Boom! Boom! Boom!
Deep within the Lightning Pool, sharp and deafening explosions continuously echoed. One surge after another of Black Demon Lightning roared like giant dragons, hurling themselves forward in waves as they lunged and snapped at Bei Wang.
However, each time the Black Demon Lightning made contact with Bei Wang's body, a flash of black light would appear, and the lightning would vanish without a trace.
Meanwhile, the countless black lightning arcs flickering across Bei Wang's body grew even brighter and more densely packed.
At the same time, in another far-off region, Xiao Yan's puppet, Nan Wang, was also greedily devouring and enduring the tempering baptism of the Black Demon Lightning. Its results seemed slightly weaker than Bei Wang's, but it too was steadily growing stronger, bit by bit.
Outside the edge of the Black Demon Lightning Pool, Wei Yang sat cross-legged. Watching this scene unfold, he couldn't help feeling a bit amazed. The strength of these two puppets was so overwhelming that even Wei Yang and Xiao Yan, their creators, felt slightly taken aback.
The bodies of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan were already exceptional among magical beasts, and Bei Wang and Nan Wang were the elite among them—both carrying royal Ancient Void Dragon bloodlines.
After being enhanced through countless precious materials and further tempered by Heavenly Flames, the physical strength of these two puppets had become terrifying.
In terms of sheer physical power alone, even Zi Yan, the Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline Dragon Emperor, was slightly inferior to these Ancient Void Dragon bodies that had undergone multiple rounds of refinement.
Therefore, even after absorbing so much Black Demon Lightning, neither puppet showed the slightest sign of reaching its limit. Instead, their strength continued rising steadily.
This… was a true masterpiece of puppet craftsmanship.
When refining puppets, the body was the most important thing. Materials with physical strength comparable to Bei Wang and Nan Wang were impossibly rare.
"At this rate, I'd say Bei Wang won't even need half a month before it reaches the Four-Star realm."
Wei Yang silently calculated in his heart, then smiled faintly.
This kind of growth speed was astonishing. In roughly half a month, Bei Wang would leap from Three-Star to Four-Star—a qualitative jump from the low-level to the mid-level.
However—
"The density of the bloodline power I left inside it is still a little lacking. I might as well give it another push so it can digest and absorb the lightning power even faster. At the same time, I can see just how far this separated drop of my bloodline can grow."
Wei Yang's thoughts shifted. He flipped his hand, took out a jade bottle, and crushed it.
A palm-sized cluster of mysterious black flame—seemingly formless and shapeless—slowly rose from his palm. This was the Nihility Devouring Flame's Sub-Flame. He had obtained it years ago in the Star Region near Holy Pill City from Elder Mu Gu.
Its power wasn't strong—only around the peak Dou Zong level. Because of that, Wei Yang had never taken it seriously and had tossed it aside in some corner to gather dust, almost forgetting it existed. Only now, having suddenly remembered it, did he finally bring it out again.
Staring at the Nihility Devouring Flame Sub-Flame hovering above his palm, Wei Yang narrowed his eyes slightly. "The legendary Nihility Devouring Flame…"
This flame seemed to merge with the surrounding space, giving off a sensation of existing yet untouchable. With his current vision, Wei Yang could now clearly see that this was a flame containing the special properties of void and devouring.
"Nihility and devouring attributes… not bad."
This discovery genuinely surprised him.
Fwoosh—
A surge of black flame erupted violently within his palm, wrapping around the Sub-Flame of the Nihility Devouring Flame, beginning to absorb it.
Clearly, Wei Yang had taken a liking to the Nihility Devouring Flame's strange properties—he was now using the Death Life Flame to devour and copy its abilities. This ability was something he rarely used anymore.
Aside from the Life Spirit Flame and the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame, he hadn't copied anything in a long time. Using it again now, he had finally chosen the Sub-Flame of the second-ranked Heavenly Flame in the world as his target.
With his current strength, there was hardly anything left on the continent that could worry him. Even if the unique properties of the Death Life Flame were revealed someday, he wouldn't care—nor would he be afraid.
There simply weren't many people left in this world who could fight or threaten him. As the absorption continued, the form of the Death Life Flame gradually began to change.
While it burned, it slowly grew more illusory, as though it was blending into the surrounding void.
"Nihility, emptiness…"
Wei Yang gently closed his eyes, falling into a strange state of comprehension.
This understanding of the void was far deeper than his usual grasp of spatial power. It was a layer of insight beyond that—a profound connection. As if he himself were becoming a part of the void.
I am the void. I am nothingness.
No one knew how long had passed before Wei Yang finally opened his eyes once more. A pair of pitch-black eyes had become like two deep black holes.
Anyone who looked directly into them, even without warning, would feel as if their very soul was about to be devoured by those terrifying pupils. At this moment, Wei Yang sat cross-legged, yet his entire being seemed to exist in another dimension—present, yet somehow absent.
With the naked eye, one could barely make out the outline of a black humanoid silhouette, but perception could not capture his presence at all.
"The power of Nihility Devouring Flame… what a terrifying and bizarre force. It truly deserves its rank as the second on the Heavenly Flame Ranking!" Wei Yang couldn't help but sigh.
He really had underestimated the fearsome nature of the Nihility Devouring Flame.
His original thought had been simple: Devouring properties? The Death Life Flame already had devouring abilities—and they were even stranger and more mysterious than the Nihility Devouring Flame's.
So for the longest time, he hadn't taken this Sub-Flame seriously at all. Now, however, his view had completely changed. If you excluded the Emperor Flame that had yet to be born, the Nihility Devouring Flame could be considered the rightful number one—an uncrowned king of Heavenly Flames.
How could a flame like this possibly have simple properties?
Its nature was already close to the level of the Dao itself.
"Nihility Devouring Power!"
Wei Yang slowly raised his other hand and lightly pressed downward.
Buzz~
A black hole silently spread out from his palm, spinning rapidly as it expanded. Along its path, everything ceased to exist—even light itself was distorted and swallowed.
It looked somewhat similar to the Great Heaven Creation Palm from that ancient Dou Sheng skeleton in the ruins, yet was clearly different.
This was a black hole. A real black hole.
Inside it was a terrifying, abyss-like void filled with a horrifying shredding force. Even through direct sight, light and vision were swallowed. The only visible part was the warped boundary of light around its outermost edge.
The black hole expanded, then instantly retracted, but in the Lightning Pool's extremely stable space, it left behind a circular region—roughly several dozen meters wide—of absolute void.
It was a perfect black circle.
Everything inside, even space itself, had vanished. It was like a painting from which someone had deliberately cut out a piece. Only then did the absent space slowly begin to repair itself, little by little.
"This…" Wei Yang lowered his head to look at the palm that had unleashed the black hole, and even he felt a little shocked.
Within the center of his palm, thin traces of energy were being absorbed into his body. This energy… was the refined essence produced after the black hole devoured and digested the section of space it had erased earlier.
He had actually taken a bite out of the void itself—devoured pure nothingness—and digested it?
Even space could be converted into energy to be consumed. Not even the Nihility Devouring Flame by itself could do something this terrifying, could it?
This was the combined fusion of the power of Life and Death with the power of Nihility Devouring, forming an unimaginably terrifying force. The resulting effect… was this monstrous?
He had merely acted on a random impulse—just casually tested a palm strike. He had never expected a result this shocking. Had he… just unknowingly created another High-Level Heaven Grade Dou Technique?
After the shock faded, Wei Yang felt a surge of delight. He hadn't expected to stumble into yet another frightening new power—born from the fusion of Nihility Devouring and Life-and-Death Power.
What should he call it? Nihility Life-and-Death Power?
"Well, since it evolved from the Great Heaven Creation Palm and contains both void and life-and-death attributes… I'll call you… hmm… 'Void Black Hole.'" Wei Yang casually named this new High-Level Heaven Grade Dou Technique.
Its destructive might was in no way inferior to Yellow Spring Heavenly Fury—in fact, it might even surpass it. Yellow Spring Divine Anger targeted the soul. Void Black Hole, however, targeted all forms of physical existence.
Once swallowed, everything would be broken down and converted into the purest energy for Wei Yang to absorb.
