First Life Sublimation!

Based on the information recorded in his mother's notes and the number of patterns on the petals, Tang San quickly found a thousand-year-old Flower of Life.

Moreover, it was the oldest one around the lake.

The Flower of Life possessed no offensive abilities.

However, a powerful Soul Beast guarded it.

But now, the appearance of Titled Douluo Tang Hao had clearly frightened the guardian Soul Beast. It had hidden far away and didn't dare come out.

Tang San took out a knife and cut through its main stem, leaving the roots behind. He didn't eradicate it completely. Plant Soul Beasts possessed extremely tenacious vitality; as long as their roots remained, they could continue growing and survive.

Buzz!

The next second, a purple Soul Ring appeared in front of Tang San and Tang Hao.

"Little San, go."

"I'll guard you."

Tang Hao reached out and patted Tang San on the shoulder, his breathing growing somewhat heavy.

Absorbing a thousand-year Soul Ring as his first Soul Ring.

On the entire continent, Tang San was truly the first person to do something so insane.

Once he succeeded, he would become the only one on the continent.

If he failed, Tang Hao would stop him.

With a Titled Douluo like him present, there wouldn't be much of a problem.

At worst, Tang San could absorb a nine-hundred-year one later.

"Mm."

Tang San nodded, walked forward, and sat down cross-legged.

He summoned the Blue Silver Grass and guided the Soul Ring into his body.

Closing his eyes, he began refining it.

Unlike the painful absorption process in the Original Work,

The thousand-year Soul Ring of the Flower of Life did not unleash any violent energy impact. Instead, it brought the sensation of being submerged.

It was as if his entire body had suddenly been immersed in a warm, viscous sea of light brimming with vitality.

The enormous Life Energy did not tear apart his meridians. Instead, it seeped into his body through every opening like countless gentle yet unyielding streams.

Every cell in his body let out a thirsty cheer at that instant.

Wherever the Life Energy passed, the walls of his meridians were gently widened and reinforced, taking on a warm and moist luster like white jade.

The minute impurities accumulated in his body, as well as the barely perceptible injuries that had built up over the past three months, were washed out by this pure Life Force like a tide. They were expelled through his pores, forming a layer of gray-black grime.

His bones itched faintly, as if new strength were sprouting within them.

His muscle fibers grew denser and more elastic. His internal organs were wrapped and nourished by the rich Life Force, beating with greater strength.

The most obvious sensation was that his recovery ability had been terrifyingly enhanced. A shallow wound might heal within seconds at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This body was transforming from "common iron" into "refined gold."

Within the world of his spiritual Sea of Consciousness, the originally chaotic scene was illuminated by a gentle blue-gold radiance.

His soul seemed to have broken free from the restraints of his body, continuously rising and expanding.

He "saw" the flow of Life Force within the surrounding trees, like streams of light.

He also "heard" the faint sound of seeds breaking through their shells beneath the earth.

At the very core of the energy, he touched a faint trace of the Life Rule contained within the Flower of Life.

It was not any kind of text or language, but a pure thought.

About growth, about cycles, about nourishment, about resonance.

This imprint was like a seed, deeply buried in the depths of his soul, waiting to take root and sprout as he grew in the future.

Of course, transformation was not entirely pleasant.

When his perception was amplified to its limit, the life auras of withering, decay, and suffering in the environment also poured into his senses.

The intense impact brought about by this contrast between life and death was like the interweaving of ice and fire. It was a tremendous test of his mental resilience and allowed him to understand the entirety of life more deeply.

At the same time, the swaying Blue Silver Grass phantom behind him began to undergo a drastic change.

The grass stem thickened at a speed visible to the naked eye and grew crystalline, as if carved from jade.

Within the leaf veins, a milky-white life radiance began to flow, causing the entire plant to radiate a sacred yet restrained glow.

At the deepest point of the energy, the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul core within Tang San—the supreme bloodline belonging to the Blue Silver Emperor—was stirred by this same-origin Life Rule power.

It did not awaken, but it was like a sleeping giant dragon turning over in its dream for the first time.

An imperceptible yet extremely high-ranked majesty and affinity began to spread from the depths of the Martial Soul.

The evolving Blue Silver Grass phantom swayed gently, establishing clear connections with every plant around it.

The surrounding Blue Silver Grass plants bowed one after another, like subjects paying homage to an uncrowned king.

The other plants also conveyed emotions of friendliness and attachment.

His Martial Soul was transforming from an independent individual into the central node of a plant network.

Father Tang Hao, who had been guarding nearby, was also stunned when he saw the changes in Tang San's body, the changes in the Blue Silver Grass, and the behavior of the surrounding plants.

"The Blue Silver Grass is undergoing sublimation."

"Little San's body has also grown many times stronger. That Emperor's aura is beginning to appear..."

"Looks like absorbing the thousand-year Flower of Life and taking the path of Extreme Life sublimation was completely correct."

"Ah Yin, it's Ah Yin's shadow!"

Tang Hao was incomparably excited. He murmured, staring unblinkingly at Tang San.

Tang San's changes gradually stabilized as time passed.

An incense stick later.

When the final trace of energy merged into his body, all the phenomena gradually subsided.

Tang San opened his eyes, and the world was completely different.

A faint Purple Light flashed deep within his eyes.

His vision had grown farther and clearer.

The energy particles floating in the air, the breathing of Animal Spirit Beasts and Plant Soul Beasts in the distance, the joy of the grass beneath his feet... Countless pieces of information poured into his mind, yet his strengthened soul processed them in an orderly fashion.

He raised his hand and summoned the Blue Silver Grass.

It still looked like a single blade of grass, but anyone could sense the immense and pure Life Force contained within it.

It was no longer ordinary. It was a prelude to a miracle, a road leading toward the Life Origin that had already begun.

This absorption had laid a foundation for his future Emperor awakening—one that was perfect to the extreme.

Buzz!

A Soul Ring representing a purple thousand-year Soul Ring slowly floated up from the roots of the Blue Silver Grass.

Tang San's First Soul Skill was called Life Perception.

After activating the Soul Skill, its effects were as follows:

Microscopic observation, emotional resonance, energy trajectory prediction, and a wide range of coverage.

This Soul Skill combined reconnaissance, treasure appraisal, mind-reading, and prediction into one.

It was a skill with astonishingly powerful and expansive potential for development.

The future was promising.

Its ability to sense Heaven's Materials and Earth's Treasures was especially powerful.

As the Soul Ring finished being absorbed, the Soul Power that had been sealed for three months was released all at once, causing his Soul Power Level to soar directly from Level Ten to Level Fifteen!

Tang Hao naturally sensed it as well, and his eyes shone brightly.

"Little San, how do you feel?" he immediately asked.

He seemed even more impatient than Tang San to find out.

Tang San slowly stood up.

He had grown taller.

He was now roughly one meter thirty tall.

The vigorous and pure Life Force also promoted the growth and development of his bones.

That was quite good.
