Chapter 57: The Second Martial Soul Fusion Skill
"Boom!"
At the same time, an oppressive aura, so suffocating it made it hard to breathe, spread from the two of them in all directions.
Looking up, the originally clear sky had now been completely covered by dark clouds.
The thick clouds stacked upon each other, resembling a massive black mountain on the verge of collapsing, giving off a strong sense of pressure.
Strange black lightning flickered intermittently within the clouds, and distant thunder could be heard rumbling, as if an apocalyptic calamity was about to descend.
"This..."
Just as Jiang Li was stunned by this terrifying scene, a phantom figure of a man slowly appeared behind Lei Yao.
The figure was faint and indistinct, as if from another time and space, surrounded by violent thunderous power. Every flicker of lightning seemed to twist the space around it.
The man was walking in the air, exuding a magnificent aura, and appeared to be the god of thunder who ruled this world.
He held the Life God Tree in his left hand steadily, with the tree's branches and leaves flickering with strange light under the reflection of the lightning.
In his right hand, he tightly gripped the Nine Heavens God Tower, and the blue light radiating from the tower mixed with the thunderous power, creating dazzling sparks.
The violent thunderous power surged outward from him, causing the surrounding space to emit a series of unbearable "crackling" sounds with each tremor.
"Divine Punishment · Ten Thousand Tribulations Thunder Prison!"
Lei Yao howled toward the sky, his voice like rolling thunder that reverberated through the heavens and earth.
With that roar, the aura around him surged to its peak, and boundless thunderous power gushed out of his body, like an endless river of lightning.
The black lightning twisted like fierce dragons, soaring through the air and crashing forward.
Wherever they passed, everything was destroyed.
"What immense power!"
Jiang Li felt the terrifying thunderous aura rushing toward him, and his heart began to pound uncontrollably.
Without hesitation, he focused all his soul power and quickly retreated, trying to distance himself from the range of this terrifying attack.
However, even as he moved farther away, the lingering aura of the thunder seemed like an invisible giant hand, tightly gripping his throat.
It felt as though a massive mountain was pressing on his back, making every breath extremely difficult.
Fortunately, this terrifying state did not last long.
It seemed that Lei Yao and Ling Yun had sensed the difficulty of controlling this power and decisively withdrew from the Martial Soul Fusion state.
As they withdrew, the terrifying thunderous power gradually dissipated, and the dark clouds in the sky slowly parted, with sunlight once again shining down on the earth.
Soon, Jiang Li calmed his breathing, quickly walked to Lei Yao's side, and, full of curiosity and inquiry, asked, "What is the effect of this Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
Lei Yao panted slightly, but a proud smile spread across his face.
He spoke slowly, "This Martial Soul Fusion Skill of mine is called 'Divine Punishment · Ten Thousand Tribulations Thunder Prison.' It can summon the wrath of heaven and earth, transforming it into an eternal Thunder Prison! It calls forth the Thunder God's phantom and creates a thunder prison barrier. Any enemy who enters this barrier will be subject to the 'Ten Thousand Tribulations' state."
"With every thunderstrike, a chain lightning storm is triggered, continuing until the target is utterly obliterated, with no hope of survival!"
Lei Yao's voice was full of dominance and confidence.
This Martial Soul Fusion Skill perfectly inherited the wild thunderous power from his Nine Heavens God Tower martial soul.
It brought the destructive force of thunder to its ultimate limit.
"So terrifying."
Jiang Li couldn't help but gasp, his face showing an expression of shock.
Reflecting on the powerful fusion skill Ling Yun had led earlier, he thought he had a full understanding of their strength.
But now, witnessing Lei Yao's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, he realized that he had still underestimated them.
Jiang Li understood that with his own perceptiveness, the range of Lei Yao's fusion skill was extraordinarily vast.
Once a soul master was trapped within it, there would be no escape and no chance of survival.
Moreover, the ones performing this Martial Soul Fusion Skill were two Limit Douluos, whose strength already placed them at the pinnacle of Douluo Continent.
"You two should take the time to practice your Martial Soul Fusion Skills, and try to unleash their full power."
"In a while, we will head to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, where we may encounter some backups left by a God King, so be careful."
Jiang Li spoke seriously, his eyes revealing a hint of worry.
He was well aware of the dangers of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes. Not only did it contain the most extreme ice and fire power in the world, but it was also highly likely to conceal various traps and backups left by Tang San.
He hoped Lei Yao and Ling Yun could quickly familiarize themselves with and master this powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill to avoid unexpected surprises at critical moments.
Just as Jiang Li finished speaking, a phantom figure suddenly appeared beside him.
The figure was blurry and ethereal, yet emitted a mysterious and powerful aura.
Jiang Li was taken aback, turned his head, and saw that it was the God of Willow.
"God of Willow."
Jiang Li's expression flickered slightly, but he quickly recovered and gave a slight nod, signaling to the God of Willow.
"I just saw the Martial Soul Fusion Skills you two performed, and the power they released is indeed invincible in this world," the God of Willow's voice echoed like music, slowly resonating in the air.
She glanced over at Lei Yao and Ling Yun, her eyes revealing a trace of admiration.
"You two, one practicing the way of life and the other practicing the way of thunder, have already surpassed the extreme attributes you mentioned, gradually approaching the very essence of life and thunder."
The God of Willow narrowed her eyes slightly, seemingly sensing the power fluctuations emanating from the two of them.
"I have some insights into the way of life and the way of thunder. I hope they will bring you some benefit."
Saying this, the God of Willow gently raised her right hand and waved it slowly in the air.
"Whoosh, whoosh!"
In an instant, two streaks of light shot from her hand like shooting stars, directly entering the bodies of Lei Yao and Ling Yun.
Lei Yao and Ling Yun immediately felt a warm flow spread throughout their bodies, and a flash of spiritual light passed through their minds.
The next moment, the two of them sat cross-legged on the spot, closing their eyes and entering a state of profound insight.
Their faces showed expressions of focus and immersion as they began to feel and comprehend the cultivation insights the God of Willow had bestowed upon them.
"Thank you."
Jiang Li's expression tightened, and he felt deeply grateful to the God of Willow.
He understood how powerful the God of Willow truly was. Though the figure of the God of Willow before them was just a projection, it carried the memories and wisdom of the true body.
This opportunity alone would allow Lei Yao and Ling Yun to benefit for a lifetime.
