The bottom of the sinkhole was deathly silent.

Qin Chuan hovered above the sinkhole, his Six Paths Reincarnation Eye scanning the depths below.

The spatial storm from moments ago had swallowed nearly everything, even reducing the corpse of the Golden-Patterned Sword-Toothed Tiger to nothingness.

Could the spirit ring have been swallowed by the spatial rift too? Qin Chuan's heart skipped a beat.

If that were the case, all his efforts would have been in vain, and he would have nearly lost his life for nothing.

Just as he was fretting, a strange glow flickered stubbornly at the very bottom of the sinkhole within the vision of his Reincarnation Eye.

The light was as deep as the night sky and as black as ink jade.

It was the spirit ring!

Joy surged in Qin Chuan's heart, and with a single movement, he descended to the bottom of the sinkhole.

He saw a pitch-black spirit ring, its surface seemingly flowing with countless stars, floating quietly half a meter above the ground.

Its aura was more powerful than any ten-thousand-year spirit ring Qin Chuan had ever seen; that restrained yet sharp energy felt as if it could transform into peerless sword qi at any moment and tear everything apart.

A twenty-five-thousand-year spirit ring—it truly is different.

Qin Chuan reached out and gently touched the black spirit ring.

A cold, sharp energy instantly traveled from his fingertips, sending a jolt through his spirit.

He could feel that this spirit ring contained the purest origin power of the Golden-Patterned Sword-Toothed Tiger: the Geng Metal Qi and the killing Sword Intent.

This was exactly the nourishment the Zhu Xian Sword needed!

Qin Chuan did not hesitate; he sat cross-legged and began to guide this powerful spirit ring.

He took a deep breath, his spiritual power extending like tentacles to Bind the black spirit ring.

"Hum!"

The spirit ring vibrated violently, and a mental shockwave filled with brutality, defiance, and boundless killing intent surged along Qin Chuan's spiritual power, slamming fiercely into his mind!

"Roar!"

A golden giant tiger phantom, towering between heaven and earth, roared within his sea of consciousness, attempting to tear the soul of this intruder into pieces.

This was the remnant will of the Golden-Patterned Sword-Toothed Tiger!

Qin Chuan began to absorb this spirit ring.

And this spirit ring belonged to the Zhu Xian Sword—a twenty-five-thousand-year black spirit ring!

For a spirit master's first spirit ring to be at the ten-thousand-year level was unheard of in the history of the Douluo Continent!

As the spirit ring settled upon him, a massive, unimaginably pure energy surged through the Zhu Xian Sword and flooded into Qin Chuan's limbs and bones like a torrent!

This energy was like a red-hot iron ball suddenly plunged into a cold lake.

"Sizzle!"

Qin Chuan's body instantly erupted with unbearable, excruciating pain!

His skin turned bright red, veins bulged beneath his skin like coiling dragons, and his entire skeletal structure groaned under the overwhelming pressure.

The energy of a twenty-five-thousand-year spirit ring was simply too vast and too violent for a level 50 Spirit Sect!

That peerless, sharp Geng Metal Qi rampaged through his meridians, acting like countless tiny blades, frantically slicing through everything inside him.

Beads of sweat the size of peas seeped from Qin Chuan's forehead, only to be instantly evaporated into white mist by the high temperature radiating from his body.

His body trembled violently, and his teeth chattered as he clenched his jaw.

Qin Chuan circulated his internal spirit power, attempting to guide and tame that violent energy.

But his spirit power was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in the face of that massive torrent of energy; it had no effect whatsoever.

At this moment, a cool and pure Heavenly Dao Power surged from his eyes, flowing through his entire body like sweet nectar.

The moment the violent Geng Metal Qi touched the Heavenly Dao Power, it was as if it had met its nemesis, instantly becoming docile.

The Heavenly Dao Power acted like a highly efficient purifier and converter.

It washed and refined the massive spirit ring energy over and over, stripping away all impurities and brutal intent, leaving only the purest origin power.

Then, it slowly injected this power into Qin Chuan's spirit power.

Qin Chuan's tense body finally began to relax.

The heart-wrenching pain was rapidly receding, replaced by an unprecedented, transformative sense of relief.

He could clearly feel his spirit power skyrocketing at a rocket-like speed.

Level fifty-one!

Level fifty-two!

Level fifty-three!

Level fifty-five!

About twenty minutes later, as the last sliver of spirit ring energy was completely absorbed, Qin Chuan slowly opened his eyes.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes still lingering with a trace of lingering fear.

This Golden-Patterned Sword-Toothed Tiger's spirit ring was far more violent than I imagined. Its strength is definitely a cut above ordinary spirit beasts of the same level! If it weren't for the Six Paths Reincarnation Eye, I really might have been done for this time.

Qin Chuan stood up, feeling the surging, ocean-like spirit power within his body, and a smile involuntarily curled the corners of his lips.

Level 55!

By absorbing just this one spirit ring, his spirit power level had soared directly from level 50 to level 55!

Five levels in one go!

If this were to get out, the worldview of that "master of theory," Yu Xiaogang, would probably be shattered to pieces.

With a thought, Qin Chuan summoned the Zhu Xian Sword, now adorned with a black spirit ring, back into his hand.

He could feel that this sword was already completely different from before.

Beyond the original dragon-scale patterns on the blade, there was now a faint layer of golden light, and its aura of sharpness was several times stronger than before!

Let's test the new spirit skill. Gripping the sword, Qin Chuan channeled his spirit power into it.

The first spirit ring of the Zhu Xian Sword, that twenty-five-thousand-year-old black ring, suddenly flared with light!

Qin Chuan didn't perform any complex movements; he simply swung vertically at the open space in front of him!

Hum!

A fifty-meter-long, solid-looking gray sword shadow detached from the blade of the Zhu Xian Sword, carrying a terrifying momentum that seemed to tear everything apart as it crashed down!

"Boom!"

Amidst the deafening roar, a terrifying, bottomless sword scar fifty meters long was carved straight into the cliff face on the other side of the sinkhole!

The edges of the cut were as smooth as a mirror!

Qin Chuan's pupils constricted. Before he could even recover from his shock, he casually unleashed a horizontal slash.

"Swish!"

Another fifty-meter-long gray sword shadow, like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, swept across the ground.

Within the fan-shaped range, every protruding rock and broken tree root was severed at the waist in an instant!

The cuts were equally smooth!

"Excellent!" Qin Chuan couldn't help but let out a low shout, his eyes filled with wild joy.

He withdrew his spirit power, and the Zhu Xian Sword in his hand vanished along with it.

Spirit power transformed into a sword shadow, the attack range is massive, and the power... is terrifying! I shall call this move 'Sword Intent'.

This was his first true offensive spirit skill!

He was no longer the "lullaby master" that Yu Xiaogang had originally planned for him to be.

Originally, Qin Chuan intended to strike while the iron was hot and continue deeper into the forest to hunt for the second spirit ring for the Zhu Xian Sword.

But he suddenly thought of another, more important matter.

A matter that would make that hypocrite Tang San wish he were dead!

Holy Soul Village, the waterfall behind the mountain.

The hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor, A Yin!

Hmm, the upgrade method for the Six Paths Reincarnation Eye leans toward these things. Blue Silver Emperor, here I come!

Thinking of this, a cold arc appeared on the corners of Qin Chuan's lips.

He identified his direction, his figure flashed, and he sped off toward the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest.
