Ah Yin, You've Been Used Up and Tossed Aside!

"This is the power of Lightning Power."

"Even without a first Spirit Skill, I can use simple binding to attack enemies with Lightning Power."

"The stronger the Blue Silver Grass's vitality, the stronger the Lightning Power."

Life and destruction had actually achieved perfect fusion within a single strand of Blue Silver Grass!

Zhou Tao could not help but feel somewhat astonished.

"Looks like my martial soul isn't as useless as I imagined."

"Lightning Blue Silver Grass is actually a martial soul with limitless potential, naturally possessing both ultimate vitality and ultimate power."

"And its potential is unlimited."

Zhou Tao was overjoyed. After six years of struggle, his useless martial soul had completely transformed and revealed formidable power!

This martial soul would be the foundation upon which he would roam freely across Douluo Continent in the future.

"The Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone also brought me a surprise."

"I gained two Spirit Skills."

"The first is: 'Wildfires cannot burn it all away; spring winds breathe life anew.'"

"It's simply a terrifying body-restoration Spirit Skill. Even if my leg were severed, it could rapidly restore it."

"It's absolutely an artifact for sustained combat!"

"The second Spirit Skill is flight!"

"Generally speaking, only Title Douluo can fly."

"But a flight Spirit Skill can grant me stable flying ability, and it consumes very little Soul Power."

"It's practically a divine skill for fighting and staying alive!"

After testing the effects of the two Spirit Skills, Zhou Tao returned to the cellar.

He still had a crucial issue to resolve: the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin!

But Zhou Tao hesitated somewhat over how to deal with Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor.

Obviously, Ah Yin was an empress with power but no brains.

When she encountered a swindler like Tang Hao, she was fooled by his masterful sweet-talking. Not only had she been tricked out of her body, but she had also ruined the Blue Silver Emperor Inheritance.

Because of her stupidity, the Blue Silver Grass clan had been completely controlled by the Tang Clan and reduced to puppets.

Zhou Tao could directly absorb the Blue Silver Emperor and seize her inheritance.

After all, this love-addled fool had fallen from a lofty empress to her current state entirely because of her own foolishness.

Rather than let her continue harming the Blue Silver Grass clan, it would be better for Zhou Tao to inherit the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline.

However, although Zhou Tao felt that Ah Yin was foolish, he also had a solution that would benefit them both.

It would let him obtain the Blue Silver Emperor Inheritance while giving her hope of surviving and even taking revenge on Tang Hao.

She could even help Ah Yin grow stronger quickly.

After all, she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Ah Yin surely knew the Star Dou Great Forest extremely well.

With her help, hunting Soul Beasts in the future would become much more convenient.

"Whether this can be a win-win situation will depend on Ah Yin."

Having made up his mind, Zhou Tao sat cross-legged and extended his Blue Silver Grass martial soul, entwining it with the Blue Silver Emperor before him.

Within Zhou Tao's blue-gold Spirit Sea, a blue-haired phantom floated silently.

Ah Yin had actually already awakened.

She knew that she had been completely controlled by the youth before her, and that he could devour her and take all her Soul Power at any time.

Yet he seemed to have made no move for a long while.

Ah Yin was confused.

At this moment, Zhou Tao's gaze fell upon the beautiful woman within his Spirit Sea.

Her azure-blue hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, while a luxurious blue-gold robe wrapped around her graceful figure.

Zhou Tao looked calmly at Ah Yin without showing much surprise.

"We should talk."

He spoke indifferently.

At that moment, Ah Yin's nearly transparent body swayed slightly. She was clearly very weak and felt that she was entirely under his control.

It had been six years since she sacrificed herself to empower Tang Hao, yet her Soul Power had not recovered even a little. She had remained in a half-dead state all this time.

She did not know why Tang Hao had treated her this way. She had merely continued living in a daze.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Haven't I already been under your control?"

Ah Yin's voice was as faint as a mosquito's. At this moment, all she felt was fear.

"Aren't you very confused?"

"Why did Tang Hao lock you in a pitch-black stone cave and prevent you from recovering?"

"Did he truly love you if he could do something like this?"

Ah Yin immediately became anxious.

"Brother Hao certainly loves me."

"He risked his life against Spirit Hall for me. How could he not love me?"

Ah Yin panicked. Her love-addled mind flared up again, as though she had been fed some bewitching potion, and she hurriedly refuted him.

"You had already reached maturity then. Only pregnancy would cause a Soul Beast's aura to leak out."

"Tang Hao could have taken you into seclusion and waited until after you gave birth before coming out."

"Why did he make such a grand display of taking you around everywhere?"

"Did he really not know that this would draw Spirit Hall's encirclement and suppression?"

Zhou Tao's words instantly sobered her. Back then, immersed in the bliss of love, she had failed to recognize the danger of doing so.

"No, Brother Hao loves me. He nearly died for me..."

Ah Yin's love-addled mind acted up again.

"If he loves you, why didn't he help you recover as quickly as possible? Why did he instead lock you in a sunless prison?"

"If he had sent you back to the Blue Silver Forest, you could at least have recovered tens of thousands of years of cultivation, right?"

"He was afraid you would die, but he was also afraid you would grow stronger. That way, he could take your Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline."

"He keeps saying that he loves you, but has a single one of his actions ever made your life better?"

"You suffered in that lightless prison for six years, unable to live and unable to die. Is that Tang Hao's love for you?"

"He claims to love you while making you sacrifice yourself, taking your Spirit Bone, and stealing your Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline. Is that what loving you means?"

"After everything that has happened, have you figured it out yet?"

Zhou Tao carefully analyzed each matter, striking directly at the heart of the issue.

Even the dumbest Soul Beast should have been able to see the problem by now.

If she still could not awaken, then such a foolish Soul Beast might as well be destroyed directly.

A pig-headed teammate was even more terrifying than a clever enemy.

Ah Yin's heart gradually collapsed, as if her entire world were falling apart.

"But I can't stop worrying about my child..."

Ah Yin still had one lingering attachment.

Clearly, this mother Soul Beast acted purely on instinct and had little brainpower.

"Tang San died long ago. You don't have a son!"

Zhou Tao's shocking declaration immediately made Ah Yin's eyes widen.

"Impossible! He's obviously alive."

Although Ah Yin had been locked inside the stone chamber, she could still sense her son's existence through the Blue Silver Network.

"He died the moment he was born. The one occupying that body now is another soul!"

"When you fought Spirit Hall back then, how could a newborn possibly have survived?"

"Besides, what baby have you ever seen cultivate on his own?"

"What baby can forge hidden weapons by himself?"

"Even Tang Hao can't!"

The most outrageous thing in the original story was Tang San.

Before the age of six, he practiced every day and could even forge hidden weapons, yet Tang Hao, a Title Douluo, had no reaction whatsoever.

Was a Title Douluo really that useless? Or had Tang Hao known all along and expected it?

Then Zhou Tao recalled that Tang San had been sent to Douluo Continent by the Asura God, and that Tang Hao's family had been cultivated by the Asura God.

Zhou Tao could not help suspecting that the Asura God had secretly told Tang Hao long ago that Tang San's soul had been replaced.

Therefore, Tang Hao had never been surprised by any of Tang San's bizarre behavior!

Upon hearing this, Ah Yin completely broke down. Her sky had fallen.

She had been thoroughly exploited and used up, and even her son had died and been replaced.

At this moment, her heart was completely consumed by hatred.

"What do you want in exchange for helping me take revenge?"

Ah Yin was, after all, the Blue Silver Emperor, so she still possessed some intelligence.

"I can help you destroy Tang Hao and his son, and I can help you restore your strength, but I want the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline!"
