Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

Chapter 155 Angel Investors

Xiao Jue nodded. Anyway, there wouldn't be much involvement in the short term; it was just that Lei Ying and he had made an agreement.

Lei Ying said, "Let's find a place. You, kid, first refine a pill so I can take a look."

"Okay." Xiao Jue nodded and asked, "How's the valley in the Monster Beast Mountain Range?"

"Let's go." As soon as Lei Ying finished speaking, he led Xiao Jue and Mang Tianchi into the small valley.

The Heavenly Fire Venerable, who was guarding the area, stepped forward and respectfully bowed, saying, "My Lord!"

Lei Ying asked in surprise, "This Dou Zun is your subordinate?"

Calling him a subordinate is an understatement, since Venerable Tianhuo addresses Xiao Jue as "Master," clearly indicating that he is a servant.

Xiao Jue said, "Previously, Venerable Tianhuo was only left with a remnant soul. After I encountered him, I revived him, and his strength was able to advance even further."

"Tianhuo, this is the dean of Canaan Academy, Elder Mang Tianchi of the Lei Clan, a half-saint level expert. This is Lei Ying, the patriarch of the Lei Clan, a late-stage eight-star Dou Sheng."

Venerable Tianhuo stared wide-eyed. What kind of days were these? Since meeting Xiao Jue, he had seen four Dou Sheng and three Half-Saints in three months.

Venerable Tianhuo immediately bowed respectfully, "Yaotianhuo greets Clan Chief Lei Ying and Dean Mangtianchi."

Mang Tianchi waved his hand casually, and Lei Ying chuckled, "They're Xiao Jue's subordinates, so just be casual with them."

Lei Ying asked, "What kind of elixir are you planning to refine?"

"Divine Aperture Pill." Xiao Jue sat cross-legged on the ground, took out the Yin-Yang Cauldron, circulated the Yin-Yang Technique, and after slightly adjusting his state, took out the medicinal materials to begin refining.

Lei Ying stood quietly to the side, not saying a word, and the others watched in silence.

With sufficient soul power, Xiao Jue refined the medicinal herbs with effortless ease. Lei Ying raised an eyebrow slightly. When he first inherited the position of Lei Clan Chief, he had seen the president of the Central State Pill Tower Elder Council refine pills; his name seemed to be Lin Mo.

The eighth-grade pill that the opponent used to refine the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning when he was a Nine-Turn Dou Zun seemed to be not much different from Xiao Jue's. It seems that Xiao Jue does indeed have the alchemy skills of the peak of the eighth grade.

Refining medicinal herbs, fusing medicinal liquids, condensing the pill, and nurturing the pill—Xiao Jue only took seven days to refine this Divine Aperture Pill.

It's far inferior to how Yao Lao refined a ninth-grade precious pill in three days, but the difference in cultivation level is also huge. For example, before Yao Lao refined his physical body, it took him about seven days to refine a low-grade eighth-grade pill.

A deep, resounding boom suddenly echoed through the heavens and earth, and an extremely powerful energy fluctuation abruptly spread out, causing the clouds in the sky to condense like lightning.

Xiao Jue gazed at the thunderclouds in the sky, where, after several churnings, the thunderclouds finally, unsurprisingly, revealed nine colors.

Just as he raised his hand to summon the Earth Demon, he heard Lei Ying laugh loudly. His palm, as large as a fan, suddenly grabbed, and lightning flashed and thunder roared in his palm, as if it had shrunk countless times.

"Let me show you the Thunder Tribulation Palm of my Thunder Clan!"

Lightning surged in Lei Ying's palm, eventually transforming into a shrunken thundercloud. The thundercloud beat rapidly like a heart, and in an instant, the world suddenly went dark.

A lightning palm print, shrunk to the smallest size, only half the size of a palm, suddenly burst out from the thundercloud and slammed heavily into the nine-colored thundercloud.

"Bang!"

The earth-shattering explosion resounded throughout the entire Black Corner Region in an instant, and a terrifying energy storm spread out with unstoppable force!

Lei Ying waved his hand to wipe away the aftershocks and laughed, "How was it?"

Xiao Jue said, both amused and exasperated, "Father-in-law, my Dan Lei still has a use; it can be used to temper puppets."

"This is an ancient puppet? It has the strength of a two-star Dou Zun." Lei Ying smiled awkwardly and asked, "Can this puppet be tempered with Black Demon Lightning? I absorbed a large amount of Black Demon Lightning in the Demon Lightning Pool and stored it in my body."

"This one won't do." Xiao Jue put away the Earth Demon. "This puppet was made using the corpse, soul, and seventh-order magic core of a Dou Zong."

"But this puppet can," Xiao Jue said, releasing Tianxuan. "This puppet previously received the Black Demon Lightning and can absorb its energy to evolve."

"Oh?" Lei Ying's eyes lit up. He grabbed Tian Xuan and threw him into the sky. Immediately afterward, a bolt of black demon lightning shot out from his palm.

"boom!"

With a roar, Tianxuan was pierced once again, but it slowly repaired itself, and its strength quickly rose to the level of an eight-star Dou Zun.

"This puppet is not bad." Lei Ying laughed loudly, and at the same time unleashed two black demon lightning bolts, almost splitting Tian Xuan in two, but it was still rapidly recovering.

As bolts of black demonic lightning struck the Heavenly Demon Puppet, Tianxuan gradually revealed a purplish-gold hue, his strength having reached the Nine-Star Dou Zun level!

As Lei Ying unleashed bolts of black demonic lightning, he progressed from a First-Rank Dou Zun to a Second-Rank Dou Zun... and then to a Ninth-Rank Dou Zun!

"boom!"

The latest novel is first published here!

Twenty bolts of black demonic lightning struck Tianxuan. When the lightning transformed into a purple-gold color, Tianxuan would not be shattered by the black demonic lightning. At this moment, his aura suddenly rose to the level of a half-saint!

"Hiss~" Lei Ying gasped and unleashed the remaining hundred black demon lightning bolts from his body all at once.

"boom!!!"

The roaring sound continued unabated. Lei Ying asked in shock, "What materials did you use to make this puppet?"

He grabbed Tianxuan and descended from the sky, landing beside Xiao Jue. He exclaimed, "His aura is already comparable to a high-level half-saint, and he's almost at his limit. If he gets a few dozen more Black Demon Lightning bolts, he could probably reach a level comparable to a one-star Dou Sheng."

"However, by then, it will probably be too late to improve. I'm almost resistant to Black Lightning now, and absorbing other lightning powers probably won't help me improve either."

Xiao Jue said, "It was made from the corpse of a Dou Zun, the soul of a Soul Palace protector, the core of an eighth-order Heavenly Demon Phoenix, and also incorporated a large amount of rare metals and a piece of extraterrestrial meteorite iron."

"Because the Soul Palace Protector's soul was not strong enough, the evil souls that the Soul Palace Protector collected were also refined into the Soul Palace Protector's soul to enhance the puppet's spirituality."

Lei Ying nodded and exclaimed, "I almost wanted to dig it up for my ancestors, but it's a pity that after the Thunder Emperor died, he turned into the Demon Thunder Pool. Otherwise, I might have been able to refine a Dou Di puppet."

The mouths of the people standing nearby twitched; this Lei Clan Chief was truly audacious.

Lei Ying said, "Xiao Jue, bring out that puppet as well. It can't use Black Demon Lightning, but I can also gather the power of heaven and earth to form lightning, which is no worse than the Dan Lightning of an eighth-grade pill."

"Okay." Xiao Jue nodded excitedly, took out the Earth Demon and handed it to Lei Ying. As expected of his father-in-law, he treated him well, just like Gu Yuan. They were both angel investors!

With a wave of his hand, Lei Ying conjured thunderclouds in the sky. He then threw the Earth Demon into the thunderclouds, and after about ten minutes, the thunderclouds dissipated.

Lei Ying said, "The materials used to create your puppet are too poor. It has only reached the limit of a five-star Dou Zun."
