Chapter 528: Little Gold Grows, Five-Star Dou Zun!
"The Ancient Void Dragon Clan finally has a Dragon Emperor!"
As Zhu Li's tearful voice fell, figures across the sky, on the ground, and on the mountain peaks all respectfully and reverently knelt down. Even some of the weaker experts from the other three islands hesitated for a moment before succumbing to the overwhelming pressure emanating from their blood and souls, causing them to kneel as well.
"The appearance of the Dragon Emperor will surely make the three Dragon Kings panic."
Man Yan sighed. Despite his strength, he bowed toward the figure in the sky, even though he did not kneel.
"Leaders of the three islands, within ten breaths, take your people and leave East Dragon Island."
As Man Yan and Xia Ao sighed, a voice, calm yet filled with an irresistible authority, echoed across the sky.
Hearing this, both Man Yan and Xia Ao bitterly smiled. They waved their arms and quickly led their people away from East Dragon Island, flying into the void space. The others from their islands hurried to follow, not daring to delay.
The Dragon Emperor's wrath was truly terrifying.
In a spacious room, sunlight streamed through the windows, casting patches of light on the floor.
Inside, Mo Yu, now awake, sat facing Zhu Li.
Sensing the surge of power within him, Mo Yu was momentarily stunned. He had reached the level of a four-star Dou Zun.
"It's because of the Ancient Dragon blood essence..." Mo Yu muttered softly as he clenched his fists, realizing the reason for his sudden breakthrough.
"Haha, congratulations, Mo Yu! You've broken through again! Truly a reason to celebrate," Zhu Li said with a smile, cupping his hands in respect.
With Mo Yu's talent and abilities, every breakthrough meant his strength would increase exponentially.
Mo Yu smiled faintly. While reaching the four-star Dou Zun level was unexpected, he didn't let it excite him too much. With his current power, unless he broke through to the higher ranks of Dou Zun, there wouldn't be much of a noticeable improvement. After all, he was already unrivaled below the Half-Saint level.
"Zi Yan successfully became the Dragon Emperor. Where is she now?" Mo Yu asked curiously after Zhu Li told him about the results of the battle on Dragon Island.
"The Dragon Emperor has not yet fully absorbed the energy of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. After dealing with the invaders, she went back into seclusion. This time, it might take quite a while," Zhu Li explained with a smile.
Mo Yu nodded in understanding, then looked around the room and asked, "By the way, where's Qing Lin?"
"Haha, that little girl has the soul of an Ancient Heavenly Serpent within her. Such creatures are incredibly fierce and could easily take control of her if she isn't careful. So, after you fell unconscious, we arranged for her to train in the Ancient Dragon Tomb, where the rich dragon aura will help suppress and eventually allow her to absorb the Nine-Headed Heavenly Serpent's soul," Zhu Li explained with a chuckle.
"Once she fully absorbs the Nine-Headed Heavenly Serpent's soul, her strength will skyrocket. With the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, she can easily gain the power of the Heavenly Serpent's soul."
Mo Yu nodded thoughtfully. After absorbing the Heavenly Serpent's power, Qing Lin's strength would likely increase significantly.
"If that's the case, I'll stay on Ancient Dragon Island for a while," Mo Yu said, then seemed to remember something. "Oh, Elder Zhu Li, is there a place near East Dragon Island in the void where lightning gathers?"
Hearing this, Zhu Li hesitated for a moment, then, after some thought, slowly nodded under Mo Yu's expectant gaze.
"Indeed, there's a place where lightning gathers in the void near East Dragon Island," Zhu Li said with a light smile.
"Swish!"
In the dark void, a massive figure shot forward like a bolt of lightning.
The strange aura radiating from the figure resisted the relentless tearing force of the void.
As it drew closer, it became clear that this enormous figure was a giant black dragon, and seated cross-legged on its head was none other than Mo Yu.
"Mo Yu, we should reach the 'Void Thunder Pool' that Elder Zhu Li mentioned soon," the black dragon suddenly spoke, revealing itself as Hei Qing.
"Mm," Mo Yu nodded, a sense of anticipation rising within him. The so-called Void Thunder Pool was the place where lightning gathered, as described by Zhu Li.
It was said that this strange place had a natural pulling force, causing chaotic energy to gather and eventually create countless bolts of lightning.
Mo Yu's goal was to absorb this vast amount of lightning to promote the growth of Xiao Jin, his Nine Profound Gold Thunder Dragon.
Since acquiring the Nine Profound Gold Thunder, Mo Yu had considered it his Thunder Spirit and hadn't interfered much. However, he could feel that Xiao Jin was approaching a stage of evolution, and he couldn't ignore it. The Void Thunder Pool might be the perfect opportunity for Xiao Jin's growth.
After a brief reminder from Hei Qing, the giant dragon's tail whipped through the void, and its massive body shot forward like lightning. In an instant, it vanished into the depths of the void.
"Swish!"
Feeling the roaring wind beside him, Mo Yu narrowed his eyes. After a while, he noticed a silver glow flickering at the edge of the void, with a familiar violent energy faintly emanating from it.
"We're almost there," Mo Yu murmured, sensing the violent energy. He slowly stood atop the dragon's head, his gaze fixed on the rapidly approaching silver glow.
As they drew nearer, the silver light expanded rapidly, and the deafening roar of thunder filled the air.
Before Mo Yu lay a massive 'lake' spanning nearly a thousand feet in diameter. However, this lake wasn't filled with water, but with blinding silver lightning.
It was a true Thunder Pool, formed entirely of lightning!
Standing before the Thunder Pool, the rumbling thunder echoed endlessly, shaking one's soul. Anyone standing here would feel incredibly small.
"What intense lightning power," Mo Yu muttered, a glint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
"This place is dangerous, Mo Yu. Are you sure you want to train here?" Hei Qing asked, his eyes wide with shock as he gazed at the vast Thunder Pool. Even he felt a tinge of fear from the overwhelming energy here.
Mo Yu smiled and nodded. With this Thunder Pool, he was confident that Xiao Jin's growth would far exceed his expectations.
"Brother Hei Qing, I'm heading in now. If anything happens, I'll send a signal," Mo Yu said, eager to begin.
"Mm, I'll guard the Thunder Pool until you finish. If anything goes wrong, just send the signal as we discussed, and I'll come to your aid," Hei Qing replied.
"Haha, thanks, Brother Hei Qing," Mo Yu smiled. With that, he pushed off from the dragon's head and shot toward the Thunder Pool, his body quickly enveloped in his Mysterious Thunder.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The silver lightning crackled like serpents in the Thunder Pool, striking everywhere.
Yet, Mo Yu stood calmly in the midst of the lightning, untouched by the violent energy, which seemed to shy away from his powerful aura, refraining from attacking him directly.
After assessing the surrounding lightning, Mo Yu narrowed his eyes and began walking deeper into the Thunder Pool.
After traveling several hundred feet, he finally stopped. The lightning here was even more concentrated, and Mo Yu could feel a faint pressure surrounding him.
"What a terrifying Void Thunder Pool. This is the place," Mo Yu decided, sitting down cross-legged.
After calming his mind, Mo Yu waved his hand, summoning the Nine Profound Gold Thunder Dragon.
At this point, Xiao Jin was over thirty feet long, his dragon eyes gleaming with intense golden lightning. His fearsome aura was already comparable to the lowest-ranked Thunder Spirits on the Heavenly Thunder Rankings.
"Xiao Jin, let's see how much you can grow," Mo Yu murmured before gently pushing Xiao Jin toward the densest part of the lightning.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
As soon as Xiao Jin flew out, the surrounding lightning seemed to be drawn to him, surging toward him like a flood.
However, instead of harming Xiao Jin, the lightning disappeared the moment it touched his body, absorbed and devoured by him.
The Thunder Pool became a frenzy of lightning, with bolts measuring over ten feet, and even dozens of feet, in length. They roared and exploded, but Xiao Jin's body only grew larger and brighter, his aura becoming more terrifying.
Watching Xiao Jin being engulfed in brilliant lightning, Mo Yu smiled.
The energy in this Thunder Pool, though incredibly violent, was helpless against the Nine Profound Gold Thunder. Instead, it became nourishment for Xiao Jin's growth.
"I wonder if Xiao Jin can grow to rank among the top five on the Heavenly Thunder Rankings here?"
Mo Yu smiled, his silver eyes gleaming with excitement.
If Xiao Jin could reach the top five, not only would Mo Yu's own strength increase, but the power of the Desolate Thunder Orb would also grow tremendously!
With this in mind, Mo Yu's heart burned with excitement. The prospect of such a significant power boost was too enticing.
In the vast silver world of the Thunder Pool, lightning roared like dragons, their deafening thunder echoing across the void.
Within this silver storm, a figure sat cross-legged.
Nearby, a massive golden dragon, several hundred feet long, coiled in the center of the storm. Furious lightning surged around it, striking its body repeatedly.
Yet, the terrifying strikes did not faze the Nine Profound Gold Thunder Dragon. Instead, each bolt of lightning made Xiao Jin's body glow even more brightly.
Time passed swiftly in this world of endless lightning. In the blink of an eye, half a month had gone by.
During this time, Mo Yu didn't worry too much about Xiao Jin. After a few days of observation, he realized there wouldn't be any issues. So, he closed his eyes and entered a state of meditation, blocking out the deafening roar of thunder.
The Thunder Pool contained an overwhelming amount of violent energy.
While meditating, Mo Yu absorbed this wild energy. In just half a month, his Dou Qi had advanced, and he felt as though he was on the verge of breaking through to the five-star Dou Zun level.
Day after day, time flew by in the thunderous world, and Xiao Jin's aura grew more terrifying by the day.
Eventually, Xiao Jin's body had grown to over eight hundred feet in length. A fearsome aura radiated from him, so powerful that even the thunderstorm seemed to freeze momentarily.
As Xiao Jin's power increased, Mo Yu sat motionless, deep in meditation. Strange energy waves rippled from his body.
"Gurgle."
The Thunder Pool rumbled as massive torrents of violent energy rushed toward Mo Yu, flooding into his body like a raging river.
Mo Yu remained still, absorbing the energy like a bottomless pit.
As more energy flowed into him, a massive thunder vortex over a hundred feet wide began forming above Mo Yu's head.
"Boom! Boom!"
The thunder vortex rumbled for what seemed like an eternity before finally starting to weaken.
By now, Mo Yu's entire body was surrounded by crackling lightning. From a distance, he looked like the incarnation of a thunder god, radiating an overwhelming pressure.
"Boom!"
In the instant that Mo Yu opened his eyes, massive bolts of lightning shot from them, roaring like dragons as they tore through the thunderstorm before gradually fading into the depths of the Thunder Pool.
"Phew."
Mo Yu exhaled a breath tinged with sparks of electricity. His face and clothes still shimmered with faint traces of lightning.
"Five-star Dou Zun!"
