Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

Sure enough, after A Zi's soul power, which had reached 50,000 years of cultivation, was released, it immediately triggered a kind of law power in the world, which was the lightning tribulation system unique to soul beasts.

This time was different. Because there was readily available tribulation power, the laws of heaven and earth did not mobilize their power to condense into tribulation power on their own. Instead, they used the tribulation power in the thunder pool as a foundation to devour the liquid thunder in the thunder pool, which then evolved into a pitch-black thundercloud, and the aura of destruction became increasingly intense.

Upon seeing this change, Yu Zhenlong and the other four turned green with fear. The previous Thunder Pool was already terrifying enough, but they never expected it to become even stronger. This was truly threatening their lives.

Chapter 485 The Unity of the Three Elements and the Vital Energy

"It's no worse than what Brother Rabbit did back then."

Feeling the intensity of the lightning tribulation, Tian Hao compared it to the time when the Jade Rabbit King withstood it head-on, and felt that it was about the same, obviously reaching the level of a 100,000-year-old soul beast's lightning tribulation.

"It's too huge. Ah Zi and I definitely can't handle it on our own."

Realizing he couldn't withstand this level of lightning tribulation, Tian Hao decisively aimed at the Jade True Dragon below.

"Old man, this is the ninth strike of the Nine Strike of Purple Lightning, the Divine Lightning Demon Shock Heavenly Punishment! Watch closely!"

With a loud shout while suspended in mid-air, Tian Hao manipulated the power of the lightning tribulation to lock onto the Jade True Dragon, making it the target of the other half of the lightning tribulation.

He naturally couldn't control a normally condensed lightning tribulation, but this one was condensed using the lightning pool, and the power of the lightning tribulation within had already been refined by him with the Haotian Divine Sword.

In addition, with the Thunder Tribulation Soul Power reaching level 95 under the Martial Soul Fusion Skill state, it was only possible to barely control a little bit. Although it was only a little bit, it was enough to share half of the target with the Thunder Tribulation.

Fortunately, it wasn't a proper tribulation of lightning; otherwise, if it were to be separated into a specific target, its power would have to be doubled, which would have been disastrous.

This is precisely the purpose of Tian Hao's Nine Strikes of Purple Lightning in the mountain stronghold: to hone his control over the soul power of lightning tribulation, thereby artificially creating lightning tribulation for research, and overcoming the final hurdle in the transnational lightning tribulation tempering system.

He couldn't mess with the tribulations created by heaven and earth, but these man-made imitations were much easier to deal with.

"Help me defend!"

Realizing he was being targeted and that the sense of impending doom was growing stronger, Yu Zhenlong didn't hesitate and quickly used his ice-attribute soul bone skill to create an ice layer once more.

The four Super Douluo hurriedly used their ice-attribute soul bone skills to thicken the ice layer, finally condensing a ten-meter-thick ice shield above them.

That wasn't all. Yu Zhenlong brandished his dragon claws, frantically digging and burrowing into the ground, trying to reach the depths of the earth and use it to withstand the terrifying attack.

Without keeping Yu Zhenlong waiting long, the first wave of the lightning tribulation landed, a bolt of lightning split in two, one half striking Tian Hao and the other half striking the ice layer below.

The thick ice shield was instantly pierced by the power of the lightning tribulation. Although more than half of it was worn away, the remaining third still fell on the locked Jade True Dragon.

In an instant, the dragon scales on its body shattered and turned black, and even the defensive soul skill that enhanced its body could not stop it.

This single strike injured Yu Zhenlong, who had reached the peak of the Douluo realm. Although it was only a superficial injury and did not damage his core, it should be noted that this was only the first lightning tribulation, and only half of it. The power of the subsequent lightning tribulations would increase.

"That's terrible!"

Looking down at the disheveled Yu Zhenlong, Tian Hao couldn't help but sigh that the peak Douluo in Douluo I was really overrated, far from being comparable to the peak Douluo in Douluo II.

It should be noted that in Douluo Continent II, the peak Douluo's Martial Soul True Body can basically reach a scale of 100 meters, which is far stronger than Yu Zhenlong's and they are not even on the same level.

Besides the soul core, the most important factor is the cultivation of mental strength.

While enhanced mental strength cannot be directly used as combat power, it allows for more refined control of soul power, naturally resulting in greater power.

Unfortunately, Yu Zhenlong was born in the Douyi era. Even though he had the opportunity to use divine spiritual power, he lacked the secret methods to cultivate spiritual power, making it difficult for him to make better use of divine spiritual power. Relying solely on passive improvement was too slow.

That's why he was so badly ravaged by the lightning tribulation.

Without paying any more attention to the Jade Dragon and the four Super Douluo below, Tian Hao guided the half of the lightning he had previously unleashed, splitting it in two. One half landed on himself, while the other half entered the Dao Palace Secret Realm and landed on A Zi.

This is, after all, Ah Zi's tribulation, and Ah Zi also needs the tribulation to temper herself and break through her bottleneck.

Of course, Tian Hao did not let A Zi withstand the attack head-on. He used the destructive power of the Haotian Divine Sword to fuse with the creative power of the Blue Silver Divine Tree, thus evolving a trace of creative power.

Following the secret method previously taught by Tian Hao, A Zi fused her spiritual power, soul power, and blood energy into one, transforming it into a relatively pure life force, or life essence.

All living beings evolve from life force, and the three treasures of the human body, essence, energy, and spirit, also originate from the evolution of life force. It is precisely because of this that the Blue Silver Emperor's Blue Silver Domain can transform into different powers based on life force.

It can be said that vitality is the core of essence, energy, and spirit. To resist the tribulation of lightning, one must integrate the power of blood, spirit, and spirit into one, and evolve one's own purest life force, which is life essence.

Then, Tian Hao used that trace of creative power as a guide to direct the power of the lightning tribulation to neutralize the life essence formed by the three treasures within A Zi's body while destroying her body. The two merged into a special energy similar to creative power, but much weaker, to repair and temper her body.

Tian Hao himself was also using the same method to neutralize the pure lightning tribulation power with the life essence formed by the fusion of the three treasures, evolving into a mysterious power similar to the power of creation, possessing great fortune, causing all aspects of his body to undergo a transformation, the greatest transformation being the blood and qi power, soul power and spiritual power that were fused into life essence.

This is Tian Hao's method to break the lightning tribulation system: he uses the fusion of blood, soul power, and spiritual power to form the most essential life force to counter the power of the lightning tribulation, and uses the creative power formed by the fusion of destruction and creation as a guide to lead the fusion of the two, forming a weakened version of the creative power.

Of course, this is just an experiment, and there are still many shortcomings that Tian Hao needs to test and improve during this tribulation.

Not only was Tian Hao experimenting and comprehending the techniques, but the four goddesses in the Dao Palace Secret Realm were also working hard to comprehend and assist in perfecting the techniques.

Previously, Tian Hao did not come here directly. He passed through Wuhun City on the way and brought the four goddesses into the Dao Palace Secret Realm.

Given the current stability of the Divine Kingdom and the Underworld Kingdom, and with the artifacts left behind to suppress them, the four goddesses should have no problem leaving in the short term.

Tian Hao brought the four goddesses out for two reasons: first, just in case, and second, to have them help him improve the method of tempering by lightning tribulation.

After all, they are gods, and their physical attributes are far beyond what ordinary people can compare to.

After enduring three tribulations of lightning, Tian Hao gradually could no longer withstand them.

Without delay, he merged the Purple Lightning Demon Dragon clone into his body using a Martial Soul Fusion Technique, thereby temporarily strengthening himself, especially his resistance to the power of lightning tribulation.

The Purple Lightning Demon Dragon was a clone he had created, and it contained an internal organ. The fusion of his soul power had also been raised to a very high level, so it was not difficult for him to use it as a foundation to unleash a martial soul fusion technique.

Not to mention that his brother-in-law and father-in-law also possess the Purple Lightning Demon Dragon Martial Soul, which is almost of the same origin and has a high degree of compatibility.

With the addition of the Purple Lightning Demon Dragon clone, Tian Hao's condition improved significantly. He withstood the lightning tribulation and guided its power into his body, where it was neutralized by the life essence formed by the fusion of the three treasures. This provided a comprehensive tempering of his body, especially the spiritual power, soul power, and blood power that were fused into life essence, which yielded the best tempering effect. Among these, the spiritual power received the greatest benefit.

Because his spiritual power has reached the limit of this level, infinitely close to the divine consciousness possessed by gods, it is almost impossible for him to transform into divine consciousness by relying solely on his own cultivation. He needs to rely on a certain external stimulus, and the lightning tribulation is the best choice.

As they continuously guided the lightning tribulation to temper themselves, Yu Luomian and Yu Tianlei, father and son who had merged into his body with the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, were completely bewildered. With the help of the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, they could vaguely sense the mysteries within Tian Hao's body, which did not resemble a human body at all.

"Could he be a god?"

The father and son had this thought at the same time: this kind of physical structure was simply too incredible, something that no ordinary person could possess.

Time passed by, because the tribulation itself was guided and shaped by itself, so it had a certain degree of control. In addition, it gave half of the tribulation to Yu Zhenlong to withstand and another quarter to A Zi, so it only needed to bear the last quarter of the tribulation, so the pressure was much less.

Most importantly, having fully transformed his soul bones, his physical strength surpasses that of many soul beasts. With this foundation to withstand the lightning tribulation, he can at least withstand it for a longer period, giving himself the opportunity to neutralize and refine the lightning tribulation.

In addition, by incorporating his father-in-law, brother-in-law, and the Purple Lightning Demon Dragon clone, he not only increased his soul power level but also enhanced his resistance to the power of lightning tribulation.

Most importantly, it was the guidance of that trace of creative power. With so much preparation, Tian Hao successfully survived the tribulation and collected a large amount of valuable data.

He remained suspended in mid-air until he had completely refined the power of the lightning tribulation within his body before opening his eyes and looking down.

At this moment, the valley below was no longer what it used to be; it was a scene of devastation, and Yu Zhenlong and the others had vanished without a trace.

"That old guy was cleaved into ashes?"

Tian Hao was stunned. Was Yu Zhenlong really that weak?

"He didn't die, but he managed to escape. However, he suffered considerable injuries. Could it be that his soul power and martial soul underwent a transformation thanks to the power of the lightning tribulation?"

The Azure Phoenix Douluo, who was hiding nearby to protect her, replied, still with some lingering worry.

Although the power of lightning tribulation is deadly, if one can refine and integrate it into oneself like Yu Luomian did, or even mutate one's martial soul, one's strength will be greatly enhanced, which will undoubtedly add many variables.

"The power of lightning tribulation is not so useful. My father-in-law was able to refine that lightning tribulation power back then purely by luck, or even a miracle."

Even so, the power of the lightning tribulation caused him great damage, and the destructive power would increase as his soul power level increased.

"With Yu Zhenlong's old bones, if he really dared to refine the power of the lightning tribulation, it would be fine if they didn't fight, but once they did, it would be a case of injuring the enemy a thousand while losing ten thousand of his own."

With a cold laugh, Tian Hao wasn't worried at all.

The power of lightning tribulation is not so useful. Just look at the old father-in-law's previous condition. If he hadn't chosen a lightning tribulation soul ring with the Thunderous Hell Vine to temporarily store lightning tribulation power beyond his own limit, he would have died long ago, let alone unleash the Nine Strike Purple Lightning at full power.

Moreover, that method only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause. After all, the Thunderous Hell Vine was a bit too young, and the quality and quantity of lightning tribulation power that the resulting spirit ring could store were limited. Once my father-in-law cultivates into a Super Douluo in the future, the lightning tribulation spirit power he cultivates will inevitably exceed the carrying limit of that spirit ring, and will eventually weigh down on his body.

To completely solve this problem, the only way is to combine it with the cultivation of the Qi and Blood system, and to continuously evolve the new mutated martial soul, the Purple Lightning Demon Dragon, thereby increasing resistance to the power of lightning tribulation.

Therefore, it is very difficult to refine the power of lightning tribulation for one's own use, and even if it is refined, it is still very difficult to use it well, so it is not worth the effort.

Unfortunately, to be honest, the power of lightning tribulation is actually a kind of divine power. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is for mortals to refine divine power, let alone such destructive energy as lightning tribulation power, which is even more difficult.

"What if a deity from the divine realm were to lend a hand?"

This suggests a possibility: Qingluan Douluo didn't take the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Yu Zhenlong seriously; his gaze had long been set on the gods of the God Realm.

"Wouldn't that be perfect for us to guide the next god to his throne, further expanding our plan to slay the gods?"

With a sinister smile, Tian Hao couldn't be happier that some of the gods in the divine realm would take a liking to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and inherit their divine positions, such as the God of Thunder.

Although there weren't many first-level main gods appearing in the God Realm Crisis of the Douluo series, and only seven elemental gods, that refers to the elemental gods under the command of the God of Asura. There must be other elemental gods.

After all, lightning is a powerful element, but it's unlikely that it served under the God of Asura.

Qingluan Douluo remained silent, agreeing with the logic.

If the true forms of the gods from the divine realm were to descend, their combat power would be extremely terrifying.

However, it would be much easier to deal with someone who simply passes down the divine position and artifacts to create a new generation of gods. Even if someone can use the divine position to transform their divine consciousness, divine body, divine power, and divine soul, they still cannot be considered a true god.

That would be like a toddler wielding a large knife; there's no way he could unleash its full power. To unleash that level of power would require countless years of honing his skills.

That was the best time to hunt them down, and it was also the core of their plan to slay the gods.

Without saying anything more, Qingluan Douluo took Tian Hao into his own secret realm, then returned to Wuhun City. After retrieving the four goddesses, he immediately headed towards Zilei Mountain.

Tian Hao had already deactivated his Martial Soul Fusion Technique, separating his father-in-law and brother-in-law and sealing them inside the Blue Silver Tree in the Dao Palace Secret Realm to repair their injuries and help his brother-in-law regenerate his limbs.

At his level, limb regeneration is no longer difficult. It's the internal organs that are a bit more troublesome, followed by the spinal cord and nerves. The most difficult is the brain, which truly deserves to be called the most complex organ in a living being.

Upon landing on the rooftop of Shuangfeibao, Liu Erlong was already there, eagerly awaiting their arrival.

After landing and dispelling his invisibility, Qingluan Douluo nodded to Liu Erlong and then brought Tian Hao out. He did not leave immediately but stood on the rooftop looking at the sea of ​​clouds.

Since you've chosen to lay your cards on the table, there's no need to hide your existence; it's better to reveal it.

Where are my dad and older brother?

Upon seeing her little wolfhound appear, Liu Erlong hurriedly asked, her biggest worry right now being her father and older brother, hoping nothing bad would happen to them.

"Don't worry, I brought your father-in-law and elder brother back to you safe and sound."

With a reassuring smile, Tian Hao pulled his father-in-law and brother-in-law out of the Blue Silver Tree; their injuries had basically stabilized.

My father-in-law's broken limbs have barely recovered, at least he can move normally now, but the rest can only recover slowly.

The eldest brother-in-law's situation is a bit more complicated.

"Big brother!"

When I saw my older brother lying on the ground, covered in blood, his sleeves and trouser legs not only torn but also empty, I was shocked.
