Chapter 422: Returning to Thunder Gorge, Target: Thunder God's Hammer!
"Big Brother, you are truly amazing. Even that powerful old man was no match for you."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm spoke admiringly beside the lit bonfire.
During the battle just now, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had been continuously launching mental attacks against Thousand Jun Douluo, but they had never achieved much effect.
Since Thousand Jun Douluo had completely withstood its continuous mental attacks, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had formed a rough judgment of his strength from that alone.
But even though Thousand Jun Douluo was that powerful, he had still been defeated by Yu Tianlin, nearly died, and could only flee in disarray. Naturally, this made Yu Tianlin's power even more obvious.
Yu Tianlin ignored Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's flattery. He was currently doing his best to recover his Spirit Power.
Seeing Yu Tianlin's attitude, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's small eyes flickered, and it suddenly said, "Big Brother, you defeated that old man, so your own condition must not be very good right now, right? Can you tell me about it? I might have a solution."
Hearing Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's words, Yu Tianlin slowly opened his eyes.
He saw through Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's little scheme at once.
"What? You want to run now?" Yu Tianlin glanced at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and said directly, "Or are you thinking of making a move against me?"
"Cough, cough. Big Brother, listen to what you're saying."
Under Yu Tianlin's gaze, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm could not help coughing twice. It turned its head away to avoid his eyes and said awkwardly, "Big Brother, you helped me solve the Heavenly Tribulation problem and brought me out of the Extreme North Land, avoiding the searches of the Ice Empress and the Titan Snow Demon King. I am immensely grateful. How could I possibly repay kindness with enmity?"
"It's good that you understand that," Yu Tianlin said. "Don't worry. As long as you follow me, I won't kill you. As you have seen, I can grow stronger by absorbing the power of Heavenly Tribulation. Your role is simply to help me attract Heavenly Tribulation."
Yu Tianlin did not want Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to constantly cause trouble, so he gave it a brief explanation before entering a meditative state to recover the Spirit Power he had consumed during his journey and battles.
"Heavenly Tribulation?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm muttered to itself.
"If that's all it is, then there's no problem."
In fact, it was also troubled by this issue. The successive Heavenly Tribulations that day had truly frightened it.
Now, if Yu Tianlin's words were true, then its Heavenly Tribulation problem could be solved, and Yu Tianlin could also gain something from the Heavenly Tribulation. This was a mutually beneficial situation.
As for its own safety, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also breathed a sigh of relief.
In Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's view, the energy contained within its body was far too vast. Even if it died, no one could absorb the Spirit Ring it produced. Since that was the case, Yu Tianlin should not resort to harming it.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm felt much more at ease, so it quietly waited there for Yu Tianlin to recover.
It took Yu Tianlin half a day to adjust his condition. After casually eating some food, he slung the Dragon Slaying Saber onto his back and headed off in a certain direction while holding Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in one hand.
Along the way, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm asked curiously, "Big Brother, where are we going?"
It had been born in the Extreme North Land, and since then, it had only eaten and slept, slept and eaten. It had never left the Extreme North Land throughout its growth, so it was very curious about the world outside.
"Thunder Gorge, a Spirit Beast habitat," Yu Tianlin did not hide his purpose and said directly. "I am going there to retrieve a Divine Artifact that belongs to me."
"Divine Artifact?"
Hearing this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm looked back at the Dragon Slaying Saber on Yu Tianlin's back and said, "Speaking of which, the saber on your back should also be a Divine Artifact, right?"
"That's right." Yu Tianlin nodded. "However, although this saber is a Divine Artifact, it has some issues and cannot perfectly unleash the power it contains."
As he spoke, Yu Tianlin could not help but sigh with emotion.
The Dragon Slaying Saber usually remained in an unsharpened state and required true dragon blood to activate it. Moreover, Yu Tianlin suspected that even after it was sharpened with true dragon blood, the power unleashed by the Dragon Slaying Saber would only be a small fraction of its full potential.
The Thunder God's Hammer he was going to retrieve on this trip was very similar. During the Dragon God War, the Thunder God's Hammer had suffered considerable damage. It looked somewhat dilapidated just from its appearance, and its power was inevitably affected as well.
Because of this, Yu Tianlin did not have a single intact Divine Artifact, neither among those he currently possessed nor those he was about to acquire.
He could only try to find a way to repair them later.
The Extreme North Land was located in the northernmost part of the Douluo Continent, while Thunder Gorge was in the northwest. The two places were not far apart, so Yu Tianlin did not spend much time reaching it.
However, instead of going directly to Thunder Gorge, Yu Tianlin first returned to the former site of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and replenished some supplies from the clan members stationed there.
Knowing that Spirit Hall was tracking his whereabouts, Yu Tianlin had avoided entering any cities along the way. His supplies had also basically been used up in the Extreme North Land, so he naturally needed to resupply here.
Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had moved near Heaven Dou City out of strategic necessity, this did not mean they had completely abandoned the original site.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had left over a hundred people to look after the original site, so the area had not become desolate due to the clan's relocation.
After having the remaining clan members inform his grandfather of his situation, Yu Tianlin took Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and headed toward Thunder Gorge.
Yu Tianlin was very familiar with Thunder Gorge, and none of the Spirit Beasts here could threaten him, so he swaggered directly into the core area.
Arriving here once more, Yu Tianlin looked up at the cloud vortex and could not help feeling a wave of emotion.
The cloud vortex high above the core area seemed unchanged, but Yu Tianlin knew that as long as his goal was achieved this time, the cloud vortex would disappear and return to normal.
After telling Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to wait below, Yu Tianlin directly spread the dragon wings on his back.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's strength was comparable to a ninety thousand year Spirit Beast, and the strongest Spirit Beast here was only ninety thousand years old, so Yu Tianlin was not worried about its safety. He directly flew toward the cloud vortex.
The power contained within the cloud vortex was astonishing. Even with Yu Tianlin's current strength, he could not force his way through it and could only activate his first Spirit Ring.
Enveloped by his first Spirit Ring, which possessed seven golden patterns, Yu Tianlin felt that the originally perilous cloud vortex was now filled with a sense of intimacy. At the very center of the cloud vortex, a voice was frantically calling out to him.
"You couldn't wait any longer either, could you?"
Feeling that call, Yu Tianlin murmured, "I will take you away this time."
The first time he came here, he saw the Thunder God's Hammer but could not move it.
The second time was to hunt the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Yun Xi. At that time, he knew his strength was still insufficient, so he did not even come up to look at the Thunder God's Hammer.
Now, on his third arrival, he finally had confidence.
