As the puppets ventured into the depths of the lightning pool, they immediately attracted the attention of some Black Demon Lightning.
The deafening roar of thunderbolts filled the air. The dense, ominous black lightning plasma filled with a destructive aura covered the puppets. The great commotion also attracted more Black Demon Lightning from within the Void Lightning Pool's depths.
Boom!
The thunderbolts struck the puppets, and the outcome was exactly what Xiao Ming had predicted. The intricate thunderbolt-covered puppets appeared to become black holes, greedily devouring the surging Black Demon Lightning.
The terrifying aura on their bodies rose at a visible rate that could be seen with the naked eye. If this happened outside, it would most likely alarm a lot of people.
After tempering them for a while, Xiao Ming discovered that the number of Black Demon Lightning was increasing. He summoned the puppets back to prevent them from being destroyed directly and allowed them to return to the area where they were active once the Black Demon Lightning subsided.
After repeating this process several times, Xiao Ming retrieved the three puppets when they reached the high-level Half-Saint stage. Then, with a single thought, he summoned his "Spirit."
Xiao Ming's main purpose for this trip was to increase his strength, and the puppets were only a side benefit.
The method of enhancing strength was to devour Black Demon Lightning. The energy contained within the Black Demon Lightning was immense compared to ordinary thunderbolts and naturally could be devoured.
However, ordinary people wouldn't think about devouring this type of thunderbolt. The Black Demon Lightning was too ferocious. Being hit by one, even if not killed, would be severely burnt. How could they be devoured?
Even if they could withstand the attack, the wild power of the thunderbolt wasn't easy to absorb. Trying to absorb it might even result in their meridians being severed.
Xiao Ming wanted to rely on the "Spirit" to absorb and convert them into pure energy. He hadn't even considered using his Qi Method to absorb them directly.
As soon as the "Spirit" emerged, it pulsed like a sprite. Coincidentally, a Black Demon Lightning the size of an arm inadvertently drifted towards them.
Right before Xiao Ming's eyes, it collided with the Spirit's body.
The "Spirit" could not be harmed by such a small Black Demon Lightning. However, upon contact, flames erupted on the Spirit's surface, and it swallowed the Black Demon Lightning whole.
Observing this scene, Xiao Ming recalled the "Spirit" back into his body.
Immediately, an extraordinarily pure energy surged out from the "Spirit," flowing through his body. As this pure energy coursed through his meridians and muscles, it induced a subtle tingling sensation.
Threads of electric-like energy quietly infiltrated, causing all the organs within Xiao Ming's body to burst forth with an unusually comfortable and joyful sensation.
'It really works,' Xiao Ming's lips curled into a slight smile.
He clenched his fist, and a strange force of attraction surged forth. The ten or so nearby Black Demon Lightning were pulled towards him as if swept by a gale.
Finally, the "Spirit" emerged from within him, transforming into a white dragon and swallowing them in one gulp.
After devouring about ten Black Demon Lightning in a single breath, arcs of black electricity flickered around the white dragon's body.
The "Spirit" then returned to his body, and an astonishingly pure and boundless force surged out of it, dispersing throughout his limbs and bones. Xiao Ming's cultivation realm gradually increased as the tingling sensation from the energy dissipated within his body!
'The results are better than I expected.'
'Just this process of devouring back and forth is a bit cumbersome. It's better to let the Spirit transport them directly from the empty space. There might be some loss, but it's not a big deal.'
Muttering to himself, Xiao Ming let the "Spirit" fly out, appearing above a group of Black Demon Lightning.
One after another, threads of pulling force emanated from it. The Black Demon Lightning targeted by it were like encountering an irresistible force; no matter how they struggled, they couldn't break free. In the end, they all fell into the Spirit's small body.
Sizzle!
As numerous Black Demon Lightning were swallowed into the Spirit's body, its surface flickered with arcs of black lightning. Those Black Demon Lightning that entered its body were rapidly refined by the Heavenly Flame contained within it at an incredibly fast pace, eventually turning into the purest energy and flowing within.
Xiao Ming floated cross-legged in the air as the "Spirit" devoured the Black Demon Lightning. Without warning, a sudden extremely pure and strong energy began to emerge within his body.
He calmed his mind and directed the energy to follow the Qi Method's circulation path. It gradually transformed into a dense Dou Qi that permeated every part of his body.
Xiao Ming appeared to vividly hear the countless cells within his body emitting a sound of longing and joy as the energy integrated into his body during this state of deep concentration.
The energy contained in just a single Black Demon Lightning here was enough to rival Xiao Ming's non-stop cultivation for an entire day!
The efficiency between these two methods couldn't even be compared. That was a true world of difference, and it was precisely why he had come to this lightning pool!
'If I could completely devour and absorb all the Black Demon Lightning here, not to mention the advanced three-star Dou Saint, I'm afraid reaching the advanced four-star Dou Saint wouldn't be a difficult task!'
As he cast a sidelong glance at the pervasive Black Demon Lightning in the depths of the Void Lightning Pool, his eyes narrowed slightly. A small smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
Soon after, he closed his eyes completely, starting to assimilate and absorb the increasingly rapid influx of potent energy within him.
...
Deep within the tranquil expanse of the Void Lightning Pool, thunderous roars echoed. Countless black lightning bolts, resembling gigantic pythons, whizzed and coiled around. The spectacle was overwhelming, with thunder filling the sky and a sea of lightning swirling. Before this magnificent scene, even a Dou Saint powerhouse would feel insignificant.
Within this sea of black lightning, there was a presence akin to a whirlpool. Black lightning bolts howled and entwined, tightly encircling that area.
However fierce their assaults, the area resembled a bottomless abyss; no matter how many Black Demon Lightning surged forth, they ultimately vanished in the blink of an eye amidst a flash of black light.
At the edge of the lightning pool, a figure sat cross-legged in midair. Occasional arcs of black lightning shot out from his skin, creating an enigmatic aura around the white-clothed youth.
The Void Lightning Pool was hidden within the vast expanse of the void, rarely visited by anyone. Even some occasional Dou Saint powerhouses who ventured here dared not easily enter.
Therefore, undisturbed, Xiao Ming's cultivation progressed exceptionally smoothly.
Time flew by during his cultivation. A month had quietly passed in the blink of an eye.
During this month, it was unknown how many Black Demon Lightning the "Spirit" had devoured. This immense and boundless consumption had significantly thinned the number of Black Demon Lightning in the lightning pool's depths.
Of course, after devouring such a massive quantity of Black Demon Lightning, both Xiao Ming and the "Spirit" reaped incredible benefits.
Xiao Ming not only advanced from the intermediate three-star Dou Saint to the advanced sub-stage, but he also reached the peak of it.
A rapid breakthrough to the four-star Dou Saint stage wasn't an impossible feat in the near future.
As for the "Spirit," its appearance remained pure white, but faint traces of black lightning arcs could be seen flickering inside. After devouring so many Black Demon Lightning, the Spirit's affinity for lightning greatly increased.
