Immortality and Cultivation: This old man seeks enlightenment through mere survival.

……

Three days later.

Jiuyou has advanced fifty miles, eighty miles, one hundred miles... even hundreds of miles into the depths of the thunderclouds!

During this time, hundreds and thousands of purple lightning dragons continuously emerged to block the way.

boom--! !

A roar—!!

*Sizzle!*

If they possessed sentience, they might scratch with their scales and claws, spew forth thunderous liquid, whip their tails, or coil around each other with their bodies...

In short, it was a fearless and reckless attack!

Jiuyou had already used all his skills.

He grew two extra arms from his ribs, which he wielded with great power and might.

This is an incomplete version of the "Three Heads and Six Arms" technique.

Furthermore, his body was covered in blood, his magical runes were dimmed, and his skin was covered with large areas of charred cracks, leaving almost no intact patches.

After three days and three nights of fierce fighting!!

"Huff...huff...huff...that's exhilarating!"

Jiuyou gasped for breath, each breath like the rumble of wind and thunder, spewing out nothing but electric arcs and lightning.

Even with supernatural powers constantly refining the essence of heavenly lightning and using battle to sustain battle... he was almost at his limit.

Just now.

Suddenly, thousands of golden rays appeared in the clouds ahead.

hold head high--! ! !

A furious roar came from within the golden light!

It can pierce through gold and split rocks, and pierce straight into the clouds!

Jiuyou stared intently.

Suddenly, an endless sea of ​​golden lightning appeared before them.

No, it's not the sea!

Instead, an excessively dense concentration of golden thunderclouds gathered, resembling a golden sea...

A golden lightning dragon, its body gleaming with lifelike scales, darted and roamed among the clouds.

Even a fleeting glimpse was enough to be awe-inspiring.

"Golden! A golden thunder spirit... A golden dragon thunder spirit has actually been born deep within these thunderclouds!"

Jiuyou was greatly surprised and couldn't help but exclaim.

Golden Dragon Thunder Spirit—a being just like Xiao Yi.

It is a spiritual being born between heaven and earth, capable of gaining intelligence and cultivating on its own!

"This Golden Dragon Thunder Spirit has likely reached the third rank, comparable to a Core Formation cultivator of the human race. It is not something we can defeat by force..."

It seems this is the limit of what I can achieve.

Nine Nether's mind raced. No wonder a Core Formation Ancestor once ventured deep into Thunderfall Plains, only to return empty-handed, remaining tight-lipped about it...

It turns out that there is a third-tier lightning spirit in the depths of these hundreds of miles.

However, these thoughts were only fleeting.

The golden dragon, Thunder Spirit, was already charging towards the Nine Netherworld with earth-shattering power!

"not good!"

Jiuyou secretly thought, "This is bad."

Before the attack even arrived, the overwhelming force of the thunderbolt paralyzed his entire body!

Jiuyou could barely muster the strength to cross his four arms and block in front of his chest.

boom--! ! !

A dazzling golden light exploded!

Arcs of lightning crackled across the surface of the ferocious dragon claws, tearing through the blood-red skin.

The raging power of thunder wantonly destroyed the muscles and flesh of the Nine Netherworld.

His forearms on all four hands exploded, blood and flesh splattering everywhere, revealing stark white bones!

"Ahhhhh!!"

Jiuyou threw his head back and howled in agony.

Most importantly, this golden lightning power was actually quite effective against his Asura form.

After being struck, he felt weak all over and unable to replenish his energy.

"The power of golden lightning, pure yang and extremely strong, can restrain my demonic body..."

Jiuyou was originally a demonic fetus, inherently restrained by the power of lightning. Only because she was nourished by the longevity essence of Lu Zaian's original body, and because she cultivated the [Law of Heaven and Earth] which allows her to absorb the essence of heavenly lightning, was she able to withstand the lightning.

However, it is clear that the power of the golden lightning has exceeded the limits that the Nine Netherworlds can withstand.

Seeing the Golden Dragon Thunder Spirit continue its attack!

But it also ignited the bloodlust within Jiuyou!

"It's just restraint... it's not like I can't move. Let's fight again!!"

His eyes were bloodshot, burning with the power of his blood and qi like an inexhaustible furnace. He reached out with his four arms, his movements as swift as the wind, and fiercely grabbed the body of the Golden Dragon Thunder Spirit.

【Flying Crane - Capture!】

This technique is performed by a Shura form that is thirty feet tall.

It was as if Jiuyou had truly transformed into a chaotic demon god from ancient times and descended upon the world!

Capture the true dragon!

"hold head high--!!!"

The Golden Dragon Thunder Spirit was captured by the Four Arms of the Nine Netherworlds, and it let out a violent dragon roar, twisting its body wildly!

The power of lightning surged into Jiuyou's arm, even piercing through his exposed white bones and turning them charred black.

At the same time, a group of purple lightning dragons were also watching them intently.

After hearing the dragon's roar.

They also rushed over, wanting to help the Golden Dragon Thunder Spirit escape its predicament!

Four fists are no match for a group of dragons.

At the critical moment, a ruthless glint flashed in Jiuyou's eyes.

Even if I can't do anything to you, I'll still let you experience my power!

Suddenly, Jiuyou opened its blood-red maw and bit down hard on the body of the golden dragon Leiling with its fangs!

Its fangs shattered the scales!

Jiuyou suddenly shook his head and tore a piece of golden flesh from Lei Ling's waist!

Ang ang ang—! ! !

The Golden Dragon Thunder Spirit let out a painful roar, its whole body radiating golden light and exuding an aura of destruction, as it prepared to unleash a terrifying killing move.

"retreat!!"

Having achieved his goal, Jiuyou withdrew violently, burning blood as he fled!

In the blink of an eye, it flew thousands of feet away.

A hint of human-like resentment flashed in the Golden Dragon Thunder Spirit's eyes, but it did not give chase.

It withdrew its killing move, and the golden light on its body flowed towards the wound on its waist.

Instead of blood, drops of golden lightning essence dripped from the wound.

It is clearly not a real dragon body, capable of repairing itself with lightning.

"It seems unable to leave that golden lightning zone..."

A thousand feet away, Jiuyou breathed a sigh of relief.

The golden dragon thunder spirit was born from that golden sea of ​​thunder, and obviously could not be separated from it.

Otherwise, given his terrifying speed as a Thunder Spirit, he might not have been able to escape!

The piece of flesh he had bitten off transformed into pure lightning essence, which surged through Jiu You's body, causing him immense numbness.

Thunder Spirit has no price; its flesh and blood melt in your mouth!

"At least with this dose of Thunder Spirit Essence, this trip won't have been a waste..."

Jiuyou forcibly used his blood and qi to envelop the golden thunder spirit essence in his mouth and flew back.

Strange to say.

On the way back, there were still some lone purple thunder dragons or black and white lightning bolts in the thunderclouds.

They didn't even dare to strike towards the Nine Netherworlds.

They seemed to fear the essence of thunder spirit in his mouth, or perhaps they feared Jiuyou, who could devour a bite of thunder spirit.

Until they were hundreds of miles away from the thunderclouds.

Jiuyou landed on a secluded, desolate mountain.

He shrank back into his Asura form and transformed into a human body.

"I can't wait any longer, let's begin the refining process here..."

If he were to fly any further, the essence of thunder in his mouth would break through his blood and qi defenses, and he would be unable to hold it in any longer.

His body not only contained a large amount of purple heavenly lightning essence, but also a mouthful of golden lightning spirit essence.

They were so full they couldn't hold on any longer!

Immediately, Jiuyou sat cross-legged, swallowed the essence of the thunder spirit, and began to fully circulate his divine powers to refine the power of lightning and temper his physical body!

This process lasted for more than ten days in the blink of an eye!

As time went by, Jiuyou's injuries began to heal slowly...

The injuries to his internal organs were repaired, and the violent lightning power was transformed into pure supernatural power.

The bones kept making crackling sounds, like popping beans!

Flesh and blood sprouted, growing wildly!

The charred bloodstains and wounds on the skin peeled away, revealing brand-new skin.

The power of Qi and blood also began to reignite, flowing through the blood vessels and muscles.

Each wound that heals represents the formation of even stronger armor...
