From Now On, I Call the Shots in This Area, Understand?

It had taken him only half an hour to raise his cultivation from 100,000 years to 200,000 years.

Yes, without realizing it, his battle with Er Ming had already lasted a full half hour!

Once his cultivation had firmly reached 200,000 years, the aura around Lan Lingcang was no longer suppressed in the slightest and erupted all at once!

After reaching 200,000 years of cultivation, Lan Lingcang himself underwent an enormous transformation.

At this stage, he had finally and officially entered the ranks of Ferocious Beasts!

Of course, strictly speaking, he had not yet undergone the 200,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation, so he could only be considered a Pseudo-Ferocious Beast.

But that did not matter to him at all.

Because even as a Pseudo-Ferocious Beast, he had already gained a humanoid form.

The solid, pale-blue phantom gradually dispersed amid the light, replaced by a humanoid body with true physical substance.

As the light faded, a tall, upright young man appeared in Er Ming's sight.

Lan Lingcang had blue-gold hair like drifting clouds, whipping wildly in the wind.

Faint blue-gold Blue Silver Grass markings, elegant and noble at a glance, surfaced across his fair skin.

A crystalline blue-gold Blue Silver Grass "ornament" was slanted into the right side of his head.

However, it was not an ornament at all.

That stalk of Blue Silver Grass was the symbol of his beastly nature after assuming a humanoid form.

It was like the scorpion tail retained by the Ice Empress in her humanoid form, or the pair of wings the Emerald Swan Bi Ji retained on her back.

After all, this was merely a humanoid form, not true transformation into a human.

As Er Ming looked at the handsome young man with that terrifying aura, three enormous question marks slowly appeared over his head.

He had lived for so many years, yet he had never seen such a freak who advanced to 200,000 years of cultivation right in the middle of a fight!

After Lan Lingcang's cultivation reached 200,000 years, his Blue Silver Domain also underwent a transformation.

The original Blue Silver Domain possessed five core abilities.

Plant Control, Domain Detection, and Isolation Barrier, which granted immunity to negative effects such as poisonous gas and mental interference.

Then there was Forest Myriad Manifestations, which could absorb the life energy of plants across a large surrounding area, convert it into his own energy, and exert bloodline suppression over all plant-type soul beasts, though its suppression of non-plant soul beasts was weaker.

And All Rivers Flow to the Sea: within the domain, the vitality of ordinary Blue Silver Grass formed a cycle with his own Soul Power, allowing him inexhaustible endurance wherever grass grew.

Following this evolution to the Ferocious Beast level, his domain gained another new ability.

This was also an outward manifestation of another advancement in Lan Lingcang's bloodline.

At this moment, as the Blue Silver Emperor... no, although he was not yet powerful enough, he should now be called the Blue Silver Emperor Sovereign!

The life origin within his body had risen to another level.

Now, within the range of this brand-new domain, he could no longer merely absorb the life energy of Blue Silver Grass.

He could even absorb an opponent's energy, such as... the Titan Giant Ape before him!

The life energy absorbed this way contained many different components.

Here, it was not entirely equivalent to directly draining an opponent's lifespan.

Or rather, he had not yet reached such a heaven-defying level as directly draining lifespan. That would have been a little too outrageous.

Even Bi Ji could not do such a thing.

Now, through the Blue Silver Grass attached to Er Ming's body, he could absorb his opponent's Soul Power and physical strength.

Then he could replenish himself with all the energy he had deprived!

Feeling the restless devouring force within his domain, the smile on Lan Lingcang's lips grew wider and wider.

He called this ability... Life Deprivation!

Lan Lingcang did not give Er Ming much time to stand there in a daze. His gaze suddenly sharpened.

With a fierce shout from him, the evolved 200,000-year Blue Silver Domain abruptly contracted, concentrating all its energy around Er Ming.

The Blue Silver Grass that had been pressed flat to the ground by the Gravity Domain seemed to have been injected with stimulants, instantly bursting forth with vitality ten times stronger than before.

Defying that terrifying gravity, they unbelievably rose upright once more!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Countless vines instantly broke through Er Ming's defenses, tightly winding around the Titan Giant Ape's hill-sized limbs and torso.

"Roar! Get the hell off me!"

Er Ming let out a roar filled with shock and fury.

The muscles throughout his body bulged as he tried once more to tear apart these troublesome vines.

Yet this time, he discovered in horror that these evolved vines were exceptionally tough!

Not only were they impossible to tear apart easily, but the thorns on the vines pierced directly into his thick fur!

Then he felt his Soul Power and physical strength draining away!

"What kind of ability is this?!"

The mighty forest overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest was being drained by a mere blade of grass until he could not fight back. Er Ming's heart was filled with terror.

Though Lan Lingcang's bloodline was the lowliest Blue Silver Grass, no matter how inferior a bloodline was, it could undergo unimaginable evolution when piled high enough with cultivation!

Against other Ferocious Beasts, he might have had no ability to resist.

But against a Titan Giant Ape that was not even a Ferocious Beast, dealing with him was absurdly easy!

"Could you spare the life of my foolish second brother?"

At that moment, an enormous bull's head emerged from nowhere.

The Sky Azure Bull Python!

"Oh? The Sky Azure Bull Python?" Lan Lingcang chuckled. "You watched from the side for quite a while, didn't you? You finally decided to show yourself now?"

He and Er Ming had fought for more than half an hour. There was no way the Sky Azure Bull Python could have had no reaction at all.

After all, Er Ming had originally only come over to take a look, yet it had somehow turned into a fight.

The Sky Azure Bull Python was somewhat embarrassed as well. "This was our fault. We were merely too curious, so..."

Lan Lingcang naturally understood what he meant.

"I never intended to do anything to him in the first place. Otherwise, I would not have wasted my breath. I would have directly triggered the Heavenly Tribulation."

Lan Lingcang spoke with a faint, unreadable smile.

Trigger the Heavenly Tribulation?

That was the 200,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation!

Upon hearing this, both the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape could not help but break out in goosebumps.

Though Da Ming was stronger than Er Ming and possessed a trace of True Dragon Bloodline, facing the 200,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation would be no different from asking him to die!

"Ahem, thank you, Blue Silver Emperor, for showing mercy. May I ask how you should be addressed? You can call me Da Ming, and he is Er Ming."

The Sky Azure Bull Python was an intelligent soul beast. He knew that the being before him absolutely could not be offended, and that it would be best if he could befriend him.

"Lan Lingcang."

Lan Lingcang answered calmly.

Then he added, "From now on, I call the shots in this area. Understand?"

How could the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape dare object? They hurriedly nodded. "Understood, understood..."
