Bloodline Soul Ring, Snow Empress's Kiss

Blue Silver Emperor Valley,

The Blue Silver Emperor's sacrifice had also reached its final step.

As an ethereal chime rang out, the cracks in the red soul ring gradually healed.

At the same time,

The Blue Silver Grass in Zi Yao's hands changed as well.

Although this was the soul ring of a life Martial Soul, it had enhanced his bloodline after all, so it affected both Martial Souls.

The veins of the Blue Silver Grass took on a faint blue-gold sheen, its leaves became more slender, and tiny arcs of lightning coiled around its body, crackling with a "zzt zzt" sound.

Just then,

The Life Origin merged with the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline and underwent a mutation. Brown-gold Soul Power flowed into the soul ring, causing the red soul ring to mutate as brown-gold runes lit up across it.

"What's going on?"

Zi Yao asked in confusion.

The Blue Silver Emperor's soul was still present, and excitement colored her voice.

"Master, after merging with you, your Life Origin replenished the deficit in my original Life Origin. I am now a true Blue Silver Emperor with an Emperor Grade Bloodline!"

Zi Yao was somewhat surprised.

But on second thought, it made sense. A Blue Silver Emperor that had cultivated for one hundred ninety thousand years was already exceedingly rare, and her own qualifications had been enough for her to advance to the Emperor Grade.

If Ah Yin had not left behind an Emperor Grade Bloodline before departing, she would not have ended up in such a miserable state.

His Life Origin came from the Ancient Life Tree. Using it to replenish a Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline was rather wasteful.

"Now that I possess a true Emperor Grade Bloodline, I can finally command all the Blue Silver Grass across the continent!"

The Blue Silver Emperor declared confidently.

She was now a true sovereign of the Blue Silver Emperors, rather than one who had attained that position solely through cultivation.

Having said that,

All the Blue Silver Grass in Blue Silver Emperor Valley swayed their bodies. Even the Blue Silver Grass throughout the entire Douluo Continent began to sway in celebration of their new king's birth.

Clusters of insignificant blue light gathered in Blue Silver Emperor Valley and poured into the red Blue Silver Emperor Soul Ring.

Gradually,

The red soul ring faded, turning blue-orange. Mysterious brown-gold runes surfaced within it, and its aura surged dramatically.

"You broke through to two hundred thousand years in the middle of this?"

The watching Ice Empress spoke in surprise.

Across the entire continent, two-hundred-thousand-year Beasts could be counted on one's fingers.

The Blue Silver Emperor answered with a faint smile, "That's right. After becoming a true Blue Silver Emperor, I became the sovereign of all Blue Silver Grass on the continent. With their help, I broke through the final barrier and reached the two-hundred-thousand-year threshold."

"Barely acceptable."

Snow Empress nodded indifferently.

Only then was she worthy of growing alongside Xiao Yao. She could be considered a Beast of respectable size now.

"Enough. Suppress the soul ring. If your energy leaks into my body, I'll explode on the spot."

Zi Yao said.

"Yes, Master."

The Blue Silver Emperor obeyed. The miraculous blue-orange soul ring gradually lost its radiance.

It changed from blue-orange to red, then black, purple, and finally became a yellow hundred-year soul ring. Yet the brown-gold patterns on it could not be altered, making it appear far more extraordinary than an ordinary hundred-year soul ring.

Zi Yao did not find that regrettable.

This soul ring would grow stronger along with him anyway. Its yellow color was only temporary.

He raised his hands.

A luminous blue Blue Silver Grass sprouted from each of his palms, and blue light flashed.

At the same time, the power of Destructive Life seemed to find a place to reside and burrowed into the Blue Silver Grass.

The Blue Silver Grass in his left hand gained many brown-gold patterns and brimmed with dense life force.

Meanwhile, the Blue Silver Grass in his right hand had all its branches and leaves turn black-purple, while its patterns became dark red, constantly radiating a terrifying power of annihilation.

He knew it.

The Blue Silver Emperor was only a temporary vessel for Destructive Life. His true Martial Soul was still Destructive Life.

If he ever needed to, he could withdraw the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline back into the soul ring. The soul ring he had absorbed would not be affected, though the two Origin Powers might clash again.

In other words,

The Blue Silver Emperor had merely helped him, an outsider, condense a necessity for cultivation in this plane. But that necessity was dispensable when it came to becoming a Deity.

At the same time,

Two soul skills flooded into his mind.

The Blue Silver Emperor Soul Ring had granted him two soul skills.

The first was Heavenly Thunder Spirit, transformed from the Blue Silver Emperor's own Thunder Spirit Power. Within Blue Silver Grass, it could summon Heavenly Thunder to attack.

The second was Emperor's Domain, namely the Blue Silver Domain. However, with the Blue Silver Emperor's soul present, his domain had completely inherited the Blue Silver Emperor's abilities. It was essentially the max version of the Blue Silver Domain.

After the soul ring sacrifice was complete,

A blue-gold left leg soul bone appeared in his hand.

"A two-hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone... Hmm, I'll keep it for now."

He placed the soul bone into the bag he carried with him.

A two-hundred-thousand-year soul bone had actually met his standards, since there were only a few two-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts on the entire continent.

But he already possessed a Blue Silver natal soul ring that grew stronger alongside him, so there was no need to keep supplementing his Blue Silver bloodline.

Furthermore, the Blue Silver Emperor's abilities had already been inherited through Emperor's Domain. Any new soul skill would only be some useless ability like flight. It would be better to keep it and see whether he could use it to nurture a few geniuses.

He intended to gather a group of geniuses and ascend to the God Realm with them.

There were many geniuses in Douluo Dalu Season 2. Even a supporting character from there would have been a heaven-blessed prodigy in Douluo Dalu Season 1.

If not for the lack of divine positions in the God Realm,

These people should, in theory, all have been qualified to inherit or establish a Deity.

That was also why the God of Destruction had been so determined to expand the God Realm. Watching geniuses who could have become a living force for the God Realm wither away, he naturally hoped to expand the God Realm and increase its strength.

A young married woman's soul form emerged from the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Ring and gracefully bowed to Zi Yao. "Greetings, Master."

"Rise. From now on, your name will be A Lan."

Zi Yao said with a wave of his hand.

"Xiao Yao, was what you said earlier true? If we become your Soul Spirits, can we really become gods with you?"

Ice Empress asked.

This doubt had long been bottled up in her heart. She could not help asking once the Blue Silver Emperor had finished her sacrifice.

"That's right. Soul Spirits with souls are a part of my body. If I ascend and become a Deity, the Soul Spirits will naturally gain immortality as well."

Zi Yao answered candidly.

Snow Empress and Ice Empress both hesitated to speak.

With the promise of a mysterious Deity, they might be able to live a little longer. Yet even then, they would still be unable to escape the danger of the Heavenly Tribulation.

If what Zi Yao said was true,

How should they choose?

Zi Yao saw the two women's hesitation and smiled lightly. "It's fine, Sister Bing'er, Sister Xue'er. Once I become a Deity, I can bring you into the God Realm too."

"Really?"

Ice Empress's beautiful eyes widened.

"Mm. Those who ascend to become Deities are allowed to bring others into the God Realm." Zi Yao nodded.

"Little Yao Yao, I really didn't spoil you for nothing. Come, let big sister give you a kiss."

Ice Empress had barely pecked Zi Yao's forehead when a mysterious large hand lifted her up.

She turned around,

Only to find Snow Empress staring at her coldly. Her hairs instantly stood on end.

Yet Snow Empress said nothing. She walked straight to Zi Yao's side, swept her beautiful hair behind her ear, bent down, and pressed her lips to his right cheek. Her cherry-red lips were soft as cotton.

"Thank you, Xiao Yao."

Zi Yao froze for a moment and touched the dampness on his cheek.

He knew Snow Empress had always cared deeply for him.

But ordinarily, at most, she would only hug him. She had never made such an intimate gesture before.

Ice Empress looked even more adorably stunned.

Her eyes shifted between Snow Empress and Zi Yao, and for a moment, she did not know which one she ought to be jealous of.

Snow Empress straightened up. Her beautiful eyes wandered uncertainly, and a faint blush spread across her fair skin.

She had not expected herself to do such a thing either.

Mainly because seeing Ice Empress kiss Xiao Yao had stirred up her intense possessiveness. To assert her claim, she had muddle-headedly kissed him.

"Since the matter of the soul ring has been settled, should we return to the Extreme North Ice Plain..."

To avoid the awkwardness, she forced herself to speak calmly.

Only then did Zi Yao slowly recover from his shock. He took out a map and said,

"No. I've also prepared a grand gift for the two of you, Sisters."
