Chapter 300: Absorbing the God-Bestowed Spirit Ring
Faced with the series of questions his grandfather had asked, Yu Tianlin did not answer immediately. Instead, he said, "Grandfather, I'll explain everything to you in detail later. For now, let me deal with my sixth Spirit Ring first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Tianlin quickly sat down cross-legged and entered a meditative cultivation posture. Then he opened his palm, revealing the golden bead he had been holding the whole time.
This golden bead was extremely strange. It looked as though it had been carved from flawless crystal, translucent and perfect. Golden mist swirled inside it, making it look incomparably magnificent.
Hearing Yu Tianlin say he was about to deal with his sixth Spirit Ring, only to see him sit down on the spot and take out such a strange golden bead, Yu Yuanzhen could not help but feel puzzled.
"Tianlin, you said you were going to deal with your sixth Spirit Ring. What exactly are you doing? And what is that golden bead?"
Yu Tianlin smiled faintly. "This golden bead is my sixth Spirit Ring. Or more accurately, it is a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring."
That was right. This golden bead was a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring.
With this thing, once he reached a bottleneck, he would no longer need to hunt a Spirit Beast to advance. The God-Bestowed Spirit Ring would grant him the Spirit Ability he needed most, and its year count would rise to the maximum limit his body could withstand. It was an incomparably miraculous treasure.
Although Yu Tianlin had failed to wield the Thunder God's Hammer just now, he had not come away empty-handed. At the very least, he had activated the Thunder God's divine origin hidden within his body, causing the golden lightning mark to appear at the center of his forehead and formally making him the inheritor of the Thunder God. Because of that, the divine power remaining within the Thunder God's Hammer had condensed into a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring, perfectly solving his current problem.
That was also why Yu Tianlin had chosen to spare Yun Xi and let it live a little longer.
After giving his grandfather a brief explanation, Yu Tianlin used his Spirit Power to lift the golden bead, guiding it toward the golden lightning mark at the center of his forehead.
The instant the golden bead touched the mark, it seemed to sense something and shattered with a crisp crack. The golden mist inside spread out at once, enveloping every part of Yu Tianlin's body, and a faint pressure followed.
Because Yu Tianlin was currently in a fully Dragonized state, his physical condition had already been raised to a very high level. As a result, the golden mist covering his body quickly condensed into golden strands, and as this happened, the pressure on him rapidly increased. At the same time, it also meant that the year count of the Spirit Ring was rising quickly.
The golden threads wove around Yu Tianlin's body, growing denser and denser. The pressure kept mounting, yet Yu Tianlin still felt fairly relaxed.
If it had to be compared, the current pressure had not even reached the level of a 50,000-year Spirit Ring. Since Yu Tianlin had already been able to withstand a 65,000-year Spirit Ring at level 50, this degree of pressure was nothing to him.
Just like that, the golden threads around his body became increasingly concentrated, until they finally gathered into 9 golden halos that circled around him, repeatedly contracting and expanding.
According to previous experience with absorbing Spirit Rings, once these 9 golden halos formed, the pressure was roughly equivalent to that of a 50,000-year Spirit Ring.
That was still far too little for Yu Tianlin. He knew he could withstand much more.
Unwilling to waste time by letting the God-Bestowed Spirit Ring rise gradually on its own, Yu Tianlin immediately unleashed lightning across his entire body, activating Wrath of Thunder and Thunder Dragon Armor at the same time. On top of that, he also released his Thunder Domain.
With all his attributes surging at once, the God-Bestowed Spirit Ring instantly sensed the change. The pressure on him rose sharply, and in the very next moment, the 9 golden halos around Yu Tianlin turned blood-red one after another. Then they merged into one, forming a massive 100,000-year Spirit Ring.
A 100,000-year Spirit Ring had appeared just like that.
Yu Yuanzhen, who was watching from the side, was completely stunned.
A 100,000-year Spirit Ring. That was something even more coveted than an external Spirit Bone or a 100,000-year Spirit Bone, the very top prize in every Spirit Master's dreams. Yet now it had appeared so casually before his eyes.
This golden bead was simply too miraculous.
"God-Bestowed Spirit Ring... God-Bestowed Spirit Ring..."
Staring at that enormous ring of blood-red light, Yu Yuanzhen could not help but murmur to himself, "Is this the power of a god? It truly is unbelievable..."
While Yu Yuanzhen was still overwhelmed with shock, Yu Tianlin, the one actually absorbing it, was not entirely satisfied.
Hadn't it been said that a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring would rise all the way to the greatest level the absorber's body could endure? Yet he did not feel that his body had reached its limit. He could still continue. So why had the God-Bestowed Spirit Ring stopped here?
Originally, Yu Tianlin had hoped to use this chance to obtain a 200,000-year Spirit Ring, and maybe even push it toward 300,000 years. But who would have thought the God-Bestowed Spirit Ring had a limit and could only rise to 100,000 years at most?
That contrast left him feeling rather dissatisfied.
Still, that feeling only lingered for an instant before Yu Tianlin quickly suppressed it. The vast energy contained within the 100,000-year Spirit Ring immediately flooded into his body, dyeing his meridians and Sea of Consciousness a deep blood-red.
Although Yu Tianlin's current physical body was already strong enough to bear a 100,000-year Spirit Ring, the energy contained in such a ring was still immense. He had to refine and convert it with all his strength, and that would obviously take a great deal of time.
Under Yu Yuanzhen's protection, Yu Tianlin sat cross-legged at the entrance of Thunder Gorge like a statue. In the blink of an eye, 7 days and 7 nights passed, and only then did he finally complete the absorption of that 100,000-year Spirit Ring.
Gold-red, purple, purple, black, black.
The sixth Spirit Ring, blood-red in color, slowly formed on Yu Tianlin's body, joining the other 5 as they revolved around him in rhythmic motion.
Yu Tianlin slowly opened his eyes. For an instant, his pupils seemed to become vertical slits like those of a true dragon, and blue-purple light flashed brightly within them. He felt a powerful energy surging in his chest, and could not help but raise his head and release a long roar like a dragon's cry. The might contained in it caused many nearby Spirit Beasts to faint on the spot.
"Tianlin, you've finally woken up."
Looking at the two blood-red Spirit Rings on Yu Tianlin's body, even after 7 full days to get used to the sight, Yu Yuanzhen still found it difficult to calm his heart.
After all, Yu Tianlin was only in the rank 60 range and had not even reached the Spirit Saint realm yet, but he already possessed 2 100,000-year Spirit Rings.
How was Yu Yuanzhen supposed to feel about that?
He was a rank 97 Super Douluo, with combat strength that could even rival a rank 99 Limit Douluo, yet even he did not possess a single 100,000-year Spirit Ring.
