They shimmered with a cold glint, their single head-eyes purple with pupils as thin as needles, their arms resembling blood blades of extreme sharpness; they possessed the aura of ten-year soul beasts.

At this moment, within the Blood Sea World, every single blood monster had transformed into a ten-year soul beast.

Trillions of monsters in the Blood Sea had completed this terrifying metamorphosis—the only word to describe it was "horrifying."

Lin Tian's eyes went blank; just how many soul beasts were there in the Douluo Continent?

There were trillions here; they could fill the entire Douluo Continent!

Beyond these blood monsters, the bacteria and viruses that had previously served as food in the Blood Sea had now evolved into Blood Shadow Fungus and Blood Devouring Body.

The Blood Shadow Fungus were no longer the weak bacterial clusters clinging to blood, but had transformed into half-meter-wide spheres of blood-colored mist. Suspended within each mist was a pitch-black single eye, surrounded by filaments of black fog that could corrode blood and emit an evil aura.

The Blood Devouring Body had condensed from formless viruses into tadpole-shaped evil entities, their single head-eyes looking incredibly twisted; they, too, had evolved to the ten-year level.

In addition to these Native Blood Sea Monster and their inherent fungal bodies, those blood monsters that had already been corrupted during the evil-transformation of the martial soul had also evolved into corresponding forms, though they appeared even more twisted, their single eyes radiating a scarlet hue filled with terrifying killing intent.

Beyond the original characteristics of these blood monsters, they now sported pitch-black scales, disgusting tumors, sharp fangs, or coiled tentacles, each one twisted to the extreme.

Following the evolution came an even more frenzied war; the Blood Sea World had completely devolved into a battlefield.

Trillions of Native Blood Sea Monster and Evil Blood Sea Monster engaged in a brutal war: the Blood Blade Guard slashed through the sea, the White Armor Guard formed solid defensive lines to block attacks, and the Blood Grain Worm continuously transported energy to the front lines while bombarding enemies at high speeds.

The bacteria and viruses, having evolved into Blood Shadow Fungus and Blood Devouring Body, were unwilling to remain mere food.

Rising rapidly like opportunistic bandits, they devoured the energy of both the Native Blood Sea Monster and the Evil Blood Sea Monster, while kicking them while they were down, throwing the entire Blood Sea into chaos; from time to time, even sea soul beasts were dragged into the fray.

Now, the nightmare for these sea soul beasts had truly arrived.

Originally, the sea soul beasts could rely on their absolute strength advantage to crush the monsters and barely withstand their terrifying numbers, but now that all the blood monsters had ascended to ten-year soul beasts—an epic-level enhancement—there was no longer any essential difference between them and the soul beasts.

Hundred-year soul beasts could no longer crush them, and ten-year soul beasts were even more miserable, often proving weaker than the blood monsters of the same rank.

In an instant, the sea soul beasts were filled with endless fear; the feeling that the world had changed in a heartbeat was truly terrifying.

Lin Tian watched this great battle clearly. After evolving into soul beasts, the strength of both the Native Blood Sea Monster and the Evil Blood Sea Monster had increased tenfold, and the difficulty of confronting them had risen by more than ten times.

Every moment, millions of blood monsters fell in battle.

The strength of the Native Blood Sea Monster was far lower than that of the Evil Blood Sea Monster, but fortunately, they had the advantage of numbers; after all, the entire Blood Sea was currently, under his catalysis, continuously birthing an endless stream of new blood soul beasts.

After he absorbed the soul ring, upgraded his martial soul, and the Blood Sea ascended, what was born was no longer ordinary blood monsters, but Blood Sea Soul Beast—they were Blood Sea Soul Beast from the start.

Due to the disparity in strength, the casualties among the Native Blood Sea Monster were heavy.

Yet, every time a Blood Sea Soul Beast fell, besides dropping more concentrated attribute light orbs, they would condense a ten-year soul ring that drifted slowly through the Blood Sea.

These were all ten-year soul rings, numbering in the trillions and scattered throughout the Blood Sea like stars in the sky.

Lin Tian felt a pang of heartache: if he could bring these soul rings to the Douluo Continent and craft them into soul spirits, he would be invincible—how much money would that be worth?

A single ten-year soul spirit was worth seventy thousand Alliance coins; there were trillions here, and with countless rings being born every second, he could achieve infinite resources.

But now, these precious soul rings could only wait in the Blood Sea World until their energy dissipated, merging into the Blood Sea as pure soul power; it wasn't a total waste, but it felt like a pity.

Besides soul rings, white soul bones would also drop from the battlefield from time to time.

The drop rate of soul bones from ten-year soul beasts was one in a million, but given the massive number of blood monsters, dense piles of ten-year soul bones were falling to the bottom of the Blood Sea every moment.

Lin Tian watched with burning envy, wishing he could dive down right now and collect them all; a ten-year soul bone was still a soul bone.

However, he currently had no way to control his Starfish Martial Soul to descend into the Blood Sea, and could only watch helplessly as these soul bones slowly vanished.

At the bottom of the Blood Sea, many seabed soul beasts already lived, such as the Sponge Soul Beast in this area; they were merely the most common attachments on the seabed, but they had managed to survive by feeding on debris through their fission abilities.

Now, these soul bones were a gift from the heavens; they crawled onto the bones one after another, swallowing them into their bodies to begin absorption and slowly grow stronger.

Just like that, Lin Tian spent his days watching the cycle of war in the Blood Sea: soul rings appearing, soul bones dropping, and the war continuing.

The Evil Blood Sea Monster were decreasing with every battle, while the newly born Blood Sea Soul Beast were increasing.

Lin Tian felt a bit regretful about this; although the Blood Sea Soul Beast were endless, there would eventually be a time when they were all killed. The Evil Blood Sea Monster could not regenerate, and one day they would be exhausted by the Blood Sea Soul Beast, so he would have to think of a way later.

After all, these Evil Blood Sea Monster were a form of biodiversity in the Blood Sea, and he couldn't let them go to waste.

Lin Tian estimated he would stay in this Blood Sea for a year; every time he fell into a passive coma and entered the Blood Sea World, he would be unconscious for a day. If he entered actively, he could exit at any time, but that wasn't possible right now.

Outside, Han Tianyi was still providing Lin Tian with a continuous stream of energy.

Just then, a rich and pure soul power suddenly surged from Lin Tian's arm, from within his Blood Sea Martial Soul.

"Not good, it's a soul power leak!"

Han Tianyi reacted quickly, immediately using his spiritual power to seal Lin Tian's hand, but the next moment he realized something was wrong and released his grip: "No, this isn't a soul power leak."

Han Tianyi looked at the pure soul power surging out endlessly, a look of shock appearing on his face.

"This... what is this?"
