Chapter 280: Annihilation Attribute, Blue Silver Life-Destruction Torrent
For Lin Qingmo, the evolution of his martial soul was merely the most basic part of this transformation.
Aside from reconstructing his martial soul's foundation, his soul power level had also undergone an earth-shaking leap.
His soul power rank surged all the way from the threshold of a rank 50 straight to rank 56.
A full six-rank breakthrough was completed in one go, sweeping through every barrier of the middle stage of the Soul King realm without the slightest obstruction.
On the path of a soul master, the further one cultivated, the more difficult the advancement would become, increasing geometrically.
The threshold from Rank 50 to Rank 55 had long since become a deadly chasm that countless soul masters could not cross, even after exhausting their entire lives.
Who knew how many soul masters with ordinary talent had been stuck before this barrier for their entire lives, unable to advance even a single step?
Even Yu Xiaogang, who was famous throughout the continent for his soul master theories, had once been trapped at the threshold of a rank 29 Soul Grandmaster for over ten years without making any progress.
Let alone someone like Lin Qingmo, who crossed six soul power ranks within just three short days.
Even more exaggerated than the rise in soul power was the complete reconstruction and rebirth of the meridians throughout his body.
After being repeatedly washed, expanded, and tempered thousands of times by the vast power of life and the ultimate power of annihilation, the width of the meridians within his body had already reached a realm that ordinary soul masters could never hope to achieve.
The walls of his meridians had also been refined to an incomparably tough state, enough to withstand soul power impacts and circulation far beyond the limits of soul masters of the same level.
This also meant that although his apparent soul power rank was only a Rank 56, the true amount of soul power that could be stored within his body had already far surpassed the upper limit of the Soul King stage.
In battles of attrition against opponents of the same level, his soul power endurance was several times greater than that of soul masters of the same rank.
With this alone, he was already capable of standing undefeated in battles against those of the same level.
Aside from the transformation of his body and soul power, the soul rings on his body had also undergone a revolutionary, qualitative change.
The first three soul rings were still standard purple thousand-year soul rings.
This configuration had already far surpassed the best soul ring configuration recognized by the soul master world for his level.
And the one that changed the most was undoubtedly his fourth soul ring.
The black soul ring that had originally reached a forty-thousand-year age limit had now become even deeper and darker in color, like an eternal night abyss capable of devouring all light.
The surface of the soul ring was also covered with dense purple lightning patterns.
They were completely integrated with the origin patterns of the Blue Silver Life and Destruction Tree, inseparable from one another.
The age of the soul ring skyrocketed by twenty thousand years in one move, reaching the shocking level of a sixty-thousand-year fourth soul ring.
The tempering effect brought by the descent of the Annihilation Purple Lightning this time was comparable to the ultimate transformation of the Thunder Hell Prison Vine passing through two consecutive lightning tribulations.
Even Lin Qingmo himself had never expected that it could allow the origin of his soul ring to complete such a terrifying leap.
This heaven-defying transformation was definitely thanks to the Annihilation Purple Lightning.
It was precisely this extremely tyrannical lightning that completely modified and refined the origin of the fourth soul ring, allowing it to undergo a complete qualitative rebirth.
This fourth soul ring of his originally came from the twenty-thousand-year Thunder Hell Prison Vine.
Now, after merging with the Blue Silver Emperor's vast life origin and being refined by the ultimate destructive power of the Annihilation Purple Lightning, it naturally completed its transformation and greatly increased in age.
Along with the transformation of the soul ring's origin, his fourth soul skill also underwent a terrifying earth-shaking evolution.
Aside from its original powerful attack ability to control lightning, the current fourth soul skill had gained a special type of lightning that he could freely activate: the Annihilation Purple Lightning.
The annihilation attribute was an extremely rare top-tier attribute standing at the peak of the Douluo Continent's sequence.
Its most terrifying aspect was that it could cause all soul power, energy, and matter it came into contact with to completely return to nothingness or be greatly weakened in an instant.
Even if it could not completely erase something at once, it could still collapse the core of the opponent's attack in a single strike, reducing its power to the lowest point.
Whether fire, water, lightning, earth, or any other conventional attribute soul skill in the soul master world, the Annihilation Purple Lightning could produce an overwhelming suppression effect against them.
Especially when facing scattered area attacks or attacks formed from a single type of energy, its advantage was even more devastating and unstoppable.
Lin Qingmo remembered that in the later era of the Douluo Continent, during the Peerless Tang Sect period, there was a powerful dragon-type soul beast known as the Rouge Dragon, which naturally controlled this annihilation attribute.
Relying solely on this innate divine ability, the Rouge Dragon became an almost invincible, terrifying existence among soul beasts of the same level.
Such a heaven-defying attribute could be considered extremely rare throughout the Douluo Continent's tens of thousands of years of history.
No matter how one looked at it, the appearance of the Annihilation Purple Lightning directly multiplied the power of his fourth soul skill several times over.
This was definitely a tremendous fortune that countless people in the soul master world could only dream of obtaining.
Aside from the ultimate transformation of his fourth soul ring, the greatest surprise was that he had successfully condensed his fifth soul ring.
Moreover, this soul ring was not an ordinary one obtained by hunting a soul beast but a legendary Natal Soul Ring.
A top-tier Natal Soul Ring with an age as high as ninety thousand years, infinitely close to the hundred-thousand-year level.
A Natal Soul Ring is completely condensed from the origin power of one's own martial soul.
It can achieve one hundred percent perfect compatibility with one's soul, martial soul, and meridians, without even the slightest rejection.
Even more heaven-defying is that this natal soul ring could continuously evolve as his cultivation improved.
Eventually, it might even break through the shackles of a hundred thousand years and reach a god-level.
This priceless opportunity could never be exchanged for even the wealth of the entire Douluo Continent.
And this ninety-thousand-year Natal Soul Ring also brought him an incomparably fierce fifth soul skill.
Lin Qingmo named this new soul skill: Blue Silver Life-Destruction Torrent.
This soul skill was also his strongest offensive method at the moment.
He only needed to use the origin of his Blue Silver Life-Destruction Tree as a guide and activate the life origin and annihilation origin within his body to create an endless Blue Silver Life-Destruction Torrent sweeping across heaven and earth.
Every drop of liquid within the torrent contained the dual ultimate powers of life and annihilation.
Wherever the torrent swept through, the life attribute would forcibly plunder all life, matter, soul power, and energy, then convert it entirely into annihilation power.
This would cause the power of the torrent to increase endlessly like a snowball.
Simply put, the more things the torrent struck and the more energy it absorbed, the more terrifying its power would become.
The more it fought, the fiercer it became, without any limit.
As for the transformed annihilation attribute, it would directly erase all matter, soul power, soul skills, and every form of energy along its path.
No matter how solid the defense or how domineering the soul skill, before this Life-Destruction Torrent, everything would be erased.
The most heaven-defying part was that this soul skill could also freely switch attack modes according to his will.
It could gather all its power into a single-line ultra-condensed slash, unleashing an extremely terrifying single-target attack, or it could instantly spread into a full-domain area attack, forming a destructive strike that covered heaven and earth.
Within its range, nothing could remain intact, and nothing could withstand it.
