The Blue Silver Devouring Domain Grows Tenfold | A Hundred-Year Soul Beast Transforms into a Thousand-Year One! (Please Read)

At the entrance to the Soul Hunting Forest.

Lin Jing stood before the towering iron gate, calmly watching several guards holding spears.

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

The guard took it and glanced over it, then looked him up and down. A flicker of suspicion crossed his eyes, but he didn't ask any questions. He opened the iron gate and let Lin Jing through.

"Go on in."

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

The moment he entered the Soul Hunting Forest, a rich breath of wild nature washed over him.

The scent of damp earth mingled with the fragrance of all kinds of plants, lifting his spirits.

Lin Jing stood at the entrance without the slightest hesitation.

Soul Power stirred beneath his feet, and in the next instant, he slowly floated into the air.

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

He leaned forward and shot off, flying toward the depths of the Soul Hunting Forest.

The wind roared past his ears as the trees below raced backward.

Lin Jing wasn't worried that flying so openly through the sky would attract some powerful Soul Beast.

As if.

In a place like the Soul Hunting Forest, you could count the thousand-year Soul Beasts on one hand.

If some foolish thousand-year Soul Beast dared to show itself, he'd be more than happy.

It would save him the trouble of searching.

As for hundred-year Soul Beasts?

He didn't take them seriously.

If one insisted on rushing over to die, Lin Jing wouldn't mind consolidating his twentieth level of Soul Power.

The Soul Hunting Forest was considerably larger than he'd imagined.

Though it was a hunting ground where the Empire raised Soul Beasts, it covered several times the area of Nuoding City.

The vast sea of trees stretched beyond sight.

Even with Lin Jing channeling his 100,000-Year Soul Bone Skill the whole way and flying as fast as he could, it still took him quite a while to reach the forest's central region.

Here, the trees grew noticeably taller and denser.

Several people would have needed to join hands to encircle the thick trunks. The branches and leaves blotted out the sky, allowing only a few stray shafts of sunlight to filter through.

Lin Jing slowly descended and stopped above a relatively open clearing.

"Blue Silver Devouring Domain."

He spoke softly.

"Vmm—"

A black halo of Soul Power spread out from his body in every direction.

Everywhere it passed, the Blue Silver Grass on the ground underwent a dramatic transformation.

Its silver-blue color faded at a visible pace, replaced by a deep, inky black.

The Blue Silver Grass seemed to come alive. Its leaves swayed as it bowed slightly toward Lin Jing.

Then,

Streams of pure energy rose from the blades of grass now transformed into Dark Blue Silver Grass. Following the domain's connection, they poured into Lin Jing without end.

"Blue Silver Devouring Domain's attached Soul Skill, All Rivers Run into Sea."

Back when his Soul Power was only in the teens, the domain could cover just ten meters in every direction.

But ever since he broke through to level twenty, the Blue Silver Devouring Domain had improved tremendously.

Now, once deployed, the domain could cover a hundred meters in every direction.

All Blue Silver Grass within that hundred-meter radius could be transformed into Dark Blue Silver Grass and provide him with energy.

Together, that energy was enough to sustain the Blue Silver Devouring Domain's drain, along with the Soul Power consumed by flying with the 100,000-Year Soul Bone.

Not only that.

There was even energy to spare.

It was slowly replenishing the Soul Power he'd just spent.

Feeling the steady stream of energy replenishing him, Lin Jing's lips curved slightly upward.

From now on, as long as he fought in a forest or out in the wild, wouldn't he have to worry about Soul Power consumption?

Soul Power running low?

Not a chance.

As long as there was Blue Silver Grass beneath his feet, it was like having an endlessly operating portable charger.

Lin Jing controlled his flying height, keeping it neither too high nor too low, just enough to cover a broad area below.

He flew slowly—very slowly, in fact.

Whenever he passed over an area, the Blue Silver Grass there changed beneath the Blue Silver Devouring Domain's embrace.

The color of the blades deepened, shifting from their original silver-blue to an almost inky black.

Dark Blue Silver Grass.

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

Every rustle within a hundred meters was relayed clearly to his senses through the Dark Blue Silver Grass.

Not even an ant crawling by could escape his detection.

Starting from the center of the Soul Hunting Forest, he searched outward, expanding his sweep in circles.

Time passed, little by little.

The sun gradually slanted westward, changing from the midday glare to the dusk-lit evening sun.

Lin Jing's brow, however, furrowed bit by bit.

After several hours, he'd found quite a few Soul Beasts, but most were hundred-year ones. There were very few thousand-year ones.

Only two in all.

The first was a Flame Feather Eagle, its body scarlet, faint flames burning across its feathers. Its aura was powerful, and its cultivation was around 1,100 years.

The second was a Jade Green Vine, growing in a secluded valley. It was emerald green all over, and it gave off a faint jade-like luster. Its aura was gentle and unhurried.

If Lin Jing didn't have a Dark attribute, the Jade Green Vine would have made a very suitable Spirit Ring.

Unfortunately, there was no if.

Lin Jing could only suppress his regret and keep searching outward.

The farther he flew, the lower his expectations sank.

The Soul Hunting Forest might have been large, but thousand-year Soul Beasts were rare to begin with.

Finding two was already a stroke of good luck.

Finding a third, and one with a Dark attribute at that...

That would be no easier than pulling Emperor Jing's shards ten times in a row.

"If things don't work out, I'll have to go somewhere else."

Lin Jing muttered to himself.

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

It would be more dangerous, but still better than wasting time here.

As he thought this, he prepared to widen his search by another circle. If he still found nothing, he'd have to head back.

Just then—

Lin Jing suddenly stopped in midair.

His expression shifted slightly.

According to his senses—in other words, the information relayed through the Dark Blue Silver Grass—

Fifty meters to the east, a powerful surge of energy suddenly erupted.

The energy was unusual: cold, sinister, and carrying the sense of something devouring everything in its path.

Its strength fluctuated wildly.

If his guess was right, this Soul Beast was undergoing a transformation from a hundred-year Soul Beast into a thousand-year one!

Lin Jing's eyes lit up at once.

He'd just been grumbling about the odds of pulling Emperor Jing's shards ten times in a row, and now he'd run into one?

This luck...

Lin Jing could hardly believe it.

"I'll go take a look first."

With that, Lin Jing didn't hesitate.

He changed direction and swiftly flew toward the source of the energy surge to the east.

His heart was full of anticipation.
