Amidst the roaring thunder, two unyielding figures stood in mid-air, shielding the newly born seventh-grade pill from the world-destroying lightning.
The Heavenly Demon Puppet truly lived up to its reputation as a powerful protective technique passed down from ancient times. Although extremely cruel, its power was incomparably immense. As the pill lightning subsided, both figures had each increased their star level by one, reaching the level of a six-star Dou Zong and a three-star Dou Zong respectively.
Furthermore, Tong Er, due to his lower level, even faintly approached the threshold of a four-star Dou Zong.
However, as the lightning gradually weakened, Lin Feng's gaze drifted, a flash of inspiration crossing his mind as he recalled his body-tempering technique, the "True Dragon Body Tempering Technique"!
"Many of the previous transmigrators have undergone tribulations to temper their bodies, and some have even been able to absorb the energy of these tribulations to break through to new heights," Lin Feng's gaze gradually burned with fervor, and he unconsciously swallowed.
"Now, the power of the pill lightning is gradually weakening, and after being weakened by the puppets, it is at most equivalent to a strike from a three-star Dou Zong. If we can bind it with the Five Elements Sealing Technique, and then use this violent pill lightning energy to temper our bodies, could we quickly improve our physical strength?"
Seeing that the pill lightning was about to disappear, Lin Feng no longer hesitated, quickly came to the side of the two puppets, and clapped his hands together.
"Five Elements Sealing Technique - Bind!"
His clasped hands slowly separated, and five-colored chains extended from the junction of Lin Feng's hands, quickly inserting into the bodies of the two puppets. As soon as they entered, a powerful suction force began to absorb all the pill lightning energy that they had not yet absorbed.
The result was that Lin Feng's aura, which was about to break through to the fourth-star Dou Zong realm, came
to an abrupt halt. If the puppet hadn't lacked intelligence, Lin Feng would have certainly received several eye-rolls. A Dan Lei attack equivalent to a three-star Dou Zong's strike would have been easy for Lin Feng to withstand at his current level, but now he had to control it within a confined space, which greatly increased the difficulty.
Violent lightning is inherently unrestrained, especially at such close range.
Therefore, after sealing all the remaining Dan Lei into the barrier in his palm, Lin Feng struggled to maintain his balance. He waved at the seventh-grade pill, which seemed to want to escape but lacked spiritual energy, and stored it in a jade bottle before returning to the secret chamber where he had just been in seclusion.
This scene stunned the people from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion who were rushing towards the scene. "Could it be that there are other refining steps besides pill lightning for seventh-grade pills?"
Lin Feng, back in his secret chamber, was naturally unaware of their thoughts and had no time to care. After all, what he held in his hand was lightning comparable to the full-force attack of a three-star Dou Zong, and it was extremely unstable.
If it were to explode carelessly at such close range, even with Lin Feng's physique at the level of a mid-level sixth-tier magical beast, he might still be seriously injured!
Of course, great danger often comes with great reward. Lin Feng stared intently at the lightning in his palm, which was being constantly tempered by the Five Elements Dou Qi, and whose violent energy was gradually diminishing.
"If I can fully absorb it, my physique will at least improve to the level of a top-tier sixth-tier magical beast. In fact, if I'm lucky, it's even possible to reach a physical body comparable to a seventh-tier magical beast!"
After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng shook his head to himself, feeling that he was being a bit greedy.
She had witnessed firsthand the difficulty of enhancing a magical beast's physical body through Zi Yan's experience. It's worth noting that because a magical beast
's physical body improves simultaneously with its cultivation level, while its combat power often surpasses that of a human of the same level, each advancement in cultivation level requires an extremely long time.
This leads to many magical beasts suppressing humans of the same level one year, only to have those humans eagerly offer their magical cores a few years later when they return!
Of course, this is just one possibility; there's also a high probability that the human will simply become a pile of excrement for the magical beast.
After circulating the Five Elements Battle Qi for about half an hour, it stopped. At this moment, Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, looked at the now less violent Pill Lightning before him, gritted his teeth, and swallowed it whole.
With a deafening "Boom !"
the pill lightning exploded violently as soon as it entered his body. This was because Lin Feng had deliberately preserved the pill lightning's paralyzing properties during the refining process; otherwise, the body-tempering effect would be greatly reduced!
"Bang!"
The pill lightning roamed erratically within his body, seemingly with only one purpose: to annihilate everything in its path. Wherever it passed, Lin Feng's flesh and blood were instantly charred by the extreme heat. Fortunately, he was prepared; he swallowed a sixth-grade healing pill, and his dead flesh and blood immediately regenerated.
This alternation of death and rebirth seemed to activate the life-giving energy contained within the pill lightning. It was no longer just about destruction; a strange energy was slowly released into Lin Feng's body.
Upon the appearance of this energy, every cell, flesh, bone marrow, and even his soul in Lin Feng's body felt an extreme thirst. Lin Feng did not resist this sensation, as he did not sense any harmful elements.
Moreover, the energy contained within this pill lightning could absolutely not possibly conceal any sinister or vicious curse energy. In Lin Feng's memory, there was a world called Immortal Ancient, where the lightning tribulation was indeed corrupted, but that didn't seem quite right either.
Shaking his head, he banished all these distracting thoughts, closed his eyes, and began to absorb the energy of the pill lightning with all his might, attempting to elevate his physical body to a level comparable to the peak of the sixth rank.
Inside the secret chamber, it seemed completely silent and dark, with only occasional terrifying electric shocks emanating from Lin Feng, who sat cross-legged, bringing a glimmer of light to the chamber.
Outside the secret chamber, the many elders of the Heavenly Serpent Palace who were waiting could only shake their heads helplessly.
"It seems Master Lin Feng will be in seclusion for quite some time again!"
"Indeed, otherwise, such a joyous occasion as successfully refining a seventh-grade pill would surely be celebrated grandly."
The
elders, chatting amongst themselves, gradually dispersed, leaving only the Heavenly Serpent Palace Master and the First Elder, along with a few others who were deeply versed in the Dou Zong realm or possessed exceptional insight.
"Palace Master, did you notice just now that Master Lin Feng actually sealed away the pill lightning energy at the end?"
"Yes, I saw that just now, and I imagine you all have similar questions."
The Heavenly Serpent Palace Master slowly stroked his beard, his tone ethereal, lost in thought.
"This situation is actually somewhat similar to a record I once read."
