Chapter 231: Training the Demon Puppet with Pill Thunder!
Above the sky, the sudden appearance of this phenomenon naturally also alarmed the Black Scaled Frigid Python.
The Black Scaled Frigid Python looked at the sky with a solemn face, focusing on the dark clouds.
"This, this is actually Pill Thunder!" The Black Scaled Frigid Python said heavily, looking at the lightning moving like silver snakes within the dark clouds.
Under this terrifying natural power, even it felt a hint of trepidation.
"It is said that some high-grade elixirs, when formed, can cause disturbances in the energy of heaven and earth, attracting Pill Thunder!"
In its lifetime, the Black Scaled Frigid Python had only witnessed Pill Thunder twice. The first time was when it saw a seventh-grade alchemist refining pills in the Central Continent, where thunder rumbled in the sky as the pills were completed.
The second time was now...
And it could feel that the Pill Thunder triggered by Gu He this time was much stronger than the one from the seventh-grade alchemist.
"The master's strength has already reached the level of a nine-star Dou Ancestor, and with full effort, he could even match a Dou Venerate. Dealing with this seventh-grade Pill Thunder should not be a problem." Thinking of this, the Black Scaled Frigid Python slightly relaxed, raised its head, and slowly said while looking at the dark clouds that continuously emitted thunderous roars.
...
Soon, the dark clouds in the sky became thicker and heavier, looking like they were about to press down on the ground, giving an extremely oppressive feeling.
In the sight of the Black Scaled Frigid Python, the dark clouds seemed to be right above Gu He's head. Inside the clouds, silver lightning darted about, and occasional collisions caused thunderous explosions, making people feel frightened.
Seeing Gu He standing calmly in the void, seemingly indifferent to the terrifying thunder, the Black Scaled Frigid Python grew even more admiring of him.
Boom!
The next moment, a thick silver light suddenly burst out from the clouds. Its dazzling brilliance lit up the somewhat dark world.
In the void, Gu He looked up at the thick clouds and the rolling thunder close at hand, which made his eardrums buzz.
"Is this Pill Thunder?"
His eyes firmly fixed on the silver lightning moving like snakes in the clouds, feeling the immense power within, Gu He's eyes flashed with surprise and excitement.
Many alchemists long for the day when they can refine a pill that would attract Pill Thunder, but few succeed.
Now, Gu He had succeeded in the first step, and the next step was also the most critical one.
"Boom!"
The silver lightning in the clouds became more and more intense. Eventually, the atmosphere in the entire sky became extremely oppressive. About ten seconds later, a crack suddenly opened in the clouds.
Immediately, a silver thunderbolt, about half a foot wide, shot out from the clouds with a resounding roar, like a giant silver python, aiming straight at the purple-red pill in the valley.
Seeing the silver lightning strike, Gu He's face remained calm. With a gentle grip of his hand, a red longsword appeared.
The red longsword, inlaid with several seventh-grade magic cores, was a seventh-grade magic core weapon.
"Heaven Splitting Sword Art!"
With a low shout in his heart, countless sword shadows almost instantly enveloped Gu He.
Boom!
The silver lightning struck fiercely, carrying a strong natural power, and smashed onto the sword shadows, causing a thunderous explosion.
Looking again, the huge silver lightning had turned into numerous tiny sparks.
Countless sword shadows constantly struck these sparks, quickly spreading them across the void like tiny silver snakes.
"Heaven Splitting Sword Art!"
Layer upon layer of sword shadows, like endless waves, caught all the silver lightning. A moment later, with a low shout, several huge sword lights violently intersected and shot out, hitting the silver lightning hard and splitting it open.
After splitting the furious thunder with the Heaven Splitting Sword Art, Gu He took a deep breath, gripping his somewhat numb hand, then holding the longsword towards the sky, raised his head, and shouted, "Continue!"
As if provoked by Gu He's challenge, the dark clouds tumbled more violently. Moments later, with a crackling sound, a silver lightning bolt, twice as strong as the previous one, shot out from the clouds again.
"Haha!"
Looking excitedly at the silver lightning that spanned the sky, Gu He laughed loudly and quickly formed hand seals.
"Vermilion Bird Seal! Break for me!"
With a shout, a huge Vermilion Bird phantom quickly condensed around Gu He.
"Earth Demon Puppet, appear!"
Just then, Gu He suddenly burst into laughter, followed by a silver shadow that appeared in front of him, directly confronting the thundering assault with a domineering punch.
As the punch was thrown, the void trembled, and silver light exploded.
The thunder shattered instantly!
For a moment, the whole sky fell silent.
In the valley, the Black Scaled Frigid Python, now in the void, revealed a look of shock, momentarily petrified.
The sudden appearance of the silver figure immediately caught the attention of the Black Scaled Frigid Python. To shatter such powerful silver lightning with one punch, perhaps even a regular five or six-star Dou Ancestor would find it difficult?
In the midst of the silence, the Black Scaled Frigid Python quickly regained its senses, its gaze firmly on the figure shimmering with blinding silver light amid the lightning.
Moments later, the Black Scaled Frigid Python furrowed its brows, as it realized that it couldn't sense the aura of the figure. It could only perceive an extremely powerful momentum
However, this momentum, though strong, felt somewhat rigid, as if it lacked intelligence.
The Black Scaled Frigid Python stared intently at the silver figure, and after a moment, took a deep breath and slowly said, "Is this the so-called 'Earth Demon Puppet' the master has crafted? So formidable?"
"Judging by its aura, this puppet must be at least around the level of a nine-star Dou Ancestor. Dealing with this already weakened Pill Thunder shouldn't be a problem," thought the Black Scaled Frigid Python.
Meanwhile, Gu He, feeling the chaotic movement of the thunder power within his body, couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
This damned energy had entered his body during contact with his fighting spirit, but fortunately, the protection of his life's divine fire prevented any serious damage.
However, the paralyzing effect of the thunder power made Gu He feel weak all over, even the circulation of his fighting spirit had become much more sluggish.
The next moment, Gu He forced himself into a sitting position, his slightly pale face looking up at the dark clouds in the sky. The clouds, flashing with silver light and rumbling thunder, resonated and spread, causing hearts to flutter.
"This round of Pill Thunder should be almost over, right? Just a few more rounds and I should be able to get through it smoothly."
Thinking this, Gu He slowly spread open his palm, where a thumb-sized purple-red pill sparkled under the lightning, containing a tremendous amount of energy.
"Boom!"
As Gu He muttered to himself, the clouds above churned again, and the sound of thunder exploded.
"Here it comes again."
Feeling the rapidly gathering thunder power within the clouds, Gu He slightly frowned.
Crack!
A huge silver lightning bolt, breaking through the cloud barrier in an abrupt and dazzling flash, lit up the somewhat dim valley like daytime.
The power of the thunder contained in this silver lightning was more terrifying than any before.
"This Pill Thunder is indeed fearsome. And this is only for a seventh-grade pill. If it were for eighth or even ninth-grade... Such Pill Thunder could probably destroy heavens and earth," exclaimed the Black Scaled Frigid Python, watching the silver lightning that circled the sky and then smashed towards the stone platform with the ferocity of a meteor.
The Black Scaled Frigid Python's gaze was locked onto the silver lightning, sensing the terrifying power within it.
"Earth Demon Puppet, go!"
Watching the silver lightning bolt that appeared in a flash, Gu He let out a low shout.
"Boom!"
As soon as Gu He's shout fell, the Earth Demon Puppet's knees bent slightly, and then with a boom, it shot up like a rocket, charging towards the silver lightning with that impact force.
Seeing the Earth Demon Puppet still choose such a head-on approach, the Black Scaled Frigid Python showed a look of surprise.
With the Earth Demon Puppet's speed, it appeared almost in the blink of an eye below the silver lightning, then clenched its fist again, a fiery red energy flowing out from its magic core, quickly enveloping its entire arm, making it look like a flame.
"Boom!"
The Earth Demon Puppet's clenched fist, without the slightest hesitation, struck out again!
With the punch, a sharp sonic boom rang out in space, terrifying ripples of air spread out from the fist like waves.
"Thud!"
The fist, filled with terrifying force, landed directly on the silver lightning. In that moment, the whole world seemed to freeze, and then an explosion that seemed to resonate in the depths of the soul spread across the sky.
The huge silver lightning, under the stunned gaze of the Black Scaled Frigid Python, gradually crumbled. At the moment of its collapse, the Black Scaled Frigid Python keenly noticed space cracks like a spiderweb where the Earth Demon Puppet's fist had struck, involuntarily gasping in shock.
As the silver lightning crumbled, the Earth Demon Puppet's body was also smashed down from the sky by the immense force, eventually crashing into the valley with a tremor that shook the ground.
The next moment, the Earth Demon Puppet's shimmering silver body flew out again, hovering above the stone platform, forming a human wall of defense in front of Gu He.
