Thunder Hell Vine

Thunder Hell Vine

This rumble of thunder differed from the previous one, instantly putting Yu Yuanzhen on guard. He moved Kong behind him.

A moment later, a vine crackling with deep-blue lightning appeared before them.

As though it possessed intelligence, it circled Yu Yuanzhen and Kong twice, as if confirming something.

"Hm? A thousand-year lightning vine?"

Yu Yuanzhen spoke with some confusion.

He had never seen the vine before and simply assumed it was a mutated vine.

Plant-type soul beasts with lightning attributes were as rare as those with fire attributes.

Kong: "..."

For some reason, Kong felt that this "lightning vine" looked rather familiar.

It was as if he had heard its great name somewhere before.

After thinking for a moment, Kong's eyes lit up. If he was not mistaken, this "lightning vine" should be called the Thunder Hell Vine!

Legend had it that the Thunder God of the Douluo God Realm had perished in a world-shaking battle. With His death, the Thunder Hell Vine had appeared.

The Thunder Hell Vine was born with intelligence and possessed the trait of "drawing lightning"!

Moreover, being struck by lightning made it stronger.

Born from thunder, it advanced within thunder, and in the end, it turned to ash and scattered within thunder.

That was the life of a Thunder Hell Vine.

Judging by Yu Yuanzhen's words, this Thunder Hell Vine had only a thousand years of cultivation. Why had it appeared here?

I never expected the Thunder Hell Vine to be in Sunset Forest. Should I absorb its soul ring as my second soul ring?

The Thunder Hell Vine was one of the most elite plant-type soul beasts. Things like the Blue Silver Emperor were nothing before it!

Its lightning attribute was likewise among the very best, nearly reaching the level of Ultimate Thunder.

Just then, the Thunder Hell Vine stopped. It had found its target!

That surge of thunderous power was simply too alluring to it!

The Thunder Hell Vine slowly approached Kong. The blue lightning around its body grew even more violent; it was becoming more excited!

Its target is actually me? Did the lightning attribute on Engulfing Lightning draw it here?

Kong wondered in confusion.

Yu Yuanzhen's expression changed. Though this plant-type soul beast was strange, it was still merely a thousand-year soul beast.

It actually wanted to harm his grandson right in front of him!

"Grandfather, this is a Thunder Hell Vine. It's very powerful. I think it should be my second soul ring!"

Just as Yu Yuanzhen was about to cut the Thunder Hell Vine into sections, Kong spoke.

Yu Yuanzhen was slightly stunned. Thunder Hell Vine?

What kind of soul beast was that?

Though he did not understand, Yu Yuanzhen rather agreed with Kong's claim that this soul beast was powerful.

Judging from the thunder it emitted, it was far, far stronger than an ordinary thousand-year soul beast.

Yu Yuanzhen nodded, then instantly completed Martial Soul Possession and attacked the Thunder Hell Vine...

Subduing a mere thousand-year soul beast was effortless for Level 96 Yu Yuanzhen—easier than turning over his hand!

In the blink of an eye, Yu Yuanzhen suppressed the Thunder Hell Vine with one hand.

"It traveled a thousand miles to deliver its life. What a generous gift, and what deep sentiment!"

Kong had no idea how far this Thunder Hell Vine had traveled to reach him.

Even under Yu Yuanzhen's suppression, the Thunder Hell Vine continued struggling. Although it possessed intelligence, it only had a thousand years of cultivation. No matter how intelligent it was, how intelligent could it truly be?

In its mind, Kong was a precious medicine. Eating him would bring benefits! If it devoured the lightning within Kong, it would certainly take a great step forward on the path of "advancement."

Seeing this, Kong summoned Engulfing Lightning into his hand. Behind him, the fully charged Chakra Desiderata instantly dwindled to a single Ba Pattern. All the energy within it was drawn out by Kong and guided into Engulfing Lightning.

Engulfing Lightning did not disappoint Kong. Purple lightning flickered around it, merging with the blade. Its might was enough to make even an ordinary Soul Elder tremble.

One had to know that the Chakra Desiderata had reached full capacity, meaning that its total stored energy was equivalent to Kong's total Soul Power.

This strike was equivalent to Kong using all his Soul Power in a single attack!

As Engulfing Lightning appeared, the suppressed Thunder Hell Vine struggled even more fiercely.

Suddenly, Kong froze while holding Engulfing Lightning. He turned to Yu Yuanzhen and asked, "Grandfather, it has no roots. How am I supposed to kill it?"

Yu Yuanzhen: "..."

He looked at the Thunder Hell Vine. Unlike ordinary plants, this one had no roots, so killing it to obtain its soul ring was somewhat difficult.

"Cut it into several pieces, or grind it into ash. That should do it, right?"

Yu Yuanzhen said uncertainly.

The Thunder Hell Vine was about as thick as a child's arm. Suppressed in Yu Yuanzhen's hand, it could not resist at all.

Perhaps it had heard Yu Yuanzhen's words, because the Thunder Hell Vine became even more violent. A muffled peal of thunder rang out in the sky, followed by a bolt of lightning descending from above and striking Yu Yuanzhen and the Thunder Hell Vine without missing.

Yu Yuanzhen: "..."

This little thing could draw lightning too?

Why did it feel exactly like that person?

Yet there was a difference. The lightning it drew would strike itself as well!

The bolt of lightning did not affect either the Thunder Hell Vine or Yu Yuanzhen. With Yu Yuanzhen taking part of it, the Thunder Hell Vine was unharmed as well.

"It suits Kong quite well."

As if he had thought of something, Yu Yuanzhen smiled at Kong.

If Kong could inherit this lightning-drawing trait after absorbing the Thunder Hell Vine's soul ring, that would be wonderful!

"Grandfather, are you all right?"

Kong was startled by the sudden lightning strike. Holding his Naginata, he instinctively took a step back and asked Yu Yuanzhen.

Yu Yuanzhen shook his head. He himself was the Thunderbolt King and had once cultivated using Falling Thunder. This amount of thunderous power had little effect on him.

"That's good, that's good."

Kong let out a sigh of relief, then raised the fully charged Engulfing Lightning and slashed at the Thunder Hell Vine. He would first cut this little thing into pieces. If it still was not dead, then he could only grind it into ash!

Kong slashed down several times in rapid succession, while Yu Yuanzhen cooperatively shifted the Thunder Hell Vine around. In just a moment, the Thunder Hell Vine had been cut into several sections.

Its "blood" was deep blue.

"Grandfather, this blood can be collected. It is greatly beneficial to soul masters who cultivate lightning attributes."

Even after being cut into several pieces, the Thunder Hell Vine had not completely died. However, it had lost all ability to fight.

"Oh? It actually has such a remarkable effect?"

Yu Yuanzhen was first taken aback, then quickly took out a jade bottle. After some thought, he poured the wine inside directly onto the ground. Though this little wine could not get him drunk, he could not set a bad example for a child. What if Kong started drinking in the wilderness in the future?

Seeing this, Kong did not know whether to laugh or cry...
