Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 260 The Blessing of the Thunder Demigod

Seeing that there was a chance, Long Gong Meng Shu immediately smiled and continued, "I don't know either. It's a ruin in the jungle in the southeastern part of the empire. I just discovered it myself."

"Has Senior Dragon Lord not yet explored what's inside?" Ning Feiliu asked with a smile.

"We only slightly explored the outer mechanisms, and then we discovered this." Long Gong Meng Shu took out a piece of jade from his soul tool.

The jade scroll did not have any mysterious patterns on it, but rather messy, broken lines, as if... it had been struck by lightning.

"This is..." Ning Feiliu had just touched the jade scroll handed over by Long Gong Meng Shu when another line of small characters appeared before her eyes—

Explore the ruins of Thor's fall, find the Thunderous Hell Vine, and receive the blessing of the Thunder Demigod and the Overgrowth of Runes.

Another mission?

Moreover, this is... the remains of Thor's fall and the Thunderous Hell Vine?

The mission description is accurate, so the ruins are likely the relics left behind after the fall of Thor, and there lives the powerful soul beast Thunder Hell Vine with Thor's bloodline!

Ning Feiliu might not believe that other gods could fall, but Thor is indeed a god who has been clearly recorded as having fallen in the original series, and he was even a first-level god.

Long before the Douluo God Realm disappeared, there was a first-level god in the God Realm: the Thunder God.

Thor perished in a war between gods and landed on the Douluo Continent.

The plant Thunderous Hell Vine appeared only after that.

Therefore, there is a saying in the plant spirit beast world that the Thunderous Hell Vine is a plant with the bloodline of the Thunder God and is the true number one destroyer in the plant world.

The reason it cannot cultivate to the level of 100,000 years is that after cultivating to the level of 100,000 years, it may truly revive the bloodline of the Thunder God, and even be free from the threat of divine punishment, and be able to continue to grow.

The plane would not allow such a situation to occur, which is why it has been suppressing the Thunderous Hell Vine, preventing such creatures from living for more than 50,000 years.

In the original work, there is the Thunderous Hell Vine, which was originally the soul of Zhang Geyang, the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda. It had been cultivating for 40,000 years, but Zhang Geyang had been suppressing its cultivation. During the Five Gods' Battle, it was helped by Tang Wulin to leave Zhang Geyang.

Later, by absorbing the lightning power attracted by Tang Wulin, he broke through 100,000 years of cultivation and became his soul spirit, granting Tang Wulin a purple-gold soul ring and two soul skills, corresponding to the ninth soul ring.

After Tang Wulin defeated the Demon Orca King in the sixth of the Nine Trials of the Sea God, he was rewarded with a share of its lifespan, evolving into an orange-gold 200,000-year-old soul spirit with the power of lightning tribulation.

This must be the source of Zhang Geyang's Thunderous Hell Vine soul from 20,000 years later.

However, this was 20,000 years ago, so the Thunderous Hell Vine should only be around 20,000 years old now...

Before this sixth spirit ring, Ning Feiliu would have gone to absorb the Thunderous Hell Vine as a spirit ring without thinking about anything else.

But now...

He hesitated.

"Forget it, let's finish the mission first. After all, it's not like absorbing a soul ring is the only way to complete a mission," Ning Feiliu thought to herself.

The most important thing is actually the mission reward. This time it's... the blessing of the Thunder Demigod, which also comes with a Rune Overgrowth!

He had previously received the Blessing of the Forged Demigod and the Blessing of the Ice Demigod, which correspond to Ornn and Anivia respectively.

A blessing from an ice demigod increases Ning Feiliu's affinity with ice-attribute beings by 50% and her elemental affinity.

The other blessing from the demigods was the granting of the craftsman god of Ningfeiliu the skill of Orn, which is the ability to forge divine artifacts.

However, it also endowed him with two powerful skills.

The summoning of the God of Forging and the summoning of the God of Ice and Snow have unparalleled ring-exploding mechanisms and their power far exceeds that of ordinary soul skills. Now, depending on the quality of the ring-exploding, they can exert the power of soul skills at least 50,000 years or even 100,000 years.

Now that we have the Blessing of the Thunder Demigod, the first thing we can foresee is another Soul-Bombing Skill, Summoning of the Thunder God.

Maybe... it's the ultimate move from the game "Bear"—"Heavenly Roar."

At that time... maybe they'll just summon a thunder elemental bear to smash down, unleashing a storm of lightning to strike the enemy.

As the element with the most terrifying explosive power, Ning Feiliu dared not even imagine how strong its explosive power could be.

At that time, there will be crowd control and slowing effects from [Call of the God of Ice and Snow], control and damage from [Call of the God of Forging], and burst damage from [Call of the God of Thunder].

Ning Feiliu also possesses a multitude of soul skills, which only makes her... even more formidable.

However, this is only a small part, after all, he now has many skills and his strength is no longer what it used to be.

Even one or two extremely powerful soul skills wouldn't significantly improve his strength.

In addition, there is the [Blessing of the Thunder Demigod], I wonder what it will be.

Currently, between [Blessing of the Forged Demigod] and [Blessing of the Ice Demigod], Ornn's [Blessing of the Forged Demigod] is the most useful.

After all, he bestowed upon Ning Feiliu the Orn craft, allowing him to create various soul tools.

The elemental affinity and life affinity of [Blessing of the Ice and Snow Demigod]... it's not entirely useless, is it?

At least this isn't like they've kidnapped a Snow Queen, is it?

But apart from that, it seems less useful.

This [Blessing of the Thunder Demigod] reminded Ning Feiliu of something about the Bear Clan in the background story...

That means it has an extremely high defense bonus and is immune to lightning element attacks.

Volibear himself even possesses the ability to resist death.

Even if it's just the former, the defense bonus and lightning element immunity would still be a significant boost to Ning Feiliu.

Most importantly, there's also...

It also gives you another rune—Overgrowth.

Although it's not a keystone rune like Dark Harvest, as long as you have runes, what more could you ask for?

Ning Feiliu smiled and said, "It seems quite valuable... Big brother, I remember you still have a Mystic Water Pill, right?"

Ning Mingrui was stunned for a moment, but still took out a box from his soul tool.

Immediately, the eyes of both Dragon Lord Meng Shu and Snake Lady Chao Tianxiang lit up.

Finally, Ning Feiliu used the Xuan Shui Pill given by Ning Mingrui to exchange for the map of the ruins in the hands of Long Gong Meng Shu. Of course, Long Gong also gave her 20,000 gold soul coins at the same price.

After all, the map of the ruins is just a qualification certificate, and it's not like the contents of the ruins are directly given to Ning Feiliu.

No one can be sure what's inside the ruins. Could it be a treasure trove of ancient civilization from the Douluo Continent?

Or is there nothing inside, only some worthless burial items?

In short, it's impossible to exchange a valuable Mystic Water Pill for a ruin map that contains absolutely no information.

The Dragon Lord and Snake Lady were quite satisfied. They honestly spent 10,000 gold soul coins to buy the Xuan Shui Pill, and then gave it to Meng Yiran to swallow on the spot after she absorbed the third soul ring.

As for Ning Feiliu and the others, they didn't wait for them at all and embarked on their journey back to Tiandou City as soon as it was dawn.

……

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Soto, at Shrek Academy.

Since that incident, Shrek Academy has had only six students.

Seven days later, Zhao Wuji was also freed from the Extreme Ice Coffin.

He had been frozen for seven days, during which time he neither ate nor drank nor could he rest, so when he came out he looked completely exhausted.

Even the most powerful Soul Master can't withstand such abuse.

Besides, this is the fantasy world of Douluo Continent, where even Soul Saints are just like ordinary people.

The day before he was taught a lesson by Ning Feiliu, he had already been taught a lesson by Tang San and Tang Dachuizi.

Tang Dachuizi, in particular, although he did not use soul power, the strength he cultivated with his Great Sumeru Hammer made Zhao Wuji suffer greatly.

So he was already physically weak that day, and then he was taught a lesson by Ning Feiliu using the Extreme Ice Nether Coffin technique, which was made from the bone soul of the 600,000-year-old Ice and Snow Maiden.

Most importantly, he was humiliated by Ning Feiliu, a junior, and the physical and mental torment he suffered made him even more despondent.

So after Zhao Wuji came out, he fell seriously ill again and it took him a whole month to fully recover.

During this time, Dai Mubai was also recovering from his injuries. As mentioned before, his right kneecap suffered a comminuted fracture, and in this world, apart from the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone ability, no one could restore his kneecap.

So after he recovered from his injury, his right leg was still limping, making him a true "lame tiger".

Dai Mubai should no longer be called the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, but rather the Evil-Eyed Lame Tiger.

His personality became increasingly gloomy, and in this state of depression, he went to his old flames to vent his frustrations.

But Zhu Zhuqing happened to see it, and the relationship between the two plummeted to a freezing point.

Apart from that, everyone else seemed to be living peacefully as before.

Ma Hongjun still frequently went out to vent his anger, Oscar focused on his cultivation, and Tang San and Xiao Wu seemed to be doing well.

But... I always have this feeling about the Oscars...

Tang San, her roommate, was becoming increasingly strange, especially his face, which looked whiter and had softer features.

The occasional glances he gave him always sent chills down his spine.

Moreover, Oscar always found it strange that he had never seen Tang San go to the toilet; Tang San always went to the toilet alone and quietly.

This is quite strange for men to sneak off to the toilet.

Also, Tang San's clothes always had a strange, fishy smell for some reason.

The flirtatious manner she displayed was also somewhat unacceptable to Oscar.

The key point is... Tang San isn't the same as he is now after his first and second awakenings as the Blue Silver Emperor.

If Tang San, after his first and second awakenings, displayed such a seductive demeanor, even those who knew he was a man might have some doubts.

He looks like an ordinary person now, which is terrifying.

However, Oscar then saw Tang San and Xiao Wu getting along well, and immediately concluded that it was just his imagination.

Tang San clearly has Xiao Wu, how could he be that kind of person?

In short, the current version of Douluo Continent has not yet been updated to the version from Ning Feiliu's previous life, so it's hard for Oscar to imagine that.

Even ten thousand years from now, who could have imagined that Ning Tian would surpass the previous version?

And so, Oscar, still somewhat skeptical, continued to get along harmoniously with Tang San.

Then he broke through to the Soul Master realm. After informing Flander, Flander led them into the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain Soul Rings.

After that, some unexpected things happened.

When they unexpectedly encountered the forest overlord, the Titan Giant Ape, Tang San's first instinct wasn't to protect Xiao Wu, but... to protect him!

As Oscar watched Tang San protect his body, he felt a chill run down his spine.

But in the end, everything turned out alright, and Tang San still went to look for Xiao Wu afterward, which made Oscar think that it was just his imagination.

Then, Tang San unexpectedly broke through to the Soul Master level and obtained a Soul Ring along the way.

Xiao Wu appeared on her own.

Then she broke through to the Soul Master level and obtained a Soul Ring.

However, Tang San did not obtain any more external soul bones along the way, since Ning Feiliu had intercepted the Eight Spider Lances beforehand.

They did not encounter the Dragon King and Snake Queen, nor Meng Yiran and her group, and thus returned to Shrek Academy in good health.

Then, at this moment, Tang San's teacher, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, finally arrived!

……

The capital of the Heavenly Dou Empire is Heavenly Dou City.

Even outside the city gates, there is still a constant stream of people coming and going.

Among them were original residents of Tiandou City, "country" Soul Masters who came to Tiandou City to broaden their horizons, and many caravans and merchants.

After all, Tiandou City is the most prosperous capital of the Tiandou Empire, with a huge daily consumption of resources and various rare treasures.

This place is no longer just frequented by merchants and caravans from the entire Tiandou Empire; merchants and caravans from all over the continent come and go to Tiandou City.

This includes caravans from the Holy City of the Spirit Hall and the enemy nation, the Star Luo Empire.

After all, in peacetime, neither side would prohibit trade between them.

Among the crowd, four richly dressed young men and women stood out.

Especially the handsome young man with short silver hair on the right and the girl with long snow-white hair next to him, they really make people want to stare for more than ten seconds to appreciate their unparalleled beauty.

"Big brother, you two go back first. I need to go see the teacher." Ning Feiliu saw Ning Mingrui and Ning Rongrong off at the city gate, then smiled and said.

"Go ahead... But will Xue Di come along too?" Ning Mingrui naturally understood Ning Feiliu's thoughts, after all, she hadn't seen Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan for so long.

However, he looked at Xue Di beside Ning Feiliu with a strange expression.

During this time, he was unaware that Xue Di was actually a spirit transformed from a spirit beast, and simply regarded her as an ordinary human woman.

Although he understood Ning Feiliu's idea that "a beautiful and virtuous woman is the object of a gentleman's affections."

But bringing Xue Di to Dugu Yan might cause problems.

"Don't worry, big brother, Xue Di and I aren't what you think." Ning Feiliu said helplessly, then added, "Alright, I'm leaving."

"Alright, be careful, go ahead." Ning Mingrui waved his hand.

Ning Feiliu nodded and turned to fly rapidly toward Sunset Forest.
