Chapter 966: Nine-Tier Magic Core

Boom—!

When the time came to the next day, deep in the Void Space, a low, heavy boom suddenly rang out.

Immediately after, a colossal emerald-green light pillar tens of zhang tall, like a laser piercing heaven and earth, suddenly surged with vast fluctuations and shot straight up!

Of course, in this endless pitch-black void, there was no distinction of up, down, left, right, or heaven and earth.

At the instant that light pillar appeared, a tremendous energy wave burst outward, stirring the dou qi within a radius of tens of li into violent turmoil!

Next, within the pitch-black Void Space, faint outlines of dark clouds began to coalesce above Lin Feng.

Sensing this change, he instinctively raised his somewhat pallid face, worn from prolonged nonstop pill refining, and gazed toward the distant sky.

There, colored thunderclouds began to roil, and various hues of light started to emerge from within the thick dark clouds.

After several rounds of churning, the dark clouds above finally gave rise to a ninth color.

Nine-Colored Dan Thunder!

Seeing the nine colors appear one by one in the sky, Lin Feng's lips twitched up slightly as he chuckled, "Nine-Colored Bodhi Pill—looks like all my efforts these past days weren't in vain."

Next, Lin Feng lightly tapped his spatial ring and took out a gray puppet forged during this period by a Dou Zun of the Starfall Pavilion.

This ancient puppet, after testing by Lin Feng over this period, was found to be able to absorb lightning power and evolve, just like that demonic puppet.

Go, block those Dan Thunders!

Gazing at the sturdy gray puppet beside him, he immediately commanded.

Whoosh!

Upon receiving the command, the puppet's right foot stepped into the void, its body shooting out explosively, generating a sonic boom that violently compressed the surrounding void storms.

It carved a visible vacuum tunnel through the void, shooting straight up toward the mass of Nine-Colored Thunderclouds above!

Boom—

At the very moment the puppet surged upward, the rolling thunderclouds in the high sky suddenly erupted and began to spread rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, the space within tens of li above Lin Feng was completely occupied by variegated thunderclouds.

A formidable thunderous pressure emanated from within, causing Lin Feng below to feel a chill creep over his skin.

The churning Nine-Colored Thunderclouds above grew ever more violent.

Next, thunderous roars like a beast's growl echoed continuously across the sky.

Thick as several persons, gorgeous lightning writhed like pythons, weaving through the colored cloud layers.

Hiss!

As the lightning serpents writhed, the clouds above suddenly constricted, then a bolt of Nine-Colored Lightning several meters thick—like a rainbow dragon piercing heaven and earth—burst from the clouds, tore through space with a terrifying crackle, and slammed fiercely into the cyan cauldron before Lin Feng.

At the instant that Dan Thunder struck, the surrounding Void Space within tens of li flashed bright.

The horrifying scene was like an apocalyptic catastrophe!

Yet, facing that terrifying Dan Thunder that even made Lin Feng's heart leap, the puppet in the sky showed no hesitation, slamming head‑on into the mighty lightning bolts three or four times thicker than itself.

Boom! Boom!

As the puppet collided with the gorgeous Nine-Colored Lightning, the earth‑shaking blast rang out like a roaring dragon, reverberating across the horizon.

And that fierce Nine-Colored Dan Thunder, in this explosion, was shattered into countless tiny colored lightning sparks that blanketed the puppet's surroundings for tens of zhang.

Innumerable tiny colored lightning spears incessantly streamed over the puppet's gray exterior, then burrowed into its body, tempering it to become even more fearsome.

I hope this time I can evolve this puppet from a Six‑Transformation Dou Zun to an Eight‑Transformation.

Gazing upward at the puppet, wreathed in countless lightning sparks like a thunder god, Lin Feng murmured softly.

Meanwhile, as Lin Feng succeeded in refining the Bodhi Pill, far away in a mountain valley near the Beast Domain in Central State, Feng'er was nearing the end of refining those desiccated skulls.

At this moment, the nine skulls before her had completely transformed into several pools of thick energy.

As for the desiccated flesh and bones, they had long since vanished without a trace.

Heave!

Seeing that the refinement was nearly complete, Feng'er's clear shout suddenly rang out in the valley.

Her delicate hands swiftly moved before her, forming a strange seal.

Next, those cyan liquid energies before her, under the pressure of the surrounding black flames, were pushed toward the center, slowly drawing together.

Hum!

Soon after, as the pools of liquid energy made contact, an invisible shockwave burst outward at extreme speed.

Feng'er, who was controlling the fusion of those energies, instantly felt them erupt with a powerful repelling force, causing her seal to tremble slightly.

Though this repulsion was quickly subdued by her sheer will, she then pressed on, forcing the nine pools of energy to merge.

As for those energies, although they mutually repelled each other, the external compressive force stronger than the repulsion eventually compelled them to begin merging slowly.

At the same time, as the nine pools of energy merged, the large mass of liquid energy in the sky gradually grew denser.

Moreover, in this process, those energies even began to solidify.

No wonder it's the energy of a Dou Sheng‑level Heavenly Snake—it's incredibly potent. Even if I were to swallow it now, my flesh would likely burst instantly from the overload!

Gazing at the semi‑solid energy mass tens of meters ahead, Feng'er's violet eyes flickered as she marveled inwardly.

This was the first time she had ever seen a magic‑beast core of such caliber.

Although it's said that the clan's deepest vault stores several Nine‑Tier Magic Cores.

But with her former status, she couldn't even approach the vault's depths, let alone lay eyes on those Nine‑Tier Magic Cores.

As the fusion continued, after about another hour, Feng'er's magic core before her finally completed fusion and solidified into a dark‑green sphere the size of a human head.

At the instant that green magic core formed, a dim, yin‑cold aura burst forth without warning, swiftly blanketing the surrounding area for several li; even the blazing sun above was completely blocked, unable to shine through.

And wherever that yin‑cold aura passed, both ground and trees became coated with a layer of dark ice.

So this is a Nine‑Tier Magic Core? This yin‑cold power is truly terrifying—I wouldn't dare touch it lightly.

Gazing at the deep‑green magic core before her, Feng'er's eyes involuntarily flashed with a hint of apprehension.

Meanwhile, below, Qing Lin saw the magic core appear, and a hint of joy instantly appeared on her delicate melon-seed face.

Immediately afterwards, she lightly tapped the ground with her toes, her delicate body swooped, and she arrived in the sky above.

"Feng Er elder sister, now that we've refined the magic core, can you tell what strength this magic beast had in life?"

Coming to Feng Qinger's side, Qing Lin curiously glanced at the green magic core the size of her own head, then looked toward her and said.

"Mm, I think it should be around Eight-Star Dou Saint."

Feng Qinger recalled the clan chief she had seen at a certain ceremony earlier, compared it with this magic core, and then gave her guess.

Immediately after, her beautiful eyes glanced sideways at the huge corpse below, and she continued: "Furthermore, this heavenly snake shows no obvious external injuries, and both its soul and body remain intact, so we can rule out murder. I think it possibly died because its lifespan had come to an end, then it failed a breakthrough to Nine-Star Dou Saint, ran out of fuel, and perished here."

"In that case, our luck is indeed good, hehe."

Speaking, Qing Lin's cyan-green pupils followed her gaze and fixed on the corpse that was several kilometers long.

"Feng Er elder sister, let's finish it off and refine its body as well."

Qing Lin rubbed her little hands, her expression somewhat excited as she spoke.

She remembered that when the young master refined many pills, he also needed the essence blood or magic core of magic beasts for assistance.

Inside this corpse, a magic core has already been refined; if we could also squeeze out a few drops of essence blood, we would really strike it rich.

"Alright, then you first put away this magic core, and I will now refine the body of this nine-headed heavenly snake."

Having said that, Feng Er waved her jade hand, sending the cyan-green crystal before her to Qing Lin's front.

Immediately after, she extended her soft jade arm again, aligning her palm with the snake corpse below, and a strong suction surged out.

"Whoosh~"

Under that powerful suction, the corpse in the valley, whose age was unknown, slowly floated up and rose into the sky.

As the corpse, several kilometers long and hundreds of meters wide, rose into the sky, the sunlight in the valley below was instantly blocked by the snake corpse.

Thus, the ground below instantly fell into darkness.

When Feng Er saw the snake corpse rise to the same height as herself, she immediately controlled it to stop.

Immediately after, she slightly opened her rosy lips, and a large amount of scorching black flame surged out, rushing straight at the withered snake corpse.

In the blink of an eye, the black flame that could easily burn a Dou Zun expert to ashes poured forth continuously from Feng Er's sandalwood mouth, completely submerging the snake corpse.

At the same time, the nine-headed heavenly snake's body, under the scorching of the black flame, continuously made puffing sounds, shedding large amounts of black dust from its melted flesh and skin, revealing the vessels and muscles inside, resembling dried cured meat.

Seeing this nauseating sight, Feng Er's brows slightly furrowed.

However, she did not stop refining; instead, she immediately increased the temperature of her Beast Fire, hoping to dispose of the snake corpse as quickly as possible.

As for Qing Lin, after Feng Er sent over the magic core, she quickly put it in a box, then obediently ran to a distance, gazing at Feng Er's handling of the snake corpse with eager eyes.
