After Lu Huangtian held the last puppet in his palm and absorbed it completely, there was still a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
At the same time, an invisible bloodlust brewed around Lu Huangtian, whose aura continued to rise. His absorption speed was still far faster than Xiao Yan's. Even though Xiao Yan had killed over a hundred puppets in the previous period, the number of puppets that ultimately died at the hands of the two were still roughly the same.
The puppet is not just a puppet; it also possesses the souls of tens of millions of powerful beings within the Beast Space and has absorbed the essence and blood of over a thousand powerful beings present. Although the energy provided by any Dou Huang or Dou Zong powerhouse is insignificant to a Dou Zun, quantitative change can lead to qualitative change.
Lu Huangtian's aura continued to rise, surpassing many of the powerful figures present at an extremely fast speed, breaking through four major restrictions in succession.
"A five-star Dou Zun!" Yao Lao said slowly.
Even during his lifetime, Yao Lao had rarely encountered a powerhouse of this caliber, hence his unusually solemn tone.
Although Xiao Yan also received energy feedback, his initial level was far lower than Lu Huangtian's. Moreover, all the imprisoned souls were released by Xiao Yan, and he only absorbed the feedback energy from the Red Lotus Karmic Flame, which was different from Lu Huangtian's.
Xiao Yan's Dou Qi only reached the level of a three-star Dou Zun.
Once you reach the Dou Zun level, the difference between each star increase is enormous. It's almost impossible to easily defeat enemies of higher levels below the Dou Huang level.
Lu Huangtian brought with him the most terrifying pressure. He raised his hand and looked at his body, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
Looking at Xiao Yan opposite him, his eyes were filled with killing intent. After all, if it weren't for Xiao Yan, he could have absorbed all the puppets present with ease, and he would have definitely reached a higher realm.
The reason he was in no hurry to reveal his trump card or take over the Heavenly Serpent Palace was that he wanted to make the puppet absorb the blood essence of the powerful so that he could absorb it along with the puppet in the end.
However, Xiao Xun'er's defeat of Lu Chen and Xiao Yan's killing of the Dou Zun puppet caused an uncontrollable flaw in his originally perfect plan.
At this moment, Lu Huangtian looked at Xiao Yan coldly and said, "Xiao Yan, you have ruined my plans time and time again, so I will make sure you are buried here today!"
The purplish-black lightning gathered in Lu Huangtian's hand, and the sharp, explosive lightning moved at will in Lu Huangtian's hand like a toy.
As Lu Huangtian moved, the sky suddenly darkened, and purplish-black thunderclouds gathered in this area.
Looking at the thunderclouds in the sky, all the powerful figures, whether they were Dou Huang, Dou Zong, or Dou Zun, felt a tremendous threat.
Upon seeing Lei Yun, Xiao Yan immediately leaped out, clearly not giving everyone much time.
The next moment, thunder shook the heavens!
Terrifying lightning strikes, like giant dragons crashing down, came with a magnificent and noble purplish-black aura, carrying an aura of destruction.
Several Dou Zun were the main targets of the lightning strike. Xiao Yan noticed the terrifying attack and locked onto Xun'er and the others. He immediately came to Xun'er, Zi Yan, and Qing Lin's side.
Although the previous battle was chaotic, the three women's combat strength was among the best even among Dou Zong experts, so apart from being quite exhausted, they suffered no losses. At the same time, Su Zhang also brought Xu Yingwu, whose eyes still looked somewhat confused, which relieved Xiao Yan of a lot of trouble.
The terrifying lightning strike fell with unstoppable force. Xiao Yan's Red Lotus Karmic Flame transformed into a protective barrier. The lightning strike patterns of the Xuanwen Sect were exceptionally sharp and explosive, making the use of the strange fire as a means of defense the best option.
The terrifying power of the lightning strike made even a veteran Dou Zun like Yang Zhishuang change color. When fire and lightning clashed, Xiao Yan actually felt that his Fire Lotus Karmic Fire was being suppressed.
Lu Huangtian clearly did not intend to take down everyone present with such a simple attack. His improvement was indeed terrifying, but he was still dealing with Dou Zun.
"Xiao Yan, you've ruined my plans time and time again, now die!"
Lu Huangtian looked at Xiao Yan, his face contorted with rage, and his furious roar, filled with murderous intent, resounded like thunder across the battlefield!
"Lightning strike pattern, gather lightning!"
What happened just now was merely an attempt; this is Lu Huangtian's all-out killing move.
Lu Huangtian's face was gloomy. The violent lightning in mid-air began to gather and then turned into drops of purplish-black liquid.
Xiao Yan frowned when he saw Lu Huangtian. Lu Zhi also knew the technique of gathering lightning into water, and this was the first time he had caused Xiao Yan to suffer a great loss.
Even Xiao Yan's brows twitched involuntarily at the speed at which the liquid condensed in mid-air; it was simply too fast!
In just a short while, the blackish-purple liquid had already formed a small pool, and a violent aura kept emanating from it, which was still extremely terrifying even from hundreds of feet away.
A cold glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes, and thunderous sounds rang out from his body as the Three Thousand Thunderbolts roared!
Xiao Yan couldn't just sit idly by and watch Lu Huangtian gather his strength; he had to interrupt him. He gripped a heavy ruler in his hand and slashed down without hesitation.
"Flames Divide and Devour the Waves!"
However, Xiao Yan saw a ferocious glint flash in Lu Huangtian's eyes as he was still gathering his strength, and all the lightning-shaped patterns on his body disappeared. In their place appeared yellowish-gray patterns. Lu Huangtian was the number one person in the Xuanwen Sect, and his pattern transformation required no time at all; it was almost as if he could do it at will.
Relying on his hardened skin, Lu Huangtian actually caught Xiao Yan's Flame Devouring Wave Ruler with his large hands. Blood-red flames exploded on his body, but Lu Huangtian seemed not to hear them.
At this moment, the liquid in the thunderclouds swept in with an unstoppable momentum!
As the liquid surged forward, the space it passed through continuously shattered into fragments; no one could imagine how much terrifying energy was contained within this mass of liquid.
As Lu Huangtian grabbed Xiao Yan's black ruler, a dark line crawled onto Lu Huangtian's face.
Xiao Yan felt as if his body was completely immobilized at this moment, unable to move or even perceive anything!
Just as Lu Huangtian was grinning as he watched Xiao Yan prepare to take his attack head-on, a giant snake shadow swallowed the purplish-black liquid whole. Purple-black lightning erupted instantly, and the snake shadow was instantly melted and shattered.
Yang Zhishuang came to Xiao Yan's side, put one hand on Xiao Yan's shoulder, and dragged the restrained Xiao Yan away.
Meanwhile, an arrow shot out from the void, its powerful energy emanating from it, causing the space around it to tremble.
The arrow pierced through Lu Huangtian's flesh and blood, locking him in place and leaving him unable to escape.
