Civilian Soul Masters in Douluo World

Chapter 492 The Tenth Soul Ring
Crimson vines crisscrossed deep within the white landscape, their surface adorned with unique lightning patterns, and faint, translucent purple lightning rays emanated from them.

The purple lightning emitted by the Thunderous Hell Vine played a crucial role in the first evolution of the Iron Force Martial Soul.

"boom!"

Thor's Hammer Martial Soul appeared in front of Tie Li, echoing the Thunderous Hell Vine, with the two sharing the same origin.

This was also the first time Tie Li had experienced the aura of the Thunderous Hell Vine up close. With its extreme lightning attribute, it was a super soul beast born from the bloodline of the Thunder God and was the number one destroyer in the world of plant-type soul beasts.

Even though Tie Li had mastered the ultimate attribute, he could still feel a stinging pain when he got close to it.

When the Thunderous Hell Vine sensed the aura of the Iron Force, its raging lightning power paused, and it felt a unique aura.

It was born from the bloodline of Thor, and this aura felt familiar to it.

Tie Li underwent a special trial, and this so-called aura was born during the trial, without even Tie Li himself realizing it.

However, Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng could easily sense the emergence of this aura.

The content of Thor's Ninth Trial was to absorb the Thunderous Hell Vine as his tenth soul ring.

Don't underestimate it just because it's only a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. It has the bloodline of the Thunder God. Only by absorbing this soul ring can it replenish the Thunder God's power within its body and complete the divine position that the Thunder God lost after his fall.

Tieli is neither a self-created deity nor a legitimate successor to a divine position; he is a replacement and a remedy.

The initial power gained may not be comparable to that of other divine inheritors, but in this broken divine succession, one can become more familiar with the power of the Thunder God, truly take his place, and become a true god, a god born from heaven and earth.

The ninth spirit ring of the Thor's Hammer martial soul shone with a golden light. The Thor is a natural deity born from the Elemental Continent, the pure master of thunder. Ordinary beings cannot replace the Thor's position, but with the gift of the Elemental Continent, Tie Li will be reborn and shed his ordinary body when he absorbs the Thunderous Hell Vine as his tenth spirit ring.

"呲呲!"

After only a brief pause, the Thunderous Hell Vine released endless lightning. It sensed a sense of belonging in Tie Li, but as a soul beast, it instinctively resisted becoming a soul master's soul ring.

The terrifying lightning symbolized its attitude, launching a fierce attack on Tieli.

Thunderous Hell Vine's cultivation level was only ten thousand years, but the offensive it unleashed surpassed that of a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast. However, against Tie Li, a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo, this offensive was still unable to cause any damage to Tie Li.

Thor's hammer returned to Tie Li's hands. The first soul core spun at high speed, and lightning condensed on the hammer. It then slammed down on the endless lightning emitted by the Thunderous Hell Vine.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, countless cracks appeared on the lightning, which shattered in the next second. The Thunderous Hell Vine's attack appeared extremely weak in front of Tie Li. The difference in their cultivation levels was also reflected in the different levels of their internal lightning sources. The Thunder God Hammer, with its ninth soul ring, suppressed the Thunderous Hell Vine in terms of lightning source level.

The purplish-red vines, stimulated, swayed wildly, attempting to unleash even more powerful blood within their bodies.

The situation with the Thunderous Hell Vine was somewhat beyond Tie Li's expectations. The ninth trial required the Thunderous Hell Vine to sacrifice itself so that Tie Li could obtain his tenth soul ring, break through level 100, and possess god-level combat power.

Forcibly killing it would prevent the absorption of this spirit ring; what appeared before Tie Li was merely a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.

Thunderous Hell Vine is ultimately a soul beast; how can we make it willingly sacrifice itself?

Tie Li frowned, momentarily at a loss for how to solve this problem. He had always directly thwarted the Thunderous Hell Vine's attacks without harming its main body. He feared that a single mistake would kill it, thus failing his ninth trial.

Even He hadn't anticipated this. The Thunderous Hell Vine's resistance to sacrifice was its destiny; it was meant to become part of Iron Force, complete the divine position, and allow the Thunder God to reappear in the divine realm.

But its instincts as a soul beast overwhelmed the mission it was entrusted with.

"Whoa!"

Thunder Spirit flew out of Iron Force's body. The first thing it saw was the Thunderous Hell Vine amidst the endless lightning. As a spirit born from a sea of ​​lightning, Thunder Spirit could sense the special nature of the Thunderous Hell Vine. The lightning power within the Thunderous Hell Vine surpassed that of any other kind of lightning.

Even Lei Ling felt a sense of being suppressed. Although both were extreme lightning, the Thunderous Hell Vine, which was born from the bloodline of the Thunder God, had an unparalleled advantage.

At the same time, Lei Ling sensed a familiar source within the Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng.

"Destroy its consciousness?"

Tie Li received a message from Lei Ling: shatter its spiritual sea, strip it of its individual consciousness as a soul beast, and either let it sacrifice itself or let Lei Ling control its body.

This is a good solution for Tieli at present.

"boom"

Another blow shattered the Thunderous Hell Vine's attack. Iron Force unfurled its lightning wings and charged straight at the Thunderous Hell Vine's main body, this time with a target.

Lightning flashed in his eyes. For a demigod-level spiritual power to explore the spiritual sea of ​​the Thunderous Hell Vine was not difficult; it would just take a little more time.

Thunderous Hell Vine sensed extreme danger and tried to break free from the distance between itself and Iron Force, but there was a gap in their strength. Even with the bloodline of the Thunder God, it could not suppress Iron Force.

"呲呲!"

With an increasingly terrifying sense of danger, Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng frantically unleashed lightning, but to no avail.

"found it."

Lightning surged in Tie Li's eyes, and his incomparably powerful spiritual energy shot straight into the spiritual sea of ​​Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng like a pillar of heaven.

Countless cracks appeared in the perception of the Thunderous Hell Vine, and everything that belonged to it was shattering. The moment it completely dissipated meant that everything that belonged to it vanished from the world.

The Thunder Spirit passed through the Thunderous Hell Vine's body, guiding the instincts that followed the incomplete will of the Thunder God.

The sacrificial flames emerged from the Thunderous Hell Vine itself, and it began its sacrifice. The power belonging to the Thunder God's bloodline appeared, drawing upon the extreme lightning within Tie Li's body.

Soul power began to boil, and the surging soul power of the level 99 Limit Douluo was like waves crashing against the ground. The surging momentum triggered all the plant-type soul beasts in the white land to release their own lightning power in response.

One after another, the hundred-year-old plant-type soul beasts began to break through. In less than a quarter of an hour, the hundred-year-old plant-type soul beasts that were originally on the outer edge of the white land all broke through to the thousand-year level.

The plant-type soul beasts that are close to the core area of ​​the White Land, and a few of them that are over five thousand years old, realized that the lightning power released by Tie Li was an opportunity for their own evolution and to break through the limitations of their bloodline.
