Kapitel 170: The Youngest Grandmaster of the Current Era!
"Black Demon Lightning... It's been many years since I've seen it..."
"That kid Gu Fei is truly a monster! At such a young age, he's already capable of refining a ninth-grade pill. If the people from the Yao Clan knew about this, they'd probably question their own lives..."
"Haha... With such a genius in our clan, we can continue to prosper for thousands of years!"
As expected, Gu Fei's pill refining once again alarmed many of the elders of the Gu Clan. At this moment, outside Gu Fei's mountain, a dozen Dou Saint experts were hidden in the void, observing.
Earlier, they had thought that Gu Fei might one day reach the level of a ninth-grade grandmaster, but they never imagined it would happen so soon!
Gu Yuan, dressed in plain robes, also looked up at the sky, staring at the strange black clouds, and muttered, "Our Gu Clan truly has successors. If there are two pinnacle Nine-Star Dou Saints in this era, who else would dare defy us?"
"Is this the legendary Black Demon Lightning Tribulation? The records say that the appearance of the Black Demon Lightning Tribulation signifies the imminent birth of a ninth-grade treasure pill..."
Xun'er was among the first of the younger generation of the Gu Clan to arrive at the scene. Her beautiful eyes were full of astonishment. This kind of lightning tribulation was something she had only read about in records, never having seen it in person.
"Oh my god, what is that?"
"Just looking at the thundercloud makes me uneasy. If that lightning tribulation were to descend, I'd probably be reduced to ashes in an instant!"
"Gu Fei truly deserves to be the number one among the younger generation of our Gu Clan. He can already refine Treasure Pills. Given time, he might even be able to refine Mysterious Pills!"
"A Grandmaster of Mysterious Pills? That's a title that hasn't been seen in hundreds of years!"
Soon, more and more of the younger generation of the Gu Clan arrived at the scene. As they recalled the records of the Black Demon Lightning, their admiration for Gu Fei grew even stronger.
At that moment, on the peak of the mountain, Gu Fei, who was seated cross-legged beside the pill cauldron, was also looking up at the writhing black clouds with a serious expression.
From within those clouds, he felt an extremely dense and destructive force. This force was far more powerful than the Nine-Colored Pill Thunder...
High in the sky, the black clouds continued to writhe, and the entire world fell into a deathly silence. There wasn't a hint of thunder, but it was this very silence that made the situation even more terrifying.
As the black clouds continued to churn, about ten minutes later, a circular hole slowly opened in the center of the cloud layer. The hole remained pitch black, like the deepest black hole.
"This lightning tribulation is so terrifying... Can my husband handle it?"
Feeling the terror emanating from that black hole, Xiao Yi Xian, who was holding the children, became worried.
"Don't worry. Zi Yan is now a Four-Star Dou Saint, so she should be able to deal with this lightning tribulation. Besides, there are so many elders of the Gu Clan watching!"
"Husband won't be in any danger!"
"True. No matter how strong the lightning tribulation is, Zi Yan and the elders of the Gu Clan will stop it!"
Hearing Cai Lin's words, the tension on Xiao Yi Xian's face faded, replaced by a smile.
"Shhh!"
In an instant, a strange sound came from within the black hole in the sky, and then, a thick black lightning bolt shot out silently, streaking toward Gu Fei's pill cauldron below.
"Let's step back a bit. We don't want the aftershocks to hurt the children!"
Seeing this, Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian quickly moved the children away from the mountain.
The Lion King and Qing Lin also felt the pressure and retreated slightly. Only Zi Yan and Venerable Tian Huo remained in place, watching closely.
"Dear elders, I want to experience the power of this Black Demon Lightning myself!"
Gu Fei's figure flashed into the sky, appearing directly beneath the descending black lightning bolt.
At the same time, a voice echoed from Gu Fei's mouth.
Hearing this, the Dou Saint elders of the Gu Clan, who had been planning to help Gu Fei block the lightning tribulation, paused.
"God Seal Technique!"
"Great Heaven Creation Palm!"
"Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique!"
Gu Fei unleashed his full Dou Qi, consecutively performing several low Heaven-tier Dou Techniques.
(TL/n: The Demon Saint inheritance which you skipped has a high Heaven-tier Dou Technique- just saying.)
Over the past two years, although Gu Fei hadn't spent much time training, refining pills had also consumed a tremendous amount of Dou Qi. It was through this process that Gu Fei completed the final change of his peak Dou Venerate stage, breaking through to the pinnacle of the Ninth Change Dou Venerate.
At this moment, the first few Heaven-tier Dou Techniques crumbled instantly upon contact with the black lightning. The sky echoed with continuous rumbling.
The Black Demon Lightning was so powerful that even a Half-Saint would have to give it their all to withstand a single bolt.
Despite Gu Fei's efforts, the Black Demon Lightning continued its descent undeterred.
"It seems that Gu Fei can't block the Black Demon Lightning. Why isn't he avoiding it?"
Seeing this, a few Dou Saint elders from the Gu Clan began to worry about Gu Fei.
"Don't worry. With the clan leader and the Black Submerged King here, there's no way Gu Fei will be harmed."
Some of the more experienced elders were completely unconcerned about Gu Fei's safety.
"Break!"
In mid-air, as the Black Demon Lightning approached, Gu Fei still did not choose to dodge.
Terrifying energy quickly gathered in his fist, a brilliant crystalline light radiating from it.
Then, under the astonished gazes of many, Gu Fei punched the black lightning bolt.
"Boom!"
The collision created a devastating storm, centering on the man and the lightning. The space in that area shattered like broken glass, with explosive sounds echoing everywhere.
Amid the shattering space, the Black Demon Lightning did not dissipate, and black lightning arcs began to wreak havoc on Gu Fei's body, producing crackling sounds.
"Husband!"
Although they knew many powerful figures were watching over the area, Xiao Yi Xian and Cai Lin couldn't help but cry out in alarm upon seeing this.
That was Black Demon Lightning.
Lightning that could shatter a Half-Saint.
And now, it was wreaking havoc on a mortal body.
Just imagining the danger was terrifying!
If an ordinary person were touched by it, they would be instantly reduced to ashes, beyond any possibility of survival.
"Who would have thought that Gu Fei's physical body would be so strong!"
Several elders of the Gu Clan clicked their tongues in amazement, their eyes filled with admiration as they watched the black lightning arcs surround Gu Fei's body.
Under their watchful eyes, the deadly Black Demon Lightning, which could destroy all life, failed to destroy Gu Fei's body.
Instead, the heavenly flames on Gu Fei's body gradually refined the black lightning, turning it into pure energy that was absorbed into his flesh.
Even though the power of the Black Demon Lightning had been greatly reduced by Gu Fei's earlier techniques, his act of facing it head-on was still awe-inspiring.
Lightning of this magnitude would deter even a true Dou Saint from enduring it with their physical body, yet Gu Fei, who hadn't even reached Half-Saint, stood firm at the peak of Dou Venerate.
