Douluo Dalu: Golden Spirit Tree

Chapter 41 Thunder Waterfall

The book records that the Thundering Hell Vine grows in places covered with thunder and lightning, and has the blood of the Thunder God. When it is first born, it looks like a bamboo shoot and eats thunder. A hundred years ago, it was struck by lightning a hundred times and added one year to its age. A hundred years later, it attracted thunder to its body, turning it into a thunder pool and a place of destruction. It can change the celestial phenomena for ten thousand years, until the thunder in its body became too strong and it destroyed itself and died.

Lin Yi thought about the records of the Thundering Hell Vine and couldn't help feeling happy. Isn't this his most ideal soul beast? A plant-based, top-level soul beast with thunder attribute.

As for why he had felt the illusion of the Thundering Hell Vine before, Lin Yi already knew. It should be the ability or opportunity of the Son of the Plane that the Golden Tree mentioned. When he was looking for the Millennium Blue Silver Grass before, it was the guidance given by the Golden Tree. This sudden inspiration should also be the induction given by the Golden Tree.

Lin Yi told Moon what he had just sensed. Moon naturally remembered the guidance that the golden tree had given Lin Yi. When he heard that Lin Yi had received guidance again, he no longer hesitated and immediately decided to follow the guidance of the golden tree to look for it.

After all, that was the Thundering Hell Vine. Most soul beasts would enter the countdown to self-destruction after becoming ten thousand year soul beasts, which made this kind of soul beast extremely rare on the continent. If he could really find this soul beast, since it was also a plant soul beast, Lin Yi would be able to absorb it more easily.

However, sensing the guidance from the golden tree, Lin Yi did not take any action for a while.

"what happened?"

"Master, the direction you are guided to is within this thunder waterfall."

Moon was silent, then he said, "Given the characteristics of the Thundering Hell Vine, it's normal in this thunder waterfall. Let's go."

"Master, your injury..."

"It's okay. After all, I have reached my limit. For a while, this thunder waterfall can't do anything to me."

After hearing Moon's words, Lin Yi could only feel relieved for the time being.

Seeing the worry hidden in his disciple's eyes, Moon's heart warmed and he comforted him: "Master, I still have the Gold of Life here, it's okay."

Lin Yi nodded reluctantly.

Afterwards, Moon protected Lin Yi and Bei Bei. After all, this was the center of the Thunder Valley. Rather than leaving Bei Bei here with an uncertain degree of danger, it would be better for Moon to take care of them personally. He would feel more at ease seeing them in person. It would just take a little more effort.

Following the guidance of Lin Yi's golden tree, the group gradually went deeper. The violent thunder seemed to have sensed the entry of outsiders, and lightning snakes kept bombarding the few people. Looking at the thick and long size of the lightning snakes, Lin Yi had no doubt that even if the lightning snakes just touched him, it would be difficult for him to leave an intact body.

But under Moon's protection, he escaped unharmed.

Moon En's hunched body now seemed extremely tall to Lin Yi.

The soul power shield with a faint golden light looked so thin that even the outside scenery could be seen clearly through the shield, but it was this layer of light that blocked all the thunder.

"This is the strength of the Extreme Douluo..." Lin Yi muttered to himself.

Seeing that Moon is so powerful even though he is seriously injured now, I wonder how powerful Moon, the Extreme Douluo, would be if he was in his prime.

At this moment, Lin Yi secretly made up his mind that this time when he returned, he must start treating Moon's body as soon as possible and must not delay any longer. This thigh must be saved.

After a moment, Lin Yi finally saw the target of his action.

Deep in the thunder waterfall, a vine stretched out, wrapping the surrounding thunder as much as possible. With a swallowing-like movement of the vine, there was a brief gap in the thunder around the vine, and then it was replenished by the surrounding thunder.

Under the vines was extremely dense lightning lava.

As the vines moved, the magma below created slight ripples like stirred mercury.

This vine is naturally the Thundering Hell Vine.

"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." Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng remained silent, as if he didn't expect Lin Yi to say it was him.

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."
