After confirming the direction using the coordinates, Xiao Jietian tore open space and stepped into the pitch-black void.
The moment he entered, violent tearing forces pulled at him from all directions. Xiao Jietian could clearly sense the intensity of this tearing power. If an ordinary early-stage Dou Zun entered, they would quickly exhaust their Dou Qi and eventually be torn to shreds.
Five-colored lightning emerged on Xiao Jietian's body. The dazzling lightning continuously resisted the surrounding spatial tearing and even subtly suppressed the spatial power around him.
He lightly tapped the void with his toes and shot forward at extreme speed, creating sonic booms even within this silent void.
After flying for approximately two hours, Xiao Jietian saw silver glimmers flickering intermittently in the distance ahead. A remarkably violent energy faintly permeated from afar.
Xiao Jietian was most familiar with this kind of energy. Even the Spirit Thunder within his body emitted joyful calls.
As he drew closer, the silver glimmers rapidly expanded, and the rumbling sound of thunder echoed earth-shatteringly in his ears.
"Have I finally arrived?"
A smile bloomed on Xiao Jietian's face, and his heart couldn't help but hold a trace of anticipation. He wondered how much he would gain from this Void Thunder Pool.
After flying for another minute, Xiao Jietian stopped. A hint of shock appeared on his face. Although he had known what to expect, seeing it in reality was even more breathtaking.
Xiao Jietian curiously surveyed the Void Thunder Pool before him. He had to admit that calling it a "thunder pool" was somewhat of an understatement.
What appeared before him was a colossal lake nearly a thousand zhang in size, composed entirely of dazzling silver lightning and electric light.
Dense, countless bolts of lightning moved back and forth like lake water.
Standing at the edge of the thunder pool, the rumbling thunderous roars continuously emanated from within. A destructive aura permeated the surroundings, causing one's mind to tremble and making anyone standing there feel exceptionally insignificant.
Xiao Jietian hovered at the edge, watching wisps of lightning arcs drifting out from the periphery. He extended his palm, grasped a bolt of lightning, and instantly refined it.
"What wonderful lightning power!!!" Xiao Jietian could no longer suppress the smile on his face. He looked like someone who had just seen a room full of cash.
He no longer hesitated and stepped directly into the lightning pool.
The moment Xiao Jietian entered, several bolts of lightning shot toward him as if they had discovered an outsider.
The silver lightning, carrying destructive energy, fiercely struck his chest!
Upon contact with Xiao Jietian's body, these lightning bolts erupted with a muffled sound before being absorbed into him, transforming into faint, pure energy.
"Such a menacing appearance, yet it's just a paper tiger. It couldn't even break my defense." Xiao Jietian casually crushed a bolt of lightning, completely dismissive of the attacks.
Of course, this lightning was merely a tickle to him. For a Dou Zong or even a peak Dou Zong, however, it would be quite threatening.
The surrounding lightning seemed to sense his mockery. The originally slow-flowing lightning plasma suddenly surged like enraged fierce beasts. Dozens of lightning bolts shot toward Xiao Jietian at once.
Blinding silver light flashed, making it impossible to look directly at. Destructive energy poured madly onto his body, attempting to destroy him and grind him into dust.
However, within the silver light, Xiao Jietian remained completely unmoved. These terrifying energies—enough to instantly kill an ordinary one- or two-star Dou Zun—were like drops of water falling into the ocean.
Amidst the lightning, Xiao Jietian yawned and stretched, his bones crackling. He felt as if he had just received a comfortable massage—utterly relaxed and invigorated.
He casually dispersed the lightning forces, which transformed into energy and were absorbed into his body.
"Time to get to work, time to get to work. My little darlings, your daddy is here." Xiao Jietian grinned mischievously. The lightning on the periphery was too weak and contained too little energy to be useful. He headed deeper into the lightning pool.
At a depth of over two hundred zhang, Xiao Jietian stopped. At this point, the lightning power before him was even denser, as if forming a dazzling world of its own. This place already resembled a true lake formed entirely of lightning.
In this world of dazzling silver, lightning roared madly like giant dragons. The rumbling sound of thunder echoed incessantly through the void.
In this lightning-filled world, there was no sound other than thunder, making the atmosphere feel dull and oppressive.
Xiao Jietian looked at the lightning lake below, then plunged straight in without any defense or protection.
However, the imagined scene of torn flesh and charred skin did not appear. Instead, it was like a fish entering an ordinary lake.
"Ah~ So comfortable!" Xiao Jietian let out a satisfied sigh. At this moment, he looked less like he was in a lightning pool and more like he was soaking in a hot spring.
One must know that the place Xiao Jietian was currently in was equivalent to seven-colored pill lightning. Lightning of this grade, even if…
The Chaos Five Elements Heavenly Thunder Art automatically operated. He didn't need to laboriously guide or refine it. The moment those violent lightning forces touched his body, they became exceptionally docile, lining up obediently and transforming into wisps of pure energy that drilled into his body through his pores.
His meridians and even his cells joyfully absorbed these pure lightning powers, emitting satisfied feedback—like parched land meeting sweet rain, or dry tinder meeting a raging fire.
More lightning power surged into his body, automatically circulating along the cultivation technique's route for one cycle before smoothly flowing into his Qi Sea and the Spirit Thunder.
This time, a large amount of energy entered his Qi Sea, because the Spirit Thunder seemed to look down upon and disdain this lightning energy.
Although the lightning pool looked intimidating, for Xiao Jietian's solid foundation, the energy contained within it was actually quite small. However, its vast quantity could bring about a qualitative change.
After playing around for a while, Xiao Jietian sat cross-legged in the lightning pool and began to take full control. He actively operated the Chaos Five Elements Heavenly Thunder Art and guided the surrounding lightning power into his body.
One, two, ten, a hundred… thousands, tens of thousands…
Bolts of exceptionally vast and violent energy, like tangible bolts of silk, swirled around Xiao Jietian once before madly surging toward his body.
Facing these surging lightning forces, Xiao Jietian's figure remained completely still. His body was like a bottomless pit, allowing the vast energy to pour in madly and transform into pure energy to nourish himself.
