"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The vine armor condensed around his body shattered inch by inch beneath the ravaging lightning. His flesh was scorched black, and blood sprayed wildly from his wounds.
At last, after an unknown amount of time had passed, the thunderclouds dispersed.
This time, he had not consumed the [Nine Lives] Hextech. Though he had been severely injured, he had still survived the ordeal.
His ability to overcome the 200,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation was inseparable from the few immortal herbs he had consumed.
The Ice and Fire body tempering, the Yearning Heartbroken Red's boost to his spiritual power, and that unknown herb's addition to his vitality.
His only weakness now was that his offensive power was too weak, and he had too few attacking methods.
But his ability to survive was more than sufficient.
Yet the crucial problem was this: to overcome a Heavenly Tribulation, the most important thing was offensive ability. One needed powerful attacks capable of directly withstanding the Lightning Tribulation!
If it were merely a matter of enduring it head-on, Emerald Swan Bi Ji's survivability would undoubtedly surpass his by several times, perhaps even dozens of times.
Yet even that king of life-type support needed Di Tian's protection to pass a Heavenly Tribulation unharmed.
Soon after, Lan Lingcang finally fell helplessly from the air.
"Lan... Lan Lingcang." Ah Yin saw from afar that Lan Lingcang had truly survived that terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, but his condition seemed far from good. She hurried over from the distance.
She activated her Blue Silver Domain as well, mobilizing the surrounding Blue Silver Grass to wrap around Lan Lingcang's body as quickly as possible.
After catching Lan Lingcang, Ah Yin pulled him before her. Seeing his body charred black all over, her face was filled with worry.
"You... how are you?"
As Ah Yin spoke, she activated her Blue Silver Domain, trying to heal Lan Lingcang's injuries.
But she was only a Soul Ancestor. Even though her Blue Silver Domain possessed its highest mysteries, she could not heal the wounds left behind by a 200,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation.
Lan Lingcang took Ah Yin's soft hand and shook his head. "It's fine. Once I recover a little Soul Power, these injuries will heal with some time."
"Then I'll help you up." Ah Yin was completely unaware that Lan Lingcang was "holding her hand."
After helping him up, Ah Yin said worriedly, "What should we do next? Should we return to the Ancestral Land? Our identities have both been exposed now. I imagine quite a few powerful human experts will come looking for us afterward."
"You really shouldn't have let Tang Hao and Tang Xiao leave just now. Perhaps you let them go out of consideration for me." Ah Yin looked at Lan Lingcang. "Do you know? The two of them come from the number one sect among human Soul Masters, the Clear Sky Sect."
"From what I've learned during this time, the Clear Sky Sect has at least three Title Douluo. Their strongest member, the grandfather of those two, is now a Peerless Douluo."
"Fortunately, their grandfather seemed to have left the sect several years ago on important business, and there has been no news of him since."
"But that Title Douluo who was killed by the heavenly lightning just now said that he came from Spirit Hall, and Spirit Hall should be no stranger to you either."
"It is the force with the greatest number of Soul Masters on Douluo Continent. It probably has no small number of Title Douluo as well, and it also has a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo..."
"Don't worry." Lan Lingcang chuckled. "I already said it just now. If they send one, I'll kill one. If they send two, I'll kill them both."
"With my current cultivation, I should be comparable to a level ninety-six human Soul Master in combat power. And if we're talking about methods of defense, maneuvering, control, and the like, even a level ninety-seven Super Douluo would not be my match."
This was Lan Lingcang's estimation of his own strength.
The Blue Silver Grass bloodline was indeed lowly, but he had at least passed the 200,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation.
Under the pressure of the Heavenly Tribulation, his overall attributes had improved tremendously.
The reason 200,000-Year Soul Beasts were known as Ferocious Beasts was that this threshold was completely different from the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts before it.
Setting everything else aside, even in terms of offensive ability, he now surpassed both Da Ming and Er Ming.
The two of them were at most comparable to level ninety-six human Soul Masters, perhaps not even that.
Beyond that, Lan Lingcang had one advantage that neither of them could compare to.
That was his exceptionally broad reconnaissance, attack, and control abilities.
He no longer needed to activate his Blue Silver Domain to communicate with the Blue Silver Grass within a certain range.
And just how large was that range?
It was large enough that if he were in the Blue Silver Ancestral Land, he could immediately sense the feedback from the Blue Silver Grass the instant a Title Douluo entered the outskirts!
This was one of the rather overpowered abilities possessed by plant-type overlord Soul Beasts.
"Let's leave this place first." Lan Lingcang said to Ah Yin, "I'll take you somewhere. There, my injuries will recover very quickly, and it will also greatly benefit the growth of your cultivation."
"What place?" Ah Yin was somewhat curious.
"You'll know once we get there." Lan Lingcang smiled. "Hold on tight."
Lan Lingcang wrapped his right arm around Ah Yin's slender waist, activated his flying ability, and flew toward Sunset Forest.
Feeling the warmth around her waist, Ah Yin's face reddened slightly. It was her first time being in such close contact with a man.
After spending some time traveling, the two arrived at Sunset Forest.
A hidden valley.
Lan Lingcang controlled the vines to move aside, then led Ah Yin down toward the mouth of the valley.
"What is this place?" Ah Yin looked around curiously. Once she landed, she could feel the pure energy emitted by the surrounding environment.
Though she was currently a "human Soul Master," she was still a Soul Beast in essence.
And the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well provided plant-type Soul Beasts with a tenfold cultivation boost!
"What do you think?" Lan Lingcang looked at Ah Yin's astonished expression and smiled. "This is a treasure land I discovered by chance."
"If you cultivate here, you'll probably only need one year for your cultivation to advance to Soul King."
Ah Yin was currently a level forty-four Soul Ancestor.
Those who took human form all possessed Innate Soul Power of level ten.
Under normal circumstances, Ah Yin would need at least two years to reach level fifty.
And that was under relatively ideal conditions.
In reality, it would likely take more than two years.
Since Ah Yin had chosen to train outside with Tang Hao and the others rather than enroll in an academy, it meant that she could not enjoy the highest-grade simulated cultivation environment.
Natural simulated environments in the outside world were extremely rare.
Even if she encountered one, she could not stay there for long.
Therefore, for her to advance from Soul Ancestor to Soul King, there was a high chance that she would need two and a half years or even longer.
"Can I stay here all the time?" Ah Yin asked in delighted surprise.
This was Lan Lingcang's treasure land. Without his permission, she could not stay here.
