Void Lightning Pool
Xiao Ming and Zi Yan walked through the pitch-black, ink-like sea of Black Demon Lightning.
Wherever they went, a thirty-meter python-like Black Demon Lightning coiled and twisted as they scattered and stood on either side of the path.
"Roar!"
A deafening roar suddenly echoed from deep within the Void Lightning Pool. The terrifying sound waves created ripples that spread across the area.
A strange pressure began to emanate from deep within, increasing in intensity the further they went. Eventually, the pressure was so strong that their footsteps came to an abrupt halt.
About a hundred meters in front of them, they saw a massive dragon-like creature, shimmering golden as if made of pure gold, meandering like a snake. Golden lightning bolts erupted from its body, scattering all around.
'Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning...'
Xiao Ming's eyes filled with satisfaction as he looked at the imposing lightning dragon in front of him.
The Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning only appeared in the world when a Ninth-Tier Golden Pill was refined.
Logically, he already had enough ability to refine a Golden Pill, so why didn't he refine the Golden Pill directly to attract the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, but instead run here?
The reason was that this Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning had reached a point where it was awakening a spirit, so it had more energy than an ordinary Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning.
Besides, why waste the opportunity to get some wild treasures?
The golden lightning dragon coiled up in the deepest part of the lightning pool had its eyes closed. Golden lightning arcs were constantly flickering on its body. A sense of destructive power silently emanated from it, causing the space to become extremely distorted.
Countless Black Demon Lightning were surrounding the golden lightning dragon from thousands of meters away. They formed a majestic scene, as if they were paying homage to their king.
"Xiao Ming, is this what we're looking for?"
Zi Yan couldn't help but feel a tinge of trepidation as she surveyed the scene. If one were to calculate it based on human ranks, this lightning dragon... one feared that it would probably be equivalent to a seven-star Dou Saint!
Her voice sounded particularly loud in this silent space. As a result, a large number of Black Demon Lightning suddenly turned like angry pythons and rushed towards them.
Seeing these Black Demon Lightning charging at them, Xiao Ming made a hand gesture and instantly dispersed them.
"Right, our target is that big guy. Don't make any rash moves later."
Zi Yan nodded obediently. At that moment, she noticed that deep within the lightning pool, the coiled golden lightning dragon with its eyes closed slowly began to open them. Lightning flashed and thunder roared in its pupils, as if the entire world was reflected in those massive dragon eyes.
"Xiao Ming, it's awake!"
Before she could finish speaking, the golden lightning dragon focused its gaze on the two of them. Its dragon mouth opened, and a massive golden lightning bolt about thirty meters long shot out at lightning-like speed. In the blink of an eye, it was almost right in front of them!
Xiao Ming remained calm. With a thought, an immense surge of soul power burst forth. He turned the golden lightning bolt into nothingness in an instant. Then, his soul power quickly spread out in all directions, creating a distorted soul domain that was even more terrifying than the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning, causing overwhelming pressure to permeate the area.
Seemingly subdued by Xiao Ming's intimidation, the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning ceased its movements, but it raised its head high and stared coldly at Xiao Ming.
However, Xiao Ming could discern that it wasn't showing hostility. Its eyes were empty, lacking any intelligence or emotion!
Unlike the Heavenly Flame, the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning was naturally powerful and could coalesce into a dragon form, but forming intelligence was a much more challenging task.
On this journey, Xiao Ming aimed to acquire the power of the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning in exchange for bestowing it with intelligence. This approach would allow him to obtain the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning in a more complete manner.
If he were to use brute force, the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning would inevitably resist, causing a considerable loss of lightning energy that would not be worth it.
Seeing that the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning's condition was relatively stable, Xiao Ming began to act.
His Emperor Realm soul, which had a strong affinity with the spiritual energy of the world, expanded. The surrounding spiritual energy began to continuously converge on the center of the lightning pool under his will.
In no time, the concentration of spiritual energy in this place had reached an astonishing level.
"Alright, let's withdraw for now."
After all this, Xiao Ming led Zi Yan out of the central area of the lightning pool until they could no longer see the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning.
"Xiao Ming, is this going to work?" Zi Yan was somewhat puzzled by his actions.
"Of course it will work. That Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning is on the verge of gaining intelligence, and awakening its spirit requires an abundance of spiritual energy. I've created the right conditions for it now, and these conditions are even better than when it gathers spiritual energy on its own. It's just a thoughtless lightning dragon, so how can it resist? Us withdrawing is only meant to confuse it."
"Once the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning awakens its spirit, it will enter an extremely weakened state, and at that point, it will be at my mercy," Xiao Ming said with a confident smile.
As expected, not long after their withdrawal, deep within the lightning pool, the colossal body of the golden lightning dragon exploded into massive lightning arcs, accompanied by a mournful dragon roar. The earth-shattering sound reverberated throughout the surrounding area, causing the Black Demon Lightning nearby to scatter in fright.
"That big guy couldn't hold back after all! Xiao Ming, you were absolutely right!" Zi Yan's eyes widened and her tone was filled with excitement.
Xiao Ming smiled and then returned with Zi Yan to their original position where they could better observe the condition of the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning.
Crack!
On the massive body of the golden lightning dragon, thunderstorms erupted incessantly.
The largest thunderstorm was about one-fifth the size of the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning's body. It was filled with the destructive power of the wildly surging golden lightning arcs. Faced with this internal backlash, even the mighty Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning could only struggle.
However, in the midst of its desperate struggles, the dragon's once emotionless and cold eyes slowly began to show signs of intelligence. This transformation gave it a more vivid appearance and made it seem less like an emotionless sculpture.
Watching this scene, both Xiao Ming and Zi Yan were astonished.
They hadn't expected the backlash when the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning gained intelligence to be so fierce. If this had happened when Xiao Ming first arrived at the lightning pool, a single thunderstorm could have cost him half his life.
However, as ruthless as it was, as long as it could endure this, it would likely become an incredibly terrifying existence in the future.
Boom! Boom!
As a certain intelligence gradually appeared in the eyes of the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning, the reaction within its body became more intense. A deep, thunderous explosion echoed continuously from within his body. Each terrifying explosion was painful to Xiao Ming as it seemed like a waste of energy. The intelligence in the eyes of the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning was also starting to dissipate from these many explosions.
"Woo!"
Perhaps sensing that the golden lightning dragon's energy had diminished somewhat, the countless Black Demon Lightning surrounding it emitted a strange sound with a hint of mourning. An immense number of Black Demon Lightning suddenly rushed towards the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning in a relentless manner.
Upon contact with the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning's body, countless Black Demon Lightning would transform into tiny black electric currents and invade its body. The violent explosions within the body of the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning gradually became less severe as they entered.
Under the relentless, self-sacrificing attack of these many Black Demon Lightning, the intelligence in the eyes of the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning became more and more concentrated. But at the same time, its body, which was originally as bright as gold, began to darken. The backlash was making it increasingly weaker...
