Blue Silver Emperor Evolves, Life Devours!

"Damn it! Isn't your nose as a soul beast supposed to be sharp? How did you only notice now!" Lin Hui was furious.

Xiao Wu retorted anxiously.

"You didn't notice either, so why are you blaming it all on me?"

The Marrow-Eating Burrowing Worms quickly charged toward the two of them.

"First soul skill, Waist Bow!"

Xiao Wu leaped up, flashed in front of one of the Marrow-Eating Burrowing Worms, and unleashed her Waist Bow.

However, when Xiao Wu's foot landed on the worm, it sank directly into that mass of dead flesh.

"What?" Xiao Wu was stunned.

"Go, Ah Yin!" Lin Hui threw out his Ultra Ball, and a blue light emerged from it as the Blue Silver Emperor appeared.

The Blue Silver Emperor extended its vines, bound Xiao Wu's foot, and pulled her out!

Following that, the dozen or so Marrow-Eating Burrowing Worms began their assault on Lin Hui and Xiao Wu again, leaving the two of them to dodge incessantly.

Xiao Wu tried to launch attacks, but they had no effect.

Although the Blue Silver Emperor's powerful vines could Bind several Marrow-Eating Burrowing Worms and hold them in a stalemate, they still couldn't inflict the slightest injury upon them.

Gradually, Xiao Wu's stamina began to fail, and she saw no hope of turning the tide.

"Da Ming, Er Ming... hurry and save me!" Xiao Wu murmured. In all her life, when had she ever been bullied by soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest?

Just then—

"Ah Yin, use [Thousand Blue Locking Domain]!"

Blue light began to emerge from the body of the Blue Silver Emperor. Immediately after, its numerous vines began to harden, their tips becoming sharp like spikes, resembling chains tipped with spearheads.

Then, in almost an instant.

Those blue silver chains pierced directly through the fat bodies of the dozen Marrow-Eating Burrowing Worms, and white pus began to flow from the wounds.

The two largest Marrow-Eating Burrowing Worms were still moving after being heavily wounded, preparing to burrow into the ground to escape.

Seven or eight more blue silver chain tips turned around and pierced into their bodies once again.

After this strike, they could no longer move.

They went rigid and collapsed to the ground.

Wounds as thick as buckets appeared on their fat bodies, and foul-smelling pus oozed out.

The Blue Silver Emperor withdrew its hardened chains.

After this battle, Lin Hui noticed that his Blue Silver Emperor seemed a bit different.

Because, on the corpses of the dead Marrow-Eating Burrowing Worms, white specks of light carrying the aura of life were gradually moving toward the Blue Silver Emperor.

The Blue Silver Emperor fully absorbed these life auras.

Furthermore, its color gradually shifted from light blue to a deeper hue.

At the same time, the age of Lin Hui's first soul ring began to increase.

It grew from over nine hundred years to over fifteen hundred years!

At this moment, Lin Hui suddenly recalled that during the Peerless Tang Sect era, Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass possessed the ability to devour life.

Could it be that after the battle just now, his Blue Silver Emperor had also awakened this ability?

This was likely triggered by a combination of the Blue Silver Emperor's superior racial talent and its urgent need for soul power to recover its strength.

Moreover, in the world of Pokemon, it was perfectly normal for soul beasts to evolve after being captured and fighting for a period of time.

He hadn't expected that the soul beast he captured could actually continue to evolve!

Lin Hui released his soul rings once more.

Purple, purple!

The two rings emitting purple light were exceptionally eye-catching.

"What's going on, Lin Hui? How did your soul ring age suddenly increase?" Xiao Wu asked, utterly astonished.

Lin Hui didn't intend to hide anything from her.

"Soul beasts captured by my martial soul have a chance to evolve and awaken new abilities after a certain amount of growth and combat!"

"And my Blue Silver Grass awakened the Life Devour ability after the battle just now."

"It obtained the life force of these dead soul beasts, and its soul beast age increased."

"Looking at it this way, perhaps you might awaken a new ability in the near future, too?" Lin Hui began to look Xiao Wu up and down.

Xiao Wu noticed something wrong and asked in surprise.

"This can't be an ordinary Blue Silver Grass, can it? These dozen soul beasts, ranging from two thousand to four thousand years old, were easily subdued by your Blue Silver Grass?"

"Even a Soul Ancestor would likely find it difficult to accomplish this!"

"Just what kind of monster have you captured!"

Lin Hui merely said indifferently, "Of course. The Soul Beasts I capture cannot all be trash."

The two continued to walk toward the depths of the Star Dou Forest.

Lin Hui was also pondering at the same time: since the Soul Beasts he captured could evolve, could they also learn new skills?

After all, in the world of Pokemon, Pokemon could learn new skills as they grew.

At the same time, it currently appeared that Xiao Wu's combat power was far inferior to the Blue Silver Emperor, but one could not judge everything solely by the present.

She was, after all, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast; after growing, the potential she could erupt with might not necessarily be smaller than the Blue Silver Emperor's.

What's more, Lin Hui's primary purpose in capturing Xiao Wu was still to find the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm through her.

Under Xiao Wu's guidance, they finally arrived at the core area of the Star Dou Forest, the Lake of Life.

Legend had it that the Lake of Life was the place that gave birth to all Soul Beasts, and the concentration of Soul Power within the lake water was far higher than anywhere else.

However, what surprised Lin Hui slightly was that he did not see the Sky Azure Bull Python or the Titan Giant Ape in the vicinity of the Lake of Life.

"Forget it." Lin Hui threw out an Ultra Ball again. "Ah Yin, quickly activate the surrounding Blue Silver Grass and search for any areas with abnormal Soul Power nearby."

A blue light flashed, and the Blue Silver Emperor emerged from the Ultra Ball.

It took root in the ground, and as its branches and leaves began to sway, a surge of Soul Power unique to the Blue Silver Emperor began to be released.

Under the touch of this royal aura, the surrounding Blue Silver Grass spread the word from one to ten, and ten to a hundred, one after another paying homage to the Blue Silver Emperor.

Eventually, those Blue Silver Grasses began to sway slowly, as if blown by the wind.

The Blue Silver Emperor, rooted in the ground, sensed the information transmitted from the surrounding Blue Silver Grass. After about ten minutes, the Blue Silver Emperor ceased all movement.

Then, one of its vines began to elongate, pointing directly toward the bottom of the Lake of Life.

It seems the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is most likely imprisoned at the bottom of the lake, Lin Hui thought to himself.

Soon, he took off his clothes.

"You... what are you doing?" Xiao Wu asked in surprise, immediately covering her chest.

"I need to go to the bottom of the lake to take a look; you wait for me here," Lin Hui said.

"The bottom of the lake is a forbidden area for all of us Soul Beasts; no one is allowed to enter," Xiao Wu said.

Hearing Xiao Wu say this, Lin Hui felt even more certain; there was a high probability that there was a secret there.

"I am not a Soul Beast, so just stay on the shore and wait for me."

Lin Hui jumped into the water and dove straight down.

He was already at level thirty, and his physical fitness had improved significantly after using the Green Wood Liquid.

After diving several dozen meters, Lin Hui discovered that the lake bottom was still a hundred meters deep, but he was already unable to continue diving further.

Deep at the bottom of the lake, there was a white circular formation of light, which emitted a faint glow as if it were sealing something away...
