Chapter 298: A Hammer? The Thunder God's Hammer!
Yu Tianlin looked ahead and saw a hammer suspended at the very center of the cloud vortex.
A hammer?
Yu Tianlin was stunned by the sight.
Years ago, such a massive change had appeared above the Thunder Gorge. A cloud vortex so deep that even Titled Douluo and 100,000 year Spirit Beasts could not penetrate it had formed, and within it was that strange golden lightning. Could all of that really have been caused by this hammer?
So powerful. Could it be a divine artifact?
Yu Tianlin's thoughts raced as he quickly analyzed the situation before him.
It seemed that this hammer could only be a divine artifact. And among divine artifacts, it had to be an extremely high level one, otherwise the disturbance it caused would not be so exaggerated.
But why was this hammer attracting him?
To be precise, it should be attracting his first Spirit Ring and his external Spirit Bone, and both of those came from that Thunder Hell Prison Vine with less than 100 years of cultivation. In other words, was this hammer related to the Thunderclap Yama Vine?
If he remembered correctly, when he had read the Clan's records before, there seemed to be a statement that the Thunder Hell Prison Vine was a plant type Spirit Beast carrying the Thunder God's bloodline. In that case, did all of this have something to do with the Thunder God?
It could control heavenly lightning, and it could also attract the Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone of the Thunder Hell Prison Vine, which possessed the Thunder God's bloodline. Could it be that this hammer was the Thunder God's divine artifact?
At that moment, Yu Tianlin finally pieced together all the fragments of information he knew and arrived at this conclusion. His eyes instantly blazed as he stared at the hammer.
If his guess was correct, then this hammer was the Thunder God's divine artifact, and it was attracting him, showing a considerable degree of affinity with him. In that case, was it possible for him to claim it?
Even if he could not claim it, with that level of affinity, it should not pose any danger to him. Since that was the case, he definitely had to go up and try.
With that thought in mind, Yu Tianlin flew straight toward the hammer.
As he drew closer, the details of the hammer finally came into clear view.
The warhammer was entirely dark purple black. Its handle pointed upward while the hammerhead faced down, suspended upside down in midair. The handle was a full 3 meters long and wrapped in spiral patterns, while the round hammerhead was as large as a bucket and covered in tiny lightning runes.
Just by standing nearby and observing it, Yu Tianlin could feel an immense and majestic battle intent crashing over him, so overwhelming that he was momentarily dazed.
When he recovered, he noticed that the hammerhead was somewhat damaged, and there was a crack in the handle as well, making it look as though it might break at any moment.
The condition of this divine artifact did not seem optimistic. If he could really obtain it, then he would probably have to find some way to repair it later.
That thought passed through his mind, and then Yu Tianlin took a deep breath, entered a fully Dragonized state, raised both arms, and gripped the handle of the warhammer.
The moment his hands touched it, Yu Tianlin felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His whole body trembled violently, and he almost let go. Fortunately, at the critical moment, he endured it and did not lose his grip.
At that same instant, Yu Tianlin's first Spirit Ring suddenly burst into brilliant light. The 4 golden patterns on it shot into his 4 limbs respectively, then converged at the center of his forehead, forming a golden lightning mark.
As that golden lightning mark took shape, a noble and majestic aura spread from Yu Tianlin's body.
Yu Tianlin himself could not see the change in his appearance, so he had no idea that a golden lightning mark had appeared on his forehead. His only focus was the warhammer in front of him.
At this moment, Yu Tianlin activated his 2 body strengthening abilities, and to be safe, he also released his Domain, stacking every possible enhancement on top of himself.
After pushing his condition to the absolute limit, Yu Tianlin gritted his teeth, exerted force with both arms, and violently flapped his dragon wings to borrow strength in the air.
Under those circumstances, every bit of Yu Tianlin's power twisted into one. His Spirit Power suddenly surged violently, and the cultivation that had already been close to a breakthrough finally broke through. He successfully stepped into level 60.
With so many methods used, and even with his Spirit Power breaking through on the spot, Yu Tianlin believed he should finally be able to move the warhammer in front of him.
But what happened next made his face change.
The warhammer only trembled slightly, then fell still again. No matter how much force Yu Tianlin used, it simply would not move.
How could this be? This warhammer was actually this heavy?!
Although the weight of the warhammer far exceeded Yu Tianlin's expectations and made him feel as if it was impossible to move, he still did not want to give up. He prepared himself for one final attempt.
All 5 Spirit Rings on his body shone brilliantly at the same time. Yu Tianlin erupted with everything he had, and at that very moment, the lightning mark on his forehead also seemed to sense something. A ray of golden light shot out from it and illuminated the warhammer before him.
Finally, under Yu Tianlin's desperate eruption, the warhammer responded.
The handle where Yu Tianlin's hands were gripping it slowly turned golden. Then the golden light flowed downward along the spiral patterns on the handle and spread toward the hammerhead below.
Although Yu Tianlin did not know what this golden light was, he could clearly feel that it was helping him control the warhammer. Following his instinct, he immediately urged it onward.
The moment the golden light flowed down the handle and into the hammerhead, the entire warhammer suddenly erupted in dazzling golden brilliance. At the same time, Yu Tianlin's whole body trembled, because a stream of information suddenly appeared in his mind.
Thunder God... fallen... divine position shattered... reforge... Thunder God's Hammer...
Yu Tianlin quickly digested the information, and his entire awareness of the outside world vanished for a moment. His hands, which had been tightly gripping the handle, also slowly loosened.
After a long while, the golden light radiating from the warhammer gradually receded. At the same time, a golden pearl emerged from the hammer and circled around it.
Yu Tianlin had finally digested most of the information that had suddenly entered his mind. His consciousness returned, and when he woke, he looked at the warhammer in front of him with an extremely complicated expression.
"So that's how it is. The Thunder God fell during the Dragon God War, and the Thunder God's divine position was shattered because of it. And I, by chance, absorbed the Spirit Ring of the Thunder Hell Prison Vine, obtained a trace of the Thunder God's divine origin, awakened part of it, and became the Thunder God's inheritance holder, with the possibility of reforging the Thunder God's divine position in the future?"
"This is the Thunder God's Hammer, the divine artifact that once belonged to the Thunder God. It was also damaged during the Dragon God War. I just hope I can successfully repair it in the future…"
