Chapter 1186: Consuming the Soul-Washing Fruit

As soon as the words fell, Lin Feng waved his palm, sending out a gentle force that shot straight, driving one of the three Heavenly Snake Magic Beasts before him into the beast's body whose residual soul was sealed by the brain's internal control, leaving it unable to move.

The next moment, the Dou Qi inside it surged greatly in output, and after flowing through some meridians, it quickly poured into that strange fire.

Bang!

As the Dou Qi poured in, the strange fire surrounding the Western Dragon King's body suddenly surged, instantly raising to a horrifying temperature that continuously scorched the upper half of the Western Dragon King.

Ah!

The Western Dragon King's residual soul, trapped with all paths blocked by the strange fire, with no way to heaven or earth, let out a shrill wail the moment it touched those terrifyingly hot strange fires.

However, in this thunder-ravaged thunder pool, its wail was quickly drowned out by the sound of the raging thunder.

As for Lin Feng, he gave Xiao Ling a look at this moment, and the two quickly finished the handover, letting that little guy continue controlling the strange fire to complete the penultimate step of refining the body.

As for him, he stood there staring, ready to adjust the flame's temperature at any moment.

After all, Xiao Ling couldn't refine; all the fire-related parameters were provided by Lin Feng, and Xiao Ling merely adjusted the fire's state to match those parameters.

This refining process continued for another three days.

During this period, the residual soul inside the Western Dragon King's body in the cauldron also completely fused with the magic core into the body.

At the same time, the originally deathly Western Dragon King's eyes gradually showed a cold luster like metal.

This luster, combined with its body like a black tower, looked awe-inspiring and extremely intimidating from afar!

Moreover, its originally stiff body gradually loosened.

Of course, don't mistake this for the Western Dragon King's body becoming weak.

On the contrary, this loosening of the Western Dragon King's body now actually helps it better erupt its internal power.

In battle, it will be even more terrifying than before.

Come!

Not long after, the silent Lin Feng suddenly let out a loud shout from his mouth.

Boom!

As his shout rang out, the distant cauldron suddenly burst open violently.

Immediately, a huge black shadow flew out from it, and in the blink of an eye, it slowly landed before him.

Lin Feng looked at the black iron figure standing before him, and a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Hmm, its strength is roughly around late three-star Dou Saint; it seems that the five-star Dou Saint-level magic core wasn't used in vain.

Sensing the Western Dragon King's strength before him, Lin Feng's heart also faintly rejoiced.

It seems that refining this puppet truly follows the principle of 'no gain without loss'.

And while speaking, Lin Feng flicked his finger, sending a drop of blood flying from his fingertip to precisely land on the Western Dragon King's brow.

Hum!

The blood, upon touching the puppet, instantly turned into a faint blood mark, which then seeped into the Western Dragon King's forehead.

When the blood mark seeped in, a feeling of mental connection arose from Lin Feng's heart.

At this moment, he also gained control over this human puppet before him.

But soon after, he realized that the human puppet he had just finished refining seemed to still lack a name.

Hmm

After a moment's thought, Lin Feng shook his head, spread his hands, and said, 'Forget it, I'm too lazy to change the name; from now on you'll just keep being called the Western Dragon King.'

Yes, Master.

Hearing Lin Feng's words, the sturdy black shadow before him, its black face emitting a faint metallic luster, immediately rippled, and then a cold, emotionless hoarse voice slowly issued from the Western Dragon King's mouth.

After all, this Western Dragon King is a human puppet, not those unconscious heavenly demon puppets incapable of using combat techniques.

Therefore, while he was speaking, the Western Dragon King could actually open its mouth to reply to him.

'Since your strength somewhat exceeds my expectation, go ahead and enter the area of the black demon thunder ahead to absorb thunderous power and evolve.' Seeing that the Western Dragon King's strength far surpassed his judgment, Lin Feng pondered briefly and then made his decision.

As Lin Feng's will moved, the Northern King behind him fiercely stomped the void with his foot, his figure darting away under that immense force, swiftly charging into the pitch-black thunder region ahead.

Boom!

Just as the Western Dragon King's body entered the black demon thunder area of the thunder pool, the incessantly flying black lightning was instantly drawn to this wholly black Western Dragon King whose body was mixed with metallic material.

The next moment, a bolt of black lightning about ten zhang thick, like a startled angry python, coiled around the Northern King's head as a black light flared, emitting sizzling electricity continuously from within this black demon thunder.

Seeing this, Lin Feng behind it immediately controlled the puppet to stay in place and receive the baptism of the elixir lightning.

And because it showed no fear at all, instead staying put and preparing to clash head-on, the black demon thunder was provoked like a challenge; it then violently flung its latter half, hurling the black lightning in the sky down hard onto the Western Dragon King's shoulder.

When that black demon thunder just touched the Western Dragon King's shoulder, its body, as black as iron, suddenly erupted with a strange suction, forcibly pulling the thunder from above and sucking it into its body with a whoosh.

Sizzle!

Having dragged that black demon thunder—stronger than ordinary nine-tier treasure pills and enough to threaten a two-star Dou Saint expert—into its body, the Western Dragon King's body was instantly surrounded by rings of black lightning, wildly circling and eroding his body.

During the erosion by the black demon thunder, strange sounds continuously emanated from within the Western Dragon King's body.

Although these sounds were faint, Lin Feng in the distance, relying on the soul power he had released, could still hear them clearly.

Lin Feng gazed at the Western Dragon King entwined in black lightning waves, and a hint of joy rose in his eyes.

Because he could feel that the unusually violent black demon thunder power inflicted no injury whatsoever on the Western Dragon King's body.

After the black demon thunder rampaged wildly inside the puppet's body, the swallowed black thunder undulations gradually calmed down.

At the same time, the power of the black demon thunder was quickly broken down by the Western Dragon King and gradually merged into its body.

Those black violent thunderbolts, meanwhile, seeped into the Western Dragon King's muscles, bones, and cells, making it even more formidable!

'Not bad; if it continues like this, the Western Dragon King will soon break through to four-star Dou Saint. I just don't know what realm its limit will be.'

Watching the Western Dragon King, originally dark, become somewhat dimmer after a moment under the black demon thunder's tempering, Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction.

But soon after, he withdrew his gaze, shifted his focus to the other two materials before him, and said to the little guy beside him, 'Xiao Ling, let's continue.'

Okay.

Upon hearing that, Xiao Ling also quickly nodded, then began to release flames, smelting one of the two remaining bodies.

Afterwards, Lin Feng continued to refine the human puppet, while the West Dragon King entered the black demon thunder region of the Void Thunder Pool to devour thunderous power and evolve; within this thunder pool, a tranquility fell once again.

Of course, this is disregarding the sounds of the rampaging thunder.

And after this refining process continued for about half a month, the remaining South Dragon King and North Dragon King were also all refined by Lin Feng into human puppets and thrown into the black demon thunder region to evolve.

These three puppets are already all absorbing thunderous power; why don't I first try refining a ninth-grade elixir?

Gazing at the distant pitch-black region, Lin Feng immediately pondered.

After all, the puppets are currently absorbing thunderous power, and he has nothing else to do.

Um, right, I almost forgot; earlier I found many Soul-Washing Fruits in the spatial ring of that ninth-grade Golden Core master. I think I should consume those fruits to boost my strength. After all, one's own strength is the most reliable.

Upon thinking this, Lin Feng lightly rubbed his spatial ring, and in a faint glow, a fruit slightly smaller than a fist and yellow in color appeared in his hand.

Lin Feng lowered his gaze to examine the fruit, which bore some resemblance to the fruitless appearance of Blue Star, then swallowed his saliva, somewhat expectantly saying: 'I don't know how much benefit this Soul-Washing Fruit will bring me.'

Looking at the fruit in his hand, the former blinked his eyes, then without hesitation, directly shoved it into his mouth, and with a bite, he crushed the Soul-Washing Fruit.

Bang!

The Soul-Washing Fruit had just burst, and the energy hidden within it immediately diffused out, continually rising in spirals.

Amidst the continual rising of that energy, it soon drifted into Lin Feng's mind.

The next moment, to Lin Feng's delight, as soon as this energy entered his mind, the next moment he felt an extremely refreshing sensation.

At the same time, while that energy made him feel refreshed, an invisible wind suddenly sprang up in Lin Feng's mind.

Wherever that invisible wind went, Lin Feng instantly felt a sensation of lightness, as if about to become an immortal.

Furthermore, in this pleasant sensation, the former faintly discovered that, as his soul power was stirred back and forth by this clear breeze, some subtle thing seemed to be stripped from his soul power, thereby making his soul much more solid and pure.

Of course, what delighted Lin Feng most was that the energy within such a Soul-Washing Fruit seemed not bad.

After he bit open the Soul-Washing Fruit, that feeling actually lasted for over ten minutes before it began to fade. (End of chapter)
