Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Thunder Dragon, A Century of Glory

Chapter 75 A Gathering of Beasts, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Appears

The thick, dark clouds didn't gather directly into the heart of Thunder Canyon, but Yun Yibai and his group still needed to advance a short distance.

That thick, dark cloud layer looked far away, but it was actually not close at all.

Thunder Canyon is extremely large, and the reason they could see it so clearly was because they were relatively close to the thunderous phenomenon; it was impossible to see this from other directions.

The two walked through Thunder Canyon, the ground beneath their feet trembling from the constant falling lightning, and a chilling pressure permeated the air. Yun Yibai and Yang Wudi wore solemn expressions, yet could not hide their curiosity.

Actually, just before they set off, the thick, dark clouds in the distance began to unleash thunder. The thunder came in waves.

"Bang!" A thick bolt of lightning suddenly struck down, aimed directly at Yang Wudi, but he remained completely calm. Long before the lightning struck, he had already quietly erected a solid soul power shield around himself. The lightning struck the shield, unleashing a dazzling burst of electricity, but it failed to harm him in the slightest.

"Ugh, this is so annoying!"

"The lightning is getting fiercer. It seems we're getting closer to the secret beneath those thick, dark clouds." As if the lightning bolt had never existed, Yang Wudi said, looking at the thick, dark clouds that were constantly crackling with electricity.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yibai frowned slightly, a hint of doubt rising in his mind: "But the further we go this way, the more soul beasts we encounter?"

"Shouldn't those spirit beasts that haven't fully developed their intelligence avoid this environment?"

Along the way, he and Yang Wudi occasionally saw lightning-attribute soul beasts that were over ten thousand years old, and even saw several that were a thousand years old.

It was because of these spirit beasts that his and Yang Wudi's progress slowed down.

"Hehehe!" Yang Wudi chuckled upon hearing this.

"Young Yi Bai, I admit that you are indeed a rare genius. You see things more far ahead and more deeply than us old folks."

"But there are some things that he cannot control simply through intelligence, such as soul power."

"These things require sufficient life experience to acquire."

Yang Wudi continued, "The reason those soul beasts didn't flee is because their instincts drove them in that direction. Their instincts told them that the gains over there outweighed the dangers."

"That means that over there is either a high-level soul beast, a soul beast with a special bloodline, or it could be a rare and precious treasure. Maybe we'll even encounter another immortal-grade medicinal herb."

"These soul beasts are heading that way solely to devour that mysterious thing."

"Anyway, we'll find out when we go and see. Maybe the two of us can even be the ones to profit from this. With me here, we can sit back and watch the soul beasts fight and pick up some bargains."

After a period of time.

"Roar~!"

"Moo~!"

"Cry~!"

"."

They could hear the loud roars of the soul beasts from a distance.

"Judging from the sound, it seems that quite a few soul beasts have gathered nearby! They are demonstrating and warning each other." Yang Wudi's eyes were sharp.

"It seems quite a few soul beasts have come!"

"I don't know what it is, being struck by lightning and coveted by these soul beasts."

"But we'll find out soon enough. Kid, it's not far off, let's hurry up." Yang Wudi reminded Yun Yibai to move quickly.

"Okay, senior."

In fact, Yun Yibai and Yang Wudi were not far apart.

The place where the thick black clouds brought down lightning was a valley. However, when Yun Yibai and Yang Wudi got closer, they discovered that there was a naturally formed lightning-attracting valley in this Thunder Valley. The lightning here was more concentrated and powerful than any lightning they had encountered before.

"It's actually a naturally formed lightning-attracting ground!" Yun Yibai exclaimed in admiration. Their Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect also had such places, but those environments were artificially constructed to facilitate the cultivation of their disciples.

Yang Wudi led Yun Yibai to hide in a secluded spot on a high point in the valley.

"Thunder Eagle, Falling Hoof Rhinoceros, Gale Thunder Wolf, Raging Lightning Rock Leopard, Purple Crown Thunder Python..." Yang Wudi listed some of the soul beasts he recognized. Of course, there were also some he didn't know.

Suddenly, Yang Wudi focused his gaze on a giant soul beast.

"Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex! Hey, we actually ran into one."

"This size suggests it's between 20,000 and 30,000 years old. Kid, have you taken a liking to this spirit ring?"

Yang Wudi asked a simple question and then ignored Yun Yibai, his gaze probing deeper into the distance.

Yun Yi smiled. He wouldn't settle for less than the right fifth spirit ring.

His target spirit beasts must be between 30,000 and 40,000 years old. He will not lower his standards.

"So many spirit beasts, and most of them are ten-thousand-year-old spirit beasts, tsk tsk tsk, this is going to be quite a show!"

"Let me see what exactly is that thing that's been baptized by thunder!"

He also wanted to know what this thing, which was so frequently visited by lightning and coveted by so many soul beasts, was.

It was a purplish-red vine, rooted in the valley, its entire length already reaching more than ten meters. This was only what was visible; the unrevealed parts of its body were still hidden in the valley.

Sizzle sizzle~

A faint rumble of thunder sounded.

This sound of thunder was different from the thunder that fell from the sky; it was very faint, but it gave people a very dangerous feeling.

"What kind of spirit beast is this?"

"It's a plant-type soul beast."

Yang Wudi had absolutely no memory of this plant-type soul beast.

Just as he was wondering, lightning struck again from the thick, dark clouds.

Then, with perfect accuracy, it struck the plant-type soul beast.

"Whoosh~" After being struck by lightning again, the vine swung its body, making a sound as it tore through the air.

"Yun Yi, do you recognize this soul beast? You come from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus clan, so you should know more about lightning-attribute soul beasts than I do."

However, little did Yang Wudi know that Yun Yibai was already stunned.

That's right! I was absolutely stunned!

"Hey kid, wake up!"

"Judging from your appearance, you should know something about this plant-type soul beast!"

"A purplish-red coat, surrounded by lightning that appears purple—if I'm not mistaken, this should be a special soul beast recorded in the family's ancient texts, the Thunderous Hell Vine!" Yun Yibai said solemnly after regaining consciousness.

"Few people know about this kind of soul beast. Even I only found some information about it in many books because I liked reading when I was a child."
