Chapter 175: First Soul Ring of the Main Body Martial Soul
🕑 Added 2025-01-17 17:40:42 +0000 UTCAs time passed, the Blue Silver King seemed to have made up its mind and finally spoke: "I can cooperate with you, but how can I be sure you will keep your promises? How can I be sure you will protect the Blue Silver Grass tribe?"
Yang Podi nodded: "As long as we reach an agreement, the four of us can swear an oath with our martial souls to honor the agreement. You can also communicate with your people beforehand, and we'll use storage soul tools to bring them and your seeds out. We'll resettle them elsewhere."
"Of course, the storage soul tools are limited in size, and we can only carry about 200 cubic meters with the soul tools that can store living creatures, so I'm not sure how many of your people we can take. It's best to prioritize Blue Silver Grass that's at least a thousand years old."
The Blue Silver King nodded: "This won't be a problem. I can gather all the Blue Silver Grass, and with the strength of your Title Douluo, you can use soul power to lift and carry them."
Yang Podi smiled: "Then can we finalize the agreement? If so, try to increase your age as much as possible. I'm not sure how much the Explosive Soul Pill will enhance you, but it's best if you directly reach 98,000 years."
The Blue Silver King nodded: "That's fine. We can finalize the agreement now. I hope you will keep your promises and treat our Blue Silver Grass tribe well."
After a glance exchanged among the four, Yang Podi spoke first: "I, Yang Podi, swear on my martial soul to honor the agreement with the Blue Silver King. After the Blue Silver King sacrifices itself to me, I will help it regrow quickly and assist the Blue Silver Grass tribe members who leave with us in their rapid growth. If I break my oath, my martial soul will shatter."
Though the others appeared somewhat perplexed, they also swore in the same manner.
The Blue Silver King nodded: "I hope I won't become a sinner of the Blue Silver tribe."
After speaking, the Blue Silver King seemed to be communicating with the countless Blue Silver Grass around. Soon, all the Blue Silver Grass in the forest seemed to come alive, as if bowing to the Blue Silver King. These Blue Silver Grasses, imbued with an immense life force, began to flow toward the Blue Silver King.
As time passed, the life force from the entire Blue Silver Forest slowly concentrated, eventually forming an ocean of Blue Silver Grass. The Blue Silver King, standing among them, resembled an emperor surrounded by its subjects.
At the same time, countless life forces poured into the Blue Silver King, causing its aura to grow stronger. Its soul power increased from 85,000 years and continued to rise, eventually reaching around 98,000 years. It seemed this was the Blue Silver King's limit.
Yang Podi thought to himself: "This Blue Silver King is indeed impressive. It's probably close to possessing the full strength of the Blue Silver Emperor, apart from its bloodline. If it can undergo the final bloodline transformation, it would be incredibly powerful."
At that moment, a branch of the Blue Silver King reached out toward Yang Podi. Yang Podi took out the Explosive Soul Pill.
The Blue Silver King used its branches to wrap the Explosive Soul Pill, placing it on a particularly robust Blue Silver Grass, which began to absorb the energy from the pill. Clearly, this was the true form of the Blue Silver King.
As time passed, after consuming the Explosive Soul Pill, the Blue Silver King's soul power steadily climbed. Although the increase was slow, its aura grew more and more terrifying.
Eventually, after three full days, the Blue Silver King underwent a transformation. Its body radiated a kingly aura, as well as the energy of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
At the same time, the sky darkened, and the air seemed to crackle with lightning, as if a heavenly tribulation were descending.
The countless Blue Silver Grasses around, despite having lost much of their life force, seemed to sway, bowing to the newly transformed Blue Silver Emperor as though welcoming the birth of a new ruler.
The Blue Silver King spoke: "Young man, come over quickly. I fear I won't last much longer before the heavenly tribulation arrives. Let's complete the sacrifice while we still can."
Yang Podi nodded and walked over to the newly transformed Blue Silver Emperor. He sat down beside it and seemed to think of something. He spoke to the Blue Silver Emperor: "For now, I don't wish to absorb a soul bone. Please don't let the soul bone you create enter my body just yet."
The Blue Silver Emperor nodded, and Yang Podi summoned his main martial soul, his entire body turning silver.
At that moment, the Blue Silver Emperor seemed to make a decisive choice. The entire world turned blood red. Everything within the red hue, including people and objects, was trapped under a special rule, unable to move. Even time and space seemed frozen.
A massive blood-red soul ring appeared on the Blue Silver Emperor, matching the power and size of the Titan Giant Ape's soul ring. Clearly, this Blue Silver Emperor possessed immense strength and had the most perfect life attributes.
The blood-red soul ring slowly floated toward Yang Podi. Countless energies scattered around Yang Podi, gradually taking shape. These energies appeared to greatly enhance and modify his body, even healing his internal injuries.
The sacrifice process was relatively short, only taking six hours to complete. By then, a blood-red soul ring had appeared on Yang Podi, and his physical attributes had reached their peak once again.
Yang Podi even felt that the benefits of the hundred-thousand-year soul ring gained from this sacrifice far exceeded those of directly absorbing one. The enhancement and modification of his body were nearly perfect, with no rejection. It's no wonder that in the original story, after Tang San received the sacrifices of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python, his strength increased so significantly.
At the same time, a brilliant blue soul bone appeared on the Blue Silver Emperor's body, radiating pure life energy. It was clear this was a hundred-thousand-year soul bone.
But perhaps due to bad luck, it was another right leg soul bone. Yang Podi couldn't help but shake his head at his misfortune.
Yang Podi put away the Blue Silver Emperor's soul bone, and then he found a seed where the Blue Silver Emperor's body once stood. The seed seemed to contain a faint spiritual fluctuation.
Yang Podi spoke to the seed: "You'll probably fall into a deep slumber soon. It's best to order your people to gather so I can take them away."
The seed emitted a special soul power fluctuation, and all the Blue Silver Grass in the distance seemed to begin gathering, compressing until they formed a massive, blue sphere, about 100 meters in length and width. This sphere emanated the purest life force.
However, perhaps because of the Blue Silver Emperor's command, this enormous sphere of Blue Silver Grass did not attack the group.
Yang Podi put away the seed and walked over to his second grandfather, Yang Wushuang: "Second Grandpa, let's go to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye together. You can use your soul power to carry this Blue Silver Grass sphere with us. They shouldn't resist."
Upon hearing this, Yang Wushuang immediately began preparing for the journey.
Yang Podi then spoke to Dugu Bo: "Grandpa Dugu, are you planning to go to Heaven Dou City, or do you want to join us in the Sunset Forest to take a look?"
Dugu Bo couldn't help but laugh: "You little monster, I know what you're thinking. It seems like the Breaking Clan found some treasure in the Sunset Forest. I won't go; it'll just cause trouble."
Yang Podi and the others chuckled: "Grandpa Dugu, it's not much of a treasure. Just a special medicinal garden where the plants grow faster. It's one of the medicinal bases for our Breaking Clan."
Dugu Bo shook his head with a knowing look: "You little fox, it's not just an ordinary medicinal garden, is it? Otherwise, why would your second grandfather, a Title Douluo, be stationed there?"
In the end, Dugu Bo shook his head: "Forget it, I'm going to Heaven Dou City. I need to handle some matters in the palace."
Yang Zhen Tian, standing by, also laughed: "Grandpa Dugu, I also need to go to Heaven Dou City. It's been half a year since I left, and I need to renegotiate some alchemy business so there's no trouble while the Breaking Clan is away from Heaven Dou City."
After a brief conversation, the two of them left together.
As Yang Podi and his second grandfather Yang Wushuang left, the latter used his soul power to carry the massive Blue Silver Grass sphere, flying directly towards the Sunset Forest.
Upon arriving at the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye, Yang Wushuang planted the Blue Silver Emperor's seed in a suitable spot, then separately created an area around it to place the Blue Silver Grass.
These Blue Silver Grasses seemed highly intelligent and well-behaved. After entering the area Yang Wushuang had prepared, they quickly took root, each appearing quite excited, clearly pleased with their new home. Even the planted Blue Silver Emperor seed emitted a faint fluctuation of soul power, indicating its excitement.
Yang Wushuang spoke to Yang Podi: "Podi, what are your plans now? Will you head straight back to Almo Mountain, or do you have other places to go?"
Yang Podi shook his head: "Second Grandpa, I plan to visit Heaven Dou City. There are some matters I may need to handle."
"Second Grandpa, you should be cautious here as well. These Blue Silver Grasses are not weak. You can cultivate them into a protective measure for the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye. With the protection of ten-thousand-year soul beasts, it should be safer here. Even if you leave, you won't need to worry so much."
Yang Wushuang nodded: "That's a good idea. I will pay attention to it. Your strength is good now, but still, be careful in Heaven Dou City."
With that, Yang Podi left the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye, preparing to head to Heaven Dou City. However, this time, he planned to travel slowly, not rushing to fly to Heaven Dou City.
At the same time, Yang Podi reflected on the gains from his recent journey.
First, he had obtained two hundred-thousand-year soul rings, including the Breaking Soul Spear's seventh soul ring from the Titan Giant Python and the first soul ring of the Blue Silver Emperor's Body martial soul. After obtaining these two soul rings, Yang Podi's strength greatly increased. His soul power had reached level 76, and the enhancement to his body from the two hundred-thousand-year soul rings, especially the one from the Blue Silver Emperor, was terrifying.
In terms of power, Yang Podi could now easily battle a normal Title Douluo, even having a good chance of victory. As he had anticipated, the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor soul ring brought immense recovery and vitality to his body.
He also gained two excellent soul skills. First, the Body martial soul's first soul skill: Blue Silver Recovery, which allowed him to heal himself or others with soul power, achieving remarkable effects, even regrowing severed limbs. From now on, he would essentially be an unkillable "little cockroach."
Yang Podi even felt that with this soul skill, he could function as a healing soul master, and his healing effects could rival the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg soul bone.
At the same time, Yang Podi marveled: "No wonder Tang Hao was so strong. Even after using his explosive soul ring, he could recover quickly, no matter how severe the injury, and escape. This must have been the result of the Blue Silver Emperor's sacrifice for him. Unfortunately, the Blue Silver Emperor's soul ring feels somewhat out of place when used on an offensive weapon martial soul. If someone suggested adding the Blue Silver Emperor's soul ring to my Breaking Soul Spear, I'd refuse to do so under any circumstances."
The Body martial soul's second soul skill: Blue Silver Control. This soul skill was similar to Blue Silver Bind, but instead of using Blue Silver Grass to control, it formed a kind of domain with soul power, wrapping and controlling enemies while absorbing their life force and soul power. This was a group control skill, somewhat similar to Tang San's Heaven Blue Silent Thunder, but Tang San's was lightning-based and more domineering. Yang Podi's soul skill had an absorbing effect, combining the concepts of devouring and controlling.
Yang Podi couldn't help but sigh: "The main martial soul is really versatile. This first soul ring embodies the Blue Silver Emperor's two strongest features—healing and control/absorption abilities."
Yang Podi even felt that if he used both the Breaking Soul Spear's weapon soul true body and his Body martial soul's second soul skill simultaneously, it would create the perfect balance of powerful offense and control, even greatly enhancing his mobility.
