The Ultimate Weapon for Group Battles!

"Exactly." Ghost Douluo chimed in at this point. "And attack power is only secondary. I believe the most terrifying aspect of this Plant Domain lies on the battlefield! It is practically the ultimate weapon for group battles! With this domain in place, no matter how many soldiers enter it, they will have to face the relentless lashings and attacks of endless plants! An army would become nothing more than decoration."

Hearing this, Yun Chuan understood what Ghost Douluo meant. Why would an army become mere decoration? Because controlling the plants within the domain to attack others did not consume his Soul Power. In other words, those plants could attack without stopping!

Even if these plants were not especially powerful and could be easily torn apart by Soul Elders, new plants would quickly rush forward, attacking and harassing without end. This would continue, trapping Soul Masters within the domain and forcing them to face an unceasing stream of plant attacks.

A Soul Master's Soul Power was limited, but the attacking plants were limitless. If they could not escape the three-hundred-meter range of the domain quickly enough, then the moment their Soul Power ran dry under the endless plant attacks, they would be left utterly unable to resist!

This was what they called a war of attrition—wearing the enemy to death!

From this perspective, his Plant Domain truly was suited for group attacks. For example, on a battlefield, if he deployed the Plant Domain over a three-hundred-meter area, plants would automatically grow from the ground and swarm the army in a frenzy! Unless every soldier was a Soul Emperor, no matter how many there were, they would only meet a bitter end!

Moreover, the plants within the domain might not remain weak forever. Yun Chuan felt that if he added Soul Rings to the Plant Goddess Martial Soul, the plants he controlled might become more powerful. Even the domain's range could expand beyond three hundred meters and spread farther still!

Not only that, Yun Chuan felt that his understanding of the Plant Domain was still too shallow. He believed this domain definitely had other wondrous uses he had yet to discover and develop!

"Boom!"

A giant beast radiating black soul light all over its body collapsed to the ground, barely clinging to life.

It was a massive ape covered in golden fur, roughly ten meters tall. Its body was packed with bulging muscles that displayed terrifying strength. Clearly, it was a strength-type Soul Beast!

"Xiao Chuan, this Adamant Ape has just reached ten thousand years. It is perfect for you to absorb." Chrysanthemum Douluo slowly withdrew his hand, dispersing the sharp blades circling around him. He then turned around and looked at Yun Chuan with a smile. "Absorbing a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring as your first Soul Ring... you may well create a new record in the continent's history."

"Mm. Thank you, Chrysanthemum Elder." Yun Chuan nodded obediently. Then, taking the longsword Bibi Dong handed him with her delicate hand, he walked to the head of the giant ape, which seemed on the verge of dying at any moment, and raised the sword...

Sorry about this! After silently apologizing, he viciously thrust the longsword downward!

"Splat!"

The sword pierced through the giant ape's eye and into its brain, spraying blood everywhere! The already dying giant ape convulsed violently, then went completely still.

A dark black ring rose from its corpse!

A Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!

Before absorbing the Soul Ring, Yun Chuan turned to glance behind him. Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes were full of affection and encouragement as she looked at him. Beside her, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had both widened their eyes, seemingly unwilling to miss the historic moment about to unfold!

Turning back, he took a deep breath. Then he summoned his Supreme Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul. With a flash of golden light, the Golden Hammer appeared, its body covered in lightning, flames, and white light effects.

The moment the Golden Hammer appeared in his right hand, Yun Chuan had barely grasped its handle when he felt an irresistible force coming from it! His entire body was dragged forward, forcing him to bend at the waist as the little hammer naturally crashed onto the ground.

"BOOM!!!!"

It seemed as though the entire Star Dou Great Forest trembled.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo stared in utter shock at the Golden Hammer, which was covered in electric light and blazing flame effects. They had heard about it beforehand, but witnessing it in person still felt unreal.

It had merely been placed gently on the ground, yet the earth shook as though an earthquake had struck!

Just how heavy was this Golden Hammer, which looked anything but ordinary?

Yun Chuan released the Golden Hammer's handle and sat down cross-legged on the spot. Sitting beside the golden-furred giant ape's corpse, he assumed a meditative posture. Using his Soul Power to draw in the dark Soul Ring, he slowly guided it around the Supreme Clear Sky Hammer, which was bursting with effects...

Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo all held their breath at the sight. Although he possessed fifty levels of Soul Power and should theoretically have no trouble absorbing a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, he was still young. If anything unexpected happened, the three of them could act in time to save him!

That was the true reason Bibi Dong had brought Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo with her.

Under the watchful eyes of the three, the dark Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring slowly merged into the Golden Hammer, which was covered in effects...

At the same time, Yun Chuan, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, seemed to hear a savage, violent roar within his consciousness. But immediately afterward, the Golden Supreme Clear Sky Hammer beside him released a faint ripple.

The roar stopped abruptly.

Yun Chuan could feel that the resentment the golden-furred giant ape had harbored before its death within the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring was effortlessly crushed by the Supreme Clear Sky Hammer's power!

Without the interference of the Soul Beast's resentment, the process of absorbing the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring went exceptionally smoothly.

Yun Chuan even felt that this ten-thousand-year Soul Ring was not his limit. His current body could still bear a Soul Ring with a higher age. But since he had already absorbed it, a slightly lower age did not matter.

A moment later.

Yun Chuan slowly opened his eyes, and a flash of golden light vanished in an instant. His eyes soon returned to their original deep black. He could feel that after absorbing the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, his physique had improved tremendously. This time, he should be able to lift the hammer, right?

Seeing Yun Chuan absorb the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring so easily, Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo all breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing unexpected had happened.

Yun Chuan rose to his feet, feeling the surging power within his body. Looking at the Supreme Clear Sky Hammer on the ground, which was bursting with effects, he felt brimming with confidence. He believed that he was now strong enough to lift this hammer.

Yun Chuan bent down, grabbed the Golden Hammer's handle, and pulled upward with all his strength!

It did not budge!

His expression changed. Refusing to believe it, he reached out with his other hand, gripped the handle with both hands, and heaved upward fiercely, trying to lift the tiny hammer.

But unfortunately, the hammer remained completely motionless. It was as though it had grown roots in the ground. No matter how hard he pulled, it stayed firmly rooted in place.

"I refuse to believe this!"

Yun Chuan gritted his teeth, suddenly remembering that among the hammer's four attributes was a strength attribute. Once activated, it could greatly enhance all aspects of his physical ability. Could it be that he needed to apply the strength attribute to himself before he could lift this hammer?

With that thought, he used his mind to activate the hammer's strength attribute. At once, he felt an overbearing force flood into his body, an unparalleled sensation of power filling every part of him...

But he soon discovered that this surging power was too immense, too overwhelming! His body was faintly unable to withstand it, as though it would collapse at any moment!

"Not good!"

Yun Chuan decisively cut off the flow of the strength attribute. Only then did the sensation of his body about to burst fade away. Yet the remaining strength attribute still made him feel as though, with a mere wave of his hand, he could shatter mountains and split the earth!

"After adding a Soul Ring, every aspect of my Martial Soul has been enhanced! Instead, my body can no longer withstand the Martial Soul's power!" He quickly realized this. After all, the last time he had drawn the strength attribute into his body, he had not felt as if his body were about to burst apart.

It had to be said that the difference between having a Soul Ring and not having one was truly enormous!

His hands were still gripping the hammer's handle. Feeling the power surging through his body, his Confidence Burst! He felt certain that this time, he could definitely lift it! He gathered all his strength into his arms and heaved upward with all his might!

Get up!
