Douluo: Being kidnapped into the Holy Spirit Church at the beginning

Chapter 187: Limit, Divine Punishment

"Huh? No!"

"retreat!"

Jin Peng looked at the dark clouds that were still gathering in the sky, his expression changed, his eyes were full of solemnity, and he took Jiang Jue back to the outside of the cliff.

"Friend Jiang, you are in for a treat this time."

Jin Peng did not remove the golden shield that was protecting Jiang Jue. Instead, he raised his hand and another stream of soul power shot out, further strengthening the shield around Jiang Jue.

"Master Jin, how could there be so many Thundering Hell Vines here?"

Jiang Jue looked at the dark blue vines that were constantly waving their bodies, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

In his knowledge, soul beasts like the Thundering Hell Vine are extremely rare and are also extremely powerful plant-type soul beasts.

There are even records that the Thundering Hell Vine has the blood of the Thunder God. This plant can attract lightning in thunderstorms to attack itself from an early age.

The thunder and lightning that other soul beasts try to avoid are the only way for the Thundering Hell Vine to increase its cultivation. By absorbing the energy from the thunder and lightning, it can continuously break through the realm.

Moreover, the Thundering Hell Vine usually appears in deep mountains and old forests, develops and grows in uninhabited places, and appears alone.

Now in front of Jiang Jue, on the cliff, there were at least sixty or seventy plants at a glance, and each of them emitted violent blue arcs of electricity.

“Hahaha, this is the treasure land of our Benti Sect that I told you about.”

Jin Peng stroked his long beard, laughed, and then said.

"Our Body Sect is located on a natural chasm. The altitude here is high enough and closer to the sky, making it an ideal place for the Thundering Hell Vine to grow."

"As for why there are so many Thundering Hell Vines, it's because of this!"

Jin Peng pointed at the group of Thundering Hell Vines from a distance, and Jiang Jue looked in the direction he was looking.

I saw that among the group of Thundering Hell Vines, there was a dark purple vine, standing proudly among the group. From time to time, purple lightning flashed on its body. The whole body was purple, like flowing light, and it exuded a lonely and arrogant air.

But in Jiang Jue's perception, the purple thunder was not just lightning, it actually contained a breath of destruction!

When thunder becomes extremely violent, it will cause destruction.

"Is this the Thundering Hell Vine that is tens of thousands of years old?"

Jiang Jue raised his eyebrows. His perception was actually interrupted by that. However, he could still simply judge from the aura emanating from the Thundering Hell Vine that it was over ten thousand years old.

"Yes, and it's not just ten thousand years old, but the Thundering Hell Vine is already as old as ninety thousand years old!"

Jin Peng nodded slightly and said with emotion.

"Ninety thousand years?!"

"This Thundering Hell Vine can actually live so long!"

Jiang Jue's expression changed, surprise appeared in his eyes, and he said with some disbelief.

"When I first saw it, I couldn't believe it. A Thundering Hell Vine could live so long."

Jin Peng's eyes flashed as he spoke slowly.

"When a soul beast like the Thundering Hell Vine is just born, it only has a small section. It can be said to be the slowest growing soul beast in the soul beast world. The only way for it to increase its cultivation is to attract thunder to strike itself."

“Only after experiencing a hundred lightning strikes can one’s cultivation level be improved by one year. However, once this kind of soul beast breaks through ten thousand years, it will be one of the fastest cultivators in the soul beast world.”

"Because after ten thousand years, it will be able to change the weather through its own abilities, automatically gather thunder and lightning, and practice."

Jiang Jue also understood this. The Thundering Hell Vine was the strongest among the thunder-attributed soul beasts. After all, which soul beast relied on being struck by thunder to increase its cultivation?

And because of its own characteristics, once the Thundering Hell Vine is cultivated to a certain level, its destructive power will be extremely terrifying, often causing the spectacular scene of a pool of thunder to appear in an area.

This pool of thunder will continue to expand as the Thundering Hell Vine becomes stronger until it engulfs everything around it.

Therefore, it is basically impossible for other plants to survive around the Thundering Hell Vine.

"But success is due to thunder, and failure is also due to thunder." Jin Peng sighed and shook his head slightly with a sense of regret.

"The Thundering Hell Vine relies on absorbing the power of thunder to strengthen itself. When it reaches a certain level, the destructive thunder is compressed and its destructive power is extremely terrifying. It is possible for it to self-destruct at any time."

"But this one is different. You'll know what's going on. The fun is about to begin."

Jin Peng raised the corner of his mouth, put his hands behind his back, and looked into the distance at the horizon.

Jiang Jue said nothing, a flash of golden light flashed across his eyes, and his Eye of Destiny flickered wildly, telling him that this place was about to be punished by God.

"Isn't it tolerated by heaven and earth..."

Because soul beasts like the Thundering Hell Vine are too extreme and cause too much harm, they can't even control their own thunder in the end, so they will self-destruct in 20,000 to 30,000 years. There has never been a Thundering Hell Vine of the 100,000-year level.

This can also be considered a punishment from the plane's will.

Powerful, but not long-lasting.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Along with the roar of thunder, the dark clouds in the sky continued to condense and seemed to be sinking. Gusts of wind howled, and the surrounding air was filled with thunder elements.

The next moment, the dark clouds seemed like spilled ink, and pieces of dark purple thunder suddenly struck down. The breath of destruction was terrifying.

"Whoosh!"

"Teng!"

A bamboo-like vine shot up into the sky, reaching a height of dozens of meters, standing proudly like a purple bamboo. Its original dark purple color quickly changed to purple-gold in an instant, shining with the power of thunder.

Looking at the rolling thunder, he showed no fear.

There is a sense of arrogance as if I can withstand the thunder from the sky alone.

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of dull sounds were heard, and light lit up at the top of the 90,000-year-old Thundering Hell Vine. Strands of transparent silk threads sprang out and headed straight for the dark clouds in the sky.

It was actually actively provoking the terrifying thunder.

"boom!"

In the face of the provocation of the Thundering Hell Vine, an unprecedented loud roar sounded, and the world seemed to change color.

The sky suddenly became gloomier than ever before. The dark clouds spread rapidly, turning all the thunder into dark purple, almost black.

Dozens more bolts of lightning struck down fiercely, exploding loudly, and headed straight for the Thundering Hell Vine on the cliff.

The Thundering Hell Vine did not retreat but advanced, swaying its sturdy body to catch the falling thunders one by one.

Even the deflected lightning was caught by it at a strange angle.

Not a drop leaked.

"..."

The dark clouds in the sky paused for a moment and fell silent.

"This... is such a glutton."

Jiang Jue's mouth twitched. The Thundering Hell Vine was unwilling to waste even a drop of the thunder that countless soul beasts tried to avoid.

Immediately afterwards, dark clouds rolled and raged, countless thunders flashed continuously, and large flakes of lightning condensed into balls, crisscrossing in the air, like a terrifying thunder pool.

In an instant, a huge ball of lightning fell from the sky like a giant raindrop, and the surrounding air was distorted by the spread of purple electric arcs.
