Douluo: Peerless Righteous Douluo

"What are you doing here?"

As the group approached, a sound that sounded like the electronic music in Lin Yi's memories of the other world rang out.

Caught off guard by what he heard, Lin Yi almost started dancing along.

He then discovered that it was the Thundering Hell Vine and quickly controlled his body.

"Is this a hundred thousand year old soul beast? It can actually speak!" Beibei's voice sounded with surprise and a bit of fear.

"The Thundering Hell Vine is a top-level plant-based soul beast. It is naturally intelligent. After surviving for so many years, it is not unusual for it to be able to speak."

Seeing these two human cubs talking to themselves, ignoring it, and even starting to discuss itself, how could Leiming Yanyu Teng tolerate it!

The vines moved slightly, and a stream of lightning shot out from below, heading straight towards Lin Yi and Bei Bei.

The lightning plasma failed to achieve its goal and was blocked by Moon's soul power shield.

Seeing that its own lightning plasma was easily blocked, the Thundering Hell Vine immediately became much more cautious, and the vines around its body retracted and protected the main trunk.

"Human, why are you here?"

"Hunting for spirit rings." Lin Yi's answers were always so direct and honest.

"Then why are you looking for me? My spirit ring is not suitable for you."

"What's wrong?" Lin Yi asked curiously.

"Among the three of you, only the blue-haired human cub has a thunder attribute aura, but he is too small to absorb my spirit ring."

Seeing that Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng could still remain calm and analyze the current situation under such circumstances, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart.

only……

"It's not him, it's me."

As if he didn't expect Lin Yi to say it was him, Lei Ming Yanyu Teng remained silent.

After all, this human cub looks smaller, and has no thunder attribute, not even a trace.

"You don't have the thunder attribute."

"It will be there after I absorb you."

The Thundering Hell Vine was even more speechless, but the gradually violent aura of thunder around it showed that it was ready for a fight to the death.

Lin Yi released the golden tree, attracting the attention of the Thundering Hell Vine.

"This is……"

"My martial soul, the Golden Tree, resonates with the core golden ancient tree of the plane. It is born with the ultimate light and ultimate life attributes. In order to strengthen the essence of my martial soul, I need your thunder power to help me break through that bottleneck and help me reach a higher level."

Unexpectedly, Thundering Hell Vine did not shout for war, but instead withdrew his own momentum, "You are actually the one chosen by the plane core."

"so?"

"I can become your spirit ring." Leiming Yanyu Teng's voice was calm.

"Can I ask why?" Lin Yi was caught off guard by Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng's calm words and was full of curiosity.

"Because you are the one chosen by the plane core."

"I know that. Can you be more specific?" Lin Yi looked helpless.

"Those chosen by the plane core naturally do things that benefit the plane. Since they benefit the plane, why should I be stingy with my life?"

Listening to Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng's words, Lin Yi and Bei Bei were filled with disbelief, and Moon's eyes were also full of disbelief.

What kind of creature would give up its own life for such a reason?

"You really don't have any bad intentions?" Lin Yi asked directly, "Don't you have any other thoughts? I feel a little uneasy when you are like this..."

"Do you know my clan?"

"The Thundering Hell Vine, the bloodline of the Thunder God, a top-level plant soul beast, naturally knows."

"Since you know this, you should also know that few of my clan can live beyond 50,000 years."

"Yes, because it absorbs thunder and compresses all of it within its body. Thunder itself is extremely powerful, and after compression, its destructive power is extremely terrifying. It may self-destruct at any time."

Thundering Hell Vine chuckled softly, "You know a lot. It's just as you said. As for me, I'm already 45,000 years old. I don't know when I'll die. Rather than die in obscurity, I'd rather use this remaining body to contribute to this dimension."

There was a hint of reluctance in Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng's voice, but more of it was free and easy.

"Don't you think it's a pity to leave just because of your race?"

Hearing Lin Yi's question, Leiming Yanyu Teng did not answer directly, but asked: "Do you know how the thunder waterfall here is formed?"

Lin Yi shook his head.

"This place was created by the corpses of our clan."

"Perhaps tens of thousands of years ago, or even longer, there were dozens of Thundering Hell Vines growing here. Some died in the early stages because they couldn't attract the heavenly thunder, while others destroyed themselves while actively attracting the thunder. In the end, only nine Thundering Hell Vines remained, all ten-thousand-year-old."

"Have you ever seen nine Thundering Hell Vines pulling thunderbolts together?"

Lin Yi imagined the scene, wondering how shocking it would be, but when he heard the question, he could only shake his head.

"The ten thousand year old Thunder Hell Vine can alter the celestial phenomena. When nine vines pull thunder together, it creates the thunder waterfall you see now. Because of this uninterrupted pulling for who knows how long, the celestial phenomena here have become completely solidified. Even without the pulling thunder, endless thunder would still fall."

Lin Yi's eyes were full of shock. It was truly amazing that the thunder had been continuously drawn here for hundreds or even thousands of years, making the celestial phenomena here constant.

"If there are nine, why do you have only one now? Where are the other eight?"

"To be precise, it should be those nine plants."

"Jiuzhu? You're not telling your own story?"

"No, my clan says it's 50,000 years, but we who actively draw in the lightning to absorb it only need half that time, or even 10,000 years, to grow to 50,000 years. After that, we will inevitably face destruction. So, those nine plants are all dead."

The sound of the Thundering Hell Vine was very plain, but Lin Yi seemed to hear the sound of something breaking in it.

"So you are?"

"Perhaps the seeds they left behind have taken root and sprouted. I only learned about them from the inherited memories. Thanks to the environment here, I have reached the current 45,000-year realm in just 3,000 years. Among the people in the inherited memories, I am the fastest."

"Then why can't we not absorb the thunder or absorb it more slowly?" Beibei suddenly asked.

"The Thundering Hell Vine has its own pride. We were born in thunder and will die in thunder. Thunder will prove that we once existed."

Chapter 42 Soul Master Lin Yi

Understanding Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng's determination, Bei Bei said nothing more.

Lin Yi suddenly said from the side: "Are you willing to let it end like this?"

After a moment of silence, Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng said, "Of course I'm unwilling, but what can I do?"

"I have a way that may help you live another life."

The Thundering Hell Vine suddenly shook, and lightning splattered beneath it. "What's the solution?"

"Become my spirit ring."

"I already agreed to become your spirit ring. You don't need to lie to me."

Obviously, Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng thought that what Lin Yi meant by living another life was to hand over his own power to Lin Yi and let Lin Yi move on with this power, which could be regarded as an alternative way of living another life.

Lin Yi shook his head. "I didn't lie to you. Although you have become my spirit ring, your spiritual intelligence is still there. If there is an opportunity in the future, or if I become a god and resurrect you, you can live another life."

"Becoming a spirit ring and retaining consciousness? That's impossible."

Facing Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng's questioning, Lin Yi did not say much. He directly called out Lin Tong and Lin Yao and let the facts speak for themselves.

Looking at the sudden appearance of the spirits of the Blue Silver King and the Starry Unicorn, the Thundering Hell Vine was greatly shocked. The vines waved unconsciously, stirring up waves of lightning.

"how did you do that?"

"Actually, I don't know the details. It might be because they voluntarily merged with me, so their souls attached to the spirit ring, and then I used the bloodline between the same race to awaken their souls."

Beibei suddenly interjected, "Blood connection between the same clan? But isn't he the only one left in the Thundering Hell Vine?"

“At that time, my cultivation was still weak, and I could only rely on the blood of my own clan, but with my current mental strength, it is enough to protect my spirit body when fusing the spirit ring.

"Okay." The voice of Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng suddenly sounded.

"Son of the Planes, I hope you can really let me live another life."

"I'm not afraid of death, I just want to know if my clan can break through this so-called fate!"

Lin Yi said seriously, "I'm also looking forward to seeing just how powerful the Thundering Hell Vine can be."

Thundering Hell Vine suddenly said, "Your body should be able to withstand my power, right?"

"I'm not sure. I originally wanted to merge under the ancient golden tree to provide an extra layer of protection."

"That's not necessary now. If I want my soul to merge with yours, I can only do it through sacrifice."

Before Lin Yi could react, Moon suddenly started coughing uncontrollably.

"Master, are you okay?"

"Cough cough cough... It's nothing, it's just that the injury inside me... cough cough... suddenly got affected... cough cough cough..."

Moon slowed down and finally managed to even out his breathing. "It's okay, you guys continue, don't worry about me."

He couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. Sacrifice, another sacrifice. Even though the Star Unicorn's fusion method was special, this was the second sacrifice. Together with the third soul ring, Lin Yi only had three soul rings in total.

Thundering Hell Vine said, "Son of the Plane, please withdraw from this thunder waterfall first."

"What's wrong?"

"Since I want to sacrifice myself to you, I want to test what the limit of my ability is."

Lin Yi seemed to think of something when he heard this, "Do you want to..."

"I'm stronger, so the benefits you can get should be greater."

"Having said that, but..."

Lin Yi now understood that the Thundering Hell Vine was determined to transform himself into a spirit ring, so he wanted to try his best to absorb the thunder at the last moment to see how far he could reach before he died, and whether he could break the Thundering Hell Vine's fate of being unable to break through for 50,000 years!

First of all, to fulfill a wish and see my own limits.

Secondly, the Thundering Hell Vine is about to be sacrificed, and its life will come to an end anyway, so it is better to give it a try. By then, the stronger the Thundering Hell Vine becomes, the more benefits Lin Yi will get.

After understanding Leiming Yanyu Teng's determination, Lin Yi had no choice but to respect his will.

So, under Moon's escort, the three of them left Leipu.

After the three people left, the Thundering Hell Vine was surrounded by lightning, and the lightning liquid under it quickly decreased and was completely absorbed by the Thundering Hell Vine.

In the thunder waterfall, the dense thunder seemed to be boiling, and the area of ​​the entire thunder waterfall began to expand, forcing Moon to retreat again and again with Lin Yi and Bei Bei.

With a loud bang, the thunder waterfall suddenly exploded, and thunder scattered all over the sky. Indistinctly, a vine could be seen stretching freely, emitting a powerful aura.

There seemed to be a suction force coming from the vines, absorbing all the thunder around it. The thunder kept disappearing and kept filling in from all around.

After a while, the replenishment speed of thunder could not keep up with the absorption speed, and blank areas began to appear around the Thundering Hell Vine.

As it absorbed thunder so quickly, the body of the Thundering Hell Vine unknowingly turned completely blue-purple, as if it was made of thunder infused in the sky.

Feeling that the absorption speed was slowing down, the vines seemed unhappy and stretched out again, allowing themselves to cover a larger area, and then there was blankness again.

This went on and on, and the blank area around the Thundering Hell Vine became larger and larger, and its body became larger and larger as it absorbed thunder.

An hour later, the winding vines of the Thundering Hell Vine had grown to be larger than the entire Thunder Waterfall. The vines rolled back and completely wrapped up the Thunder Waterfall. At this time, the body of the Thundering Hell Vine looked like it was carved from blue-purple crystal. Even if you just looked at it from a distance, you could feel the endless thunder flowing under the vines, which was compressed and exuded a terrifying breath of destruction.

The sky in the Thunder Valley changed drastically at this time. Although it was still covered with dark clouds, the thunder that had been falling all the time had suddenly stopped without anyone noticing.

This scene was naturally noticed by the soul beasts in the Thunder Valley. As well as the terrifying aura of destruction emanating from the center of the valley, the soul beasts, driven by the instinct for survival, all fled out of the valley.

Fortunately, there is no town nearby, otherwise, a beast tide would be inevitable.

The aura of the Thundering Hell Vine had already broken through the 50,000-year mark at some point.

The fate of the Thundering Hell Vine was completely broken!

The first Thundering Hell Vine over 50,000 years old in the history of Douluo Continent was born!

Lin Yi and the others seemed to hear an angry roar, and the Thundering Hell Vine rolled up again, actually absorbing all the thunder in the sky into its body. There was no trace of thunder in the Thunder Valley.

Even though the dark clouds in the sky were still rumbling with thunder, during these hundred breaths, the Thunder Valley completely became a thunder-free area.

But the price was that the vines of the Thundering Hell Vine seemed to be about to explode, and endless lightning flashed from its body, as if the next moment, the Thundering Hell Vine would self-destruct.

"get ready."
