Within the coverage of the Vine Dragon's domain, every towering ancient tree emitted a faint emerald glow.
This emerald glow was precisely the life force of the ancient trees.
Under the domain's effect, countless faint lights continuously flowed into Lin Rong's body. Transformed by the Life Dragon Soul, they became pure Soul Power, replenishing his depleted Soul Power and keeping him at peak condition at all times.
On the ground.
The Titan, who had just forcefully broken free from the banyan roots by entering its true Martial Soul form and experiencing a surge in size, was once again bound by the banyan roots the very next second.
Immediately after, the Thunderclap Nether Vine's Spirit Bone skill was unleashed.
Within the lightning barrier, a dazzling azure light erupted.
Under the light, the entire barrier transformed into a boundless sea of lightning. Lightning raged, thunder roared, making it impossible to discern what was happening inside the barrier.
Several seconds later, the sea of lightning dissipated, revealing the scene within the lightning barrier.
The banyan forest was unharmed, as if the lightning had not affected them at all.
However, in the center of the banyan forest, a massive, dark pit had appeared.
The Titan, in its true Martial Soul form, was charred black. Its skin and flesh were seared and bubbling, but not a single drop of blood flowed out.
"Hoo~ Hoo~"
The Titan gasped for air, standing up from the deep pit.
The injuries on his body looked terrifying, but in reality, they did not hit any vital points. Only the surface flesh and blood had been scorched by the lightning. This level of injury was completely bearable for his physique in its true Martial Soul form.
"The power of that last attack was almost comparable to the power of a strong-attack Soul Douluo's sixth Spirit Skill."
"This kid is just a Soul King. How strong does his attribute amplification have to be to increase the power of his Spirit Skill to this extent?"
At this moment, the Titan regretted agreeing to participate in this assassination mission, secretly praying in his heart:
"Tang Xiao, Tang Xiao, hurry up and deal with that kid's butler. Otherwise, this old man might just die here today."
High in the sky.
Lin Rong looked at the Titan's injuries and was quite satisfied with the power of the Spirit Bone skill.
The current age of the Thunderclap Nether Vine Spirit Bone had grown to just over fifteen thousand years, which was three thousand years higher than the limit age for a typical Soul King's fifth Spirit Ring.
At the same time, with the two Nine Bend Vine Dragons simultaneously unleashing their first, third, and fourth Spirit Skills, coupled with the boost from his innate domain, the amplification ratio of various attributes reached an astonishing level.
Regardless of other attributes, solely focusing on Soul Power, the amplification ratio reached a staggering four hundred percent.
Lin Rong's peak Soul Power level of fifty-two, after a four-hundred percent amplification, instantly pushed his Soul Power intensity close to that of an eighty-level Soul Douluo.
Simultaneously, the amplification of the lightning elemental power under the boost of the dual Dragon's Roar Thunder Realms also increased by four hundred percent.
This placed the power of the Spirit Bone skill "Thunder Prison: Heavenly Punishment" between the fifth and sixth Spirit Skills of a strong-attack Soul Douluo.
"The power of the first stage of Thunder Prison: Heavenly Punishment, I already have a good grasp of it. I used the group attack mode to test the power of the Spirit Bone skill just now, not the single-target burst mode. Even so, it managed to injure the Titan to this extent."
"If I had used the single-target burst mode just now, this Titan, a Soul Douluo who isn't skilled in defense, would likely have ended up dead or crippled if he had tried to withstand it head-on."
The Titan's injuries allowed Lin Rong to accurately gauge his current strength.
As long as he didn't encounter a Spirit Master whose Martial Soul countered the Nine Bend Vine Dragon, Lin Rong was confident he could fight any Spirit Master below the Titled Douluo level until his Soul Power was depleted.
If the battlefield was located in a primeval forest like it was now, he could rely on his domain to have an inexhaustible source of Soul Power.
In that case, below the Titled Douluo level, regardless of whether the opponent's Martial Soul countered the Nine Bend Vine Dragon, Lin Rong was confident he could remain undefeated.
"The power of the first stage of Thunder Prison: Heavenly Punishment, I have a good idea of it. Now, let me see what power the second stage of Thunder Prison: Heavenly Punishment, 'True Form of the Thunder Dragon,' possesses!"
Thinking this, Lin Rong also turned his gaze to the Titan.
In the deep pit, the Titan suddenly felt a prickle of unease. He instinctively looked up, just in time to meet Lin Rong's scrutinizing gaze.
"Not good!"
A strong sense of crisis erupted within the Titan.
At this moment, he completely disregarded the matter of killing Lin Rong. He spread his four limbs and scrambled towards the edge of the barrier with all his might.
During this process, countless azure-purple lightning bolts appeared within the barrier.
As soon as these lightning bolts appeared, they immediately converged, and a true dragon of azure-purple lightning slowly took shape.
Boom~
The Titan threw a punch, and a massive ripple appeared on the surface of the barrier.
Boom~
With another punch, fine cracks appeared on the surface of the barrier.
Seeing this, the Titan's face lit up with joy, thinking:
"Good, one more punch and I can break this damned barrier."
Thus, the Titan raised his fist, aimed at the barrier, and prepared to throw a third punch.
However, before he could even throw the punch, a long and clear dragon's roar echoed in his ears.
The intense pain that surged into his mind caused the Titan to stop his punching motion.
The dragon roar Titan heard wasn't from the Thunder Dragon, but from Lin Rong's innate domain skill, "Evil-Breaking Dragon's Roar."
The soul shock and mental impact that Evil-Breaking Dragon's Roar inflicted on Titan prevented him from throwing a third consecutive punch.
Seizing this brief window, thunderous energy erupted from other parts of the Thunderclap Barrier, repairing the crack Titan had created.
By the time Titan's punch landed on the barrier, the crack had already been completely mended.
Boom~
The third punch only caused the barrier to ripple immensely once more.
"Damn it! So close!"
Titan was filled with both indignation and despair because, at the very moment his third punch struck the barrier, the purplish-blue Thunder Dragon had fully materialized.
Above the barrier, every scale on the Thunder Dragon's body was lifelike, appearing as solid as if it were a real, colossal dragon.
If one didn't know the truth, they wouldn't be able to tell that the giant dragon before them was condensed from thunderous elemental energy.
High in the sky, Lin Rong split his focus, his consciousness connecting through the skill and entering the Thunder Dragon's body to control its movements.
The Thunder Dragon exuded an extremely dangerous aura in Titan's eyes, making him realize he had no hope of escaping the barrier.
"With my escape route cut off, I have no choice but to fight to the death!"
A resolute and fierce glint flashed in the depths of Titan's eyes. All seven of his Spirit Rings, except for the seventh, lit up almost simultaneously.
"Roar~"
A roar erupted from Titan's throat. He propelled himself upward from the ground with his legs, ignoring the Thunder Dragon. Instead, he leaped between the numerous towering ancient trees, heading toward Lin Rong's position high in the sky.
"A good idea, but unfortunately, you won't be able to touch even a single hair on me."
Lin Rong calmly watched Titan approach. As Titan swung his fist towards him, a flash of silver light appeared, and Titan's punch struck a leaf.
Lin Rong's figure, meanwhile, materialized outside the Thunderclap Barrier.
The Thunder Dragon swiftly flew to a high altitude and, with a dragon's tail sweep, knocked the airborne Titan, who had no leverage, into the deep pit on the ground.
With a deafening boom, before Titan could even stand up from the pit, a purplish-blue beam of lightning shot from the Thunder Dragon's mouth, instantly striking Titan within the pit.
"Farewell. In your next life, remember to open your eyes wider and see people more clearly. Some people aren't worth your loyalty."
Lin Rong silently recited, and then the Thunder Dragon transformed into a swift streak of lightning, passing through Titan's body.
