"Spare my husband and child, and I will go with you."
At that moment, from the distant canyon, a woman appeared, wearing a long blue dress. She appeared to be around 27 or 28 years old, with deep blue hair and skin as pale as snow. Her features were exquisite, and her body exuded vitality, completely free from any hint of impurity. In her arms, she held a small infant.
Perhaps because she had just given birth and had traveled a long distance, her face appeared somewhat pale. However, the vitality she radiated remained incredibly strong. With each step she took, the ground, once flattened by the aftermath of the battle, gave rise to fresh blue-silver grass.
The people from the Spirit Hall gazed at the woman, their eyes briefly flashing with astonishment. She was as beautiful and graceful as Bibi Dong herself, and it was no wonder that Tang Hao had fallen for her, even knowing that she was a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
"100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor, I've been searching for you for so long," said Qian Xunji casually, his eyes burning with desire. A 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone were finally within his reach. He had no sympathy for her beauty. A soul beast was still a soul beast, and even if it transformed into a human, he would still harvest the soul ring and soul bone.
Qian Xunji was well aware that the appearance and form of a 100,000-year-old soul beast could be easily manipulated. Even the most grotesque soul beast could transform into a beautiful woman, so in his eyes, A Yin was just a piece of grass, no matter how stunning she looked.
"A Yin, A Yin, no!" Tang Hao's trembling voice rang out as tears flowed from his eyes. At that moment, he completely ignored Tang San, who was cradled in his arms.
A Yin gave a faint smile and opened Tang Hao's hand, writing three characters on his palm: "Hao, I've given our child a name."
After finishing, A Yin left a single tear behind and walked towards Qian Xunji and his group. The Blue Silver Domain spread open beneath her feet, and countless blue-golden vines sprouted, pushing back the Spirit Hall soul masters who had surrounded Tang Hao and Tang San.
The people from Spirit Hall paid no attention to A Yin's actions and merely watched as she approached the Blue Silver Emperor.
A Yin spoke coldly, "Blue grass, born without a place to return. The winds and rain linger for years, but the East Wind comes to my aid. Your Holiness, I am the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor. Do you know what my greatest characteristic is?"
At these words, the people from Spirit Hall paused, deep in thought. Even Spirit Hall didn't have knowledge of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor.
"My greatest characteristic is that I am immortal. No one can kill me. Even if you take me away, you will never get my soul ring or soul bone. But I will never leave my husband's side, and I will never let you touch me."
A Yin's voice was resolute as she spoke. In the next moment, an incredibly violent wave of soul power erupted from her body. Her 100,000-year-old soul ring appeared, and crimson light transformed into a small, impenetrable magnetic field. With a gesture, she became a towering ten-meter-high Blue Silver Grass, her body glowing blue and gold.
Qian Xunji's pupils shrank. He immediately shouted, "Sacrifice! This is bad! Everyone, stop her!"
Two Titled Douluo and dozens of soul masters activated their soul rings. Various soul techniques rained down on the crimson magnetic field, but none of them could shake it. A 100,000-year-old soul beast who had survived the Thunder Tribulation was comparable in strength to a 95th-level Titled Douluo. How could soul masters of the same level break her magnetic field, which was formed from her very life?
"A Yin, no, don't sacrifice yourself! Come with them, don't do this!" Tang Hao cried out in despair.
"A Yin—"
In the final moments, amidst Tang Hao's anguished scream, a crimson soul ring, brimming with life force, encircled his body. As this life energy and vast soul power nourished him, Tang Hao's severe injuries healed completely, and his cultivation reached level 92. His left hand, which wasn't holding the child, now bore a glowing blue-gold right leg bone. Around the infant, a blue-gold Blue Silver Grass coiled, entering the baby's swaddling.
When a 100,000-year-old soul beast dies, it always releases a 100,000-year-old soul bone. The type of soul bone depends on the missing soul bone of the person who receives it. During their adventures, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao had gathered four soul bones, excluding the two legacy bones from the Haotian Sect. Thus, the right leg bone was a result of A Yin's sacrifice, randomly drawn from her six soul bones.
As for how the four soul bones came to Tang Hao, aside from the Haotian Sect's legacy bones, only Tang Hao and Tang Xiao knew the truth.
"Spirit Hall!"
Tang Hao raised his head, his eyes turning crimson. After securing the soul bones, a massive wave of killing intent erupted from his body. The terrifying bloodthirst was embodied by a giant crimson half-body, and with just a glance, the soul masters from Spirit Hall instinctively shuddered in fear.
"Take down Tang Hao while he hasn't fully adapted to the 100,000-year soul ring!" Qian Xunji's lips curled up. With the Blue Silver Emperor gone, he had been considering how to destroy Tang Hao and the new generation of Haotian Douluo—Tang Hao, the youngest Titled Douluo in the entire continent. To his surprise, Tang Hao had exploded in killing intent towards them. This gave him the perfect justification he had been seeking.
"Spirit Hall, ah—!"
Tang Hao roared, his gaze fixed on Qian Xunji. His first and second soul rings exploded, and he charged towards Qian Xunji, any Spirit Hall soul master who tried to block his path falling as if struck by a hammer. The ferocity of his attack made Qian Xunji furrow his brow in slight concern.
As Tang Hao advanced, two Guardian Douluo from the Pope's Palace sprang into action—the Jade Flute Douluo and the Diamond Douluo. One went on offense, the other on defense.
Meanwhile, Qian Xunji remained calm at the back, maintaining the dignity of the Pope. According to the teachings of the Qian family's knightly code, a duel must be one-on-one. He could not engage Tang Hao alongside the two Guardian Douluo.
"Ninth Soul Skill, Golden Body!"
The Diamond Douluo's ninth soul ring glowed. A brilliant golden light erupted from his body, and he transformed into a small sun. His figure became solid gold, as though he had been drenched in molten metal.
At this moment, using his ninth soul skill, the Diamond Douluo became the strongest shield in Qian Xunji's arsenal.
"Get lost!"
Tang Hao bellowed, disregarding the Diamond Douluo entirely. His third and fourth soul rings exploded, and all the energy surged into the Haotian Hammer. The enormous Haotian Hammer smashed directly into the Diamond Douluo's chest.
"Haotian's Nine Absolutes, Convergence Strike!"
With a deafening crash, the Diamond Douluo's eyes were bloodshot, and his body was sent flying by Tang Hao's strike. He smashed through a nearby mountain, causing it to collapse and explode, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he was heavily injured.
"Ninth Soul Skill, Soul Binding Flute."
The Jade Flute Douluo's ninth soul ring lit up, and she closed her eyes to play the flute. The beautiful sound of the flute filled the air. This ninth soul skill, the Soul Binding Flute, was known as the world's strongest control soul technique. It was said to have the ability to hypnotize souls, whether human, soul beast, or even natural elements like waves and hurricanes. Once under its influence, the target was as vulnerable as fish on a chopping board.
