Chapter 342: Absorbing the Seventh Spirit Ring, Approaching Level 75
Yu Tianlin panted heavily as he watched Yun Xi in front of him gradually lose its vitality, its eyes filled with lifeless silence.
A moment later, a blood-red Spirit Ring rose from Yun Xi's massive body, releasing powerful Spirit Power fluctuations that made every Spirit Beast in Thunder Gorge tremble the moment they sensed it.
They all knew what this meant.
The overlord of Thunder Gorge had fallen.
When a Spirit Ring appeared, the Spirit Beast was dead.
Seeing this, Yu Tianlin finally let out a breath of relief.
Just then, Yu Yuanzhen walked over and asked with a smile, "How do you feel?"
"It truly deserves to be a True Dragon that reached the hundred thousand year level," Yu Tianlin sighed. "Even its death throes were enough to leave me in such a sorry state."
If Yun Xi had not been stunned by the aura of Yu Tianlin's Spirit Bone at the very end, preventing it from launching its final strike in time, Yu Tianlin would have been severely injured.
If even Yun Xi was this powerful, one could easily imagine how strong Yu Yuanzhen was, since he had forced Yun Xi into such a state.
One had to remember that Yu Yuanzhen had not fought Yun Xi alone. He had also needed to divide his attention to deal with Yun Xi's powerful subordinates.
Even so, Yu Yuanzhen had taken care of all of them so quickly. This level of strength was simply outrageous.
The strength Yu Yuanzhen displayed made Tianlin realize that he was still far from reaching the limit of humanity, let alone the level of a Deity above that. Therefore, even though he was the Thunder God's Inheritor, he did not become arrogant and always maintained a humble heart.
Yu Yuanzhen was very satisfied with Yu Tianlin's attitude. He looked at the Spirit Ring above Yun Xi's corpse and said, "Alright, adjust your condition, then absorb the Spirit Ring."
Yu Tianlin nodded. He quickly sat cross-legged and began adjusting his state.
From beginning to end, Yu Yuanzhen never mentioned why he had not helped Yu Tianlin block Yun Xi's final counterattack, nor did Yu Tianlin ask.
Because both of them understood.
Half an hour later, Yu Tianlin opened his eyes again.
Since he had not actually been injured and only needed to adjust his condition, and considering that a Spirit Ring would only exist for a limited time, he did not meditate for too long. Half an hour was enough.
After waking up, Yu Tianlin did not hesitate. He immediately activated his Spirit Power and drew Yun Xi's Spirit Ring toward him.
The blood-red light quickly surged into Yu Tianlin's body. Although the energy contained within it was extremely violent, Yu Tianlin's body was fully capable of enduring it.
The crucial issue was Yun Xi's resentment.
Inside Yu Tianlin's Mental Sea, a ferocious Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was thrashing wildly, trying to shatter his Mental Sea, or at the very least, throw it into complete chaos.
Yu Tianlin was not surprised by this situation at all. He did not mobilize his mental force to chase down and intercept the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon in his Mental Sea. Instead, he directly controlled his mental force to surge into the golden lightning mark on his forehead.
In response to Yu Tianlin's mental force, the golden lightning mark shone with brilliant light.
Immediately afterward, a golden illusory bolt of lightning shot straight into Yu Tianlin's Mental Sea, targeting the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon that was still thrashing violently.
In an instant, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was pierced through by the golden lightning and then dissipated with unwillingness.
Resolving the resentment during Spirit Ring absorption so easily was the special ability of a God Inheritor.
Similar to the Sea God's Sea God's Light, Yu Tianlin's ability was Thunder God's Judgment, an ability he had obtained when his first Spirit Ring reached the level of four golden patterns.
The difference between the two was that the Sea God's Light achieved its effect by releasing golden light through the trident mark on the forehead, while Yu Tianlin's Thunder God's Judgment released illusory lightning through the lightning mark on his forehead.
With Yun Xi's resentment expelled on the spiritual level, his body able to withstand the Spirit Ring's energy on the physical level, and Yu Yuanzhen protecting him from the outside, Yu Tianlin's absorption process would not encounter any accidents. It was only a matter of time.
Compared with the previous seven days and seven nights, Yu Tianlin's cultivation base had risen by ten levels this time, so the time required was much shorter. He only needed three days and three nights to finish absorbing Yun Xi's Spirit Ring.
"Ding!"
When the last wisp of blood-red light surged into Yu Tianlin's body, a soft chime seemed to ring out. Immediately afterward, massive Spirit Power erupted from Yu Tianlin's body and swept outward.
Gold-red, purple, purple, black, black, red, red.
Seven Spirit Rings appeared at the same time, circling up and down around Yu Tianlin's body.
There were seven Spirit Rings in total, and not one of them was below the thousand year level. Two of them were blood-red hundred thousand year Spirit Rings, and one was even a gold-red four hundred thousand year Spirit Ring. The age of that four hundred thousand year Spirit Ring could still continue to increase.
Yu Tianlin slowly opened his eyes. Two beams of almost solid golden light shot out from them, striking the ground in front of him and blasting two sizable pits into the earth.
Yu Tianlin paid no attention to this. He sprang up from the ground and let out a long howl that shot straight into the sky.
Because the place where he had absorbed the Spirit Ring was directly beneath the cloud vortex in Thunder Gorge, his long howl entered the vortex, causing the Thunder God's Hammer within it to tremble.
However, that was all.
The trembling of the Thunder God's Hammer was extremely faint.
Only after completely expelling the turbid Qi from his body and feeling incomparably refreshed did Yu Tianlin slowly stop his long howl.
"Grandpa, how long did it take me to absorb the Spirit Ring this time?"
He turned to look at his grandfather, who had been protecting him from the side, and asked.
"It was much faster than last time. Only three days and three nights," Yu Yuanzhen said with a smile. "Tianlin, last time you absorbed a hundred thousand year Spirit Ring, you gained six levels. How much did you gain this time?"
Hearing his grandfather bring it up, Yu Tianlin quickly sensed his current cultivation base. Then he smiled and said directly, "Level 74 and a half. I feel like I'm not far from Level 75. After returning home and cultivating for another month or two, I should be able to break through."
Yu Tianlin was very satisfied with this increase.
Although Yu Yuanzhen had expected something like this, after receiving Yu Tianlin's confirmation, he still could not help shaking his head.
"Everyone else honestly raises their Spirit Power through daily arduous cultivation, but you, kid, directly gain so many levels every time you absorb a Spirit Ring."
"Level 75 is already considered an advanced Spirit Saint, yet you'll reach it in just one or two months. If I remember correctly, you're still under eighteen, right? Will you be able to break through to Level 80 before you turn twenty?"
"Level 80 before twenty..."
Hearing his grandfather say this, Yu Tianlin was somewhat speechless.
That would be difficult.
It meant increasing by three levels each year at the Spirit Saint stage. Unless he encountered some heaven defying opportunity, it would be almost impossible.
