Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor.

Chapter 79 Sacrifice, Fourth Soul Ring, Soul Power Ascension

Normally, no Soul Master could hunt down the Thunder Hell Vine, as its nature is far too fierce.

For the Thunderous Hell Vine, whose every cultivation is a defiance of the heavens, life and death are no longer important; they only want to conquer the thunder or perish in it.

They won't listen to anyone's advice or threats, except for Brigitte.

Or rather, in the Star Dou Great Forest, no soul beast would refuse Bi Ji's kindness, because her prestige in the Star Dou Great Forest was simply too high, even higher than that of Di Tian in some respects.

Among the ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts that have gained intelligence, there might be some who don't know Di Tian, ​​but very few who don't know Bi Ji.

This is all the prestige that has been accumulated bit by bit over tens of thousands of years of healing the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest. Even this Thunderous Hell Vine has received help from Bi Ji and the Emerald Swan Clan.

Without Bi Ji, it might have died after cultivating for twenty or thirty thousand years.

Without the subsequent assistance of the Emerald Swan Clan, it would not have been able to reach the 60,000-year cultivation level that only a very few members of the Thunderous Hell Vine Clan could achieve.

Brigitte was right; it had been over 50,000 years, but it had also reached its limit.

"The one who defies fate, Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng has already agreed to the sacrifice, but the sacrifice of a ten-thousand-year soul beast is different from the sacrifice of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. The sacrifice of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast can seal its own origin so that the soul master can slowly absorb it, but a ten-thousand-year soul beast cannot seal its own origin. Can you withstand its soul ring?" Bi Ji turned to look at Ye Qing.

"My name is Ye Qing. You can just call me by my name. Calling me the one who defies fate feels a bit strange." Ye Qing waved his hand. "As for my physical endurance, you can rest assured. As long as its lifespan doesn't exceed 70,000 years, I can withstand it."

"Alright, then follow me, Ye Qing." Bi Ji nodded gently and walked towards the depths of the valley.

Ye Qing followed behind Bi Ji and stepped into the valley. Before long, they saw a plant growing on top of a stone pillar.

Its entire body is blue-purple, and its appearance is not much different from ordinary vines, but it is as thick as Ye Qing's arm. On the vines and leaves, there are a lot of irregular electric current patterns. When the vines sway, they will also bring up tiny electric arcs in the air.

Ye Qing looked at its vines, which were over ten meters long, and nodded slightly.

This imposing aura truly lives up to its name, the Thunderous Hell Vine.

With only 60,000 years of cultivation, it was more threatening than most of the soul beasts he had seen in the Star Dou Great Forest. Ye Qing had once witnessed a powerful soul beast with a cultivation of around 90,000 years, but its aura was far inferior to that of the Thunderous Hell Vine before him.

"You may begin. I will protect you," Brigitte said.

"Wait!" Ye Qing called out, stopping them. "Give me a few minutes!"

Ye Qing is currently in a demonic possession state, and lightning attributes are not present in this state. To maximize the power of the Thunderous Hell Vine, he needs to transform into a divine descent state.

Under Bi Ji's watchful gaze, Ye Qing sat cross-legged on the ground, activating his ultimate talent to begin the transformation. His martial soul gradually changed from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to the Holy Radiant Heavenly God Tiger.

Sensing the extreme transformation of the two powers within Ye Qing, Bi Ji couldn't help but marvel inwardly at how one person could possess two completely opposing powers without any conflict.

He truly is a person who defies fate; he is indeed blessed with extraordinary talent.

Five minutes later, Ye Qing had fully transformed into his light form and nodded to Bi Ji, saying, "It's ready. You can start it now."

Biji looked at the Thunderous Hell Vine and showered her hands with rich life force, enveloping Ye Qing and the Thunderous Hell Vine.

"Just follow my guidance."

This was clearly directed at Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng. Soul beasts with less than 100,000 years of cultivation need to meet many conditions to voluntarily sacrifice themselves; not just any soul beast is qualified to do so.

The vines of the Thunderous Hell Vine swayed slightly, and a large amount of electricity suddenly burst out from its body, all of which surged towards Ye Qing under its influence. At the same time, blue and white flames also ignited on its body.

The sacrifice is initiated!

A dazzling blue-purple beam of light shot into the sky, dispelling the thick clouds and allowing the long-awaited sunlight to shine into the valley.

Within the pillar of light, the body of the Thunderous Hell Vine gradually became ethereal, and finally disappeared completely under the burning flames, leaving only a vine behind. It flew to Ye Qing's back and stuck to his spine.

hum...

A massive black spirit ring slowly condensed above Ye Qing's head, with a diameter of three meters. The surface of the spirit ring was also engraved with faint blue and white electric current patterns.

As the sacrifice proceeded, the soul ring descended above Ye Qing's head, slowly contracting until it hovered above his chest, releasing a large amount of soul power that surged into his body.

Thanks to the opening of his hidden meridians, Ye Qing's physical strength was several times stronger than that of a normal soul master. Although the soul ring of the Thunderous Hell Vine caused him to throb with pain all over his body and the enormous soul power almost ruptured his meridians, he ultimately managed to withstand it.

It was teetering on the brink of collapse, but not quite.

With such immense soul power, even if Ye Qing possessed the ultimate attribute, it would be enough to cause his soul power level to skyrocket.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

What delighted Ye Qing the most was the electric current flowing through his meridians. This was the unique thunderous power of the Thunderous Hell Vine. Although this thunderous power caused Ye Qing great pain, as if every inch of his meridians was being pierced by countless steel needles, it was constantly strengthening his meridians.

What pleased him even more was that the hidden meridians in his legs, which had only opened one-fifth of their length, were opening at an extremely rapid pace.

The electric current, like a sharp cleaver, shattered all the blockages in Ye Qing's hidden meridians and expelled them from his body.

This was truly an unexpected delight.

After sensing the changes within his body, Ye Qing endured the excruciating pain that penetrated his very soul. Such opportunities to rapidly open hidden meridians were rare. If he were to do it himself, it would probably take him nearly two years to open the remaining 90% of the hidden meridians (only one leg had opened one-fifth, while the other leg remained completely untouched).

Each day felt like an eternity.

This is how Ye Qing feels right now.

But the absorption of spirit rings always comes to an end. As the pain gradually subsided, this sacrifice was also coming to a close.

The massive black spirit ring completely disappeared into Ye Qing's body, and his aura surged rapidly at that moment.

Forty-one...

Forty-two...

It didn't stop until level 45!

The Thunderous Hell Vine's spirit ring not only broke through his bottleneck in becoming a Soul Master, but also helped him advance four levels, instantly completing half of his journey to the Soul Master stage!

The hidden meridians in his legs were also completely opened, saving him two years!
