"Refined Golden Feather!"
Inside the lightning pool, the lightning fluctuated with ?chi lala? sounds. Du Shaofu let out a loud roar, and his entire body rippled with a golden light with faint flashing rune.
Within the golden light, a golden-winged phantom seemed to be condensed. Du Shaofu was like a roc playing within a pool, waving his arms, striking the solution, and hitting the lightning pool with his body.
"Rumble!"
The lightning pool rumbled, as thunder rolled over, which was incomparably violent!
Amidst the pain that ordinary people couldn?t endure, Du Shaofu clenched his teeth and resisted. The bones, meridians, and even his muscles were refined and became tougher and more explosive at a slow pace like steel in a raging fire.
Everything was undergoing a metamorphosis amidst the lightning and thunder ?
"It's been nine days. How can he be so strong? No one has ever been able to endure more than seven days."
On the plaza, outside of the building that looked like tower and hall, but wasn't, lightning flashed. Ye Baolin looked inside it with a puzzled expression.
It is said that long time ago, an expert from the Han Family entered the lightning pool, endured seven days until the effects of the Anti-Thunder Pill dissipated. That was already the highest record, but now, Du Shaofu had actually entered for nine days.
"Too many inconceivable things happened to him." Ye Zijin said softly.
Ye Baolin turned, looked at his beloved daughter, and said, "Being able to stay in the lightning pool for nine days is not simply an inconceivable matter. I even suspect that in the competition among the younger generation of the five great families, he did not use his full strength, and he is even stronger than what we imagined."
"But we?ve chosen Du Family, whether it's a blessing or a curse. If Du Family in the end..." Ye Zijin said softly after a long while, with the expression in her eyes fluctuating.
"Roar!"
Ye Zijin didn?t finish her words, a loud beast roar came out again. The sound waves resonated outwards, and the Thunder Power above the gigantic building was also vibrating intensely, releasing a terrifying aura.
Instantly, the expressions of both Ye Baolin and Ye Zijin changed greatly.
Looking at the flickering lightning, Ye Baolin's gaze turned serious as he said softly, "It seems like the Thunder Ancestor is unable to hold on any more."
Within the lightning pool, surging lightning flashed as lightning wrapped Du Shaofu within. Du Shaofu continuously used the Thunder Power to refine his body, allowing the lightning to wrap him up completely.
"Chi la!"
The solution inside the lightning pool fluctuated and the lightning unceasingly swept towards Du Shaofu like a silver snake. The moment it came into contact with the golden light wrapped around Du Shaofu's body, it emitted a slight muffled sound, and after that, it was directly devoured into Du Shaofu's body, disappearing without a trace.
Although the Thunder Power was strong, the faint golden light around Du Shaofu?s body seemed to become weaker and weaker. It was as if all the energy and lightning in the lightning pool had been completely absorbed by Du Shaofu.
Borrowing the power of thunder to refine the body, Du Shaofu had now abused himself completely. He had spent the entire nine days receiving the bombardment of the lightning and the immense pressure from the lightning pool.
However, during these nine days of perseverance, by relying on the Body Training Method, Du Shaofu could clearly feel that all his meridians and bones had been constantly strengthening and transforming inside his body, and the aura on his body also became stronger.
The solution within the lightning pool also contained a huge amount of energy, which was extremely beneficial to one's cultivation. Du Shaofu even felt that he could be able to break through yet again.
On the tenth day, as Du Shaofu was enduring the pain of lightning training his body and feeling that his condition was getting better, to the point that he faintly felt like he was about to break through again, the Thunder Power in the lightning pool suddenly weakened drastically.
After a while, the Thunder Power gradually disappeared, as if all the Thunder Power and energy in the lightning pool had been completely absorbed by Du Shaofu alone.
"Hualala!"
Following the disappearance of the Thunder Power and energy, the faint signs of a breakthrough for Du Shaofu also stopped at once. Then, his aura also gradually weakened as the golden light around his body fluctuated. The transformation of Refined Golden Feather also stopped.
The lightning pool stopped fluctuating, and the flickering lightning around it started to dissipate.
Unknowingly, Du Shaofu had already sat cross-legged in the lightning pool solution. Now, he opened his eyes and stared at the lightning pool tightly.
"It?s so close. If I had a little more Thunder Power and energy of the lightning pool, I would probably be able to improve my cultivation level and body training a little more."
Du Shaofu's eyes revealed a look of pity. From the transformations in his body and the aura on his body, if he could persevere for a while longer, he should be able to improve a step further. It was a pity that the energy in the lightning pool had already dissipated, as if it had been completely absorbed by him.
"You are clearly a human, but the aura on your body is the aura of my demon race. Fine, since I won't be able to hold on for long, I might as well help you out a little."
Suddenly, an elderly but deep voice was transmitted from within the lightning pool.
"Who is it?"
Du Shaofu was immediately on guard in his heart, as he scanned his surroundings, not noticing a second person in the lightning pool.
"Boom!"
However, just as Du Shaofu's words came out, the lightning lake which had just calmed once again fluctuated, as bolts of lightning that were like silver snakes shot out from all directions like before. The energy within the lightning pool once again overflowed, and once again rushed towards Du Shaofu.
"Boom!"
The energy fluctuation in the lightning pool was even more violent than it was ten days ago. A huge oppressive feeling surrounded Du Shaofu.
Under the terrifying might of the lightning and the repressive force, Du Shaofu clenched his teeth and resisted. He felt that as long as the Thunder Power got even a little stronger, he would really be unable to resist the pressure.
"Don't tell me it is the rumored method of continued training?"
Du Shaofu was startled for a moment and felt the changes and fluctuations inside the lightning pool. After hesitating for a moment, the seals condensed and changed as he continued to immerse himself in cultivation.
"Chi la!"
Golden rays of light once again spread around Du Shaofu's body. The golden rune flickered, and the surrounding lightning seemed to have been attracted by something, as it rushed towards Du Shaofu even more frantically.
However, the moment the seemingly berserk lightning and energy came into contact with the golden light around Du Shaofu's body, it would immediately disappear like water that had encountered a sponge.
Within the lightning pool, thunder and lightning danced about, causing the surface of the pool to fluctuate.
Streams of lightning that were like silver snakes began to rage crazily at this moment, and faint rumbling sounds of thunder could be heard as they enveloped Du Shaofu from all directions.
Under such crazy thunder and lightning, another Thunder Ball formed around Du Shaofu's body. Even the golden light around his body started to be enveloped within.
When night fell, the entire Stone City was enveloped in the darkness, causing the air to freeze for no reason.
The silver moonlight scattered on the ground, and the fragrance of the night permeated the air, forming a soft net that enveloped all the scenery within. There was also a faint sense of oppression, as if something was about to erupt.
"Roar!"
The roar of a beast resounded through the void of Stone City as tens of thousands of citizens woke up from their slumber.
Recently, these kind of beast roars had become more and more frequent. The beast roars shook the sky and gave off a sense of vicissitudes, as if they could pierce through the ages, making people feel an unspeakable sadness.
"It can't hold on any longer. Is this the last struggle?"
Within the Stone City, a figure stood atop the roof of the pavilion with an expectant look in his eyes, as though he had been waiting for countless years.
At the top of the mountain, a figure stood, waved his hand and said softly, "That great being of Ye Family should be unable to resist any longer. Inform the Cao family of the Floating Cloud County that we can take action."
On a small island in the middle of a lake, an elderly figure stood there and looked towards the direction of the Ye Family in the city, mumbling to himself, "It's finally time. The Stone City will finally no longer calm."
Within the Du Family, King Scale Demon Tiger that was like a night cat stood in the courtyard as it looked in the direction of the beast roar from Stone City. Its eyes flickered with a faint sense of anticipation and yearning.
?You don't need to think too much. Your bloodline is quite good, and you might be able to have your own path in the future. That great being in the city is wanted by too many people. I?m afraid that they won?t obtain anything. After all, not everyone can seek that level of power.?
On the vine chair, Du Tingxuan's drunken eyes were hazy as he looked up into the sky. It was as if he was talking to the King Scale Demon Tiger. Then he drank a few more mouthfuls and it seemed that he was talking to himself, ?There is crouching tiger and hidden dragon inside the small Stone City. There may be some interesting things.?
Just after he finished, a snoring sound came out from Du Tingxuan's throat. He was drunk and fell asleep.
The King Scale Demon Tiger looked into the distance as its gaze fluctuated. It then gently walked to the side of the rattan chair, laid down beside Du Tingxuan, and slept.
"Roar!"
Another three days passed. During these three days, the deafening beast roars in the city grew more frequent. These sounds were sad and deep, as if they were filled with unwillingness and helplessness, causing people's hearts to clench in sorrow for no reason.
Tens of thousands of citizens were all panic-stricken as one knew what had happened. They were all worried about the invasion of Beast Tide from the Barbarian Beast Mountain Range. They hoped that the five great families could investigate.
The only surprising thing was that the five great families remained silent in the face of the frequent beast roars. No one made a move.
The collective silence of the five great families caused the entire Stone City to be suppressed for no reason.
In the end, only few people dare to go outsides. The beast roars were accompanied by a formless pressure, which made people tremble with fear.
"Roar!"
It was another late night. The beast roars shook heaven and earth. Following the roars, the entire Stone City trembled, as if something extremely terrifying was moving.
