Ten Thousand Year Azure Tree King, Wood Attribute Third Soul Ring

Time passed quickly.

Southern end of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Ye Chen and Mu En appeared here. The Azure Tree's habitat lay in the far southern reaches of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The trees at the southern end of the Star Dou Great Forest were even taller and sturdier than those in other regions. Even the wind that swept through them carried the aura of the Wood Attribute.

Such an environment could indeed nurture plant system Soul Beasts with higher bloodlines.

Mu En breathed in the fresh air around him, as though it reminded him of something, and muttered to himself.

"This scent of green leaves... it has been a long time since I came to a place like this."

After reminiscing for a while, Mu En woke from his memories and refocused his attention on the Soul Beasts around them.

Using Soul Power to carry Ye Chen, Mu En swiftly moved through the vast forest.

Given his cultivation and physical condition, Di Tian was the only one in the Star Dou Great Forest capable of threatening his life. Even the other Ten Great Ferocious Beasts could do nothing to Mu En.

As Mu En carried Ye Chen through the air at high speed, he explained information about Azure Tree Soul Beasts to him.

"The Wood Attribute Soul Power of Azure Trees is exceptionally pure. They form a special 'field' around themselves. Once ordinary Soul Beasts enter that field, their entire bodies take on a pale cyan hue."

"We only need to look for those signs to find an Azure Tree. And the older the Azure Tree, the larger its field."

Before he had even finished speaking, Mu En pointed toward a patch of vines below them.

"Little Chen, those vines have been affected by the field emitted by an Azure Tree. But that is not the Soul Beast we are looking for."

"This field is too small. The field of a Ten Thousand Year Azure Tree King can cover a radius of one hundred meters."

Watching the scenery below shift in an instant and seeing Mu En's tall figure beside him, Ye Chen could not help but sigh.

"This is so easy. Coming to the Star Dou Great Forest with Mu En is so easy. It feels like I only need to lie down and let Mu En handle everything."

Comparing the process of obtaining his Second Soul Ring with that of acquiring his Third Soul Ring, Ye Chen felt they were worlds apart. Now, all he had to do was wait for Mu En to place that Azure Tree King right in his mouth.

It was nothing like obtaining his Second Soul Ring, when danger had lurked at every moment. If the Heavenly Dao Emperor had not fought for him then, he would have died in the jaws of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.

"We're here."

Mu En looked toward a figure in a clearing not far away. It was a towering tree nearly forty meters tall, its trunk so thick that three people would have needed to wrap their arms around it.

The tree's bark gleamed brightly. Its diamond-shaped leaves swayed gently in the breeze, and golden patterns adorned the edges of every leaf, giving it a noble air.

Mu En examined the Azure Tree and spoke to Ye Chen behind him.

"Little Chen, this is the one."

"This Azure Tree King is around twelve thousand years old. It is very suitable for your Third Soul Ring."

Hearing Mu En's words, Ye Chen turned his gaze toward the forty-meter-tall tree king, excitement flashing through his eyes.

Mu En openly brought Ye Chen before the Azure Tree King.

Before the Azure Tree King, Ye Chen and Mu En looked incomparably small. Yet in the Azure Tree King's perception, Mu En was like a massive walking powder keg.

The Azure Tree King's first thought upon seeing Mu En was to flee, to get as far away from this human as possible.

But if Mu En, a Limit Douluo, allowed a mere ten-thousand-year Soul Beast to escape right before his eyes, it would be utterly laughable.

The instant the Azure Tree King tried to flee, Mu En's gentle Light Soul Power descended upon the massive tree king like a raging storm.

As Mu En's Light Soul Power continuously tightened, the Azure Tree King was trapped in place, unable to move any longer.

Mu En extended his right hand and lightly clenched it. His Light Soul Power became like the sharpest blade, and in an instant, the Azure Tree King was riddled with holes.

Watching Mu En display his might from the side, Ye Chen's eyes filled with envy. When would he be able to kill ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts as easily as slaughtering chickens, just like Mu En?

After pinning the Azure Tree King in place, Mu En spoke to Ye Chen behind him.

"Little Chen, summon your Martial Soul and give it the final blow."

Hearing this, Ye Chen summoned his Martial Soul, the Emperor Aurora Sword. The moment the Aurora Sword appeared, the surrounding Power of Light surged toward Ye Chen's Martial Soul.

"First Soul Skill, Emperor Aurora Slash!"

Ye Chen shouted, and a brilliant golden radiance immediately swept forth from the Aurora Sword.

The sword light charged at the Azure Tree King with unstoppable force, completely killing it.

After a while, a pale black Soul Ring floated up from the Azure Tree King's body.

Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes, drawing the pale black Soul Ring toward himself. Mu En watched from the side, guarding him.

The pale black Soul Ring was drawn onto Ye Chen's body, and Ye Chen began refining the energy within it.

The process of absorbing a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring caused spiritual tremors, which struck at a Soul Master's mind.

Only those whose Spiritual Power had reached a sufficient level could avoid the spiritual tremors of a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring.

Ye Chen's Spiritual Power had happened to reach that level, so during the process of absorbing the ten-thousand-year Soul Ring,

Although the spiritual tremors were still present, Ye Chen gritted his teeth and endured them.

Several hours later.

Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes. Looking at the pale black Soul Ring on his body, a familiar scene once again unfolded before his eyes.

At the same time, this scene also aroused Mu En's curiosity and shock.

Ye Chen's Emperor Aurora Martial Soul emerged from his body without his control. Then, the pale black Soul Ring moved from Ye Chen's body onto the Aurora Sword.

Before long, the pale black color gradually transformed into a bright gold Soul Ring, looking exceptionally impressive.

Mu En watched the entire process of Ye Chen's Soul Ring transformation. Though he had observed it with complete focus, he still could not discern the slightest secret.

"Ah, Little Chen, your Martial Soul is truly marvelous."

"I watched the entire process carefully just now, yet I could not uncover even a trace of its secret."

Mu En sighed to Ye Chen, but he was also delighted.

The more mysterious and unfathomable Ye Chen's Martial Soul was, the more excited and proud he felt.

Ye Chen was not the least bit surprised to hear Mu En say this. Even if the Emperor Aurora Sword were placed before those God Kings above, they would be completely baffled.

Let alone Mu En, who had not even reached God Rank. Though he stood at the limit of the human world, he was still far, far too distant from the Emperor's level.

"Little Chen, has your Martial Soul gained a third Extreme Attribute?"

Seeing that Ye Chen had finished absorbing the ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, Mu En recalled Ye Chen's earlier speculation and asked him.

Ye Chen looked at Mu En with delight on his face. Holding the Emperor Aurora Sword in his right hand, he slowly activated his Soul Power.
