Tang Hao's Broken Defense

It could be said that the Blue Silver King's innate Spirit Ring was absolutely the best possible First Spirit Ring.

Moreover.

As the inheritor of the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, the Blue Silver King would certainly be willing to sacrifice itself upon seeing him.

This was determined by the bloodline power of the Blue Silver Grass clan.

The only thing Zhou Tao needed to be wary of was whether he would encounter powerful Spirit Beasts while searching for the Blue Silver King.

"Now that I can fly, as long as I don't provoke any powerful Spirit Beasts, there shouldn't be much of a problem."

Blue-gold light emerged from Zhou Tao's leg.

Then.

His body slowly rose from the ground.

Sure enough.

The Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone was a flying Spirit Bone, and it possessed the ability: Wildfires Cannot Burn It Away, Spring Breezes Bring It Back to Life!

"Wonderful. After the Ancient Tree of Life evolved, its vitality became incredibly abundant. Together with my healing skill, my ability to survive has greatly improved."

"All I need is a Blue Silver King to completely obtain the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline."

The Ancient Tree of Life evolved by absorbing the origin of life.

The stronger the vitality contained in that origin, the more it benefited the Ancient Tree of Life's evolution.

The Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline was absolutely a tremendous tonic.

Zhou Tao decided to strike while the iron was hot and completely claim the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline.

That way, no unexpected changes could arise in the meantime.

As for what Tang Hao might think, Zhou Tao could not care less.

And what would happen after Tang Bie San lost the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline?

What else could happen?

His Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul would definitely be ruined.

By then, Tang Bie San and Gangzi would surely turn on each other. That would be quite a spectacle.

As the sky gradually brightened, Zhou Tao left the cave, headed into town beneath the rising sun, hired a carriage, and set off for the Star Dou Great Forest.

Holy Soul Village.

The disheveled Tang Hao walked into the empty house.

The room was covered in dust.

Everything looked exactly as it had when he left.

Yet for some reason, a faint sense of unease surfaced in his heart.

This feeling had persisted ever since he entered the Soul Hunting Forest.

Tang Hao had initially thought Tang San was in danger.

But after Tang San returned, the feeling only grew stronger.

Something was wrong!

Since Tang San was fine, it had to be Ah Yin!

Tang Hao immediately sprang into action.

But he could not quite remember the path up the back mountain.

After all.

He had not been to the back mountain in six years.

As for whether Ah Yin would die after being locked inside that pitch-black stone chamber?

Tang Hao did not care.

The Blue Silver Emperor had strong vitality, so she probably would not die.

If worse came to worst, he could simply find the Blue Silver King.

She was just a tool anyway.

When he staggered into the cave.

Tang Hao was shocked to discover.

Ah Yin was gone!

The pit where Ah Yin had originally been buried was empty. His wife was gone!

And that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone had vanished as well.

He had painstakingly plotted against Ah Yin and sacrificed her life to obtain that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and the Seed of Life!

Those two treasures could allow Tang San to go even further!

Now, both treasures were gone!

Without Ah Yin's treasures, how was he supposed to seek revenge on Spirit Hall?

Tang Hao stood where he was as a terrifying aura erupted from his body.

His eyes turned bloodshot, and he panted like an ox!

Like a madman, Tang Hao scanned his surroundings, seemingly trying to find the slightest clue.

In the end.

His gaze locked onto a chrysanthemum on the ground.

"Chrysanthemum Douluo! Spirit Hall!"

"Fine! So this was your doing!"

In his crazed state, Tang Hao had thrown away his brain. He would not carefully consider whether an ordinary chrysanthemum and the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum were the same thing.

But Tang Hao could not think that much.

He clenched his fist and crushed the chrysanthemum into powder.

He and Spirit Hall already shared a blood feud. It was perfectly reasonable that Spirit Hall had discovered the Blue Silver Emperor's trail and taken her away!

"Spirit Hall, I'm going to destroy all of you right now!"

"Ah Yin, I'm sorry!"

"I let you fall victim to Spirit Hall's vicious hands!"

"I'm useless... useless!"

Tang Hao's voice became increasingly hysterical before finally turning hoarse. He dropped to his knees.

He knelt there for a long time, only slowly rising when the light above his head had faded away.

His eyes remained crimson, but the madness had receded.

In its place was a terrifying, deathly calm.

Investigate!

He had to investigate this to the end!

Even if he had to search all of Douluo Continent, he would find Ah Yin!

And beat that Ju Hua Guan to death!

Several days later.

Following the bloodline guidance within his Martial Soul, Zhou Tao arrived at an unknown ancient forest.

There was an enormous amount of Blue Silver Grass here, forming an ocean-like expanse. Every stalk was tall and thick.

As far as the eye could see was an ancient primeval forest, untouched by human presence.

The moment he stepped into this place, he felt an instinctive familiarity wash over him.

It was as though all the Blue Silver Grass in the forest was bowing and worshipping him with utmost reverence.

This was the resonance of bloodlines.

At that moment.

A voice carrying a faint tremor, as if it had come from the endless depths, rang out in Zhou Tao's mind.

"Emperor... great Emperor!"

"Is it truly you?"

"You have finally come here!"

"Please come to me."

Zhou Tao knew that this was the Blue Silver King's call.

He leisurely stepped into this sea of Blue Silver Grass.

The instant Zhou Tao entered the Blue Silver Forest, the Blue Silver Grass beneath his feet swayed aside, automatically parting as though answering some summons. Trembling lightly, it lowered itself in greeting, like it was welcoming the return of a new emperor.

Before long, Zhou Tao saw an exceptionally ancient vine.

An aged face slowly emerged from the center of the vine. Its brows and eyes were gentle as it looked at Zhou Tao kindly.

"Great Emperor, you have finally come!"

"The children of the Blue Silver Grass clan have waited for you for a full six years!"

The aged face trembled slightly, every word it uttered carrying irrepressible excitement.

Ever since the previous Blue Silver Emperor passed away, the entire Blue Silver Grass clan had lost its pillar and lived in constant unease.

For some unknown reason, after the previous Blue Silver Emperor took human form, she had insisted on sacrificing herself for a human.

As a result, the Blue Silver Grass clan had lost its emperor.

Without an emperor, the Blue Silver Grass clan's combat power had been greatly diminished.

Had the Blue Silver King not shouldered the burden, the Blue Silver Grass ancestral land would likely have suffered devastating damage.

After expressing its feelings, the Blue Silver King's expression suddenly became solemn.

"I wonder whether Your Majesty is willing to protect your people as the previous Emperor did?"

"I am!"

Zhou Tao nodded without the slightest hesitation.

It was admittedly strange to say such things, considering he was a human rather than a Spirit Beast.

But since he had inherited the Blue Silver Emperor's legacy, he naturally had to shoulder its responsibilities.

Zhou Tao was someone with professional integrity.

He would not go back on his word.

"Great Emperor, if that is so, then please accept the blessings of your people."

Upon receiving Zhou Tao's answer, the Blue Silver King was equally straightforward.

The outcome was already decided. As long as the Blue Silver Grass clan could remain safe, it made no difference who became emperor.

Buzz!

The instant the Blue Silver King finished speaking, deep within the Blue Silver Forest, tens of thousands of Blue Silver Grass plants began swaying at once, as though welcoming the arrival of some sacred moment.
