Chapter 291: Good Fortune and a Newly Gained Domain
Just now, after Yun Xi sensed that the Thunderclap Tremor Lizard had been secretly killed by Yu Yuanzhen and the others, it had rushed out in fury.
Its plan at the time was simple. If the human Spirit Masters were weak, it would kill them directly. Even if the human Spirit Masters were strong, it would still stall them and prevent them from having enough time to absorb the Thunderclap Tremor Lizard's Spirit Ring, allowing the Spirit Ring to dissipate on its own once the time limit was reached.
However, Yun Xi was still one step too late. By the time it came out, Yu Luomian and the Third Elder had already fled with the Thunderclap Tremor Lizard's head, leaving only Yu Yuanzhen behind to cover their retreat.
Yun Xi knew Yu Yuanzhen well, having encountered him several times before. The moment it saw him again, Yun Xi immediately gathered its subordinates and launched a siege against Yu Yuanzhen.
But to Yun Xi's surprise, Yu Yuanzhen's strength seemed to have increased greatly since their last encounter. The longer the fight dragged on, the more alarmed it became.
In the end, Yun Xi realized there was no point in continuing. If the battle dragged on any further, it might even place itself in danger, so it allowed its subordinates to stop and let Yu Yuanzhen leave.
Yun Xi was furious about the outcome, but there was nothing it could do. It could only return to its territory in frustration.
However, on the way back, Yun Xi suddenly sensed a familiar aura for no clear reason. Guided by that feeling of closeness, it followed the source and found a Thunder Saint Dragon left arm Spirit Bone.
Just from going out once, it had actually picked up a Thunder Saint Dragon Spirit Bone?
Yun Xi was completely stunned by this enormous surprise. It took a long while before it finally recovered, then carried the Spirit Bone left behind by its senior kinsman back to its resting place.
After calming down, Yun Xi began to think carefully about the origin of this Spirit Bone, because the matter clearly contained several odd points.
Over the years, Yun Xi had thoroughly searched the core region of Thunder Gorge, yet it had never found any trace of a Thunder Saint Dragon's remains. So how could it suddenly pick up one just from walking out once?
Something unusual must have happened recently for this to occur.
Yun Xi began piecing the clues together.
"The clouds above Thunder Gorge used to be normal, but a few years ago they suddenly turned into a vortex. The Lightning Power in the center of that vortex is terrifying, to the point that even I cannot approach it. Could that be the reason?"
The more Yun Xi thought about it, the more convinced it became.
"A Saint Dragon senior's remains must have appeared there, directly causing the celestial phenomenon to change."
"The complete remains of that Saint Dragon senior must still be in the center of the vortex right now, and this left arm Spirit Bone must have fallen from the cloud vortex for some unknown reason, only for lucky me to pick it up."
"This is the only explanation, and it makes perfect sense."
After constructing the whole story in its mind, Yun Xi felt both sorrow over the death of this Saint Dragon senior of its clan and a bit of excitement.
At its current level of strength, it could not enter the center of the cloud vortex. However, with the help of the Thunder Saint Dragon left arm Spirit Bone in its possession, it would definitely become stronger. Once that happened, it should be able to enter the center of the vortex, see the complete remains of the Thunder Saint Dragon, and perhaps even obtain its legacy, giving itself a chance to reach the Saint Dragon level in the future.
"Senior, I definitely will not let your power go to waste. I will lead the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan to rise again!"
After giving the amethyst like left arm Spirit Bone one last look, determination appeared in Yun Xi's eyes. It opened its dragon mouth and directly swallowed the Thunder Saint Dragon left arm Spirit Bone, beginning to absorb the power within it to strengthen itself through cultivation.
Of course, this Spirit Bone had actually been secretly placed along Yun Xi's inevitable path by Yu Yuanzhen. Yet Yun Xi had imagined so much on its own. One could only hope it would still be able to accept the truth when it learned it in the future.
On the other side, after circling a few times in the air, the Third Elder spread his wings and descended. While still midair, he retracted the Lightning on his body and transformed back into human form.
"Third Brother, congratulations!" Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian both stepped forward with smiles and offered their sincere congratulations.
Seeing this, Yu Tianlin also came forward and congratulated him.
"Haha!" The Third Elder was glowing with joy. Clearly, officially entering the Titled Douluo realm had put him in an excellent mood. Still, he did not become arrogant. Instead, he said, "My breakthrough was only possible because of the medicinal herbs and Spirit Bone the Clan provided, and because the Clan Leader and the Grand Elder helped me hunt the Thunderclap Tremor Lizard. With such conditions, anyone could have broken through to Titled Douluo. I do not dare to claim all the credit."
Yu Yuanzhen nodded in satisfaction at the Third Elder's words and said, "Third Brother, once we return, you will also become one of the Clan's Grand Elders. We will give you a resounding Titled Douluo title, and you will receive a full set of Spirit Bones as well."
"A full set of Spirit Bones?" The Third Elder's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Clan Leader. Then I will gratefully accept."
"Speaking of which, my luck this time was truly good. After absorbing the 90,000 year Thunderclap Tremor Lizard Spirit Ring, I actually acquired a Domain."
"A Domain?!" The moment the Third Elder said this, Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian both cried out in surprise, and even Yu Tianlin looked at the Third Elder in astonishment.
Aside from Domains that are innate to a Martial Soul, there are also several acquired ways to obtain one.
For example, when a Spirit Master absorbs their 9th Spirit Ring, there is a ten percent chance of awakening a Domain. If what the Third Elder said was true, then his luck was indeed exceptional.
"That is right, it is a Domain." The Third Elder himself also seemed amazed at his own good fortune. With a thought, he immediately activated his personal Domain.
Dark lightning spread outward from the Third Elder's body until it covered a certain area before stopping. From the oppressive feeling that filled the surroundings, it was undoubtedly a Domain.
"Good! Good! Good! Third Brother, your fortune is truly incredible!" Yu Yuanzhen patted the Third Elder's shoulder. "Once we return, I will find you a Spirit Bone that carries a Domain type skill. When your two Domains overlap, your suppressive power will become the undisputed number one on the entire Douluo Continent!"
In response to Yu Yuanzhen's words, the Third Elder remained modest. "I have only just obtained this Domain, and it still needs to develop further. I do not dare claim to be number one."
In truth, Yu Yuanzhen was not making that statement casually. There was a great deal of truth in it.
A Domain skill granted by a Saint Dragon Spirit Bone was already terrifyingly powerful. If the Spirit Bone user also possessed a Domain of their own, then the two overlapping together would absolutely deserve to be called number one.
Even if someone else had the same setup, at most they could only tie for first.
Of course, things would be different if they encountered a true god, or a god inheritor who had already completed most of their trials. After all, with divine power as support, a Domain would naturally become unimaginably strong.
