Fourth Spirit Skill: Earth Vein Connection, Level 47 Soul Ancestor Ye Yu Reporting In!

"Grandpa! Let's go with this Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma!"

"It's exactly twenty thousand years old—perfect!"

Not far away stood an Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma rooted at the mouth of a mountain. Its entire body was purple and translucent like jade. Though originally a ganoderma, it had grown as lush and massive as a giant tree, radiating dazzling violet light.

At last, they had found a Plant Spirit Beast whose attributes, cultivation age, and strength all perfectly met their requirements.

Ye Yu was both delighted and excited.

"Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, possess me!"

Once Ye Yu had chosen his target,

Dugu Bo immediately appeared and summoned the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul to possess him. Then, just as he had done against the Thunderclap Netherworld Vine, he opened with his Eighth Spirit Skill: Time Freeze!

After immobilizing the Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma and preventing it from fleeing,

the next moment, a cry of "Shatter!" severely wounded the Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma!

Immediately afterward, Dugu Bo unleashed his First Spirit Skill: Jade Phosphorous Poison Fire, Third Spirit Skill: Corrosive Black Witch Snake, and Fifth Spirit Skill: Jade Phosphorous Poison Array.

First, he used poison fire to burn away all the Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma's earth vein roots that connected it to the ground, weakening its regenerative ability.

Then, with the Third Spirit Skill: Corrosive Black Witch Snake and the Fifth Spirit Skill: Jade Phosphorous Poison Array, he steadily wore down the Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma's life force until it had only its last breath remaining.

Next, it was Ye Yu's turn.

Now that he finally possessed a powerful offensive spirit skill,

Ye Yu decided to upgrade his arsenal and retire Dagger Bro and Stone Bro.

He would use the Tribulation Ascension spirit skill

to kill the Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma.

After summoning the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine,

Ye Yu let out a low shout and instantly activated his spirit skill.

"Third Spirit Skill: Tribulation Ascension!"

For a moment, as the third Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring circling his body lit up,

rolling black storm clouds suddenly gathered in the sky.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared within the clouds.

On the ground, Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vines burst from beneath the earth. Each was as crystal-clear as blue crystal, filled with golden threads and specks of starlight.

Their exteriors were wrapped in icy-blue and crimson patterns, along with dark-purple lightning patterns. As they released dark-purple electric radiance,

they swayed through the air like lightning rods.

The next instant, countless bolts of lightning abruptly tore through the heavens. Like roaring silver serpents, they were drawn down from the black storm clouds above and continuously struck the Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma below.

By then, the tree-like Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma had already collapsed onto the ground.

Its stalk had been shattered and severed by Time Freeze, its surface covered in pitted craters corroded by the Corrosive Black Witch Snake.

It was also blackened from the Jade Phosphorous Poison Fire.

Yet even so, when faced with the lightning drawn down by the Tribulation Ascension spirit skill,

Ye Yu was shocked to discover

that after bolt upon bolt struck the Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma,

a considerable portion of the Power of Lightning was actually redirected into the ground.

However, since it had only one last breath left,

the Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma was still quickly struck dead beneath the bombardment of countless lightning bolts.

Masses of black light particles continuously scattered from the Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma's "corpse," gathering above it into a black soul ring.

If this twenty-thousand-year Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma hadn't been severely wounded by Grandpa,

the lightning drawn down by my Tribulation Ascension spirit skill probably wouldn't have dealt it much damage at all!

Ye Yu thought to himself.

After killing the Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma,

Ye Yu stepped forward, walked to its "corpse," sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes.

He once again circulated the Inner Elixir Method and began cultivating.

As Soul Power circulated through his body,

the Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma's soul ring was immediately drawn over and settled around Ye Yu.

The next moment, an incomparably vast surge of Soul Power flooded violently into Ye Yu's body.

Along with it came the soul shock belonging to a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beast.

However, as a Plant Spirit Beast, the Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma was weak in both intellect and Spiritual Power, and the soul shock it produced was likewise limited.

For Ye Yu, who cultivated the Inner Elixir Method and had tempered and strengthened his Spiritual Power,

it was not difficult to endure.

Still, although his body had already been tempered and strengthened when he absorbed the Thunderclap Netherworld Vine's soul ring,

the immense Soul Power released by this twenty-thousand-year Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma soul ring

remained no small challenge for Ye Yu.

Facing the immense Soul Power released by the twenty-thousand-year Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma soul ring,

Ye Yu still felt intense swelling pain and stabbing pain throughout his body and meridians.

But because the Soul Power released by the Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma soul ring was still far gentler than that released by the Thunderclap Netherworld Vine's soul ring,

this time, Ye Yu's skin did not repeatedly split open in wounds and seep crimson blood.

With his body's powerful regenerative ability,

the process of absorbing the Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma soul ring had completely become a tempering process that strengthened his body.

After absorbing the twenty-thousand-year Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma soul ring, Ye Yu's physical constitution improved considerably once more.

After successfully absorbing the Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma's soul ring,

Ye Yu slowly opened his eyes and rose to his feet.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo walked over, stroking the silver beard beneath his chin. A satisfied smile hung on his sinister face as he said,

"Little Yu, let's see what spirit skill this Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma soul ring gave you!"

"Alright!"

Ye Yu was also full of anticipation. He summoned the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine once again.

After absorbing the Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma,

the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine had visibly become thicker.

A gorgeous violet hue had been added to its originally translucent silvery-blue color, which had been close to starry-sky blue.

The long, narrow leaves growing from it had become thicker and fleshier, like the flesh of a ganoderma.

Beyond that, Ye Yu could also sense that the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine's vitality had become even more tenacious.

After conducting some tests,

Ye Yu discovered that the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine had actually inherited some of the Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma's traits.

Even without activating a spirit skill, its roots, stems, and leaves could independently grow into new individuals after falling off.

Its vitality had become even more tenacious!

After testing the Fourth Spirit Skill,

Ye Yu named it: Earth Vein Connection!

Its effect was to absorb the power of the earth and convert it into Soul Power and life force, accelerating the Martial Soul's growth and recovery.

At the same time, it could also feed Soul Power back into Ye Yu's body,

increasing the speed of Ye Yu's Soul Power recovery.

While Earth Vein Connection was active,

the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine could also connect as one with the earth, redirecting the damage it received into the ground and reducing the harm it suffered.

Especially damage with lightning attributes!

After Ye Yu successfully absorbed the Earth Vein Purple Ganoderma's soul ring,

Dugu Bo took out another crystal testing orb and handed it to Ye Yu,

telling him to test his Soul Power.

But this time, after Ye Yu placed his right hand on the crystal orb,

the next instant, the orb merely erupted with dazzling light.

Judging from the intensity of the light, this should be level forty-seven Soul Power.

"A level forty-seven Soul Ancestor?"

Dugu Bo could not help muttering to himself, feeling somewhat regretful.

If only he had risen another three levels and reached level fifty.

A thirteen-year-old Soul King would have been absolutely unparalleled in the world!

Still, a thirteen-year-old level forty-seven Soul Ancestor was already monstrous enough.

They had come to the Star Dou Great Forest and spent several months there.

He had consecutively hunted four soul rings!

He had gone straight from a level-ten insignificant nobody to a level-forty-seven Soul Ancestor!

Fully satisfied, Ye Yu followed Dugu Bo as they prepared to return to Heaven Dou Imperial City.

However, the number of soul rings on the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Vine and their heaven-defying configuration could not be revealed.

Otherwise, it would easily invite unnecessary trouble and danger!

So along the way, Ye Yu kept exploring

how to use the Blue Silver Domain to disguise the colors and number of his soul rings while concealing his aura.

Perhaps it was due to talent.

Or perhaps the Inner Elixir Method's strengthening of his Spiritual Power had provided considerable help as well.

Before long, Ye Yu figured it out.

He learned how to use the Blue Silver Domain to disguise the colors and number of his soul rings while hiding his aura.

In the novel, Tang San consumed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot to undergo Ice Fire Body Tempering, but his cultivation did not improve.

If you only count fusing with the Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone, consuming the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo Shoot, and absorbing soul rings beyond his limit, then jumping directly from level ten to level forty-seven should be fairly reasonable, right?
