Chapter 222: Su Yun's Spirit Evolves Again! The Sixth Spirit Ring, One Hundred Thousand Years!
"Must be applied directly to the physical entity." After quickly reviewing the effects of the Primeval Essence, Su Yun altered his planned route, deciding to head straight to the Tiandou Empire upon landing.
After a period of drifting at sea, Su Yun finally landed and, with the help of the nearby Spirit Hall, quickly made his way to the Sunset Forest outside Tiandou Imperial City to find Dugu Bo.
In the Sunset Forest, Dugu Bo was meditating as usual, deeply engrossed in his training. With Su Yun's help previously, his spirit power had broken through years of stagnation, evolving from the perpetual level ninety-one to level ninety-two, causing his spirit to mutate—reaping many benefits.
Particularly, the toxins in his evolved spirit were so unique that even someone as experienced as him knew nothing about them, necessitating a lot of time to study his spirit in detail.
"Hmm?"
While in a meditative state, Dugu Bo suddenly felt someone trigger the poison array he had set up around the perimeter, causing his expression to change slightly.
Some time ago, he had declared the Sunset Forest as his stronghold to everyone in Tiandou Imperial City, warning that no one should enter without permission. Although this was quite domineering, given Dugu Bo's strength and temperament, very few dared to defy his decree.
"I've already given orders; someone is really courting death, truly ignorant!" Dugu Bo stood up, his gaze fixed on the location where his poison array had been triggered, "Since you insist on seeking death, let this old man see exactly who you are, which family's spy perhaps."
Some hidden clans speculated that Dugu Bo's breakthrough in spirit power was connected to the Sunset Forest where he had resided for many years, so they often secretly sent people to infiltrate it, hoping to uncover the secrets behind Dugu Bo's spirit evolution and power enhancement.
However, typical spies could hardly last long once they encountered Dugu Bo's poison array and would helplessly die.
Swish!
Dugu Bo's face tensed, his black robe fluttered, and he transformed into a black streak, leaping towards the location where the poison array had been triggered.
"This tricky fellow managed to avoid my deadly poisons and infiltrate through a weak spot in the array." As a Title Douluo, Dugu Bo's mental power was extremely strong; despite the distance, he could still sense the exact location where his poison array had been compromised, thus pinpointing the 'enemy's' location.
Dugu Bo had planned to play a game of cat and mouse, teasing this 'little mouse' who had infiltrated his poison array. However, when he realized that this 'little mouse' was approaching a location that Su Yun had specifically instructed him to protect, his demeanor immediately became serious.
"Could it be that those people have discovered what Su Yun left behind?" Dugu Bo had always adhered to Su Yun's instructions, never entering the restricted area himself and preventing anyone else, including himself, from entering.
Dugu Bo did not dare delay any longer and immediately sped up, rushing towards the location to intercept the intruder.
In the Sunset Forest, a figure was rapidly running through the woods, and even though there were poison arrays behind him, he managed to neutralize them one by one with his spirit power.
Just as he was about to reach the central point of the Sunset Forest—the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well—a dark shadow descended from the sky like a meteor, landing right in front of him, blocking his path with an unstoppable momentum.
Dugu Bo descended and was ready to strike, but when he clearly saw the face of the newcomer, he was startled and exclaimed, "Su Yun?! It's you?!"
As a Title Douluo, Dugu Bo thought someone might be impersonating him, but the unique aura of the Blue Silver Emperor's Tree emitted by Su Yun was unmistakable—after all, this was the world's only Blue Silver Emperor spirit!
"Senior Dugu, long time no see," Su Yun greeted with a smile and a bow. "This time I'm here for something I left in your Sunset Forest. I just encountered your poison array outside and couldn't resist trying out the strength of your evolved spirit's poison array."
Hearing this, Senior Dugu couldn't help but give a wry smile, as Su Yun had effectively neutralized the poison array he had meticulously set up—he had seen it all from behind.
"Do you have any idea how much effort it takes to set up those poison arrays?" Senior Dugu said helplessly.
Su Yun chuckled, "Sorry about that."
"It's fine, since you're here, let's go to the center together. I can also share with you what I've been up to lately."
Senior Dugu naturally wouldn't refuse Su Yun's invitation. "It's perfect, being here alone isn't much fun. With you here, at least I have someone to talk to."
After Dugu Yan had merged with an external spirit bone, she had requested to go out for training on her own—a request Senior Dugu agreed to after much pleading.
The two walked side by side, not very quickly, and it took them about fifteen minutes to reach the center of the Sunset Forest.
Along the way, Senior Dugu listened in admiration to Su Yun's recent adventures.
"Sea God Island?"
"City of Slaughter?"
"Never mind Sea God Island for now, you actually managed to get through the City of Slaughter and walked the Hell Road?!" Senior Dugu's mouth hung open as if it could fit a light bulb. Being a Title Douluo, he was naturally aware of the City of Slaughter.
Just the fact that one could not use spirit power there was enough to render him powerless, so he had never thought about going to the City of Slaughter.
He could never have imagined that Su Yun, just thirteen years old, had already made it through the City of Slaughter alone!
In such a short time, it was almost monstrous.
Seeing Senior Dugu's shock and disbelief, Su Yun simply released a domain similar to the God of Slaughter domain once used by Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo. The moment the domain appeared, the familiar aura and intent of slaughter overwhelmed Senior Dugu, making him shiver as he realized that Su Yun had once again accomplished a miracle on the Douluo Continent.
"You really are something," Senior Dugu said with genuine admiration. He suddenly felt that his decision to follow Su Yun had been a very wise one.
If not for Su Yun, his granddaughter might have died long ago. How else would she have the opportunity to receive an external spirit bone and go out for training? And how could he himself have evolved his spirit and become a Title Douluo of level ninety-two, potentially even reaching level ninety-three?
"It's just a small thing; my goal is to become a Title Douluo as soon as possible." Su Yun planned to reach Title Douluo before he turned twenty, but at this rate, he felt he could achieve it even sooner.
Upon reaching the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Senior Dugu, as usual, stayed outside to guard everything, including Su Yun, while Su Yun went straight to where he had planted Ah Yin.
Seeing Ah Yin's plant body thriving after some time apart, Su Yun was thrilled.
He took out the Primeval Essence from his soul guidance device, opened the vial, and placed it in front of the Blue Silver Emperor's main body. A faint aura emitted from the bottle was absorbed by the Blue Silver Emperor. In the next second, a rich wave of life force rippled from the Blue Silver Emperor like water waves.
"Hissss—just a whiff of it has such strong effects?" Su Yun was internally amazed.
Ah Yin's soul then emerged from Su Yun's spirit space, excitedly watching her body's branches and leaves wave energetically. "Su Yun, hurry up and pour the Primeval Essence on it, it can hardly wait anymore."
The Blue Silver Emperor's main body craved the Primeval Essence in Su Yun's hands.
As Ah Yin spoke, Su Yun naturally didn't hesitate and poured the Primeval Essence evenly over the roots and leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor.
Hum.
The leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor shimmered with a mysterious and eye-catching glow along its veins.
Ah Yin suddenly sensed something and flew directly into the Blue Silver Emperor's main body.
"Su Yun, the evolution of the Blue Silver Emperor requires my control, and as it matures, its transformation also needs my intervention. I'll take control of this body for now," Ah Yin explained.
Su Yun nodded, "Alright, Sister Yin. It's good timing because I haven't used the Blue Silver Emperor's Crown to evolve my spirit yet. While waiting for you, I can take some time to elevate my spirit to a new level."
With that, Su Yun took out the Blue Silver Emperor's Crown from his soul guidance device and summoned his Blue Silver Emperor Tree. He used his spirit power to place the crown on the Blue Silver Emperor Tree in front of him. The next moment, the Blue Silver Emperor Tree, like a king being crowned by a pope, was enveloped in golden light!
At that moment, a special force suddenly surged from Su Yun's chest and uncontrollably flew towards the Blue Silver Emperor Tree.
"That is..." Before Su Yun could react, that special force merged with the Blue Silver Emperor's Crown, becoming one.
Hum.
The fluctuation of spirit power once again rippled through the Sunset Forest like ripples, enveloped in a pure life essence.
For a moment, countless plants in the Sunset Forest, upon receiving the aura emitted by Su Yun's newly evolved Blue Silver Emperor Tree, revitalized even those that had begun to wilt, shining anew!
Even Senior Dugu, who was meditating outside, felt that power and opened his eyes wide in shock.
"Such a powerful life force!" He turned to look towards Su Yun's location, taking a sharp breath, "Could this be another spectacle caused by Su Yun?"
Although puzzled, Senior Dugu still adhered to Su Yun's command and did not approach the inner area.
As Dugu Bo sensed the powerful energy spreading into the outside world, he frowned slightly, "This power is too strong; it's likely to attract the attention of many in the imperial city."
Dugu Bo intended to intercept the energy dispersal, but the speed of its escape was too fast for him to completely contain it.
"Let it be. Before Su Yun comes out, we must prevent outsiders from entering," Dugu Bo sighed slightly, then quickly moved to the outskirts of the Sunset Forest to start setting up his poison array.
At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Su Yun was intently focusing on his 'martial soul' which seemed to have become somewhat 'peculiar' in his eyes, especially with the information he received about it in his mind.
Goddess of Time - Blue Silver Divine Tree!
Yes!
Not only had his Blue Silver Emperor Tree evolved into a divine tree, but it also acquired a prefix!
Goddess of Time!
It was important to note that Su Yun had recently accepted the inheritance of the God of Time. Now, his martial soul seemed to have formed a connection with the God of Time! Before Su Yun stood a woman in white, looking almost identical to Ah Yin, even more impressive in stature.
However, her demeanor was much more detached than Ah Yin's, her eyes filled with an indifferent coldness that seemed to dismiss everything.
She appeared like an observer standing outside of the rules, and there seemed to be a hint of instinctive consciousness about her.
Hum.
Before Su Yun could react, the Goddess of Time - Blue Silver Divine Tree raised her hand and lightly touched him. The next second, a red spirit ring emerged at Su Yun's feet!
"Is this... the sixth spirit ring?!" Su Yun was astounded by the sight of the hundred-thousand-year spirit ring beneath him. He had no idea which kind of spirit ring he should hunt next, but his evolved martial soul had already prepared one for him!
"Sixth spirit ability, Blue Silver Spring and Autumn Barrier!"
After quickly understanding his new sixth spirit ability, Su Yun realized how terrifying it was.
He could now create a domain around himself and freely control the flow of time within it! The range of this ability and the extent of time flow variation would depend on Su Yun's spiritual power and soul power.
"Hisss—" Having realized the effects of this sixth spirit ability, Su Yun could only describe it as utterly terrifying. Originally, he could only use his ability, The World, once a day for just a brief pause in time.
Now, he could directly control the flow of time, and while not an outright pause, the capability still spoke volumes about the terrifying level of this spirit ability!
"I'll have to share this good news with Sister Yin once she awakens," thought Su Yun, feeling immensely pleased as he watched the Blue Silver Emperor continuing to evolve and grow. He began meditating on the spot, patiently waiting while also studying his new sixth spirit ability.
Meanwhile, at the outskirts of Sunset Forest.
As Dugu Bo was maintaining his poison array, he sensed an extremely powerful aura approaching from afar in the sky.
The newcomers were none other than Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Sword Bone Douluo. Alongside them were Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi's daughter, Ning Rongrong.
