Demon Memory Orb

In the sky, Zhong Su stopped laughing and looked down at the dense crowd below, a sense of irritation rising in his heart.

"A bunch of ants, polluting my eyes."

"Die!" Zhong Su roared ferociously.

He conjured lightning from the void and hurled it downwards. Crackling thunder echoed across the sky, plummeting rapidly and instantly filling the people below with terror.

"Not good, stop him quickly!" Yu Luomian shouted a warning, his black spirit rings rising beneath his feet as a colossal thunder dragon charged into the sky.

He had always been cautious, harboring a defensive stance against this unfamiliar ancestor.

Is he truly a demon? How could such a thing be our ancestor? Big brother was deceived! he worried inwardly.

With his warning, the others finally reacted and quickly moved to intercept.

"Rumble—"

Hundreds of bolts of lightning shot past Yu Yuanzhen into the sky. His pupils widened in disbelief.

Wasn't he our ancestor? Why is he attacking us?

But with things as they were, he had no time for further thought and could only fly into the sky like lightning to resist the onslaught.

I almost forgot. Shendu saw this and remembered he hadn't yet given Yu Yuanzhen the reward for the second clan trial.

In the sky, Yu Yuanzhen exerted all his strength, the deep black spirit ring tinged with red beneath his feet vibrating as if it were about to shatter.

"True Dragon's Fury!"

Yu Yuanzhen roared hoarsely, nine dazzling thunder dragons charging into the sky and colliding with the lightning descending from the demon, resulting in a massive explosion.

Rumble—

The powerful light forced everyone to close their eyes. When they opened them again, they saw Yu Yuanzhen standing in the sky, covered in blood.

Clan Leader!

The people's hearts filled with worry for him.

Cough, cough. Yu Yuanzhen coughed twice, gasping for breath. He didn't have time to rest and urgently addressed the demon in the sky, "My Lord, please cease your attack. We are your servants!"

The word "servants" was something he had only learned after the clan trial. He felt it was roughly equivalent to "subordinates." He had deliberately ignored the term before, but now he had no choice but to bring it up.

After all, the opponent was far too powerful.

However, to his surprise, Zhong Su remained expressionless upon hearing this, coldly stating, "Hmph! You wish to be my servants? Utterly preposterous!"

He transformed into a bolt of lightning, appearing behind Yu Yuanzhen, and then grabbed the latter's head, slamming him fiercely towards the ground.

Yu Yuanzhen crashed heavily onto the ground. At the same time, unfamiliar information suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Second clan trial complete. Reward: one Demon Memory Orb."

"This orb is a peculiar orb I discovered during my travels on the continent. Its aura is the same as that of the Thunder Demon, Zhong Su. In the future, you may offer this orb to the demon and perhaps receive a reward."

Offer it to the demon? For a reward?

Heh, now the demon doesn't want them anymore!

Yu Yuanzhen stood up with a tragic laugh, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

In the sky, a larger Thunder Flower bloomed, and thick bolts of lightning rolled down like an ocean!

No matter who it is, I will not let them harm my clansmen.

Yu Yuanzhen gritted his teeth and flew into the sky, his heart filled with a resolve to die as he charged towards the lightning, completely disregarding the orb that appeared in his mind.

If it were before, he might have considered offering it to the demon, but now that the demon had made an enemy of them, how could his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family be insulted at will?

Even if the demon apologized now, he would still defend the family's honor!

Sigh! Why are you so stubborn! Shendu sighed helplessly.

He had calculated everything, but not this fellow's temper. Fine, why not at least try using the orb!

That was the Demon Memory Orb he had painstakingly created, capable of turning enemies into allies in an instant.

In the sky, the world-destroying lightning was about to strike Yu Yuanzhen. Compared to the thunderous ocean, his figure was too small.

It looked as though he would be swallowed in the next second.

On the distant ground, the crowd panicked and scrambled to flee into the distance.

"Run!"

"Damn, what is this thing?"

The people wished they had grown two more pairs of legs. This sky-filling lightning, if it fell, wouldn't be a joke; it would truly be world-ending!

"Go, Thunder Douluo, you must hold on, at least give us time to run further away!"

Although the members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family were terrified, none of them moved to escape.

One reason was that the range of this lightning sea was so vast that even running wouldn't help; they could only wait for death. Another was that they still held a sliver of hope in their clan leader.

"Clan Leader! Go!"

"Clan Leader!"

The clansmen looked up at the sky with hopeful eyes, adults and children alike clasping their hands together in prayer for them.

Meanwhile, within Shendu's Divine Position Space, large cracks tens of meters high were appearing one after another.

If Zhong Su were truly allowed to annihilate the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, he would not have enough divine power left to repair the space.

There was no choice but for me to act myself.

Shendu controlled the ball of light as it flew out of Yu Yuanzhen's body, heading straight for Zhong Su in the sky.

"This is..."

Seeing the ball of light flying towards him, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if this ball of light were extremely important to him.

I must have it!

Zhong Su flashed like lightning, snatching the ball of light, which was then automatically absorbed by him.

Immediately, a flood of unfamiliar yet familiar memories appeared in his mind.

After receiving all the memories, Zhong Su suddenly understood.

So that's how it is. Did I really do these things?

While he was contemplating, Yu Yuanzhen had already collided with the Sea of Thunder.

His nine lightning dragons tumbled and bit within the sea of thunder, but to no avail.

Instead, the lightning in the sky wore down the lightning dragons, and after a few exchanges, they were completely annihilated.

"Ah—"

Yu Yuanzhen cried out in pain, his body stiffening and trembling uncontrollably.

Even in his dragon form, he could not withstand the agony of being entwined by lightning.

Only when Zhong Su collected all the lightning did he faint and fall heavily to the ground, his body charred black.

"Patriarch!"

"Father, are you alright!"

"Big Brother!"

The crowd quickly surrounded him, anxiously checking his injuries.

His internal organs were all damaged, his skin completely burned, and he was barely clinging to life.

If Shendu hadn't used his divine power to preserve his life, he wouldn't even have a breath left.

"Cough cough!"

Under the treatment of the healing-type soul masters, Yu Yuanzhen weakly regained consciousness and was carefully helped up by everyone.

Zhong Su slowly descended in front of Yu Yuanzhen, his icy gaze fixed on him.

The crowd, thinking he was about to attack again, stood protectively in front of Yu Yuanzhen.

But to their surprise, Zhong Su spoke with arrogance, "You are my servants. You have rendered great service in helping me retrieve my memories, and now I shall reward you with the opportunity to serve me. I require a palace; build it for me quickly."

His words surprised the members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family. He had just tried to kill them and had beaten their patriarch to this state, and now he was demanding they build him a palace.

Was this something a person would do?

They all looked towards their patriarch.

Shendu was also observing from the secret chamber, thinking, Yu Yuanzhen, don't be a hothead again.
