Challenging a Fifty Thousand Year Soul Beast, Ten Thousand Thunder Heavenly Prison Induction!

Just as they arrived at Thunder Pattern Cliff, the Titan Giant Ape came to a halt.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing the Titan Giant Ape stop, Xiao Wu asked from its shoulder, looking puzzled.

"Sister Xiao Wu, there is the aura of a Title Douluo here."

The Titan Giant Ape said solemnly.

"What?!"

Xiao Wu's expression also became grave.

She looked toward the top of Thunder Pattern Cliff.

The Titan Giant Ape was massive.

Sitting on its shoulder, she could see the cliff top perfectly.

Xiao Wu's eyesight was decent, and she easily spotted the young figure standing on the cliff's edge.

But suddenly, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a look of astonishment appeared on her face.

"Er Ming, look at the cliff top."

"What is it?"

"Look at that human's soul rings. How is this possible?"

Xiao Wu frowned tightly.

Although she hadn't had much contact with the human world, a soul ring configuration of purple, purple, and black should be fundamentally impossible.

Even the group that hunted her and her mother had started with yellow soul rings; at the very least, one had to reach the fifth soul ring before seeing a black one.

"So that's it. No wonder there is the aura of a Title Douluo here."

Er Ming also caught sight of Yu Tianchen's soul ring configuration on the cliff at this moment, his expression shifting to one of realization.

"That kid must be a genius among humans, and that Title Douluo is likely here to protect him."

"A genius..."

Xiao Wu murmured softly, her beautiful eyes flickering.

She suddenly had a small idea.

However, with a Title Douluo present, this was going to be difficult...

Meanwhile, on the side of Thunder Pattern Cliff closer to the outer perimeter, Dugu Bo, who had been resting with his eyes closed in a hidden tree, suddenly snapped his eyes open, looking toward the Mixed Zone with a grave expression.

"This aura..."

"How could something of that level appear here?!"

He straightened his body but did not move immediately.

He could sense that the behemoth in the Mixed Zone had no intention of approaching.

Perhaps it had no plans to come this way at the moment.

If he were to act rashly and startle the beast, drawing the attention of that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, it would be disastrous.

Although he didn't move, Dugu Bo had already pushed his soul power to its peak.

The moment that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast showed any sign of wanting to approach Thunder Pattern Cliff, he would reveal himself and immediately take Yu Tianchen away.

At this moment, Yu Tianchen was unaware that he was caught between a Title Douluo and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

He bent his knees slightly, panting as he gazed at the Azure Thunder Purple-Patterned Lion before him, the smile on his face growing wider.

"A fifty-thousand-year Azure Thunder Purple-Patterned Lion... this is truly exhilarating!"

Truly.

This was the most satisfying battle Yu Tianchen had fought since his awakening.

Neither sparring with his grandfather Yu Yuanzhen nor with his father Yu Xiaotian had ever given him this feeling.

When sparring with his grandfather and father, they wouldn't truly go for the kill, and Yu Tianchen knew this, so he felt no pressure at all.

But fighting this Azure Thunder Purple-Patterned Lion was different.

The beast was genuinely trying to kill him!

He could also fight without restraint, unleashing every single one of his moves upon it!

The thrill of this life-or-death struggle was something Yu Tianchen found truly addictive.

Opposite him, the Azure Thunder Purple-Patterned Lion was not faring any better.

Its fur had been scorched black by lightning, and its left front paw was twisted at an unnatural angle.

Its body flickered between red and white, occasionally leaking wisps of frigid and scorching energy.

It stared at Yu Tianchen as if looking at a monster, its eyes filled with deep apprehension.

This human before it.

He clearly looked excessively young.

Yet, he was terrifyingly strong.

Having fought the opponent for so long.

It had taken solid hits, but the opponent was as slippery as an eel, impossible to get a grip on.

Every time it was about to land an attack.

The opponent would vanish from its field of vision as if teleporting.

Moreover, the lightning released by the opponent was extremely bizarre.

Because it fed on thunder energy, the Azure Thunder Purple-Patterned Lion had a very high tolerance for lightning.

But facing the thunder released by this opponent, it experienced a sensation like never before.

Mostly pain, but vaguely... a hint of pleasure?

"Again! Today, this Thunder Pattern Cliff shall change masters!"

Behind Yu Tianchen, five small drums simultaneously erupted with dazzling thunderous light.

Lightning bloomed in his hands, forming a long halberd, and he teleported to the side of the Azure Thunder Purple-Patterned Lion via the thunder feathers on the ground, slashing down fiercely.

"ROAR!!"

The Azure Thunder Purple-Patterned Lion suffered a wound to its flank and let out a sudden roar, releasing countless bolts of lightning from its body to knock Yu Tianchen away.

At the same time, it reared up, its right paw, as large as Yu Tianchen's head, slamming down toward him.

Yu Tianchen triggered Instant Thunder Startling Feather again, teleporting to the other side of the Azure Thunder Purple-Patterned Lion to continue his fierce assault.

The Azure Thunder Purple-Patterned Lion whipped its tail, which struck through the air like a steel lash, darting rapidly toward Yu Tianchen.

Yu Tianchen used teleportation once more.

With his agility maxed out.

The Azure Thunder Purple-Patterned Lion's massive body had now become its greatest disadvantage.

Just then, roars suddenly echoed from behind Yu Tianchen.

Several Azure Thunder Purple-Patterned Lions, aged roughly between 10,000 and 30,000 years, had arrived at the summit of Thunder Pattern Cliff, surrounding Yu Tianchen.

"Hmph, a pack of lions ganging up on me?"

"Isn't that a bit dishonorable?"

Yu Tianchen frowned slightly, stomped one foot, and launched himself into the air with the aid of lightning, clapping his hands together.

"Where the thunder strikes, nothing shall remain!"

"Ten Thousand Thunder Heavenly Prison Induction!"

Above the sky, vast dark clouds gathered under the guidance of the Five Thunder Shock Drums.

Countless heavenly thunderbolts descended from the clouds, forming a persistent, unending thunderstorm zone atop the cliff.

The Azure Thunder Purple-Patterned Lions roared, glaring at the figure in the sky.

The purple patterns on their bodies lit up in unison, their mouths opening as thunderous light gathered within.

But the very moment these Azure Thunder Purple-Patterned Lions released the lightning from their mouths.

Yu Tianchen used Instant Thunder Flying Feather again, teleporting to a more distant location.

"Soul power is running low..."

Yu Tianchen frowned, sensing the state of his internal soul power.

He was only a Soul Elder, and maintaining such high-intensity combat.

Was more than he could handle at his current level.

It was only thanks to the soul power stored within his Soul Power Vortex.

Otherwise, he reckoned his endurance would have run out back at the base of the cliff.

It looks like it's going to be tough to take this down tonight; better retreat for now.

Yu Tianchen calculated in his heart.

If he were fighting a 50,000-year soul beast one-on-one, he wouldn't be afraid of anything.

But being besieged by several ten-thousand-year soul beasts was more than even he could handle.

It was just that retreating like this left him truly unwilling...
