219: The test of the thunder pool, the Thunder God who can't help it

Lin Chen currently had no way to seize the Thunder Pool.

Previously, when he obtained Fire God Mountain, it was because the undying Fire God had voluntarily handed Fire God Mountain to him, so he didn't expend much effort. If he had wanted to control Fire God Mountain by himself, it wouldn't have been something easily accomplished in a short time.

The current Thunder Pool was not something he could shake or control.

Unless Fire Lord and the others made a move, but this did not conform to the agreement with other super clans.

Otherwise, most of the fixed inheritances in Gods Graveyard would have long been moved back home by the Foundation Level experts of the super clans, and would not have remained in Gods Graveyard.

Not only did the super clans have an agreement, but Gods Graveyard itself also repelled Foundation Level experts and had means to counteract them. Relying on the Abyss, which could devour Foundation Level experts, Gods Graveyard was not to be trifled with.

For various reasons, Foundation Level experts could not directly collect inheritances from Gods Graveyard. They could only participate in the inheritance acquisition process by using the Ninth Order Gods and gods within their clans as intermediaries, which had many restrictions.

The situation was much better now. Lin Chen only needed to initiate the battle. For subsequent enemies, if they could defeat them, they would. If not, there was still September. If September was also powerless, then Foundation Level experts could be asked to make a slight move.

In fact, super clans all did this. As long as their own prodigies were capable enough to leverage the most top-tier inheritances located in Gods Graveyard, those Foundation Level experts would naturally follow up and assist.

Lin Chen easily crossed the first section of the Thunder Pool.

Lin Chen also crossed the second section of the Thunder Pool, a Lower God level sea of thunder, without much effort. After all, the damage reduction in Spiritual Stealth state was strong enough, and Causality Power and Mirror Power could both weaken the power of the thunder.

Between the second and third sections of the Thunder Pool, numerous thunder-elemental beings were gathered, scattered far apart from each other, all cultivating by leveraging the environment here.

Although the thunder-elemental beings here appeared to be in the same space, they were actually in different spaces. Therefore, they were very peaceful with each other. Even if they fought, they could at most exchange harsh words and arrange to fight outside the Thunder Pool. Within the Thunder Pool, they absolutely could not fight.

This was what a proper inheritance ground should be like.

The inheritance of Fire God Mountain before was simply child's play for Lin Chen. The Fire God was too hasty, leading to frequent flaws that aroused Lin Chen's vigilance and caused Lin Chen to call for support.

Lin Chen did not linger. He summoned the void-reality mirror and, using the power of this main artifact, reached the thunder of Mid-level God intensity in the third section of the Thunder Pool.

He could rely on his various abilities to suppress and resolve thunder of Lower God intensity, but thunder of Mid-level God intensity required external objects.

Among the Divine Ranks, a difference of one rank was a world of difference.

Basically, all inheritors who could pass through the third section of the Thunder Pool did so with the help of external objects. Otherwise, it would be impossible to resist the raging thunder by leaping two ranks out of thin air.

Thunder itself possessed the strongest offensive power in the world. Resisting at the same rank was difficult, crossing one rank usually meant death, and crossing two ranks meant a death rate as high as 99.999%. Using external objects was not shameful; what was shameful was not having external objects to use.

With the void-reality mirror suspended above his head, Causality Power and Mirror Power intertwined, preventing all thunder from approaching Lin Chen. With this 'skip-class' playstyle, Lin Chen successfully passed through the third section of the Thunder Pool and arrived at the core of the Thunder Pool.

The core of the Thunder Pool was a Thunder God Statue whose face could not be clearly seen.

The height of the Thunder God Statue was adapted to the inheritor. The Thunder God Statue Lin Chen saw was a hundred meters tall, very majestic, humanoid, but with six extra arms. Each of the eight arms held an artifact.

Lin Chen entered the open space in front of the Thunder God Statue. In front of the originally motionless statue, a Thunder God Projection materialized.

The Thunder God Projection was lifelike, revealing the aura of a peak Lower God. He hovered not far from Lin Chen.

"Inheritor, defeat me, and you can take my inheritance. If I defeat you, your body and spirit will perish."

"You have one chance to withdraw."

Before the battle, the Thunder God Projection gave Lin Chen a chance to give up and withdraw, but having come this far, Lin Chen naturally could not give up.

A Thunder God Projection at the peak of Lower God could not make him retreat. Before entering Gods Graveyard, he already possessed the combat power of a weak Mid-level God. After obtaining the main artifact void-reality mirror, he steadily possessed the combat power of a normal Mid-level God.

So, all things considered, Lin Chen, despite his cultivation disadvantage, was actually stronger, unless the Thunder God Projection could also maintain Mid-level God combat power as a norm.

Of course, this was impossible. According to historical records, when human prodigies challenged Thunder God Projections of the Lower God level, the Thunder God Projection's combat power and methods were limited to Lower God, with only occasional ultimate moves reaching Mid-level God power.

So, this time, Lin Chen was stable.

Defeating the Thunder God Projection was not his ultimate goal. His ultimate goal was to obtain this Thunder Pool; the inheritance was merely a secondary objective.

At this stage, Lin Chen had already forged his own path. Any inheritance from other gods could only serve as a reference for him, used to broaden his horizons, but not necessarily very useful.

"Thunder God, may I ask how I can obtain your true inheritance? The Main God-level inheritance you left behind cannot satisfy my appetite."

Lin Chen was not stingy with his respect for the normal Thunder God, as the Thunder God had not made any moves outside the rules until now, acting entirely according to the rules.

"Defeat me, and you can choose to accept the true trial, and truly obtain my inheritance."

Lin Chen didn't expect the Thunder God Projection to answer his question, which made things interesting. It seemed the Thunder God was also alive and apparently had taken a liking to his body.

After all, human prodigies in the past had asked this question but had not received an answer from the Thunder God Projection. After defeating the Thunder God Projection, the trial would end, and the ultimate inheritance could not be glimpsed.

"Hehe, it still has to be Lin Chen, this kid."

"That's right, with just one move, he lured out the Fire God and Thunder God, who had been dormant for a long time. The prodigies we sent before were not good enough for those two old fellows, who just brushed them off casually."

"Prepare to make a move. This old Thunder God is much more cautious than the Fire God."

Fire Lord and the other two laughed. Lin Chen truly had something special about him. Just his presence changed the minds of the Fire God and Thunder God, luring them to reveal themselves.

In the field, battle was imminent.

With his first move, Lin Chen went all out.

Cause: Combat with Thunder God Projection

Process: void-reality mirror overloaded, artifact power vibrated, annihilating everything

Result: Thunder God Projection must die

Lin Chen consumed ninety percent of his Causality Power to set a destined death for the Thunder God Projection.

The main artifact void-reality mirror was summoned by Lin Chen, instantly overloading. The power of materializing into void and void into material erupted, nullifying the Thunder God's divine lightning attacks and forcibly eroding the Thunder God Projection's existential foundation.

The Thunder God Projection was merely a condensation of the Thunder God's divine power, inherently lacking much thunder rule blessing. Under the void-reality mirror's two opposing forces, instant kill was the outcome.

"First strike kill. It is only right that I obtain the ultimate inheritance of Thunder God."

Lin Chen was still acting, approaching the unchanging Thunder God Statue cautiously amidst his excitement.

"Thunder God, may I begin the final trial? I can't wait to obtain your inheritance."

In terms of politeness, Lin Chen was not lacking.

Although he wanted to kill him the next moment, it didn't hinder his politeness at this moment; it was merely a means of enticement.

At this time, Lin Chen was actually in a very poor state.

Ninety percent of his Causality Power was consumed, and the void-reality mirror was temporarily unusable due to overload. Mirror Power was also drained by the void-reality mirror, leaving only his Ninth Order Gods physical cultivation combat power. Even his mental power was heavily consumed during the process of controlling the void-reality mirror.

It could be said that Lin Chen was in his weakest state, and the easiest to kill, provided one could break through the guardianship of the three Foundation Level experts.

In this state, Lin Chen was also most suitable for possession. The Thunder God, who had been preparing for a long time, initiated the possession ritual without any hesitation, not even appearing to confront Lin Chen, with only the desire for possession in his eyes.

Even though he was cautious enough, some people were even more cautious, more reclusive, and more cunning.
