After the raging energy storm subsided, the forest floor had been stripped of its top layer. The once-abundant Blue Silver Grass had been utterly eradicated, leaving not a single root intact. 

At the very center, only the Blue Silver King remained. Its immense life force had allowed it to survive the storm, but even so, only half of its body remained. Its aura was weak, resembling a withered tree. 

Wang Li strode forward step by step, accompanied by countless Blue Silver vines that trailed at his sides. He understood that with the Blue Silver King's formidable vitality, these injuries were merely temporary and not fatal. 

With a wave of his hand, vines swiftly coiled around the remnants of the Blue Silver King's body. The toxins of ice and fire within them were released. 

One side of the Blue Silver King's body turned an icy blue, freezing into solid ice, while the other turned fiery red, rapidly carbonizing. The alternating extremes of extreme cold and searing heat severed its lifeline completely. 

A faint, almost inaudible wail echoed once more before vanishing entirely. 

A surge of black energy burst forth—it was the cultivation accumulated by the Blue Silver King over the years. With its death, this energy was no longer restrained, finally condensing into a soul ring. 

Wang Li gazed at the newly formed soul ring but did not immediately absorb it. Instead, he fully expanded his domain. Now that the Blue Silver King was dead, he intended to claim its territory. 

Without the Blue Silver King, the ordinary Blue Silver Grass, as well as the century-old and millennium-old variants, were powerless to resist him. 

Through his Blue Silver Domain, Wang Li harnessed the power of the Blue Silver Grass, rapidly restoring himself to peak condition. 

"An eighty-five-thousand-year-old Blue Silver King is actually a bit low in age for me at this point," Wang Li murmured. "But your power is the most suitable for me. The Martial Soul Avatar unleashes the true potential of a Martial Soul—there is no soul beast more fitting for the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul than the Blue Silver King." 

Once fully recovered, Wang Li wasted no time. He sat cross-legged and began summoning the Black Soul Ring left behind by the Blue Silver King. 

The black soul ring trembled slightly before slowly drifting toward him, settling onto his Martial Soul, and instantly merging into his being. 

As the vibrant life energy surged through him, Wang Li immediately sensed the difference. In the past, absorbing a soul ring required him to refine it before fully integrating its power. This time, however, the ring fused with him effortlessly, becoming his own strength without the need for deliberate refinement. 

Perhaps this was the effect of a power completely identical to his own—allowing a seamless fusion. Wang Li activated his cultivation technique, proactively refining the soul ring to accelerate the absorption process. 

After a long while, Wang Li felt a stir within his spiritual space. The figure of the Blue Silver King reappeared—now in the form of an elderly human. However, it was merely a remnant soul, as the power of its soul ring was nearly fully refined. 

The Blue Silver King glared coldly at Wang Li. 

"You will never succeed," it said. "Every single Blue Silver Forest clansman is loyal to the Emperor. They will never acknowledge a second ruler." 

Wang Li chuckled lightly and replied, 

"You are not them. How can you be so sure they won't accept a new Emperor? The Emperor has been gone for many years—most likely dead, turned into someone else's soul ring. The clansmen need a new leader to guide them, to accelerate their evolution." 

The Blue Silver King refused to believe it. 

"You're lying! That's impossible! With the Emperor's life force, as long as a single clansman exists, she is immortal and indestructible!" 

Wang Li, indifferent, spoke the harsh truth. 

"But what if she was deceived, had her emotions manipulated, bore someone else's child, and suffered a devastating loss of vitality? If her strength was reduced to a mere fraction of what it once was, would she still be immortal?" 

The Blue Silver King could not accept it. It muttered to itself repeatedly, 

"Impossible... Absolutely impossible..." 

Even as it faded from Wang Li's spiritual space, it remained in denial, unable to believe the truth. 

Once the Blue Silver King vanished, Wang Li accelerated the absorption of the soul ring. Finally, when he completely refined its power, the ring, like his previous six, hovered around him in an endless cycle. 

"Hu—!" 

Wang Li awakened, his eyes snapping open. Strength surged through his body, flowing ceaselessly. The boundless energy made him feel deeply satisfied. 

Opening his status panel, he scanned the information:

Everything else was secondary. Wang Li had chosen the Blue Silver King as his seventh soul ring for one reason—to acquire the most compatible Martial Soul Avatar. Without hesitation, he tapped on the seventh soul ring, transitioning to another interface.

[Source: Blue Silver King] 

As the unrivaled ruler of the Blue Silver Grass, the Blue Silver King possesses boundless vitality, an indestructible body, immense power, and rapid regeneration. 

[Years: 85,632 (+)] 

Wang Li's heart pounded with excitement. Although the amplification was a bit low for now, he could increase the soul ring's age. In the future, once it reached a million years, the boost would soar to 1,000%. 

The key was immortality. With his first soul skill, he could create an entire Blue Silver Forest. Across the entire Douluo Continent, who had the power to destroy an entire Blue Silver Forest with a single attack? 

As for energy consumption? With his regeneration ability, what was there to fear? Moreover, through the Blue Silver Domain, he could borrow power from the Blue Silver Grass to recover quickly. This Blue Silver True Form was essentially a permanent state. 

At this moment, Wang Li pondered a serious question—those so-called gods who could be injured by hidden weapons… Did any of them possess the power to obliterate the Star Dou Forest in a single strike? 

Raising an eyebrow, Wang Li stepped toward the remains of the Blue Silver King. With a casual wave, he controlled the Blue Silver Vines, tearing apart the lifeless body. Suddenly, a right arm bone, glowing with a faint blue radiance, emerged before his eyes. 

"A soul bone... and it's a right arm bone!" 

Wang Li was overjoyed. He already had a left arm bone, and now, this right arm bone had arrived at the perfect time—absolutely perfect. 

Without hesitation, he began absorbing the soul bone. The process was effortless, and after several hours, he had completely refined it. 

Now, he possessed a head bone, left arm bone, and right arm bone. All that remained were a torso bone, left leg bone, and right leg bone. 

Focusing his senses, he examined the abilities of the newly obtained right arm bone: 

- Blue Silver Incarnation – Expends energy to create an avatar. Though each incarnation wields only a tenth of his original power, there is no limit to the number he can create, and they can be placed anywhere the Blue Silver Grass thrives. 

- These incarnations can integrate with and command the local Blue Silver Grass, allowing Wang Li's will to descend upon them. Their strength will depend entirely on the quality and quantity of the surrounding Blue Silver Grass. 

"Hmm... This ability doesn't directly enhance my combat strength, but it'll do. At the very least, it's an 85,000-year soul bone—an invaluable treasure that could send shockwaves through the Soul Master world." 

With his rewards secured, Wang Li had already achieved half of his goal for this trip. The only thing left now was his coronation as Emperor. 

His gaze swept across the surroundings. In an instant, his second soul ring shone brilliantly, and a surge of life force spread outward—he was about to rebuild the Blue Silver Forest. 

The depths of the forest, once lush and thriving, had been reduced to ruins due to the battle between Wang Li and the Blue Silver King. However, under the nourishment of life energy, the Blue Silver Grass began to sprout once more. The shattered land was slowly restored, once again transforming into a sea of blue. 

Wang Li unleashed his full power. His Martial Soul radiated a golden halo, shining with an unprecedented brilliance. It was the embodiment of his recognition—the acknowledgment from every Blue Silver Grass across the Heaven Dou Empire. At his back stood the support of more than half of the Blue Silver Grass in the entire continent. 

"The people of the Blue Silver Forest—the old emperor has fallen. A new emperor must rise! I seek my coronation—who approves, and who opposes?" 

Bathed in the endless golden radiance, Wang Li's expression was solemn, almost divine. His presence exuded both warmth and indifference—he could be a benevolent ruler or a ruthless one. It all depended on how his subjects chose to respond. 

The golden aura continued to expand, quickly enveloping the entire Blue Silver Forest. One by one, every Blue Silver Grass lowered its head in submission. 

Had the Blue Silver King still been alive, it could have united the entire forest in defiance, rejecting Wang Li's ascension. But now, it was dead. Even the closest and strongest Blue Silver Grass, those that once stood by its side, had perished in battle. 

Now, no Blue Silver Grass was capable of resisting Wang Li, whose rise had been endorsed by more than half of the Blue Silver Grass across the continent.

Tiny streams of energy began to surge from the Blue Silver Grass, gradually coming together to form an enormous, deep blue ocean. At the center of the ocean stood Wang Li.

Outside the forest...

Originally seated on a rock, gently swinging her jade-like legs, Dugu Yan felt the sudden disturbance and quickly rose. She turned to her grandfather, Dugu Bo, and asked: 

"Grandfather, should we go in and take a look?"

Dugu Bo, hands behind his back, looked at the vast ocean of life energy gathering in the forest and was visibly shocked. However, he calmly responded: 

"No need to rush. Within the forest, Little Li's aura is only growing stronger. This isn't a bad thing for him—it might be a great opportunity."

For Wang Li, it was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In the heart of the forest, a massive surge of life energy poured in. Wang Li's entire body was enveloped in a radiant blue glow.

From the inside out, his organs, bones, and every part of his body were being nourished by the overwhelming energy from his kin, causing his life level to undergo a metamorphosis.

Though he didn't need any bloodline awakening, the immense life force of the Blue Silver King—no, the Blue Silver Emperor—was enough to completely transform him, eventually making him the source of a new bloodline.

Surrounding his body were seven soul rings—black, black, black, black, black, red, black. All of them had taken on a faint blue hue, but eventually, all the blue energy was drawn into the seventh soul ring.

This soul ring, from the Blue Silver King, held a completely synchronized power with him. Under the blessings of all the Blue Silver Grass, the soul ring's age limit seemed to have been unlocked.

The 85,000-year soul ring began to improve. As the blue glow intensified, the black soul ring slowly began to shift into a blood-red color.

Time passed unnoticed—two full days and nights—and the black seventh soul ring had transformed into a crimson hue. Its age had surged to an astonishing 150,000 years.

As all the energy dissipated, the transformation was complete. Wang Li finally revealed himself in the heart of the forest.

However, his appearance had changed. His formerly shoulder-length hair had now grown into a long, flowing mane, with every strand gleaming in blue. His height and physique were more balanced and harmonious.

Though his facial features hadn't changed, there was an undeniable air of greater beauty, as if he had grown more striking. Slowly, he opened his eyes—his deep blue pupils, like gemstones, were mesmerizing and radiant.

Wang Li stood up and checked his status:

[Host: Wang Li] 

[Martial Soul: Blue Silver Emperor Lv7 (Evolving)] 

[Soul Power: Level 72 (49%)+] 

[Traits: Eternal Life Lv7 (As the only ruler of Blue Silver Grass, the Blue Silver Emperor possesses near-immortal life force. Even if life is extinguished, it can be rekindled.)] 

[Passive: Unyielding Will Lv7 (The will transcends the body, allowing for the interference of reality. Even in death, as long as the soul or body remains, a return to life is possible, becoming even stronger.)] 

[Domain: Blue Silver Domain Lv5 (Exclusive to the Blue Silver Emperor, an essential domain for evolving into the Blue Silver Emperor.)] 

[Soul Rings: First Soul Ring (Equipped) Second Soul Ring (Equipped) Third Soul Ring (Equipped) Fourth Soul Ring (Equipped) Fifth Soul Ring (Equipped) Sixth Soul Ring (Equipped) Seventh Soul Ring (Equipped)] 

[Soul Bones: Dreamflower Fairy's Head Bone (Equipped) Everlasting Evergreen's Left Arm Bone (Equipped) Blue Silver King's Right Arm Bone (Equipped)] 

[Combat Experience: 12,840]

With a deep breath, Wang Li marveled at his own transformation. This was the life force of the Blue Silver Emperor, even able to survive sacrifice. However, there was a small drawback—those capable of killing him could also leave behind his soul and corpse, offering him a chance at rebirth.

Though this might seem a bit of a double-edged sword, it also acted as a safety net. With his immortality, not even a Titled Douluo would be able to slay him.

Stretching lazily, Wang Li felt his body and mind rejuvenated. Suddenly, something caught his attention—his right arm began to glow.

Soon, a phantom figure—exactly like Wang Li—emerged from his body, formed purely from energy.

The two Wang Lis exchanged a glance. Wang Li's eyes held wisdom, while the energy copy's eyes were hollow.

With a snap of his fingers, the energy figure disappeared without a trace. It hadn't dissipated, though—it had simply been stored in the Blue Silver Forest.

Wherever the Blue Silver Grass flourished, the Blue Silver Avatar could exist indefinitely. Wang Li's will could descend into it at any time, manifesting in the forest and exerting power equal to his own.

"Let's go, we can't keep Grandfather and Yan Yan waiting."
