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

Chapter 69 Five Thunders Gather, Divine Artifacts Return to Their Place, Crimson Thunder Drum!
After leaving the inner city.

Sikong Zhen did not go straight back to the hotel, but instead found a quiet place and carefully examined the small drum in his hand.

This small drum may seem ordinary, but it has no place in Sikong Zhen's perception.

It contains a mysterious power.

"The power of thunder? It seems a little different, but it's definitely related to the lightning attribute!"

Sikong Zhen narrowed his eyes.

He could sense that there was a certain connection between his Five Thunder Drum Martial Soul and this small drum, a very subtle connection!

as if……

The two are originally from the same source, and are even one entity!

"Could it be... a fragment of the Five Thunder Drum, or perhaps the original?" Sikong Zhen's heart stirred, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

But then he frowned.

"The Five Thunder Drum is a divine artifact from the King's Continent. If it is truly as I suspect, how did it come to be in this world?"

And this small drum, if it really is related to the Five Thunder Drum.

There are many more things to consider.
The Five Thunder Drum is an ancient divine artifact, said to possess the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, and even threaten the Emperor Jun mentioned by Haiyue.

If the Five Thunder Drums can be fully activated, it will surely unleash astonishing power.

Think of this.

Sikong Zhen couldn't help but feel a little excited.

He immediately put the small drum away, intending to study it more carefully when he got back.

……

When we returned to the hotel,
The members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team had almost finished resting. When Yu Tianheng and the others saw Sikong Zhen return, they all surrounded him.

"Boss, where did you go? We were just about to come looking for you."

Yu Feng said with a grin.

Sikong Zhen smiled faintly: "I went out for a stroll to learn about the situation in Wuhun City."

Dugu Yan blinked and asked curiously, "Captain, have you encountered anything interesting?"

Sikong Zhen shook his head: "Nothing special, just bought a little gadget."

As he spoke, he took out the small drum and showed it to everyone.

Everyone only glanced at it twice.

Sikong Zhen immediately understood that none of them knew about this small drum. While he was somewhat disappointed, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

By instinct.

Sikong Zhen did not want others to know about the Five Thunder Drums or its origin.

Although Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and the others were somewhat curious about the small drum, they didn't ask any further questions.

"Alright, everyone, get some rest. Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the finals," Sikong Zhen said in a deep voice, putting away his small drum.

Everyone nodded and went back to their rooms to rest.

……

After returning to the room.

Sikong Zhen closed the door, and with a flick of his finger, a lightning barrier instantly enveloped the entire room, blocking all outside prying eyes.

He sat cross-legged, holding the simple, ancient drum in his palm.

The Five Thunder Drum Martial Spirit slowly emerged behind him, with blue-purple thunder patterns flowing across the drum surface, and a faint electric current sound permeating the air.

"Om-"

When this simple, ancient drum was less than three feet away from the Five Thunder Drum Martial Spirit.

The small drum suddenly moved on its own without any wind, and the mottled rust on its surface peeled off, revealing the gilded thundercloud patterns inside.

Sikong Zhen's pupils shrank suddenly. He saw that one of the Thunder Drums of his Martial Soul was vibrating uncontrollably and producing a ripple.

"boom!"

A deafening clap of thunder shook the entire hotel.

The small drum transformed into a streak of crimson light and instantly disappeared into the Five Thunder Drum Martial Soul.

In an instant.

Five bolts of lightning, each a different color, shot into the sky from the drumhead—blue, red, yellow, white, and black—the five colors of lightning intertwining into a net.

The violent energy caused the furniture in the room to shatter and the porcelain to turn to dust!
then,

The five-colored lightning bolts converged again, transforming into normal blue lightning, but their power surged dramatically!

Sikong Zhen's soul power surged to a boiling point. Ancient lightning patterns appeared on his skin, and his meridians seemed to be tempered by lightning, with every inch of his flesh undergoing a transformation.

His consciousness was pulled into a chaotic space, where countless fragments of memories surged in like a tide.

He witnessed Thor's fall.

Above the vast sea of ​​clouds, a colossal bronze drum, obscuring the sky, floats in the heavens, its surface imprinted with the essence of five divine thunderbolts.

however,
A giant, scarred hand tore through the void, ripping the drumhead into five pieces.

These five pieces transformed into five small drums.

That is, the Five Thunderclaps!
Each thunder drum contains a kind of thunder origin, with green, red, yellow, white and black representing one of the five elements of thunder.

When all five thunderbolts converge, it is the moment when the Five Thunderbolts Drum truly awakens!

"I see."

Sikong Zhen suddenly opened his eyes, lightning surging within them. "This Five Thunder Drum is actually the legendary divine artifact that is the companion of the Thunder God!"

In his previous life on the King's Continent, he said he activated the divine artifact, the Five Thunder Drum.

But Sikong Zhen himself knew that the so-called activation was more like obtaining the initial right to use it.

The fact that the Five Thunder Drum alone could threaten Di Jun, yet he was still inferior to a priest even with the power of the Five Thunder Drum, speaks volumes.

The true power of the Five Thunder Drums far surpasses that of clergy.

In other words.

Neither Sikong Zhen nor Haiyue truly awakened the power of the divine artifact.

Those fragments of memory showed him the possibility of truly awakening the power of the Five Thunder Drums—gathering the essence of the Five Thunders!
Five thunderbolts gather, and the divine artifact returns to its rightful place.

Now, having obtained a small drum imbued with the essence of Crimson Thunder, the Five Thunder Drum Martial Soul has undergone unimaginable changes.

The martial spirit floating in front of him had changed drastically.

One of the thunder drums, which was originally thin, is now more than three times thicker, with streaks of crimson lightning wrapped around its rings.

Like a crimson thunder dragon, it emitted terrifying energy!

"Just by fusing with one Thunder Drum, its power has doubled?"

Sikong Zhen clenched his fist, and as his soul power surged, a wisp of crimson lightning appeared in his palm, its destructive power far exceeding that of his previous lightning.

Then, Sikong Zhen had a change of heart.

The power of the five thunderbolts converged into normal blue lightning, and its power increased dramatically!

Sikong Zhen's physical body also underwent a transformation just now.

A complete transformation!

This greatly enhanced his strength.

Not only that.

The dark red drum did not disappear; instead, it became incredibly mystical, surrounded by crimson lightning.

"Boom!"

The dark red drum hovered in front of Sikong Zhen, causing the thunderclouds in the sky to churn.

"I see……"

Sikong Zhen's lips curled up slightly, "As long as the five small drums are collected and their origins are fused together, they can be transformed into a true divine artifact!"

He slowly rose, his gaze passing through the window to the thunderclouds in the sky.

Sudden.

Sikong Zhen felt something.

The thunderclouds in the sky were brewing thunder, as if they were about to unleash a calamity.

Lightning surged in Sikong Zhen's eyes, and his figure transformed into a bolt of lightning, instantly breaking through the roof.

The moment he left, the entire hotel was struck by a crimson bolt of lightning, and its high-quality roof exploded.

"boom--"

In the pitch-black night sky, thunderclouds rolled, and crimson lightning intertwined within the clouds.

Sikong Zhen stood in mid-air, the Five Thunder Drum Martial Soul appearing behind him, and the newly fused dark red drum trembled violently.

It even resonated with the thunderclouds in the sky!

The concept of the Five Thunder Drums was inspired by mythology.

The background story of the King's Continent is partly based on mythology and legends, but the Five Thunder Drums are not described in detail, leaving the author to fill in the gaps in the setting.
