Chapter 170: The Youngest Ninth-Grade Master of the Current Era!

"Black Demon Lightning... it has been many years since I last saw it..."

"This kid Gu Fei is truly a monster! At such an age, he is actually able to refine a Ninth Grade Medicinal Pill. If those fellows from the Yao Clan found out, I fear they would doubt their own lives..."

"Haha... with such a genius in our clan, we shall continue to prosper for thousands of years more!"

Unsurprisingly, Gu Fei's pill refining this time once again alarmed many Gu Clan Elders.

At this moment, outside Gu Fei's mountain peak, over a dozen Dou Sheng powerhouses were hidden in the void, observing.

Previously, they had thought that Gu Fei might one day be able to ascend to a Ninth-Grade Master.

But they never thought it would be this fast!

Gu Yuan, dressed in plain robes, also raised his head at this moment, looking at the strange black clouds permeating the sky, and muttered: "My Gu Clan truly has worthy successors. If there are two Nine-Star Dou Saint Peaks in the world today, which clan would dare not submit?"

"Could this be the legendary Black Demon Lightning Tribulation? The records say that the appearance of the Black Demon Lightning Tribulation signifies that a Nine-Rank Precious Pill is about to be born..."

Xun Er was among the first of the younger generation of the Gu Clan to arrive here. At this moment, her beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment; she had only ever seen this kind of lightning tribulation in records, never in person.

"Heavens, what exactly is that?"

"Just looking at the thunderclouds makes my mind uneasy. If the lightning tribulation were to descend, I fear I would instantly turn into flying ash!"

"Big Brother Gu Fei is truly worthy of being the number one person of our Gu Clan's younger generation. He can already refine a Nine-Rank Precious Pill now; perhaps, given time, he will be able to ascend to that Mysterious Pill Grandmaster!"

"Mysterious Pill Grandmaster, that is something that hasn't appeared for hundreds of years!"

Soon, the younger generation of the Gu Clan arrived one after another. When they recalled the Black Demon Lightning recorded in the ancient books, each of them felt nothing but worship for Gu Fei in their hearts.

And at this moment, on the top of the mountain, Gu Fei, who was sitting cross-legged beside the Medicine Cauldron, was also looking at the constantly writhing black clouds with a solemn gaze.

From within them, he felt an extremely dense power of destruction.

This power was countless times more formidable than the Nine-Colored or Eight-Colored Pill Lightning...

High up in the sky, the black cloud layer was constantly writhing. The entire world was silent; not a single sound of thunder rang out. However, it was precisely this deathly silence that made people feel terrified.

Accompanied by the constant writhing of the black cloud layer, after about ten minutes, a circular hole slowly cracked open in the center of the clouds. Inside the hole, it remained pitch black, as if it were the most profound black hole.

"This lightning tribulation is so terrifying. Can my husband handle it?"

Feeling the terror of that black hole, Xiao Yixian, who was holding the child on the mountain peak, was somewhat worried.

"Rest assured, Zi Yan is now a Four-Star Dou Sheng; she should be able to deal with this lightning tribulation. Moreover, there are so many Elders in the Gu Clan watching!"

"Husband will not be in any danger!"

"That's true. No matter how strong the lightning tribulation is, there are Zi Yan and the many Gu Clan Elders to step in and block it!"

Listening to Cai'er's words, the tension on Xiao Yixian's face vanished, and a smile appeared.

"Chi!"

A moment later, an unusual sound finally emerged from within the black hole in the sky. Immediately, a black lightning bolt about the thickness of an arm shot out violently from within, and then silently swept toward Gu Fei's Medicine Cauldron below.

"Let's move aside so the aftermath doesn't hurt the child!"

Seeing this scene, Cai'er and Xiao Yixian hurriedly took the child and moved away from the mountain peak.

The Lion King and Qing Lin also felt the pressure and retreated some distance. Only Zi Yan and Venerable Tianhuo remained in place to watch.

"Respected Elders, Gu Fei wishes to personally experience the power of this Black Demon Lightning!"

Gu Fei's figure flashed to the high sky, appearing directly beneath the black lightning.

At the same time, a voice rang out from Gu Fei's mouth.

Hearing these words, those Gu Clan Dou Sheng Elders who had originally intended to help Gu Fei block the lightning tribulation all stopped.

"Emperor Seal Art!"

"Great Luo Heaven Palm!"

"Five Wheels Leaving Fire Array!"

Gu Fei's entire body's Dou Qi poured out, and various Heaven-tier Dou Techniques were unleashed in succession.

In these past two years, although Gu Fei had practiced less, refining medicine was also a cultivation process that consumed a massive amount of Dou Qi. It was in this process that Gu Fei completed the final few turns of the Dou Zun Peak and broke through to the level of the Nine-Turn Dou Zun Peak.

At this moment, the first few Heaven-tier Dou Techniques immediately collapsed upon contact with the black lightning, and the roaring sound in the sky was constant.

Even a Half-Saint would have to go all out to block a single strike of the Black Demon Lightning.

Gu Fei's several attempts at obstruction did not cause the Black Demon Lightning to dissipate; it still charged straight down.

"It seems the kid Gu Fei cannot block that Black Demon Lightning. Why hasn't he dodged yet?"

Seeing this scene, several Gu Clan Elders with Dou Sheng cultivation were worried for Gu Fei.

"Rest assured, with the Clan Leader and the Black Annihilation King here, could they let Gu Fei be harmed?"

Several of the more insightful Gu Clan Elders were not worried at all that Gu Fei would meet with misfortune.

"Break for me!"

Mid-air, facing the approaching Black Demon Lightning, Gu Fei still did not choose to dodge.

Terrifying energy rapidly gathered on his fist, and a piece of crystalline brilliance flashed with a dazzling luster.

Then, amidst the many shocked gazes, Gu Fei threw a punch, fiercely slamming it into that black lightning bolt.

"Boom!"

The two collided, and a terrifying storm of destruction immediately swept out from the center of the man and the lightning. The space in this world exploded with a crackling sound, like shattered glass.

In the crumbling space, the Black Demon Lightning had still not dissipated, and wisps of black lightning arcs raged directly upon Gu Fei's fleshly body.

Emitting a series of crackling sounds.

"Husband!"

Although she knew there were many powerhouses here to guard, seeing this scene, Xiao Yixian and Cai'er still could not help but cry out in alarm.

That was the Black Demon Lightning.

A lightning bolt capable of shattering a Half-Saint powerhouse.

Just like that, it was raging upon a fleshly body.

Just think of how dangerous that must be!

If an ordinary person were to be touched by it, they would be instantly struck into fly ash, dead beyond any hope of recovery.

"I never expected that Gu Fei's physical body would actually be strong to such a degree!"

Staring intently at the figure surrounded by black lightning arcs, several Gu Clan Elders clicked their tongues in wonder, their eyes filled with admiration.

Under their gaze, those black lightning arcs, which were terrifying enough to destroy all life, not only failed to destroy Gu Fei's physical body.

Instead, they were gradually refined by the Exotic Fire on Gu Fei's skin, becoming pure energy that fed back into Gu Fei's flesh and blood.

Even though the power of this Black Demon Lightning had already been significantly weakened by the previous Battle Techniques, this act by Gu Fei was still soul-shaking.

Even a true Dou Saint would not dare to withstand such lightning with their physical body, yet Gu Fei is not even a Half-Saint right now, merely at Dou Zun Peak.
