Atlas Spear's First Soul Ring

The Void God Leopard was currently pinned down by Yang Wudi's Soul Power pressure, unable to move. Although it was a Super Soul Beast like the Titan Giant Ape, it specialized in space, and its physical strength was far inferior to the Titan Giant Ape's. It could not break free from Yang Wudi's restraints.

Yang Ming walked up to the little leopard and pondered for a while as he watched the struggling Void God Leopard. At last, he looked at the transparent, ancient Atlas Spear in his hand and made his final decision.

"Grandfather, let me absorb the Void God Leopard's Spirit Ring!"

After considering every aspect, Yang Ming felt that the chances of success were not small. There were two reasons. First, the Void God Leopard was a space-attribute Soul Beast, while Yang Ming's Atlas Spear also possessed a Space Prohibition attribute that he could not yet use. In terms of Martial Soul attributes, it could restrain the Void God Leopard to a certain extent. Second, Yang Ming had a hypothesis. If it proved correct, he would be able to obtain all his future Spirit Rings beyond the current ring limit. The First Soul Ring was the best opportunity to test it.

Seeing that Yang Ming had made up his mind, Yang Wudi felt somewhat worried, but he did not object. He had confidence in Yang Ming's Martial Soul and judgment. He merely said one thing.

"Good luck!"

Yang Ming nodded at his grandfather, raised the Atlas Spear in his hand, and thrust it straight at the Void God Leopard's heart. This time, the Void God Leopard could not move under the pressure of Soul Power, nor could it use its Talent Ability.

With one spear piercing the heavens, the Void God Leopard let out a mournful cry before swiftly losing all signs of life.

"Wail!"

Hearing the Void God Leopard's death throes, Yang Ming felt a little sad, though not much. After all... it was not as if he had eaten little Soul Beast meat these past few days! All he could do was strike decisively and reduce its suffering as much as possible.

Dense yellow motes of light slowly emerged, gathering above the Void God Leopard's corpse into a Spirit Ring of deep yellow with faint silver patterns. Unlike the hundred-year Soul Beasts Yang Ming had eaten before, the Spirit Ring born from the Void God Leopard did not merely contain more immense and purer energy. More importantly, Yang Ming could sense an ethereal quality from it, unlike that of an ordinary Spirit Ring.

Once the Spirit Ring had formed, Yang Ming immediately sat cross-legged. Soul Power surged into the Atlas Spear in his right hand, and a suction force came from the spear, drawing the Void God Leopard's Spirit Ring above Yang Ming's head. It slowly descended, eventually shrinking to the size of a bracelet and settling around the Atlas Spear.

Soon, an icy energy rushed toward him, making Yang Ming feel as though he had walked naked into an ice field. In an instant, his entire body began trembling uncontrollably.

"Stay conscious. Begin meditating and subdue the Spirit Ring!"

Outside, Yang Wudi called out a reminder. Hearing him, Yang Ming endured the pain and immediately began using Absolute Dominance to refine the Spirit Ring.

The restraint brought about by Yang Ming's Martial Soul attribute was far weaker than he had imagined. The Atlas Spear was indeed a Super Spirit, but was the Void God Leopard not a Super Soul Beast as well? As a darling of space, the Space Prohibition attribute did restrain it, but not by much!

Under Internal Vision, Yang Ming saw only his Atlas Spear floating amid the cold Spirit Ring Soul Power, continuously absorbing and refining it. However, the refining speed was not fast.

In Yang Wudi's eyes outside, Yang Ming's body began to swell. His entire body turned red, veins bulged, and Blood Mist began pouring from the pores around him. It was obvious that the Spirit Ring contained too much Soul Power, and Yang Ming could no longer bear the burden.

Seeing this, Yang Wudi's confidence began to fade, gradually turning into anxiety and self-reproach. He began wondering whether he had lost his mind to let his grandson absorb the Spirit Ring of a Super Soul Beast nearly six hundred years old. But now that things had come to this, Yang Wudi could only pray and hope that Yang Ming could create another miracle. Otherwise, if he interrupted Yang Ming's absorption of the Spirit Ring now, Yang Ming's path of cultivation would end here!

Yang Ming could also feel his current condition. The massive Spirit Ring Soul Power was eroding every part of his body, leaving him in agony yet painfully clear-headed. It was impossible not to notice.

No one knew how long passed, but the Blood Mist around Yang Ming grew denser and denser. Just as tears gathered at the corners of Yang Wudi's eyes and he prepared to intervene and interrupt Yang Ming's absorption of the Spirit Ring, the Atlas Spear... erupted!

At this moment, inside Yang Ming's body—

Perhaps sensing that its master was in danger, the Atlas Spear finally began to display its power. The White Incandescent Flame surrounding it condensed into a tiny flame and began traveling through Yang Ming's entire body. The cold energy that had previously run rampant within him was rapidly burned away the moment it touched that wisp of flame, turning into drops of purer yet no longer aggressive liquid Soul Power, which the Atlas Spear obediently absorbed.

Sensing the Atlas Spear's actions, Yang Ming was delighted. I won the bet!

When his Martial Soul had first awakened, Yang Ming had sensed a vast power sleeping within the Atlas Spear. Although he could not actively use it now, would that power truly remain indifferent if he encountered a life-or-death crisis? Judging from the current result, it would not! The Spirit Ring Soul Power had been dealt with miserably.

Seeing the Soul Power around Yang Ming begin circulating in an orderly manner again and the swelling of his body gradually recede, Yang Wudi promptly withdrew his hand. He sighed in relief and continued watching carefully.

Perhaps the Void God Leopard had realized that its previous conventional methods could no longer kill the boy absorbing its Spirit Ring. A tiny black leopard soul emerged from the cold Soul Power. The Void God Leopard's Remnant Soul had appeared, determined to make one final attempt.

Yang Ming was startled when he saw the Void God Leopard's Remnant Soul. This did not look like Soul Power taking form; it truly seemed to be a Remnant Soul. Was this what it meant to be a Super Soul Beast? With only a hundred years of cultivation, it could keep its Remnant Soul alive and merge it into its Spirit Ring, accomplishing something that ordinary ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts could achieve only after ten thousand years.

The Void God Leopard's Remnant Soul gathered all the remaining Spirit Ring Soul Power and hurled it at that wisp of white flame in one overwhelming, surging wave. Then... the Soul Power burned even faster.

Sometimes, if you do not give it your all, you never learn what true despair is! The flame had originally been too small and had needed to trace each meridian one by one, burning slowly. Now, the Void God Leopard had helpfully added fuel itself, making it burn even faster. Yang Ming watched as the flame remained the same size while the Spirit Ring Soul Power rapidly dwindled. The Void God Leopard raged helplessly, growing angrier and angrier.

In the end, Yang Ming could not bear to watch any longer. He activated the Atlas Spear within his body and ended the Void God Leopard's Remnant Soul with a single strike. Looking at the hatred and faint relief in its eyes before death, Yang Ming decided, If this happens again, I would rather spend more time and kill the Remnant Soul sooner. Making it die slowly while watching the entire process of its own death is too cruel!

As the Atlas Spear killed the Void God Leopard's Remnant Soul, a stream of silver energy suddenly appeared inside Yang Ming's body and flowed into the Atlas Spear. Fine patterns began emerging on the originally smooth black spear shaft. They were shallow and inconspicuous, but upon closer inspection, they resembled the Void Origin Pattern on the Void God Leopard's body.

Soon, the White Incandescent Flame burned through all the Spirit Ring Soul Power. It too became ethereal once more and returned to the Atlas Spear. After the Atlas Spear finished absorbing the Spirit Ring Soul Power, an illusory cracking sound rang out within Yang Ming's body.

Hearing that sound, Yang Ming was overjoyed. It worked!
