Chapter 236: Yu Tianming

Thin black arcs of electricity flickered across Tie Li's body; Black Thunder is of extremely high quality, the leyline lightning of Thunderbright Valley does little to augment Black Thunder, but it truly refines Tie Li's physique.

After months of cultivation in Thunderbright Valley, the greatest improvement was his physique.

Originally, within Inner Baidi, he absorbed the primal qi of a Plant Soul Beast, raising his Soul Power Level, but he did not fully assimilate it, leaving residual primal qi inside his body.

By harnessing the leyline lightning of Thunderbright Valley, he completely absorbed the primal qi to fortify his physique, enhancing all attribute aspects.

"It's been two months already; why haven't any disciples of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Sect shown any sign? Could it be they don't intend to reclaim the arena?"

It has been a full two months since his last duel with Lei Guang.

Tie Li had expected disciples of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Sect to come trouble him, but instead he cultivated in peace for two months.

"You're strong; no wonder they aren't your opponents."

Just said that, and they arrived?

A deep voice sounded dozens of meters behind him; as Tie Li turned, he saw a blue‑white interwoven Lightning Light flash into existence at that spot.

The newcomer resembled Yu Tianheng by about seventy percent, towering in build, with strands of Lightning Light streaming from his eyes.

Yu Tianming is a collateral disciple of the Lan Dian Ba Wang Long Family, and his Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Weapon Soul leans toward thunder and lightning power.

It is precisely because Yu Tianming wields extremely strong thunder and lightning power that he can sense the might of Black Thunder.

Tie Li narrowed his eyes slightly, also feeling the opponent's intractability.

His thunder and lightning is on the same tier as Black Thunder, infinitely close to the Ultimate Attribute.

Although both are near‑ultimate thunder and lightning, the attributes of their thunder and lightning differ.

Yu Tianming's thunder and lightning is a domineering, ferocious force saturated with the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Weapon Soul, while Tie Li's Black Thunder is the madness and destruction of the Yin Lei Demon Dragon King, with an added corrosive trait.

"Let me introduce myself: Yu Tianming, martial soul Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus, Level 67, Strong Attack-type Battle Soul Emperor," Yu Tianming said.

"Tie Li, Weapon Soul Thunder Dragon Hammer, Level 63, Strong Attack-type Battle Soul Emperor."

Yu Tianming reached Level 67 at thirty‑six years old; his talent is far more than it merely appears.

The early cultivation of an Ultimate martial soul is extremely slow; Yu Tianming's Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Weapon Soul possesses a certain trait of the Ultimate martial soul, making his early cultivation painfully arduous.

Even so, he still reached Level 67 at thirty‑six, and the Lan Dian Ba Wang Long Family holds great expectations for Yu Tianming, providing ample resources in support.

Both erupted with soul power around them; when their soul powers collided, they simultaneously released their martial souls and Soul Rings.

They appeared to have the same two yellow, two purple, and two black Soul Rings, but in Soul Ring quality, Tie Li undoubtedly held the advantage.

The dracification state Yu Tianming entered differs markedly from Yu Tianheng's dracification.

In dracified form, Yu Tianming resembles armor cloaked in thunder.

Yu Tianming leapt upward like a flash of a startling thunderclap, his ferocious thunder bearing a rolling momentum.

"When"

Tie Li swung the Weapon Soul Thunder Dragon Hammer, colliding with Yu Tianming's dragon claw; for a moment, the thunder and lightning power between them affected the thunder and lightning throughout Thunderbright Valley.

"Sss? What's happening, why does the leyline thunder and lightning fluctuate in strength?"

"Do you feel it? It seems two extremely strong thunder and lightning forces are colliding there."

"Shall we go over and take a look?"

The Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Sect's disciples, cultivating within Thunderbright Valley, are highly sensitive to thunder and lightning attributes and immediately detected the anomaly.

Yu Tianming's first, third, and fourth Soul Rings ignited, all Amplification Soul Techniques, greatly boosting his burst and thunder power.

The Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Weapon Soul is called the world's number-one beast martial soul, and that claim is not without reason.

Possessing the Weapon Soul Thunder Dragon Hammer, Tie Li still felt pressure from Yu Tianming.

The first and third Soul Rings lit up, followed closely by the fourth Soul Ring.

The Weapon Soul Thunder Dragon Hammer surged instantly, like a true form of a vessel soul; Tie Li grasped the hammer head and slammed it toward the Yu Tianming bathed in Lightning Light.

"Boom—Boom—"

"Sizzle—"

The collision of Black Thunder with the blue‑white interwoven thunder and lightning generated aftershocks like whiplash bolts of thunder, shooting outward in all directions.

The moment the two were blasted apart by each other's attacks, they immediately gathered momentum and collided again.

After several successive rounds, the combat aftershocks each caused abnormally severe destruction to the surrounding terrain.

The Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Sect disciples who had come to watch nearly fell into the combat aftershocks, almost sustaining serious injuries, and were forced to retreat from the area.

Just as Yu Tianming contemplated how to break the stalemate, he noticed Tie Li's three major Soul Rings dimming.

"Is he giving up the struggle?"

Yu Tianming's initially puzzled gaze, as Tie Li's Fifth Soul Ring lit up, gradually turned to shock.

The absolute pressure of the Ultimate Attribute— even though his martial soul is the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus, facing the Ultimate Attribute still gives a sense of suppression.

"Is this your tactic?" Yu Tianming's eyes hardened; the Ultimate Attribute is also the goal he pursues.

With the amplification of the Ultimate Attribute, Yu Tianming can no longer seize the advantage.

His Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Weapon Soul leans toward thunder power, so the suppressive effect on him becomes even more pronounced.

The two collided again; the dragon claw imbued with thunder power faced the Ultimate Attribute of the Weapon Soul Thunder Dragon Hammer, giving him no advantage.

Each hammer strike, the attribute suppression makes Yu Tianming especially uncomfortable.

"Boom—"

"Puff—Sizzle—"

Yu Tianming was hurled backward, wounded, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

His outer body was originally a thick layer of thunder power, but now the blue‑white thunder is being corroded by Black Thunder, and its glow is gradually dimming.

He looked up at Tie Li with a hint of resolve; his Sixth Soul Ring suddenly burst forth with a profound radiance.

His Sixth Soul Ring comes from a Soul Beast carefully selected by a sect Elder for him; it is said this Soul Beast carries the bloodline of a Super Soul Beast within its body.

The effect of the Sixth Soul Technique can nearly double Yu Tianming's strength.

"In order to obtain this soul skill, I actually stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest for a full three months."

Tie Li sensed a dangerous aura on Yu Tianming's body, his brows furrowed, and he immediately launched a fierce attack.

Sixth soul skill, Thunder Prison!

With Yu Tianming's whole body as the center, Lei Bai's thunder and lightning power envelops everything around.

Thunder Prison is not a domain soul skill, but its effect surpasses that of a domain.

In Thunder Prison, Yu Tianming's Thunder and Lightning Attribute greatly increases, soul skill effect increases by 100%, suppressing the enemy's attribute by 20%.

Tie Li can feel a sense of oppression, his own attribute is weakening,.

Under the amplification of Thunder Prison, the effects of the previous three great Amplification Soul Techniques increase by 100%, plus the Thunder and Lightning Attribute increased by Thunder Prison.

At this moment, Yu Tianming also has a chance to touch the ultimate level, but it will soon fade; the Ultimate Attribute is not easily obtained.
