Douluo Continent: Five Thunders Shake the Drums, I am the Thunder Emperor!

Chapter 102 The Azure Thunder Drum of Wood, the Thunderous Yama Vine of Ten Thousand Years!

Dawn the next day.

Sikong Zhen left Sucheng alone and headed west in search of the second Five Thunder Drum.

Heading northwest, sensing the location of the second Five Thunder Drum, the terrain gradually rises and the air becomes thinner.

……

A dozen days later, Sikong Zhen stood on a majestic plateau.

in front of you,

It is a vast and boundless ancient forest.

Towering ancient trees block out the sun, and thick vines coil around the trunks like writhing dragons, filling the air with a rich vitality.

However, a thunderous aura still lingered in the air.

"This is it."

Sikong Zhen held the Crimson Thunder Drum in his hand, and crimson lightning pulsed in his palm.

These lightning bolts acted like a compass, always pointing to a certain direction deep within the forest, while the Five Thunder Drum Martial Soul resonated even more strongly.

next moment.

Lei Yao's Mind Eye was operating at full capacity.

Countless intricate lightning elemental traces suddenly appeared in their field of vision—the entire forest of plants contained astonishing lightning power.

The moment Sikong Zhen stepped into the forest, he felt an unusual sense of oppression.

The roots of those towering ancient trees, deeply embedded in the earth, were slowly absorbing his released soul power.

The most bizarre thing was the vines wrapped around the tree trunk, with lightning flowing across their surface, flashing on and off rhythmically like breathing.

"This thunder"

Sikong Zhen lightly touched a vine with his fingertip and immediately felt a surge of thunderous energy.

These plants, having been struck by lightning for a long time, have undergone some kind of mutation, and many of them have evolved into plant-type soul beasts.

Think for a moment.

He enveloped his entire body in the power of the Crimson Thunder Drum, resisting the forest's repulsion.

As they ventured deeper, the environment became increasingly dangerous.

Electric thorns would occasionally sprout from the ground, and vines hanging from the tree canopy would suddenly launch attacks, but luckily I had 'Thunder Insight' to detect them in advance.

Sikong Zhen became wary, walking even lighter and almost completely concealing his aura.

at last,

He arrived at an open space.

In the center of the open space stood an ancient altar.

The altar was entirely dark blue-black, its surface engraved with mysterious thunder patterns. On either side of the altar stood a small drum, black with a hint of green, and an ancient-looking bell.

"Azure Thunder Drum!"

Sikong Zhen's gaze sharpened as he stared at the small drum, his heart beating slightly faster.

He could clearly sense that the small black-green drum shared the same origin as the Crimson Thunder Drum and the Five Thunderclap Drum Martial Soul.

Yet it contains a completely different power—vitality, growth, and thunder breaking through the soil!
however,
Just as he was about to step forward, he felt a terrifying pressure!

"boom--"

The ground trembled, the vines around the altar writhed wildly, and a huge vine-like soul beast slowly awakened, its power terrifying!
Its trunk is as thick as a palace pillar.

Its surface is covered with bluish-purple lightning patterns, and each vine is wrapped with fine electric arcs.

The most terrifying thing is that when it fully unfolds, the lightning element in the entire forest begins to surge, as if it can dominate the thunder.

It also caused dark clouds to gather high in the sky, and the sound of thunder could be faintly heard!
"This is."

"A hundred thousand-year-old Thunderous Hell Vine!" Sikong Zhen's pupils shrank slightly, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

Sikong Zhen had read ancient books about soul beasts, including one about the Thunderous Hell Vine, which was capable of absorbing heavenly lightning!
and.

According to records, the Thunderous Hell Vine normally grows to a maximum of 50,000 years.

Although it is unknown how this 100,000-year-old Thunderous Hell Vine grew to this extent, it is definitely stronger than an ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast.

He is far stronger than an ordinary Title Douluo!
He has absolutely no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation!

"We can't force it..."

Sikong Zhen's eyes darkened, and he made a decision instantly.

"Second Soul Skill - Thunder Shadow Flash!"

"Shh!"

His figure suddenly transformed into a bolt of lightning, moving at incredible speed, reaching the altar in the blink of an eye and grabbing at the Azure Thunder Drum! "You're courting death—!"

Enraged, the Thunderous Hell Vine unleashed a furious barrage of countless vines that lashed out like lightning snakes. At the same time, dark clouds churned in the sky, and a thick bolt of lightning crashed down!

Summon heavenly thunder to fight the enemy, and ten thousand thunderbolts will descend from the sky!

"So strong!"

Sikong Zhen was prepared, but he was still startled by the commotion.

Fortunately, he acted quickly enough.

The moment he touched the Azure Thunder Drum, he immediately stored it in his storage soul tool, and at the same time, his figure transformed into a lightning shadow once again, retreating rapidly out of the forest!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The vines fell, and the ground cracked.

The lightning struck the spot where he had been standing, blasting a crater several meters deep!
"hiss--"

A vine grazed his shoulder, instantly tearing his robe and leaving a charred scar.

Sikong Zhen grunted, but did not stop at all. He fully activated his soul power and used the soul skill Thunder Shadow Flash in succession.

“Boom—”

A bolt of purplish-black lightning tore through the sky and struck straight at Sikong Zhen's back.

The destructive power contained within the lightning caused the surrounding air to distort and explode, requiring even a Title Douluo to deal with it with caution.

next moment.

Sikong Zhen suddenly turned around.

The Crimson Thunder Drum spun rapidly in front of his chest, its surface flashing crimson thunder patterns wildly.

"Crimson Lightning Shield!"

The crimson lightning instantly condensed into a shield, but it was cracked the moment it came into contact with the heavenly lightning.

Sikong Zhen let out a muffled groan, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Even more terrifying, dozens of electrified vines had surrounded them from all directions, each tipped with a dazzling ball of lightning.

"It seems we have to fight!"

Lightning surged in Sikong Zhen's eyes, and his Five Thunder Drum Martial Soul erupted with full force.

The phantom of the Five Thunder Drums appeared behind him, the Crimson Thunder Drum flew into the center of his Martial Soul automatically, and the newly acquired Azure Thunder Drum also responded with a buzzing sound.

"Five Thunder Resonance!"

With a loud shout, Sikong Zhen's soul power surged wildly within his body.

Two streaks of lightning, one red and one blue, burst forth from the twin drums.

The first three vines to attack collided with the Crimson Lightning and Azure Lightning, and were instantly torn to pieces.

But more vines followed one after another, and the thunder in the sky became more and more intense, with thunder rumbling down.

"boom!"

Another bolt of lightning struck, this time hitting Sikong Zhen directly in the left shoulder.

Surprisingly, the expected severe damage did not occur.

The lightning bolt was forcibly absorbed by the Five Thunder Drum Martial Soul, the Crimson Thunder Drum, and the Azure Thunder Drum the moment it touched the body.

The ancient thunder patterns on the drum surface lit up one by one, emitting a thirsty buzzing sound.

"This is."

Sikong Zhen was stunned at first, then overjoyed.

He recalled fragments of his memory about the Five Thunder Drum, which was originally a divine artifact of the Thunder God, naturally possessing the ability to absorb thunder!
"Well done!"

Sikong Zhen simply stopped and opened his arms to face the thunderbolts.

The Crimson Thunder Drum and the Azure Thunder Drum spun rapidly within the Martial Soul, forming a peculiar electromagnetic field.

The next bolt of lightning, drawn by this magnetic field, was devoured by the two drums like rivers flowing into the sea, and completely absorbed.

"The little drum belongs to the Lord!"

"Human, you cannot afford the price of angering Thor!"

The Thunderous Hell Vine, which had been around for 100,000 years, let out an angry roar.

The lightning element in the entire forest converged wildly, forming a thundercloud vortex with a diameter of over 100 meters above its head.

At the center of the vortex, a purple lightning bolt as thick as a water vat slowly took shape—

This is a destructive lightning bolt comparable to a heavenly tribulation!
