272: The spirits are gathered successfully, Gu Fei’s chance!

Gu Fei silently gazed at the enormous golden lightning Dragon before him, his heart filled with a myriad of emotions.

He understood very well that the stronger a creature was, the more difficult it was for it to develop sentience.

Just like the Bodhi Ancient Tree he had encountered before, even though it once possessed terrifying strength comparable to a Dou Di, it still only had the most basic biological instincts.

In contrast, humans are extremely weak from birth but possess the highest intelligence.

Perhaps this is precisely because humans have a short Cultivation cycle and can achieve significant results in a short period, a feat that other creatures find difficult to match.

Heaven and earth give birth to all things!

How many can truly explain the Opportunities within it?

"Roar!"

As Gu Fei pondered, the golden lightning Dragon suddenly let out a mournful wail, its massive body trembling violently.

Countless golden electric arcs danced across its surface, as if threatening to tear it apart.

Gu Fei's pupils constricted; he immediately realized that the Nine Profound Golden Lightning was suffering a powerful backlash.

The once majestic lightning Dragon was now in immense pain, its enormous Dragon head thrashing back and forth, emitting painful roars.

Just then, the surrounding Black Demon Lightning, contrary to its usual behavior, no longer avoided the Nine Profound Golden Lightning; instead, it surged towards it in successive waves.

Those black bolts of lightning seemed to be summoned, merging into the golden lightning Dragon's body.

A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Fei's eyes; he realized that the Black Demon Lightning was helping its monarch resolve the terrifying backlash.

However, as time passed, even with the help of the Black Demon Lightning, the Nine Profound Golden Lightning's situation remained grim.

He saw that the backlash within the golden lightning Dragon's body grew more intense, with a part of it exploding every moment. Golden blood, like magma, gushed from the wounds, transforming into specks of golden light that dissipated in the Void Realm.

"It seems it still won't succeed!"

Gu Fei sighed softly, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.

All things have spirits, and to reach this stage is a rare Opportunity, perhaps once in a millennium!

Given this situation, how could he not feel regret?

What a pity!

Such a pity!!!

However...

Just then, Gu Fei remembered something, and a bold idea suddenly arose in his mind.

He took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the struggling lightning Dragon.

"Give your power to me, and I will help you gather your spirit!"

Gu Fei declared loudly, his voice filled with determination.

The golden lightning Dragon heard him and turned its head with difficulty.

The next moment, its eyes, as brilliant as stars, gazed at Gu Fei, a trace of hesitation flashing within them.

Gu Fei could feel that the Nine Profound Golden Lightning was now extremely weak, lacking even the strength to launch an attack.

Through the feedback from the System, Gu Fei knew that the lightning Dragon had not rejected his proposal.

He took a deep breath, slowly raised his hands, and his entire body was instantly enveloped in a layer of pink flames.

"Peel!"

Gu Fei let out a low cry, pressing his hands firmly onto the lightning Dragon's massive body.

In an instant, brilliant golden lightning surged out from within the Nine Profound Golden Lightning like a tide. Under Gu Fei's control, the golden lightning transformed into a hundred-zhang-long lightning Dragon, circling and dancing in the Void Realm.

The entire process was exceptionally smooth, thanks to the Nine Profound Golden Lightning not resisting. When nearly ninety percent of its power was extracted, the pain in the golden lightning Dragon's eyes significantly diminished.

Gu Fei was not idle either; he circulated the Purification Lotus Demon Flame within his body, firmly suppressing the lightning Dragon within himself.

Then, he formed a hand seal, and a profound rune condensed at his fingertips.

"Spiritualize!"

With a soft cry from Gu Fei, the rune in his hand instantly imprinted itself on the Nine Profound Golden Lightning's forehead.

At this moment, the Nine Profound Golden Lightning had shrunk to only a dozen zhang in size, and its strength was only at the Half-Saint level.

Under these conditions, the backlash suffered during the spiritualization process was almost negligible.

As time passed, the golden lightning Dragon's eyes gradually became more Smart.

Its gaze roamed around, finally settling on Gu Fei.

In its star-like eyes, a hint of intimacy actually appeared.

Haha!

It's not that I, Gu Fei, had the Opportunity to meet you!

Rather, I am your Opportunity.

Gu Fei smiled at the corner of his mouth.

[Ding, Nine Profound Golden Lightning has developed a dependent emotion, emotional value increased...]

The System's prompt sounded in Gu Fei's mind.

Clearly, the newly sentient Nine Profound Golden Lightning recognized Gu Fei, the first person it saw, as its closest existence.

"Little fellow, all of this is our fate!"

Gu Fei's lips curved upward.

"Haha, Little Friend Gu Fei, your blessings are truly not shallow!"

Just then, an old yet dignified laugh suddenly echoed in the Void Realm.

Gu Fei looked up at the sound.

He saw a white-haired Elder slowly walking out of the Void Realm.

That person was none other than Elder Zhu Shang of the Void Ancient Dragon Clan.

Elder Zhu Shang looked at Gu Fei with piercing eyes, a glimmer of awe flashing within them.

With his terrifying Eight Star Dou Sheng Cultivation, he had sensed the Nine Profound Golden Lightning's spiritualization, which was why he had rushed to this place.

"Elder Zhu Shang!"

Gu Fei bowed politely, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He hadn't expected that the scene of him helping the Nine Profound Golden Lightning spiritualize would be witnessed by this Dragon Clan powerhouse.

At this moment, through the feedback from the emotional System, Gu Fei knew that Elder Zhu Shang bore him no ill will; on the contrary, he greatly admired him.

"Being able to help the Nine Profound Golden Lightning spiritualize, this kind of Opportunity is not something everyone can encounter."

Elder Zhu Shang smiled faintly, his gaze moving between Gu Fei and the golden lightning Dragon.

"To be honest, all of this was a coincidence. If the Nine Profound Golden Lightning hadn't been willing, I wouldn't have been able to achieve this."

Gu Fei's face also broke into a smile upon hearing this.

"Indeed, it is rare for you to possess such humility."

Elder Zhu Shang nodded, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

"However, although this Nine Profound Golden Lightning has already spiritualized, it still needs some time to adapt to its new identity."

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon the golden lightning Dragon.

Gu Fei nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.

He could feel that although the Nine Profound Golden Lightning had developed sentience, its consciousness was still very vague, like a newborn infant.

Just then, the golden lightning Dragon suddenly let out a soft whine, its massive body slowly moving closer to Gu Fei.

Its star-like eyes were filled with attachment, as if seeking protection.

Seeing this, Gu Fei couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke the lightning Dragon's head. The touch was cool but not sharp, instead having a peculiar sense of affinity.

"It seems it has already recognized you as its master."

"This is a tremendous Opportunity!"

Elder Zhu Shang exclaimed as he watched this scene.

Gu Fei's heart also stirred with excitement upon hearing this; the power of the Nine Profound Golden Lightning was beyond doubt, and if he could subdue it, it would undoubtedly become a great asset to him. (End of chapter)
