Formation and Absorption

A Soul Ring can form when a soul beast dies. The defeated Evil Eye Tyrant leaves behind a dense yellow ring after silver-white spiritual power rises from its corpse. The ring then fuses with the recipient's Martial Soul through guided Soul Power. 5

The age a Soul Master can safely absorb depends primarily on their Physical Strength and Spiritual Power; willpower is also necessary to endure a ring's initial impact and the remnant will of its source beast. The Sun Moon Empire develops physical-strength testing instruments and publishes research intended to help Soul Masters determine their absorption limits. 5

• Soul Masters traditionally require a new Soul Ring every ten ranks of cultivation. 224
• A ring can contain violent energy, spiritual pressure, and the lingering resentment of the soul beast that produced it. 5 91 117
• Powerful rings may greatly increase Soul Power after absorption, though their energy can also be directed toward Martial Soul evolution. 91
• A slain soul beast may produce a Soul Bone in addition to a Soul Ring, but this is not guaranteed. 5

Appearance

Soul Rings typically manifest as halos beneath or around a Soul Master's body. Their color, patterns, and aura reflect their age, source, attributes, or unusual method of creation.

Functions

Soul Skill Acquisition

Soul Rings grant soul skills associated with their source soul beast or their special method of formation.

• Mental Power Field — Xu Tianyang's Evil Eye Tyrant ring provides a large-scale spiritual crowd-control skill. 48
• Dragon Whale Chant — His Dragon Pattern Whale ring enhances allies' attributes by thirty percent and gives their next attack burning and explosive properties. 48
• Mental Sharing and Mental Purification — Sky Dream Ice Silkworm grants shared perception and purification of negative effects through True Sun Fire. 48
• Yin Yang Evil God Thunder — The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger ring gives Xu Tianyang an attack capable of contending with a Titled Douluo. 91
• Ice Empress's signature skills — Ice Emperor's Pincer, Ice Emperor's Protection, Eternal Frozen Domain, and Ice Emperor's Wrath are gained through Ice Empress's Soul Spirit contract. 105

Ring Enhancement and Concealment

Soul Ring age is not always fixed after formation. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm raises Xu Tianyang's first four rings to fifty thousand years and deliberately conceals the first two rings' increased age to avoid exposing the ability. 48 91

Dragon King Rings

The Dragon King Soul Rings differ from ordinary rings. Rather than granting standard soul skills, the Water and Fire Dragon Kings' rings allow Xu Tianyang to access the laws of water and fire; their eventual effectiveness depends on his own comprehension. 83 84

Soul Spirits

Soul Spirits are an alternative form of Soul Ring created through a spiritual contract between a human and a soul beast.

• A Soul Spirit can provide multiple Soul Rings, retain the soul beast's consciousness, and assist its Soul Master in battle. 193 223
• One Soul Spirit can provide up to four Soul Rings, reducing the number of soul-beast hunts a Soul Master must undertake. 193
• The contract exchanges the origins of both parties: the Soul Master gains rings and potentially Soul Bones, while the soul beast gains access to the human's talent and can better develop its potential. 224
• When its human partner dies, a Soul Spirit can form a contract with another human, potentially allowing it to continue living. 193
• The system carries a long-term risk: Soul Spirits may become commodities, leaving soul beasts imprisoned in human bodies and accelerating their decline. 193

History

Xu Tianyang's first Soul Ring demonstrates the Sun Moon Empire's more systematic approach to ring absorption. Despite the lack of precedent for a first ring of six hundred years from a Super Soul Beast, his exceptional Spiritual Power, physical strength, and resolve allow him to complete the fusion safely. 5

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm later becomes the first intelligent Soul Ring, establishing the precedent for the Soul Spirit system. Xu Tianyang subsequently uses Soul Spirit contracts and public demonstrations to present the system as a cooperative alternative to repeated soul-beast hunting. 48 193 223 224

The concept reaches increasingly exceptional forms through Dragon King-condensed rings, the Million Year Snow Empress ring, Xu Tianyang's self-condensed golden ninth ring, and the eventual fusion of eighteen rings into a Seven-Colored Soul Ring. 83 174 259 264

Story Role / Major Arcs

• The Evil Eye Tyrant's ring establishes Xu Tianyang's cultivation path and demonstrates that conventional Soul Ring absorption limits can be exceeded through sufficient physical and spiritual foundations. 5
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's transformation into an intelligent ring introduces the possibility that soul beasts can coexist with, rather than merely be killed by, Soul Masters. 48
• The Fire and Water Dragon Kings invest their remaining power in Xu Tianyang by condensing rings for his Purple Blazing Heaven Dragon. 83
• Xu Tianyang publicly reveals Soul Spirits after the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Academy wins the Soul Master Tournament, forcing the continent's major factions to confront a new Soul Master system. 223 224
• His self-condensed ninth ring gives Di Tian and Gu Yuena hope that he may alter the fate of soul beasts. 259

Trivia

• The Evil Eye Tyrant's unique soul crystal can only be produced by individuals that have lived for at least ten thousand years; Xu Tianyang's six-hundred-year target does not produce one. 5
• The main color of Million Year Soul Rings is gold, but their outer halo can vary according to the source soul beast's attributes and abilities. 174
• A Soul Ring can be actively condensed by ancient dragon souls or by Xu Tianyang himself, rather than forming only through the death of a soul beast. 83 259
