Chapter 295: Launching an Assault on the Cloud Vortex!
"However, I'm only level 59 right now. It will still take some time before I can break through to level 60, so I'm afraid we'll have to wait a while," Yu Tianlin said.
"It doesn't matter." Yu Yuanzhen stroked his beard and replied, "Yun Xi also needs time to stabilize its cultivation after advancing to the 100,000 year level. Waiting a little longer will be just right."
Logically speaking, once a True Dragon reached the 100,000 year level, its strength should definitely be comparable to that of a human Spirit Master at the Super Douluo level.
To be more precise, that would be around level 96. And since Yun Xi had the enhancement of a Thunder Saint Dragon Spirit Bone, its actual combat power would be even greater than that standard.
To ordinary people, the current Yun Xi could already be considered terrifyingly powerful, yet Yu Yuanzhen did not take it seriously at all.
As long as Yu Yuanzhen truly wanted to kill Yun Xi, Yun Xi would at most be able to struggle for a while. Its final fate was already decided.
Below them, not far away, the originally dazzling white sea of lightning gradually turned blue-violet under Yun Xi's influence, and the range of the lightning sea kept shrinking, indicating that it was being transformed and absorbed by Yun Xi.
At last, the entire sea of lightning was completely absorbed into Yun Xi's body, and its massive form was finally revealed. A powerful Dragon Might burst forth wantonly, sweeping across the entire Thunder Gorge and causing countless Spirit Beasts to tremble beneath its pressure.
"Let's go. Yun Xi has advanced successfully, so let it live a little longer." Seeing that Yun Xi's breakthrough was over and there was nothing more to watch, Yu Yuanzhen prepared to leave with Yu Tianlin.
Before this, the interference caused by the violent heavenly lightning, coupled with the fact that Yun Xi had not yet fully completed its advancement, had allowed Yu Yuanzhen to conceal both his own aura and Yu Tianlin's.
But now that everything had settled, if they stayed any longer, Yun Xi would notice them sooner or later.
Yu Tianlin had not yet reached level 60 and could not kill Yun Xi at the moment, so if Yun Xi discovered them now, it would definitely try to fight them head on, full of confidence after its recent breakthrough. That would create a bit of unnecessary trouble.
However, just as Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Tianlin were about to leave, Yun Xi's next action made them stop in their tracks.
After reaching the 100,000 year level and feeling the surging power within its body, Yun Xi's confidence expanded endlessly. Its pair of Dragon eyes stared fervently at the cloud vortex in the sky, and then it spread its dragon wings and flew straight toward it.
"The remains of that Saint Dragon Senior must be there!"
"Now that I've reached the 100,000 year level, I should finally be qualified to enter!"
"Senior, grant me the Saint Dragon's legacy! I will definitely lead the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan to rise once more!"
These thoughts filled Yun Xi's mind.
Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Tianlin, seeing this scene, were both stunned.
It actually wanted to charge into the cloud vortex? Had its confidence already swelled to this level? Did it really think it was invincible now?
"Yun Xi, that fool. Even I can't enter that place, yet it thinks it can?" Yu Yuanzhen shook his head. "I only hope it doesn't die in there. Otherwise, Tianlin, your 100,000 year Spirit Ring will be gone."
Yu Tianlin also wore a speechless expression.
When he had first come here to draw heavenly lightning and temper his Spirit Ring, he had already sensed a subtle feeling of intimacy coming from the cloud vortex, so driven by curiosity, he had tried approaching it himself.
Just as he had expected, because something in the center of the cloud vortex was drawing him in, the repulsion there was not too strong against him. With his current strength, he had actually managed to get closer.
Of course, Yu Tianlin had only been able to approach it with difficulty. He was still some distance away from the true center of the vortex.
Still, those attempts had not been meaningless, because during the process, Yu Tianlin discovered that every time the age of his first Spirit Ring increased, he could move one step closer toward the center of the vortex.
Now that his first Spirit Ring was already close to the 100,000 year level, he could already get extremely near the center of the vortex. And according to what he had learned from his grandfather, even someone as strong as Yu Yuanzhen could only penetrate to about the same depth.
That information had greatly excited Yu Tianlin. He had originally planned to wait until his first Spirit Ring officially reached the 100,000 year level before attempting to enter the true center of the cloud vortex.
Yet now, Yun Xi had unexpectedly advanced to the 100,000 year level first and launched an assault on the center of the vortex ahead of him.
"It charged in the moment it broke through. Could it be that whatever is inside is also attracting Yun Xi?"
As that thought appeared in Yu Tianlin's mind, he suddenly felt a bit uneasy.
In his view, Yun Xi could not possibly be doing this for no reason. There had to be some cause behind it.
What Yu Tianlin did not know, however, was that Yun Xi had simply convinced itself that the remains of the Thunder Saint Dragon were hidden in the center of the vortex, and it was acting entirely based on that misconception.
They watched as the massive Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon turned into a streak of blue-violet lightning, carrying an unstoppable aura as it rushed directly into the cloud vortex.
Like a volcano erupting, the subtle balance that had always existed within the cloud vortex was instantly broken. Countless thick bolts of lightning burst outward, radiating dazzling brilliance, while deafening thunder roared without end.
"This disturbance is far too exaggerated..."
Seeing the commotion that erupted after Yun Xi charged into the vortex, Yu Tianlin could not help but let out a sigh of relief.
This kind of situation had never occurred when he himself tried to approach the vortex. It was now obvious that Yun Xi was trying to force its way in through brute strength, which was what had caused the current upheaval.
That also meant Yun Xi had no special connection with whatever lay inside the vortex.
Since that was the case, Yu Tianlin no longer felt worried.
However, after Yun Xi charged into the cloud vortex, a strong stirring sensation suddenly rose within Yu Tianlin's heart, and it was growing more intense by the moment.
"Grandpa, let's go over there too." As that stirring feeling in his heart intensified, Yu Tianlin subconsciously frowned and said, "I suddenly feel like I have to go there."
"Alright. I'll protect you, and we'll go together." Hearing Yu Tianlin say this, Yu Yuanzhen was briefly surprised, but he immediately activated his torso Spirit Bone and released the Domain contained within it, enveloping Yu Tianlin before heading toward the cloud vortex.
When Yu Tianlin first discovered that something inside the cloud vortex was attracting him, he had already told Yu Yuanzhen about it. So now Yu Yuanzhen understood the situation and did not ask any further questions.
At this moment, after Yun Xi charged in, the cloud vortex erupted with Lightning Power, displaying immense heavenly might. Merely drawing closer to it made Yu Tianlin feel an indescribable sense of suffocation.
