Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 351 Breaking through three barriers
Hit by the silver light, a faint ripple appeared on the huge black stone gate. A moment later, a gently rotating space passage suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.

"Haha, go ahead, little guys!" Mang Tianchi laughed heartily, and his figure instantly disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving only the long echo reverberating in their ears: "I will be on the fourth floor, waiting for the winner among you who can pass the preliminaries..."

As Mang Tianchi's voice fell, Lin Yuan's figure flashed and appeared in front of the space channel, and he plunged in without hesitation.

A mere preliminary round, with almost no effective design for him, is not worth being cautious about.

"Only the top sixteen who reach the fourth level can pass the preliminaries! Come on, everyone..." Seeing Lin Yuan go in first, many people's eyes suddenly turned red, and they immediately used their skills to rush into the space gate.

As the last person entered the space channel, the channel gradually dissipated and then transformed into a huge solid black stone gate.
-
The moment he stepped into the passage, the light in front of him suddenly became brighter, causing Lin Yuan to subconsciously close his eyes.

Not long after, when the dazzling light slowly dissipated, Lin Yuan opened his eyes again, only to find himself standing in front of a pool of thunder. The loud rumbling sound of thunder continued to spread from the huge pool of thunder.

"Is this the first level? This minefield... is rather ordinary."

Looking at the thunder pool in front of him, Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, but his expression was quite indifferent - although the thunder pool in the tower was not small in scale, the quality of the thunder in it was not too high.

Most of these thunders are comparable to the level of seventh-grade Dan Lei, and there are not many that are comparable to eighth-grade Dan Lei.

"It seems that the first level of the test... is this minefield!"

Lin Yuan's mind moved, and a vast soul power surged from his brows. At the same time, a ray of purple light flashed in his eyes: "Let me see, the passage is..."

"Where is this?" When Lin Yuan was exploring, figures appeared nearby, and some exclamations were heard: "There is such a place in the tower, but why can't I see the passage to the second floor? Friends of the Thunder Clan..."

Before he finished speaking, many eyes turned to the three members of Thunder Clan and locked onto them.

Since it is the secret realm of the Thunder Clan, then the people of the Thunder Clan should know about it.

Seeing this, Lei Yun behind Lei Dong sneered and said lightly: "No need to look at us, we don't know."

"This is not the ordinary first floor of the Tower of Thunder. When we usually enter, we don't go through that space channel. Haha, since this is a competition held by my Thunder Clan, how could we let the younger generations of the Thunder Clan take advantage of this and win unfairly?"

His voice was filled with a pride that came from the bottom of his heart, and he did not try to hide the pride of being a member of an ancient clan.

"Looking for a passage? Maybe there is another simple option, hehehe——"

A sinister laugh suddenly rang out from the black fog at the edge of the crowd, making everyone feel a chill in their hearts.

Turning his head to look, he saw Hun Feng taking a step forward, looking at everyone indifferently, and said faintly: "We will kill you all here, and we should be able to directly exempt you from the main competition, so that all the glory this time will belong to our Hun clan."

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became heavy, and dangerous gleams appeared in everyone's eyes.

Lei Dong clenched his fists and said eagerly: "You dare to say this, you bad boy from the Soul Clan is quite courageous! Well, let me finish you off right here..."

And at a point on the edge...

"The location of the passage... has been found, it's there!" Lin Yuan exhaled lightly, dissipated the misty purple light in his eyes, took back all the released soul power, and looked towards the southwest bottom of the thunder pool.

For him who possesses the aura of an ancient dragon, even though the environment here is extremely complex, it is not too difficult to sense the spatial channel where the force of space is concentrated.

Afterwards, Lin Yuan's mind moved, and the dry blue ice flame suddenly surged out from his body, and the atmosphere of cold and heat quickly spread.

Noticing the movement, everyone looked over at the same time.

Under the gaze of everyone, the dry blue ice flames intertwined and gathered, turning into an ice-blue flame shield, tightly wrapping Lin Yuan's entire body to protect him.

"Haha, everyone, Lin Yuan has gone ahead..."

With a slight smile, Lin Yuan did not hesitate at all. He stepped on the air with his foot, creating a ripple. His figure then turned into an ice-blue stream of light and flew towards the bottom of the thunder pool, leaving behind a gorgeous ice-blue trail.

"Chi la——"

The moment he rushed into the thunder pool, numerous thunders rushed out like silver snakes and struck like lightning.

However, facing these thunders, Lin Yuan didn't even think of dodging.

Although the thunder power in the Thunder Pool poses a certain threat to Dou Zong and even ordinary Dou Zun, its effect cannot be said to be immediate when facing the Qianlan Ice Flame, which is at the top ten level of the Strange Fire List. It can only be said to be better than nothing.

The moment the silver lightning came into contact with the protective fire, a slight dull sound would burst out and then quickly disappear.

The minefield that was quite tricky for others was not difficult at all for Lin Yuan.

He was like a spirit fish swimming in a pool of thunder, freely shuttling and leisurely strolling in the vast and violent sea of ​​thunder, flying towards his goal calmly.

The moment he reached the bottom of the thunder pool, Lin Yuan's eyes suddenly opened up.

In a piece of rock that was carved into holes by the power of thunder, a space passage several meters in size was indeed discovered. As it rotated gently, it emitted a faint silver fluorescent light, as if it connected two worlds.

Without any hesitation, Lin Yuan rushed into the space channel like a bright meteor.

First level, passed!

Seeing Lin Yuan enter the thunder pool, everyone who was confronting him above was stunned. The atmosphere instantly became subtle, and their eyes involuntarily looked down at the thunder pool.

"The passage is just below..."

Upon realizing this, many contestants were immediately delighted and quickly followed the direction Lin Yuan had just gone and flew towards the bottom of the thunder pool.

Dozens of people rushed in, and immediately a raging thunder pool was set off, with countless thunderbolts striking fiercely. The participating geniuses were not to be outdone, and they mobilized their own majestic fighting spirit and released their own handy fighting skills to resist the sudden lightning.

In an instant, bursts of various fighting spirits and silver thunders erupted in the thunder pool, colliding with each other, causing earth-shaking roars.

However, these contestants were far from being as calm as Lin Yuan.

Among them, even those high-level Dou Zongs looked quite embarrassed when facing the seemingly ordinary thunders in the thunder pool.

The thunder moved around their bodies like a silver snake, making crackling sounds from time to time. The protective fighting spirit of some people was shaken, and some people were directly hit by the thunder, letting out shrill screams.

Even worse, some people were so shocked that they twitched all over, or had to temporarily withdraw from the thunder pool, or crush the space stone and drag their injured bodies out of the competition. This is what Mang Tianchi said, "gaining with strength."

This thunder pool is almost impossible to pass through if one is below the peak of Dou Zong level, which is enough to eliminate those who are lucky enough to be weak.

"We can't let the people from Danta take the initiative. Well, Lei Dong... you guys are lucky." After looking indifferently at the people who were confronting Lei Dong, Hun Feng waved to the four people behind him, and then floated down in the strange black fog.

"I will completely smash that arrogant mouth in the main competition." Lei Dong sneered, his body turned into colorful lightning, and swooped towards the thunder pool.

Afterwards, many people from the imperial clan also flew towards the bottom of the thunder pool.
-
More Tower, second floor.

"These are... creatures condensed from the power of thunder..."

Standing in the void, Lin Yuan looked at the silver shadows in human or animal form in front of him, his eyes and eyebrows slightly raised: "Such a pure thunder element life is somewhat similar to the thunder beast in the void thunder pool..."

Lin Yuan didn't feel too strange about the appearance of this thunder creature, as he had seen it in the Void Thunder Pool.

In a sense, in the Douqi Continent, if it were not for the existence of the special profession of alchemist, the power of thunder would be more advantageous than the power of strange fire.

For example, the Black Demon Thunder, if it can be tamed, its power is almost as good as some of the top ten strange fires, and the Nine Profound Golden Thunder is almost as good as the Pure Lotus Demon Fire and the Void Devouring Flame. For higher-level ones, there is also the legendary Emperor Thunder that accompanies the Emperor-grade elixir.

What is even more commendable is that these extremely high-level special thunders are much easier to appear than strange fires, and multiple of them can exist at the same time.

However, although the power of thunder is strong and easy to appear, it is much more difficult to obtain its spiritual wisdom.

Looking at these pure thunder creatures in front of him, Lin Yuan's eyes were filled with interest: "Their intelligence seems to be higher than those in the Void Thunder Pool! Were they tamed by the Thunder Clan, or... created?"

The group of Dou Zong-level thunder creatures before him not only had wisdom in their eyes, but also formed a mysterious formation.

This level of spirituality and wisdom far exceeds those in the Void Thunder Pool.

In the Void Thunder Pool, even the wild thunder creatures at the Dou Zun level do not have such spirituality and wisdom... It is obvious that these thunder creatures have been tampered with.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan felt secretly awed.

If these were thunder creatures tamed by the Thunder Clan, it would be fine; but if they were created by the Thunder Clan, that would be quite interesting - with this technology, plus the huge amount of thunder in the Magic Thunder Pool, it means that the Thunder Clan can mass-produce Dou Zong and Dou Zun combat power.

These great forces that have accumulated strength for tens of thousands of years would not be easy to deal with if the gap between their top combat powers was not so huge.

"The heritage and wisdom accumulated by the ancient clan will be explored slowly when you are strong enough in the future!"

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and glanced at a place where thunder creatures gathered - the space gate, which was covered by this group of thunder creatures.

"Back off! I'm not someone you can stop..."

Glancing at these thunder creatures that formed a formation, Lin Yuan waved his hand casually and said indifferently.

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, many thunder shadows roared together, and the lightning burst out from their bodies, then gathered together and turned into a huge silver thunder dragon hundreds of feet long. It roared towards the sky and rushed towards Lin Yuan fiercely.

With such momentum, even an ordinary Dou Zun strongman would have to temporarily avoid the limelight.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan took a step forward and shot out towards the direction of the space gate. The dry blue ice flame gushed out from his body, interweaving and transforming into a high-speed rotating ice-blue flame drill.

The next moment, the hundred-foot-long thunder dragon and the several-foot-long flame drill collided violently like meteorites.

"Bam—"

The collision of the two powerful attacks instantly caused a thunderous explosion, and energy ripples swept out like a storm from the point of impact.

After a moment of stalemate, the flame drill, with the power of the strange fire, penetrated the silver thunder dragon like a hot knife through butter. After drilling through the thunder dragon, it continued to fly towards the gate of space, crushing all the thunder creatures that blocked it along the way.

Lin Yuan's figure, accompanied by this indestructible momentum, directly penetrated the defense line and flew into the hidden space gate.

Second level, passed!

When Hun Feng, Lei Dong and the others arrived at the second floor, they saw a mess...
-
More Tower, third floor.

"Is this level of the trial a two-star Dou Zun-level thunder creature?" Looking at the eyes of the humanoid thunder creature in front of him, Lin Yuan's eyes condensed slightly, and his mind turned thousands of thoughts: "Compared to the Dou Zong-level thunder creature just now, its wisdom seems to have been enhanced a lot..."

This Douzun-level humanoid thunder creature has a gleam of wisdom and intelligence in its eyes that is not much different from that of a human.

"Trialist, get through my obstruction..."

The humanoid lightning creature was about to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Yuan: "Although I am somewhat interested in you, I am in a hurry. Goodbye!"

The moment the word "see" fell, the sound of dragon roar accompanied by a soul storm swept towards it.

Upon seeing this, the thunder creature's face changed, and brilliant lightning flashed all over its body, transforming into layers of power shields to resist the impact of the soul storm - a soul attack, which was extremely dangerous for it as it was naturally lacking in spirituality.

While this thunder creature was defending, Lin Yuan's figure shone like a blue stream of light and flew into the space passage behind it.

Level 3, passed!

When Lin Yuan's figure completely disappeared from the space channel, the raging sound waves and soul storm slowly dissipated.

This Dou Zun-level thunder creature just breathed a sigh of relief.

It glanced at the space passage with lingering fear, and a hint of gratitude emerged in its eyes - the feeling of being spared and being able to continue living... is so good!
But after this trial, how many of the lightning elemental creatures created in the same batch as himself will be left?
Thinking of this, a trace of melancholy flashed in its eyes - compared to being kept in captivity after gaining wisdom, being an unconscious raging thunder in the magic thunder pool might be a better way to live.

Shaking its head, it sat cross-legged, and followed the secret method taught by the 'Creator Lord' to condense the lightning element energy in its body.

On the other side, more than 20 people including Hun Feng, Lei Dong, Gu Qingyang, etc., also passed through the space gate of the second layer one after another, and then were all teleported to a separate space to face a two-star Dou Zun-level thunder creature alone.

The third level test is a pure test of strength.
