Chapter 474: Late One-Star Dou Saint
After Medusa entered the lair of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, Xiao Ze took Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin and left the headquarters of the Nine Nether Earth Serpent clan. Breaking through the space, they entered the endless void, heading towards the Ancient Dragon Island situated within the infinite void.
Xiao Ze didn't need to worry too much about Medusa's safety. The Nine Nether Yellow Springs was an extremely cold place, rarely entered by strong individuals. Moreover, the Yellow Springs was considered a sacred ground of the Nine Nether Earth Serpent clan. With Xiao Ze's request, Yao Ming would do his best to guard the Yellow Springs, preventing any external threats from entering. Additionally, if an unresolvable crisis occurred, Medusa could use the golden tree to summon Xiao Ze instantly.
As Xiao Ze's strength had advanced to the Dou Saint level, the golden tree's power had also increased. Using the golden tree, Xiao Ze could instantly reach the location of its owner, making it a more powerful version of a spatial jade slip, unaffected by space storms or barriers. Therefore, Xiao Ze felt reassured leaving Medusa in the depths of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs.
The endless void was mostly dark and desolate, filled with hidden dangers. The lurking threats in the void were so formidable that even Dou Zun experts dared not wander carelessly. Within this dark expanse, a silver thunder battleship, several dozen meters long, swiftly sailed through the void.
Xiao Ze stood at the bow of the ship. With his mastery over thunder and soul power, creating such an impressive thunder battleship was effortless. Inside the ship's cabin, Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin were both cultivating.
Xiao Ze's aura fluctuated like a stormy sea but gradually stabilized over time. He exhaled a faint golden breath, feeling his strength growing even more robust. During the journey to Ancient Dragon Island, Xiao Ze had refined the Demon Saint's blood, enhancing his own power.
He sensed the small world still forming around the Primordial Tree within the void. The tree now stood over 190,000 meters tall, signifying Xiao Ze had reached the late stage of a one-star Dou Saint, just a few thousand meters shy of advancing to a two-star Dou Saint.
"This remaining gap can be closed with another one or two months of cultivation," Xiao Ze mused. After reaching the Dou Saint realm, progress wasn't as rapid. Only ninth-grade pills could now significantly boost his strength.
"I should find time to refine a ninth-grade Treasure Pill... As for a ninth-grade Mystic Pill, its energy is too overwhelming for me to absorb at this stage," Xiao Ze thought, simultaneously using his soul power to scan the surroundings. If they encountered ordinary spatial turbulence, he could simply plow through with the thunder battleship. However, the endless void harbored many demonic creatures, posing potential threats even to Dou Saint experts.
Generally, only Dou Zun and above experts dared to explore the void, indicating its perilous nature. Exceptions like the Ancient Void Dragon clan were rare. Xiao Ze's soul sensing swept across thousands of miles, confirming no anomalies before he began practicing the newly acquired heavenly skills.
The inheritance from the Yellow Springs Demon Saint was exceptionally valuable. Besides the complete manuals for three heavenly skills, it included the Demon Saint's lifelong insights. Although Xiao Ze had yet to use the skills, these insights allowed him to master them proficiently.
He pressed forward into the chaotic space with a golden finger, piercing through a turbulent area spanning dozens of miles. The turbulence dissipated, posing no threat.
"I can now use the Yellow Springs Finger effortlessly. The Yellow Springs Palm should be similar," Xiao Ze said, steering the thunder battleship towards another direction. Soon, they encountered a region of floating stones. With a reverse palm strike, Xiao Ze's golden Dou Qi formed a massive imprint, shattering the stone field to dust.
After confirming the coordinates and ensuring they were far from Ancient Dragon Island, Xiao Ze swiftly formed a seal with his hands. Radiant Dou Qi coalesced, creating a gigantic golden phantom hundreds of meters tall.
"Boom!"
The phantom emitted a peculiar sound wave, spreading in all directions and engulfing hundreds of miles of space. The terrifying wave obliterated everything in its path, from spatial turbulence to floating rocks.
"The Yellow Springs Fury is indeed formidable, even at a dispersed power level. Concentrating it in one direction could severely injure or even kill a peak three-star Dou Saint. The soul damage would be the most critical part," Xiao Ze remarked, satisfied with the skill's power. His sonic blast had cleared the surrounding space of any turbulence.
Half a day later, Xiao Ze spotted the Ancient Dragon Island, shielded by a silver barrier. He alerted Qing Lin and Xiao Yixian through the Primordial Tree.
Standing on the ship's deck, Qing Lin sensed Xiao Ze's strengthened aura. "You seem stronger, Xiao Ze."
"How's your cultivation going?" Xiao Ze asked.
Xiao Yixian shook her head, "No significant progress. At this stage, short-term gains are hard to achieve."
Qing Lin smiled, "I've advanced by one level."
"Your Green Snake Three-Flower Pupils are truly enviable," Xiao Yixian sighed.
Qing Lin replied, "Don't envy me. Your Woeful Poison Body has immense potential. You just need to find highly toxic substances to quickly improve."
Xiao Yixian sighed, "It's not that easy. At my level, most toxins have no effect."
As they chatted, the thunder battleship reached the silver barrier of Ancient Dragon Island. Xiao Ze dispersed the thunder battleship, condensing the thunder power back within himself.
Outside the barrier stood a burly figure, who greeted Xiao Ze respectfully, "Lord Xiao Ze!"

Chapter 475: Return to the Void Thunder Pool!
Seeing the familiar figure, Xiao Ze smiled and greeted, "Senior Hei Qing, it's been a long time. How have you been?"
"Haha, I don't dare accept the title of 'senior' from you now," Hei Qing laughed, scratching his head. "I've heard about you on the Ancient Dragon Island. The new president of the Pill Tower, a revered ninth-grade alchemist."
"I'm friends with Zi Yan, and since you're her elder, you deserve the title of senior," Xiao Ze said with a smile, bringing Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin forward.
"I didn't inform you in advance about this visit. I hope it's not an inconvenience?"
"Xiao Ze, your help to our Ancient Void Dragon clan has been immense. There's no such thing as an inconvenience. Please, follow me," Hei Qing replied courteously, leading Xiao Ze and his companions into the Ancient Dragon Island.
Soon, they arrived at the palace of Elder Zhu Li. Standing in front of the palace, Elder Zhu Li looked at Xiao Ze and was slightly surprised, unable to discern Xiao Ze's strength.
"What brings you to the Ancient Dragon Island, Xiao Ze?" Elder Zhu Li asked after some pleasantries.
"As a ninth-grade alchemist and the president of the Pill Tower, you must be very busy. You wouldn't come here unless it's something important."
"Elder Zhu Li, I intend to go to the Void Thunder Pool again to further refine my lightning abilities. I also wanted to check on Zi Yan's progress," Xiao Ze explained.
"Zi Yan is still in seclusion in the Dragon Hall. She's stable, and her strength is steadily increasing," Elder Zhu Li replied, a joyful expression spreading across his face as he spoke of Zi Yan.
As a long-lived elder of the Ancient Void Dragon clan, Elder Zhu Li had witnessed its peak. The clan's fragmentation due to internal conflict pained him deeply. If Zi Yan could refine the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit and become a Dou Saint, she could rightfully become the Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragon clan.
"That's good to hear," Xiao Ze nodded, pleased that Zi Yan was making progress. He had personally helped her refine the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, ensuring she could absorb its energy smoothly without turning into a crystalline form and becoming a dragon encased in amber.
"By the way, my two friends here can't train in the Void Thunder Pool. They'll need to stay on the island for a while," Xiao Ze mentioned.
"Of course, Xiao Ze. Feel free to go to the Void Thunder Pool. We will provide the best training facilities for the two ladies here," Elder Zhu Li promptly assured.
Xiao Ze didn't stay long on the island. After settling Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin, he bid farewell to Elder Zhu Li and Hei Qing, setting off alone for the Void Thunder Pool. With the coordinates known, he didn't need Hei Qing's assistance.
Besides, he suspected that other dragon kings might send troublemakers to the island, and it would be beneficial for Hei Qing to stay back and handle them. Though this was just a consideration, it wasn't certain if those troubles would arise due to Xiao Ze's intervention in the timeline.
In the Void Thunder Pool, a silver lightning bolt hovered at the entrance. Xiao Ze, arriving at the pool, smiled.
This time, he intended to transform his inner lightning power completely into Black Demon Lightning. Xiao Ze's figure turned into a flash of lightning, diving into the pool. With his current lightning power, the surrounding bolts avoided him.
Enveloped in silver lightning streaked with hints of black, Xiao Ze's presence made the surrounding lightning bolts shy away, not daring to approach. His speed allowed him to traverse the pool's outskirts quickly.
As he saw a hint of blackness in the silver world, Xiao Ze raised an eyebrow. "Principal, must you provoke this Black Demon Lightning?"
Xiao Ze saw an elderly figure rushing out from the depths of the Void Thunder Pool. It was Mang Tian Chi, the principal of the Jia Nan Academy.
Mang Tian Chi, unaware of Xiao Ze's presence until he spoke, was startled and turned to see Xiao Ze leisurely observing. "You rascal, seeing me in trouble and not lending a hand!" Mang Tian Chi grumbled, blowing his beard and glaring.
"I saw you enjoying yourself," Xiao Ze teased, shielding Mang Tian Chi with a lightning barrier to fend off the Black Demon Lightning's attacks.
Finally escaping the lightning, Mang Tian Chi approached Xiao Ze, eyeing him curiously. "Ridiculous! What kind of monster are you now?"
"I recently broke through to the late stage of a one-star Dou Saint," Xiao Ze answered.
Mang Tian Chi was stunned. He had thought Xiao Ze was at the half-saint level, like himself. But Xiao Ze had already become a genuine Dou Saint.
"You monster!" Mang Tian Chi exclaimed. "Among the younger generation of ancient clans, you're probably the foremost talent."
"Even compared to you, those kids in my clan give me endless headaches. Last time, they were severely injured during the Yanmo trial. Otherwise, I wouldn't have left so abruptly without saying goodbye."
Xiao Ze smiled, not commenting on the clan's issues. "With your strength, Principal, reaching the Dou Saint level is just a matter of time."
"Enough flattery. Are you here to explore the depths of the Void Thunder Pool?" Mang Tian Chi asked.
"Yes, I want to transform my lightning power into Black Demon Lightning," Xiao Ze confirmed.
