Chapter 121 Life and Destruction
The villain transformed from the remnant soul looked into the Thunder Valley and saw a purple vine as thick as a bucket, with its body divided into sections like bamboos, climbing up the mountain wall. Thunder struck it one after another.
The violent thunder power did not break the vine soul beast into pieces, but turned into countless electric arcs that danced and danced on the surface of the vines.
Thunder comes and goes quickly.
After half a quarter of an hour, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed and the thunder disappeared, leaving behind a messy and scorched valley below.
There are fewer and fewer electric arcs traveling on the surface of the thick purple vine, but its aura has become stronger, as if it has absorbed the power of thunder.
Seeing this scene, the Remnant Soul villain suddenly realized that the appearance and characteristics of this soul beast seemed to have been seen in the soul beast books collected by Yu Xiaogang in the past - the details of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger were also Saw it from that book.
Gu Yi's mind quickly flashed with information about this soul beast: "This plant soul beast seems to be called...Thunder Hell Vine!"
Thunder Hell Vine, known as the true number one in the plant world The Destroyer is rumored to be the legacy of the bloodline left behind after the death of the God of Thunder.
This type of soul beast has been at the top of the plant-type soul beasts since its birth.
The place where it grows must be in a place with dense thunder and lightning.
The cultivation method of the Thunder Hell Vine is very different from that of other soul beasts. It cannot normally absorb the energy of the world and grow.
It can only develop when it rains and thunders.
Every time it is struck by lightning, the Thunder Hell Vine can absorb the power of thunder and make its own cultivation stronger.
The cultivation level improved by one hundred lightning strikes is equivalent to one year of training for an ordinary soul beast.
When the Thunder Hell Vine's cultivation reaches a hundred years, it can actively attract the thunder from the sky during thunderstorms and let the thunder bombard itself, which will greatly increase the speed of cultivation.
When the cultivation reaches ten thousand years, the Thundering Hell Vine will be enough to change the celestial phenomena, causing thunder to come to the world, and control the power of thunder to destroy everything in the outside world.
Therefore, most of the thundering hell vines appear in deep mountains and old forests, and no soul beast dares to survive around them.
However, as the cultivation level increases, the thunder energy in the Thunder Hell Vine accumulates more and more, and after being compressed, it becomes extremely violent.
When they cannot control the thunder energy in their bodies, energy riots will occur and they will explode with a bang.
Generally speaking, when the Thunder Hell Vine reaches about 20,000 to 50,000 years of cultivation, it will self-destruct and die.
It is rare to be able to cultivate the Thunder Hell Vine for more than 50,000 years.
Gu Yi observed the Thundering Hell Vine in the valley. Its cultivation level is about 35,000 years, and it emits destructive waves from time to time.
Obviously the thunder power in its body can no longer be suppressed.
In a few years, this Thundering Hell Vine will explode and die.
"It's really a strange soul beast." Gu Yi sighed with emotion. With his current eyesight, he could naturally see the state of the Thunder Hell Vine.
“In order not to explode and die, we constantly use our own life energy to resist and balance the thunder energy that contains the power of destruction.”
As a plant soul beast, the same thing is true in the Thunder Hell Vine. Contains strong life energy.
And because it has to resist the thunder energy that contains the power of destruction day and night, the life energy of the Thunder Hell Vine is very pure.
It is a pity that the Thunder Hell Vine is not the Blue Silver Emperor. It cannot draw the power of life from other plants. Its own vitality has its limit.
When the life energy cannot balance the thunder energy and the power of destruction exceeds the power of life, it will die.
Life and destruction... Gu Yi's eyes flashed, and his heart was slightly moved.
"Should I use this soul beast as the eighth soul ring..." Gu Yi pondered in his heart.
On the Douluo Continent, there are only two soul beasts that are related to life and have a life of one hundred thousand years or more that Gu Yi knows about.
One is the Blue Silver Emperor of the Sun and Moon Continent, and the other is the fourth-ranked ferocious beast, the Emerald Swan ‘Bijie’.
But the latter's soul skills were not suitable for Gu Yi.
There must be many hundred thousand year soul beasts in the sea, and among them there may be some soul beasts with strong vitality and good at life soul skills.
It’s just that the sea is vast, bigger than the Star Dou Forest or even the Douluo Continent. It’s too time-consuming to find a suitable soul beast.
The Thundering Hell Vine in front of me is actually an excellent choice.
Thunder has a powerful power of destruction, but it also has the power of creation.
There is life in destruction, which is a major factor in the origin of life.
The Thundering Hell Vine in front of us is itself a miracle of life, a product of the coexistence of life and destruction, which verifies this characteristic of thunder energy.
If he absorbs the soul ring of the Thunder Hell Vine and understands the mystery within it, he might be able to deepen Gu Yi's attainment in the way of life and reach the level of artistic conception.
Even Gu Yi may have some insights into the way of thunder and destruction...
Thinking of this, Gu Yi's heart was moved, and he felt that the Thunder Hell Vine was indeed suitable as a blood martial spirit. Soul ring.
As for the thirty-five thousand years of cultivation of the Thunder Hell Vine, Gu Yi didn't care.
Compared to the mystery of the law, this level of cultivation is not worth mentioning.
Besides, the worst case scenario is like dealing with the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor, first improve the cultivation level of the Thunder Hell Vine, and then hunt and absorb the soul ring.
Condensation!
Gu Yi's soul uses the remnant soul magic, and all the remnant souls return to the body.
He opened his eyes and flew towards the valley where the Thundering Hell Vine was.
A bloody light passed by, descending on the scorched valley, and landed less than a hundred meters away from the Thundering Hell Vine.
For the intruder Gu Yi, Thunder Hell Vine reacted immediately, and its soul power surged out.
In an instant, countless thunder and lightning filled the valley, turning it into a sea of thunder and lightning, striking towards Guyi crazily.
Thunder Hell!
Gu Yi looked calm and did not use his true energy to resist, letting the thunder strike on his body.
He walked in the ocean of thunder, walking step by step towards the Thundering Hell Vine.
Seeing Gu Yi's appearance, the Thunder Hell Vine, whose wisdom was not weaker than that of humans, suddenly began to sway, and a panic emerged.
You must know that as a top plant spirit beast, it is known as the first destroyer. With its more than 30,000 years of cultivation, the power of thunder it releases can defeat even a hundred thousand year old spirit beast. The ferocious beast didn't dare to bear it so hard.
Not only does thunder contain powerful destructive power, its destructive power is astonishing, and flesh and blood cannot stop it.
Moreover, the ferocious beasts are threatened by the catastrophe, and they are deeply afraid that the thunder power of the Thunder Hell Vine will trigger the catastrophe in advance.
But the human soul master in front of him obviously exceeded the understanding of the Thunder Hell Vine.
In order to prevent Gu Yi from approaching, the Thunder Hell Vine used all its strength, mobilized its soul power to release various thunder soul skills, turned the thunder into liquid thunder slurry, and condensed each thunder ball, which increased its power to a higher level. It even caused the thunder from the sky to come down again.
But there is still no way, not even Gu Yi's skin can be broken.
Gu Yi has already arrived in front of Thunder Hell Vine.
Gu Yi pondered for a moment and took out several fourth-grade high-level Shengyuan Dan and other elixirs from Najie.
——The Shengyuan Pill is an elixir refined by Gu Yi using the body of the Blue Silver King. It contains majestic life energy and can enhance the life source of the Thunder Hell Vine.
With enough life source, the Thunder Hell Vine can continue to suppress the violent thunder energy in the body.
In this way, it can exceed the limit of fifty thousand years and reach a higher level of cultivation without self-destruction.
Gu Yi did not want the Thunder Hell Vine to die before it reached one hundred thousand years. Regardless of whether Thunder Hell Vine wanted it or not, Gu Yi forced the Shengyuan Pill into his body, and then used strange fire to help it digest the medicine.
In addition, Gu Yi also arranged a formation in the valley that could induce the energy of heaven and earth and condense thunder, and used thunder to continuously attack the Thunder Hell Vine.
Thunder Hell Vine doesn't know what Gu Yi's purpose is, but it is also good for it to be able to break through in cultivation.
As its cultivation level increases, its combat effectiveness will be higher, and it will have a chance to kill or expel this human soul master.
If it really can't be defeated, at worst it will actively activate the power of thunder in its body to explode itself, which will definitely not make things easier for the human soul master!
Therefore, the Thunder Hell Vine cooperated very well throughout the whole process, constantly absorbing the power of the elixir and the thunder.
Seeing this, Gu Yi nodded slightly.
He also saw the little thoughts of Thunder Hell Vine, but Gu Yi was not panicked at all.
Self-explosion? That also requires the Thunder Hell Vine to be activated.
Gu Yi's soul power is always paying attention to the internal situation of the Thunder Hell Vine.
Once the Thunder Hell Vine makes a move, Gu Yi can detect it immediately and kill it.
Unlike the three 90,000-year-old Giant Ant Emperors, they are not far away from 100,000 years, so it only took a while to upgrade them to 100,000 years.
The Thunder Hell Vine has only a cultivation level of thirty-five thousand years, and during the process of improving its cultivation level, Gu Yi must always pay attention to the balance of life energy and destructive power in its body to prevent it from self-destructing.
Energy cannot be simply and crudely forced into it.
This causes the Thunder Hell Vine to absorb energy far less quickly than the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor.
Therefore, this time the catalysis took a long time, taking two days.
During this process, Guyi's soul power always enveloped the Thunder Hell Vine and the valley, observing the movement of the soul power in its body and the thunder wandering around it.
Quietly comprehend the mystery of thunder, the destructive power contained in it, and the glimmer of life hidden in the depths...
Finally, wait for the sun to rise from the east the next day. Since then, the Thunder Hell Vine’s cultivation has finally reached a hundred thousand years!
This is something that has never happened since Douluo Star was born!
Because after the Thunder Hell Vine has been cultivated to the 100,000-year level, it is likely to truly revive the bloodline of the God of Thunder.
It is not even like other ferocious beasts that are worried about the threat of catastrophe. It can continue to grow, and it is 100% possible to reach a million-year cultivation level, or even reach the god level.
So the God Realm will never allow them to ascend to one hundred thousand years.
But now, due to Gu Yi's intervention, the Thunder Hell Vine has reached a hundred thousand years of cultivation, and the Thunder God bloodline in its body has been activated.
The appearance of the Thunder Hell Vine has changed from purple to purple gold. The quality of the thunder it releases has been improved again, and its destructive power is even more astonishing.
The Thunder Hell Vine noticed the changes in itself, and was overjoyed. It quickly mobilized the power of thunder in its body to attack Gu Yi.
Thunder and Electric Dance!
A series of highly concentrated thunderballs turned into afterimages, appeared in front of Gu Yi in an instant, and bombarded him fiercely.
Powerful energy burst out, and Gu Yi's body shook.
Thunder Hell Vine’s current power of thunder can actually leave some black marks on Gu Yi’s body!
"You are worthy of being a top-notch soul beast. It is also a hundred thousand years old, and you are more powerful than the Qianjun Ant Emperor." Gu Yi sighed in admiration and walked out from the sky filled with thunder.
He stepped directly in front of the Thunder Hell Vine and uprooted it.
"One hundred thousand years of cultivation is enough." Gu Yi noticed the increasingly restless thunder power in the Thunder Hell Vine.
Obviously, Thunder Hell Vine saw that it had broken through to a hundred thousand years, and was unable to do anything to Gu Yi, so it was ready to explode.
"Hmph!" Gu Yi snorted coldly, his eyes flashed with purple light, and powerful soul power surged out, directly shattering the soul of the Thunder Hell Vine into pieces.
The Remnant Soul Heavenly Technique is a complete set of soul inheritance. In addition to cultivation, there are also several ways to use soul power, including soul attack.
However, this soul attack method is not very advanced, but it is more than enough to deal with soul beasts like the Thunder Hell Vine.
The soul of the Thunder Hell Vine was shattered. Naturally, it was dead and could no longer die. Most of the thunder soul power in its body condensed into a red soul ring and slowly emerged.
Ancient As Yi thought, the soul ring floated over and attached to the blood martial soul.
The violent thunderous soul power flowed out from the soul ring, and along with the blood flowed all over the limbs and bones, countless lightning bolts danced on Guyi's surface.
Enlightenment, start!
Gu Yi carefully felt the mystery of thunder energy and understood the power of destruction and life in it.
In the past two days, Gu Yi had some insights. Now with the soul ring of this soul beast, he has a deeper understanding of the three paths of thunder, life, and destruction.
“Thunder…”
“Birth…destruction…”
Several other soul rings of the Blood Martial Spirit appeared behind Gu Yi, moving in unison with the eighth soul ring.
Countless golden blood flowed from Gu Yi's body, turning into a sea of blood in the blink of an eye, covering most of the valley.
Above the blood sea, thunder flashed, constantly striking the blood water, penetrating an inexplicable energy into it, causing special changes to occur.
Gu Yi had learned about the origin of life on Earth in his previous life. One of the hypotheses was that thunder and lightning struck the primitive ocean, prompting the birth of life...
Gu Yi This move is just to imitate one or two, and to understand the way of life in the process.
After an unknown amount of time, the sea of blood exuded a strong breath of life, filling the entire valley.
After years of thunder bombardment, the valley turned into a scorched earth. Under the soil, shoots sprouted and grew rapidly, turning into green grass in the blink of an eye.
In just a few minutes, the valley was covered with grass and flowers, becoming vibrant and pleasant.
Gu Yi slowly opened his eyes, with a smile on his lips, and the sea of blood under his body quickly returned to his body.
The artistic conception of life is accomplished!
In addition, Gu Yi also gained some understanding of thunder and destruction, and finally reached the state of unity between heaven and man.
"I have gained a lot from this trip." Gu Yi sighed, "The only thing that has been seriously consumed is the source power."
In just a few days, Gu Yi enlightened himself twice. And the time is not short, the consumption of source power can be imagined.
The original strength of more than 100,000 is now less than 20,000!
Of course, the benefits are not small.
Gu Yi successively comprehended the 'devouring artistic conception' and the 'life artistic conception', and gained an introductory understanding of the power of space, destruction, thunder, etc. His strength was greatly improved, and it was considered worthwhile.
The 100,000-year-old soul ring of the Thunder Hell Vine gave Gu Yi two soul skills, called 'Blood Tribulation' and 'Senluo Thunder Prison'.
Blood Tribulation is more accurately called Blood Thunder, which is an attack-type soul skill.
Use blood to turn into thunder to carry out the responsibilities of heavenly calamity!
This move contains powerful destructive power and powerful attack power. If he digs deeper, Gu Yi might be able to control the Bloody Heavenly Tribulation.
This is why the ancient Yi called it the ‘Blood Tribulation’.
Senluo Thunder Prison is a domain-type attack soul skill. It can be combined with the Seventh Soul Ring's Wind Blood Sea Avatar to sweep the whole place, and its power is not weak either.
Both of these are attack-type soul skills, but they are inconsistent with Gu Yi’s previous plan for the blood martial soul.
But it’s not bad to think that the Thunder Hell Vine has improved Gu Yi’s understanding of the way of life and the way of destruction.
