Douluo Continent: Five Thunders Shake the Drums, I am the Thunder Emperor!

Chapter 142 The Black Thunder Drum and the External Soul Bone: The Heavenly Tribulation Arrives Again!
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"I am a super soul beast about to break through two hundred thousand years of cultivation, and I am also a bloodline of extraordinary beings. How could I die at your hands!"

The Ice Fiend Bear let out a defiant roar, attempting to detonate itself and perish together with the enemy.

Unsettling auras and extremely cold ice-attribute soul power surged violently from its limbs and bones.

see,

Sikong Zhen, transformed into a thunder giant, immediately connected his hands in a trajectory.

"Nine Seals of Thunder Talisman, Seal!"

In an instant, bolts of lightning intertwined in the void, forming chains that rapidly bound the Ice Fiend Bear's limbs and head.

Each lightning talisman flashed with dazzling light, forcefully suppressing the impending eruption of malevolent energy and soul power!
"Roar--!"

The Ice Fiend Bear struggled frantically, but the Thunder Rune Chains tightened even more.

The extreme cold domain gradually collapsed under the suppression of the thunder talisman, and the aura of the Ice Fiend Bear weakened at a visible speed.

Sikong Zhen's eyes turned icy, and he slammed his hands together: "Seal!"

"boom!"

The lightning chains tightened, firmly binding the massive body of the Ice Fiend Bear. Its soul power flowed completely stagnant, and it couldn't even struggle!

"ended."

Sikong Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and the Thunder Giant dissipated, returning to its original form.

Ultimately, he is only a Soul Saint at present, and defeating this Ice Fiend Bear with nearly 200,000 years of cultivation is not easy.

"Master, this Ice Fiend Bear's spirit ring and spirit bone are top-grade! You can keep them and absorb them when you break through!"

Xiao Ming's excited voice echoed in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Sikong Zhen shook his head slightly: "In terms of bloodline and cultivation alone, this Ice Fiend Bear is alright, but it is not a lightning attribute soul beast."

If the Ice Fiend Bear were a lightning-attribute soul beast, Sikong Zhen would find a way to help it break through.

A lightning-attribute soul beast with 200,000 years of cultivation, and a powerful variant with strong bloodline, is barely qualified to be his eighth soul skill.

However, the Ice Fiend Bear does not possess the lightning attribute.

"Let's leave it at that for now. I'll figure out what to do with it once I get the Black Thunder Drum!"

Sikong Zhen shifted his gaze from the Ice Fiend Bear to the frozen lake. The lake's surface had already shattered in the aftershocks of the battle, revealing the deep waters and the abyss below!
A chill rose from the bottom of the lake, and a faint, gentle rumble of thunder could be felt.

“The Black Thunder Drum is right below.” Sikong Zhen’s eyes brightened, and a layer of crimson lightning shield appeared around him as he leaped into the icy lake.

A bone-chilling cold swept over them instantly, but strangely, the lake water parted automatically to create a channel.

Sikong Zhen discovered that the three thunder drums inside his body—green, red, and white—resonated simultaneously, projecting three-colored lightning onto his chest.

Deep within the lake, a faint blue light grew brighter and brighter.

As he descended, Sikong Zhen saw that it was a thunder drum that was as clear as black jade, with water-like patterns on the surface and deep blue lightning flowing around it from time to time.

"Black Thunder Drum".

Sikong Zhen's eyes flickered slightly.

Unlike the black thunder drum that one might imagine to be filled with malevolent energy, this thunder drum exudes pure water-attribute thunder power.

Even more surprisingly, the Water Thunder Drum floated towards him on its own.

The drum vibrated gently, producing a clear, thunderous sound, as if it were leaping with joy.

"Master, it's calling you!" Xiao Ming exclaimed in delight.

Sikong Zhen stretched out his hand, and the Water Thunder Drum immediately transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into his palm.

In an instant, a cool and gentle thunder power flowed through his body, perfectly merging with the other three thunder drums.

His soul core trembled violently.

The original Five Thunder Origin Soul Core only had red, blue, and white lightning, these three colors were bright, while the black lightning was very weak.

Now, the black lightning has become extremely deep, and its power is no less than the previous three types of divine lightning.

At the same time, a message automatically appeared in his mind: The Water Thunder God Drum controls all the water in the world, can draw the weak water of the Nine Netherworlds, turn thunder into rain, and nourish all things.

Unlike the growth of blue thunder, the explosion of red thunder, and the killing intent of white thunder, water thunder combines strength and gentleness, and is infinitely changeable!
"I see."

Sikong Zhen seemed to understand something. With a thought, the surrounding lake water immediately transformed into thousands of lightning threads, dancing at his fingertips.

This feeling of complete control was even more profound than when I conquered the Crimson Thunder Drum.

"what?"

Sikong exclaimed in shock.

Suddenly, a blue light shone from the abyss at the bottom of the frozen lake, and a dark blue ball of light rose from the mud.

Upon closer inspection, Sikong Zhen realized that it was a soul bone!
"Shaped like a dragon's claw, this is an external soul bone!"

Sikong Zhen reached out and grabbed, and the deep blue ball of light flew into his palm.

The soul bone felt cool to the touch, like jade, with water-like lightning patterns flowing across its surface, and contained a vast fluctuation of soul power within.

"A 60,000-year-old external soul bone!"

Sikong Zhen's gaze narrowed slightly. External soul bones are extremely rare, and external soul bones with an age of up to 60,000 years are even rarer!
Furthermore, this soul bone in front of him seems to be related to the Black Thunder Drum, and its attributes are both water and thunder, which perfectly match his.

"Looks like I'm in luck."

Sikong Zhen's lips curled up as he soared into the sky, breaking through the lake water and returning to the shore of the frozen lake.

The Ice Fiend Bear remained suppressed by the Thunder Talisman Chains, unable to move. Its scarlet beast eyes stared intently at Sikong Zhen, filled with resentment.

But Sikong Zhen ignored it, sitting cross-legged with the deep blue soul bone in his palm.

First, he used Thunderous Eye to confirm his safety, then his soul power surged, and his soul bone transformed into a stream of light, merging into his right hand.

Time passes slowly.

An hour passed during the transfer.

"boom--!"

In an instant, a powerful force of water and thunder erupted, and Sikong Zhen's right hand, along with his entire right arm, was instantly covered with a layer of dark blue scales, and his right hand even transformed into a dragon claw!

Lightning flashed between the scales, and faint water-like patterns could be seen.

"Water Thunder Dragon Scale Claw"

Sikong Zhen's eyes narrowed, then turned into a look of surprise.

This 60,000-year-old external soul bone actually provided him with a very good soul skill—

Thunder Domain: Releases a water-mine domain, within which all water-attribute elements can be transformed into lightning, amplifying the user and weakening enemies.

"Thunder Domain...it's actually a domain-type Soul Skill!"

Lightning flashed in Sikong Zhen's eyes, and with a gentle wave of his right arm, countless fine threads of water-based lightning condensed in the air.

"A 60,000-year-old domain-type soul skill would normally have a 10% increase or decrease, but beside this ice lake rich in water elements, the increase or decrease ratio has reached 15%!"

Don't be fooled by the mere 5% difference; it's a significant percentage!

One increases and one decreases.
The gap is still quite large.

Subsequently, Sikong Zhen sensed a slight disturbance in the Five Thunder Drum Martial Soul.

"With five thunderous drums gathering, a domain spontaneously arises."

The slight fluctuation emanating from the Five Thunder Drum Martial Soul was devoid of any sound or intention, yet Sikong Zhen instantly understood its meaning.

Originally, Sikong Zhen was still puzzled.

The Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul comes with its own domain, but his Five Thunder Drum Martial Soul, which is even stronger than the Seven Kill Sword, doesn't have a natural domain?
Now I understand, the problem was that the thunder drums were incomplete.

"Boom——"

Just then, dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, thunderclouds rolled, and a terrifying pressure enveloped the ice valley.

"Black Lightning Tribulation".

Sikong Zhen looked up, remaining calm as ever.
