Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

The terrifying black lightning has completely erupted. Since its birth from the Void Lightning Pool, it has never been so disregarded or provoked.

"Boom boom boom"

Thunder contains life and the power to create everything; however, before that lies endless destruction. In all the vastness of heaven and earth, no creature is unafraid of the power of thunder.

Imagine a vast, desolate land where all things thrive and countless magical beasts hunt indiscriminately. In this extraordinary world, there is no absolute food chain.

Only the strongest can enjoy everything.

But all of this was utterly powerless before the might of heaven and earth. A devastating bolt of lightning struck down, and after the lightning dissipated, only death remained!

The collective eruption of the Black Demon Lightning, capable of threatening even Dou Sheng powerhouses, must have been terrifying, as if countless Dou Sheng powerhouses were attacking together, causing the heavens and earth to collapse and space to crack involuntarily!

"Now, this is getting interesting!"

A soft laugh echoed deep within the Void Thunder Pool. It was almost unbelievable that life could exist in such a terrifying environment.

"Revolve the five elements of heaven and earth, refine!"

With a clap of his hands, a surge of powerful Five Elements Battle Qi energy erupted from Lin Feng's body. As the torrent of five-colored energy swirled around Lin Feng, the incoming Black Demon Lightning was assimilated!

Before Black Thunder could react, the vast torrent of energy transformed into a massive array, stretching endlessly, seemingly enveloping the entire Void Thunder Pool in an instant.

"roar"

From the five directions of heaven and earth, five colossal divine beasts slowly appeared.

Accompanied by the endless cutting aura of Geng metal, the divine beast White Tiger appeared, and with a long roar to the sky, streaks of black demonic lightning were torn apart.

From the vast ocean, ferocious beast claws extend, and endless, winding black serpents coil on the turtle's back, their terrifying bodies seemingly ready to devour everything in their path.

On a towering tree in the east, a sacred azure dragon coiled around it. In the south, a high mountain suddenly erupted with endless scorching magma, scorching the sky. The five divine beasts, as if they were real, stood on the great formation.

"That's incredible!"

Zhugong stood outside the Void Thunder Pool, gazing at the terrifying array with eyes full of amazement.

"At the late stage of the Seven Star Battle Saint realm, if such a powerful formation were unleashed, even if I were to enter the formation, I would likely be completely suppressed."

"Lin Feng has truly entered the pinnacle of the Dou Qi Continent!"

Within the Void Thunder Pool, Lin Feng stood in the center of the great formation, gazing at the formation that stretched for tens of thousands of feet. Endless divine power flowed freely, and it seemed that only the power of the five elements remained between heaven and earth.

"Excellent! Combining the essence of the Refining Heaven Ancient Array, and constantly comprehending it with the Bodhi Enlightenment Qi, the Five Elements Generation and Destruction Array has been completely perfected, becoming my ultimate technique!"

"roar"

Deep within the Void Thunder Pool, an enormous thunder dragon slowly opened its eyes and looked toward Lin Feng in the center of the formation, suddenly unleashing an endless roar.

Endless lightning power erupted from his body. In an instant, the terrifying golden lightning on his body exploded, and then he recovered in an instant.

Countless black lightning bolts seemed to sense their king's anger, and all gathered around him, swirling around him. Occasionally, some black lightning bolts sacrificed themselves and entered the huge lightning dragon's body.

"The power of lightning accumulated over thousands of years has become so immense. It seems that the weak spirit is no longer sufficient to suppress this vast energy. If it doesn't take form soon, it will likely explode in an instant, and the terrifying power would probably be difficult even for a nine-star Dou Sheng to withstand!"

Standing atop the void array, Lin Feng gazed at the thunder dragon formed from golden lightning, clicking his tongue in admiration, yet showing little concern.

In terms of energy alone, even he is no match for the terrifying Nine Profound Golden Thunder Dragon. However, the intelligent beings' use of energy is something that these ignorant creatures of heaven and earth cannot compare to.

"Only slightly weaker than Gu Yuan, a peak nine-star Dou Sheng? It seems that Xiao Yan's cultivation level in the original story was too low, so he didn't truly perceive the terrifying power of this Nine Profound Golden Thunder Dragon!"

"That's true. The newly born Nine Profound Golden Lightning has a certain chance of destroying a ninth-grade golden core comparable to a seven-star Dou Sheng."

"This thunder dragon has reached the point of transforming into human form. It is not a simple matter for a creature of heaven and earth to develop sentience. It requires a long period of time and various miraculous creations of heaven and earth."

Otherwise, even if they are fortunate enough to develop sentience, if they want to take human form, they will ultimately only face destruction!

Just like the Bodhi Ancient Tree in Lin Feng's mind, its existence over an unimaginable period of time, the power it accumulated at its peak was enough to strike a Dou Di, yet it still failed to take human form and could only give birth to simple intelligence.

Heaven is fair; the stronger the potential energy, the more difficult it is to take form. In this respect, ordinary magical beasts have the advantage.

"Boom!"

Noticing Lin Feng's gaze, the golden thunder dragon, which had been suffering greatly, became enraged. Its endless and majestic thunderous dragon breath shot towards him, reaching a size of hundreds or even thousands of feet.

Endless black lightning accompanied their king on his campaign, its black exterior and golden interior possessing terrifying power enough to destroy even a six-star Dou Sheng level expert in an instant!

"Northern Black Tortoise, vast ocean, suppress!"

The calm ocean was suddenly stirred up into towering waves thousands of feet high. As the terrifying waves swept across, turtles and snakes roared in unison, and terrifying thunder was instantly submerged.

"Buzz"

Such terrifying energy could not even cause a ripple in the face of the Five Elements Generation and Destruction Array. The array slowly rotated and began to refine the lightning that was suppressed in the vast ocean phenomenon.

After multiple transformations, it formed pure energy that entered Lin Feng's body.

"Shu Chang, you're one step closer to becoming an Eight-Star Dou Sheng!"

Feeling the energy within his body increase slightly again, Lin Feng's face lit up with joy. "It seems that this Thunder Dragon is the greatest help I will truly gain in ascending to the top of the Dou Qi Continent!"

"Tap, tap, tap"

Stepping into the void, Lin Feng arrived in front of the enormous thunder dragon, which was so large it almost covered the entire world, in just a few steps. He stood before its massive dragon eyes, only a hundred feet away.

"I know you understand what I mean!"

A faint soul fluctuation emanated from him. After being tempered by the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, the yin energy deep within Lin Feng's soul had been completely cleansed away, and his entire body exuded pure yang energy.

According to the evaluation of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, even the soul of the Emperor Realm did not undergo such a change. Perhaps this is the real reason why the Great Saint Guiyuan is so amazing and can fight against the Emperor with the body of a Battle Saint!

"roar"

A deep dragon roar resounded, and Lin Feng focused his mind to sense it, feeling a mix of emotions including anger, doubt, sadness, and even fear.

"The reason you find it difficult to take human form is because you have accumulated too much power, to the point that even the heavens are wary and have mysteriously prevented you from doing so. This is the power of balance in the universe!"

The pure Yang soul conveyed Lin Feng's guess. Looking at the suffering thunder dragon in front of him, its massive body, thousands of feet long, was constantly exploding. It was because it had lost control of its power and was about to self-destruct.

Every now and then, Black Thunder sacrifices itself, and after a powerful explosion, it transforms into pure lightning power that enters its body, trying to alleviate the king's pain.

Unfortunately, this sacrifice had no effect whatsoever. After a brief period of suppression, the enormous thunder dragon became increasingly tormented, and the liveliness displayed in its massive dragon eyes grew ever weaker.

Clearly, the sacrifice of these Black Thunderbolts had the opposite effect, but it was the only way for these Black Thunderbolts who only had a vague sense of consciousness.

"roar"

The enormous thunder dragon seemed to understand Lin Feng's words. Its roar shook the heavens and the earth, radiating across the vast void thunder pool and even reaching the deepest reaches of the void space.

"I never imagined that the Nine Profound Golden Thunder Dragon, which was only comparable to a Seven-Star Dou Sheng back then, has now reached this level!"

Zhu Gong gazed into the depths of the Thunder Pool, as if he saw the terrifying Nine Profound Golden Thunder Dragon, and murmured to himself.

"The only way now is to completely awaken sentience and shed this immense power. Only in this way can we balance the shackles of heaven and earth and achieve true rebirth!"

Lin Feng pointed out, transmitting his thoughts from the thunder dragon scales on the forehead of the Nine Profound Golden Thunder Dragon to its spiritual origin.

"If you are willing to entrust this immense energy to me, I am willing to help you take human form!"

A mysterious array appeared in Lei Long's mind. Upon closer inspection, it was vaguely similar to the Five Elements Generation and Destruction Array that covered the entire Thunder Pool, yet it also had some subtle differences.

If the great array covering the Thunder Pool was for suppression, destruction, and refinement, then the great array appearing deep within the Thunder Dragon's mind represents the life aspect of the five elements' birth and death, mutual generation and mutual restraint.

Once activated, it will gather the spiritual energy existing in heaven and earth at an unprecedentedly terrifying speed. With the help of this magical power, not only can the Thunder Dragon be transformed, but its growth can also be accelerated!

"roar"

The enormous thunder dragon roared to the sky, its massive head instantly appearing beneath Lin Feng. Its endless, winding body began to move, swimming within the vast thunder pool, expressing its boundless joy.

"Hahaha"

Lin Feng was taken aback, but immediately understood the meaning of the enormous thunder dragon. It was expressing its gratitude for the help it had given him. Even if the dragon was confused, it knew that it would not be able to overcome the transformation process.

With Lin Feng's method and the Five Elements Grand Array, it could not only avoid death, but also achieve the transformation it had always longed for since it gained sentience. This joy was the only way the ignorant Thunder Dragon could express its gratitude.

"Hmm? What's this feeling like?"

Suddenly, a tingling sensation surged from the soles of his feet up his entire body. Even Lin Feng, whose physical body was no weaker than that of a high-level Ancient Void Dragon, was somewhat numb.

"roar"

A deep dragon roar echoed throughout the vast Thunder Pool. Lin Feng understood its meaning, smiled gently, and slowly raised his right hand, unleashing endless Five Elements Battle Qi that soared into the sky.

The Five Elements Creation and Destruction Array, which suppresses heaven and earth, slowly operates. Countless extremely complex patterns exchange and flash with five-colored radiance. At the five directions of the array, the five great deities look up to the sky and roar, and terrifying fluctuations spread to the endless void.

Then, the White Tiger ran, the Vermilion Bird soared, the Azure Dragon circled in the sky, terrifying giant waves were stirred up by the Black Tortoise, and the Qilin walked slowly with noble steps, its whole body exuding auspiciousness.

As the vast array operated, rich spiritual energy from heaven and earth gathered and was controlled by Lin Feng to flow into the Thunder Dragon's body.

"roar"

After taking one last look at the Eternal Thunder Pool that had given birth to him, the Nine Profound Golden Thunder Dragon roared and burst forth with intense lightning, turning the world golden in an instant.

"Boom!"

A terrifying shockwave emanated, and in an instant, Lin Feng was gently transported a thousand feet away by the Nine Profound Golden Thunder Dragon. Then, the massive thunder dragon's body exploded instantly.

However, what puzzled Lin Feng was that the shockwave from the explosion, which looked terrifying, was actually not even as powerful as the self-destruction of the Black Demon Lightning.

"Buzz"

A strange fluctuation emanated, and a miniature version of the thunder dragon, no more than a hundred feet in size, appeared in front of Lin Feng. Its aura was extremely weak, roughly equivalent to the strength of a five-star Dou Zun.

It circled around Lin Feng, swimming happily, and occasionally looked at Lin Feng with affection in its eyes.

The countless bolts of lightning within the vast Thunder Pool seemed to sense their king's success, excitedly exploding and then converging, converging and then exploding again, leaving Lin Feng dumbfounded.

"Is this even possible?"

"Um?"

Suddenly, Lin Feng felt a tug on his shoulder. He turned slightly and saw that it was the golden thunder dragon, which was a hundred feet in size. When it saw Lin Feng looking at it, it was slightly pleased and immediately pointed to a huge ball of thunder energy, thousands of feet in size, in the void.

"You mean, you're giving it all to me? In exchange, I'll give you a name?"

Seeing that Lin Feng understood his meaning, the hundred-zhang-tall thunder dragon happily swam up and down in the thunder pool. Endless spiritual energy was gathered by the Five Elements Generation and Destruction Array and poured into its body. In just a short while, its aura was comparable to that of a six-star Dou Zun.

"Hmm, you are the embodiment of the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, hence the character 'thunder' in your name. My name is Lin Feng, and yours is Lin Lei?"

As Lin Feng spoke, he shook his head again without waiting for a response.

"How about adding the word 'shocking'? Earth-shattering! Lin Jinglei, I hope your name will one day resound throughout the world!"

"roar"

"Lin, Lin Feng, Jing Lei, Lin Jing Lei!"

Intermittently, the hundred-foot-long thunder dragon finally uttered his name, and a strange emotion arose in his heart, instantly surging into the depths of the thunder pool.

Looking back unintentionally, Lin Feng's image was deeply engraved in the depths of his consciousness at birth. This was the first thing he saw when he took human form, and he, or she, would never forget it!

"Perhaps we will meet again someday!"

Watching the Thunder Dragon—no, Lin Jinglei—enter the depths of the Thunder Pool to be reborn, Lin Feng smiled slightly, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Turning slightly, he looked at the gift left by Lin Jinglei. A vast amount of thunder energy floated between heaven and earth; this was the purest source of thunder.

Countless black lightning bolts swirled around the area, their faint instincts telling them that if they could absorb the essence left behind by their king, they would instantly evolve. If they hadn't received Lin Jinglei's instructions, they would probably have already rushed up to compete for it.

"With this source of lightning, an eight-star Dou Sheng can be defeated with a flick of the finger!"
