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

Chapter 202 Late Stage of Four-Star Dou Sheng

Within the cauldron where the Yin and Yang flames converged, a fist-sized, brilliantly black-gold-like pill floated quietly in the center of the liquid. Golden lightning continuously emanated from around the pill, accompanied by a booming sound.

Long Yan successfully refined the Thunder Tribulation Pill, whose spirituality was close to that of a ninth-grade Xuan Dan. Naturally, the birth of a ninth-grade treasure pill was accompanied by black demonic lightning!

However, this was the Void Thunder Pool. The next moment, the Void Thunder Pool erupted, and the black demon lightning deep within the Void Thunder Pool, drawn by the power of heaven and earth, struck Long Yan directly.

Unlike when Long Yan devoured the Black Demon Lightning while refining the Thunder Tribulation Pill, the Black Demon Lightning at that time was not a single entity.

At this moment, Long Yan refined the Thunder Tribulation Pill, and the power of heaven and earth condensed into black demon lightning, directly drawing in the black demon lightning in the entire void thunder pool.

"Holy crap!"

Long Yan immediately cursed and grabbed the Thunder Tribulation Pill, then hurriedly fled.

Fortunately, Black Thunder was unconscious, and Long Yan, as a fire spirit manifested from Yin and Yang flames, had extremely strong control over spatial power, which allowed them to escape successfully.

After refining the Thunder Tribulation Pill, Long Yan estimated that he might be able to break through to the late stage of the four-star Dou Sheng after consuming it. Since refining the pill would take a long time, Long Yan once again went to the Nine Netherworld Python Clan.

"Brother Long Yan!"

Yao Ming, who had broken through to the late stage of the Three-Star Dou Sheng realm, greeted Long Yan with a big laugh, excitedly giving him a hug and saying, "From today onwards, you are my brother, closer than any blood brother."

The life-saving grace, coupled with the Nine-Element Treasure Pill given to him before he had even gathered all the medicinal herbs, made Yao Ming extremely grateful to Long Yan.

Long Yan patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Although neither of us are good people, we are clear about our gratitude and grievances, so we should naturally return the favor."

Yao Ming suddenly smiled eerily and asked, "Long Yan, would you like a gift?"

His smile was eerie and complex as he said, "Isn't that beast Yao Xiaotian dead? I've killed most of his children, but I spared his little daughter because I took pity on her."

"I had someone train her properly for a while recently. She'll definitely know how to serve people and is proficient in all sorts of skills. Sending her to you as your plaything will at least give her a way out."

Upon hearing this, Long Yan looked at Yao Ming with a strange expression. If Xiao Yan had said this, he might have softened his heart for a moment, since Xiao Yan always believed that one should not harm one's family.

But Yao Ming? You killed all of Yao Xiaotian's children, leaving only one alive, and then you say you were soft-hearted?

Yao Ming gave an awkward smile and stopped hiding it from Long Yan, telling the truth: "That child's bloodline has reverted to its ancestral form, evolving into an ancient celestial serpent. He was born as a sixth-tier magical beast, and now at only six or seven years old, he is already a seventh-tier magical beast."

"Of course, although she is only six or seven years old, she has taken the Transformation Pill and looks like she is over ten years old, very alluring and charming."

"She is, after all, the only ancient celestial serpent of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan. In addition, Yao Xiaotian once wanted to use her to refine pills to help him evolve, but he couldn't find an alchemist to help him, so she survived."

"Yao Xue has no feelings for Yao Xiaotian and her brothers and sisters, only hatred, which is why I let her go. She is my niece after all, and I can't keep her to myself, so I might as well give her to you."

Long Yan nodded. That was fine. As for whether the girl named Yao Xue would feign illness to trick Cao Shuang, or whether Lao Deng would pretend to be stupid to save his life, he shouldn't treat Yao Ming like a fool.

Since Yao Xiaotian had already plotted against her once, Yao Ming must have used all sorts of methods to ensure that Yao Xue had no ill intentions towards him before she could survive.

"Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore." Long Yan patted Yao Ming on the shoulder and said, "Since it's an ancient celestial serpent, I'll take that girl with me."

"But I am just an avatar; I will take her back to my original self."

"A clone!?" Yao Ming's eyes widened. The person who saved his life, Long Yan, whom he considered a brother, was actually just someone else's clone.

Long Yan instinctively touched his nose, then realized what was happening and wondered if it was a curse from Emperor Tuoshe. The stronger the source of the strange fire, the more likely one was to have this instinct.

Long Yan couldn't help but think of the Void Devouring Flame and the Pure Lotus Demon Flame. If the two of them were to touch their noses and smile bitterly like Xiao Yan... it would be truly unbearable to watch.

"My original soul and I are separated into two, or you could say we are the same person, and we will merge back together in the future."

Long Yan patted Yao Ming on the shoulder and laughed, "Don't worry about this. I'll refine another Grade 9 Treasure Pill for you later, which should help you break through to the Four-Star Dou Sheng realm."

"Alright then." Yao Ming agreed with a smile. "At that time, whether it's you or your original form, since it's all the same, you'll both be my brother and benefactor, Yao Ming."

Long Yan then went to the place where the Nine Netherworld Python imprisoned sinners, took away a female eighth-level Nine Netherworld Python, and began to absorb Yin and Yang and consume the Thunder Tribulation Pill.

Seven days later, Long Yan successfully broke through to the late stage of the four-star Dou Sheng realm. Nearly ten thousand black demon lightning bolts, along with a large amount of medicinal herbs, were used to refine a Thunder Tribulation Pill with spirituality close to the Xuan Dan level, but it could only help Long Yan break through two minor realms.

However, even though Long Yan's body, being a fire spirit, has low resistance to pills, after consuming three Rank 9 treasure pills, he will no longer be able to improve his strength by consuming more Rank 9 treasure pills in the future.

After leaving the Nine Netherworld Python Clan once again, Long Yan returned to the Void Thunder Pool. The Black Demon Thunder in the Void Thunder Pool had not yet subsided and was still extremely violent.

Long Yan transformed into a black thunder dragon, swallowed three or four thousand black demonic thunderbolts, and then left the Void Thunder Pool, returning to the Nine Netherworld Python Clan.

Long Yan planned to refine a Thunder Tribulation Pill for Yao Ming first. The spiritual power of the pill after it was completed would be similar to that of the Nine Yuan Treasure Pill, but not as close to that of the Ninth Grade Profound Pill. It would help Yao Ming break through a small realm and reach the early stage of the Four-Star Dou Sheng.

Although the Thunder Clan and the Flame Clan have many powerful individuals, their identities are different because they are not Xiao Jue's true clansmen. They may be trustworthy, or even confidants, but Xiao Jue still wants some of his own direct subordinates.

Yao Ming is a good choice now, because Yao Ming is a magical beast, unlike Long Yan who possesses a fire spirit body, so he has extremely strong resistance to pills.

Even after consuming a Thunder Tribulation Pill with spiritual properties close to a ninth-grade Profound Pill, Long Yan only advanced two minor realms. As for Yao Ming, unless he consumed a ninth-grade Profound Pill, he could only advance one minor realm. Therefore, Long Yan did not pursue the ultimate and did not refine the best Thunder Tribulation Pill for him.

The quality of the refined Thunder Tribulation Pill mainly depends on the difference in the main ingredients. A Thunder Tribulation Pill refined with nearly ten thousand black demon lightning bolts has a spiritual quality close to that of a ninth-grade Xuan Pill, while a Thunder Tribulation Pill refined with three or four thousand black demon lightning bolts is just an ordinary ninth-grade treasure pill.
