BTTH: I married Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate our marriage!

Chapter 308: Eight-Star Dou Saint!



Gu Fei gazed at the Lightning Calamity Pill before him, a pill infused with the immense powers of heaven and earth, and terrifying lightning energy. His eyes sparkled with

anticipation.

He knew that while taking the pill would bring immense benefits, it also carried great risks. Even with his current cultivation at the late stage of Seven-Star Dou Saint, recklessly consuming the pill could cause the violent energy within to instantly overwhelm and destroy him.

Looking around, he found himself in a serene valley surrounded by cliffs and mist, resembling a paradise. This place, far from the chaos of the world, was the perfect location for secluded cultivation.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Sitting cross-legged, he remained calm. From his pouch, he took out a jade bottle containing crystal-clear pills. These were auxiliary medicines he had carefully prepared to assist with the consumption of the Lightning Calamity Pill.

Opening the bottle, a rich medicinal fragrance filled the air, containing pure energy that uplifted his spirit.

Taking a deep breath, he consumed the auxiliary pills, feeling a warm current flow through his body, nourishing every inch of his flesh.

With preparations complete, he wasted no time and swallowed the mysterious pill. Instantly, a torrent of thunderous energy erupted within him, violently surging through every cell in his body.

Boom!

The deafening sound of lightning echoed from his body, causing the entire valley to tremble. His body became like a volcano, with energy surging and golden light radiating from him. The surrounding air distorted from the force, creating a whirlwind that howled through the valley. Trees were uprooted, rocks shattered- an awe-inspiring sight.

Just as the overwhelming energy seemed on the verge of consuming him, a soft glow emerged from his palm.

A small flame spirit, Xiao Ying, appeared from the light. Stretching her arms, she hugged him in a gentle radiance. The purifying power of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame within her began neutralizing the violent energy in his body.

At the same time, she also possessed the devouring power of the Nihility Devouring Flame, which absorbed the excess energy, preventing it from dispersing and causing harm.

With her assistance, he gradually stabilized. The once rampant energy began merging with his flesh, transforming into a continuous source of strength.

Golden runes appeared on his skin, radiating a holy light. Simultaneously, an even more terrifying pressure emanated from him.

After seven days, when the final wisp of Lightning Tribulation energy had been absorbed, the violent winds in the valley ceased. Everything returned to tranquility, and the air was filled with a refreshing fragrance, putting one at ease.

Gu Fei slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as lightning. He leapt into the air, hovering above the ground. A massive and overwhelming aura erupted from him, causing all creatures within a hundred miles to tremble in fear.

Boom!

With a loud explosion, his aura soared, breaking through the peak of Seven-Star and firmly stepping into the realm of Eight-Star Dou Saint!

"I did it!"

"Eight-Star Dou Saint!"

He let out a triumphant roar, his voice echoing through the valley. His face was filled with excitement and joy, as though he had been reborn.

Indeed, achieving a breakthrough from late Seven-Star to early Eight-Star Dou Saint in just seven days was an astonishing feat, unmatched across the continent.

All of this was due to the formidable Lightning Calamity Pill and Xiao Ying's miraculous abilities. (TL/n: and the system..)

As expected, even though this was his second time consuming a ninth-grade Mysterious Pill, the special nature of the Lightning Tribulation Pill allowed its medicinal power to retain eighty percent of its potency.

This eighty percent was enough to push him to a new height.

"Hahaha, what a thrill!"

He laughed heartily and threw a punch. A golden fist of energy shot forward, tearing through the sky and vanishing into the horizon, its terrifying power enough to strike fear into anyone.

This was the power of an Eight-Star Dou Saint, and he now had full control over it.

Gu Fei's breakthrough caused a massive stir throughout the clan. Countless members rushed to witness the aura of their young clan leader.

For a moment, the entire Gu Realm was shaken by the overwhelming pressure he released from his breakthrough.

At that moment...

"Gu Fei, my dear grandson, having you in my life is my greatest blessing," said Gu Lie with a contented smile in a secluded chamber deep within the Gu Clan. (TL/n: Still won't mention your son huh..)

Sensing the terrifying aura he emitted, Gu Lie couldn't contain his excitement. At just over thirty years old, he had already reached the early stages of Eight-Star Dou Saint, matching his own level.

Furthermore, with his displayed capabilities, even surpassing the early stages would be no challenge.

Previously, he had been able to fight Lei Ying, a veteran at the late stage of Eight-Star Dou Saint, to a standstill while still at the mid-stage of Seven-Star Dou Saint.

Now that his cultivation had advanced, Lei Ying might not even be a match for him.

If he advanced further, reaching the Nine-Star Dou Saint realm, the Gu Clan's strength would reach an unprecedented peak in nearly a millennium. At that point, not even the Hun Clan would dare provoke them easily.

"This kid truly gave us a great surprise!"

"In time, our clan will stand above the entire continent," Gu Yuan said calmly as he stood in a grand hall, hands clasped behind his back.

Gu Yuan had long since ended his seclusion. After all, the armies of the six clans had already gathered, ready to march at any moment.

The Gu Clan had also made their preparations, awaiting the final command.

However, Gu Fei still had one matter on his mind.

Before setting out, he approached Gu Lie in private and said softly, "Grandfather, there's

someone you need to guard against."

"Oh? Who?" He furrowed his brow in confusion. With Gu Yuan around, the Gu Realm should

be safe.

"It's Gu Yang," He responded gravely, revealing a name that shocked even Gu Lie.

"Gu Yang? But isn't he a council elder? Could it be...?"

"This matter is no small issue."

Gu Lie's expression changed as he began to piece things together.

"Grandfather, trust me. I may not be able to explain everything now, but you'll understand in

time," he said firmly.

Gu Lie stood still, contemplating for a moment. Given his grandson's calm and steady nature, there was no reason to doubt him.

"Alright, I understand. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, the Gu Clan will remain safe!" He

nodded, agreeing to stay vigilant.

With the threat of war looming, now was not the time to stir up trouble.

After hearing Gu Lie's response, Gu Fei nodded and left.
