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

Chapter 143: Strength greatly increased, soul bone transformed, level 79 Soul Saint!

"Black Lightning Tribulation".

Sikong Zhen looked up and saw a dark bolt of lightning brewing in the pitch-black thunderclouds; the lightning was not violent.

It flows slowly like water, yet contains destructive power.

"Perfect timing! With the power of this black lightning tribulation, I can directly transform my 'Water Lightning Dragon Scale Claws' into a 100,000-year-old external soul bone!"

Sikong Zhen's eyes were as bright as stars.

Black lightning, the divine lightning of water, is extremely suitable for the external soul bone 'Water Lightning Dragon Scale Claw', and should be enough to allow it to complete its transformation.

A 100,000-year-old soul bone and a 60,000-year-old soul bone are worlds apart.
Not only will it grant an additional soul skill, but it will also cause the power of the Thunder Swamp Domain to surge, making it worthwhile for Sikong Zhen to allocate a portion of his Heavenly Tribulation energy.

At the same time, a fighting spirit flashed in his eyes, a fighting spirit aimed at the Heavenly Tribulation!
Sikong Zhen flew into the sky, no longer suppressing his aura, and unleashed his full soul power, with blue, red, white, and black lightning intertwining around his body.

"boom!"

The first bolt of black lightning struck!
The lightning did not strike straight down, but poured down like a waterfall, instantly engulfing Sikong Zhen!
"Nine Seals of Thunder Talisman - Imperial Defense!"

Sikong Zhen formed hand seals, and the thunder talisman transformed into a barrier. However, the black lightning seeped in like water, attempting to invade his body!

"This is the special characteristic of the Black Lightning Heavenly Tribulation—it's all-pervasive!"

Sikong Zhen narrowed his eyes.

The next moment, the Black Thunder Drum and the Crimson Thunder Drum erupted simultaneously. The black water thunder blocked the heavenly tribulation thunder, while the fire thunder shattered it.

"drink!"

Sikong Zhen let out a long roar, and lightning surged around his body. The Five Thunder Drums Martial Soul manifested behind him, with five thunder drums spinning rapidly around him, emitting a deafening roar.

The power of the Black Thunder Heavenly Tribulation was drawn by the Thunder Drum and converged like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea!

"The thunder roars, swallowing the heavens and devouring the earth!"

Sikong Mingde pressed his hands down, and the five thunder drums suddenly enlarged, with mysterious thunder patterns appearing on their surfaces, forming a huge thunder vortex.

The torrent of black lightning was frantically swallowed up by the vortex.

The drum vibrated continuously, as if it were under tremendous pressure, yet it remained incredibly stable, showing no signs of breaking down.

Sikong Zhen's robes fluttered in the wind, and black lightning crackled in his hair.

But his gaze grew even sharper!

The black lightning essence was absorbed by the Five Thunder Drum Martial Soul and transformed into the purest energy, which then flowed into the 'Water Thunder Dragon Scale Claw' soul bone.

"not enough!"

Sikong Zhen suddenly looked up and charged into the depths of the thunderclouds.

The Black Thunder Tribulation seemed to be enraged, and three more pillars of lightning, as thick as buckets, condensed in the clouds and struck down in a crisscross pattern.

Sikong Zhen neither dodged nor evaded. The Water Thunder Dragon Scale Claw on his right arm suddenly emitted a dazzling blue-black light, and the scales opened layer by layer, transforming into a ferocious dragon claw phantom.

"Break it for me!"

The dragon claws collided violently with the lightning pillar, unleashing a deafening roar.

In the raging energy storm, all the original power of the Black Thunder Heavenly Tribulation was absorbed by the Five Thunder Drum Martial Soul and poured into the 'Water Thunder Dragon Scale Claw'.

The patterns on the dragon's claws began to crack inch by inch, but Sikong Zhen showed a look of joy.

The moment the old scales peeled off, the newly grown claw bones gleamed with a crystal-like luster, and a trace of black lightning flowed on each scale.

The transformation of the 100,000-year-old soul bone is now completely complete!

"Raize Domain, activate!"

Sikong Zhen stepped into the void, and an even stronger domain power suddenly unfolded.

Within a radius of a thousand meters, countless black lightning snakes shot up from the ground, actually rivaling the heavenly tribulation lightning, and even gaining the upper hand!
The Five Thunderclap Martial Soul seized the opportunity to devour the remaining Black Thunder Heavenly Tribulation essence. As the last trace of Heavenly Tribulation power was absorbed, the sound of surging rivers suddenly emanated from Sikong Zhen's body, marking another breakthrough.

Originally, his soul power had reached level 78 after absorbing the external soul bone!
Now, his soul power has increased by another level, and he has broken through three levels in a short period of time, reaching level 79!
Sikong Zhen landed slowly, unleashing his aura, causing the ground beneath his feet to crack.

With a gentle clench of its newly formed Water Thunder Dragon scales and claws, five bolts of black lightning shot out, instantly shattering the mountain rocks a hundred meters away into dust!
"Heavenly tribulation is merely a stepping stone for me to ascend to heaven."

Sikong Zhen looked at the gradually dissipating thunderclouds, the lightning still gleaming in his eyes.

This tribulation brought him to another level of strength, not only bringing him to within a step of becoming a Soul Douluo, but also granting him two powerful Soul Skills!

A 100,000-year-old domain-type soul skill—Raize Domain!
The ratio of increase to decrease has been significantly improved, with a maximum increase of 20% for oneself and a decrease of 20% for the enemy.

At the same time, the Thunder Domain also gave birth to the domain skill - Thunder of All Things!
After the Water Thunder Dragon Scale Claw transformed into a 100,000-year-old external soul bone, it also provided Sikong Zhen with a second soul bone skill—the Inextricable Dragon Claw.

now,

Sikong Zhen's eyes were strange.

It's not that the Infinite Dragon Claw is bad, but that it's a bit too strong!
"This Dragon Claw of No Return can ignore spatial distance and instantly attack any enemy within the Thunder Swamp Domain!"

It's important to know that after the Thunder Domain transforms into a 100,000-year soul skill,
The area it covered had expanded to a radius of one kilometer!

In other words, once the Dragon Claw of No Return is unleashed, Sikong Zhen can instantly attack any enemy within a radius of a thousand meters. This is a powerful and deadly move that is almost impossible to dodge!
"very good!"

Even the usually composed Sikong Zhen couldn't help but smile, his grin undisguised.

"With the Thunder Domain, the Boundless Dragon Claw, and the four Thunder Drums that boost my soul power, I'm afraid I can now fight Grandpa Yu!"

Sikong Zhen dared not say he could defeat Yu Yuanzhen, but he was at least capable of putting up a fight.

and,

They won't be defeated anytime soon!

The other level 97 peak Douluo, when facing Yu Yuanzhen alone, would quickly fall into a disadvantageous position.

"Congratulations, Master! Your strength has greatly increased. You are now an absolute powerhouse among the peak level 97 Douluo!" Xiao Ming's voice rang out.

Xiao Ming is a 230,000-year-old Thunderous Hell Vine, possessing immense strength comparable to a level 97 peak Douluo.

but,
It was absolutely certain that even at its strongest in life, it would be no match for Sikong Zhen now!

Upon hearing Xiao Ming's congratulations, Sikong Zhen's spiritual body smiled in the sea of ​​consciousness, suppressing his joy.

Then he asked, "Xiao Ming, what do you think we should do with this Ice Fiend Bear?"

Hearing this,

Xiao Ming replied earnestly, "Master, I previously suggested keeping it as a spirit ring, but you felt it was inappropriate, so there are only two options left."

"Which two?"

Sikong Zhen asked with great interest.

Xiao Ming coughed lightly and said in a pretentious manner, "First, kill it directly and obtain a soul bone that is nearly 200,000 years old."

Sikong Zhen refused without hesitation: "That's not appropriate. Ten-thousand-year soul beasts are extremely rare, and they take a very long time to grow. It's best not to waste a ten-thousand-year soul ring."

"Moreover, absorbing a soul bone with incompatible attributes may not necessarily be a good thing."

Soul bone slots are limited.

It would be a pity if I absorbed a soul bone with incompatible attributes now, but later encountered one with suitable attributes and a high age.

Xiao Ming laughed and said, "As expected, Master won't choose the first option, so the second option is the only one left."

"tell me the story."

"Try to subdue it; if you fail, imprison it!" Xiao Ming only said these eight words.
