"Hey big oaf, stop looking around! This is Gale Valley in Sunset Forest, which will be our battlefield, and also your graveyard!" Tianlin laughed. "You seem to be a few years away from reaching the 100,000-year level. I'll give you those few years!"
"Fifth Soul Skill, Illusory Water Thunder!"
Tianlin's Illusory Water Thunderclap is completely different when used on humans and soul beasts. When used on soul masters, the higher the soul master's level, the lower the amplification effect of the Illusory Water Thunderclap.
Soul beasts, on the other hand, are always fixed; adding a certain number of years doesn't change their lifespan. The Earth Behemoth's bottleneck of just a few years was overcome in an instant.
A new 100,000-year-old soul beast was born, and it was an ancient overlord soul beast like the Behemoth. It was no match for Tianlin in a head-on fight. Moreover, with the terrifying defense of the Earth Behemoth, even using the Demon Flame Flash Slash might not be effective. It was necessary to cripple it first before reaping the rewards. Tianlin had already devised a despicable and shameless battle strategy.
Chapter 214 Ten Thousand Year Heavenly Tribulation: Heavenly Dream Slays Behemoth
"I've surpassed 100,000 years!"
The Earth Behemoth stared blankly at its own hands. After reaching the level of 100,000 years, it was able to speak human language.
"Hehe, thank me, but that's not enough. I'll add more to your cultivation!"
Tianlin's Illusory Water Thunder continued to activate, and the Earth Behemoth felt its power constantly increasing. At first, it was pleasantly surprised, but gradually, it turned into fear.
"No, stop! Stop right now!"
The Earth Behemoth's entire soul power began to vibrate, attempting to shatter the amplification light of the Heavenly Scale, but to no avail. The strongest point of the Heavenly Scale demonic sword was its domineering nature.
The enhancement from the Demon Sword is a matter of whether Tianlin wants to give it or not; no human or soul beast has the right to refuse.
Finally, the boost given to the Earth Behemoth quickly brought its cultivation level to 101,000 years.
There's a saying about 100,000-year-old soul beasts: if they don't choose to transform into human form and start cultivating again on the day they reach 100,000 years old, then they can only live for another 1,000 years.
Actually, this statement is not entirely accurate. The real statement should be that when one reaches a cultivation level of 101,000, one will trigger the first 100,000-year Heavenly Tribulation. If one survives it, one will live for another 100,000 years; if one fails to survive it, one will naturally die and one's cultivation will dissipate.
At this moment, thunderclouds gathered above Gale Valley, mirroring the phenomena of the million-year divine calamity triggered by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, only on a smaller scale.
The Earth Behemoth glared angrily at Tianlin. It finally understood that this human actually wanted to use the 100,000-year Soul Beast Tribulation to hunt it down.
Speaking of which, this was inspired by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm that Tianlin learned. It turns out that the timing of the Heavenly Tribulation is not really based on whether the person has lived for 100,000 or 1,000 years, but rather on whether their cultivation level has reached that level.
"You despicable human, I will kill you!"
The Behemoth's body suddenly began to swell, its eyes turned blood red, and its aura surged in an instant.
"Xiao Tian, be extremely careful. This is a racial skill of the Behemoth race, Berserk. It trades sanity for power. Moreover, this Behemoth's strength has now exceeded 100,000 years, and it can also be immune to some of the side effects of Berserk, retaining a sliver of its sanity. It is extremely difficult to deal with," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm warned.
"I understand, watch my Immortal Wind Cloud Body Technique!" Tianlin created countless illusory bodies within the valley.
At this moment, his strength was insufficient to fight the Behemoth head-on, so temporarily avoiding the attack was the right choice. When the heavenly lightning struck, it would naturally cause damage to the Behemoth.
The Behemoth brandished its blood claws, relentlessly destroying one illusory form after another of Tianlin's. However, Tianlin possessed another unique skill, the Drunken Immortal Gazing at the Moon Step, making it impossible to strike his true form in a short time.
Just then, the first bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the Behemoth on the head.
As expected of a 100,000-year heavenly tribulation, even the Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen might not be able to unleash such a powerful lightning strike.
"A good opportunity! Second Soul Skill, Ice and Fire God Sealing!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tianlin unleashed his second soul skill, striking the Behemoth in the chest.
This attack was not meant to cause harm, but to seal. Tianlin's all-out strike sealed away nearly 1,500 years of Behemoth's cultivation in one fell swoop.
In other words, its power has regressed to below 100,000 years, but the tribulation of lightning has not disappeared, because the function of the Ice and Fire God Sealing is to seal. That is to say, those cultivations are not gone, but they cannot be used.
Under the judgment of the Heavenly Tribulation, the Behemoth at this time still had a cultivation level of 11,000 years.
The Behemoth was so aggrieved that it wanted to cry but had no tears. How could this be? Even a 100,000-year-old soul beast would have difficulty withstanding the tribulation of lightning. It was being asked to use its less than 100,000-year cultivation to block it. Even though it was an ancient soul beast with an amazing physique, it simply couldn't withstand it.
The second bolt of lightning struck, turning the Behemoth's fur pitch black. Because it was in a berserk state, it barely managed to withstand it.
However, at this moment, its physical condition clearly began to decline, and it was feared that it would not be able to withstand this third heavenly tribulation.
"It's time! Soul Bone Skill, Hurricane Vacuum Slash!" Tianlin leaped high into the air, his right foot slicing through a crescent-shaped wind blade. Given the Behemoth's current physical condition, it would be difficult for it to evade Tianlin's attack.
Although the attack successfully injured it, this was not Tianlin's real purpose. His purpose was to drain the air around the Behemoth's body and create a vacuum barrier.
Fortunately, before Tianlin transmigrated, he managed to pass his physics exam and knew one thing: the transmission of electric current requires a medium, and in a vacuum environment, lightning attacks would be greatly limited.
The third lightning bolt used most of its power to break Tianlin's vacuum barrier. The remaining small portion was still withstood by the Behemoth, but it completely reduced its health bar to a sliver and rendered it utterly incapable of fighting.
Tianlin cannot allow the Behemoth to die under the lightning tribulation, otherwise its soul rings and soul bones will disappear.
Now it's time for him to deliver the final blow, "Fourth Soul Skill, Flowing Light Immortal Slaying Slash!"
Before the fourth bolt of lightning struck, Tianlin's longsword finally pierced the heart of the Behemoth. At this moment, Tianlin revealed a sly smile, which was not his usual style. At the last moment, Tianlin lent his body to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm again. Its great revenge should be left for it to take on its own.
Sensing the aura of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm once more, the Behemoth roared with its last breath, "You bastard, you actually colluded with humans and used such despicable means to deal with me!"
"Call me despicable? Do you have the right to say that? You and your brother sealed me away with a sealing technique for twelve years, constantly absorbing my essence for cultivation. You must know how important essence is to any soul beast, right?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm roared. "The day my essence is completely absorbed by you, I will surely die a more miserable death than you are now."
"Therefore, I must seek revenge on you. Xiao Tian and I are now one. I am not him, but he is me. It is only right and reasonable for him to help me take revenge. Don't be impatient. Soon, my Xiao Tian will send your brother to the underworld to join you. Until then, just wait patiently underground!"
After saying that, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm drew out the Demon Sword, and the Behemoth's huge body finally fell to the ground unwillingly. Because it had lost its target, the 100,000-year Heavenly Tribulation gradually dissipated.
"Haha, I've finally avenged my great grudge! I feel so good!" Using Tianlin's body, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm laughed loudly.
Tianlin let him vent all his resentment before taking his body back, since the soul ring has a time limit and will dissipate if not absorbed in time.
However, he did not expect that this 100,000-year heavenly tribulation would be so powerful that it directly crippled the Behemoth, saving him the trouble of preparing to use the Demon Flame Flash Slash.
No wonder it is said that a 100,000-year-old soul beast can only live for another 1,000 years if it does not transform into human form. Ordinary soul beasts, such as the Soft Bone Rabbit Xiao Wu, simply cannot survive the Heavenly Tribulation.
It has to be an ancient species like the Titan Ape that could be involved. The Behemoth could also be grown naturally, but unfortunately, it was forcibly raised by Tianlin and then forcibly sealed away. It was completely outmaneuvered by Tianlin.
Chapter 215 Absorbing a 100,000-Year Soul Ring: Awakening of a God-Level Martial Soul
A red spirit ring slowly appeared on the corpse of the Behemoth.
Tianlin walked over with excitement. This was his first 100,000-year soul ring, which he had obtained through his own efforts.
Tianlin used his soul power to pull the soul ring over, and the enormous impact began to tear his body apart. He died such a miserable death, which shows how deep the resentment of that Behemoth was.
After reaching level 60, Tianlin not only became stronger, but also unlocked another layer of the seal on his million-year soul ring and soul bone.
Back when he was at level 50, he was already capable of withstanding a spirit ring of about 60,000 years. Now, with the help of the Holy Spirit Domain, absorbing this 100,000-year spirit ring is practically a certainty, although the process will be somewhat painful.
But he survived for millions of years back then, so what is this little bit?
Inside Gale Valley, the wind howled, but the figure absorbing the soul ring remained unmoved, seemingly completely unaffected.
At this moment, the demonic sword's blade was constantly intertwined and flashing with five colors: yellow, green, blue, red, and cyan. The demonic sword was expressing excitement. Although the amount was not yet very full, the five major elemental attributes had finally all gathered within the sword's blade.
A day later, the power of the 100,000-year spirit ring gradually stabilized. Tianlin had passed the danger period and was now using the power of the spirit ring to strengthen his body and choose spirit skills.
A 100,000-year soul ring can generate two soul skills. The Earth Behemoth's attribute is earth. Based on this, Tianlin first introduced fire and lightning attributes, creating a three-attribute magic sword skill, a large-scale group attack soul skill, the Three Talents Demon-Breaking Array.
When the attack is launched, the demonic sword will split into three, occupying the three positions of Heaven, Earth, and Man, forming a sword formation. All enemies within the sword formation will be slain by the endless sword energy.
Next, Tianlin incorporated water and wind attributes to create another demonic sword skill, Myriad Spirits Rejuvenating Light, a wide-range auxiliary soul skill that restores soul power.
If the level is lower than Tianlin, it will fully restore all health in one go; if the level is higher than Tianlin, it will restore an amount equivalent to Tianlin's current level.
Unlike Ye Lingling, whose soul power recovery is continuous, replenishing while fighting, Tianlin's recovery is instantaneous, restoring one to peak condition in one go. However, the drawback is that it cannot be used continuously; a person can only receive such a powerful recovery once a day, otherwise the body will not be able to withstand it.
"It's done!" Tianlin stood up, having accomplished his mission.
The demonic sword was raised high, and a sword intent soared into the sky. The divine-level martial soul finally began to show its fangs. In addition to the sixth soul skill he had just acquired, the other five soul skills also had varying degrees of enhancement.
Frozen Snow, Illusory Water Thunder, and Flowing Light Immortal Slaying Slash are all enhancements in power.
While the flow of feng shui may seem unchanged, Tianlin felt that as long as he broke through level 70 and used this move again under the true form of the weapon spirit, it would be able to resolve all true states, including the true form of the weapon spirit!
The Illusory Water Thunderclap is an increase in the amplification rate. When dealing with human soul masters, it can instantly raise any level below sixty to sixty.
In other words, even if it's just a newly awakened little guy with innate soul power level one, Tianlin can make him a level sixty Soul Emperor, which is terrifying.
Of course, that's the theory. Compared to soul beasts, humans are much more limited. First of all, they don't have soul rings. Even if they have level 60 soul power, they can only use level 10. Moreover, this is only theoretical, because in reality, a six-year-old child's body simply cannot withstand such strong soul power.
The greatest strategic significance of this move is breaking through the bottleneck. Even if Tianlin's level is higher than his, he should be able to break through the level 70 bottleneck at level 69. However, for Soul Douluo level players above level 80, the effect of this move is still negligible.
For soul beasts, it's much simpler: a fixed increase of 15,000 years of cultivation, which is similar to what Tianlin had in mind.
Besides the enhancement of his soul skills due to the qualitative change in his martial soul, Tianlin also gained something else: how could a god-level martial soul not have a talent domain?
The Demon Sword's innate domain, in its first stage of awakening, is called the Demon Suppression Domain. Its current effect is the same as the Sea Dragon Douluo's Demon-Breaking Domain, both of which suppress opponents and render other domains ineffective. However, just as Tang San's Blue Silver Domain evolved into the Myriad Manifestations of the Universe, Tian Lin felt that his Demon Suppression Domain could also evolve.
It's estimated that we'll have to wait until the Martial Soul True Form appears or one advances to the Title Douluo level.
"Xiao Tian, don't forget to check the Behemoth's corpse. It had reached the level of 100,000 years before it died, so it will definitely produce a soul bone that you don't have yet," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm reminded him.
Tianlin knew this basic common sense, so he went forward to check, starting with the limbs, but found nothing.
Tianlin was not worried but happy about this, because he already had the skull. Since no soul bones appeared in the limbs, it meant that it could only be the torso.
The longsword sliced through the Behemoth's body, and a piece of torso bone, radiating a red glow but with an earthy yellow exterior, slowly flew out.
"Haha, we've hit the jackpot this time! The legends are true! The Behemoth is the most likely soul beast to produce a torso bone due to its incredible physique. Xiao Tian, quickly absorb it! The 100,000-year soul ring you just received has already pushed your soul power to nearly level 63. If you absorb this 100,000-year soul bone, you can reach at least level 65, or even 66!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm exclaimed excitedly.
Tianlin took the soul bone with joy, but just before placing it on his chest, he suddenly thought of something and hesitated.
"Xiao Tian, what are you doing? Hurry up and absorb it! This is a 100,000-year-old torso bone from a Behemoth. Its quality is definitely not much inferior to those ferocious beast soul bones," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm urged anxiously.
Tianlin shook his head. "Brother Tianmeng, I want to keep this soul bone. In a few years, the Spirit Hall will have a big plan for my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which is a crisis of annihilation."
"With the current strength of our sect, their nine elders pose no threat at all. So I'm worried that the Hall of Offerings will take action. I don't care about the other offerings, but I'm afraid that the strongest Grand Elder and Second Elder will make a move. The Grand Elder, Qian Daoliu, is a level 99 Limit Douluo, and the Second Elder, Jin E, is a level 98 Super Douluo. Moreover, they both possess 100,000-year-old soul rings and soul bones."
"Although my master is now at level 98, there is still a decisive gap between him and them in terms of soul rings and soul bones."
"So you want to give this 100,000-year-old soul bone to your master to make up for the gap in this area." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm understood Tianlin's intention.
As long as Chen Xin absorbs the 100,000-year-old soul bone, he can at least suppress Golden Crocodile Douluo, if not Qian Daoliu.
Qian Daoliu is guarding the Hall of Worship, so he is unlikely to appear during the Soul Hunting Operation. Therefore, as long as we can defeat Golden Crocodile Douluo, the crisis of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can be considered resolved.
Chapter 216 The Crisis of the Future: Soul Hunting Operation
Having regulated his soul power and greatly increased his strength, Tianlin prepared to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Just then, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm reminded him, "Little Tian, take the Behemoth's body with you. Its flesh is extremely effective for body tempering. It may not be of much use to you now, but it can be given to your sect's disciples to eat."
Tianlin was taken aback. "Brother Tianmeng, you and this Behemoth are both soul beasts, right? Killing it isn't enough, do you also want to leave it without a complete corpse and make it food for humans?"
"What's the big deal? It's very common for powerful soul beasts to eat weaker ones in our soul beast world." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm frowned. "Little Tian, although your strength is improving every day, it seems your temperament is falling behind?"
"What do you mean?" Tianlin asked, puzzled.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm shook her head. "It's nothing. Let's think of another way, brother. This can't go on."
This day, Meng Bingcan liked to only say half of what she meant, probably something she learned from Ning Fengzhi. Tianlin didn't press her for details. He stepped forward, put the Behemoth's body into his soul tool, and then flew away from Gale Valley on his sword.
Upon seeing Tianlin return, Chenxin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been working tirelessly for the past few days, his eyes never leaving the talisman in his hand.
