Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor

“You may begin now. I will protect you,” Brigitte said.

"Wait!" Ye Qing called out, "Give me a few minutes!"

Ye Qing is currently in a demonic possession state, and the lightning attribute is not present in this state. To maximize the power of the Thunderous Hell Vine, he needs to transform into a divine descent state.

Under Bi Ji's watchful gaze, Ye Qing sat cross-legged on the ground, activating his ultimate talent to begin the transformation. His martial soul gradually changed from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to the Holy Radiant Heavenly God Tiger.

Sensing the extreme transformation of the two powers within Ye Qing, Bi Ji couldn't help but marvel inwardly at how one person could possess two completely opposing powers without any conflict.

He truly is a person who defies fate; he is indeed blessed with extraordinary talent.

Five minutes later, Ye Qing had completely transformed into his light form and nodded to Bi Ji, saying, "It's ready, you can start it now."

Biji looked at the Thunderous Hell Vine and showered her hands with rich life force, enveloping Ye Qing and the Thunderous Hell Vine.

"Just follow my guidance."

This was clearly directed at Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng. Soul beasts with less than 100,000 years of cultivation need to meet many conditions to voluntarily sacrifice themselves; not every soul beast is qualified to do so.

The vines of the Thunderous Hell Vine swayed slightly, and a large amount of electricity suddenly burst out from its body, all of which surged towards Ye Qing under its influence. At the same time, blue and white flames also ignited on its body.

The sacrifice is initiated!

A dazzling blue-purple beam of light shot into the sky, dispelling the thick clouds and allowing the long-awaited sunlight to shine into the valley.

Within the pillar of light, the body of the Thunderous Hell Vine gradually became ethereal, and finally disappeared completely under the burning flames, leaving only a vine behind. It flew to Ye Qing's back and stuck to his spine.

hum...

A massive black spirit ring slowly condensed above Ye Qing's head, with a diameter of three meters. The surface of the spirit ring was also engraved with faint blue and white electric current patterns.

As the sacrifice proceeded, the soul ring descended above Ye Qing's head, slowly contracting until it hovered above his chest, releasing a large amount of soul power that surged into his body.

Thanks to the opening of his hidden meridians, Ye Qing's physical strength was several times stronger than that of a normal soul master. Although the soul ring of the Thunderous Hell Vine caused him to throb with pain all over his body and the enormous soul power almost ruptured his meridians, he ultimately managed to withstand it.

It was teetering on the brink of collapse, but had not yet completely fallen.

With such immense soul power, even if Ye Qing possessed the ultimate attribute, it would be enough to cause his soul power level to skyrocket.

What delighted Ye Qing the most was the electric current flowing through his meridians. This was the unique thunderous power of the Thunderous Hell Vine. Although this thunderous power caused Ye Qing great pain, as if every inch of his meridians was being pierced by countless steel needles, it was constantly strengthening his meridians.

What pleased him even more was that the hidden meridians in his legs, which he had only opened up to one-fifth of, were opening up at an extremely fast speed.

The electric current, like a sharp cleaver, shattered all the blockages in Ye Qing's hidden meridians and expelled them from his body.

This was truly an unexpected delight.

After sensing the changes within his body, Ye Qing endured the excruciating pain that penetrated his very soul. Opportunities to rapidly open up hidden meridians like this were rare. If he were to do it himself, it would probably take him nearly two years to open up the remaining 90% of hidden meridians (only one leg had opened up to one-fifth, while the other leg remained completely untouched).

Days are like years.

This is how Ye Qing feels right now.

But the absorption of spirit rings always comes to an end. As the pain gradually subsided, this sacrifice was also coming to a close.

The massive black spirit ring completely disappeared into Ye Qing's body, and his aura surged rapidly at that moment.

Forty-one...

Forty-two...

It didn't stop until level 45!

The Thunderous Hell Vine's spirit ring not only broke through his bottleneck in becoming a Soul Master, but also helped him advance four levels, instantly completing half of his journey to the Soul Master stage!

The hidden meridians in his legs were also completely opened, saving him two years!

Chapter 80 Thunder Soul Bone, Eternal Spear

Having completely absorbed the spirit ring, Ye Qing suddenly opened his eyes, a golden current flashing deep within his pupils.

"what--"

A powerful aura erupted from him instantly, and Ye Qing, feeling extremely exhilarated, let out a roar that sounded like a tiger's howl.

Yellow, purple, black, black!

"Soul Sect!"

Cool!

"Congratulations, it seems you've made quite a haul," Brigitte said with a smile as she landed in the sky, offering her gentle congratulations.

"Thanks to you, Biji. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to obtain its power." Ye Qing retracted his martial spirit, turned to look at Biji, and his eyes were filled with sincerity and gratitude.

Regardless of what Bi Ji and the others were after, the fact remains that they helped him. Without Bi Ji, let alone whether Ye Qing could accurately find the Thunderous Hell Vine in the vast Star Dou Great Forest, even if he did find it, he probably wouldn't be able to kill it.

Although he had the confidence to kill a 70,000-year-old soul beast with his extreme speed, Ye Qing could only slink away when facing a super mage like Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng, who could unleash large-scale lightning strikes at any time.

Even among soul beasts that are 70,000 years old, there are differences.

Moreover, Ye Qing received more than just these benefits. In addition to raising his soul power level to level 45 and completely opening up the hidden meridians in his legs, Ye Qing also gained another treasure!

He reached behind him and gently clenched his hand against the spine. A bolt of white-gold lightning instantly flashed from the spine, landing on Ye Qing's palm and transforming into a spear over two meters long in an instant.

Thunderous Hell Vine External Soul Bone: Thunder Spear!

Following the Wings of Light external soul bone, Ye Qing obtained another external soul bone, and it was an extremely special weapon-type external soul bone.

Its entire body is woven from vines. Although it looks fragile and soft, it is actually as hard as metal. The handle is extremely smooth. The spearhead and the spear tail are the embodiment of the power of thunder. They have no fixed shape and change with the changes of lightning, but they are extremely sharp.

"Although the soul ring and soul bone of the Thunderous Hell Vine did not allow my lightning attribute to reach its limit, if the age of this Thunder Spear exceeds 100,000 years, I believe my lightning attribute will also break through the limit!" Ye Qing played with the Thunder Spear in his hand with great affection, and then twirled the spear.

As Ye Qing wielded the Thunder Spear, arcs of electricity exploded from it, blasting small craters into the ground around him.

Then, Ye Qing fixed his gaze on a huge rock in the distance and raised his right hand, which was gripping the Thunder Spear.

The next second, without Ye Qing making any move, the Thunder Spear instantly transformed into a golden lightning bolt that pierced the air and struck the boulder that Ye Qing had locked onto, blasting it into countless sand and gravel fragments!

Thunder Spear's unique skill: Lock-on!

Locking onto the target with mental power, hurling the Thunder Spear, and launching a fatal blow, the maximum power can be infused with all the soul power in the body, a desperate gamble that results in an extreme single-target output far exceeding the current cultivation level!

A boulder seven or eight meters in diameter and weighing tens of tons was shattered by Ye Qing's single spear thrust. If it were a Soul Master, even a Soul Saint could probably be killed with a single spear thrust.

The golden lightning flashed by and returned to Ye Qing's hand, reverting to its original form. However, the arcs of electricity swirling around the lightning spear had decreased by ninety percent. Even the spearhead and tail, formed from the power of lightning, had become somewhat illusory, and Ye Qing's face had turned pale.

Even Ye Qing was having trouble with the attack from the 70,000-year-old soul bone technique.

He's like a child who's got an RPG rocket. He can fire a terrifying rocket as soon as he pulls the trigger, but he'll also be thrown around like a tumbled gourd by the huge recoil.

The blow was enough to kill a Soul Saint, directly consuming one-third of his soul power.

But its power is extremely impressive!

“Lock on the target, go all in, and it’s the Thunder Spear, so you shall call yourself Eternity!” Ye Qing grinned and retracted Eternity into his spine.

In Norse mythology, Odin's spear Gungnir is a sure-hit spear; it doesn't even need Odin to throw it, as Gungnir is destined to hit the enemy it has already locked onto.

Furthermore, Gungnir was crafted from branches of the World Tree, while Ye Qing's Thunder Spear used the vines of the Thunder Hell Vine as its handle, and also possessed the effects of penetration and locking.

Using the name Gungnir directly doesn't quite fit Douluo Continent, but Gungnir also has the name Eternal Spear.

So let's call this Thunder Spear Eternal!

"You will surely break through all obstacles and nail the enemy to the bronze pillar of judgment!"

Next, under Brigitte's questioning gaze, Ye Qing took out a pickaxe and shovel and began mining.

"What are you doing?" Brigitte asked curiously, watching Ye Qing's actions.

Ye Qing smashed down with his pickaxe, unearthing a fist-sized piece of dark purple metal. He picked it up and gestured to Bi Ji, saying, "Here, this is it. It's called Yuan Magnetic Thunder Gold. Although it's useless to you soul beasts, in our human world, it's an extremely precious and rare metal. It's a good thing that money can't buy!"

Yuan Magnetic Thunder Gold is a type of ninth-order rare metal that can be used as the core array material for a ninth-level lightning-attribute soul tool. The official price of one gram of Yuan Magnetic Thunder Gold given by the Sun Moon Empire is five hundred gold soul coins, while the fist-sized Yuan Magnetic Thunder Gold in Ye Qing's hand weighs a full six kilograms!

In other words, Ye Qing unearthed three million gold soul coins with a single swing of his pickaxe. This was only the price in the Sun Moon Empire; such rare metals, which are hard to come by, would only fetch even higher prices on the black market.

People are willing to pay 600 or even 700 gold soul coins per gram!

The production of Yuan Magnetic Thunder Gold is extremely rare. Places like the Thunderous Hell Vine's habitat happen to meet the conditions for the formation of Yuan Magnetic Thunder Gold. Ye Qing has been eyeing these treasures for a long time!

Although he wasn't short of money, who would complain about having too much money? Especially when it was this kind of money-picking-up activity, practically a sack full of cash—it was incredibly profitable with no investment!

Even if Ye Qing doesn't sell it in the future, it would be great to use it for himself!

Bi Ji nodded thoughtfully, then extended her slender, jade-like finger and gently tapped it. A massive surge of soul power instantly emerged, digging out pieces of Yuan Magnetic Thunder Gold, which finally landed in front of Ye Qing.

Dang Dang Dang...

The sound of metal clashing rang out continuously. Ye Qing, holding an iron pickaxe, looked like a clown, expressionless as he watched the Yuan Magnetic Thunder Gold piled higher and higher in front of him.

Not long after, Brigitte withdrew her small hand, clapped it, and said with a smile, "Since these things are useful to you, then you can take them. All the Yuan Magnetic Thunder Gold in the valley is here."

Hmm... so much elemental magnetic lightning gold, it must weigh at least a ton, right?

One kilogram of Yuan Magnetic Thunder Gold costs three million Gold Soul Coins, so one ton would be... three billion?!

Upon seeing the pile of Yuan Magnetic Thunder Gold in front of him, Ye Qing's pupils instantly turned into the shape of coins.

Get rich!

Chapter 81 The Silver Dragon's Reverse Scale, Its Return

Good heavens, Ye Qing finally understood why the Sun Moon Empire was so wealthy. Even Xiao Hongchen could pull out hundreds of millions of gold soul coins. This wasn't just some metal block; it was all money!
