Douluo: Wuhun Seven Killing Sword, Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven

Chapter 292: Horrible Thunder Tribulation, Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring

The process of absorbing the God-given soul ring is relatively long.

The power of the God-given soul ring will gradually increase until it reaches the soul master's limit of endurance, and then enter the soul ring's formation stage.

During this period, Tian Guozhen successfully broke through to level 70 through seclusion.

After a short period of retreat, Tian Chao and Tian Guozhen successfully broke through to level 60, which was a pleasant surprise.

Soul masters who pass the black level assessment and above will be rewarded with a god-given soul ring when they break through to a higher level for the first time.

About a month later, the four of them finished absorbing spirit rings one after another.

"Let's go. We've been out for quite a long time this time." Ning Tianchen stretched lazily and put on the jacket and tiger skin he wore in the past.

After leaving the temple, the cold air outside was like a sharp knife, blowing on the cheek and causing pain.

After staying in a warm area for a long time, everyone suddenly found it difficult to adapt to the severe cold.

Even people like Tian Guozhen, who had been walking on the ice field for many years, were shivering with cold.

"It's really cold. I wonder if I'll be back here for the next assessment."

The content of the second test has not been released yet, and no one knows what kind of test they will face next.

……

After more than a year, the collapsed area in front of the temple was covered with a thick layer of snow again, with only a hole above the head where people could leave.

Ning Tianchen relied on his flying ability to bring everyone to the ground one by one.

When we came here, this area was a flat ice field, but now it has turned into a bumpy area.

"Has there been a battle here?" everyone was puzzled.

In the temple, they could not sense the situation in the outside world, let alone the major events happening above their heads.

These potholes of varying sizes were definitely not caused by natural factors, but were most likely caused by powerful soul masters or soul beasts fighting.

Ning Tianchen ran forward a few steps, then suddenly leaned over and pointed at his feet. "Such a large footprint, this soul beast passing by must be very old."

The joy of completing the divine test and receiving the reward made everyone forget for a moment that they were in the depths of the Arctic ice field. This was the territory of high-age soul beasts, and it was not ruled out that there were even 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

Tian Guozhen frowned and said, "Without the Third Elder, we alone may not be able to resist the attacks of the soul beasts. Everyone, hide your aura, we need to pass through the soul beasts' territory."

As he spoke, he took out a topographic map from his soul guide and checked the surrounding area.

"The topographic map drawn by the Third Elder is very comprehensive. Without the interference of soul beasts, leaving the Arctic Icefield will not be a problem."

The real test has just begun.

You know, when they came, they didn't stay around the route for too long, and the topographic map they drew only had a single route. When encountering a powerful soul beast, once they deviated from the route during the escape, they would almost get lost in this vast ice field.

Wearing snow-white cloaks, everyone moved forward while concealing their auras.

……

A day later, just as they were about to step out of the ice field, they noticed the weather had changed drastically.

"The storm is coming?" Everyone instinctively wanted to find a cave for shelter.

Ning Tianchen shook his head and said, "No, the daytime is very long now, it is obviously summer. A storm with such a big noise can only happen in winter."

Everyone stopped and looked into the distance.

Excluding natural factors, only human factors remain. No matter how impossible it is, people have to believe it.

Not long after, Ning Rongrong pointed to a mountain in the distance and said, "Look, there is a huge soul beast on the top of that mountain."

After absorbing the spirit-condensing skull, her mental strength increased exponentially and her vision range became larger.

The sky above the mountain seemed to be the source of the storm. This huge soul beast stood under the storm, most likely going through the thunder tribulation of breaking through 100,000 years of cultivation.

"Should we go around it? Once the storm starts, the road ahead will be difficult to travel on." Tian Guozhen looked at the topographic map in his hand with an extremely ugly expression.

There is no other reason. The snow mountain where the soul beast is located is one of the terrains marked on the topographic map.

If you go around it, and the storm is severe, it is easy to get lost.

"No. For us, it is safer to walk from the foot of the mountain." Ning Tianchen objected.

The thunderbolt would only attack soul beasts, not humans. If they were a little further away, the violent thunderbolt would not be able to hit them.

Besides, if soul beasts sensed the danger here, they would not approach. They could rest assured if they passed through it.

"Your idea is good, but it's too risky." Tian Chao said, "The size of that soul beast is more than half of the mountain. Its cultivation is likely to be 100,000 years, or even higher. If you pass by it, there is no place to hide."

Ning Rongrong continued, "I agree with Brother Tianchen's idea. The soul beast probably wants to fight against the strange phenomenon in the sky. We passed by it, and as long as we don't show any aggressive behavior, it may not care."

For a moment, everyone had different opinions and got into an argument.

Tian Guozhen and others naturally wanted to be safer, so they used the snow mountain as a reference and went around it.

Ning Tianchen guessed that they might encounter powerful spirit beasts on the detour, causing unnecessary trouble. Therefore, passing through the foot of the snowy mountain was the safest option.

On the ice field, everyone kept their arguments within limits. If there was an internal conflict, no one would be able to leave safely.

While they were arguing, bursts of thunder flashed in the sky, and the violent roar made the entire snowfield tremble.

"The power of this thunder is probably not weaker than the full-strength attack of a Super Douluo. My friend, it is too dangerous to pass under the snow mountain. Let's go around it." Tian Guozhen patted Ning Tianchen on the shoulder.

The soul beast's natural tribulation will not attack humans.

Ning Tianchen felt helpless.

There is no relevant theoretical support on the mainland. Even if Ning Tianchen proposed it, no one would believe it.

After all, looking for a hundred thousand year old soul beast that just happened to be hit by a thunderstorm is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Not to mention, who would risk their life to do so?

After a pause, Ning Tianchen said with a serious expression, "Do you believe me? Look carefully, the target of this violent thunder attack is that soul beast, and it is extremely accurate, not a single thunderbolt falls anywhere else."

"I think there is some connection between this thunder and the soul beast, and it will not attack human soul masters. The terrifying degree of this thunder is that the soul beast must deal with it with all its heart and soul, so it has no energy to care about us."

"This" After careful observation, Tian Guozhen and others had to admit that Ning Tianchen was right.

But they still didn't want to pass under the snow mountain.

Since neither side could convince the other, Ning Tianchen said helplessly: "We both have maps. Since we have different opinions, let's go our separate ways and meet at the foot of the snowy mountain farther away."

After saying that, he took Ning Rongrong and walked towards the snow mountain.

"Guozhen, we..." Tian Chao suddenly felt anxious.

If they separate, both parties are likely to encounter unexpected events.

"There is strength in numbers, let's follow them." Tian Guozhen gritted his teeth and followed.

Tian Chao wanted to stop them, but he and Tian Guocheng did not have a topographic map, and if they did not follow the main force, they would probably be trapped here to death.

……

There were rumbles of thunder overhead, with bursts of lightning.

Ning Tianchen and his group walked at the foot of the mountain, but were never struck by thunder.

"What do you think? You will be right if you believe in Brother Tianchen." Ning Rongrong said proudly to Tian Guozhen and the other two.

The three did not refute.

However, if they were given the chance to choose again, they would still not agree to pass through here.

Before experiencing it themselves, who knows whether the thunder in the sky will take their lives?

It was equivalent to a full-strength thunder strike from a Super Douluo. As Soul Emperors and Soul Saints, they would die on the spot if struck by the thunder.

The closer we get to the snow mountain, the clearer the appearance of the soul beast on the top of the mountain becomes.

Looking up, I saw a giant dragon over 40 meters long and nearly 20 meters tall struggling under the bombardment of thunder.

His body was covered with golden scales, which sparkled under the constant attacks of thunder.

"A hundred thousand year old golden-scaled dragon, his size is too big." Tian Guozhen was speechless.

Normally, a 100,000-year-old golden-scaled dragon is only two-thirds the size of this guy. In the soul beast world, the larger the soul beast of the same species, the stronger it is. This is almost an iron rule.

It is obvious that the strength of the golden-scaled dragon in front of him is far more than 100,000 years.

No one dared to stay and quickly passed through the snow-capped mountains.

When they were about to leave the snowy mountain range, the movement in the sky suddenly disappeared. Without even turning back, they ran forward with all their might.

About half a minute later, a loud noise was heard from behind.

The golden-scaled dragon standing on the top of the mountain fell weakly onto the snow, raising a cloud of snow dust.

"he died?"

Ning Tianchen was the first to stop and look back.

When a soul beast is going through a thunder tribulation, the thunder above the sky suddenly disappears. There are only two possibilities.

Either you succeed in overcoming the tribulation, or you fail.

Obviously, the case of this golden-scaled dragon belongs to the latter.

If he succeeds in advancing, there will definitely be a strong burst of soul power fluctuations. Unfortunately, there was no movement behind them.

Tian Guozhen and others were about to urge him to escape quickly, but after seeing the situation behind them, they all stopped at the same time.

"Faced with such a thunderous bombardment, even the sect master couldn't withstand it. It seems that this guy is about to die." Tian Guozhen smiled and said, "Although we can't get the 100,000-year spirit ring, the value of the 100,000-year spirit bone is very good. How about everyone wait nearby?"

"Once this guy dies, we will go and get the soul bone."

Ning Tianchen rejected his proposal. “The intelligence of a hundred thousand year old soul beast is no less than that of an adult. With a hundred thousand years of cultivation, this soul beast must be very proud. Before dying, it will most likely choose to self-destruct, and will not leave behind its body and soul bones.”

This is also the reason why hundred thousand year soul bones are extremely rare on the continent.

In terms of time, the number of hundred thousand year soul beasts is not small. If they all choose to die naturally, then there must be hundred thousand year soul bones left at the place where they fell, which will be picked up by human explorers. But the reality is that explorers have almost never found hundred thousand year soul bones.

"This..." Tian Chao and the other two were dumbfounded.

Although they didn't know much about soul master theory, based on their knowledge, they didn't think the other party was talking nonsense.

You know, some ten thousand year soul beasts with a slightly higher level of intelligence will choose to self-destruct before dying, let alone a hundred thousand year soul beast.

The hundred thousand year soul bone is right in front of them, but they cannot get it, which makes everyone feel very uncomfortable.

Ning Tianchen thought about it and decided to give it a try.

"He's not dead yet. I'll go over and talk to him."

As someone who has passed the divine test, he has the biggest bargaining chip.

The soul beasts are constantly improving themselves and trying to survive the heavenly tribulation, isn't it just to become divine beasts one day?

After sacrificing their soul rings and soul bones, soul beasts will be resurrected in the divine realm and will directly become divine beasts, which saves them many years of detours.

Of course, this idea is very risky. Once the other party becomes furious, he may be used as a scapegoat at any time.

"You want to get close to him?" Everyone was shocked.

Ning Tianchen tapped the blood-red Shura mark between his eyebrows and said with a smile, "For this guy, the gods are his only hope for resurrection."

The means of the gods are beyond belief, and Tian Guozhen and the other two cannot be false.

Ning Rongrong stood in front of him and said, "Brother Tianchen, Rongrong will not allow you to put yourself in danger. The strength of a hundred thousand year soul beast is unpredictable, and a random attack may cost you your life."

"With the strength of Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone, you will definitely be able to obtain a hundred thousand year spirit ring and spirit bone in the future. There is no need to rush. Even if you still have a God-given spirit ring, you can still obtain a hundred thousand year spirit ring in the future."

Ning Tianchen patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "Rongrong, don't worry, I never do anything without confidence."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for the other party to speak, he stepped on the Seven Killing Sword and flew towards the hundred thousand year old golden scale dragon.

……

While he was still on the way, a voice floated into his ears, "The inheritor of the gods, you are such a lucky kid."

Ning Tianchen was shocked at first, then he had some guesses in his mind.

Instead of retreating, he sped up and landed next to the Golden Scale Dragon.

"You recognize the mark of the divine test, which means you must know a divine tester. Is it the God of Light from that year?" Ning Tianchen asked.

It has only been tens of thousands of years since the God of Light inherited the throne, and this hundred thousand year old soul beast may have seen the God of Light in his life.

"Of course." As he spoke, the Golden Scaled Dragon's face had a hint of arrogance.

Nearly fifty thousand years ago, the God of Light came to the Arctic ice field.

At that time, this golden-scaled dragon had only cultivated for more than 30,000 years. Moreover, he was just an ordinary soul beast, not even a dragon.

After being defeated by the God of Light, he became his follower. Before ascending to heaven, the God of Light blessed him and completely changed his bloodline, which transformed him into a golden-scaled dragon and even grew into a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Unfortunately, when the God of Light ascended, he could not bring soul beasts to the divine realm, so he stayed in the Arctic ice field and guarded the temple.

"That little girl is really good, but it's a pity that she has just broken through and cannot accept my 100,000-year spirit ring. But I don't have much time left, and my spirit rings and spirit bones are destined to be wasted."

Ning Tianchen had never expected that this golden-scaled dragon had such a connection with the God of Light.

Logically speaking, the other party was equivalent to the guardian soul beast of the temple. When they entered the temple, it was estimated that the Golden Scale Dragon was preparing for the heavenly tribulation and was not guarding near the temple.

"I don't know if Senior Light God has ever told you that after you sacrifice yourself, if you are resurrected in the God Realm, you can use the power of the God Realm to directly transform into a divine beast?"

The Golden Scaled Dragon was somewhat tempted.

The God of Light did say something similar to him when he ascended.

That is, with the help of the power of the God Realm, he could become a soul beast. But unfortunately, he could not go to the God Realm, so the matter was left unresolved.

Hearing Ning Tianchen mention it again, how could he be willing to miss this last chance.

"Little ghost, I don't know which god has tested you, but I can't wait for the successor of the God of Light to break through level 70."

"You use your level 68 strength, and my power can make up for the remaining two levels of soul power and help you break through to Soul Saint. But I need you to swear with your martial soul and future godhood. When you go to the God Realm, you must resurrect me and let me reunite with the God of Light. If you disobey, your godhood will be shattered and there will be no recovery."

Ning Tianchen shook his head, "Sorry, I can't promise you."

The Golden Scale Dragon said angrily: "Little devil, even if I only have one breath left, don't even think about killing me, let alone getting my spirit ring and spirit bone."

Ning Tianchen explained: "You misunderstood. The Godhood Assessment is full of dangers. I have only just finished the first test. I dare not say that I will definitely pass the remaining eight tests."

"If I fail, I will also break my promise to some extent."

The Golden Scale Dragon suddenly laughed and said, "Don't be arrogant. You have a promising future."

"If you really dare to swear, I will never give you the soul bone. Little boy, your performance satisfies me."

Ning Tianchen smiled silently.

He never promised anything he was not sure of, but he didn't expect that his actions in daily life would be of great help today.

Jinlinlong had a deep understanding of the divine test. The God of Light probably told him a lot about it back then.

After all, the Golden Scale Dragon is entrusting his life and property to someone else. If the other party is an arrogant person, how can he feel at ease?

Without giving Ning Tianchen a chance to speak, a blood-red beam of light shot up into the sky and formed a barrier around his body, preventing anyone from approaching.

……

Ning Rongrong, who was far away, saw the unusual movement and became anxious.

"What happened? Brother Tianchen, please don't be in any trouble."

"This..." Tian Guozhen stared blankly at the sky dyed red by blood-red soul power.

"Guozhen, did the sect leader say anything to you?" Tian Guocheng asked.

Tian Guozhen said dully, "The sect leader said that when a hundred thousand year soul beast is sacrificed, the hundred thousand years of cultivation will turn into pure soul power and soar into the sky. The movement will be so loud that it can be clearly seen within a radius of hundreds of miles."

Ning Rongrong covered her mouth.

The soul beast sacrifice, doesn't that mean that Ning Tianchen will definitely get a hundred thousand year soul ring and a hundred thousand year soul bone!

Tian Chao said in a deep voice: "With such a big commotion, will other soul beasts rush over here? Do we need to evacuate as soon as possible?"

Tian Guozhen shook his head, "No need, the soul beasts won't come. In the soul beast world, only soul beasts of 100,000 years can be sacrificed. When the soul beasts see this, they will only wail and won't do anything else. Most soul beasts don't have a sense of superiority or inferiority, but they worship the strong."

"The one chosen by the hundred thousand year soul beasts for sacrifice is also the one they admire. We won't encounter any troubles in the next hundred miles."

Ning Rongrong smiled and said, "For us, it is a blessing to see the sacrifice of a hundred thousand year old soul beast."

Tian Guozhen smiled bitterly.

Ning Tianchen, who obtained a hundred thousand year spirit ring and spirit bone, has completely left him behind.
