Thunder God's Divine Trial, Soul Ring Age

The broken sword passed through the rift and arrived on the Douluo Continent.

Deep within the space beneath the Life Lake in the Star Dou Forest, the Silver Dragon King, who had been sleeping while severely wounded, suddenly snapped her eyes open.

The aura of the Thunder God?! Wasn't He the first god to perish in that battle!

At this moment, the Silver Dragon King's consciousness had not yet fully recovered, so she sensed it again, uncertain.

That's right! That aura is the Thunder God.

It was just that the aura was too weak, and the Silver Dragon King could not sense any vitality within it.

It must be the Thunder God's divine artifact.

Sigh~, I was truly too naive. Even if the Thunder God's combat power could rival a God King, so what? In the end, He was only a first-tier god, not a God King.

Since the power of the Thunder God has appeared on the Douluo Continent, it must absolutely not be allowed to fall into the hands of those hypocritical God Kings.

The Silver Dragon King endured her pain, channeled the remaining divine power within her body, and, with the help of the power of destiny contained within the yet-to-hatch Three-Eyed Golden Lion, she exerted all her strength to conceal the aura of the Thunder God's artifact.

After doing so, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of the Silver Dragon King's mouth, and her aura instantly withered significantly.

"Di Tian, send someone out to search for the Thunder God's artifact or His successor."

"If it is the former, bring it back to prevent it from falling into the hands of our enemies; if it is the latter, invite them back politely, regardless of whether the successor of the divine thunder is a human or a soul beast."

After relaying the order to Di Tian, the Silver Dragon King could no longer hold on and sank into a deeper level of slumber.

She left only the newly awakened Di Tian standing in place, pondering whom to send to carry out this mission.

Looking at the somewhat dazzling crystal ball, Yu Hengqing was just about to ask Yu Yuanzhen if he possessed innate full soul power, only to discover that the light of the crystal ball was actually fading!

"How can this be?!"

Yu Yuanzhen had lived for so long and had never heard of the light of a crystal ball dimming while measuring innate soul power.

Watching as the light of the crystal ball grew weaker and weaker, to the point of almost extinguishing, an ominous thought surfaced in Yu Yuanzhen's mind.

Could it be that Xiaoqing is just like Xiaogang!

Seeing this, Yu Hengqing anxiously called out to Leiyi in his spiritual space.

"Leiyi, loosen up! If you keep pressing down, my innate soul power is going to become zero!"

"Understood."

As Leiyi responded to Yu Hengqing, both he and Yu Yuanzhen watched as the crystal ball, which had been on the verge of extinguishing, gradually began to brighten.

The light illuminated the hope-filled eyes of Yu Yuanzhen, as well as the fire of expectation within him.

"Innate soul power level six! Level six! Hahahaha!"

Yu Yuanzhen burst into loud laughter, and as he laughed, tears welled up in his eyes.

But before Yu Yuanzhen could rejoice for long, a sudden change occurred!

Following Yu Hengqing's aura, the broken sword arrived above the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan, transformed into a bolt of silver-white lightning, and charged toward Yu Hengqing inside the house.

Yu Hengqing had just been about to say something to Yu Yuanzhen when he saw a bolt of silver-white lightning shatter the roof and strike toward his face.

Everything happened so suddenly that even Yu Yuanzhen, a Titled Douluo, could not react in time.

The silver-white lightning rampaged through Yu Hengqing's body, continuously ravaging his flesh, and Yu Hengqing could not help but scream in agony.

"Ah! Aaaaah!"

Amidst the electric light, the broken sword merged into Yu Hengqing's lower abdomen like water entering the sea.

Carrying waves of pure soul power, the broken sword traveled from Yu Hengqing's lower dantian up to his spiritual space located in the upper dantian.

Just as the broken sword was about to strike, a bolt of golden lightning interrupted its movement.

"This is not a place for you to come. Retreat!"

Leiyi, wrapped in golden lightning, appeared before the broken sword, blocking its path.

The broken sword, not wishing to waste any more energy, released a wisp of colorful thunder and offered it to Leiyi.

Facing the broken sword's "bribe," Leiyi did not accept it and raised his hand to push the colorful thunder back.

Seeing this, the broken sword seemed to realize something and hurriedly transmitted a message to Leiyi.

After receiving the information, Leiyi frowned slightly, said nothing more, and stepped aside to let the broken sword pass.

With Leiyi no longer blocking the way, the silver-white broken sword raised itself and struck toward Yu Hengqing's spiritual space.

Accompanied by a boom that echoed throughout the entire spiritual space, a pale yellow light instantly filled the entire area.

From then on, the broken sword remained in the center, no longer moving, simply absorbing the soul power around Yu Hengqing to heal his body.

Under the healing of the broken sword, the tidal waves of pain gradually subsided, and Yu Hengqing's face, twisted by agony, began to relax.

Until the pain vanished, replaced by a sensation of coolness.

Sensing the anomaly, Yu Hengqing silently opened his eyes, only to discover with astonishment that he was actually standing in an ocean of pale yellow.

A bewildered Yu Hengqing stood amidst the pale yellow sea.

"Where is this?"

"This is your mental space."

Leiyi's voice came from behind Yu Hengqing, who immediately turned around upon hearing it.

"I remember my mental space being silver-white. Why has it turned pale yellow?"

Having just seen his mental space, Yu Hengqing was confused as to how it could have changed color after such a short time.

"Because of its existence."

Yu Hengqing followed the direction of Leiyi's finger and saw a silver-white broken sword floating quietly in the center of his mental sea.

"It?"

With a puzzled look, Yu Hengqing walked up to the broken sword and crouched down, staring at it for a long while without seeing anything special.

The broken sword felt no different to Yu Hengqing than the iron swords he used for daily training; in fact, it was even more dilapidated than those.

Could this be my golden finger?

Looking at the object before him, a sudden flash of inspiration struck Yu Hengqing. He turned to ask Leiyi behind him, "Leiyi, is this thing dangerous?"

"Not for now. I don't sense any aura of danger."

Hearing this, Leiyi shook his head slightly at Yu Hengqing.

With Leiyi's confirmation, Yu Hengqing no longer hesitated. He reached out, gripped the hilt of the broken sword, and gave it a few swings.

"The feel is good, but the blade is broken in half. Otherwise, it would definitely be a fine sword!"

Yu Hengqing gently brushed his fingers over the blade, sighing with regret.

After performing a sword flourish, just as he was about to return the broken sword to its original position, a mechanical voice echoed in his mind.

[Qualified successor detected. Initiating transmission of the Thunder God's divine trials.]

The broken sword released a bolt of multicolored lightning that plunged into Yu Hengqing's right hand, transforming into a seven-pointed star surrounded by colorful thunder.

Yu Hengqing raised his right hand to examine it, only to find the seven-pointed star on the back of his hand looking dim, and a bad thought surfaced in his mind.

Don't tell me this divine trial also requires me to find lightning power to charge it?

The cold, mechanical voice appeared in Yu Hengqing's mind once more.

[Transmission complete. Now announcing the contents of the divine trial.]

[Nine Trials of the Thunder God: First Trial]

[Task: Obtain a lightning-attribute spirit ring with a cultivation age of no less than 700 years.]

[Reward: Increase spirit power by three levels and obtain Cangming Lightning.]

It's actually nine trials! If that's the case, as long as I complete the nine trials, I can become a god directly!

Upon learning that he had nine trials, Yu Hengqing could not hide the excitement on his face.

Now he didn't need to consider how to go to Sea God Island; after all, the Sea God position was already earmarked for Tang San, and there wouldn't be much benefit for him to go there!

In the future, Spirit Hall would certainly take action against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. If he didn't become stronger, he would very likely be targeted by Spirit Hall.

However, there was one thing Yu Hengqing didn't understand: when did a Thunder God divine position appear on Douluo Continent?

Yu Hengqing's heart was full of doubts. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a familiar ceiling.

Turning his head toward the bedside, he found Yu Yuanzhen sitting there with the sect archives, looking as if he had been keeping him company for a long time.
