Millions of blue silver grasses rose into the air, intertwining, entwining, and embracing each other tightly, coalescing in the center of the forest into a giant cocoon of light tens of feet high.
The cocoon's body flowed with a deep-sea-like azure and a sacred silver radiance, its edges entwined with golden, thread-like life patterns. Every blade of grass seemed to breathe, emanating a life force that shook the heavens and earth. The cocoon slowly rotated, protecting Lin Chen at its core. Its light grew ever brighter, illuminating the entire dark Blue Silver Forest. Even the life-giving specks in the air seemed to frantically pay homage, as if welcoming the arrival of a true emperor.
The entire process was quiet and solemn, without any roar, yet it possessed a majesty that could shake the very foundation of Douluo Star.
After an unknown amount of time, the giant cocoon trembled slightly.
"Snap—"
The first crack spread from the heart of the cocoon.
Immediately afterwards, countless blue lights emerged from the cocoon, scattering grass blades, and a tall, slender figure slowly walked out from the light.
At this moment, Lin Chen had undergone a complete transformation and was no longer a person.
His long, sapphire-blue hair cascaded to his waist, each strand shimmering with a warm, flowing light as it swayed gently in the breeze. His face was almost otherworldly handsome, with sharply defined features, a high nose, and clearly defined lips. His eyes, now a deep, star-like blue, were profound and sharp, concealing the majesty and indifference of a king of all spirits. His skin was as white as jade, surrounded by a faint blue-gold aura. His figure was as upright as a spear, and his demeanor had transformed from one of restraint and modesty to a cool, noble, and awe-inspiring kingly presence.
Simply by standing there, he commanded the entire Blue Silver Forest to bow down in submission.
He slowly raised his palm, and an extremely dazzling illusory image of his martial spirit rose from his palm—
Blue Silver Emperor.
No longer a humble and ordinary Blue Silver Grass, but a supreme martial spirit with a deep blue body, long and slender leaves like swords, and covered with gilded imperial patterns. The edges of the grass leaves are inlaid with gold, the roots are carved like divine jade, and a pale golden flower of life blooms at the top. Every leaf exudes the pressure of an emperor, sacred, domineering, and full of vitality. Just the aura it emits causes all the surrounding plants to grow wildly and kneel in submission.
What's even more alarming is—
His spirit rings have been completely renewed.
First Soul Ring: Purple Millennium
Second Soul Ring: As black as ink, ten thousand years
A level 26 dual-elemental Soul Master, combining support and control abilities!
Absorbing a ten-thousand-year-old soul ring beyond one's level was effortless at the moment of awakening the Blue Silver Emperor.
At the same time, a boundless, all-encompassing power of domain erupted from Lin Chen's body.
Blue Silver Realm.
Wherever the domain extends, plants and trees submit, life goes wild, all things become sharp blades, and all spirits become its subjects.
Lin Chen gently clenched his fist, feeling the surging soul power within his body, the supreme Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, the newly awakened domain, and the dormant power of the Holy Dragon of Light within him. A cold and confident smile slowly curved his lips.
The Blue Silver King gazed at Lin Chen, who had been reborn from the ashes. His aged face rippled with boundless piety and excitement. His long, silver-blue hair fluttered in the wind as he bowed deeply to Lin Chen, his voice echoing throughout the entire Blue Silver Forest:
"Welcome, Your Majesty! From this moment on, our Blue Silver Grass clan once again welcomes a true king!"
Billions of blue silver grasses fell down in unison, emitting a deafening sound of worship, as if all the life energy in the world was cheering for the new emperor.
Lin Chen nodded slightly, but his mind was already focused on his body, carefully examining the new power that had just awakened.
The moment his consciousness touched that jet-black, ten-thousand-year-old second spirit ring, a violent and pure attack intent instantly surged into his mind—
Blue Silver Overlord Spear!
It was actually the strongest innate attack soul skill of the Blue Silver Emperor lineage!
It was the ultimate move that Tang San only mastered after reaching level 50 in the original story, but now it had become Lin Chen's second soul skill!
Lin Chen was slightly taken aback, then chuckled.
He originally planned to let the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul follow a gentle path of life origin, healing, control, and support, thinking that the awakened soul skills would be healing, binding, or life amplification. However, he did not expect that it would directly awaken the most domineering and peak offensive soul skill.
Unexpected, yet a pleasant surprise.
With such an indestructible Blue Silver Overlord Spear in his hand, his combat power soared several levels, far surpassing that of ordinary level 20 Soul Masters.
What concerned him even more was—
This ten-thousand-year soul ring is not a dead ring, but a living ring that can continuously evolve its lifespan as his level increases.
Just like his first spirit ring.
Lin Chen's fingertips twitched slightly, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes:
"I wonder... once this spirit ring improves along with me and eventually evolves to 100,000 years, will it also give birth to a completely new spirit skill, just like my first spirit skill?"
Lin Chen raised his hand and took out a brand new set of black tight-fitting clothes from his spatial ring, and quickly changed into them—the surge of power and bloodline aura when the Blue Silver Emperor awakened had already torn his original clothes to shreds.
After tidying up, he turned around, his gaze calmly landing on the Blue Silver King, his tone indifferent yet carrying an undeniable imperial authority:
"Blue Silver King, are you willing to follow me and serve me as your master?"
Before the Blue Silver King could respond, Ah Yin, who had been suppressed within Lin Chen's mental sea, began to struggle violently as if she were going mad. Her silver-blue consciousness spheres clashed wildly against the mental barrier, and her shrill and anxious voice exploded in Lin Chen's mind:
"Lin Chen! You can't do this!"
"You will eventually leave. The Blue Silver King's mission is to protect the Blue Silver Clan and the Blue Silver Forest for generations to come! You clearly want him to become your third spirit ring, don't you?!"
Ah Yin understood perfectly.
The Blue Silver King is the human form of a Blue Silver Grass that has been around for over 80,000 years. He is the guardian of the entire Blue Silver Forest and the leader of all Blue Silver Grass. Lin Chen's offer to make him follow him wasn't to take him as a subordinate, but rather to covet his source power—
Once the Blue Silver King follows, Lin Chen, with his abilities, will surely refine him into the most perfect third soul ring!
However, if the Blue Silver King is taken away or hunted down, the Blue Silver Forest will lose its core protection, and the billions of Blue Silver Grass tribes will be completely exposed to the greed and danger of the outside world!
Ah Yin screamed desperately to stop them, her voice filled with despair and anger:
"I will never allow you to harm the Blue Silver King! I will never allow you to destroy this place!"
Lin Chen ignored Ah Yin's roar deep within his mind, his eyes calm and unwavering, yet he made no attempt to conceal his intentions—he did indeed covet the Blue Silver King's pure essence of over 80,000 years, and was even more confident that he could forcefully elevate it to a 100,000-year soul ring.
He just watched Blue Silver King quietly, without forcing or concealing anything.
The Blue Silver King, with its keen insight, instantly understood the new emperor's thoughts. It showed neither fear nor resistance, but simply prostrated itself respectfully on the ground, its voice carrying a hint of helplessness and resolve:
"Your Highness, I am willing to follow you for eternity, even if it means becoming your soul ring, I will have no complaints. However… I bear the mission of protecting the Blue Silver Grass clan and guarding the Blue Silver Forest. Hundreds of millions of people cannot be without a protector, so please do not blame me, Your Highness."
It was willing to die for Lin Chen, but it could not abandon its entire clan.
Lin Chen nodded slightly, not insisting.
It was just a casual attempt; if it succeeded, it would be a pleasant surprise, and if it failed, it wouldn't be a big deal. He never intended to seize it by force.
"Get up."
He waved his sleeve lightly, no longer mentioning the matter, and instead took out the ancient map recording all the treasure lands of Douluo Star from his spatial ring. With a light tap of his fingertip, he quickly selected his next destination based on his current location.
Ah Yin in the mental space was still struggling violently, but when she heard Lin Chen stop pressuring the Blue Silver King, her movements finally froze, leaving only endless vigilance and unease.
Lin Chen put away the map, his aura of the Blue Silver Emperor slightly subsided, and he turned to leave the place that had given birth to him. Lin Chen had only taken a few steps when the ground beneath his feet suddenly trembled slightly.
A dull tremor came from afar, as if some kind of spirit was approaching the Blue Silver Forest step by step.
He was heading to an ancient ruin hidden in a spatial fold, not far from here, but at this moment, the aura he was looking at carried an extremely domineering sense of oppression, rushing straight towards him.
Lin Chen raised an eyebrow and turned to ask the Blue Silver King:
"What kind of spirit beast is that?"
But Blue Silver King's originally calm and respectful expression instantly turned solemn, tense, and even a little apprehensive.
It looked up in the direction from which the vibration was coming, its voice slightly strained:
"Oh no... that guy is coming again."
A single sentence caused the entire Blue Silver Forest to stir slightly.
Even the Blue Silver King, who has guarded this place for tens of thousands of years, is so wary... The one who comes is definitely not an ordinary soul beast.
Lin Chen's gaze sharpened, and he immediately looked at the Blue Silver King: "What kind of soul beast is it?"
Blue Silver King's face was tense, and his voice was solemn: "It is a spider-type soul beast that is over 90,000 years old. I have never seen its kind in Douluo Continent. Its origin is very strange. The most terrifying thing is that it has an extremely strong devouring attribute. It can absorb soul power, bloodline, and life essence. It has even devoured the life force of Blue Silver Forest."
Before the words were finished, the tremors in the distance grew more and more intense, and the earth emitted a deep rumble.
Lin Chen suddenly turned his head to look.
At the edge of the dense forest, an enormous, pitch-black figure burst through the trees, slowly revealing its true form—
It was a giant spider covered in a thick carapace of dark purple and inky black. Its eight legs were as thick as pillars, with sharp, dark gold barbs at the tips. Each time it landed, it created a deep crater. The carapace was covered with strange spiral patterns and exuded a chilling, devouring aura.
Instead of the compound eyes of a typical spider, its head had a single, dark gold, vertical pupil, its eye as black as an abyss, seemingly capable of swallowing all light. Its mouth was split open, covered with fine, sharp fangs, dripping with thick, black venom that instantly withered and turned vegetation to ash wherever it landed.
Most terrifyingly, it has rings of blood-red suckers growing on its abdomen, constantly emitting a hazy, devouring power that forcibly pulls even the life-giving specks in the air into its body.
Its massive size, as large as a mountain, and its oppressive aura, as heavy as a prison, unabashedly crushed down with the terrifying aura of 90,000 years of cultivation, carrying a ferocity and eeriness that did not belong to this continent.
Lin Chen's eyes turned slightly cold.
This thing... certainly doesn't resemble the native soul beasts of Douluo Continent.
At the same time, the giant spider also locked onto Lin Chen's figure.
A flash of golden light appeared in his vertical pupils, filled with greed and murderous intent.
The giant spider locked onto Lin Chen, its dark golden vertical pupils surging with undisguised greed.
It could clearly smell the extremely pure Blue Silver Emperor bloodline within Lin Chen's body. It was the most concentrated and purest life essence on the entire Douluo Star. Even though Lin Chen's cultivation level was still low, it was a rare and invaluable tonic for this soul beast that relied on devouring. As long as it devoured Lin Chen, it could not only solidify its foundation but also break through its shackles and achieve a lifespan of 100,000 years!
Lin Chen also stared coldly at the giant spider, his eyes sharp as knives.
He saw through the soul beast's true nature at a glance—
With over 90,000 years of cultivation, nearing 100,000 years, his foundation is still weak and unstable. It is clear that he forcibly accumulated his strength by devouring all things, resulting in extremely poor foundation and a strong exterior but weak interior.
The Blue Silver King's body instantly swelled, radiating a brilliant silver-blue light. Countless thick blue-silver vines burst forth from the earth, fiercely protecting Lin Chen behind him. His aged face was filled with determination: "Your Highness! Retreat quickly! Even if it costs me my life, I will hold off this beast for you!"
Lin Chen looked at the Blue Silver King protecting him, a hint of warmth flashing in his azure eyes, but his tone was firm. He took a step forward and stood directly in front of the Blue Silver King, the aura of the Blue Silver Emperor slowly spreading out around him.
"As your emperor, how can I abandon my people and flee alone?"
His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable kingly air. He raised his hand and pointed at the ferocious giant spider: "You only need to step forward and hold it off for me for a moment. I will kill this spider myself."
Blue Silver King was startled and turned to look at Lin Chen, who had just awakened and was only level 26. He was anxious and wanted to dissuade him, but when he met Lin Chen's deep, confident eyes that held endless sharpness, all the words stuck in his throat.
An indescribable feeling of emotion and loyalty instantly filled the Blue Silver King's chest.
It said no more, but nodded heavily, its beard and hair flying: "Your Highness, I obey! Please be careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Blue Silver King unleashed his full power, and billions of Blue Silver Grasses swept towards the Devouring Giant Spider like a tsunami. A great battle between an emperor and a 90,000-year-old soul beast was about to break out!
