Chapter 232 Taking the Emperor Dao Pill! Breakthrough!


    "Fortunately, I held on!"


    Watching the powerful Heavenly Tribtion being sessfully blocked by the Earth Demon Puppet, Gu He couldn''t help but smile, feeling relieved.


    Then, Gu He''s gaze shifted to the Earth Demon Puppet, and his expression showed surprise.


    The Earth Demon Puppet in front of him was now covered in dazzling silver light from head to toe.


    However, upon closer inspection, one could see that under this dazzling silver light, there were shes of lightning.


    With a hint of suspicion in his eyes, Gu He approached the Earth Demon Puppet at close range, reached out to touch it, and immediately felt a chilling sensation.


    The silver light shimmering on it appeared extremely pure.


    Gu He remembered very clearly that when he had crafted it initially, there seemed to be some obvious blemishes on the Earth Demon Puppet. He spected that these blemishes were impurities that hadn''t beenpletely purified within the Earth Demon Puppet.


    Now, these obvious blemishes hadpletely disappeared, leaving behind pure silver light.


    "It seems that the powerful thunder force from earlier, while attacking the Earth Demon Puppet, also served as a refinement for it. Unbeknownst to me, itpletely purified the impurities inside the Earth Demon Puppet..."


    Looking at the Earth Demon Puppet in front of him, Gu He recalled some information from the "Celestial Demon Puppet" secret technique.


    The refinement of demon puppets was graded based on color purity, and the purer the color, the stronger the puppet''s power.


    If there were grades within the same level, then the Earth Demon Puppet, when initially crafted, could have been at most a mid-level puppet. But now, after being tempered by the power of thunder, it was gradually advancing towards a higher level.


    "It seems that this Pill Tribtion was a blessing in disguise for me..."


    Thinking this, a brilliant smile appeared on Gu He''s face. He then raised his head slowly, his gaze filled with excitement as he looked at the vast dark clouds appearing in the sky.


    Seeing the shes of lightning within the dark clouds, an idea suddenly popped into Gu He''s mind.


    If the Earth Demon Puppet were to absorb the remaining Thunder Tribtion, would it be even purer and reach a new height in strength?


    As soon as Gu He had this thought, the silver radiance in the sky shimmered once again.


    Seeing this, Gu He didn''t show any worry but instead had a somewhat eager smile on his face. Hemanded, "Earth Demon Puppet, continue to face it for me!"


    Receiving Gu He''smand, the Earth Demon Puppet almost hesitated for a moment. It leaped into the air once again and confronted the silver lightning head-on with a series of powerful punches.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    The sound of thunder explosions in the sky continued, and the silver figure in Gu He''s line of sight became even more dazzling.


    This head-on confrontation, which was purely a test of strength,sted for nearly half an hour. Finally, the power of thunder within the dark clouds in the sky diminished significantly.


    Not long after, the dark clouds gradually stopped churning, and their color began to fade...


    Clearly, this Pill Tribtion hade to an end.


    As the dark clouds faded, the oppressive feeling that had enveloped the entire mountain peakpletely dissipated. When a ray of sunlight poured down from the sky again, the ck Scaled Frigid Python heaved a sigh of relief. Under that divine might, they had felt extremely suppressed.


    As the dark clouds faded, the Earth Demon Puppet descended once again and appeared in front of Gu He.


    ncing at the Earth Demon Puppet, which now appeared almostpletely pure with its shimmering silver light, Gu He''s mouth curled into a satisfied smile. He waved his hand, drawing the puppet back into his storage ring, and then took out a jade bottle. Carefully, he ced the sessfully crafted Emperor Dao Pill into it.


    —


    Back in the valley below, Gu He took out the Emperor Dao Pill, which was the size of a longan fruit, and swallowed it without hesitation.


    As the pill entered his body, Gu He immediately felt a loosening of the long-standing bottleneck in his cultivation.


    Thinking of this, Gu He quickly sat cross-legged, sensing this opportunity.


    Seeing Gu He in this state, the ck Scaled Frigid Python hurriedly ran outside the valley and concealed their auras, fearing they would disturb Gu He.


    Soon, Gu He quietly remained in the valley for ten days.


    During these ten days, Gu He not only observed the changes in his physical strength but also carefully felt the changes in this particr area of the world.


    On the fifteenth day, on a green stone tform within the valley, Gu He closed his eyes tightly. Around him, a purple me danced, burning vigorously. Faintly, it exuded a vibrant feeling of vitality.


    Outside the valley, the bored ck Scaled Frigid Python covered the valley with their spiritual senses as usual.


    At this moment, they suddenly felt as if the entire mountain had just trembled.


    "Is it an illusion?" murmured the ck Scaled Frigid Python.


    The sudden tremor broke the calm around the valley, and some of the magical beasts on the mountain, who had finally settled their fear from the previous Heavenly Tribtion, were now in turmoil due to this unexpected shaking.


    "Bang!"


    As these magical beasts had just begun to calm down, the mountain suddenly shook again. This time, they finally discovered the source of the disturbance, and their gazes turned toward the bottom of the valley.


    "It''s the source of the disturbance over there," murmured a powerful sixth-tier magical beast.


    "Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"


    Here''s the modified English trantion with your requested changes:


    "The shockwave is extremely powerful, and its range of propagation is also very far. Many strong individuals in the nearby mountains quickly emerged and floated in mid-air, their gazes filled with suspicion as they looked at the valley below. In the sky above the valley''s entrance, a terrifying energy vortex resembling a ck hole is violently siphoning the energy from the heavens and earth. Faintly, they seem to sense an extremely terrifying aura about to awaken.


    "Hiss!"


    The body of the ck Scaled Frigid Python quickly appears in mid-air, its eyes fixed on themotion in the valley. Especially after sensing that terrifying aura, a hint of undisguised excitement shes in its eyes.


    "This aura... it''s created by the master again!"


    "I wonder what the master is causing such amotion for this time?"


    After a quick nce, the ck Scaled Frigid Python knows that its current task is to stop anything that might disturb its master.


    Just as the ck Scaled Frigid Python is leaving the valley, the purple mes pervading the valley suddenly surge out like a volcanic eruption from the valley''s mouth. Then, the mes gather in the sky above, forming a massive crimson Vermilion Bird that spans hundreds of meters. The enormous body of the Vermilion Birdpletely covers the valley, and its dense aura makes many people feel weak in the knees.


    "Squawk!"


    With mes radiating, many people instinctively close their eyes, and after a moment, they finally open their eyes again. They then see a slender figure gradually appearing in the heart of the massive Vermilion Bird. The vast aura emanates from this person''s body.


    "The master is breaking through to the Dou Venerate!"


    Feeling the overwhelming power of this aura, the ck Scaled Frigid Python bes dumbfounded in an instant. After a moment, it takes a deep breath and murmurs with a trembling voice.


    It continues for about ten minutes before the Vermilion Bird''s illusion in the sky gradually dissipates. As the Vermilion Bird fades away, the terrifying pressure rapidly weakens.


    The figure in the sky also bes clearer and finally appearspletely in the eyes of the surrounding Demon Beast and human experts.


    In the sky, the slender figure stretcheszily, and the skin on its body begins to wriggle as ifplex machinery has been activated within its bones, producing crisp sounds of bones rubbing against each other.


    "Exhale!"


    Feeling the immense sense of relief spreading within its body, a breath tinged with heat is exhaled from the person''s mouth.


    "So, this is the power of a Dou Venerate expert..."


    Gently clenching his hand, the person feels the vast Dou Qi inside him and can''t help but be fascinated. This power possesses an irresistibly tempting allure, driving countless people to spend their entire lives pursuing it.


    Reaching out his palm, the ancient river suddenly twists the space directly in front of him. If this grip were applied to a human body, even a Dou Venerate expert would probably have their body shattered into a pool of blood on the spot.


    Feeling the vast power that can distort space with a casual gesture, a smile gradually appears on the ancient river''s face. Achieving this level at his age would surely make many envious.


    ...


    At the same time, in the Demon Beast Mountain Range.


    In a dense forest teeming with second and third-tier Demon Beasts, a woman swiftly moves through.


    The woman holds a longsword, and her light blue dress clings to her curvaceous body, emphasizing her voluptuous figure. Her three thousand green strands of hair are casually tied with a green silk ribbon, cascading down to her shapely buttocks.


    After spending a long time in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, Nn Yanran has lost some of her youthful innocence. Instead, her eyes now reveal a more mature and icy beauty.


    At this moment, in the sky not far away, a flying Demon Beast covered in green feathers rapidly ps its wings, diving towards Nn Yanran at lightning speed. Its sharp and menacing presence is undeniable.


    "Being targeted by a flying Demon Beast again, this time it''s a second-tier flying Demon Beast, the Crimson Feathered Hawk!" Nn Yanran mutters. Then, she flips her right hand, and her sword de emits a faint blue glow.


    Her body remains still as she calmly watches the Crimson Feathered Hawk swooping down.


    Screech!


    With a sharp cry, the Crimson Feathered Hawk''s crimson talons, as if forged from steel, cut through the air like an iron torrent.


    At this critical moment, Nn Yanran raises her right foot half a step and starts to move gracefully. She expertly aims her sword at the vital point and strikes decisively.


    ng!


    The collision of gold and iron resounds as the massive body of the Crimson Feathered Hawk flips over and is sent flying dozens of meters away.


    Blood drips from the de of her sword, falling heavily onto the ground. Nn Yanran''s emotions remain unaffected; killing a Demon Beast at her level is as routine as eating and drinking, with no psychological pressure.


    During this time, she has spent her days in battle and expended a considerable amount of energy. However, she can feel her rapid progress. While her cultivation has only increased by one starpared to before, herbat awareness, as well as her use of martial skills and inner energy, have improved significantly.


    "Teacher, your intentions are clear to your disciple!" Nn Yanran mutters to herself, shaking the blood off her sword with a slight flick.


    Swoosh!


    In the next moment, Nn Yanran lightly steps on the dried leaves on the ground, and her entire figure vanishes like a fleeting shadow. She quickly flies towards her next target, which lies ahead.


    After these days of battle, Nn Yanran can estimate the strength of the Demon Beast even from a considerable distance. It is roughly at the low third-tier level.


    Among beings of the same level, Demon Beasts tend to be slightly stronger than humans due to their powerful bodies. So, at this moment, Nn Yanran is filled with anticipation.


    In the dense jungle, among swaying branches, a very small Demon Beast is crawling on the ground. Its blood-red eyes scan the surroundings vigntly, and its sharp fangs gnaw on the severed limb of an unknown Demon Beast, making a crisp sound.


    As this small Demon Beast enjoys its dinner, a colossal and agile figure moves through the treetops above, moving effortlessly as it approaches. With its massive body, it crashes through several thick vines, causing them to snap with a series of cracks. This agile figure plummets from the treetops to the ground, opening its sharp jaws and swallowing the small Demon Beast whole, without even chewing.


    Stter!


    Blood sshes as the massive figure, like a giant rock, crashes onto the ground, causing cracks to spread.


    At this moment, Nn Yanran appears silently on the treetops and witnesses this scene. She can''t help but sigh, "Thew of the jungle is evident here, survival of the fittest."


    Crouching down, Nn Yanran carefully observes the giant Demon Beast.


    It''s an ape-like monster, more robust than other apes she has encountered. It stands at a height of over three meters, and the faint crimson streaks on its body indicate its formidable strength.


    In the


    twilight sunset, this giant ape stands there, resembling a towering mountain, giving off an oppressive feeling.


    Even from a distance of dozens of meters, Nn Yanran can sense the strong smell of blood emanating from the giant ape.


    "So powerful!"


    Nn Yanran sighs. During this time, she has killed many Demon Beasts of the same rank, but she feels that this giant ape is even more formidable than the others she has encountered.


    "Do I fight or not?"


    At this moment, Nn Yanran hesitates. Just as she contemtes her decision, she suddenly feels a cold gaze locking onto her.


    She looks up and meets the eerie, blood-red pupils of the giant ape.


    With a helpless shake of her head, Nn Yanran thinks, "This giant ape''s perception is surprisingly sensitive."


    "Now, I can only face it head-on," Nn Yanran rises and sighs.
