The Third Trial's Divine Reward! The Thunder God's Fourth Trial: The Mysterious Thunder God Space?

"Fourth Soul Skill, Blue Silver Forest Thunder Prison!"

This was a wide-area offensive Soul Skill, born from the fusion of the Thunderous Hell Vine's forest of lightning and the Thunderous Hell. Once activated, it could unleash a thunder domain within a thousand meters.

Within the domain, countless purple-gold lightning bolts could erupt, forming the Star Pavilion Thunder Cage and inflicting continuous lightning strikes and paralysis.

"Fantastic!"

"I have a domain-type Soul Skill now."

Zhou Tong smiled faintly. This Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring had brought him an incredible haul.

Not only had he obtained an External Soul Bone, but he had also gained two powerful Soul Skills.

Moreover, the External Soul Bone was a precious growth-type Soul Bone that could continue to strengthen as his Soul Power advanced.

It could be said that the protection it offered had virtually no limit.

By then, Zhou Tong's Soul Power had also risen to level forty-three.

An eleven-year-old Soul Ancestor was unheard of.

The instant Zhou Tong finished absorbing the Soul Ring, the Thunder God's figure appeared in his mind once more.

"Zhou Tong, congratulations on passing the Thunder God's Third Trial."

"As your reward, you may claim a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring bestowed by the Thunder God!"

"Prepare yourself. I'm about to send down divine power."

Hearing this, Zhou Tong calmed his mind. The Thunderous Hell Vine and Thunder God Hammer appeared in his hands as he prepared to absorb the God-Bestowed Soul Ring.

Boom!

The next moment, a surging torrent of thunder crashed down from the sky, like Heaven Lightning descending upon the world, and poured into Zhou Tong's Thunder God Hammer.

The boundless power of the Thunder God washed over Zhou Tong, filling his entire body with a vast, destructive force.

Fortunately, he was already accustomed to the process.

Before long, a deep red Soul Ring appeared around him.

Joy spread across Zhou Tong's face as he slowly opened his eyes.

"I've gained two more Soul Skills."

"First Soul Skill of the Thunder God Hammer: Power to Uproot Mountains and Conquer the World—Unrivaled Divine Hammer!"

This was a pure power-based Soul Skill. It could summon a gigantic hammer and unleash a terrifying area attack.

When the skill was activated, it was like a colossal cauldron dropping from the heavens, smashing everything within several thousand meters. Its attack power was also doubled—an absolutely terrifying effect.

"And the Thunder God Hammer's first Soul Skill: Thunder God Break!"

This was an auxiliary damage Soul Skill.

When the Thunder God Hammer struck, it could gather the Thunder God's lightning power at the hammer's tip, forming an armor-piercing spike. It ignored most Martial Soul defenses and delivered a powerful penetrating attack.

Stack the two Soul Skills together, and the damage was immense, while the armor-piercing effect was excellent.

Simply invincible.

"Zhou Tong, I'll tell you a little secret now."

"Beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well lies a mysterious space, where the remnants of the ancient divine war are stored."

"What?"

Zhou Tong was startled. He had visited the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well once, yet he hadn't discovered its secret.

"Once you reach level fifty, go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Inside the Ice and Fire Space, defeat the lingering souls of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings, then fuse with the Heart of the Thunder God."

"That is the task for your Fourth Trial."

"Whatever you gain along the way will be your reward."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Thunder God's figure disappeared.

The next moment, Zhou Tong slowly opened his eyes, his face full of shock.

"The lingering souls of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings?"

"The Heart of the Thunder God?"

It seemed that when the Water and Fire Dragon Kings and the Thunder God had perished together in that ancient divine war, the energy left behind had formed a unique space there.

"So there really are divine treasures at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

Zhou Tao's lips curled slightly, his eyes brimming with anticipation.

"But I can't enter until I reach level fifty."

"Clearly, this place won't be easy to get into."

"And although the Water and Fire Dragon Kings have been reduced to lingering souls, they won't be easy to defeat."

"Looks like I'll have to find a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast for my fifth Soul Ring and make myself even stronger."

"Only then will I have enough power to face the lingering souls of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings."

Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were hard to find.

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast with a thunder attribute was even harder to find!

Zhou Tong quickly searched his memories. From Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Spirit Hall, and Qian Renxue, he had learned a great deal about Soul Beasts.

Among them, powerful thunder-attribute Soul Beasts were indeed rare.

And every one of them was an exceptional creature among Soul Beasts.

"The thunder-attribute Soul Beasts I know of are the Sky Azure Bull Python—the Soul Beast that fawns over Xiao Wu—the Earth-Armored Thunder Dragon, and the Thousand-Evil Sub-Dragon."

The Earth-Armored Thunder Dragon roamed Thunder Canyon, within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's territory. To hunt it, he would first have to deal with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

The Sky Azure Bull Python roamed the core region of the Star Dou Forest, where there were many Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. But if he could capture Xiao Wu and use her as leverage, perhaps he could trick the Sky Azure Bull Python into offering itself up.

In the original story, Tang San had used Xiao Wu's death to trick the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape into sacrificing themselves.

As for the Thousand-Evil Sub-Dragon, it roamed Thunder Abyss in the Far North. That place had once been the Thunder Beast's sacred land. After the Thunder Beasts went extinct, it was occupied by the Dragon Clan and became the Thousand-Evil Sub-Dragon's territory.

But the Far North was home to many powerful Soul Beasts. It wasn't a place one could enter lightly.

"Thinking about it, capturing Xiao Wu and forcing the Sky Azure Bull Python to sacrifice itself is the more realistic option."

"Or I could deal with Yu Luoxiao and go into Thunder Canyon to find the Thunder Dragon."

After all, Xiao Wu was still weak and easy to handle.

In any case, Daming and Erming would sooner or later sacrifice themselves for Xiao Wu. Better Zhou Tong took them than Tang Biesan.

Douluo Continent, Divine Realm.

In a space where seven-colored rosy light interwove and spread, the sky looked like brilliant glazed gemstones, the clouds like cotton, and a gentle radiance shimmered everywhere.

Palaces stood atop dazzling crystals, each one radiating an extraordinary aura.

Inside a peaceful, quiet temple, a figure clad in dark purple armor watched what was happening on the Douluo Continent with his blackish-purple eyes.

His presence was ethereal, yet it contained a destructive force capable of piercing through time and space. His aura alone inspired fear.

He turned his gaze toward Zhou Tong, who was absorbing a Soul Ring, and his eyes brimmed with amusement.

This was the God King of Destruction, one of the Divine Realm's five supreme gods.

Just then, an elegant, dignified figure entered the great hall.

"Xiao Zi, what are you looking at?"

The speaker was a beautiful goddess in green robes, with a graceful figure and a noble, luxurious air: the Goddess of Life.

"Xiao Lu, that child has set foot on the path to godhood, and he's doing quite well."

"I've been keeping an eye on him ever since he descended into this world."

"The boy hasn't disappointed me. With nothing but a little vine, he's already passed several trials in a row."

Even the God of Destruction, usually so stern, wore a rare, satisfied smile.

"His Martial Soul contains not only the power of destruction, but also tremendous vitality."

"This child really is something."
