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!"
