The Fourth Spirit Ring! Hundred-Thousand-Year Thunder-Roaring Purgatory Vine!

"It was actually a Thunder-Roaring Purgatory Vine close to a hundred thousand years old."

According to ancient records, Thunder-Roaring Purgatory Vines could grow to at most fifty thousand years. Beyond that limit, they would be unable to survive the Heavenly Tribulation.

Yet the Thunder-Roaring Purgatory Vine before him had far exceeded his expectations.

It could be said that this Soul Beast possessed strength comparable to a Titled Douluo.

It was too powerful!

At this moment.

At the center of the altar, the Thunder-Roaring Purgatory Vine was madly absorbing the power of the vicious thunder tribulation from the heavens.

Every strand of tribulation lightning was enough to strike a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast to death.

But to this Thunder-Roaring Purgatory Vine, it was nothing at all.

On the contrary, the more Heavenly Tribulations descended, the stronger the Thunder-Roaring Purgatory Vine's aura became.

Moreover, the second Thunder God Trial had required Zhou Tao to deal with a fifty-thousand-year Thunder-Roaring Purgatory Vine. Now it had become one close to a hundred thousand years old. Could this still count as a God Trial?

For a moment, Zhou Tao hesitated.

"I should try communicating with the Thunder God."

Zhou Tao thought to himself.

If this was not part of the Thunder God Trial, there was no need for him to challenge such a powerful opponent ahead of time.

His consciousness called out to the Thunder God within his mind.

"Senior Thunder God, may I ask whether the Thunder-Roaring Purgatory Vine for the second trial is the one before me?"

Very quickly, that towering illusory figure appeared once more.

"Oh? This Thunder-Roaring Purgatory Vine has actually grown to a hundred thousand years."

"That's right. It's this one."

"Zhou Tao, go challenge the hundred-thousand-year Thunder-Roaring Purgatory Vine and become the sole candidate for the Thunder God Inheritance."

Zhou Tao nearly felt suffocated.

This Thunder God seemed a little unreliable.

He had even gotten the age wrong.

Perhaps sensing Zhou Tao's resentment, the Thunder God burst into laughter.

"This one has indeed grown a little too quickly. When I saw it back then, it was less than fifty thousand years old."

"How about this? If you succeed in the challenge, I'll give you an additional treasure as a reward."

Only then did Zhou Tao agree.

A Thunder-Roaring Purgatory Vine close to a hundred thousand years old was simply too powerful.

If he had not brought three Titled Douluos with him, he truly would not have been confident in dealing with the Thunder-Roaring Purgatory Vine.

At this moment.

Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi, and the others watched the immensely shocking scene, their expressions turning grave.

"I never expected Douluo Continent to have such a powerful plant-type Soul Beast."

"This Soul Beast seems almost divine."

Dugu Bo sighed.

Although Douluo Continent had many records of Thunder-Roaring Purgatory Vines, no one had truly absorbed the Spirit Ring of such a super Soul Beast.

Many people even regarded this type of Soul Beast as part of the Thunder God Inheritance, treating it as a sacred and inviolable existence.

After all, legend said that Thunder-Roaring Purgatory Vines possessed the Thunder God Bloodline and could absorb the power of Heavenly Tribulations to evolve. It was simply too heaven-defying.

"A Thunder-Roaring Purgatory Vine close to a hundred thousand years old is already no weaker than an ordinary Titled Douluo."

"We need to be careful. If the Thunder-Roaring Purgatory Vine turns on us, things will become dangerous."

Ning Fengzhi's expression was solemn as he watched the hundred-thousand-year Thunder-Roaring Purgatory Vine bathe in exploding lightning. His eyes flickered as he immediately suggested that they work together.

This legendary super Soul Beast had unknown abilities. They could not act rashly.

The best course was for several Titled Douluos to cooperate, each using their own strengths to deal with this Soul Beast.

At this moment, Zhou Tao came back to his senses and said to everyone, "This Soul Beast is extremely powerful. Please be careful, seniors."

Zhou Tao had called them all here by drawing on favors. This time, no matter what, he had to take down the Thunder-Roaring Purgatory Vine close to a hundred thousand years old.

"Zhou Tao, don't worry. We'll definitely help you take down this Soul Beast!"

Dugu Bo said.

"Don't worry."

Ning Fengzhi said.

However, a shocking scene unfolded before them.

"Humans, why have you come here?"

The Thunder-Roaring Purgatory Vine, which was bathing in Heavenly Thunder and evolving, had actually noticed them. It even spoke human words to question them.

Clearly, this was a Thunder-Roaring Purgatory Vine that had gained intelligence.

Perhaps after some more time, it might even be able to take human form.

"Is this the super Soul Beast that possesses the Thunder God Bloodline?"

"With cultivation close to a hundred thousand years, it can already speak human language?"

Dugu Bo said in surprise.

"We were drawn here by the strange heavenly phenomenon and entered this place by mistake."

Zhou Tao answered its question. He was now hesitating over whether to hunt this Soul Beast, as the difficulty was simply too great.

"Then leave at once."

The Thunder-Roaring Purgatory Vine said as it continued absorbing Heavenly Thunder.

As an inheritor of the Thunder God, it wanted only to ascend to the Thunder God Godhood and had no desire to interfere in other matters.

At this moment, Dugu Bo also began to hesitate.

"Disciple, this Soul Beast is very likely more than a hundred thousand years old."

"What ordinary Soul Beast would possess such intelligence?"

Dugu Bo's words made Zhou Tao's expression turn stern.

A Soul Beast over a hundred thousand years old?

Even if they could defeat it, he might not be able to absorb it.

Moreover, he had never experienced the spiritual shock brought by a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast.

After all, hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts had already developed intelligence comparable to that of humans, and could even take human form.

Their Spirit Rings carried soul imprints containing their will and resentment from before death. Once absorbed by a Spirit Master, the Soul Beast would frantically assault the Spirit Master's consciousness and might even attempt possession.

Therefore, Tang Hao and Tang San had both obtained hundred-thousand-year Spirit Rings by falling in love with Soul Beasts, deceiving them into sacrificing their Spirit Rings in the name of love.

Almost no one forcibly absorbed a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, not even Titled Douluos.

Besides.

The Soul Power contained within a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring was also dozens of times greater than that of a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring. Such energy was far too powerful for ordinary people to endure.

After all, he was only at level forty now. Absorbing the Spirit Ring of a Soul Beast over a hundred thousand years old, equivalent to a level-ninety Spirit Master, was indeed rather risky.

Although his physique should be able to withstand it, enduring the spiritual shock brought by a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast would truly be difficult.

Furthermore, the other party was also part of the Thunder God Inheritance. Perhaps it might even want to possess Zhou Tao and become the sole inheritor of the Thunder God.

Thus, Zhou Tao frowned tightly, continuously considering whether he should take this risk.

"Old Poison is right. How about we forget it?"

"Let's look for another one."

Ning Fengzhi did not want the genius Spirit Master he had invested in to perish like this.

Spirit Masters with Spirit Rings over a hundred thousand years old were among the rarest existences on all of Douluo Continent.

But Zhou Tao was still too young. The risk of bearing a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring was simply too great.

However, in the next moment, something happened that shocked them.

"Seniors, I have a solution."

In the face of their attempts to dissuade him, Zhou Tao replied.

After thinking it through just now, he had figured it out.

"Zhou Tao, don't do anything foolish..."

However, Zhou Tao moved quickly. Before Dugu Bo could finish speaking, Zhou Tao had already arrived roughly five hundred meters from the Thunder-Roaring Purgatory Vine.

At such a distance, if a fight broke out, there would be no chance of escape.

Even a Titled Douluo might not be able to handle it.

"Human, do not come any closer."

"Why have you not left yet?"

At this moment, the Thunder-Roaring Purgatory Vine's voice faintly revealed its dissatisfaction.

Once it finished absorbing the power of Heavenly Thunder, it would enter slumber and await its transformation.

It would not allow outsiders to disturb it at such a time.
