Looking at the deadlock before him, Lin Chen felt a tightness in his chest and wanted to shout to the heavens that the world was unjust!
He was trapped between three forty-thousand-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tigers, which were comparable to those of a hundred-thousand-year-old tiger, and three ferocious and powerful Thousand-Pound Ant Kings. He had nowhere to advance or retreat, and he had essentially sent himself into a cage of certain death.
A moment later, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger slowly withdrew the dark domain that had been suppressing the entire area. Its scarlet tiger eyes scanned back and forth between Lin Chen and the three brothers, the Thousand-Pound Ant King. Its body was filled with evil energy, vigilance, and ferocity.
Meanwhile, the three brothers of the Thousand-Pound Ant King opposite them also bared their teeth, their giant jaws opening and closing with a loud thud, their eighty thousand years of soul power fluctuations making no attempt to conceal them. They stared at Lin Chen while remaining wary of the strange and eerie tiger in front of them.
For a moment, an eerie stalemate ensued in the forest.
However, this stalemate did not last long.
The three brothers, Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and Thousand-Pound Ant King, stared at each other for a few breaths, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding without words. The next second, all the fierce gazes were locked onto Lin Chen!
Lin Chen cursed inwardly on the spot, almost swearing out loud.
His worst fears came true!
In the laws of the Star Dou Great Forest, even though soul beasts fight and are hostile to each other, once a common enemy, human soul masters, appears, all grudges will be temporarily set aside and they will unite against the common enemy!
These two powerful groups, who were previously wary of each other, have now chosen to join forces without hesitation.
Let's join forces and kill this human who trespassed into the core area first, then slowly fight over his corpse!
Lin Chen felt a cold sweat pour down his back, and every muscle in his body was tense to the limit.
They were besieged and attacked by the three brothers, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the Thousand-Pound Ant King.
This time, we've truly reached the brink of death!
Now Lin Chen fully understands that begging for mercy is useless, there is no way to escape, and compromise means certain death.
Surrounded by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in front and the three brothers of the Thousand-Pound Ant King behind, he couldn't see even a sliver of hope for survival.
Since he was going to die anyway, he was determined to defy fate and fight one last time, determined not to let these soul beasts have their way!
"Since you've forced me into this situation... then let's all perish together!"
A purple-gold divine light suddenly burst forth in Lin Chen's eyes, and his bones emitted a thunderous crack. An ancient divine pressure that surpassed that of mortal soul beasts erupted from the depths of his soul!
Thor's bloodline, fully unleashed!
In an instant, the world changed color.
The pale blue and silver aura was completely suppressed, and Lin Chen's entire body was engulfed in flowing purple-gold divine lightning. His hair stood on end, turning into the color of lightning bolts, and ancient and mysterious lightning god patterns appeared on his skin, making him look like a god descending to earth.
The blue-silver wings on its back were completely soaked in lightning, turning into lightning-patterned blue crystal wings. With each flap, a swathe of lightning fell, and the whispers of the ancient thunder god echoed in the air. The earth within a hundred meters trembled under the divine power.
Above the back of his head, a divine halo, riddled with cracks yet containing world-destroying lightning power, slowly rotated—
Thor's Rings have appeared in the world!
This was his last trump card.
The reason why they hadn't dared to use it was because this power was too dazzling and too domineering, enough to penetrate the layers of barriers of the Star Dou Great Forest, directly alarm the ten ferocious beasts sleeping at the bottom of the Lake of Life, and even awaken the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, the ruler of the soul beasts.
Once discovered, their fate—life or death—is entirely uncertain.
But now, Lin Chen has no choice.
He's gambling—
After sensing the divine power of the Thor lineage, the ferocious beasts at the bottom of the gambling lake, out of fear of the Silver Dragon King, dared not easily kill him!
Lightning shot into the sky, and divine power was overwhelming.
Lin Chen held Thor's Hammer, surrounded by thunder dragons, his eyes cold and godlike as he stared directly at the four ferocious beasts before him.
Even if I cannot kill you today, I will make you pay a terrible price!
Lin Chen leaped into the air, his figure soaring straight into the sky. Purple-gold divine lightning rolled around him like a tide, and the pressure of the Thunder God bloodline pressed down like the sky, completely enveloping the entire area.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the three brothers, the Thousand-Pound Ant King, below instantly froze in place. Their originally ferocious and overwhelming aura suddenly dissipated, completely suppressed by this soul-deep shock. They did not understand what a Thunder God was, but they could clearly smell the divine-level bloodline aura flowing within Lin Chen's body—a supreme pressure that surpassed all soul beasts, even those of 100,000-year-old ferocious beasts, making them instinctively feel fear and submission.
Lin Chen stood in the center of the lightning, one hand raised high. The Thunder God's Hammer swelled in the wind high in the sky, and the purple-gold divine lightning wrapped around its body seemed to have attracted thunderclouds from the nine heavens, darkening the entire sky. The ancient and majestic Thunder God's Ring above his head, covered with cracks, suddenly burst out with dazzling divine light. The ring swirled, emitting ancient and vast thunderous chants.
"Divine Skill: Thor's Hammer!"
Each word was spoken slowly and deliberately, as if a divine punishment had been inflicted.
The next instant, an enormous thunder hammer, formed from pure Thor's power, descended from the sky with earth-shattering force! There were no fancy variations, no superfluous techniques; this strike was pure, overwhelming power of the gods!
Boom! ...
A terrifying shockwave of lightning swept wildly from its point of impact, instantly turning towering ancient trees into ashes, cracking the earth into countless ravines, and engulfing everything in a purple sea of lightning.
The three brothers, Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and Thousand-Pound Ant King, didn't even have time to think of dodging before they were hit head-on by this divine skill.
The Dark Demon God Tiger's eerily black fur was scorched by lightning, its flesh splitting open in several places, and for the first time, true fear appeared in its scarlet tiger eyes. The three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings' incredibly hard carapaces exploded, riddled with fine cracks, as lightning drilled into their bodies, paralyzing them and causing them to collapse to the ground, convulsing. All four ferocious beasts were wounded, their auras extremely weak, and they were unable to pursue for the time being.
Having landed a successful blow, Lin Chen showed no hesitation.
He had deliberately reserved a trace of soul power before making his move. Now, taking advantage of the chaotic gap caused by the divine skill's explosion, he fully unfurled his lightning-patterned blue-silver wings, transforming them into a fleeting streak of purple-gold light, and flew straight towards the depths of the Lake of Life without looking back.
When the sea of lightning dissipated, the three brothers, Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and Thousand-Pound Ant King, struggled to their feet, but Lin Chen had already vanished from the sky.
Lin Chen staggered as he flew towards the depths of the Lake of Life. With each flap of his wings, a tearing pain shot through his chest, and he couldn't help but cough up several mouthfuls of blood.
His soul power was already on the verge of exhaustion, and the attack just now forcibly drained the source power of the Thunder God's Ring. At this moment, he felt his meridians groaning all over his body. The ring above his head, which was already covered with cracks, dimmed a bit, and the cracks spread and expanded, looking like it would collapse at any moment.
Lin Chen's mind was clear—
If the source is forcibly activated again, this hard-won Thunder God Ring will surely shatter completely and never be restored.
He suppressed the surging blood within him, slowed his pace slightly, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and gazed towards the misty white fog surrounding the Lake of Life, muttering to himself:
"I wonder... if Da Ming and Er Ming sensed the divine power fluctuations just now and rushed over?"
The power unleashed by that divine skill just now was enough to shake half of the core area of the star system, and the power of the Thunder God was even more domineering and unparalleled.
Given the sensory range of the Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python, there was absolutely no way they wouldn't have noticed.
Now, his only chance of survival lies deep beneath that lake.
At this moment, the shores of the Lake of Life deep within the Starry Sky Forest are tranquil and peaceful.
This lake is the most sacred and central place in the entire Star Dou Great Forest. Its surface is as smooth as a mirror, shrouded in mist, and countless rare soul beasts inhabit it. Beneath a towering ancient tree on the lakeshore, two true kings reside—the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.
They are the absolute rulers of this forest, the strongest among the hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts.
However, at this moment, the two emperors were slightly taken aback, their huge heads turning towards the core area, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.
The Titan Ape suddenly raised its head, its rough voice echoing through the forest: "Brother, did you feel it? That power just now!"
The Azure Bull Python's deep eyes flickered slightly. It could clearly feel a terrifying energy fluctuation exploding in its core area like a thunderclap. Although it didn't last long and was far away, the aura was unusually domineering. It slowly spoke, its voice deep and ancient, carrying a subtle tremor: "Second brother, although that power just now hadn't truly reached the divine level, it already possessed a portion of the divine power... I can feel the bloodline within me trembling wildly!"
The Titan Ape was slightly taken aback.
It knew perfectly well that its elder brother, the Azure Bull Python, possessed a portion of the bloodline of an ancient dragon, making him incomparably noble. Even its elder brother trembled at this; just how terrifying must the source of that power be?
"Big brother, you stay here and guard this place, I'll go check it out!" The Titan Ape made a decisive decision, its body surging with violent soul power, clearly ready to set off.
The Azure Bull Python remained silent for a moment, its massive body slowly coiling around it. Finally, it nodded and said in a deep voice, "Go, but be careful. That power... is very strange. It's like a human's, yet it carries a divine might that I find terrifying."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Titan Ape let out a deep roar, and with a flicker of its body, it transformed into a golden afterimage, rushing towards the battlefield between the core area and the Lake of Life at an incredible speed.
At this moment, the deep-sea dragon palace at the bottom of the Lake of Life is silent and still, with huge pearl shells embedded in the rock walls, emitting a soft, ethereal light.
The Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, lay quietly on a bed made of millennia-old jade. A simple white dress draped her exquisite figure; her skin was whiter than snow, whiter than jade, and her long hair, like a waterfall, cascaded down the jade bed, disappearing into the depths of the lake. Her beauty was breathtaking, yet her brows held a languid nobility born of long slumber. At this moment, her eyes were slightly open, her pupils seemingly containing an entire galaxy and a vast ocean, silently observing the breathtaking clash and ripples on the lake's surface through the barrier of the water. Her aura was restrained, like a slumbering beast; even unawakened, she possessed an imposing aura that commanded the submission of all beasts.
Standing beside her was Di Tian, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, the leader of the Ten Ferocious Beasts.
He wore a tight-fitting, pure black robe, the fabric sharply tailored, subtly shimmering with the sheen of dragon scales. His figure was as upright as a pine tree, his face cold and stern, his features sharply defined. His signature golden vertical pupils gleamed with a sharp, cold light in the dark depths of the lake, his aura as deep and unfathomable as an abyss, seemingly capable of swallowing all light. Simply standing there, he was like an unshakeable black mountain, radiating an absolute majesty that surpassed all other soul beasts.
Di Tian bowed slightly, a hint of solemnity flashing in his golden vertical pupils, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, that fluctuation just now... was the aura of the Thunder God."
Gu Yuena slowly closed her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings. Her tone was calm yet carried an unquestionable supreme authority: "It's not Thor. Thor has long since fallen, and the realm of gods has already changed hands. The one who just appeared should be Thor's successor."
Di Tian frowned slightly, a fierce glint flashing in his golden pupils, and asked, "Then, my lord, should we send someone to kill him? To nip it in the bud and eliminate any future troubles."
Gu Yuena shook her head slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips: "I am still recovering from my serious injuries and my foundation is unstable. It would be unwise to rashly alarm that inheritor, or even... attract the attention of the God Realm."
She paused, her previously languid gaze suddenly becoming profound: "Di Tian, I'm going into seclusion to recuperate. Keep an eye on what that Thunder God's successor is planning. Report back to me after he leaves the Lake of Life."
"Yes, my lord." Di Tian replied respectfully, lowered his body slightly, and then transformed into an invisible black mist, silently disappearing into the undercurrents at the bottom of the lake.
Gu Yuena, lying on the bed, slowly closed her eyes again, her aura instantly returning to deathly stillness, as if she had never woken up, continuing her deep sleep. Only her slightly furrowed brows betrayed that she was not completely unaware of the sudden power of the Thunder God.
