In Chen Yuan's perception, the Blue Silver Grass, the most common weed, now appeared layered and intricate. Each blade of grass revealed the strength of its life energy.
By tracing the intensity of this life energy, Chen Yuan finally located what seemed to be the Blue Silver Forest, the hiding place of the Blue Silver King.
It was an ancient forest, untouched by human hands, filled with a raw and wild aura.
Chen Yuan led the group to land. By now, he was certain that the Blue Silver King was within this forest. His spiritual power had locked onto a soul beast radiating immense life energy, one that seemed to merge seamlessly with the forest itself.
Without a doubt, this was the Blue Silver King. Though it only had 85,000 years of cultivation, within the Blue Silver Forest, its strength was comparable to that of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
Chen Yuan's eyes shone with intensity, as if they could pierce through the forest's barriers and land directly on the Blue Silver King. He spoke calmly:
"The Blue Silver King is inside. We'll go in now. Stay close to me. As the king of this forest, its strength is not to be underestimated."
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling nodded in agreement. Though they remained alert, there was no fear on their faces. With Chen Yuan by their side, they had nothing to worry about.
Under Chen Yuan's lead, the three entered the Blue Silver Forest. The name was fitting, as they soon encountered numerous Blue Silver Grass that had gained sentience. Hundred-year and thousand-year soul beasts were everywhere, but only one ten-thousand-year soul beast existed in the core area. It seemed that kings were always unique.
Soon, they reached the center of the forest. A towering tree stood there, lush and vibrant, its translucent form shimmering with a blue glow. The life energy radiating from it caused the surrounding Blue Silver Grass to grow exceptionally lush.
In truth, this tree was the Blue Silver King. Having reached 85,000 years of cultivation, its form had undergone significant changes to accommodate its immense power.
Sensing the presence of intruders, the tree fully awakened. A weathered human face emerged on its trunk, its expression solemn. A威严 voice echoed from its mouth, seeming to come from all directions:
"Who are you? Wait… this is the aura of the Emperor! What have you done to the Emperor?"
Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly. With a wave of his hand, the Seven Kill Divine Sword appeared in his grasp. At the same time, the Asura Domain rapidly expanded.
He had come to hunt a soul beast. There was no need for conversation. No matter how persuasive he might be, the soul beast would never willingly offer itself as a sacrifice. Moreover, this Blue Silver King seemed fiercely loyal to the Blue Silver Emperor.
The crimson light of the Asura Domain spread, its intense and palpable killing intent plunging the Blue Silver King's soul into a hellish nightmare. Its consciousness froze completely.
In the next moment, Chen Yuan slashed out six sword beams. The six golden beams formed a golden character for "kill," tearing through space and leaving a deep scar as they shot forward.
The Blue Silver King had no time to react. By the time it regained its senses, it could only watch as the "kill" character struck its body. The overwhelming sword energy began to ravage its form.
"Ah!"
A mournful wail echoed from its soul.
The massive tree was cleaved in half, collapsing to one side with a thunderous crash. The once-vast life energy within it withered to a faint flicker.
However, the fact that the Blue Silver King was still alive after Chen Yuan's attack spoke volumes about its tenacity. A single "kill" character from Chen Yuan could slay a Titled Douluo, yet the Blue Silver King clung to life.
At the same time, the entire forest trembled. Countless blades of Blue Silver Grass contributed a sliver of their power, forming streams of blue energy that flowed toward the forest's center. These streams converged into a vast blue ocean, brimming with life energy.
If the Blue Silver King could absorb this energy, it would undoubtedly recover to its peak state. However, the crimson Asura Domain acted as a barrier, repelling the blue energy.
Chen Yuan glanced over and said with a smile:
"Lingling, come here. This Blue Silver King is no ordinary foe. Ordinary weapons won't be enough to finish it. Take my Seven Kill Divine Sword and deliver the final blow. It's already severely wounded and can't fight back. The surrounding Blue Silver Grass is also blocked by my Asura Domain, so you have nothing to worry about."
Ye Lingling hurried forward, taking the Seven Kill Divine Sword from Chen Yuan. Infused with the Asura Domain's power, her confidence and courage surged. She strode forward with her head held high.
On the severed tree, the weathered face contorted in pain. It stared at Ye Lingling, sensing the aura of the Emperor from her. It asked again:
"Who are you? What have you done to the Emperor?"
Ye Lingling ignored it. Her expression was serious, her gaze resolute. She raised the Seven Kill Divine Sword with both hands and thrust it forward. Even if she couldn't unleash even one percent of the sword's power, its inherent sharpness was enough to pierce through the tree trunk once more.
"Ah!"
The Blue Silver King let out another mournful cry, its voice growing weaker as its life force rapidly dissipated. Even in its final moments, it managed to ask:
"What have you done to the Emperor?"
Chen Yuan stepped forward and replied calmly:
"You already know the answer. What's the point of asking again and again?"
The Blue Silver King's soul trembled violently, filled with unwillingness and rage:
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The Emperor cannot die! As long as Blue Silver Grass exists, the Emperor is immortal…"
Its voice trailed off as the Blue Silver King finally perished. Its life force completely dissipated. No matter how resilient its vitality was, it couldn't withstand the combined power of the Seven Kill Divine Sword's sword energy and killing intent.
A pillar of light shot into the sky, the vast energy accumulated within the Blue Silver King's body now bursting forth. It gradually condensed into a soul ring—a deep, profound black soul ring.
Chen Yuan turned to Ye Lingling and said:
"Prepare yourself. Begin absorbing this soul ring. Your fifth soul ring came from the Blue Silver Emperor, and this eighth soul ring from the Blue Silver King will be the most suitable for you."
Ye Lingling nodded with a bright smile:
"I'll do my best."
She sat cross-legged, meditating briefly to adjust her body and spirit to their optimal state. Then, she began absorbing the soul ring.
As the black soul ring merged into her body, the process was surprisingly smooth. Having previously consumed the Blue Silver Emperor, the power from this kindred source was absorbed with relative ease.
However, with the death of the Blue Silver King, it seemed as if the entire forest was mourning. But with Chen Yuan's presence suppressing any potential threats, no danger arose.
