Though it was now certain that he could control the Golden Dragon Lightning Poolâs core formation, Huang Xiaolong did not jump into refining the Netherworld Kingâs Jade recklessly. Instead, he familiarized himself with the Golden Dragon Lightning Poolâs power.
As Huang Xiaolong continued to familiarize himself with controlling the Golden Dragon Lightning Poolâs core formation, streaks of golden dragon lightning buzzed as they rotated around over his two arms.
Though these streaks of lightning were only slightly thicker than a thread, Huang Xiaolong could sense the terrifying destructive power within them.
Huang Xiaolong casually pointed his finger, and a streak of lightning shot out, passing through the Dragon Shark Flying Shipâs wall to outer space. And in the far distance, a small hole appeared in space.
Huang Xiaolong was genuinely astonished by this result.
âThe Golden Dragon Lightning Poolâs attack is so damn powerful!â
Even a mid-Tenth Order Ancestor God Realm masterâs attack would fail to execute this much degree of attack power.
With a wave, Huang Xiaolong merged the lightning streaks winding around his arms into a lightning beam, and shot it into the distant space.
Rumbleâ!
Far away, a hole appeared in space with violent hurricanes sweeping out in all directions.
Huang Xiaolong has once again astounded.
...
An hour later...
As Huang Xiaolong became more apt in controlling the Golden Dragon Lightning Poolâs power, his attacks with the golden dragon lightning qi power grew more powerful and lethal.
Huang Xiaolong felt at ease and confident in controlling the golden dragon lightning qiâs power half a day later. With that he turned his attention to the Netherworld Kingâs Jade.
Finally, it was time to refine the Netherworld Kingâs Jade!
Huang Xiaolong made an effort to calm his excited emotions and gradually entered an ethereal state. Subsequently, his three supreme godheadsâ godforce flowed into the Golden Dragon Lightning Poolâs core formation. Streaks of golden dragon lightning qi appeared on the surface of his skin and landed onto the netherworld Kingâs Jade.
The instant the golden dragon lightning qi came in contact with the Netherworld Kingâs Jade, a burst of black light surged out from the jade token. This black light condensed into a darkness archdevil sitting in cross-legged posture, hovering above the Netherworld Kingâs Jade. Darkness element energy roiled around the surreal archdevil, seemingly blocking the golden dragon lightning qiâs entry.
Huang Xiaolong wasnât surprised watching this. This darkness archdevil was probably the first restrictive formation of the Netherworld Kingâs Jade!
Huang Xiaolong continued to channel his three supreme godheadsâ godforce into the Golden Dragon Lightning Poolâs core formation, enhancing the flow of golden dragon lightning qi into the Netherworld Kingâs Jade.
Moments later, the golden dragon lightning qi formed a sea of golden dragon lightning qi around the darkness archdevil, which was roiling angrily.
One hour passed, two hours passed.... Half a day passed...
With its constant attacks, the Golden dragon lightning Qi finally began to chip away the darkness element energy around the archdevil, and disappeared entirely within three days. The archdevil submerged within the sea of golden dragon lightning qi, disintegrating inside it.
However, it consumed too much godforce to activate the Golden Dragon Lightning Poolâs core formation, and it was exhausting even though Huang Xiaolong had broken through to the Seventh Order Ancestor God Realm, and had three supreme godheads.
Everytime Huang Xiaolong felt his godforce was not going to hold on any longer, he dropped a thousand top-grade chaos spiritual pills into the Golden Dragon Lighting Poolâs core formation, turning them into robust medicinal energies in an instant to replenish his three supreme godheads.
A month later, after exhausting over twenty thousand top-grade chaos spiritual pills, the darkness archdevil was finally vanquished. There was nothing blocking the golden dragon lightning qi from entering the Netherworld Kingâs Jade anymore.
But a radiant black light was flickering unsteadily from the Netherworld Kingâs Jade.
Suddenly, a violent and overwhelming darkness element energy swept out from the Netherworld Kingâs Jade, like a volcanic eruption that was aiming to drown Huang Xiaolong.
Although Huang Xiaolong was prepared, this darkness element energy was too overbearing as it rushed in and took over every corner of his body. Due to the darkness element energy, the four divine firesâ spirits within Huang Xiaolongâs internal organs seemingly fell into a slumber, and the Moon Jade Heavenly Spiral Shellâs silvery radiance dimmed.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Rumble!
The moment the darkness element energy drowned his three supreme godheads, Huang Xiaolong started feeling like he was suffocating in hell.
His surroundings were filled with blinding darkness and an intense scent of blood.
There was no sky above, and no earth under his feet. There was nothing in front of him or behind him.
Moreover, there was an erosive power hidden within the permeating blood scent and the darkness that had begun devouring Huang Xiaolongâs soul.
Solid as Huang Xiaolongâs soul was, it was weakening under this erosion. In less than a dayâs time, his soulâs fire was akin to a candle burning at its end.
If his soulâs fire would get extinguished, then Huang Xiaolong would fall into a slumber for eternity, and waste away to his death.
When Huang Xiaolongâs soulâs fire was about to go out, there was a flickering light from Archdevil Supreme Godhead. The light grew brighter and stronger, and as the light intensified, Huang Xiaolongâs feeble soulâs fire became stable, brighter and stronger.
Huang Xiaolongâs soulâs fire lit up the surrounding darknessâit started with ten meters, a hundred meters, a thousand meters, ten thousand meters, and lastly, every corner of this piece of hell was lit up!
Suddenly, the space where Huang Xiaolong was trapped was filled with rumbling noises, as his soul started integrating with this piece of hell.
At the same time, the surrounding darkness element energy also started merging with his three supreme godheads.
The days flowed by.
A long time later, Huang Xiaolong awakened and opened his eyes and discovered that he was still inside the Dragon Shark Flying Shipâs cultivation room number one. The Netherworld Kingâs Jade hovered in front of him, emitting a soft halo.
But, he...!
When Huang Xiaolong checked his internal situation, he was frightenedâthe late Eighth Order Ancestor God Realm!
This!
His cultivation had actually advanced several orders consecutively until the late-Eighth Order Ancestor God Realm!
Huang Xiaolong was ecstatic, as he hadnât expected to break through to the late-Eighth Order Ancestor God Realm by merely refining the Netherworld Kingâs Jade first level restrictions and obtaining the darkness element energy!
But cold sweat dampened Huang Xiaolongâs back as he remembered the feeling of drowning in endless darkness. If it wasnât for his supreme darkness element godhead, his soul would have died, and there would have been nothing left, but an empty shell!
âI wonder how long has passed?â Huang Xiaolong wondered as he put away the Netherworld Kingâs Jade into his body. He exited the cultivation room and asked Xiang Xun. Five years had passed since he had entered the cultivation room!
Five years! Huang Xiaolong sighed in relief.
Fortunately.
Huang Xiaolong immediately ordered the Dragon Shark Flying Ship back to the Fortune Gate. He was planning to resolve the evil spirit inside Li Luâs body, before attempting to refine the Netherworld Kingâs Jadeâs second restriction.
He was confident that his current late-Eighth Order Ancestor God Realmâs strength was enough to do so.
There were twelve years left until the Fortune Gate headquartersâ recruitment deadline, therefore, there was enough time for him to refine the Netherworld Kingâs Jadeâs second restriction.
Soon, Huang Xiaolong was back at the Fortune Gate and met up with Li Lu. Her eyes shone with anticipation when Huang Xiaolong told her that he was going to resolve the evil spirit inside her body. âXiaolong, have you already broken through to the Seventh Order Ancestor God Realm?â
