Douluo: Breathing Makes Me Stronger, Tang San Is Terrified!

After his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul evolved, he was able to communicate with the many Blue Silver Grasses in Star Dou Forest. Whether he was searching for target Spirit Beasts or hiding his tracks when danger arose, they had been a tremendous help.

Otherwise, after that Man Faced Demon Spider finished eating the Ice Glaze Deer, it would definitely have turned around and attacked him.

Having spent a long time in the Mixed Zone of Star Dou Forest, Lu Chen encountered quite a few ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts every day. He had remained safe and sound thanks to the Blue Silver Grass serving as his eyes and ears.

After leaving the area, Lu Chen followed the guidance of the Blue Silver Grass and climbed a majestic mountain.

At the summit, he saw a gigantic pine tree growing there.

The pine tree stood tall and imposing, piercing straight into the clouds.

Its trunk was twisted and ancient, while its branches and leaves were lush and dense.

A vast Soul Power that made one's heart tremble, along with a life aura that brought peace to the mind, emanated from the pine tree.

Lu Chen looked the pine tree over, then said with delight written all over his face,

"Everlasting Evergreen Pine! Hahaha, I've finally found my Sixth Spirit Ring."

"By my estimate, this Everlasting Evergreen Pine has cultivated for more than forty-eight thousand years. It is very close to fifty thousand years, making it perfect for my Sixth Spirit Ring."

"The Everlasting Evergreen Pine is known for its extraordinarily tenacious vitality. For ten thousand years, it neither ages nor dies, remaining evergreen throughout."

"Every ten thousand years, it enters a period of decline. Its branches and leaves wither, and its trunk decays. But as long as it survives that period, life will bloom within its body once more."

"Like rebirth from nirvana, an Everlasting Evergreen Pine that survives its period of decline rapidly regains its vitality, and the life force contained within its body undergoes a qualitative transformation compared to before."

"Isn't that exactly what I need? A powerful vitality that can recover even from the brink of death."

"A forty-eight-thousand-year Everlasting Evergreen Pine is simply the most suitable Sixth Spirit Ring for me!"

Forty-Eight-Thousand-Year Everlasting Evergreen Pine

Having made his decision to use this Everlasting Evergreen Pine as his Sixth Spirit Ring, Lu Chen acted without hesitation.

"Third Spirit Skill, Blue Silver Shelter!"

"Fifth Spirit Skill, Blue Silver Blessing!"

Lu Chen summoned his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. The crystalline Blue Silver Grass, radiating a gentle golden glow and brimming with dense life energy, grew around him.

Five awe-inspiring Spirit Rings—purple, purple, purple, black, black—appeared one after another beneath Lu Chen's feet.

In an instant, his third purple Spirit Ring and fifth black Spirit Ring lit up in succession.

As the Third Spirit Skill, Blue Silver Shelter, activated, a blue barrier spread around Lu Chen's body as his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul shone.

With the Fifth Spirit Skill, Blue Silver Blessing, a dense force of life poured out from the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and flowed into Lu Chen's body.

Lu Chen immediately felt power surging endlessly from within his body.

His body underwent a massive Transformation. His original height of 1.8 meters rapidly grew to two meters, and the muscles all over his body swiftly swelled and bulged, every inch packed with explosive power.

Lu Chen felt better than ever. Never before had he been so full of strength.

This was his Fifth Spirit Skill, Blue Silver Blessing. It guided life force into the body and increased all attributes by 100%—attack, defense, strength, speed...

Lu Chen felt like a humanoid Spirit Beast now. The explosive power within him made him feel invincible!

"Kill!"

Lu Chen let out a furious roar and charged toward the Everlasting Evergreen Pine like a bolt of thunder. He was like a high-speed tank, carrying an unstoppable momentum that seemed capable of crushing every enemy in his path.

The Everlasting Evergreen Pine clearly sensed Lu Chen's fierce approach and hostile intentions. Its trunk shook violently, and under the infusion of Soul Power, its originally soft needle-like leaves instantly hardened like refined steel.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Under the Everlasting Evergreen Pine's control, the pine needles on its body shot through the air like Hidden Weapons. There were simply too many of them, densely covering the entire sky.

Seeing the density of the attack, Lu Chen's scalp went numb. There was nowhere for him to dodge.

He could only grit his teeth and charge toward the Everlasting Evergreen Pine through the incoming pine needles.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The steel-hard pine needles rained down on the blue barrier. The energy shield immediately began to ripple violently and was nearly shattered in an instant.

Lu Chen frowned. This forty-eight-thousand-year Everlasting Evergreen Pine really did have some tricks up its sleeve.

In that split second, he swiftly responded.

"Blue Silver Shelter!"

Relying on his abundant Soul Power, Lu Chen used Blue Silver Shelter seven times in a row, raising a total of seven blue barriers around his body.

As the first blue barrier shattered, the dense pine needles stabbed toward the second blue barrier like a tidal wave.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Under the relentless assault of pine needles, the second, third, and fourth blue barriers around Lu Chen shattered one after another.

But in that time, Lu Chen had already rushed in front of the Everlasting Evergreen Pine. He swung his fist, frantically circulating the Soul Power inside his body until it boiled like raging lava.

"Cannon Fist!"

Lu Chen threw a punch with overwhelming force, smashing it heavily into the trunk of the Everlasting Evergreen Pine and instantly leaving a deep fist mark.

A fierce energy shockwave swept out and penetrated deep into the trunk, causing the entire tree to shake violently.

Creak... creak...

Strained groans came from within the Everlasting Evergreen Pine's trunk, as if something inside had broken.

Lu Chen was immediately overjoyed at the sight.

It worked!

As long as his attacks were effective, he would eventually beat the Everlasting Evergreen Pine to death.

His eyes narrowed. He attacked with both fists, one punch after another landing continuously on the Everlasting Evergreen Pine's trunk.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under Lu Chen's brutal assault, the entire trunk of the Everlasting Evergreen Pine began to bend to one side, showing signs of snapping.

At this critical moment, the Everlasting Evergreen Pine changed its strategy. Seeing that its pine needles could not kill Lu Chen, it mobilized its roots.

The ground instantly trembled as thick roots burst from beneath the earth, coiling toward Lu Chen like giant snakes.

Lu Chen glanced at them from the corner of his eye, then controlled the Blue Silver Grass to extend countless vines, tangling with those thick roots.

One Blue Silver Grass vine wrapped around one root of the Everlasting Evergreen Pine.

If one was not enough, then three Blue Silver Grass vines wrapped around one root of the Everlasting Evergreen Pine.

In short, he used the Blue Silver Grass vines to hold the Everlasting Evergreen Pine's roots in place, preventing them from interfering with him.

Lu Chen had truly gone all out. Under the effects of Blue Silver Blessing, his attack, defense, strength, speed... all doubled. That gave him the confidence to beat the Everlasting Evergreen Pine to death.

At that moment, he no longer cared whether his body could endure such power. He recklessly unleashed every ounce of strength onto the Everlasting Evergreen Pine's trunk.

A few punches, dozens of punches, scores of punches, hundreds of punches, several hundred punches...

By the end, Lu Chen no longer knew how many punches he had thrown.

The Everlasting Evergreen Pine before him finally snapped in half at the waist with a crack under Lu Chen's relentless barrage, then crashed heavily to the ground.

A faint, almost imperceptible wail drifted into Lu Chen's ears.

The Everlasting Evergreen Pine had finally died at Lu Chen's hands.

Huff! Huff! Huff!

An incomparably dense black radiance emerged from the Everlasting Evergreen Pine's trunk. The energy contained within was terrifying, making even the air turn viscous.

After several changes, it condensed into a deep black Spirit Ring!

This was the Spirit Ring of a forty-eight-thousand-year Spirit Beast!

Looking at the Spirit Ring, Lu Chen laughed freely despite panting heavily and being drenched in sweat.

"Hahahaha..."

After venting all the joy in his heart,

Lu Chen began treating his injuries.

"First Spirit Skill, Blue Silver Revival!"

"Second Spirit Skill, Blue Silver Grace!"

Bathed in a mist of blue light, the exhaustion in Lu Chen's body and mind was greatly relieved. His bloodied fists rapidly scabbed over and soon returned to an uninjured state.

Lu Chen, who had just been exhausted and whose hands had been mangled beyond recognition, returned to peak condition in the blink of an eye.

As for the Soul Power he had consumed, Lu Chen could absorb the energy of heaven and earth just by breathing.

The speed at which his Soul Power recovered far exceeded the speed at which it was consumed.

After recovering, Lu Chen stared at the black Spirit Ring with shining eyes. He could barely wait to absorb it and truly become a six-ring Spirit Emperor.

But before that, as vigilant as ever, Lu Chen dug a hole in the ground. He then crawled into it, used Blue Silver Grass to drag over a stone, and completely sealed the entrance.

Only after finishing all of this did Lu Chen finally relax.

Blue Silver King

Lu Chen circulated the Meditation Method and connected with his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, beginning to absorb the forty-eight-thousand-year Everlasting Evergreen Pine Spirit Ring.

At his summons, the black Spirit Ring swiftly floated over and settled around his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. It rapidly contracted and merged into it.

Boom!

A vast Soul Power brimming with life aura surged through the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. Stimulated by that life aura, Lu Chen's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul trembled lightly and began its sixth evolution.

Up to this point, Lu Chen's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul had undergone five evolutions. This was the sixth, and it was also the most intense evolution yet.

The crystalline Blue Silver Grass trembled violently as a vigorous Origin of Life gathered within it.

It was an unprecedented transformation!

It caused his formerly ordinary Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul to emit a trace of kingly majesty!

Meanwhile, Lu Chen's body was also undergoing a harsh trial.

The energy contained within this forty-eight-thousand-year Spirit Ring was far too terrifying. After it flowed back into Lu Chen's body, he had to exert every bit of his strength just to barely suppress it.

The dormant Soul Power within his body was fully unleashed this time.

His true Soul Power had already reached above level sixty.

In the past, with this level-sixty Soul Power, Lu Chen could easily absorb any Spirit Ring.

But this time, the Spirit Ring he was absorbing was forty-eight thousand years old.

Even with level-sixty Soul Power, Lu Chen still found it quite difficult to absorb.

Fortunately, he had repeatedly exceeded his limits while absorbing Spirit Rings in the past. This had greatly strengthened his physique and given him the foundation to absorb this forty-eight-thousand-year Spirit Ring.

Time passed second by second, and Lu Chen absorbed this Spirit Ring very slowly.

Perhaps it was also related to the transformation of his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

This evolution of the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul would definitely surpass all imagination.

One hour, two hours, three hours...

After a full three hours!

At a certain instant, an invisible ripple suddenly spread from Lu Chen's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

The invisible ripple rapidly expanded, centering on Lu Chen and covering everything within several kilometers.

Within that range, all Blue Silver Grass cheered in joy, while the other plants became solemn and respectful.

They were paying tribute to the birth of a king!

That invisible ripple was the Blue Silver Domain!

At that moment, there was a boom at the mountaintop as a huge rock was blown away. Lu Chen leaped out from the hole he had dug.
