Boom! Boom! Boom!
Brilliant lightning, like roaring dragons rampaging across the heavens, wildly danced in fury. Then, carrying dazzling bolts of thunder, it surged downward like a deluge, finally slamming into Wei Yang suspended in mid-air.
The lightning struck his body hard, exploding into radiant sparks, then splitting into countless tiny electric snakes that crawled endlessly across his skin before burrowing into his body.
That thunder force surged inside, then was rapidly absorbed, transforming into nourishment, strengthening his bones, flesh, meridians, and even his very cells.
From afar, Wei Yang looked like a true God of Thunder, hovering in the sky. Within a radius of ten zhang around him, lightning flashed and flickered. That terrifying display made everyone watching feel their scalps go numb.
The violent rampage of the Five-Colored thundercloud lasted nearly ten minutes before it finally began to subside. During those ten minutes, over a hundred bolts of terrifyingly powerful lightning struck down from the cloud, yet none of them could do anything to Wei Yang.
On the other side, the Earth Demon Puppet was the same.
At the peak of Dou Zong level, after withstanding more than a hundred strikes of thunder, not only was it unharmed, but its brilliant silver body even began to faintly shimmer with traces of golden luster.
The Earth Demon Puppet was gradually evolving toward the Sky Demon Puppet. However, a true Sky Demon Puppet was entirely golden. Compared to that stage, this one still had quite a long way to go.
Amid the endless thunder glow, Wei Yang frowned slightly.
"Not enough, the energy is far from enough."
Crack~ Crack~
He clenched both fists, his bones creaking loudly.
At this moment, his physical body had already become far stronger than before, and even the Hou bloodline within him had grown much denser. His body had successfully crossed into the Dou Zun level.
But his Dou Qi was still in the midst of its breakthrough, not yet having completed its transformation. After all, advancing from Dou Zong into Dou Zun required an enormous amount of energy.
Most of the energy from those hundred bolts of lightning had been devoured by his body and bloodline. On top of that, the Extinguishing Flame of Life had also secretly stolen some.
What remained was simply not enough for Wei Yang to fully complete the transformation of his Dou Qi. Yet once a breakthrough began, it could not simply be cut off halfway.
As he pondered whether to temporarily draw in the energy of heaven and earth through his cultivation method to maintain this breakthrough state, then wait until the Pill Gathering ended before going into seclusion…
At that very moment.
The two Five-Colored Thunderclouds in the sky suddenly began to change.
Perhaps enraged by Wei Yang and the Earth Demon Puppet's absorption of lightning, they began to churn violently. Suddenly, an unusual suction force burst out from them.
Immediately, to everyone's shock, the other thunderclouds in the sky began to slowly drift as if pulled, converging toward the two Five-Colored Thunderclouds.
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned. Even Xuan Kongzi and the others had never expected that these Pill Lightnings could evolve into such a strange phenomenon.
Old Mu Gu and the other contestants were dumbfounded as well, forced to watch helplessly as the thunderclouds circling above their own heads were pulled away toward Wei Yang and Xiao Yan.
Moments later, after swallowing the other clouds, the two massive Five-Colored Thunderclouds loomed above the heavens. And then, writhing and churning, they began slowly merging together, gradually forming a single vast and boundless thundercloud.
The remaining Tier 8 contestants stared blankly at their Pill Lightning, which had disappeared without reason, leaving them utterly dumbfounded.
The immense Five-Colored Thundercloud that suddenly gathered together almost completely shrouded the sky above the Pill Gathering plaza. Such a terrifying sight instantly stirred unrest throughout the crowd.
This thundercloud was simply too enormous and too dreadful. If it unleashed its power indiscriminately, hardly anyone present would survive.
"The Pill Lightning are actually merging together, which means their power will rise again. Should we intervene? In this situation, even if we step in to help, it wouldn't be considered unfair."
Gazing at the unimaginably vast Five-Colored Thundercloud in the sky, Xuan Kongzi frowned and spoke.
He was also worried. If Wei Yang and Xiao Yan were to meet with an accident under such circumstances, it would be absurd.
"Let's wait a bit. I don't think those two brats look particularly nervous."
Hearing this, the cheongsam-clad woman gently shook her head and said softly, "Besides, look at that Wei Yang kid. His aura is highly unstable."
"He's breaking through to Dou Zun." The stern old man said somewhat helplessly.
Hearing this, Xuan Kongzi also turned his gaze to Wei Yang, who floated in the air wreathed in blood flames and lightning. Looking carefully, he realized it was indeed so.
Good heavens, he's actually using the Pill Lightning at the Pill Gathering to break through to Dou Zun?! That courage, no one else could compare. Is he not afraid of being disturbed, having his breakthrough ruined, and ending in failure?
Who in their right mind dares to attempt a breakthrough in front of everyone, in such a public setting?
Yet right now, Wei Yang raised his head, staring at the thunderclouds that filled the sky. On his face, there was not the slightest trace of worry, instead it was full of excitement and impatience.
"This..."
Xuan Kongzi opened his mouth, then gave a bitter smile and shook his head.
"Be ready, if anyone dares to interfere with Wei boy's breakthrough, we immediately strike and kill them on the spot."
"Mm."
The Three Great Leaders all prepared themselves to act at any moment.
As the massive thundercloud fully formed, with its rolling surges, the energy of heaven and earth itself became violently restless.
A terrifying might of thunder spread across this space, pressing down so heavily that even the Dou Qi within one's body seemed to grow sluggish.
Faintly, a gigantic, multicolored energy vortex was beginning to form. And at the very center of that vortex, was Wei Yang. Seeing this scene, everyone instantly understood what was happening.
"He... he's breaking through, he's going to step into Dou Zun!"
"What, he dares to break through under Pill Lightning?!"
"This... insane, completely insane!"
Everyone was utterly shocked by Wei Yang's audacious move.
This action, it was far too reckless.
Who would dare to break through like this? Perhaps this was the most outrageous method of reaching Dou Zun ever seen.
At the same time, countless people's gazes burned hotly, staring at that blood-red figure suspended in the air, standing tall like a thunder god.
Dou Zun!
In the eyes of many, that already represented standing at the very peak of the continent.
As for Dou Sheng, they only existed in legends. Many people not only had never seen one, they had scarcely even heard much news about such beings. Therefore, Dou Zun was already the highest level that the majority present could truly comprehend or come into contact with.
Now this young man, not only had he refined a Five-Colored Tier 8 Pill, but he was also about to break through into the realm of Dou Zun in one stroke!
Either of these achievements alone were dreams that most people here could never even hope to touch in their entire lives. And Wei Yang held both. How could this not stir endless envy?
"He's really going to break into Dou Zun?" Xiao Yan also raised his head, staring at that blood-red figure, muttering softly.
Even Xiao Yan hadn't expected Wei Yang to seize the chance of Pill Lightning to step into Dou Zun.
This way of breaking through was without question exceedingly rare. Others, when breaking through, who didn't seek out some hidden place to go into seclusion?
Not far away, Xian'er and Ah Da had already risen to their feet, faces grave. Their eyes swept over the surroundings with sharp vigilance, locking especially on Old Mu Gu as their primary target.
At this point, they no longer bothered to hide their strength. So long as Old Mu Gu showed the slightest sign of movement, the two of them would strike without hesitation, aiming to kill him on the spot.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan also grew solemn, his attention locking firmly onto his surroundings.
"Damn it, he really used the Pill Lightning to shatter his bottleneck... and that was the bottleneck of Dou Zun! Just like that, he's broken through!" Old Mu Gu glared fiercely at the figure in midair, gnashing his teeth in hatred.
But beyond that hatred, there was only helplessness.
He could only watch as Wei Yang broke through, completely unwilling. Of course he wanted to stop it, but one glance at the high platform, where the Three Great Leaders' killing intent was already locking onto him, and he could only give up.
