Chapter 232 Taking the Emperor Dao Pill! Breakthrough!

  "Fortunately, I held on!"

  Watg the powerful Heavenly Tribution being successfully 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 iion, one could see that uhis dazzling silver light, there were fshes of lightning.

  With a hint of suspi in his eyes, Gu He approached the Earth Demon Puppet at cle, reached out to touch it, and immediately felt a chilliion.

  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 specuted that these blemishes were impurities that hadn't been pletely purified within the Earth Demon Puppet.

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

  "It seems that the powerful thunder force from earlier, while attag the Earth Demon Puppet, also served as a refi for it. Unbeknownst to me, it pletely purified the impurities ihe Earth Demon Puppet..."

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

  The refi of demon puppets was graded based on color purity, and the purer the color, the strohe 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 advang towards a higher level.

  "It seems that this Pill Tribution 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 fshes 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 Thuribution, would it bee even purer and reach a new height in strength?

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

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

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

  Boom!

  Boom!

  Boom!

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

  This head-on frontation, which urely a test of strength, sted for nearly half an hour. Finally, the power of thunder within the dark clouds in the sky diminished signifitly.

  Not long after, the dark clouds gradually stopped ing, and their can to fade...

  Clearly, this Pill Tribution had e to an end.

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

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

  Gng at the Earth Demon Puppet, whioeared almost pletely pure with its shimmering silver light, Gu He's mouth curled into a satisfied smile. He waved his hand, drawing the puppet bato his ste ring, and then took out a jade bottle. Carefully, he pced the successfully crafted Emperor Dao Pill into it.

  —

  Ba 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 bottlene his cultivation.

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

  Seeing Gu He in this state, the Bck Scaled Frigid Python hurriedly ran outside the valley and cealed 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 ges in his physical strength but also carefully felt the ges in this particur area of the world.

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

  Outside the valley, the bored Bck 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 Bck 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 Tribution, were now in turmoil due to this ued 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 turoward 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 transtion with your requested ges:

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

  "Hiss!"

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

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

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

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

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

  "Squawk!"

  With fmes 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 Vee!"

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

  It tinues 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 bees clearer and finally appears pletely in the eyes of the surrounding Demo and human experts.

  In the sky, the slender figure stretches zily, and the skin on its body begins tle as if plex maery has been activated within its bones, produg 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 Vee expert..."

  Gently g his hand, the persohe vast Dou Qi inside him and 't help but be fasated. This power possesses an irresistibly tempting allure, driving tless people to spend their entire lives pursuing it.

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

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

  ...

  At the same time, in the Demo Mountain Range.

  In a dense forest teeming with sed and third-tier Demos, a woman swiftly moves through.

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

  After spending a long time in the Demo Mountain Range, Nan Yanran has lost some of her youthful innoce. Instead, her eyes now reveal a more mature and icy beauty.

  At this moment, in the sky not far away, a flying Demo covered in greehers rapidly fps its wings, diving towards Nan Yanran at lightning speed. Its sharp and menag presence is undeniable.

  "Being targeted by a flying Demo again, this time it's a sed-tier flying Demo, the Crimsohered Hawk!" Nan Yanran mutters. Then, she flips her right hand, and her sword bde emits a faint blue glow.

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

  Screech!

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

  At this critical moment, Nan 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.

  g!

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

  Blood drips from the bde of her sword, falling heavily onto the ground. Nan Yanraions remain ued; killing a Demo 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 siderable amount of energy. However, she feel her rapid progress. While her cultivation has only increased by oar pared to before, her bat awareness, as well as her use of martial skills and inner energy, have improved signifitly.

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

  Swoosh!

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

  After these days of battle, Nan Yanran estimate the strength of the Demo even from a siderable dista is roughly at the low third-tier level.

  Among beings of the same level, Demos tend to be slightly strohan humans due to their powerful bodies. So, at this moment, Nan Yanran is filled with anticipation.

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

  As this small Demo 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 Demo whole, without even chewing.

  Sptter!

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

  At this moment, Nan Yanran appears silently oreetops and withis se. She 't help but sigh, "The w of the jungle is evident here, survival of the fittest."

  Croug down, Nan Yanran carefully observes the giant Demo.

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

  In the

  twilight suhis giant ape stands there, resembling a t mountain, giving off an oppressive feeling.

  Even from a distance of dozens of meters, Nan Yanran sehe strong smell of blood emanating from the giant ape.

  "So powerful!"

  Nan Yanran sighs. During this time, she has killed many Demos of the same rank, but she feels that this giant ape is even more formidable thahers she has entered.

  "Do I fight or not?"

  At this moment, Nan Yanraates. Just as she ptes her decision, she suddenly feels a cold gaze log onto her.

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

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

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