Absolute Life Enhancement! Target: Man Faced Demon Spider

After killing the Ink Jade Bamboo, Chu Chen first cultivated through the Blue Silver Emperor to bring himself into peak condition. Then, he communicated with the surrounding Blue Silver Grass, forming a special network of connections between them.

This way, if anything changed, Chu Chen would sense it immediately. Once he had confirmed that everything was in order, he condensed the Blue Silver Emperor in his hand and began absorbing the Ink Jade Bamboo's Spirit Ring.

With his current physical constitution, even absorbing an eighteen-thousand-year Ink Jade Bamboo as his Fourth Spirit Ring would not pose much of a problem!

"My body has long been nourished by the Blue Silver Emperor's surging vitality, condensing endless blood and vigor. It is more than enough to bear this Spirit Ring!"

Chu Chen was extremely confident. Layers of Blue Silver Emperor wrapped around him as he began the long process of absorbing the Spirit Ring.

The Ink Jade Bamboo's Spirit Ring was clearly an exceptional match for the Blue Silver Emperor.

Thus, even during the fusion process, there were no signs of rejection. However, absorbing such immense energy was bound to take quite some time...

Three hours passed.

The Blue Silver Emperor quietly grew, completing another evolution. It became even tougher, while golden Natural Texture continued spreading, nearly covering the entire Blue Silver Emperor.

"If this continues, perhaps my Blue Silver Emperor will truly transform from blue-gold into a golden Blue Silver Emperor."

Chu Chen awoke. Four Spirit Rings slowly rose from the Blue Silver Emperor in his hand: black, purple, black, black!

As his physical strength continued to improve, he could now adapt to Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings. Thus, his First Spirit Ring—the Natal Spirit Ring awakened through the Blue Silver King's sacrifice—had evolved to the ten-thousand-year level as well!

Although his First Spirit Ring was ten thousand years old,

his Second Spirit Ring was only a thousand years old, making the arrangement seem rather abrupt...

"If I revealed such a Spirit Ring configuration before others, it would surely invite endless trouble..."

Chu Chen spoke quietly. No matter how strong he was now, he had only just advanced to Soul Ancestor.

He had no faction behind him. Everything depended on himself!

Therefore, he had to make every possible preparation and avoid revealing his full strength before others. Especially the Blue Silver Emperor—if Tang Hao discovered it, killing him and taking his bone would surely be Tang Hao's first thought.

Of course, since the Blue Silver Emperor itself possessed the ability to disguise Spirit Rings and conceal its aura, he would not reveal this terrifying Spirit Ring configuration before others.

"The birth conditions of an Ink Jade Bamboo are inherently extremely harsh. It not only requires a land blessed by nature, but also the power of its own kind to reinforce itself, creating a unique special Spirit Beast."

"No wonder this swamp is filled with such surging energy of heaven and earth. It is undoubtedly a blessed land. Unfortunately, I cannot remain here for long."

Chu Chen condensed the Blue Silver Emperor in his hand. With the aid of the Blue Silver Domain, his Spirit Rings became four white Ten-Year Spirit Rings, only to change into four Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings the next moment...

"The fourth spirit ability bestowed upon me by the Ink Jade Bamboo, Life Enhancement... is indeed an excellent fit for the Blue Silver Emperor. It can alter the state of Spirit Abilities and greatly enhance the Martial Soul's toughness and life in a short time."

Chu Chen left this blessed land.

His Fourth Spirit Ability, Life Enhancement, had perfectly inherited the Ink Jade Bamboo's traits.

Once activated, it instantly entered an absolute state, completely granting the Martial Soul enhanced toughness for a short period. It fully strengthened his own Spirit Abilities and Life Aura, such as transforming the Blue Silver Emperor into the Ink Jade Blue Silver Emperor.

Both its attack power and toughness increased dramatically...

"As expected of the Ink Jade Bamboo. Being able to absorb this Spirit Ring as my Fourth Spirit Ring... truly is an enormous blessing."

Chu Chen smiled in satisfaction.

After absorbing the Ink Jade Bamboo, his Soul Power surged to level forty-three in one stroke. Chu Chen then left the swamp.

Though this place could be considered rich in the energy of heaven and earth, it was not exceptional. Perhaps that was precisely why it had not been occupied by powerful Spirit Beasts!

After leaving, Chu Chen retraced his path. His purpose in coming here to obtain a Spirit Ring had already been achieved, so he did not linger any longer.

"It's finally over. Now it's time to head for Heaven Dou City... I wonder how Ye Lingling is doing."

Chu Chen could not help but smile. Their first meeting seemed to resurface in his mind. Several years had passed now, and he wondered how she had been.

There was no denying that Ye Lingling was one of his few friends in this world. As for the others, they were perhaps Wang Sheng and the rest, who had shared a dormitory with him. However, Wang Sheng had been several grades ahead of him.

Thus, Wang Sheng had graduated not long afterward...

"Roar!"

At that moment, an enraged roar that shook the entire forest came from the distance. The sound carried a powerful burst of energy. Even from so far away, he could feel its immense pressure.

"This roar..."

Chu Chen frowned, then silently unleashed the Blue Silver Domain. He linked himself with the Blue Silver Grass, information continuously passing between them. Before long, news from afar reached Chu Chen.

"A Titan Giant Ape..."

Chu Chen paused. Had he happened to encounter Zhao Wuji leading Tang San and the others to hunt a Spirit Ring?

Thinking about it carefully, the timing was indeed about right.

Chu Chen restrained his aura. With a flicker of his body, he rushed into the distance. As he drew closer, the trembling of the ground became increasingly apparent.

Then, a colossal creature suddenly appeared not far from him. Chu Chen saw the Titan Giant Ape clutching Xiao Wu in its hand, running into the distance without looking back!

"The Titan Giant Ape... Though it is not compatible with my Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, it would be an excellent Soul Bone and Spirit Ring for my Second Martial Soul."

Chu Chen silently named the Titan Giant Ape in his heart.

The blooming Blue Silver Grass around him brought Chu Chen new information once more. This time, what he sensed was no longer Tang San's group, but another three people.

Their fragmented words were faintly transmitted into Chu Chen's ears through the special connection between the Blue Silver Emperor and Blue Silver Grass!

"That Man Faced Demon Spider went north. It has already used up all its chances to spit webs; it can no longer escape..."

North?

"Isn't that the direction I'm in? A Man Faced Demon Spider, huh..." Chu Chen smiled. What a windfall. This Man Faced Demon Spider would grant Tang San a top-tier External Soul Bone.

In the future, it would continuously evolve and become the Sea God's Eight Wings.

Naturally, he would not allow Tang San such a fortunate opportunity. He immediately decided to kill the Man Faced Demon Spider here before leaving. If he waited for Tang San to arrive, Tang Hao would surely be nearby as well. At that point, the situation would be far from favorable for Chu Chen!

"..."

The Blue Silver Emperor condensed into a long spear, silently taking shape.
