The Ten-Thousand-Year Third Ring, Instant Thunder Flying Feather!

As Yu Tianchen activated the Great Sun Thunder Body.

A pale black soul ring began to slowly drift toward the top of his head.

Simultaneously, a surge of energy, vast enough to be described as boundless, poured violently into Yu Tianchen's body.

In a single instant, Yu Tianchen felt the meridians throughout his entire body begin to ache intensely under the overwhelming impact of this soul power.

The Five Thunder Shock Drums lit up in unison with strange patterns, dispersing to various angles around Yu Tianchen. They each shot out a lightning chain, tethering the soul ring above his head while connecting to one another to form a pentagonal shape.

Yu Tianchen suddenly felt his body go slack.

The once-violent and surging soul power instantly weakened significantly.

Under the operation of the Great Sun Thunder Body, these volatile and impure strands of soul power began to enter the meridians of his cultivation technique, guided by the surrounding Soul Power Vortex into a state of gradual stability.

Just as Yu Tianchen thought he could finally settle down.

His brain suddenly throbbed with pain, and a cry accompanied by a faint dragon roar erupted.

The mental shock unique to a ten-thousand-year soul ring had arrived!

Because Yu Tianchen had prepared in advance and consumed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, his mental fortitude was sufficient to endure this mental shock, even if it was painful.

It was not enough to break him.

And so, amidst the dual agony of the mental shock and the physical impact of the soul power.

The soul ring hovering above Yu Tianchen's head began to descend slowly, settling onto his body.

For every fraction of an inch it drew closer to Yu Tianchen, the soul power impact and the mental shock grew in intensity.

Nearby, Yu Yuanzhen watched this scene nervously.

It could be said that the last time he had been this nervous.

Was when Yu Tianchen absorbed his first thousand-year soul ring.

But the nervousness back then and the nervousness now were not even in the same category.

At that time, Yu Tianchen possessed the physique to absorb a thousand-year soul ring; although Yu Yuanzhen was anxious, he had at least some confidence.

But now, absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring at the Soul Elder realm—even if Yu Tianchen was confident, Yu Yuanzhen had no certainty at all.

"You must hold on, Xiao Chen!"

Yu Yuanzhen clenched his fists, watching Yu Tianchen's current state with bated breath.

Time ticked away, second by second.

Soon, the setting sun dissipated its final rays, and the night quietly crept in, leaving only specks of starlight flickering in the night sky.

At this moment, the soul ring on Yu Tianchen's body had reached his midsection, remaining parallel to the Five Thunder Shock Drums circling around him.

The look of agony that had originally been on Yu Tianchen's face had long since vanished, replaced by a look of calm.

His body was as translucent and white as fine jade, and the soul power within him flowed through his meridians like surging waves.

A moment later.

The pale black soul ring surrounding Yu Tianchen began to descend once more.

At a steady pace, it settled beneath Yu Tianchen.

The Five Thunder Shock Drums also ceased their tethering of the soul ring, instead connecting their lightning chains to Yu Tianchen's body, returning all the soul power they had previously drawn away back to him.

With the essence of the ultimate lightning contained within the Five Thunder Shock Drums, this soul power had long since been transformed from impure to the most refined essence.

As it flooded into Yu Tianchen's body, it not only bolstered his original soul power but also mobilized the energy from the two immortal herbs that had not yet been fully absorbed.

His physical body and cultivation realm began to climb steadily.

Level 31... Level 32... Level 33...

It was not until he reached level 34 that the climb in his realm began to slow down.

By the time he reached level 36, the energy finally stabilized, showing no further signs of rising.

As for the cultivation realm of his physical body, it successfully reached the mid-stage of the Great Sun Thunder Body's Jade Thunder Body, just one final step away from entering the late stage.

Beside Yu Tianchen.

Yu Yuanzhen looked on in astonishment at the terrifying increase in Yu Tianchen's soul power.

"Level 36... Is the boost provided by a ten-thousand-year soul ring really this terrifying..."

He murmured softly.

A jump of six levels in one go.

Is this really an effect that a ten-thousand-year soul ring can bring about??

After another moment, the aura on Yu Tianchen's body finally began to recede.

He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

A faint sound of thunder rumbled along with his breath.

Feeling the massive surge of soul power in his body, Yu Tianchen revealed a satisfied smile.

Not bad. Although the absorption of this ten-thousand-year spirit ring was a bit painful, the rewards gained were absolutely the most bountiful!

"Xiaochen, how are you feeling?"

Seeing Yu Tianchen wake up, Yu Yuanzhen hurriedly asked, "Do you feel any discomfort? If you do, you must tell me immediately; don't hide anything!"

"I'm fine, Grandfather."

Yu Tianchen shook his head and stood up, clenching his fist tightly to produce a crisp sound of grinding bones.

"I feel... terrifyingly strong right now!"

"That's good."

Watching Yu Tianchen look completely unscathed, Yu Yuanzhen breathed a sigh of relief, then asked with some curiosity, "So, what kind of skill did this spirit ring bring you?"

"My third spirit skill is called Instant Thunder Flying Feather."

Yu Tianchen controlled the Five Thunder Shock Drums surrounding him to hover behind his back, and at the same time, the pale black spirit ring beneath him lit up.

The Five Thunder Shock Drums immediately flared with thunder, radiating outward in all directions.

Countless feathers, appearing as if etched with faint scale patterns, manifested in the space around Yu Tianchen.

With a casual wave of Yu Tianchen's hand, these feathers embedded themselves directly into the surrounding woods.

The next instant, Yu Tianchen's figure vanished, appearing directly at the location of one of the feathers.

But it wasn't over yet; Yu Tianchen's figure began to continuously disappear and reappear, vanish and emerge once more.

Every time he appeared, it was beside a random feather.

"This is... a teleportation-type spirit skill? And one that allows for multiple teleports at that?"

Watching Yu Tianchen demonstrate his spirit skill, Yu Yuanzhen's eyes widened slightly.
