Tang Hao's final blood-red soul ring made the Blue Silver King elder's pupils shrink in shock!
That was…
The aura of the Emperor!
But—there was no resentment within it.
Which meant—
The Emperor had not been hunted down and killed.
Instead—
She had willingly sacrificed herself?!
Tang Hao's Orders
"Do not speak of today's events to anyone."
Tang Hao's voice was cold—
"Teach him how to use the Blue Silver Domain's camouflage ability. Make sure his Blue Silver Emperor and soul rings are disguised as 'genius-level'—nothing more."
"Do you understand?"
The Blue Silver King elder had survived 85,000 years, so naturally, he understood the way of survival.
Leaving aside the fact that Tang Hao was once connected to the former Emperor—
Just the fact that the man was a Titled Douluo was enough reason not to cross him.
"As you command, Your Excellency."
With a respectful bow, he added, "Today, aside from the Emperor, I have seen no one else."
Tang Hao nodded slightly.
He took one last deep look at the cocoon of light—
Then decisively turned and left.
It was not yet time to reveal everything.
Xiao Lan was only six years old.
There was no need for him to bear so much pain just yet.
Seven Days and Seven Nights Later
Only after seven full days and nights did the light cocoon finally stir—
Slowly dissolving.
Until it was completely absorbed—
Revealing Tang Lan, stark naked.
He had grown significantly taller, his muscles sculpted like they had been carved by a master craftsman.
A head of flowing blue hair danced lightly in the breeze.
But the biggest change?
His already handsome face had been directly maxed out in beauty!
His skin was radiant and fair, giving him the clean, refreshing look of a sunshine boy.
Strength Unleashed
Inside—
Tang Lan felt his entire body brimming with power.
His meridians, which had already been reconstructed twice, had been further enhanced yet again.
Everything—
From the speed of his internal energy circulation,
To the efficiency of soul power absorption,
To the upper limits of his meridian capacity—
Had all surpassed previous levels by far.
"Buzzzzz—"
"Buzzzzz—"
The lingering energy of the cocoon wrapped around his Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, forming two radiant soul rings.
Their deep purple glow was exceptionally dazzling!
WTF?!
Two thousand-year soul rings?!
His first and second soul rings were both millennium-level?!
But thinking about it—
His Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone was a 100,000-year soul bone,
Which had already significantly reinforced his body.
And with Nine Yang Divine Art at Grand Perfection,
Most of the energy just now had been spent forging his indestructible body.
Boundless Growth!
These boosts weren't minor—
With millennium-level soul rings, it was only natural.
In fact—
Tang Lan carefully examined his soul power level and discovered—
He was already at Level 24!
Since childhood, whenever Tang Lan had free time, he had cultivated Nine Yang Divine Art—
Because even when bottlenecked by a lack of soul rings, his level could still increase.
His level had already surpassed 15 long ago.
Unlike Tang San—
Who, without a significant boost in internal power, just assumed he was stuck at a bottleneck and didn't bother training much.
Additionally—
While the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone primarily enhanced physical strength, it also provided a slight boost to soul power.
And just now—when the Blue Silver Grass transformed into the Blue Silver Emperor, his level had risen further.
So Level 24 was perfectly reasonable.
The Blue Silver King's Congratulations
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Your Blue Silver Emperor has fully awakened!"
The Blue Silver King elder spoke with joy—
"These two soul rings were generated from your own being. By human standards, they are equivalent to 6,500 years."
"This is also the limit of what your body can currently withstand. However, as your physique strengthens, they will evolve accordingly."
Self-Evolving Soul Rings?!
Holy shit!
Soul rings that automatically evolve?!
That meant his first two soul rings would at minimum evolve to 10,000 years!
Without hesitation, Tang Lan summoned his Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor.
Its vibrant green body had grown several times thicker,
And the golden patterns lining its leaves radiated nobility.
Then, he examined his soul ring abilities.
[First Soul Skill: Blue Silver Emperor Thorn!]
Two Stages:
① Bind:Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor extends barbed vines to entangle enemies, absorbing their blood and soul power to enhance itself!
— Due to the Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor's dual attributes of "Life" and "Soul", it can additionally drain vitality and spiritual power!
② Growth:Expends all absorbed energy to rapidly sprout inside the enemy's body, piercing their organs and crushing their bones!
"Hiss—!"
This is OP!
Too strong!
It combined control, weakening, and burst damage all in one—
No wonder it was a 6,500-year soul ring!
Not to mention—it could absorb life force and spiritual power—
A true mutated martial soul!
[Second Soul Skill: Blue Silver Emperor Burst!]
Detonates Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor, dealing damage to nearby enemies. The barbed thorns scatter in a designated direction!
This skill mimicked the explosive seed dispersion method—
An initial explosion, followed by a secondary scatter shot.
The best part?
The scattered "seeds" (barbed thorns) retained the draining effect of the First Soul Skill!
If they absorbed enough energy, they would trigger "Growth"!
A Devastating Chain Reaction
Imagine this—
If his First Soul Skill managed to bind an opponent, it would drain them on the spot.
If it missed, he could activate Second Soul Skill, detonating barbed thorns in all directions.
Even if the explosion didn't deal damage,
The scattered thorns that landed on the enemy would still drain their life force and soul power.
And once they had absorbed enough energy—
They would rapidly grow and bind the enemy all over again!
Inescapable Control!
His soul skills linked together flawlessly.
No matter what—his opponent couldn't escape his grasp!
As expected of innate soul rings,
they perfectly matched the Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor's attributes.
Tang Lan was extremely satisfied.
This trip?
Absolutely worth it!
Time Check
Tang Lan turned to the Blue Silver King elder and asked—
"How many days have passed?"
"Your Majesty, seven days have passed."
Oh?
Tang Lan wasn't worried at all.
He had already planned his explanation—
After awakening his martial soul, he felt a calling and followed it,
leading him to his mother, Ah Yin's resting place.
The Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone was a gift from his mother.
As for awakening the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul?
That was just a pleasant surprise.
And why hadn't Tang San felt the same calling?
Because his martial soul had mutated, duh!
The exact reason?
He's just a six-year-old kid!
How could he possibly understand all that?
Let them figure it out on their own.
The Art of Concealment
The Blue Silver King elder carefully spoke—
"Your Majesty, your Blue Silver Emperor's presence is far too conspicuous. It will not be safe to travel in the human world."
"With your mastery of the Blue Silver Domain, you can disguise your soul rings, alter the appearance of your martial soul, and even conceal your presence to evade pursuit."
With 85,000 years of wisdom,
the Blue Silver King had many useful techniques—
Including how to use vines to strangle, restrict movement, or crush enemies.
And he taught Tang Lan every single one.
Finally—
The elder condensed a simplified inheritance with his spiritual power
and embedded it within Tang Lan's consciousness.
"This will gradually enhance your spiritual power, making it easier for you to control the Blue Silver Emperor."** The elder's voice weakened.**
His once radiant body had turned semi-transparent, flickering like a dying lightbulb.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I must enter hibernation now."
"When I awaken again… I hope to see you rise to the top…"
Before he could finish—
His body shattered into particles of light,
returning to the towering Blue Silver Grass tree.
It was clear—
He had given everything to empower Tang Lan.
A Loyal Subject's Final Gift
"What a devoted subject."
Tang Lan sighed.
"Don't worry. I won't break my promise to you all."
Just as he was about to leave—
The ground trembled.
Thick roots burst forth,
slowly unfurling to reveal—
A massive pile of golden bricks!
Gold bricks?!
One of the thick roots extended toward Tang Lan,
its tip holding a simple yet ancient-looking ring.
Tang Lan took the ring and infused it with internal energy—
And in his mind's eye,
A five-meter cubed storage space appeared.
A storage-type soul tool?!
Tang Lan then casually picked up a gold brick and bit into it—
Leaving behind a clear row of teeth marks.
The gold content… was insanely pure!
This Blue Silver King…
Was way too considerate!
