The Blue Silver Grass before him was actually a Thousand-Year plant, which truly shocked him.

At first, he had planned to use Blue Silver Grass as a soul ring.

Hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Grass was undying and indestructible. Unless it chose suicide, its life would never fade away.

If he wanted his Second Soul Ring to grant a recovery-type soul skill, then Blue Silver Grass was actually the best choice.

But since there was no Blue Silver Grass with such a high cultivation level, and Yuan Luo could not find that place, he could only choose another kind of Soul Beast.

As he thought, the Blue Silver Grass began twisting its body, and the surrounding Blue Silver Grass started moving as well.

They sensed the dangerous killing intent emanating from Yuan Luo.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a finger-thick stalk of Blue Silver Grass shot out of the ground and lunged at Yuan Luo's legs.

Soul Power gathered beneath Yuan Luo's feet, and he leaped aside swiftly, evading the first attack.

"Sharp Gold Soul Blade!"

His First Soul Skill activated, and a golden longsword appeared in his hand.

With a light slash, a streak of golden blade energy shot forth, slicing straight toward the Blue Silver Grass in the center.

Several stalks of Blue Silver Grass burst from the ground, trying to block the golden light.

One!

Two!

Nine!

Nine stalks of Blue Silver Grass were severed at the waist, blocking Yuan Luo's attack.

At the same time, Yuan Luo did not sit still and wait for death.

He continuously slashed at the surrounding Blue Silver Grass.

The surrounding Blue Silver Grass was clearly all underlings of the central stalk. If he dealt with them now, he would not need to guard against them later.

Gradually, Yuan Luo drew closer and closer to the Blue Silver Grass.

"Whoosh!"

Several stalks of Blue Silver Grass attacked at once, reaching through the air to entangle Yuan Luo.

With a sweep of his longsword, one stalk of Blue Silver Grass snapped apart.

It could be said that Yuan Luo's soul skill naturally countered Blue Silver Grass.

Sharpness was a characteristic of the Metal Element. How could a soft, frail stalk of Blue Silver Grass withstand it? If it were the Blue Silver Emperor, it might have been possible, but how could this mere two-thousand-year Blue Silver Grass endure it?

At that moment, several stalks of Blue Silver Grass emerged from underground.

Yuan Luo had just been in midair when the Blue Silver Grass launched its attack.

It had to be said that this Blue Silver Grass truly possessed intelligence now. It had actually found such an overlooked opening.

But its opponent was Yuan Luo, the wielder of an Air Spirit with limitless potential for development.

Under Yuan Luo's control, a pair of Wind Fire Wheels appeared beneath his feet. Calling them Wind Fire Wheels was less accurate than calling them circular blades.

With his current Soul Power, this was all Yuan Luo could manage.

Very quickly, the three stalks of Blue Silver Grass beneath his feet were cut apart by the blades.

The Blue Silver Grass seemed endless, constantly growing new branches to attack Yuan Luo.

After a while, even Yuan Luo became annoyed.

Getting close was too difficult, yet without getting close, he could not kill it at all.

Afterward, Yuan Luo controlled his Soul Power, and countless slender golden needles appeared before him.

"Sky Full of Needle Rain!"

Yuan Luo controlled his Soul Power and gave a light push. Countless Golden Needles sprayed toward the Blue Silver Grass.

But the Blue Silver Grass seemed to have been prepared. Many new stalks grew from underground again, blocking the attack.

Yuan Luo was breathing a little heavily. Half of his Soul Power had already been consumed.

Fortunately, this was a weak plant-type Soul Beast like Blue Silver Grass. Otherwise, if he had encountered any random two-thousand-year Soul Beast, Yuan Luo might not even have been able to withstand a single move.

The reason he and the Blue Silver Grass could trade moves without either being able to do anything to the other was entirely because Blue Silver Grass itself was relatively weak, unlike powerful Soul Beasts such as the Blue Silver King and Blue Silver Emperor.

It was also because Yuan Luo's soul skill countered it.

What should he do?

He could not possibly give up on this soul ring, could he?

It was such a rare soul ring!

Just as Yuan Luo was thinking, the Blue Silver Grass attacked again. Around twenty tentacles converged on him from all directions.

They formed an encirclement, waiting for Yuan Luo to walk into the trap.

Of course, if Yuan Luo refused to take the bait, he would catch him himself.

The Golden Blade in his hand slashed twice again.

The two blade auras formed a cross, cutting through a section of the Blue Silver Grass.

But immediately afterward, the shattered Blue Silver Grass rapidly multiplied and grew, filling in the missing section.

Seeing this, Yuan Luo quickly leaped away from the encirclement. If the Blue Silver Grass bound him, his life would be forfeit.

At that moment, Yuan Luo remembered his Second Spirit.

His Second Spirit was far sharper than his Golden Blade, truly thin as a cicada's wing.

He quickly sprang backward, leaving the Blue Silver Grass's attack range.

With Soul Power activated in his left hand, a pitch-black Six-Pointed Star Dart appeared.

Yuan Luo lightly touched it, yet his finger was cut with a small wound.

His physique was now exceptionally strong. Even some Soul Ancestors were not as formidable as he was, and his defense was also high—yet he had been injured by his own spirit.

It seemed that his Second Spirit had been born for killing.

At that thought, Yuan Luo's gaze turned fierce.

Seizing the right moment, he poured most of his Soul Power into the dart. He kept the remaining Soul Power for escape; he had to leave himself a way out.

"Let's test its power!"

Yuan Luo spun around, using the momentum to hurl the Six-Pointed Star Dart straight out.

The dart's flight could not be seen with the naked eye.

One could only sense fine threads of wind ending lives.

"Pfft!"

The dart spun through the air, slicing through patch after patch of air.

Several black Space Fissures visibly formed, then vanished into the air.

The entire process took no more than half a second.

The Blue Silver Grass seemed to sense the threat, and Blue Silver Grass rose up all around.

But by then, the dart had already passed through its body, smashing through the Blue Silver Grass barrier behind it.

The Blue Silver Grass barrier seemed to lose all support, collapsing to the ground and beginning to wither.

Soon, the towering body of Blue Silver Grass at the center fell. The section near the ground had been cleanly severed, cutting off the Blue Silver Grass's connection to the earth.

The cut was smoother than a girl's skin.

Soon, a purple Soul Ring rose from its roots, and a massive field of Soul Power appeared around it, as though mourning the Blue Silver Grass.

"So powerful!"

The dart had already returned to Yuan Luo's hand. Staring at it, Yuan Luo fell into thought.

He should have used this spirit from the beginning.

No!

Thankfully, he had not used this spirit.

On Douluo Continent, spirits all manifested on the right hand. If he used a left-hand spirit, it might arouse suspicion from some people, and that would be unsafe.

That would be completely at odds with Yuan Luo's slacker title.

He immediately sat cross-legged and began absorbing the Soul Ring.

This place was rarely visited, so he did not need to worry about any Soul Beasts disturbing him.

As the Soul Ring entered his body, it was not as easy to absorb as the previous one. Yuan Luo had originally planned to absorb one just over a thousand years old.

But who would spit out something that had already reached their mouth when there was a more suitable Soul Ring here?

After half an hour, Yuan Luo exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly stood up.

This Soul Ring made Yuan Luo look even more vibrant, his entire body brimming with the aura of life.

As expected of a Blue Silver Grass Soul Ring.

At this moment, two Soul Rings appeared around Yuan Luo—one yellow and one purple.

If other soul masters saw this, they would surely be shocked.

Because throughout history, no one had ever possessed such a Soul Ring combination. Those who had tried had long since been buried beneath the soil.

If others learned of Yuan Luo's Soul Rings, his enemies would likely stop at nothing to kill him.
