Chapter 112: Absorbing a spirit ring attracts a Lightning Tribulation, what sin was committed?
"This is?!"
Bibi Dong’s expression changed slightly, and she pulled Lin Qingmo behind her.
spirit power surged, forming a pale purple barrier that enveloped them both.
The violent lightning crashed against the barrier, making a "crackling" sound.
But it could not Breakthrough.
Lin Qingmo poked his head out from behind Bibi Dong to look at that section of vine.
Within the cracks on its surface, lightning surged frantically, as if struggling, or perhaps... venting.
"Master, something seems wrong with it!"
Lin Qingmo shouted.
"Mhm."
Bibi Dong nodded, her purple eyes fixed on the vine.
"It’s releasing the accumulated lightning power within its body, but the method is wrong. It’s too violent, as if... it’s out of control."
The soaring lightning lasted for about ten minutes.
Finally, it slowly weakened.
In the end, it disappeared completely.
And the life aura of that charred vine was rapidly fading!
The lightning that had been flashing in the cracks was now dim and lusterless.
The vine itself began to wither, like a dry branch drained of moisture.
"It failed."
Lin Qingmo said in shock, "That was a lightning berserk state just now. It couldn’t control the lightning power it absorbed and suffered a backlash!"
Bibi Dong noticed it too.
She dispelled the barrier, feeling the vine’s increasingly weak life aura.
"Indeed."
She said softly, "It can’t hold on anymore. Its vitality is draining rapidly; it can only live for a few more breaths at most."
Looking at the vine, Lin Qingmo suddenly felt a bit uneasy.
Such a tenacious life, struggling for tens of thousands of years, surviving Lightning Tribulation after Lightning Tribulation.
Only to die at the hands of the power it absorbed itself.
Fate is truly ironic.
"A-Qing."
Bibi Dong’s voice rang out.
"Are you going to act?"
She looked at Lin Qingmo, her gaze calm.
"Now is the best time. It’s on the verge of death, its resistance is at its weakest, and the danger of absorbing the spirit ring might also be reduced."
Lin Qingmo took a deep breath and nodded.
"Yes, Master, I’ll have to trouble you."
Bibi Dong raised her hand.
A powerful surge of spirit power was released, transforming into a massive purple palm that grabbed toward the vine on the cliff.
The vine seemed to sense danger and instinctively released its last trace of lightning power.
A weak flicker of electricity tried to resist.
But before Bibi Dong’s spirit power palm, this bit of resistance was like a mantis trying to stop a carriage.
"Crack."
With a gentle pull of the spirit power palm, the entire section of vine was uprooted.
Soon, Bibi Dong threw the vine onto the ground.
At this moment, the Thunderous Hell Vine had completely lost its ability to resist.
More and more cracks appeared on its surface, and its life aura was as weak as a candle in the wind, liable to go out at any moment.
"A-Qing, do it."
Bibi Dong said.
"Alright!"
Lin Qingmo stepped forward.
He released his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul toward the charred vine on the ground.
Emerald green vines surged from his palm, slowly coiling around the Thunderous Hell Vine.
spirit power was activated.
The Blue Silver Grass suddenly tightened!
"Sizzle—!"
A faint sound rang out.
The Thunderous Hell Vine gave one last tremor and then completely lost its life aura.
A rich black spirit ring slowly rose from its body.
Hovering in mid-air, it emitted a majestic surge of energy; the color of the spirit ring was very deep, a shiny black.
Occasionally, blue flashes of electricity flickered on the surface, crackling.
"As expected, it’s a ten-thousand-year one."
Lin Qingmo felt the violent power contained within the spirit ring, his heart racing.
That power held the violence of lightning and the tenacity of life.
Two completely different attributes were interwoven, forming a unique beauty full of destructive power... Deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, the thunder had just stopped.
Lin Qingmo sat down on the ground.
He had to quickly bring his state to its Peak.
Who knew exactly how many years this ten-thousand-year Thunderous Hell Vinespirit ring actually was?
He couldn’t afford to be careless.
He gave a low shout and activated his First Spirit Ability: Azure Soul-Bathing Barrier, and his Third Spirit Ability: Blue Silver Spirit Tree!
The barrier expanded.
spirit power surged, and a glowing blue light tree grew from the ground, spreading a soft Rejuvenation Field.
Buffs stacked to the max!
He was now completely enveloped in a rich life aura; compared to the charred debris around him that was still crackling with electric sparks, it was like being in two different Worlds.
"Master."
Lin Qingmo opened his eyes and looked at Bibi Dong, who had been guarding him nearby.
"I’ll have to trouble you to watch over me."
Bibi Dong didn’t say anything, only nodding slightly.
An invisible spirit power barrier quietly expanded, isolating this area from the outside.
"Rest assured, with me here, I won’t let anyone disturb you."
Her voice was cool, yet it carried a reassuring power.
"Got it, then I’ll begin."
Lin Qingmo took a deep breath, no longer hesitating.
With a thought, he guided the hovering black spirit ring to slowly approach him.
The moment the spirit ring touched his panel.
"Sizzle—!"
Electricity flowed through his entire body.
This sensation was simply... intense!
Lin Qingmo’s teeth chattered, veins bulged on his forehead, and cold sweat poured out like rain, instantly soaking his clothes.
He felt as if his Soul was being electrocuted...
"Damn... this thing is really strong..."
He cursed in his heart.
But relying on a surge of ruthlessness and the warm current of recovery constantly rising within him, he stubbornly endured this soul shock.
The energy of the spirit ring was also being absorbed and integrated through Fusion.
It seemed the age of this spirit ring was within his range of tolerance.
An hour passed, and it looked like it was about to succeed.
Suddenly, a change occurred!
"Rumble!"
The sky above, which had already cleared, darkened again without warning.
Dark clouds rushed in from all directions like a crowd at a market, piling up thick in the blink of an eye.
"Rumble..."
Muffled thunder rolled in the clouds, sounding like the roar of a giant beast.
Dazzling blue-white electric snakes darted frantically through the ink-black sea of clouds.
A terrifying pressure descended from the sky, firmly locking onto Lin Qingmo on the ground.
It felt like being targeted in the head by the Grim Reaper with a sniper rifle.
"Lightning Tribulation?!"
Bibi Dong’s face changed instantly.
She didn’t understand why absorbing a spirit ring would attract being struck by lightning.
The spirit power around her suddenly boiled, and nine spirit rings lit up as she prepared to intervene forcibly.
"Don’t! Master!"
Lin Qingmo squeezed the words out from between his teeth.
He looked up at the increasingly oppressive thunderclouds, a flash of madness in his eyes.
"Let me try!"
This Thunderous Hell Vine was something that grew by absorbing lightning in the first place.
Its spirit ring attracting a Lightning Tribulation might... not be a bad thing?
With this suspicion in mind, Lin Qingmo intended to endure this wave of Lightning Tribulation head-on.
Bibi Dong’s movements paused, and she looked at him in shock.
The young man’s face was full of solemnity, but his eyes were frighteningly bright, practically screaming "I want to court death."
She bit her lip and ultimately did not act.
However, the spirit power around her body gathered to its Peak, and her fingers tightened slightly, ready to pull him out of the lightning the moment he couldn’t hold on.
"Sizzle... sizzle..."
The flashes in the clouds grew denser, and the energy accumulated to its Peak.
Boom!
The whole World seemed to fall silent for an instant.
Immediately after.
"CRACK—!!!!"
A bucket-thick purple heavenly bolt tore through the firmament, carrying an aura of total destruction as it slammed straight down!
The target: Lin Qingmo!
