Role in Cultivation

  • Soul rings are the foundation of a soul master’s cultivation: without them, a soul master cannot pass cultivation bottlenecks or obtain soul skills. 176
  • The number of rings indicates a soul master’s realm. Five rings identify Yu Tianjun as a Soul King, while eight rings identify him as a Soul Douluo. 20 61
  • Traditionally, soul rings are gained by killing soul beasts, creating a long-standing conflict between soul masters and soul beasts. 176
  • A soul ring’s age affects its energy intensity and the strength of the abilities it can provide. Attempting to absorb a ring beyond one’s physical limits can cause backlash or death. 8 16

Acquisition and Absorption

Soul Beast Hunting

Soul rings normally emerge after a soul beast is killed. Yu Tianjun’s first ring came from a six-hundred-year Yellow Armored War Dragon selected for its likely augmentation-type skill. Although he could physically withstand a standard thousand-year ring, dragon-type rings were considered much more intense than those of ordinary soul beasts. 5

  • Compatibility matters; Yu Yuanzhen rejects plant- and rabbit-type hundred-thousand-year soul beasts as unsuitable for Yu Tianjun’s dragon martial soul. 45
  • Physical constitution determines the maximum ring age a soul master can endure. 5 16
  • Yu Xiaogang fails to absorb a three-hundred-year ring; it shatters and inflicts backlash. 8
  • Dragon-type beasts killed by Yu Tianjun do not leave resentment in their rings because his Golden Dragon bloodline suppresses them, but their energy remains dangerous. 16

Soul Beast Sacrifice

A willing soul beast can directly transform into a soul ring rather than being hunted.

  • The Sky Azure Bull Python sacrifices itself to become Yu Tianjun’s eighth ring, also producing the Sky Azure Bull Python Right Leg Bone. 55
  • The Titan Giant Ape later sacrifices itself to fuse with that same eighth ring. 56
  • The souls of Da Ming and Er Ming remain as embryos in Yu Tianjun’s spiritual world and may eventually be reborn. 56
  • Sky Dream Ice Silkworm becomes Huo Yuhao’s first Wisdom Soul Ring, a million-year ring concealed behind the appearance of a yellow ring. 188 189 191

Ring Alteration and Fusion

Asura God Trial Enhancements

The Asura God Trial can directly increase a soul ring’s age.

  • The first trial raises all of Yu Tianjun’s rings by 5,000 years, including future eighth and ninth rings. His first ring changes from yellow to purple, while his third and fourth rings become black. 47
  • A later reward raises every ring by another 10,000 years, turning Yu Tianjun’s first and second rings black and his sixth ring red. 79
  • The Destruction God Trial later offers to upgrade all of Yu Tianjun’s ten-thousand-year rings to hundred-thousand-year rings upon reaching level 95. 108

Eighth-Ring Fusion

Yu Tianjun’s eighth ring receives a unique fusion ability through the fourth Asura God Trial.

  • The Sky Azure Bull Python forms the initial hundred-thousand-year eighth ring. 55
  • The Titan Giant Ape’s sacrifice adds 200,000 years and grants Slow Domain and Titan God Fist. 56
  • Fusion with the Titan Snow Demon King raises the ring to 400,000 years and strengthens its associated right-leg bone. 59
  • The evolved Sky Azure Twin Ape Right Leg Bone possesses Slow Azure Light, Child of the Earth, and Ice Source Divine Power. 59

Alternative to Soul Rings

Imprint Technique

Yu Tianjun and Zhou Weiqing develop the Imprint Technique as a replacement for traditional soul-ring hunting. It transfers an existing soul beast skill imprint to a soul master without killing or permanently damaging the beast. 176 177

  • The process requires three stages: stripping the skill imprint, preserving it, and integrating it into a recipient. 177
  • Natural mineral crystals can store an extracted imprint for at least several hundred years with negligible dissipation. 177
  • Human trials successfully integrate imprinted skills without side effects. 177
  • Sects seeking the technique must agree to stop hunting soul beasts and protect their habitats until their relocation to Soul Beast Planet is complete. 177
