After the explosion, Tang Hao let out a wail.
"No—!"
He stared at the scene before him in disbelief.
His knees buckled.
His arms lifted weakly as he collapsed to the ground, kneeling as fragments of rock fell like snow from the cave ceiling.
A dark hole gaped in the rock wall.
The brocade box was gone.
At the center lay a mound of yellow-orange substance.
The Blue Silver Emperor no longer swayed.
Tang Hao crawled forward, hands trembling, scooping up the yellow mass.
"Ah Yin…"
His voice cracked.
Tears streamed down his face as he covered it with his hands.
"I'm sorry… I'm so sorry…"
The spicy curry smeared on his hands seeped into his eyes, making them burn violently. Tears flowed uncontrollably.
Droplets fell onto the fake "Blue Silver Emperor," washing away a leaf.
Where were the golden patterns?
Tang Hao stared, bloodshot eyes wide, ignoring the burning pain.
He collapsed completely.
Not just the bone…
The grass is gone too!
"AAAAH—!"
With a furious roar, his soul power erupted, the Killing God Domain unleashed.
Terrifying waves of power slammed into the surrounding rock walls.
BOOM! CRASH!
The cave collapsed.
Water surged backward.
Even the waterfall seemed on the verge of stopping.
Tang Hao's eyes were blood-red, like a maddened beast ready to devour its prey.
"Ah Yin! WHO DID THIS?!"
"I, Tang Hao, will kill you!"
His words were ferocious—
yet his constantly blinking, tear-filled eyes made the scene almost comical.
He searched frantically.
But it was pointless.
At the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, Ye Qiu seemed to hear Tang Hao's distant roar.
Imagining Tang Hao's uncontrollable tears made Ye Qiu chuckle.
After all—
that curry had been carefully prepared.
He glanced once toward Holy Soul Village, a cold smile curling at his lips.
Then he turned and plunged into the dense forest.
From here, he would head north—
Toward Heaven Dou City.
The Star Dou Great Forest stretched across two empires.
Ancient trees blocked out the sky, vegetation dense and endless.
And the deeper one went—
The stronger the soul beasts became.
It could be said that as long as one was strong enough—and lucky enough—any soul beast could be found in the Star Dou Great Forest, including hundred-thousand-year soul beasts!
The dim environment was extremely oppressive. Ye Qiu moved swiftly, leaping between trees and dashing through the forest without pause.
"Right… it's time to check my harvest."
Ye Qiu landed on a massive tree branch and released the Blue Silver Emperor from the flowerpot.
As if it had returned home, the Blue Silver Emperor brimmed with vitality. Its body swayed continuously, radiating joy. Ye Qiu couldn't help but reach out and gently pat it a few times.
The Blue Silver Emperor did not resist. Instead, two of its leaves wrapped lightly around Ye Qiu's fingers—a strangely intimate gesture.
Could it be… that the Sharingan works on the Blue Silver Emperor as well?
Ye Qiu immediately formed a hypothesis.
If that's true, then my eyes are seriously problematic…
As long as it's the opposite sex, it works? I've completely lost the ability to distinguish between humans and beasts!
What? Xiao Wu is a soul beast too? That's different—she already looks human!
Ye Qiu quickly withdrew his hand and took out the brocade box.
The moment it opened, a blue-golden light burst forth.
Inside lay the right leg bone of the Blue Silver Emperor.
It was crystal-clear, blue like the ocean, with countless golden specks shimmering inside—like stars suspended in the night sky.
The Blue Silver Emperor sensed the aura of the same origin and continuously stretched toward it. Unfortunately, its short leaves couldn't quite reach.
Ye Qiu stared at the soul bone, hesitated briefly, and then made his decision.
What he lacked right now was strength.
A hundred-thousand-year soul bone was already considered top-tier—even among the strongest Soul Masters.
The kaleidoscope pattern spun in his eyes.
With the Blue Silver Emperor beside him, Ye Qiu returned to the Divine Might Space.
He intended to absorb the right leg bone.
Sitting cross-legged, Ye Qiu placed the soul bone against his calf and began absorbing it using the Mysterious Heaven Technique.
Blue and gold light intertwined as his soul power surged—
Level 17…
Level 18…
Level 19…
Finally, it stabilized at Level 20.
Once he obtained his next soul ring, his soul power would definitely skyrocket again.
In just half a month, he had broken through from Level 10 to a Great Soul Master.
As time passed, night fell over the Star Dou Great Forest. Only a few faintly glowing plants provided illumination.
"Ah—! Help me!"
A piercing scream shattered the darkness.
"Damn it! Martial Soul Possession!"
"Second Soul Skill—Dash!"
"Fourth Soul Skill—Soul-Hooking Ghost Claw!"
Several miles away, a group of masked men in black stood frozen in terror as one of their companions was drained dry by blood vines.
"Brother… let's rest for a while. It's too dangerous at night," someone suggested cautiously.
The leader—a crippled leopard-like Soul Master—snorted and withdrew the four spirit rings beneath his feet: white, yellow, yellow, purple.
"The forest at night is dangerous," he said hoarsely.
"It's all that damned woman's fault—still running so fast even after being injured."
His voice sounded as though it had been crushed and twisted.
"We'll camp here," he continued coldly.
"But listen carefully—if she escapes…"
"You're all dead. Understand?"
A chill ran through the group.
"Yes! Yes, brother!" they replied hastily.
"Don't worry, we'll catch her!"
"Yeah! When we do, big brother can—"
Before he could finish, the man clutched his neck, eyes bulging in disbelief.
"Big… brother… what are you—"
The leopard licked the blood from his dagger and swept his gaze over them.
"Remember your place," he said venomously.
"We are nothing but dogs. And the woman belonging to our master is not something we're allowed to covet."
"Yes… yes…"
Everyone nodded frantically.
Not far away, a young girl lay sprawled on the ground.
The blood on her body had already dried, yet the fire in her heart refused to extinguish.
She bit her lip, forcing herself not to cry out, crawling inch by inch across the ground.
Her fingers bled.
Thorns tore at her skin.
Still, she remained silent.
Her dark eyes burned with determination.
She didn't want to die.
She only wanted to live—
to live well.
Inside the Divine Might Space, the blue-gold glow surrounding Ye Qiu faded completely.
The Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone had vanished.
Ye Qiu sensed his soul power and smiled.
"Tomorrow… I can hunt my second soul ring."
The hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone possessed two abilities:
The first—Flight, allowing free aerial movement.
The second—
'Wildfire cannot burn it all; the spring breeze brings it back to life.'
It embodied the essence of Blue Silver Grass, granting terrifying regenerative and healing abilities—even capable of regrowing severed limbs.
Ye Qiu took out a small knife and cut his arm.
Blood flowed.
Moments later, the wound scabbed over and healed completely.
"…Amazing."
He had carefully considered absorbing this soul bone.
Whenever he used his Kaleidoscope, his vision would blur and sting.
A clear sign of overuse—perhaps even eventual blindness, like Itachi.
Now, with this soul bone, his endurance would greatly improve.
Its regeneration should also help repair damage to his eyes.
Ye Qiu believed the true solution lay within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
The legendary herb Looking Through Autumn Water Dew might allow his kaleidoscope to bloom eternally.
