Douluo Continent: Tang San has already taken off, and I'm only just arriving.

Chapter 6 The Illusion of Yama
Chen Yichuan hesitated.

Thunder Canyon is not only dangerous, but it is also controlled by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. If they enter it as members of the Spirit Hall and are killed, they have no recourse.

Most importantly, although my grandfather was a Soul Douluo, his actual combat strength was only equivalent to a Soul Saint.

If my stubbornness causes anything to happen to my grandfather, then it would be a great loss.

"My dear grandson, don't worry, with your grandpa here, I'll definitely protect your safety."

"We've been searching for so many days already, one last place won't make a difference."

Salas noticed Chen Yichuan's hesitation. He knew it was dangerous, but for his grandson's sake, he had to go no matter what.

Ultimately, the grandson's martial soul is a mutated form with inherent flaws. Only by absorbing a soul beast of the same origin can it become more perfect.

"Sister Weiwei, you should go back and stabilize your cultivation first. Grandpa and I will go next."

In the end, Chen Yichuan decided to take the plunge.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has only one Title Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen.

He needs to stay and oversee the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan; he won't leave easily.

The other Soul Douluos wouldn't dare to easily kill a Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall.

Moreover, he knew very well that Yu Luomian, the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, had secretly defected to the Spirit Hall.

It's worth taking the risk.

"it is good!"

Vivian agreed readily.

Her parents were from the Legion of Angels, and they taught her from a young age how to deal with crises.

If you encounter any trouble with your own abilities, it will only be a burden, so don't try to be strong.

After Vivian left, Salas took Chen Yichuan to Thunder Canyon.

For a Contra player, bypassing the guards around the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's perimeter is quite easy.

Soon, they entered the depths of Thunder Canyon.

As they went deeper, the lightning element in the world became more concentrated, and their soul power became much more violent.

Chen Yichuan could also feel his martial spirit trembling with excitement.

There was an unseen force drawing me forward.

Fortunately, Salis's mental strength was quite good, allowing him to easily avoid powerful soul beasts.

"If we go any further, we will reach an area that even the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan has not explored."

Looking at the increasingly dense primeval forest, a heavy sense of oppression washed over him, and Salas's expression also became solemn.

Having arrived here, he couldn't guarantee he'd escape unscathed, especially with his grandson in tow.

"My martial spirit can sense that it's not far off."

Chen Yichuan felt the intense heat within his martial spirit, and he tried his best to stabilize his mind.

Now that we've come this far, we have to find out the truth no matter what.

"Closer to Grandpa."

Salas gritted his teeth and led Chen Yichuan deeper into the area.

When they arrived deep in Thunder Canyon and saw the spectacular sight, Salas was completely stunned.

In the distance, there was a scorched earth, and in the dense primeval forest, a clearing suddenly appeared.

In this open space, every few dozen miles there is a vine that flashes with lightning.

These vines would occasionally draw a bolt of lightning upon themselves, allowing it to relentlessly destroy them.

"Is this the Thunderous Hell Vine?"

Salas sighed deeply.

If his grandson hadn't awakened this martial spirit, he wouldn't have known that such a soul beast existed in the world until he went to the Spirit Hall headquarters to check the information.

"My dear grandson, look at that Thunderous Hell Vine, it's nearly ten meters long and has been around for almost a thousand years. Are you really confident you can absorb it?"

After looking around and confirming that there was only one Thunderous Prison Vine in the vicinity suitable for Chen Yichuan to absorb, Sarasai once again tried to dissuade him.

Even a Great Soul Master wouldn't dare absorb a soul beast that's nearly a thousand years old.

"Grandpa, believe me, it's possible."

"However, near that Thunderous Hell Vine, there is another one that is about six thousand years old, which is impossible to hunt and absorb soul rings from."

Chen Yichuan was satisfied after identifying the target soul beast. However, hunting down that soul beast and absorbing it would be extremely difficult.

He wanted to keep the 6,000-year-old Thunderous Hell Vine to prepare for his third soul ring.

After all, these soul beasts are extremely rare; killing one means losing one less.

Chen Yichuan then told Salas what he was thinking.

"It's alright, let me show you Grandpa's sixth soul skill."

After listening to Chen Yichuan's request, Salas laughed heartily, and then, with a thought, he unleashed his sixth soul skill.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Divine Protection!"

An invisible barrier protected the two of them.

"Grandpa obtained his sixth soul skill by killing a mutated scaled beast. It can not only provide him with a protective barrier, but also protect others."

Salas led Chen Yichuan to their target location.

Although the Thunderous Hell Vine, which is over nine hundred years old, is powerful, it is still powerless against a Soul Douluo.

Salas severely injured him, but Chen Yichuan killed him.

He then began absorbing soul rings under Salas's protection.

The martial spirit guides the spirit ring, allowing powerful energy to enter the body.

Chen Yichuan cleared his mind, not deliberately considering what kind of soul skill the Thunderous Hell Vine would bring him.

On the one hand, he didn't know much about the Thunderous Hell Vine, only a general idea, and had no idea what kind of soul skills it possessed.

On the other hand, it can also be seen as a small experiment he conducted on himself.

What would happen if you completely empty your mind and let your martial souls of the same origin fuse?
In an instant, Chen Yichuan felt like he was suffocating, as a violent power erupted within him, raging wildly.

He tried his best to stabilize his mind and prevent himself from losing consciousness. He used his martial spirit to suppress the violent soul power and to guide and absorb it.

Throughout this process, Salas, though filled with worry, did not offer any assistance.

The process of absorbing a spirit ring is inherently dangerous and cannot be easily interfered with by any external spirit power.

Fortunately, this soul power was still within Chen Yichuan's control. Although he would inevitably suffer pain, as long as he could control and guide it, he would gradually be able to absorb it successfully.

It took Chen Yichuan more than ten hours to successfully absorb the soul ring.

"Grandpa, stay away from me!"

Having just successfully absorbed the spirit ring, Chen Yichuan hadn't even checked the spirit skills before hurriedly telling Salas to stay away from him.

"Eighth Soul Skill, Holy Light Healing!"

Without any hesitation, Salas hurriedly used his eighth soul skill, and the powerful healing power quickly restored Chen Yichuan's body.

After doing all this, he finally left Chen Yichuan's side.

Although he has left, his sixth soul skill, Divine Protection, remains on Chen Yichuan's body.

Meanwhile, thunderclouds gathered in the sky.

The drawback of his martial spirit has arrived.

After the first spirit ring is attached, one will be struck by lightning.

Even a spirit beast like the Thunderous Hell Vine is envied by the heavens, let alone a person who possesses such a spirit.
"First Soul Skill, Hellfire Illusionary Body!"

Without hesitation, Chen Yichuan unleashed his first soul skill, facing the impending heavenly lightning head-on.

He named his first soul skill "Yan Yu Illusion," which could create two thunderous illusions with 30% of his power to fight together.

He was very satisfied with this soul skill.

Although plant-type martial souls can be classified as a separate category, they share many similarities with weapon-type martial souls in essence.

Therefore, percentage increases in all attributes are not suitable for plant-type martial souls, unless it is a special single-attribute increase.

However, this soul skill doesn't seem to have much effect on the current situation.

Just as Chen Yichuan was on high alert, the other Thunderous Hell Vines in this Thunder Canyon began to stir.

Because of his martial spirit, Chen Yichuan could sense that the Thunderous Hell Vines were excited.

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, lightning descended from the sky, heading straight for Chen Yichuan.

But in mid-air, it suddenly changed direction and headed towards the oldest Thunderous Hell Vine in the area.
