Zhutian: Invincible from the Martial Spirit

Chapter 121 Life and Destruction

The little man transformed from the remnant soul looked at the Thunder Valley from afar and saw a purple vine as thick as a bucket and divided into sections like bamboo joints climbing up the mountain wall, and the thunder in the sky was striking it one after another.

The violent power of thunder did not break the vine soul beast into pieces, but turned into countless electric arcs that moved and jumped on the surface of the vine.

The Thunder came quickly and went away quickly.

After half a quarter of an hour, the dark clouds in the sky dissipated, the thunder disappeared, leaving behind a devastated and charred valley below.

The arcs of electricity on the surface of the thick purple vine became fewer and fewer, but its aura became stronger, as if it absorbed the power of thunder.

When the remnant soul saw this scene, he suddenly realized that the appearance and characteristics of this soul beast seemed to have been seen in the soul beast book collected by Yu Xiaogang in the past - the detailed information of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was also seen from that book.

Information about this soul beast quickly flashed through Gu Yi's mind: "This plant soul beast seems to be called... Thundering Hell Vine!"

Thundering Hell Vine, known as the true number one destroyer in the plant world, is rumored to be the bloodline legacy left behind by the god of thunder after his death.

This type of soul beast is at the top of the plant-type soul beasts from the moment it is born.

The place where it grows must be a place with dense thunder and lightning.

The cultivation method of the Thundering Hell Vine is very different from that of other soul beasts. It cannot absorb the energy of heaven and earth normally to grow.

It can only develop when it rains and thunders.

Every time it is struck by lightning, the Thundering Hell Vine can absorb the power of thunder and make itself stronger.

The level of cultivation improved by a hundred lightning strikes is equivalent to one year of cultivation for an ordinary soul beast.

When the Thundering Hell Vine's cultivation level reaches a hundred years, it can actively attract thunder from the sky during thunderstorms and let the thunder bombard itself, which will greatly increase the speed of cultivation.

And when the cultivation level breaks through to ten thousand years, the Thundering Hell Vine will be able to change the celestial phenomena, causing thunder to descend on the earth, 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 beasts dare to survive around them.

However, as its cultivation level increases, the thunder energy in the Thundering Hell Vine accumulates more and more, and after being compressed, it becomes extremely violent.

When they can no longer control the thunder energy in their bodies, an energy riot will occur and they will explode with a bang.

Generally speaking, when the Thundering Hell Vine's cultivation reaches between 20,000 and 50,000 years, it will self-destruct and die.

There are very few Thundering Hell Vine that can be cultivated for more than 50,000 years.

Gu Yi observed the Thundering Hell Vine in the valley. It had been cultivated for about thirty-five thousand years and emitted 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 is truly a peculiar soul beast." Gu Yi sighed. With his current eyesight, he could naturally see the state of the Thundering Hell Vine.

"In order to avoid exploding and dying, he constantly used his own life energy to resist and balance the thunder energy that contained destructive power."

As a plant soul beast, the Thundering Hell Vine also contains vigorous life energy.

And because it has to resist the thunder energy containing destructive power day and night, the life energy of the Thundering Hell Vine is very pure.

It’s a pity that the Thundering Hell Vine is not the Blue Silver Emperor. It cannot draw life force from other plants. Its own vitality has its limits.

When the life energy cannot balance the thunder energy, and the power of destruction exceeds the life force, that is the time of its death.

Life and destruction...Gu Yi's eyes flashed, and his heart was slightly moved.

"Should I use this soul beast as my eighth soul ring..." Gu Yi pondered in his heart.

On the Douluo Continent, Gu Yi knew of only two soul beasts that were 100,000 years old or older and related to life.

One is the Blue Silver Emperor of the Sun and Moon Continent, and the other is the fourth-ranked ferocious beast, the Emerald Swan 'Biji'.

But the latter's soul skills are not suitable for Gu Yi.

There must be many hundred thousand year old soul beasts in the sea, among which there may be some soul beasts with strong vitality and good at life soul skills.

However, the ocean is vast, even larger than the Star Dou Great Forest or even the Douluo Continent, and it takes too much time to find a suitable soul beast.

The Thundering Hell Vine in front of him is actually an excellent choice.

Thunder possesses great destructive power, but it also possesses the power of creation.

There is vitality in destruction, which is a major factor in the origin of life.

The Thundering Hell Vine before him 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 Thundering Hell Vine and comprehends the mystery within it, perhaps Gu Yi's attainments in the way of life will become deeper and he can reach the level of artistic conception.

Even Gu Yi might be able to gain some insights into the Way of Thunder and the Way of Destruction...

Thinking of this, Gu Yi became excited and felt that the Thundering Hell Vine was indeed suitable as a soul ring for the Blood Martial Soul.

As for the 35,000 years of cultivation of the Thundering Hell Vine, Gu Yi didn't care.

Compared with the mysteries of the laws, this level of cultivation is not worth mentioning.

Besides, at worst, I could just do it like I did with the Thousand-Jun Ant King. I would first improve the cultivation level of the Thundering Hell Vine, and then hunt it down and absorb its soul ring.

Congeal!
Gu Yi's soul activated the residual soul technique, and all the residual souls returned to his body.

He opened his eyes and flew towards the valley where the Thundering Hell Vine was.

A flash of blood flashed across the sky, descending upon the scorched earth valley and landing less than a hundred meters away from the Thundering Hell Vine.

Thundering Hell Vine reacted immediately to the intruder Gu Yi, and its soul power surged out.

In an instant, countless lightning bolts filled the valley, turning it into a sea of ​​thunder and lightning, madly striking towards Gu Yi.

Thunder Hell!

Gu Yi's face remained calm, and he did not use his true energy to resist, allowing the thunder to strike him.

He walked in the sea of ​​thunder, step by step towards the Thundering Hell Vine.

Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng, whose wisdom is no less than that of humans, began to sway all over when he saw Gu Yi like this, and a feeling of panic emerged in his heart.

You have to know that it is a top-notch plant soul beast, known as the number one destroyer. With its more than 30,000 years of cultivation, the power of thunder it releases is something that even a 100,000-year soul beast or even a ferocious beast would not dare to withstand.

Not only does thunder contain powerful destructive force, it also has incredible destructive power that cannot be stopped by flesh and blood.

Moreover, the ferocious beasts are threatened by heavenly calamity, and are deeply afraid that the thunder power of the Thundering Hell Vine will trigger the calamity prematurely.

But the human soul master before him was clearly beyond Leiming Yanyu Teng's knowledge.

In order to stop Gu Yi from getting close, Thundering Hell Vine used all his strength, mobilizing his soul power to release various thunder soul skills, turning the thunder into liquid thunder plasma, condensing into thunder balls, which were even more powerful and even caused the thunder in the sky to descend again.

But there was still no way, not even Gu Yi's skin could be broken.

Gu Yi has already arrived in front of the Thundering Hell Vine.

Gu Yi pondered for a moment, then took out several fourth-grade high-level Shengyuan Pills and other pills from his storage ring.

——Shengyuan Pill is an elixir refined by Gu Yi using the body of the Blue Silver King. It contains tremendous life energy and can enhance the life source of the Thundering Hell Vine.

With sufficient life source, the Thundering Hell Vine can continue to suppress the violent thunder energy in its body.

In this way, it can exceed the limit of 50,000 years and reach a higher level of cultivation without self-destructing.

Gu Yi didn't want the Thundering Hell Vine to die before it reached 100,000 years. Gu Yi didn't care whether the Thundering Hell Vine was willing or not, and forced the Shengyuan Pill into its body, and then used the strange fire to help it digest the medicinal power.

In addition, Gu Yi also set up a formation in the valley that could draw on the energy of heaven and earth and condense thunder, and used thunder to continuously strike the Thundering Hell Vine.

Although the Thundering Hell Vine didn't know what Gu Yi's purpose was in doing this, it would be beneficial for it to have a breakthrough in its cultivation.

As its cultivation level improves, 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 win, it will just mobilize the power of thunder in its body to self-destruct, and it will definitely not let the human soul master have an easy time!

Therefore, the Thunderous Hell Vine cooperated very well during the whole process, constantly absorbing the medicinal power of the elixir and the thunder.

Seeing this, Gu Yi nodded slightly.

He also saw through Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng's little thoughts, but Gu Yi was not panicked at all.

Self-destruction? That would require the Thundering Hell Vine to be activated.

Gu Yi's soul power is always paying attention to the internal situation of the Thundering Hell Vine.

Once the Thundering Hell Vine makes any movement, Gu Yi will be able to detect it immediately and kill it.

Unlike the three 90,000-year-old Thousand-Year Ant Kings, they were not far from a hundred thousand years, so it only took a period of time to upgrade them to a hundred thousand years.

This Thundering Hell Vine has only been in cultivation for 35,000 years, and during the process of improving its cultivation, Gu Yi must always pay attention to the balance between the life energy and the power of destruction in its body to prevent it from self-destructing.

Energy cannot be crammed in simply and roughly.

This results in the Thundering Hell Vine's energy absorption speed being far slower than that of the Thousand-pound Ant King.

Therefore, this catalysis took a long time and cost Gu Yijin two days.

During this process, Gu Yi's soul power always covered the Thundering Hell Vine and the valley, observing the operation of the soul power in its body and the thunder roaming around.

Quietly comprehend the mystery of thunder, the destructive power contained in it, and the ray of hope hidden deep inside...

Finally, when the sun rose from the east the next day, the cultivation level of Thundering Hell Vine had finally reached 100,000 years!
This is something that has never happened since the birth of Douluo Star!

Because after the Thundering Hell Vine has been cultivated to the level of one hundred thousand years, it is very likely to truly revive the bloodline of the Thunder God.

It is not even like other ferocious beasts that worry about the threat of heavenly calamity. It can keep growing and is 100% capable of reaching a million years of cultivation, or even reaching the god level.

Therefore, the divine world will never allow them to be promoted to 100,000 years.

But now, because of Gu Yi's intervention, the cultivation of the Thundering Hell Vine has reached 100,000 years, and the Thunder God bloodline in its body has been activated.

The appearance of the Thundering Hell Vine changed from purple to purple-gold, and the quality of the thunder it released was increased again, with even more astonishing destructive power.

The Thundering Hell Vine noticed the changes in itself and was overjoyed. It quickly mobilized the power of thunder in its body and launched an attack on Gu Yi.

Thunder and lightning dance!

Highly concentrated lightning balls turned into afterimages and appeared in front of Gu Yi in an instant, bombarding him fiercely.

Powerful energy burst out and Gu Yi's body shook.

The thunder power of the Thundering Hell Vine can actually leave some charred marks on Gu Yi's body!
"As expected, you are a top-level soul beast. Although both of you are a hundred thousand years old, you are much stronger than the Thousand-Jun Ant King." Gu Yi exclaimed and walked out from the sky full of thunder.

He took a step forward and came directly to the Thundering Hell Vine and pulled it up by the roots.

"One hundred thousand years of cultivation is enough." Gu Yi sensed the increasingly restless thunder power in the body of the Thundering Hell Vine.

Apparently, Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng saw that he could not do anything to Gu Yi even after breaking through to 100,000 years, so he prepared to self-destruct.

"Hmph!" Gu Yi snorted coldly, his eyes flashing purple light. A powerful soul force surged out, directly shattering the soul of the Thundering Hell Vine.

The Art of Remnant Soul is a complete soul inheritance. In addition to cultivation, there are also several methods of using 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 Thundering Hell Vine.

The soul of the Thundering Hell Vine was shattered, so it was naturally dead. Most of the thunder spirit power in its body condensed into a red spirit ring that slowly emerged.

Gu Yi's mind moved, and the soul ring floated over and attached to the blood martial soul.

The violent thunder soul power flowed out from the soul ring, and flowed through his limbs and bones along with the blood. Countless lightning flashed on Gu Yi's surface.

Enlightenment, start!
Gu Yi carefully felt the mystery of thunder energy and comprehended the destructive power and life force contained therein.

In the previous two days, Gu Yi had already gained some insights. Now with the soul ring of this soul beast, his understanding of the three principles of thunder, life, and destruction has become even more profound.

"Thunder..."

"Life...Death..."

Several other soul rings of the Blood Spirit appeared behind Gu Yi, moving in rhythm with the eighth soul ring.

Countless blood-golden blood flowed out from Gu Yi's body, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a sea of ​​blood, covering most of the valley.

Above the sea of ​​blood, thunder flashed and continuously struck the blood, infiltrating an inexplicable energy into it, causing special changes in it.

In his previous life on Earth, Gu Yi had learned about the origin of life. One of his hypotheses was that lightning struck the primordial ocean, prompting the birth of life...

Gu Yi's move was precisely to imitate something or other, and in the process comprehend the way of life.

After an unknown amount of time, the sea of ​​blood began to emit a strong breath of life, filling the entire valley.

In the valley that had been scorched earth after years of thunder bombardment, new sprouts began to sprout from under the soil. They grew rapidly and in the blink of an eye, they turned into green grass.

In just a few minutes, the valley was covered with green grass and flowers, becoming full of vitality and pleasant scenery.

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, success!

In addition, Gu Yi also gained some insights into thunder and destruction, and reached the state of unity between man and nature.

"I have gained a lot from this trip." Gu Yi sighed, "The only thing that was seriously consumed was the source of energy."

In just a few days, Gu Yi attained enlightenment twice, and both sessions were of considerable duration. One can imagine how much energy he consumed.

The original source power was more than 100,000, but now it is less than 20,000!

Of course, the benefits are not small either.

Gu Yi successively comprehended the 'devouring state of mind' and the 'life state of mind', and began to comprehend the power of space, destruction, thunder and other forces. His strength increased greatly, which was well worth the money.

The two soul skills that the hundred thousand year soul ring of the Thundering Hell Vine brought to Gu Yi were called "Blood Tribulation" and "Senro Thunder Prison" respectively.

Blood Tribulation is more accurately called Blood Thunder, which is an attack-type soul skill.

Turn blood into thunder and carry out the duty of heavenly calamity!
This move contained powerful destructive force and had strong attack power. If it was dug deeper, Gu Yi might be able to control the bloody heavenly calamity.

This is why Gu Yi called it "blood disaster".

Senro Thunder Prison is a domain-type attack soul skill that can be combined with the seventh soul ring's Wind and Blood Sea true body to sweep across the entire field, and its power is equally strong.

These two are both attack-type soul skills, which are inconsistent with Gu Yi’s previous plan to give blood martial soul.

However, considering that the Thundering Hell Vine has improved Gu Yi's understanding of the Way of Life and the Way of Destruction, it is not bad.
