Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 136 Tears

As Ah Yin finished speaking, an immense aura suddenly rose up, but it did not originate from the Blue Silver King in front of Su Cheng; rather, it came from the entire forest.

A faint blue light quietly emerged from each Blue Silver Grass, and tiny blue specks of light gathered together, quickly forming a blue ocean.

The next moment, Su Cheng immediately felt that he had become the center of this ocean.

My body is absorbing the energy from this blue sea with great thirst.

The Nirvana Sutra was rapidly activated, the Longevity Sword appeared in his hand, and the Five Elements Domain spread out on its own.

Under the influence of the cultivation technique, although his Soul Master level was stuck at level 50 due to the lack of Soul Rings, his Soul Power was increasing rapidly, and his cultivation efficiency far exceeded that of the past.

This energy, originating from the Blue Silver Grass, is not an ultimate attribute, but in Su Cheng's view, its characteristics are no weaker than so-called ultimate attributes.

Blue Silver Grass, a weed that is found everywhere at the bottom of the food chain in the Soul Beast world, actually possesses extremely tenacious vitality.

They are not powerful, yet they can thrive in all sorts of extreme and harsh environments.

It seems that the "immortality" that Ah Yin mentioned, which evolved to the extreme of the Blue Silver Domain, is essentially an extension of the Blue Silver Grass's characteristics.

Countless blue silver grasses continuously and selflessly supplied Su Cheng with specks of starlight energy.

Although the blue ocean formed by these points of light is boundless, the number of plants in this forest is so vast and their existence so long that the combined energy is probably not even a drop in the ocean.

Su Cheng sat cross-legged in this extremely comfortable environment, but he did not immerse himself in it.

Aside from keeping a sliver of energy to be wary of any unexpected events, his attention was mainly focused on the sea of ​​energy before him.

At this moment, the True Sight Eye on his forehead emitted a dazzling dark golden light.

This time, the vertical line no longer just opened a thin slit, but projected a screen of light, like a vertical eye phantom, taking in all the changes within its sight.

The spiritual energy in his mind was rapidly depleting, and it would be completely used up in just a few breaths.

But what is consumed quickly is replenished even faster. The Blue Ocean endlessly replenishes all his consumption, whether it is physical, mental, or soul energy, all of which are nourished and filled by the surging blue light.

These energies, though powerful, are not violent; on the contrary, they are extremely gentle.

There was no sense of shock or pressure, just like when he absorbed Ah Yin's 100,000-year-old soul bone, it nourished him silently.

Gradually, his skin turned completely into a crystalline blue, and countless blue silver grasses grew and coiled around him.

Not only him, but Ah Yin, who was standing next to him, also had countless blue light points flowing into her, strengthening her body and silently enhancing her essence.

The scale of these incoming energies even far exceeds that of Su Cheng.

Unfortunately, Ah Yin's strength was limited and her foundation weak at this time, so she could only absorb a portion of the energy, while most of it was integrated into Su Cheng's Five Elements Domain.

Her temporary spiritual body, hastily created by Su Cheng, became increasingly natural, real, and complete in the process. Her meridians were connected, her acupoints were perfected, and her muscle fibers were gradually formed, as if she were about to return to her former peak.

However, the situation is different from that time.

At this moment, she was no longer in the state of a soul beast that had not yet fully transformed into human form.

Of course, it doesn't mean that a fully formed soul beast will become a real human.

If I had to describe it, it would probably be more like a plant spirit created by heaven and earth, not a human being of flesh and blood, but not a soul beast either.

From then on, there was no longer the so-called Blue Silver Emperor; this was her true form.

Ah Yin benefited greatly from this process.

Su Cheng, however, encountered some obstacles.

Although his physical foundation was slowly strengthening, and four spirit rings—yellow, purple, purple, and black—emerged one after another, the fifth spirit ring he had been silently waiting for could not be formed.

On the enormous, aged face of the Blue Silver King, a vivid and obvious look of astonishment and confusion appeared as he looked at Ah Yin standing beside Su Cheng.

"Your Majesty, he doesn't have the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor?"

Upon hearing the sound, A-Yin opened her eyes and looked at the boy sitting on the ground, enveloped in a blue ocean.

Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she slowly shook her head.

Just as she had predicted, Su Cheng had no chance of using the Blue Silver Emperor clan's awakening ceremony to add a fifth soul ring to himself.

Even if his soul power, physical fitness, and mental strength all meet the requirements, it is still impossible for him to do so.

The foundation of bloodline awakening is the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.

Based on this, the Blue Silver King guides the bloodline within the other person's body, and then uses the power of the entire Blue Silver Grass Forest to help him awaken and advance.

If there is no bloodline, the water has no source, so how can the Blue Silver King guide it?

"Then..." Blue Silver King hesitated.

Continuing like this is tantamount to doing useless work.

"Let's wait a little longer," Ah Yin said softly.

The energy of the Blue Silver Grass is gentle and mild, and will not cause any harm to Su Cheng's body. Even if he absorbs it as a reserve of soul power for future advancement, it will be beneficial.

Moreover, for some reason, she always had a strange confidence in Su Cheng, feeling that since he had said it, he could definitely do it.

Time flowed slowly, and the ocean formed by countless points of light silently rose and fell around Su Cheng.

He wasn't in a hurry at the moment.

At this moment, Su Cheng, who was in the true field of vision, silently observed everything in front of him and the essence of his first few soul rings.

At this moment, with inexhaustible mental energy that is constantly replenished, it is the perfect opportunity to make good use of the Eye of True Sight.

In his view, whether or not this attempt succeeds is not important.

Most importantly, this opportunity will allow us to glimpse the secrets of soul ring formation.

At this moment, within Su Cheng's true vision, countless points of light emanating from the Blue Silver Grass surrounded him, yet they could not enter and could not condense into a shape, ultimately transforming into energy that flowed into his domain and body.

"What's the difference...?"

Su Cheng closed his eyes, his mind racing with thoughts and deductions.

What are spirit rings? And what are spirit skills?

Oh, right, Xiao Wu.

If I remember correctly, Xiao Wu, the 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit who cultivated and transformed into human form, possessed a very special ability—to retrieve her own soul ring.

Every ten levels, you can automatically generate a perfect ultimate soul ring that matches your own level.

In the original timeline, after Tang San received the energy guidance of the Blue Silver King, he also condensed his fifth spirit ring, which was adapted to his own limit.

Su Cheng recalled the first few spirit rings he had just observed.

Within each spirit ring is a faint phantom image, corresponding to the spirit beast killed in the past.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed lines that he couldn't understand, but which were extremely condensed and singular in nature.

"……I see."

Su Cheng suddenly opened his eyes.

"It's about bloodline concentration. The bloodline concentration of human martial souls is insufficient, far inferior to that of humans who have transformed from soul beasts. And to generate a soul ring on its own, a sufficiently strong bloodline concentration is required as a catalyst."

"Tang San was able to succeed because his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline was activated by the Blue Silver King's instinctive abilities."

"As for my bloodline, the Blue Silver King is clearly unable to guide and condense it."

Ah Yin knew that the awakening of the Blue Silver Emperor was related to bloodline, but she did not understand the underlying principles.

Although he had spoken to Su Cheng about it, he clearly couldn't explain the reason clearly.

Su Cheng is different from her.

With the help of his true vision, he was able to see the inner essence of the spirit rings, and in a flash of inspiration, he found the root of the problem.

Those lines represent the power of the attributes and laws associated with bloodlines.

The so-called soul skills are merely the external manifestation of the combination of attribute laws and martial soul.

Therefore, there are two requirements for forming a spirit ring: the first is the power of the laws contained in the bloodline after killing a spirit beast, and the second is sufficient energy.

"I should have thought of that a long time ago." A smile appeared on Su Cheng's lips.

He had already conducted thorough and in-depth research on the commonalities between soul beasts and martial souls, and the level bottlenecks broken by the condensation of soul rings, during the second simulation.

To generate your own soul ring, three conditions are required: laws, guidance, and energy!

What is the law?

In Douluo Continent, the bloodline of a Soul Master is the law, the Martial Soul is the law, the core of the Soul Ring is naturally the law, and the Soul Skill attached to the Soul Ring is the manifestation of the combination of the law and the Soul Power.

As for how to draw out the energy of the laws within the bloodline?

Fortunately, Su Cheng had an unconventional solution.

The Longevity Sword appeared in his hand, and the Nirvana Sutra was quickly activated.

Then, a bottle of potion appeared in his hand, the liquid inside shimmering with a faint red glow under the surrounding blue light.

Without hesitation, Su Cheng unscrewed the bottle cap and poured a few drops into his mouth.

Standing to the side, Ah Yin was surprised to find that Su Cheng's aura had changed, becoming unusually explosive and ethereal, with faint blood energy rising from his body.

At the same time, the enormous phantoms of the Longevity Sword and the Innate Array Diagram, two martial souls, appeared beside him.

Su Cheng ignored his second martial soul.

Instead, he focused all his energy on circulating the Nirvana Sutra, and then continuously stimulated the bloodline foundation of the Longevity Sword Martial Soul with his own level 50 soul power fluctuations.

Gradually, an ethereal halo seemed to appear around him.

next moment.

The blue dots that had gathered around seemed to have finally found their target and quickly merged into the halo.

The blue halo gradually deepened in color, eventually transforming into a jet-black spirit ring that encircled the other four spirit rings.

The moment it appeared, it seemed to form a strange harmony with the previous four spirit rings.

The five soul rings began to pulsate rhythmically.

Then, the age of the first four soul rings also began to increase simultaneously.

The first yellow spirit ring quickly turned purple, and then the color of the first three purple spirit rings gradually darkened and became more and more profound.

During this process, Su Cheng's black hair gradually turned dark blue, and his facial features became softer and more defined.

But soon, his appearance returned to its original state.

Now that his five elements are perfectly balanced, his control over himself has reached a new level.

While his physical foundation underwent a leap forward, his physical base also became more refined. The power of this small world alone was not enough to overwhelm his physical foundation or alter his physical characteristics.

Although her appearance remained unchanged, her demeanor was vastly different from before. She appeared more natural, seemingly indistinguishable from the rest of the world.

In the past, Su Cheng was more like a sharp blade hidden in its sheath; although its sharpness was concealed, its strength was still undeniable.

But now it looks as gentle and smooth as jade, free and harmonious.

Ah Yin's face was full of surprise; she couldn't understand how the other person had done it.

Although I subconsciously believed he could succeed, it was more like a blind expectation and trust, without any basis whatsoever.

Now that the imagined scenario has come true, the scene feels incredibly unreal.

"Is there really nothing you can't do...?"

She stared blankly at Su Cheng, her eyes flashing.

Over the past year or so, all the things the other had done and said, and the little things they had shared in their daily lives, began to resurface in their minds, causing them to become conflicted.

Su Cheng, however, had no time to pay attention to his surroundings.

With the appearance of the fifth spirit ring, the Five Elements were completely perfected, and the scene in the real field of vision began to undergo earth-shattering changes.

At this moment, his mind was gradually drawn to the scene before him, and he became increasingly immersed in it.

They even forgot to be alert to changes in their surroundings.

First, it was pitch black, or rather, pure white.

That is nothingness, where no matter exists.

Then, Yin and Yang rotated and the Five Elements evolved. Based on this, the world was born from nothingness, and then experienced a long period of stability and continuity...

Afterwards, the peaceful world began to suffer various calamities and gradually fell into ruin. The foundation of the five elements was gradually destroyed until everything returned to emptiness.

This process seemed extremely long, yet also extremely short; countless years were but a fleeting moment in his eyes.

This is the effect of True Sight.

With the amplification of the Five Elements reaching its first perfection, the effect of this external soul bone seems to have reached an unprecedented level, and one can even see a trace of the operation of the world's most core laws.

"..."

Su Cheng slowly opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.

"Form, existence, decay, emptiness... So that's how it is, so that's how it is..."

Even if the five elements cycle perfectly, they cannot escape eventual annihilation.

Nothing in this world is eternal.

Even if all five elements are in perfect balance, the ultimate fate will inevitably be one of great annihilation.

Even the world itself, which contains all five elements, will one day perish, let alone a human being?

At this moment, the Blue Silver King was filled with inexplicable horror.

The young man before it appeared full of vitality, his life force far exceeding its imagination.

However, at this moment, a sense of death emanated from within.

This sense of death is not the kind of deathly aura emanating from an ordinary mortal whose life is nearing its end, but rather the devastating meaning of the world heading towards annihilation and everything eventually decaying.

Under this implication, the boundless vitality contained in this incredibly ancient Blue Silver Grass Forest seemed to be nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

Ah Yin noticed a tear that rolled down Su Cheng's cheek.

"He cried?"

At this moment, Su Cheng also felt a slight chill on his face.

I reached out and touched it, and was somewhat surprised.

Did I cry?

He immediately chuckled to himself, "I'm afraid of dying..."

This tear, falling unconsciously, is actually a reflection of his inner instincts.

After hesitating for a moment, Ah Yin asked softly, "Su Cheng... what's wrong?"

"..." Su Cheng paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I'm scared."

Ah Yin stared at him blankly. "Are you afraid too?"

"Why not?" Su Cheng asked calmly.

"Everyone is born with anxieties and fears, but they are usually kept deep inside and not outwardly revealed."

"What...are you afraid of?" Ah Yin was a little confused and worried.

"I'm afraid of dying," Su Cheng said frankly.

"Die? You'll die?!"

No one could sense the vitality emanating from Su Cheng better than her.

That wasn't something like cultivation level, physique, or martial soul as it appears, but rather something similar to her past state when she was still the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor.

No, it's even at a higher level than she was back then.

"That's for later, don't worry about it."

A smile returned to Su Cheng's face as he looked at Ah Yin, "I should be able to outlive you by quite a bit."

This time, however, A-Yin was not angry at his remarks.

She could sense that Su Cheng was actually feeling somewhat heavy-hearted at that moment.

"What exactly just happened?"

"I saw some things, but even if I told you, you probably wouldn't understand," Su Cheng said casually.

The profound sense of annihilation he just experienced is difficult to comprehend without witnessing it firsthand.

After his recent enlightenment, his strength has reached a new level.

But when it comes to spiritual practice, there is an added layer of confusion.

Then he chuckled softly.

"However, this is just an unavoidable obstacle on the path of cultivation. Since you don't want to follow the crowd, it's inevitable to encounter such things."

Seeing Ah Yin staring blankly at him, Su Cheng assumed she was still thinking about the spirit rings they had mentioned before.

He reassured her, "Don't worry, I have some ideas about spirit ring condensation, and there will be a solution in the future."

Now that he understands the general principles, it's only a matter of time before he develops a universally applicable method.

However, this matter needs to be considered carefully, as the secrets involved are probably quite complex, and it would be extremely difficult to popularize it.

At least with his current strength, if he dared to get involved, he would be courting death.

After bidding farewell to the Blue Silver King, Su Cheng and Ah Yin left the Blue Silver Grass Forest together.

They both gained a great deal this time. Su Cheng, needless to say, also gained a perfect body.

In addition, the Blue Silver King, as the leader, also benefited greatly.

The fluctuations in Su Cheng's Five Elements Domain advancement had an extraordinary guiding effect on it. It could even be said that, under the current influence of the Five Elements Domain, all the Blue Silver Grass in the forest had undergone a qualitative leap.

Moreover, the brief aura emanating from Su Cheng during the process had greatly benefited it.

Although I was unable to witness that scene of great annihilation, it was still enough to benefit me.

Moreover, even if it were to actually see it, it might not be a good thing for it.

Su Cheng possesses at least all five elements. As a plant-type soul beast, the Blue Silver King's fundamental attribute is wood, which represents vitality. If it is infected by that extreme death intent, and cannot withstand it, its fate may be uncertain.

As Su Cheng walked down the street, he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Ah Yin.

Will new Blue Silver Emperors be born in the future?

"No, it's impossible."

Ah Yin shook her head.

This wasn't because of Su Cheng, but because of her.

In the previous awakening ceremony, she had already completed the reshaping of her body.

She is not the Blue Silver Emperor now, but her essence is superior to that of the Blue Silver Emperor.

Even so, this Blue Silver Grass Forest no longer has the ability to help another Blue Silver Emperor bloodline awaken.

Su Cheng nodded upon hearing this, not paying any attention to the matter, and then said, "You don't know yet, do you? Your 'son' Tang San also has a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast by his side."

Ah Yin was taken aback and turned to look at Su Cheng.

"See this bottle of potion?" Su Cheng took out a bottle and shook it gently. "This is a concealment potion that I spent nearly four months researching. It can conceal the aura of a transformed soul beast, preventing it from being detected by a Title Douluo."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that once we have this, the soul beast will accompany Tang San to participate in this year's Soul Master Competition, and then we will have the opportunity to kill it."

"..." Ah Yin stared blankly at the bottle of medicine, then gently lowered her head.

Her azure bangs hung down, casting a shadow that obscured her face, making it impossible to see her expression.

After a long silence, he asked softly in a slightly hoarse voice, "Why are you telling me this?"

Su Cheng casually put away the medicine bottle, turned back to look ahead, and said calmly, "Have I ever hidden anything from you?"
