Chapter 290: The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's Harvest
Within Thunder Gorge, the Third Elder sat cross-legged, absorbing his 9th Spirit Ring.
The process naturally released powerful spirit power fluctuations, which soon attracted nearby Spirit Beasts.
Fortunately, after hunting the Thunderclap Tremor Lizard, they had already retreated a long distance toward the outer region of Thunder Gorge for safety. Their current location was generally an area where newly advanced 10,000-year Spirit Beasts were active. Although the disturbance from absorbing a Spirit Ring did attract some of them, none were particularly powerful. With Yu Luomian standing guard, they were all quickly driven away, so there should not be any real danger.
Since the Third Elder was focused on absorption and Yu Luomian was acting as Protector, Yu Tianlin had nothing to do and could only wait.
From time to time, he looked up at the rumbling thunderclouds high above. At other times, he glanced at the Third Elder, waiting for his grandfather to return.
Yu Tianlin was not worried about Yu Yuanzhen's safety. Although Yu Yuanzhen had stayed behind alone to cover their retreat, with his strength, even if all the Spirit Beasts in the core region of Thunder Gorge surrounded him, he could still withdraw safely.
Thus, Yu Tianlin could only continue waiting in boredom.
After quite some time, before Yu Tianlin noticed anything unusual, Yu Luomian suddenly moved.
He abruptly turned his head toward the core region of Thunder Gorge, clearly sensing something approaching.
Yu Tianlin was startled and quickly followed his gaze. In the next moment, a figure flashed out from that direction. It was Yu Yuanzhen.
"Grandfather, you're finally back." Seeing Yu Yuanzhen return safely, Yu Tianlin immediately got up and went to meet him. "How was it? Were you injured?"
Yu Luomian also asked, "Big Brother, how is the situation?"
Although both of them had full confidence in Yu Yuanzhen, concern still showed on their faces the moment he returned.
Yu Yuanzhen first nodded to Yu Luomian, then explained, "Don't worry, I'm fine. How could those Spirit Beasts possibly stop me?"
"Although that fellow Yun Xi was furious, there was nothing it could do to me. Besides, this is not the first time we have done something like this. It is basically used to it by now."
"Also, Yun Xi knows its limits. It understands that it is not my opponent, and the Thunderclap Tremor Lizard we killed this time was not even one of its direct descendants, so there was no reason for it to fight me to the death. If it really insisted on pushing things too far, the one who would suffer in the end would only be itself."
Yu Tianlin had heard Yu Yuanzhen mention it before. The name of that 90,000-year Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was Yun Xi.
Ordinary Spirit Beasts usually did not have names, but as a true Dragon, it naturally did.
According to Yu Yuanzhen, when he covered their retreat just now, he had indeed been surrounded and attacked by numerous Spirit Beasts, including the 90,000-year Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon itself. Still, those Spirit Beasts had not truly gone mad and fought without regard for consequences, so Yu Yuanzhen had escaped without much effort.
"It's good that you're fine." After hearing Yu Yuanzhen's explanation, Yu Luomian nodded, then looked toward the Third Elder, who was still seated cross-legged and absorbing his Spirit Ring. "The Third Elder has been absorbing his Spirit Ring for quite a while now. It looks like things are going smoothly. He should be finishing soon."
Yu Yuanzhen smiled as well. "The Third Elder has successfully broken through to the Titled Douluo realm this time. This means our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan now has 3 Titled Douluo overseeing it. In terms of numbers, we have already surpassed the Clear Sky Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. If not for the current instability in the Spirit Master world, where the Upper Three Sects should value peace and mutual support, I would have already proposed a clan challenge and taken the title of the number 1 clan in the world."
Yu Tianlin stood to the side and did not interrupt, but hearing these words from his grandfather still made him curl his lips inwardly.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was one thing. They did indeed have only 2 Titled Douluo.
But the Clear Sky Clan was different. After so many years of seclusion, the Clear Sky Clab should already have 7 Titled Douluo. Yu Yuanzhen was simply working with outdated information and still believed the Clear Sky Clan had only 2.
That was why Yu Yuanzhen was so confident now, convinced that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan already had the qualifications to claim the position of the world's number 1 clan.
Still, it did not really matter.
Yu Tianlin believed that before long, whether in the number of Titled Douluo or in top-end battle strength, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would definitely surpass the Clear Sky Clan. Since that would happen sooner or later, claiming the title a little early was hardly a problem.
Thus, Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian continued talking while staying alert to the surroundings and protecting the Third Elder. As time passed, the Third Elder's absorption of the 9th Spirit Ring finally reached its final stage.
Wave after wave of powerful spirit power fluctuations erupted from his body. The surging aura wrapped him in crackling lightning, while the originally illusory Dragon Horn on the right side of his head gradually became solid.
Suddenly, a high-pitched Dragon roar shot into the sky. Blue-purple lightning exploded across the gorge, and in the next instant, a gigantic Dragon rose into the air, leaving behind a streak of blue-purple light.
At the very front of that streak was a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon around 20 to 30 meters long. Its dragon wings spread wide, solid Dragon scales covered its body, and the flashing electric current around it blended with the thunder in the sky above.
"The Third Elder finally succeeded." Yu Yuanzhen stroked his beard and looked up with satisfaction. "Next, it will be the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder. Their spirit power levels are similar right now. I wonder which of them will break through first and become a Titled Douluo."
Thinking of the increasingly brilliant future of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Yuanzhen felt deeply gratified.
Meanwhile, deep in the core region of Thunder Gorge, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon named Yun Xi also seemed to sense something.
It raised its head toward the direction where Yu Tianlin and the others were, its blue-purple dragon eyes narrowing into vertical slits.
"So, those people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan really did come here to hunt the Thunderclap Tremor Lizard because one of their Spirit Masters was about to break through to the Titled Douluo realm."
"Another Titled Douluo." Yun Xi let out a cold snort. "If it were before, I might still have feared you a little. But once I absorb the power of this Sacred Dragon Bone and break through the 100,000-year limit, or even go further and become a true Sacred Dragon, then we shall see who fears whom."
As it spoke, Yun Xi shifted its enormous body slightly, revealing a left arm Spirit Bone hidden beneath it.
The Spirit Bone looked like transparent amethyst, glowing with a strange and beautiful brilliance.
Yun Xi stared at it with fascination and intoxication in its eyes.
"Truly beautiful. I wonder which senior of my clan left behind these remains."
"I only hope it can help me break through to the Sacred Dragon level. Only then will I be able to restore the glory of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan."
