Di Jun’s expression shifted between light and dark, the killing intent within him continuously rising. His fists clenched tightly, but then his entire body relaxed, and the murderous aura retreated like a tide.

"Let that boy live a few more days for now." Finally, Di Jun spoke coldly.

After all, behind Huang Xiaolong stood not only the Primordial Emperor Jiang Hong, but also the King of Primordial Chaos!

As long as these two were around, anyone who wanted to harm Huang Xiaolong would have to consider the consequences. Even as the Heavenly Emperor, he had to admit the seriousness of these consequences.

Besides, behind Huang Xiaolong was also a bull!

Thinking of that bull, Di Jun felt a chill in his heart.

"Father, are we just going to watch as Huang Xiaolong takes those two Chaos Thunder Pools?" Emperor Di Jing said with resentment and hatred.

Di Jun shook his head and smiled, "I won’t let him take the Chaos Thunder Pool so easily." As he said this, his laughter was sinister and cold.

"Father has tampered with the Chaos Thunder Pool?" Emperor Di Jing’s eyes lit up as he asked.

Di Jun smiled, "That’s right, at the bottom of the two Chaos Thunder Pools, I used a secret technique to place countless Ancient Thunder Maggots. These Thunder Maggots can blend into the Thunder Pool, making them undetectable. When Huang Xiaolong absorbs this Chaos Thunder Pool into his body, these Ancient Thunder Maggots will enter his body, hehe!"

Ancient Thunder Maggots, an ancient venomous insect, known as one of the six great venomous insects of ancient times.

Furthermore, these Ancient Thunder Maggots would not kill instantly but would torment the victim bit by bit. Like a parasite, they live inside Huang Xiaolong, continuously growing by feeding on the nutrients in Huang Xiaolong’s body, slowly draining all his energy and divine energy.

Once these Thunder Maggots merge into Huang Xiaolong’s divine status and divine soul, then, at that time, no one could save Huang Xiaolong, not even those who surpassed the Great Emperor’s realm.

"Ancient Thunder Maggots!" Emperor Di Jing laughed, "Father is indeed thoughtful! Once these Ancient Thunder Maggots enter Huang Xiaolong’s body, Huang Xiaolong, even as a high-level Emperor, won’t be able to expel them, let alone when he’s merely at the Heavenly Monarch Seventh Stage. But what if Jiang Hong and Old Man Hong Meng discover this later, will this not be a concern?"

Di Jun sneered, "So what if they discover it? What evidence do they have that I put these Ancient Thunder Maggots into the Chaos Thunder Pool? It could also be that the Chaos Thunder Pool naturally produced these Ancient Thunder Maggots. Without evidence, they can’t do anything to me. As the Heavenly Emperor, how could they think of doing whatever they please with me?"

Emperor Di Jing smiled, "Father is right, now I really look forward to what exciting things will happen when Huang Xiaolong absorbs these two Chaos Thunder Pools into his body."

The two laughed heartily.

"Let’s go, for now we’ll heal your injuries, then find the Heavenly Dao Divine Stone to help you break through to the Emperor Realm as soon as possible," said the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun.

...

Above the Heavenly Court Chaos Xuan Light Thunder Pool, Huang Xiaolong sat cross-legged in the sky, and countless Chaos Xuan Light Thunder Water surged into Huang Xiaolong’s brow from every corner of the Thunder Sea.

Behind Huang Xiaolong, three giant shadows of Demon God Bloodlines appeared. The giant shadows of the Three Great Demon God Bloodlines opened their mouths to devour, and infinite Chaos Xuan Light Thunder Water surged into Huang Xiaolong’s body at an astonishing speed, far faster than when Huang Xiaolong had previously subdued the Chaos Xuan Turtle Thunder Pool.

Huang Xiaolong’s body was shrouded entirely in mysterious thunder light.

At the same time, around his body, many Golden Thunder Dragons and Thunder Mystic Turtles circled.

Waves of destructive lightning continuously shot into the sky.

Since the Heavenly Court Thunder Pond was a world unto itself, even with such dramatic changes inside, the outside remained unaffected. Otherwise, this all-encompassing destructive lightning would have alarmed heaven and earth.

As he refined and devoured this Power of Chaos Xuan Guang Thunder, Huang Xiaolong’s strength soared at astonishing speed, quickly reaching the Heavenly Monarch Seventh Stage Early Peak, then breaking through to the Heavenly Monarch Seventh Stage Middle!

Upon reaching the Heavenly Monarch Seventh Stage Middle, Huang Xiaolong’s rate of improvement did not slow down and continued to rise at an incredible speed.

Huang Xiaolong’s spirit had completely merged with the surrounding heavens and earth, as well as the entire Chaos Xuan Light Thunder Pool.

As Huang Xiaolong continued to subdue and devour the Mysterious Light Thunder Power, suddenly, many fine, weak things began to flow toward Huang Xiaolong along with the Mysterious Light Thunder Power.

These fine things, also covered in thunder light, were indistinguishable from the Mysterious Light Thunder Power, incredibly hard to tell apart; they were precisely the Ancient Thunder Maggots.

Soon, these Ancient Thunder Maggots came to outside Huang Xiaolong’s body—ten meters, five meters, three meters, one meter—and eventually, these Ancient Thunder Maggots entered Huang Xiaolong’s body along with the Mysterious Light Thunder Power.

And Huang Xiaolong remained oblivious.

Huang Xiaolong continued to subdue and devour.

A year passed.

The entire Chaos Xuan Light Thunder Pool churned violently, the thunder water roiled and surged, continuously lifting gigantic waves of thunder.

At this point, Huang Xiaolong had already reached the Heavenly Monarch Seventh Stage Middle Peak.

Another eight months passed.

Finally, the entire Chaos Xuan Light Thunder Pool was entirely devoured and subdued by Huang Xiaolong. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The Chaos Xuan Light Thunder Pool, the Chaos Golden Dragon Thunder Pool, and the Chaos Xuan Turtle Thunder Pool hovered in the space between Huang Xiaolong’s eyebrows, their light flickering.

Huang Xiaolong opened his eyes, exhaling a breath, and countless thunder energies spewed out like a volcanic eruption.

Previously, when Huang Xiaolong subjugated the Chaos Xuan Turtle Thunder Pool, it took eight years, but now, subduing this Xuan Light Thunder Pool took only a little over a year.

However, although he successfully subdued the Chaos Xuan Light Thunder Pool, Huang Xiaolong could only smile bitterly, as he barely managed to break through to the Heavenly Monarch Seventh Stage Late Stage, which fell far short of his expectations.

Huang Xiaolong composed himself, then flew into the air above another Chaos Green Wood Thunder Pool.

This Chaos Green Wood Thunder Pool’s thunder power was not as violent as that of the Xuan Light and the other three Thunder Pools but instead exuded a gentle power.

However, Huang Xiaolong was not surprised; according to records, the Green Wood Thunder Pool’s abilities mainly lay in healing. Once he subdued this Green Wood Thunder Pool, no matter how severe Huang Xiaolong’s injuries were, he could recover instantly. This was the terrifying aspect of the Green Wood Thunder Pool, and even if a part of Huang Xiaolong’s Primordial Dragon Divine Body were blasted apart, it could quickly recover and be just as before.

Huang Xiaolong sat cross-legged in the sky above the Green Wood Thunder Pool, began to operate the Primordial Parasitic Technique, and continued to subdue and devour this Green Wood Thunder Pool.

Soon, the Green Wood Thunder Power continuously rolled in and surged into Huang Xiaolong’s body.

Even Huang Xiaolong did not notice that as he subdued and devoured the Green Wood Thunder Pool, those Ancient Thunder Maggots that had entered his body began to infiltrate into all parts of his body along with the Mysterious Light Thunder Power.

These Ancient Thunder Maggots, indistinguishable from the Mysterious Light Thunder Power, flowed gently.

Just as Huang Xiaolong was refining the Green Wood Thunder Pool, in the depths of the Outer Realm Demon Battlefield, suddenly, there was a surge of light, and the rune sealing the entrance to the Demon Realm seemed to be struck by some force and suddenly shattered.

Endless demon armies flooded in through the black hole-like endless tides, quickly overwhelming God Planes one after another in the Outer Realm Demon Battlefield.
