Chapter 556 The Fifth Soul Ring After 100,000 Years!
No matter how many soul beasts there are on the Douluo Continent, 100,000-year-old soul beasts, as the pinnacle of soul beast power, are extremely rare.

If a Soul Master has an extra 100,000-year Soul Ring, his strength will undoubtedly be much higher than that of other Soul Masters of the same level.

The difference between a Soul King with a fifth soul ring of a thousand years and one with a fifth soul ring of ten thousand years is so great that they can hardly be considered Soul Masters of the same type. What about one hundred thousand years?
As Chen Ping channeled the power of the golden orb into his body, the golden light surrounding him instantly intensified, expanding to encompass the entire area of ​​his domain.

Within that golden mist, faint golden threads could be seen beginning to wrap around Chen Ping's body, constantly pressing against him.

Upon seeing this scene, both Elder Xuan and Elder Mu's gazes sharpened.

The golden threads that appeared when absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring, according to Bai Chenxiang who remained in Douluo Continent, were a symbol of the length of time the soul ring had been absorbed.

The more numerous and earlier the appearances, the higher the age of the divinely bestowed soul rings that the soul master can absorb.

Like the later Phoenix God Ma Hongjun, when he absorbed the sixth spirit ring and persevered to the end with all his might, only a small number of golden threads appeared. In the end, he obtained a spirit ring equivalent to that of a 40,000-year-old spirit beast.

Chen Ping's journey began here, so where will his end be?

Although Chen Ping was only absorbing soul rings at this moment, Elder Xuan and Elder Mu were well aware that Chen Ping was about to face a test that was even more severe than the legendary divine trial.

Chen Ping's expression was calm. When those golden threads appeared, his entire skeleton emitted a faint halo.

After his martial soul devoured the soul bone, it nourished his own bones, making Chen Ping's body strong without any weaknesses.

His entire skeleton was tempered as a soul bone, making his physical strength even stronger than that of Poison Undying when he was at level 50 and used himself as his martial soul.

Chen Ping did this for a reason. By unleashing his full power right from the start, he didn't need to gradually release it under the pressure of the divinely bestowed soul ring. That would have caused him to consume more soul power and suffer more pain in the early stages of absorption.

If you unleash all your abilities right from the start, the starting point for the power infused by the divine soul ring will be even higher.

Being tested directly from a higher angle will inevitably shorten the time it takes for Chen Ping to absorb the soul ring, and the time he has to endure pain will naturally decrease as well.

Sure enough, once he unleashed the power contained within all the bones in his body, the golden mist surrounding him completely changed.

Previously, only one-tenth of the golden light turned into threads, but this time, the mist disappeared, and all the golden light turned into circles of golden threads, as if they were being woven, constantly weaving around Chen Ping's body.

As the golden threads weaved through the air, subtle fluctuations appeared on Chen Ping's face, and his soul power was released without reservation.

At this moment, Chen Ping's spiritual power was more concentrated than ever before in his spiritual sea, which would make him even more resilient.

Deep within his brow, the self-repairing ability of the Golden Carving Knife of Life was activated. Even under the immense pressure brought by the divinely bestowed soul ring, it was able to repair itself in time, even as Chen Ping's body began to show signs of damage.

With their spirit rings, domains, complete skeletal structure, and the gold of life—powers that ordinary spirit masters lack or are far inferior to Chen Ping's—working together, they continuously resisted the pressure from the divinely bestowed spirit rings.

Time passed second by second, and half an hour had gone by in the blink of an eye. Chen Ping's forehead was covered with a fine layer of sweat, and to everyone's surprise, these sweat beads were also golden. At this moment, the golden energy around Chen Ping's body changed form again, and strands of golden energy began to condense together, turning into rings of golden light.

There were nine halos in total. They first expanded around Chen Ping's body, and then contracted again, crashing heavily into Chen Ping, repeating the cycle.

Each time the golden halo struck Chen Ping's body, it caused him to tremble and sweat to bead on his forehead.

Just by looking at the blood trickling from Chen Ping's skin and his convulsing body, one can tell just how immense the pressure Chen Ping is under.

A 100,000-year soul ring is something only a Soul Douluo-level expert can withstand when advancing to the Title Douluo level, while Chen Ping is currently only advancing from Soul Sect to Soul King.

However, as the captain of the Shrek Academy team in this generation, and the key figure who led the team to defeat the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's regular team when he was at the second ring, winning the championship of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, how could he be an ordinary person?
His physical body, honed through years of persistent training, was enhanced by the powerful blood energy stimulated by medicinal and dietary supplements, along with the domain that he had just violently seized from the golden-haired lion mastiff—a domain typically belonging to a titled Douluo—and the primal blessing brought by the Snow Empress's soul spirit.

Perhaps Chen Ping hasn't absorbed even a single immortal herb yet, but the combined medicinal power he has obtained is probably no less than that of one or two immortal herbs!

With all these factors at play, he has indeed qualified to attempt to obtain a 100,000-year soul ring. The rest depends on his determination and perseverance.

How much determination and perseverance did Chen Ping possess? Even he himself didn't know.

While enduring the test of the divinely bestowed soul ring, his mind remained perfectly clear.

There was only one thought, and that thought was his greatest determination and his most steadfast perseverance.

Absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring, however difficult, will not be more difficult than when he was six years old and so weak that he could be manipulated by any strong person, nor will it be more difficult than the pain of losing everything he cherishes one day in the future.

Now he has a respected teacher, friends and brothers to share his troubles with, his second uncle Wang Yan who is like a true blood relative, and two partners with whom he can confide his innermost feelings and spend his life.

To protect everything he cherished, no matter how bitter it was to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring, he had to grit his teeth and swallow it all.

pain?
Even if it hurts, it's not much different from the feeling he had back then when he spent money on cheap medicinal baths to improve his physical strength by a little bit. He just had to tough it out!

"Seriously, this is insane."

From the very beginning, Elder Xuan had already considered forcibly interrupting Chen Ping's absorption process several times.

In his view, Chen Ping's actions at this moment were no different from courting death!

Blood was seeping from his entire body. According to the ancient records of Shrek Academy, this was a sign that the Soul Master was about to be torn apart by the immense power of the Soul Ring!
According to ancient records, whenever a Soul Master absorbs a Soul Ring that exceeds its lifespan and exhibits this phenomenon, it is almost always a matter of life and death.

One wrong move and you'll be blown to pieces like a bomb, turning into a super-duper-huge firework!

That scene was even more bizarre than 70% of the things that evil spirit masters do!
