.
Heaven and earth returned to clarity.
Only the faint lingering chaotic ripples told of what had just occurred. In mid-air, Wei Yang stood upon the void, bathed in sunlight, eyes closed. The tattered purple alchemist robe he'd worn was gone, replaced by a black robe embroidered with golden patterns.
The aura around him was faint, subtle, almost like that of an ordinary man with no cultivation. Only his long hair, flowing in the wind like blood-red flames, and the faintly glowing blood-sun sigil on his forehead inspired involuntary awe.
A moment later—
When he opened his eyes—two scarlet beams, like laser light, shot straight out from his pupils. A strange and domineering aura spread out from his body.
Whoosh~
He exhaled a long breath of turbid air. The crimson glow in his eyes slowly faded away.
"So this is Dou Zun? Compared to before, it's countless times stronger!" Feeling the overwhelming, surging power inside him, Wei Yang couldn't help but let a faint smile curl his lips.
Dou Zun and Dou Zong—though only a single character apart—were truly worlds apart.This breakthrough… the gains were simply immense. Wei Yang brought his palms together and clenched his fists.
Boom!
The space around his fist shattered instantly, unable to withstand his strength. And that was merely him casually squeezing with pure physical power.
After this baptism of Pill Lightning, his physical body had grown several times stronger than before. The Hou bloodline within him had also thickened severalfold.
As for his Dou Qi, upon stepping into Dou Zun, its intensity too had soared many times over. His overall strength was more than ten times greater than before the breakthrough!
Such a tremendous leap owed much to the Hou bloodline. Now that he had crossed into Dou Zun, he could truly be counted among the second echelon of the entire continent.
The whole venue fell silent.
Under countless gazes, Wei Yang calmed his mind and took a single step forward.
Swish!
The space before him rippled slightly, and his figure vanished. In the next instant, he flickered and appeared on the stone platform below.
"Congratulations, Brother Wei."
"Congratulations, Master."
"Congratulations, Brother Yang."
On a nearby stone platform, Xiao Yan, Ah Da, and Xian'er all smiled broadly, cupping their fists in sincere celebration for Wei Yang.
"Thank you." Wei Yang smiled and nodded, his mood clearly stirred.
Anyone whose strength had skyrocketed more than tenfold in such a short time would find it hard not to feel excited. For Wei Yang, this was already remarkable restraint.
Of course, outsiders only knew that Wei Yang had stepped into the Dou Zun realm; they had no idea how dramatically his true power had leapt.
At that moment—
The Earth Demon Puppet, its entire body now pure gold, stomped a foot. Space twisted, and with a hiss it appeared before Xiao Yan. Then, like the most loyal of guardians, it stood silently at his side.
Wei Yang and the others turned their eyes toward the golden Earth Demon Puppet. They could faintly sense that this puppet's strength had undergone a complete transformation. Now, this puppet had evolved into a genuine Sky Demon Puppet!
"It finally succeeded?"
Xiao Yan's gaze burned as he stared at the Sky Demon Puppet before him, his hand lightly pinching its golden skin.
What he felt was surprisingly unlike the previous hard texture; instead it was much softer to the touch.
Noticing this change, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow and flicked a finger. A four-colored flame condensed between his fingers into a dagger shape, which he then slashed across the Sky Demon Puppet's golden skin.
Hiss~
As the flame dagger sliced across, they were all startled to see that it left only a faint white mark on the skin. And in the blink of an eye, that white mark vanished on its own.
"What terrifying defense!"
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.
Xiao Yan drew a sharp breath, his eyes burning as he stared at the Sky Demon Puppet before him.
After so many years of cultivation and refinement, the puppet he had personally created had finally evolved to its highest level.
With this death-defying, nearly indestructible Sky Demon Puppet at his side, he now possessed yet another life-saving trump card.
The group exchanged glances and all smiled faintly. This Pill Gathering had truly brought them tremendous rewards.
