The barren mountain transformed into a forest, and the astonishing change in the landscape left both Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan stunned. Dugu Bo, surprised, exclaimed:

"Xiao Li, I remember your second soul skill being a healing technique—how is it that it has such an effect now?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Li turned to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan and explained:

"That's correct. It is still a healing soul skill, but the target of the healing has changed. Now, it's the vast expanse of Blue Silver Grass. After many evolutions, my Blue Silver Domain now allows me to command the wild Blue Silver Grass and urge it to grow rapidly to fight against enemies."

"Earlier, the wild Blue Silver Grass suffered greatly under the withering black light of the Hundred-Legged Heavenly Dragon. I used my second soul skill to envelop it, allowing the grass to remain indestructible."

"Alright, Yan Yan, it's time for you to deliver the final blow."

Dugu Yan glanced deeply at Wang Li. Was this Hundred-Legged Heavenly Dragon weak? Not at all. It was Wang Li who was just too strong.

That withering black light, with its deadly corruption and venom, if it had hit a person directly, even if they were a Soul Saint, their body would have decayed and vitality would have vanished in a matter of moments. Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo alike would have to be very cautious, avoiding direct contact with such venom.

After all, no matter how many soul rings a soul master has, their body can never be completely immune to poison. The best they can do is suppress the spread of toxins within their body with overwhelming soul power.

Wang Li didn't even have to take action himself. With the help of the vast field of Blue Silver Grass, he easily subdued a poisonous 40,000-year-old soul beast. Such a method was undeniably powerful.

At that moment, Wang Li had already controlled the Blue Silver Grass to drag the Hundred-Legged Heavenly Dragon to the ground. He didn't release his hold over it. From the outside in, the dragon's body was tightly bound by the Blue Silver Grass, and even inside its body, the grass had rooted itself completely.

Dugu Yan approached. The fierce appearance of the Hundred-Legged Heavenly Dragon was intimidating, but she wasn't just any ordinary girl. Her eyes gleamed, and her mental power gathered within her gaze.

The moment their eyes met, all the dragon's resentment and unwillingness vanished completely. In its eyes, it saw the Phosphorescent Divine Dragon soaring in the heavens, and the intense spiritual pressure caused it to fall into terror.

"Phosphorescent Breaking Demon Light!"

Immediately, two beams of light erupted from Dugu Yan's eyes, striking the ferocious head of the dragon in an instant.

Boom! Boom!

The dragon's head exploded. Even though it was a creature with countless legs, at that moment, it was as dead as could be.

Black energy surged from its corpse, rapidly swirling and eventually condensing into a profound black soul ring.

Dugu Yan stared at the black soul ring, her determination growing stronger. She then turned to Dugu Bo and Wang Li and said:

"Grandfather, Xiao Li, I'll absorb this soul ring now."

With that, Dugu Yan summoned her martial soul, calling for the black soul ring. Slowly, the ring floated toward her, encircling her martial soul before merging into it.

Dugu Yan prepared herself and immediately began absorbing the immense power contained in the soul ring. Overbearing and mighty, this 40,000-year-old soul ring could be considered terrifyingly powerful.

Meanwhile, Dugu Bo stood nervously to the side. With his decades of experience, he knew that only those at the threshold of Soul Saint rank—around level seventy—would dare absorb soul rings of such high age, typically 40,000 to 50,000 years, as their seventh ring.

He glanced at Wang Li. With Wang Li's example before him, he felt a bit more at ease. Two immortal grasses, two soul bones—such conditions meant that his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, should have no trouble succeeding.

Turning his attention back to Dugu Yan, he noticed that the process of absorbing the soul ring was not smooth. Her brows furrowed tightly, her face twisted in pain. Clearly, the power within this soul ring was no ordinary force.

However, that was the extent of the difficulty. As time passed, about three hours later, the overwhelming aura around her began to stabilize.

Opening her eyes, Dugu Yan let out a long breath before standing up. With a look of excitement, she said:

"Grandfather, Xiao Li, I did it!"

Dugu Bo's worried heart finally eased. Eagerly, he asked:

"Yan Yan, what's the result? What soul skill did you gain from this 40,000-year-old sixth soul ring?"

Even Wang Li, curious, awaited her answer.

Dugu Yan looked at them and explained:

"I've inherited the withering poison of the Hundred-Legged Heavenly Dragon. My sixth soul skill is called 'Phosphorescent Extinction Death Light.' It channels the withering poison into a beam of light."

"The withering poison, which can already strip away life force and cause a body to decay, is now released as a beam of light instead of poison mist. This allows it to have terrifying speed and strong penetrating power."

"I'm confident that with this soul skill, I can truly kill a Soul Saint. As long as their body comes into contact with even a bit of the withering poison light, their chances of survival are slim to none."

Dugu Bo inhaled sharply, realizing just how terrifying this attack soul skill was. Truly worthy of the 40,000-year-old Hundred-Legged Heavenly Dragon.

The withering poison—it was an incredibly lethal force.

Wang Li was equally shocked, but also pleased. This skill was undeniably domineering. Although it wasn't particularly useful against him, given his powerful vitality, he couldn't think of many people who could resist the withering poison's corruption of life force.

Then, Dugu Yan spoke to Wang Li:

"Xiao Li, please release your Blue Silver Grass and let go of the Hundred-Legged Heavenly Dragon's corpse."

Wang Li nodded and waved his hand. The Blue Silver Grass immediately contracted, and the lifeless body of the Hundred-Legged Heavenly Dragon fell to the ground, motionless.

Dugu Yan summoned her martial soul. Her sixth soul ring suddenly shone, and the profound black soul ring made her aura surge to unprecedented heights.

Her emerald eyes turned pitch black, as if they came from hell itself—able to steal away all life force. Dominant, imposing, cold, and eerie.

Opening her mouth, she expelled a beam of black light. The speed was incredible, and within an instant, it completely pierced through the Hundred-Legged Heavenly Dragon's corpse.

The already dead, lifeless body rapidly decayed in the beam. Flesh rotted, turning into a thick liquid. The exoskeleton shattered and turned to powder. The Hundred-Legged Heavenly Dragon was completely erased from existence, vanishing between heaven and earth.

However, after the Hundred-Legged Heavenly Dragon completely disappeared, a glowing object was left in the spot where its body had been. It was incredibly bright and emitted a terrifying aura.

Dugu Bo and Wang Li exchanged a glance, quickly arriving at the truth:

"Soul bone?!"

Dugu Yan also came to a sudden realization:

"So it's a soul bone! I had a feeling there was something else within this body that seemed to be pulling at my soul power."

Wang Li waved his hand, using his Blue Silver Grass to carefully extract the soul bone. He examined it closely and then said:

"It's a right leg bone. Yan Yan, since you've already absorbed the Hundred-Legged Heavenly Dragon's soul ring, why not seize the opportunity and absorb this soul bone as well? It should provide a huge boost to your strength."

Dugu Bo, astonished, exclaimed:

"Are we being blessed by the goddess of luck? Some people spend their whole lives hunting soul beasts and might never come across a soul bone. Yet, one after another, we kill a soul beast and not only get a soul ring but also a soul bone!"

Wang Li manipulated the Blue Silver Grass to bring the right leg soul bone of the Hundred-Legged Heavenly Dragon to Dugu Yan, continuing:

"Actually, it's not that unusual. Yan Yan's head soul bone was a prize from the Soul Master Tournament, and her left arm soul bone came from the soul bone I exchanged with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. This is the only soul bone that came from defeating a soul beast."

"My head soul bone and left arm soul bone were both obtained when I surpassed my limits and hunted soul beasts on my own. The risks were high, so the rewards were substantial. It makes sense, right?"

Dugu Bo shot Wang Li a glare:

"Make sense? You know how many Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo don't even have a single soul bone? And here we are, each of us having soul bones. There must be a god watching over us!"

At this point, Dugu Yan took the right leg soul bone from the Blue Silver Grass branches. She knew that even if she gave it up, neither Dugu Bo nor Wang Li would take it, so she spoke up:

"Grandfather, Xiao Li, give me a little more time. I just exceeded my limits to absorb the soul ring. My soul power is now at level 62. I want to see what kind of improvements this soul bone will bring me!"

After speaking, Dugu Yan began absorbing the soul bone, her third soul bone—the right leg soul bone of the Hundred-Legged Heavenly Dragon.

This time, the process took even longer. During the wait, Dugu Bo took the opportunity to hunt a hundred-year-old soul beast. After killing it, he removed the skin, cleaned out the internal organs, and prepared it for a stew.

Four hours later, a pot of meat soup was finally ready, and just in time, Dugu Yan woke up.

By the campfire, Dugu Bo ladled a bowl of hot soup for Dugu Yan and gently said,

"Yan Yan, have some food first."

Dugu Yan held the bowl of hot soup and took a small sip. It was a little too hot, so she turned to Dugu Bo and Wang Li and shared her gains:

"I'm now level 63. The soul ring and soul bone I absorbed by surpassing my limits have significantly boosted me. Once I stabilize my current level, I should be able to break through to level 64 soon."

"This soul bone, besides enhancing my basic attributes, also gave me a powerful skill—Divine Speed, the Hundred-Legged Heavenly Dragon's innate ability."

"Activating Divine Speed allows me to move at a speed comparable to teleportation, but it consumes a lot of soul power and puts strain on the body. To maintain that speed, I need ample soul power and a sufficiently strong body."

Wang Li raised an eyebrow and said,

"Your left arm soul bone gives you stealth, your right leg soul bone gives you Divine Speed, and only the head soul bone gives an attack-type skill, the Phosphorescent Demonic Light. Yan Yan, your offensive capabilities are still a bit lacking."

Dugu Bo fumed and replied,

"You shouldn't just focus on offense. In the soul master world, skills for survival are what everyone truly covets. Stealth and Divine Speed are both divine skills, in my opinion."

Dugu Yan turned to Wang Li and said,

"Although the left arm and right leg soul bones don't provide me with attack skills, their enhancement to my base attributes greatly increases the power of my soul techniques. With Stealth and Divine Speed, I'm confident I can handle even Soul Saint-level experts."

As they spoke, the three finished their meal, cleaned up the campsite, and Dugu Bo looked up at the starry sky with a smile, saying,

"We've successfully helped Yan Yan with her sixth soul ring and got a right leg soul bone. It's time to head back to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes."

Wang Li, glancing at the sky, decided it was best to postpone it for now. He then said seriously,

"Grandfather, Yan Yan, today we'll head back to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes. Tomorrow, accompany me to a mountain range at the border of the two great empires. There's a forest there hiding a 10,000-year-old Blue Silver King soul beast."

"I've roughly sensed its location through the Blue Silver Domain, and once we get closer, I can pinpoint its exact position. I want to hunt it for my seventh soul ring and achieve my martial soul avatar. I've already reached level 70."

Upon hearing this, both Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were utterly shocked. Did they hear correctly? Wang Li had reached level 70!

Dugu Bo looked Wang Li up and down, shaking his head in disbelief,

"I've always known that your martial soul is mutated, so you cultivate faster, but this doesn't make sense. You're already a Soul Emperor, over level 60, and your cultivation speed is ridiculously fast! You surpassed your limits to absorb a soul ring and rose to level 65. After just half a year, you're already at level 70? Xiao Li, you're only 15! Most 15-year-olds are still finishing their studies at a mid-level Soul Master academy, and here you are, about to become one of the rare Soul Saints of the continent?!"

Wang Li waved his hand innocently, saying,

"Fast cultivation isn't my fault. I've just been practicing normally, but my soul power keeps skyrocketing."

Dugu Yan was feeling a bit overwhelmed. She had just broken through to level 63 and thought she was catching up to Wang Li, but now he was telling her he had already reached level 70.

In a flurry of movement, she jumped on Wang Li, playfully rubbing his face as she teased,

"Xiao Li, you're really making it hard for your older sister to keep up!"

Dugu Bo looked up at the sky, rubbing his temples. Although he had the talent to reach Titled Douluo and had been very strong, he didn't become a Soul Saint until he was in his thirties or forties.

Now, Wang Li was so young and about to become a Soul Saint, and Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel a little bittersweet—new generations were always rising, while the old grew older.

After the two kids had their playful moment, Dugu Bo, along with Dugu Yan and Wang Li, took to the sky, leaving the mountain range behind as they flew toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.

Once Wang Li departed, the mountain range returned to its original state, transforming from the Blue Silver Mountain back into the Golden Iron Mountain. All the Blue Silver Grass returned to its usual form, but the benefits Wang Li had provided to it were real.

The Blue Silver Grass grew taller and more vigorous, and given its rate of evolution, it was possible that in a thousand or ten thousand years, this place might develop into a Blue Silver Forest. Even if it didn't give birth to a Blue Silver Emperor, it might very well give rise to a Blue Silver King.

Soon after, Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and Wang Li arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes. After a night's rest, they were all fully recharged.

The next day!

Dugu Bo led Dugu Yan and Wang Li toward the border mountain range Wang Li had mentioned. This mountain range was actually not far from the Fasno province, about a few days' journey.

In fact, when Tang Hao had taken Tang San to hide in the Holy Soul Village, it was likely because the village in the Fasno province was relatively close to the border mountains and the Blue Silver Forest, which was the birthplace of the Blue Silver Emperor.
