First Soul Ring — Purple 132 During Qin Ze and Di Yue Li's Power of Destiny fusion, his original yellow ring evolved toward purple.
Third Soul Ring — Purple-red with black trace 121 122 Produced by a mutated Soul Devouring Demon Spider formed through the forced fusion of a Soul Devouring Demon Spider and Magic Blade Mantis; the beast was approximately 8,500 years old.
Third Soul Ring — Purified purple-red 132 Power of Destiny expelled black airflow from the ring, leaving it crystal clear.
Fourth Soul Ring — Black; 40,000 years 267 Absorbed from a One-Eyed Demon Giant despite its severe soul shock and lingering will.
Fifth Soul Ring — Transparent → White → Yellow → Purple → Black → Red 321 323 324 325 Qin Ze's first self-condensed ring. Bloodline power, stored Soul Power, Spirit Gold, and Demon Armor Soul Power pushed it to the hundred-thousand-year level; his cultivation rose to Level 55.
Sixth Soul Ring — Red 372 380 411 Formed through Qin Ze's process involving the Snow Empress; later confirmed as his second hundred-thousand-year ring.
Seventh Soul Ring — Deep blue 499 500 Self-condensed after Qin Ze introduced the Source of Destruction and life energy into the process. Its aura is extremely cold and still, yet retains a faint trace of life; Qin Ze became a Soul Saint.
Eighth Soul Ring — Bluish-green 585 664 677 Created by infusing a strand of Demon Armor's origin attribute into the bloodline cloud. It grants Life Domain: Azure Dragon Light.
Ninth Soul Ring — Seven-colored 664 Appeared alongside Qin Ze's breakthrough to Titled Douluo after intervention by the Goddess of Life and God of Destruction.

Nature and Functions

Soul Rings are essential to a Soul Master's advancement. A Soul Master who reaches a cultivation bottleneck must obtain a suitable ring before continuing to progress; innate full Soul Power allows a newly awakened Soul Master to obtain a first ring immediately. 5 32

A ring attaches to the user's Martial Soul and manifests around the body when activated. Its stored power grants at least one Soul Skill, with the skill's nature influenced by the source Soul Beast, the Martial Soul, and the compatibility between them. 22 277 303

Traditional formation

When a Soul Beast dies, its uncontrolled bloodline talent and Soul Power merge, transform into energy, and disperse as a Soul Ring. From a Soul Beast's perspective, a Soul Ring is effectively a Soul Skill containing its bloodline power. 278 303

  • Soul Masters traditionally obtain rings by killing Soul Beasts and activating their Martial Souls to fuse with the ring's Soul Power. 277
  • Absorption is limited by the user's physical constitution, Spiritual Power, Soul Ring age, and compatibility with the ring. 115 267 277
  • High-age rings can produce soul shock, in which the Soul Beast's remaining will and Spiritual Power assault the absorber. Failure can destroy both soul and body. 267
  • A ring from a forcibly fused or incompatible Soul Beast may reject the user; recorded absorbers of such failed fusion rings generally died. 125

Soul Skill acquisition

Soul Rings provide the Soul Skills that define a Soul Master's combat options. Soul Beasts possess inherited bloodline skills, and humans obtain comparable abilities by integrating the bloodline power carried within a ring. 303

  • Asura's Soul — Qin Ze's First Soul Skill. Raises attack and speed by 50%, gives attacks lightning damage, lasts half an hour, and adds 20% melee damage. 22
  • Soul Devouring Demon Sealing Slash — Qin Ze's Third Soul Skill. Its special ring suppresses Spiritual Power, interrupts movement and Soul Skill activation, hinders Soul Power release, and can immobilize targets. 122 125
  • Life Domain: Azure Dragon Light — Qin Ze's Eighth Soul Skill. Releases extreme life energy and makes surrounding World Origin Energy, especially life-aligned energy, highly active. 677

Color and Age Classification

Soul Ring color Standard age tier Notes
White 10 years Lowest standard classification. 121
Yellow 100 years Standard hundred-year ring. 121
Purple 1,000 years Standard thousand-year ring. 121
Black 10,000 years Standard ten-thousand-year ring. 121
Red 100,000 years Standard hundred-thousand-year ring; its aura can overwhelm weaker Soul Masters. 121 380
Purple-red Special mutation Qin Ze's Third Soul Ring; its coloration resulted from the forced fusion of two spiritual- and dark-aligned Soul Beasts. 121 125
Transparent Newly condensed state A self-condensed ring initially appears blank and transparent before accumulating energy and developing color. 321 438 439
Deep blue Special self-condensed ring Qin Ze's Seventh Ring, associated with the Source of Destruction and life energy. 500 585
Bluish-green Special self-condensed ring Qin Ze's Eighth Ring, formed using his Martial Soul's origin attribute. 585
Seven-colored Special ninth ring Qin Ze's Ninth Ring, obtained with divine intervention. 664

Special Mutated Soul Ring

Qin Ze's Third Soul Ring is a Special Mutated Soul Ring produced by the forced combination of a Soul Devouring Demon Spider and a Magic Blade Mantis. Both creatures possessed spiritual and dark attributes, but their fusion should ordinarily have been impossible. 121 125

  • It was approximately 8,500 years old despite displaying a color outside the normal age system. 121
  • Its power fuses darkness with Spiritual Power, creating a suppressive effect against opponents' Spiritual Power and Soul Skills. 125
  • Elder Yun considered its ability to interrupt movement, Soul Skills, and Soul Power release a potential bane to Soul Masters. 125
  • Qin Ze's successful absorption was abnormal because his Demon Armor Martial Soul was not known to possess balanced spiritual and dark attributes. 125

Self-Condensing Soul Ring Method

The Self-Condensing Soul Ring Method allows a Soul Master to create a ring without hunting a Soul Beast. Qin Ze developed the method from research into Soul Beast bloodlines, inherited Soul Skills, acupoints, and the way Soul Beasts form rings. 277 303 312

Core process

  1. Open the body's acupoints and use Acupoint Qi to activate the bloodline within the Dantian. 325
  2. Cause source Soul Power, Spiritual Power, and Acupoint Qi to resonate: “first soul, then spirit, circulate qi; resonance calls the blood to move.” 363
  3. Guide bloodline power into existing Soul Rings, where it combines with their Soul Power and returns to the body in a completed cycle. 321 325
  4. Activate the bloodline again to create a bloodline cloud; the existing Soul Rings form an array around it. 321 325
  5. Use the Martial Soul as the final vessel. The bloodline cloud and stored Soul Power condense into a new transparent ring, which gains age as energy enters it. 321 323 325

Properties

  • A self-condensed ring has no Soul Beast aura. 422 439
  • It is formed according to the user's own Martial Soul and is considered more suitable than an equal-age ring obtained through hunting. 439
  • The ring's final age depends on available bloodline power, stored Soul Power, opened acupoints, and the user's ability to endure the process. 323 584
  • The method is intended to reduce Soul Beast hunting, prevent resource conflict, and preserve the future of both Soul Masters and Soul Beasts. 131 347 584

Public implementation

Shrek Academy delayed large-scale promotion until the Acupoint Breaking Soul Tool could be mass-produced, as most people could not reliably open acupoints on their own. 377 439

  • Lin Yi publicly condensed a thousand-year ring with Qin Ze's assistance, demonstrating the method's feasibility. 584
  • Lingqi City began accepting reservations for self-condensed rings at the City Lord's Estate for one Gold Soul Coin. 585
  • The low cost was especially significant for impoverished Soul Masters, who otherwise faced expensive hunts or dependency on sects and nobles. 579 584
