Tenfold Growth of the Blue Silver Devouring Domain | Hundred-Year Spirit Beast Metamorphosis into Thousand-Year! (Seeking Follows)

Soul Hunting Forest, entrance.

Lin Jing stood before the tall iron gate, his gaze calm as he looked at the few guards holding long spears in front of him.

Lin Jing handed over the pass Su Yuntao had given him.

The guard took it and glanced at it, then looked him up and down. A trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes, but he did not ask any questions and opened the iron gate to let him through.

"Go on in."

Lin Jing nodded, took back his pass, and stepped into the forest.

The moment he stepped into the Soul Hunting Forest, a rich scent of wild nature rushed toward him.

The smell of damp earth mixed with the fresh fragrance of various plants made his spirit feel refreshed.

Lin Jing stood at the entrance without the slightest hesitation.

His Spirit Power surged slightly beneath his feet, and the next moment, his entire body slowly floated upward.

"100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Spirit Bone skill—Flight."

His figure swooped forward and streaked toward the depths of the Soul Hunting Forest.

The wind whistled past his ears, and the trees below retreated rapidly.

Lin Jing was not worried that flying so brazenly in the air would attract any powerful spirit beasts.

He was joking.

In a place like the Soul Hunting Forest, you could count the number of thousand-year spirit beasts on one hand.

If a blind thousand-year spirit beast really dared to show itself, he would be more than happy.

It would save him the trouble of searching for one.

As for hundred-year spirit beasts?

They were not even worth his attention.

If they insisted on rushing up to throw their lives away, Lin Jing would not mind consolidating his level 20 Spirit Power a bit more.

The area of the Soul Hunting Forest was much larger than he had imagined.

Although it was a hunting ground for spirit beasts raised by the empire, its scale was several times larger than Nuoding City.

The vast sea of forest seemed to have no end in sight.

Even with Lin Jing activating his 100,000-year spirit bone skill to fly at top speed the entire way, it still took quite a while to reach the central area of the forest.

Once here, the surrounding trees were noticeably taller and denser.

The thick trunks required several people to wrap their arms around them, and the branches and leaves blocked out the sky and sun, allowing only a few rays of light to scatter through the gaps.

Lin Jing slowly lowered his flight altitude and stopped above a relatively open clearing.

"Blue Silver Devouring Domain."

He whispered.

"Hum—"

A black halo of Spirit Power centered on his body and spread out in all directions.

Wherever it passed, the original Blue Silver Grass on the ground underwent a world-shaking change in an instant.

The silver-blue color faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, replaced by a deep, ink-like black.

Each blade of Blue Silver Grass seemed to come alive, swaying its leaves and bowing slightly in Lin Jing's direction.

Immediately after,

Streams of pure energy rose from these blades of grass that had been transformed into Dark Blue Silver Grass, flowing continuously into Lin Jing's body through the connection of the domain.

"Blue Silver Devouring Domain auxiliary spirit skill, All Rivers Run into Sea."

Previously, when his Spirit Power was only at level ten-something, the domain range could only cover a radius of ten meters.

But since breaking through to level 20, the Blue Silver Devouring Domain had also been significantly improved.

Now that the domain was expanded, it could cover a radius of one hundred meters.

Within a radius of one hundred meters, all Blue Silver Grass could be transformed into Dark Blue Silver Grass and provide him with energy.

Combined, this energy was enough to support the consumption of maintaining the Blue Silver Devouring Domain, plus the Spirit Power consumption of the 100,000-year spirit bone flight.

Not only that.

There was even a surplus.

It was slowly restoring the Spirit Power he had just consumed.

Lin Jing felt the endless supply of energy within his body, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

In this way, wouldn't he never have to worry about Spirit Power consumption when fighting in forests or the wild in the future?

Spirit Power consumption?

It didn't exist.

As long as there was Blue Silver Grass under his feet, he was equivalent to having a mobile power bank that never stopped.

Lin Jing controlled his flight altitude, neither too high nor too low, just enough to cover a large area below.

He did not fly fast; one could even say he was quite slow.

Every time he flew over an area, the Blue Silver Grass in that area would change under the shroud of the Blue Silver Devouring Domain.

The color of the grass blades deepened slightly, turning from the original silver-blue to a nearly rich black.

Dark Blue Silver Grass.

These transformed Blue Silver Grass became Lin Jing's eyes.

Any movement within a hundred-meter radius could be clearly fed back into his perception through the Dark Blue Silver Grass.

Even an ant crawling by could not escape his detection.

Using the center of the Soul Hunting Forest as his origin, he searched in circles, expanding outward.

Time passed bit by bit.

The sun gradually slanted westward, changing from the scorching noon sun to the sunset of dusk.

Lin Jing's brows, however, furrowed little by little.

After several hours, although he had discovered quite a few spirit beasts, most were hundred-year ones, and there were very few thousand-year ones.

There were only two in total.

The first was a Flame Feather Eagle, its body crimson, with faint flames burning on its feathers, its aura powerful, with about 1,100 years of cultivation.

The second was a Jade Green Vine, growing in a hidden valley, its entire body emerald green, emitting a faint jade-like luster, its aura soft and long-lasting.

If Lin Jing's attribute were not the dark attribute, that Jade Green Vine would have been a very suitable spirit ring.

It was just a pity there were no "ifs."

Lin Jing could only suppress the regret in his heart and continue to search outward.

The further he flew, the lower his expectations became.

Although the Soul Hunting Forest was not small, thousand-year spirit beasts were inherently rare.

Being able to find two was already considered good luck.

Wanting to find a third, and one that had to be of the dark attribute...

The difficulty was completely no less than him drawing Emperor Jing's fragments ten times in a row.

"If it really doesn't work, I'll just have to change locations."

Lin Jing muttered.

If he couldn't find one in the Soul Hunting Forest, he would just have to go to the Star Dou Forest to take a look.

Although it was a bit more dangerous, it was better than wasting time here.

He was just thinking about this, preparing to expand the search range one more circle, and if there was still nothing, he would have to head home.

Just then—

Lin Jing suddenly paused, stopping in mid-air.

The expression on his face changed slightly.

Because in his perception, that is, in the information transmitted back through the Dark Blue Silver Grass...

Fifty meters to the east, a strong energy fluctuation suddenly erupted.

That fluctuation was very special, cold, eerie, and carried an aura that devoured everything.

Its strength fluctuated between weak and strong.

If his guess was correct, this spirit beast was undergoing a metamorphosis from a hundred years to a thousand years!

Lin Jing's eyes lit up instantly.

He had just been complaining about the difficulty of drawing Emperor Jing's fragments ten times in a row, and he ran into this?

This luck...

Lin Jing found it hard to believe.

"Go over and take a look first."

Thinking of this, Lin Jing no longer hesitated.

He adjusted his direction and flew rapidly toward the direction where the energy fluctuation was coming from on the east side.

His heart was filled with anticipation.
