Chapter 170 The Death of Thor
Like a waterfall hanging upside down from the Milky Way, it is magnificent, roaring and spraying water everywhere.
This should have been a perfectly normal scene, but now it seems extraordinary. If anyone were here, they would be speechless with astonishment.
The waterfall, with a drop of three hundred meters, was now presenting an extremely eerie sight. At the very bottom, one hundred meters below, it was completely abruptly cut off, revealing a smooth, dark mountain wall that had never been bathed in sunlight. The cascading water scattered and surged above one hundred meters, transforming into a water curtain more than thirty meters wide, causing ripples to constantly spread across the pool below.
Behind the curtain of water, a figure resembling a dragon could be vaguely seen standing directly beneath the waterfall, its body twisting and turning as if performing an ancient war dance, a blue-gold spear wielded wildly in its hand. This person was none other than Yu Tianyun, wielding the Blue Lightning Overlord Spear.
Yu Tianyun stood on the round rock, continuously unleashing the Soul-Shattering Spear Technique. His powerful energy surged forth, like a blue dragon coiling and dancing around his body. With each swing of the spear, the waterfall cascading from the sky rose slightly. The distance increased steadily, from one hundred meters to one hundred and thirty meters, one hundred and sixty meters, one hundred and ninety meters, and two hundred and ten meters.
Within the water curtain, one could vaguely see the terrifying blue lightning bolts rising up like a blue dragon, pushing against the waterfall.
The terrifying scene continued until the waterfall was hurled up to 240 meters. In an instant, below the waterfall, Yu Tianyun's figure paused, all his movements converging into a single point, abruptly stopping.
"Boom!"
A thunderous roar erupted, and all the blue lightning bolts coalesced and exploded in that instant, transforming into a blue dragon that soared into the sky. The massive waterfall that had been cascading down suddenly scattered and could no longer coalesce, turning into scattered water droplets. The waterfall with a drop of three hundred meters disappeared from sight in that instant.
The enormous blue dragon let out a loud roar, as if it were roaring to the sky or displaying its terrifying power.
Yang Wudi stood quietly by the pool, looking at the magnificent scene before him, his face calm and unperturbed, as if he didn't care at all, as if he thought it was all just a matter of course.
However, he still felt a little emotional. When did he make the waterfall disappear by flowing backward? It seemed to be when he broke through to the Soul Saint realm! He was probably in his fifties or sixties at that time.
Yu Tianyun was only seventeen years old at this time, with a soul power of level sixty-eight, so it was perfectly normal for him to create such a scene.
He knew that Yu Tianyun hadn't used his full strength at all; he was just warming up, so there was no need to make a fuss.
Then, Yu Tianyun put away his gun, stood up, and lightly leaped to the shore, his clothes not getting wet at all.
A month had passed since he mastered the Great Sumeru Hammer, and there were still ten days until the start of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
The reason for stopping here is that Yang Wudi allowed him to experience his own Blue Lightning Overlord Spear.
In just one month, he had become completely familiar with his Blue Lightning Overlord Spear. Although it was not a martial soul, he still achieved a level of mental connection with it that was like a martial soul.
He looked at the Blue Lightning Emperor Spear in his hand, his heart filled with confidence. If this were a martial soul, it would definitely be a top-tier martial soul, and it could continue to grow stronger.
At this time, his sixth spirit ring still only had two golden patterns. This was because his physical attributes had not improved significantly in the past year or so. However, he was confident that when his physical attributes reached the god level, this spirit ring would also be upgraded to a million-year lifespan. He had a premonition that at that time, his Blue Lightning Overlord Spear might become a true divine weapon!
Boom~
The waterfall, which had stopped falling, finally plunged down, and resumed its roaring roar and misty spray.
"Grandpa, let's go back!" Yu Tianyun's spear flashed with golden light and disappeared into his body. The six soul rings wrapped around his body—red, black, black, black, black, red—also disappeared into his body one by one.
His first spirit ring also evolved to the 100,000-year level, which happened to coincide with two thunderstorms this month.
He naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass him by. He released his first spirit ring and bravely rushed into the thunderclouds. After absorbing a large amount of heavenly lightning without any danger, his first spirit ring broke through the 100,000-year bottleneck.
However, when his first spirit ring reached 100,000 years, Yu Tianyun was suddenly startled.
Perhaps it was because of the trace of Thunder God bloodline contained in the Thunderous Hell Vine that he obtained a piece of information at that time.
Yu Tianyun guessed that this information was most likely from the Thunder God's extreme resentment at the time of his death, which was deeply imprinted in his bloodline and passed down through the Thunderous Hell Vine.
Yu Tianyun originally thought that the Thunder God died in the war with the Dragon God, but the news made him realize that there was another story. At the same time, he became more wary of the God Realm. The gods in the God Realm were not as harmonious as he had imagined, but were full of dangers. This made him give up the idea of inheriting the divine position and becoming a god.
Inheriting a god's position could very well mean being manipulated by them, leading to all sorts of things against one's own will. Moreover, in Yu Tianyun's view, those gods were not benevolent. He dared not gamble, nor was he willing to entrust his fate to others.
The message informed him that Thor, as a first-level god, held the power of judgment in the divine realm. This stemmed from the judgmental authority contained within his divine power. The Asura God also possessed the same judgmental authority. Since both of them had this ability, Thor's existence undoubtedly posed a huge obstacle to the Asura God. The division of authority would undoubtedly weaken the Asura God's divine power. This was what the Asura God told him to be an enlightened ghost before his death.
In the words of Yu Tianyun's previous life, this is a struggle for the Dao.
Through his past life memories and some fragmented memories of Thor, Yu Tianyun knew that there were three major factions in the God Realm: the Destruction Faction, the Good and Evil Faction, and the Asura God Faction. Thor was one of the few who did not belong to any of these factions. Another one who did not belong to any faction was the Goddess of Life. However, the Goddess of Life possessed the strength of a God-King and was also the wife of the Destruction God-King. Furthermore, she was skilled in healing, and all the gods in the God Realm had received her favors and would give her some face to varying degrees.
However, Thor had neither a powerful backer nor any popular support in the divine realm. As a law enforcement god, he was always disliked by everyone. Moreover, Thor was particularly impartial and selfless, showing no one any special favors, unlike the Asura God who would go easy on those close to him.
Furthermore, due to political differences, he frequently clashed with the God of Asura. However, the God of Asura never showed it, and on the surface, his conflict with the God of Thunder was merely a matter of differing opinions, without any real falling out. The God of Thunder didn't think much of it, always believing that the God of Asura and he simply had differing opinions, and that both of them were acting selflessly and for the sake of the divine realm.
This is because of the rules of the divine realm. On the surface, the Asura God cannot do anything underhanded, but Yu Tianyun secretly felt that the Asura God definitely wanted to get rid of the Thunder God.
As expected, when the battle between the Dragon Gods began, the Thunder God was tricked. Before the battle, the Asura God boasted that the Thunder God was incredibly powerful, no less than the God King.
This made Thor feel as if he had met a kindred spirit, and he immediately regarded the God of Asura as his dearest friend and family, forgetting all his previous unpleasantness.
So he patted his chest and guaranteed that he could take down both dragon kings by himself.
The other four God-Kings and a group of first-level gods, seeing how brave the Thunder God was, were all happy to see him like this and none of them tried to dissuade him. After all, the more pressure the Thunder God bore, the less pressure they would have. Besides, the Thunder God wasn't close to them, so they all praised the Thunder God incessantly, just like the God of Asura.
Thor, full of ambition, stepped forward at the front of the two armies, declaring his intention to challenge the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings to a duel.
The two dragon kings were not exactly known for their good tempers. They saw Thor's request as a provocation and a sign of contempt, which ignited their anger. The two dragon kings complied with Thor's demands and joined forces to fight him.
To the slight surprise of the gods, the Thunder God was indeed quite powerful. Although he was not comparable to a God-King as the Asura God had said, he was still much stronger than a typical first-level god. He held his own against the combined attack of the two Dragon Kings, which greatly surprised the Asura God, who had been watching the battle closely.
So, when they were all exhausted from fighting, the God of Asura silently came to the side of the God of Thunder, indicating that he had come to help. The God of Thunder immediately relaxed his guard, and then the God of Asura stabbed him, killing him with a single sword. His soul was scattered, and even his divine position was completely shattered, with no possibility of reunion. At the same time, the two Dragon Kings were also dealt with by the God of Asura.
After receiving this information, Yu Tianyun couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder he plays with hammers. He's somewhat similar to the hammer-wielding men of the Haotian Sect. They're both simpletons."
Yu Tianyun guessed that afterwards, the Asura God must have said that the Thunder God was courageous enough to challenge the two Dragon Kings alone, buying time for the other gods, but ultimately he unfortunately sacrificed himself and his divine position was shattered. Asura God had avenged the Thunder God by killing the two Dragon Kings.
Regarding Thor's death, Yu Tianyun felt that he was incredibly stupid and felt no sympathy for him, only a sense of loss.
After all, the most suitable godhood for him is Thor. He once fantasized about reuniting with Thor's godhood by using the special properties of his first soul ring. Moreover, Thor is already dead, so he doesn't have to be controlled by him. It's really the most suitable one for him.
But now it seems impossible, as the position of the Thunder God has been completely shattered by the Asura God and cannot be reconstituted.
As for inheriting other godhoods, he felt it was unreliable. Putting aside the question of how much combat power he would have after inheriting a godhood, there were only two gods on the Douluo Continent that he could inherit: the God of Asura and the God of the Sea.
The remaining Rakshasa God is a pervert and there are already candidates, while the Angel God is dead, leaving only a lost divine thought, which is only passed on to a thousand women.
As for why Yu Tianyun knew that the Angel God was dead, it was because he deduced it from his memories of his previous life. Otherwise, she wouldn't have stood by and watched the Sea God and the Asura God scheme against Qian Renxue, and she didn't even come out when the Angel God's position was shattered.
Yu Tianyun really couldn't praise the character of the Sea God and the Asura God, and he suspected that the death of the Angel God was related to these two.
After all, the authority of the angel god is justice, holiness, and judgment, which overlaps with that of the sea god and the Asura god. Perhaps the two of them colluded to kill him.
Of course, it is more likely that the Asura God did it alone. After all, the Asura God has a history of such actions, and it is best to have as few people as possible who know about it. Otherwise, if his mortal enemy, the God of Destruction, finds out, it will become a handle that the Asura God can use against him.
If Yu Tianyun chooses to inherit the position of the Asura God, it is hard to guarantee that he will not be manipulated by him, or even leave behind some hidden dangers. In addition, he has too deep a connection with the Dragon Clan and the Thunder God, which makes him dare not gamble.
He knew from his past life's memories that after Tang San became a god, he always appeared in front of everyone as the Sea God. He would not use the power of the Asura God unless absolutely necessary. Tang San himself said that he was afraid of being affected by it and losing his mind, which shows how powerful he was.
The Sea God was somewhat better off, but Yu Tianyun disliked the Sea God's position as only a first-level god. However, he planned to send his wives to Sea God Island to participate in the divine examination and try their luck.
Therefore, the only option facing him might be to create his own godhood. He was quite confident about this, as Yun Ming, 20,000 years later, was only half a step away from succeeding, and his accumulated experience was much deeper than that of Yun Ming at the same age.
Yun Ming only has nine 100,000-year spirit rings, while he has three spirit rings that can grow into million-year god-level spirit rings. In addition, his seventh, eighth, and ninth spirit rings will be at least 100,000 years old. How could he not be confident?
Although he did not intend to inherit the position of the Asura God, he still wanted to go to the City of Slaughter. The flesh and blood energy there was the best material for the evolution of his fifth soul ring, and Yu Tianyun had no psychological burden in killing evil soul masters.
Although his fifth spirit ring also involved the God of Evil, Yu Tianyun did not know whether the God of Evil was paying attention to him. Moreover, even if he was, he did not want to inherit the position of the God of Evil. Compared to the God of Evil, he would rather inherit the position of the God of Asura.
Because he knew that the evil god was ten times more disgusting than the Asura god or the sea god! He didn't want to experience the tragedy that Ji Dong and Lie Yan went through.
Getting back to the main point, Yu Tianyun's first soul ring breaking through to 100,000 years has greatly improved him. His resistance and control over lightning have been greatly enhanced, and the damage from heavenly lightning has been significantly reduced. He even feels like he's about to awaken his domain again, and this domain might be his martial soul's innate domain.
But it seems something is still missing; it hasn't fully awakened yet. Perhaps he needs to spend some time to truly understand it.
Yu Tianyun felt that his martial soul might have evolved, but it might not have evolved, because his martial soul was still the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus on the surface, but its lightning attribute was obviously stronger.
Yu Tianyun didn't know if the original Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul had an innate domain, but his grandfather, Yu Yuanzhen, had already reached level 98 and still hadn't awakened a domain. However, it could also be due to individual aptitude; Soul Masters might awaken a domain when breaking through to the Title Douluo level.
Of course, this doesn't mean that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul is weak without a domain. The dragon transformation that comes with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul is comparable to a domain. In terms of amplification alone, it is much stronger than a domain, only its range is smaller and it is limited to itself.
As for the enhancement of his martial soul's lightning attribute, Yu Tianyun believed it was related to the soul rings he had absorbed.
After all, apart from his sixth spirit ring, he had always absorbed lightning-attribute spirit rings, especially his first spirit ring, the Thunderous Hell Vine, which possessed the bloodline of the Thunder God.
Other Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Masters, compared to those with lightning attributes, place more emphasis on whether their Soul Rings possess dragon bloodlines.
Only those with dragon bloodlines can activate dragon transformation; for them, dragon transformation is more worthwhile than enhancing their lightning attribute.
According to the theory of Soul Masters, a Soul Master can make his Martial Soul stronger by absorbing a Soul Ring that is compatible with him. Therefore, his Martial Soul may have changed as well. As for whether it is the Ultimate Lightning, he really doesn't know. He only knows that his lightning is very strong, much stronger than the ordinary Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul. This may be the result of his insistence on following the path of lightning when he was a child.
Of course, all of this has little to do with the immortal herbs he absorbed before. The immortal herbs he absorbed were not those that promoted the evolution of martial souls; they all had effects on the physical body, mental strength, and soul power.
As for whether he has evolved, Yu Tianyun doesn't care much. As long as he can become stronger, isn't that enough?
Even a god-level martial soul like the Six-Winged Angel was still hammered.
