Even though plant-type soul beasts may possess extremely unique abilities, they ultimately still have their weaknesses. They cannot move and cannot dodge. By relying on mental shock attacks, Wang Li repeatedly interrupted the Ten-Thousand-Year Evergreen whenever it attempted to activate its sealing ability.
After three hours of back-and-forth struggle, the Ten-Thousand-Year Evergreen's aura had already dropped to its lowest point. Wang Li then launched the final assault, sending both ice poison and fire poison into its body.
It seemed as if an aged wail echoed across the mountaintop, but Wang Li's heart was as hard as stone and he paid no attention to it.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The towering tree that reached into the clouds finally collapsed. Its lush and dense crown completely withered under the repeated destruction caused by the ice poison and fire poison.
Black streams of energy surged wildly, like a violent storm. After the storm subsided, a deep black soul ring appeared above the remains of the Ten-Thousand-Year Evergreen.
Seeing the soul ring, Wang Li finally let out a long breath of relief. At that moment his head felt as if it were splitting apart, a result of excessive consumption of mental power.
He had killed a fifty-thousand-year soul beast, but the cost had been enormous. The life force of the Ten-Thousand-Year Evergreen was terrifyingly strong. Fortunately, the ice poison and fire poison were extremely domineering.
Wang Li quickly sat cross-legged and began circulating his cultivation technique to stabilize his condition. He refined the energy transmitted by the Blue Silver Grass through the Blue Silver Domain, allowing himself to recover rapidly.
At that moment, Dugu Bo arrived with Dugu Yan. Both of them found it hard to believe that Wang Li had truly succeeded. Relying on his own strength, he had killed a fifty-thousand-year soul beast.
Half an hour later, Wang Li finally woke up. Seeing that Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were both present, he smiled and said,
"Grandpa, Sister Yan, I succeeded. I need to absorb this soul ring first. I'll leave the protection to you."
Dugu Bo nodded and then reminded him,
"Guard your mind carefully. Don't worry about anything outside. Focus on absorbing the soul ring with all your strength."
Hearing this, Wang Li naturally felt reassured. He called the soul ring with his martial spirit. The black soul ring seemed incredibly heavy as it slowly floated toward him, then settled onto his martial spirit before merging into it.
In an instant, Wang Li felt an immense surge of energy rushing into both himself and his martial spirit. It was vast, boundless, and seemingly endless.
This was the second time Wang Li had absorbed a ten-thousand-year soul ring, so he already had experience handling it. He fully circulated his soul power, and golden light spread throughout his limbs, organs, meridians, and dantian.
At the same time, he used the special ability of the Dream Illusion Head Soul Bone to confuse the perception of reality and illusion, setting up a trap and waiting for the Ten-Thousand-Year Evergreen to take the bait.
Sure enough, a remnant soul filled with resentment rushed in. It roared wildly, but having fallen into Wang Li's trap, it could not find where Wang Li's consciousness truly was.
After a long time, the powerless remnant soul vented its resentment and finally dissipated completely.
After that came Wang Li's absorption of the soul ring itself. The power within the soul ring was far too immense. Only because of his powerful body was he not overwhelmed by it, but even so it took three to four hours to fully refine.
Everything proceeded steadily. When he finally opened his eyes again, he had already become a Soul Emperor.
Around Wang Li, blue silver branches spread outward. Six soul rings circled him: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black. The two black soul rings radiated a powerful pressure.
Wang Li then opened his panel and looked at it.
Host: Wang Li
Martial Spirit: Blue Silver King Lv6 (evolving)
Soul Power: Level 63 (18%)
Trait: Vitality Lv6 (As the one-in-ten-thousand king of Blue Silver Grass, the Blue Silver King possesses immense life force, a powerful body, tremendous strength, and rapid recovery ability.)
Passive: Tenacity Lv6 (What does not kill me will make me stronger. As long as he does not die from abnormal conditions, his physique will greatly improve after recovery.)
Domain: Blue Silver Domain Lv3 (The exclusive domain of the Blue Silver Emperor and a necessary domain for the Blue Silver King to advance toward becoming the Blue Silver Emperor.)
Soul Rings: First Soul Ring (equipped), Second Soul Ring (equipped), Third Soul Ring (equipped), Fourth Soul Ring (equipped), Fifth Soul Ring (equipped), Sixth Soul Ring (equipped)
Soul Bone: Dream Flower Demon Head Soul Bone (equipped)
Battle Experience: 362840
Because he absorbed the soul ring beyond his level, Wang Li directly reached level 63 soul power. Even the Blue Silver Domain had increased by one level.
Wang Li also realized that the various abilities of the Blue Silver Domain could be actively developed by him.
At level one, the Blue Silver Domain had a passive detection ability. At level two, camouflage became a passive ability. At level three, after sensing it carefully, Wang Li realized that he could temporarily raise all Blue Silver Grass within the domain to the strength of his Blue Silver King martial spirit and then control them to fight.
Wang Li was quite satisfied with this. Next, he examined his sixth soul ring. After locating it on the panel and touching it with his will, a new interface immediately appeared.
Soul Skill: Blue Silver Barrier (Wherever Blue Silver vines spread, a Blue Silver Barrier can be released. Within the barrier, energy becomes solidified and all enemies are frozen within it. Unless it is voluntarily lifted, forcibly breaking free will cause severe backlash from the shattering barrier, and the resulting energy storm will tear apart all enemies.)
Source: Ten-Thousand-Year Evergreen (one of the top plant-type soul beasts, possessing the ability to solidify energy and capable of casting an absolute seal that locks the enemy's time at that very moment)
Age: 59,724 (+)
After reading this, Wang Li could not help but gasp. This soul skill left enemies with almost no chance of survival. Once trapped within the barrier, weaker opponents could not break free at all and would essentially be sealed. Even stronger opponents who managed to escape would still suffer severe backlash.
A fifty-thousand-year soul skill required enormous energy. If that energy formed an energy storm, a Soul Sage would certainly be reduced to fragments. As for a Soul Douluo, if their defense was even slightly weaker, they might also be torn apart.
At this moment, Dugu Bo asked curiously,
"Finished absorbing it? A soul skill from more than fifty thousand years should be quite domineering."
Hearing this, Wang Li turned and said,
"Yes, it's extremely domineering. Within the range of my martial spirit, I can deploy a barrier that freezes enemies inside. It's essentially a control skill. At the same time, when enemies break free and the barrier shatters, it forms a terrifying energy storm capable of tearing apart a Soul Sage and severely injuring a Soul Douluo."
Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan both widened their eyes, filled with shock.
Wang Li stood up and stretched his body. Under the guidance of his soul power, he suddenly sensed that there was still something inside the remains of the Ten-Thousand-Year Evergreen.
His face immediately lit up with excitement. This feeling could not be wrong.
A soul bone. It had to be a soul bone.
Given the high age of the Ten-Thousand-Year Evergreen, the probability of producing a soul bone was quite high. Moreover, it had been hunted and killed by him alone, so it must have been filled with unwillingness and resentment.
Immediately, Wang Li strode toward the remains of the Ten-Thousand-Year Evergreen.
