Lin Yongming could sense the fourth wave of the Fierce Tiger's attack, which was even stronger than the previous three.

"To think that I, the inheritor of the Heavenly Emperor, would die under the thunderous attacks before even touching the secrets of the Lightning Chapter. How ironic."

"I've disgraced my brother, the Heavenly Emperor," Lin Yongming thought with a bitter smile, a surge of unwillingness rising in his heart.

"Xiao Ming!"

Blue Silver Emperor looked at Lin Yongming with a complex expression, her face resembling that of a mother protecting her child. She gritted her teeth in secret.

"Xiao Ming, we won't die here. We'll make it out," Blue Silver Emperor said firmly, her voice gentle as she comforted him.

"Right. I still have one thing left to try," Lin Yongming said, sensing the thunderous energy above him. Suddenly, he remembered something.

"Huh?" Blue Silver Emperor was taken aback.

Under her astonished gaze, Lin Yongming took out a strange stone from his storage soul tool—a stone he had been unable to decipher.

"Thunderstone!" Blue Silver Emperor exclaimed, recognizing the stone. It was the same stone she had named "Thunderstone" because it would release lightning whenever she touched it.

"Xiao Ming, will the Thunderstone really help?" Blue Silver Emperor asked helplessly, not holding out much hope.

"We have to try. At this point, it's our only gamble," Lin Yongming replied. He channeled the last bit of his soul power into the Thunderstone.

Soon, the stone emitted a faint blue glow, and the lightning patterns within it seemed to come alive, swirling and moving.

"Xiao Ming, it's reacting! And the reaction is stronger than before. The patterns inside are moving!" Blue Silver Emperor quickly alerted him.

"Good. As long as it's working, let's see if it can withstand the Fierce Tiger's Thunderfall Array," Lin Yongming said weakly. He raised his hand, holding the Thunderstone toward the Fierce Tiger.

"Oh? Begging for mercy now? Too late. Thunderfall!" The Fierce Tiger sneered cruelly, unmoved as he launched his attack.

Boom!

The fourth wave of thunderous attacks roared like thunder, striking down toward Lin Yongming with precision and ferocity.

"Xiao Ming!" Blue Silver Emperor clung tightly to Lin Yongming, closing her eyes as she thought, "Maybe this is for the best. Dying together isn't so bad."

She pressed herself against Lin Yongming's chest, ready to face death together.

"Please work," Lin Yongming silently prayed.

The Fierce Tiger's thunderous attack descended mercilessly, striking the Thunderstone in Lin Yongming's palm. To everyone's shock, the Thunderstone absorbed the attack completely.

"Impossible! I don't believe it! Thunderfall!" The Fierce Tiger, who had been watching Lin Yongming closely, was the first to react. He launched another thunderous strike, but once again, the Thunderstone absorbed it effortlessly.

"What a strange stone! What is this thing?" Lin Yongming was equally astonished. He hadn't expected the Thunderstone to absorb such a violent attack so easily.

Hearing the thunder but feeling no discomfort, Blue Silver Emperor opened her eyes and peeked out, just in time to see the third thunderous strike being absorbed by the Thunderstone.

"What kind of thing is this? Could it be a divine artifact?" Blue Silver Emperor speculated, shocked by her own sudden thought.

"No way! What kind of stone is this?" The Fierce Tiger finally noticed the Thunderstone in Lin Yongming's hand.

"Thunderfall!" The Fierce Tiger roared in anger. He had thought Lin Yongming was defenseless, but now this dark blue stone was blocking his attacks.

However, this time, the Thunderstone didn't absorb the attack. Instead, it emitted a deep blue light, forming a protective barrier around Lin Yongming and Blue Silver Emperor.

The fourth thunderous strike didn't even cause a ripple in the barrier.

Seeing the stone's transformation, the Fierce Tiger intensified his efforts, pouring more energy into the Thunderfall Array. "I refuse to believe a mere stone can block the attacks of a Soul Sage!"

He launched a barrage of thunderous strikes, but the barrier created by the Thunderstone held firm, deflecting every attack.

"Xiao Ming, where did you find this stone? Maybe we should go back and look for more after this," Blue Silver Emperor said, her eyes wide as she watched the Fierce Tiger's futile attacks.

"..." Lin Yongming was speechless, unable to respond.

Suddenly, all three of them noticed that the Thunderstone released a beam of light that formed a faint silhouette outside the barrier.

The figure was tall and imposing, with long, deep blue hair and a simple blue robe.

"Who are you?" the Fierce Tiger exclaimed, unable to contain his shock.

Without waiting for a response, the Fierce Tiger launched another thunderous attack. But the figure calmly raised his hand, catching the lightning energy mid-air. With a flick of his wrist, he sent the same lightning attack back at the Fierce Tiger, shattering the Thunderfall Array in an instant.

"How is this possible? To catch lightning energy... Is he a Title Douluo?" Before the Fierce Tiger could finish his thought, he spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed, unconscious, two meters in front of Lin Yongming.

"Title Douluo!" Blue Silver Emperor gasped, hiding nervously in Lin Yongming's arms.

"Thank you for saving us, senior!" Lin Yongming immediately said.

The figure turned around, revealing the face of a middle-aged man in his forties. His deep blue eyes radiated a sacred aura.

"I didn't expect your lightning energy to activate the will I left within the Thunder Core. It's been so many years... Haha."

"Young friend, take this Thunder Core. I'll be waiting for you in the Extreme Sea Thunder Domain," the man said before his figure began to fade.

"Senior, what is the Extreme Sea Thunder Domain? How do I get there?" Lin Yongming quickly asked.

"When your strength reaches the required level, the Extreme Sea Thunder Domain will open its doors to you," the man replied mysteriously before disappearing completely.

"Extreme Sea Thunder Domain... What kind of place is that?" Lin Yongming frowned in confusion.

"A-Yin, do you know anything about it?" Lin Yongming turned to Blue Silver Emperor.

"I don't even know about this stone. I was the one who named it Thunderstone. How would I know about the Extreme Sea Thunder Domain?" Blue Silver Emperor replied, relieved now that the figure was gone.

"Besides, didn't the senior say you'll know when you reach the required level?" she added, shaking her head.

"Extreme Sea Thunder Domain... Could it be a divine inheritance ground?" Lin Yongming wondered. He knew no such place existed in the Douluo Continent.

"A god? Could that figure have been a deity?" Blue Silver Emperor thought the same.

"Never mind. For now, I'll just keep the Thunderstone safe," Lin Yongming said, storing the stone back in his storage soul tool.

"That was a close call. A-Yin, we're safe now," Lin Yongming said weakly, a smile of relief on his face.

"Yeah, it feels good to be alive," Blue Silver Emperor nodded solemnly.

"That Soul Sage isn't dead yet. Let's finish him and leave."

"Alright."

Lin Yongming walked over to the unconscious Fierce Tiger, raised his thunder blade, and without hesitation, beheaded him. The Fierce Tiger died peacefully in his unconscious state.

Afterward, Lin Yongming and Blue Silver Emperor quickly gathered their things and left the devastated valley.

By nightfall, they found a small village and took shelter in an abandoned house.

"Xiao Ming, eat something first, then focus on recovering your soul power and healing your wounds," Blue Silver Emperor said, starting a small fire. She took out some snacks from her storage soul tool.

They had been fighting since morning, and both were exhausted, their soul power nearly depleted and their bodies battered.

"Alright," Lin Yongming took the food and water from Blue Silver Emperor. "This near-death experience has shown me the true brutality of the soul master world. One wrong move, and you're dead. The Great Spirit Arena is too tame in comparison. I'm still far from strong enough."

"Xiao Ming, don't rush. Growth takes time. You've done well, and this time, I truly felt the sense of security you gave me. You protected me time and time again," Blue Silver Emperor said, holding his hand to comfort him.

"A-Yin, don't praise me too much. I'm a man, after all. It's my duty to stand in front. Besides, it was your support that allowed me to hold on for so long," Lin Yongming replied with a gentle smile.

"What do you mean, 'a man'? I'm older than you. You're just stubborn," Blue Silver Emperor rolled her eyes, thinking, "He's only nine years old. I shouldn't get mad."

"A-Yin, let's eat first," Lin Yongming said with a smile.

After finishing their meal, the two entered a meditative state to recover their soul power and heal their bodies.

In the middle of the night, Blue Silver Emperor woke up and draped a small blanket over Lin Yongming. She then covered herself with another blanket and leaned against him, falling asleep with a smile on her face.

Lin Yongming, of course, noticed her actions but didn't move.

The next morning, Blue Silver Emperor woke up to find Lin Yongming still meditating.

She smiled softly and gently woke him. "Xiao Ming, it's morning. Let's eat something and then head out."

"A-Yin, what time is it?" Lin Yongming stretched his arms.

"It's a little past seven. How's your body after meditating all night?" Blue Silver Emperor asked as she took out some food.

"I've recovered about seventy to eighty percent. I'm good to travel," Lin Yongming replied.

"Good. The rest will take time to heal. You overexerted yourself yesterday," Blue Silver Emperor said.

She had already treated his injuries, but the toll from the previous day's battle was too great. It would take a few days of rest to fully recover.

"I know. We should reach Wurto Town by late afternoon or evening," Lin Yongming nodded.

They hadn't forgotten Wang Ming's words, but for now, their priority was to return to Wurto Town.
