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

Chapter 62 The Elf Born from the Tribulation of Lightning
“Every year, countless Soul Masters go to the Star Dou Forest to hunt Souls, and many die in the process.”

"Whether it's powerful soul beasts or being hunted by other soul masters, some soul masters die in harsh environments."

"Among them, some died mysteriously; some were turned to dust out of thin air, while others turned into bloody mud on the spot."

"The reason they ended up like this is simply because they encountered a special kind of soul beast."

"Calling them soul beasts is not appropriate; they are spirits born from the tribulation of lightning."

"Like soul power, it floats between heaven and earth, and occasionally some special beings are born with intelligence."

"The Spirit Hall's secret manual records this kind of spirit beast, calling them Thunder Spirits."

"Its characteristics are that it possesses powerful explosive force, yet it is as light as a feather. It can drift to your side without you even noticing, enter your body, and cause an explosion with the slightest strenuous exercise."

"We just entered Lei Ling's range."

Chen Yichuan slowly revealed the origin of this soul beast.

In some ways, it is very similar to the Snow Emperor in the far north.

They were all born from the power of heaven and earth.

The Snow Emperor was formed from the condensation of ice and fortune from the far north, while the so-called Thunder Spirit was born in the place where a 100,000-year-old soul beast perished during its tribulation.

Because of the suppression of the laws of heaven and earth, they were transformed from so-called elemental spirits into soul beasts.

The difference is that there is only one Snow Empress, while theoretically, one can have countless Thunder Spirits at the same time.

If a 100,000-year-old soul beast fails its tribulation, it is very likely that it will be born under certain circumstances.

But this is only in theory.

Because when a Thunder Spirit is first born, it will explode if it comes into contact with even the slightest fluctuation of soul power, and it simply does not have time to develop intelligence.

Therefore, it was difficult to find, and Chen Yichuan did not have high hopes for it.

It was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Upon hearing this, everyone was dazed and felt a lingering fear.

They never imagined that they had just been on the brink of life and death.

"The problem is, how do we hunt these soul beasts!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo posed the biggest challenge.

He had just used his mental power to examine it; this Thunder Soul Beast was very special, resembling both a complete Soul Beast and countless Soul Beasts.

Together, they have been around for nearly 60,000 years.

With Chen Yichuan's current resources, he can still absorb it if he takes a chance.

However, Lei Ling is too special; as long as it comes into contact with any force that can harm it, it will explode.

If it wasn't hunted by someone else, then it's impossible to absorb a spirit ring.

Chen Yichuan hadn't thought about this problem either.

After all, he didn't think he would encounter such a soul beast, and he didn't include it on his hunting list.

"I want to give it a try!"

After much deliberation, Chen Yichuan was still unwilling to give up.

To be able to meet you is an incredible stroke of luck; how could I possibly stop here?

As for how to obtain its spirit ring, Chen Yichuan did come up with a solution.

That is to try to make it a sacrifice.

"I'm with you!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo figured it out, and Chen Yichuan was determined to give it a try.

As teachers, we naturally need to help protect and guide them.

You must understand that if this 50,000-year-old thunder spirit were to explode, the power it contained would severely injure even him.

Chen Yichuan did not refuse.

He was also aware of the danger involved.

The reason I'm so persistent is simply because I want to give it a try.

If that doesn't work, we'll think of other ways.

Afterwards, Chen Yichuan and Golden Crocodile Douluo went to the area where they had been before.

This time, he was exceptionally cautious and exerted his mental energy to the maximum extent possible before he was able to discover some clues.

Between heaven and earth, there floated clusters of light that looked like dandelions. If any extreme actions were taken against them, these clusters of light would explode.

These orbs of light are all the true forms of Lei Ling; when they are gathered together, they form a soul beast that is over 50,000 years old.

"In the end, it is just a product of lightning tribulation and the remnant soul of a soul beast. Under the Thunderous Hell Vine, all lightning-attribute power must be restrained."

As Chen Yichuan spoke softly, he summoned the Thunderous Hell Vine and slowly released his domain.

Try to communicate with that thunder spirit.

As time passed, his spiritual power spread out completely, and Chen Yichuan clearly sensed that countless spiritual forces were trying to communicate with him.

He accepted all of this spiritual power.

He quickly gained a deeper understanding of this so-called Thunder Spirit.

Although they have been together for 58,000 years, their intelligence is very low.

The reason for this is that each of them has their own unique consciousness.

"The Creator is truly amazing!"

Chen Yichuan couldn't help but sigh, it was truly remarkable that such extraordinary creatures could survive in the world.

Because of his Thunderous Hell Vine martial soul and his ultimate attributes, he quickly became the leader of these thunder spirits.

The problem is, he doesn't want to be the boss; he wants spirit rings!
Since sacrifice didn't work, he thought of Tang San's fifth spirit ring in the original novel, the self-condensed spirit ring.

Then there is no more then.

He doesn't know how at all!
Chen Yichuan felt that he couldn't have come all this way for nothing.

Since these thunder spirits have recognized him as their elder brother, he should find a way to get them away from here.

If I want to deal with someone in the future, I can just quietly release a little thunder spirit and kill that person by trickery.

It's nothing more than consuming one of your minions each time.

Chen Yichuan then prepared to withdraw his martial soul and planned to guide these lightning spirits into a storage soul tool that could store living beings.

"Xiao Chuan, do you really want this spirit ring?"

Just then, Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke.

While Chen Yichuan was communicating with Lei Ling, he was also thinking of a solution. And sure enough, there really was one.

Using spiritual power and soul power as a guide, they were forcibly merged, and then Chen Yichuan killed them at the moment of suppression.

While the opportunity is fleeting, both of them face immense risks.

"Teacher, can you do it?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yichuan was overjoyed.

He had personally experienced Lei Ling's strangeness, and there was a high probability that he would obtain a very powerful soul skill from him.

How could I not be tempted?
As for recognizing him as an elder brother, well, he's human and can't empathize with soul beasts.

Moreover, it is a soul beast whose intelligence has not been fully developed.

Then Golden Crocodile Douluo explained his method to Chen Yichuan.

After hearing the plan, Chen Yichuan fell silent.

This method does indeed have a chance of succeeding.

The problem is, the risks involved are too great.

If they are not careful, the two of them will be at the center of the Thunder Spirit's explosion.

"Don't worry, with your teacher protecting you, a mere ten-thousand-year-old soul beast will be a piece of cake."

Golden Crocodile Douluo sealed the deal with a single blow.

Chen Yichuan also decided to do it.

However, the plan needs to be slightly modified.

He was responsible for gathering all the Thunder Spirits together, Golden Crocodile Douluo was responsible for forcibly merging them, and as for suppressing them, that was naturally Yue Guan and Ghostly Demon.

He hadn't forgotten the fusion skill of the two's martial souls.

Now that they have all broken through to level 96, they can easily suppress level 97 Title Douluos by using their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Moreover, they all possessed soul cores, and even a level 98 Title Douluo could be suppressed for a few seconds.

After listening to Chen Yichuan's arrangements, Golden Crocodile Douluo, who originally thought that only 50% of the plan was enough to achieve 80%, realized that the plan was now complete.

Soon, three titled Douluo stood ready for battle.

Using his martial spirit as a guide, Chen Yichuan led a large group of thunder spirits to the location of Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"This is the time!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo let out a low shout, then unleashed his Martial Soul True Body, manipulating powerful soul force to crush these thunder spirits with his mental strength.

They were forcibly merged together using external force.

This process is crucial. If too much force is used, it will cause the Thunder Spirits to self-destruct; if too little force is used, it will not frighten them enough to make them merge together.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance and immediately unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

"The Realm of Yin and Yang Stillness!"

In an instant, the world was sealed off, and all living beings in the surrounding area were imprisoned.

Even the Golden Crocodile Douluo was among them.

Fortunately, Yue Guan and Gui Mei now have far greater control over the Yin-Yang Static Domain than before, and can significantly alter the objects they control.

After breaking free of his restraints, Golden Crocodile Douluo swept his massive crocodile tail directly into the void around Chen Yichuan, shattering the confinement.

"You only have three breaths; you must seize the opportunity."

Golden Crocodile Douluo solemnly instructed Chen Yichuan.

If anything goes wrong, this Thunder Spirit will explode.

Apart from him, both Yue Guan and Gui Mei must have suffered considerable injuries.

As for Chen Yichuan, being at the epicenter of the explosion, he might be blown to smithereens.

"Third Soul Skill, Thunder Explosion Technique!"

Chen Yichuan calmed his mind, activated the Flame God Eye, and amplified his spiritual power infinitely, just waiting for that one moment of opportunity.

With everything ready, Yue Guan and Gui Mei instantly released their control.

The next moment, the lightning spirits that sensed the danger gathered together.

Just as they gathered together, Golden Crocodile Douluo once again channeled his soul power to forcibly suppress them.

"Lightning Explosion Technique!"

Without any hesitation, Chen Yichuan seized the opportunity and detonated it completely.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Two violent explosions rang out one after the other, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.

The first violent explosion was caused by Chen Yichuan's thunderstorm technique.

The second explosion was caused by the convergence of the Thunder Spirits.

Fortunately, with the help of Golden Crocodile Douluo and Moon Pass Ghost, the situation was suppressed from the side, which resulted in Lei Ling being killed by his own hands, rather than by suicide.

Golden Crocodile Douluo flashed to Chen Yichuan's side, using his Martial Soul True Body to withstand the massive explosion and protect Chen Yichuan.

As for Yue Guan and Gui Mei, although they were mentally prepared, they were still blown away by the powerful explosion.

The injuries are serious.

Even Golden Crocodile Douluo suffered considerable injuries.

He was originally expected to break through within six months, but even with Salas's treatment, it would still take more than half a year to complete.

After all, he devoted most of his energy to protecting Chen Yichuan.

"Thank you so much, teacher!"

Chen Yichuan spoke softly, saying that no matter what, he would keep this kindness in his heart.

He had originally wanted to find an opportunity to give the Earth Dragon Golden Melon to Golden Crocodile Douluo, and now that he had returned, it was the perfect time.

After the explosion, Chen Yichuan walked out from behind Golden Crocodile Douluo.

They arrived in front of the dark spirit ring.

"You've gone through so much trouble, don't let me down!"

As Chen Yichuan murmured softly, he sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the soul ring.
