Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, completely enveloped by the Blue Silver Spirit-Gathering Array, were stunned.

They were submerged in an energy tide like a surging sea.

Even before they began meditating.

The Soul Power within their bodies was already increasing at a visible rate.

The two girls immediately sat cross-legged and began cultivating.

"Wow, this speed is incredible! It feels amazing!"

Xiao Wu was completely immersed in it and unable to pull herself away.

"If I could cultivate in an environment like this every day, I don't think breaking through five levels in a year would be difficult at all."

Ning Rongrong also sighed in amazement.

After absorbing her first Spirit Ring, she had already reached the peak of Level 11.

Now, with the help of the spirit-gathering array.

She felt that the threshold to Level 12 was right before her.

With a little more effort, she might break through at any moment.

And so, after ten minutes had passed.

Neither of them had any intention of leaving.

Tang Chuan, meanwhile, shook his head with a sly grin.

Then he abruptly withdrew the Blue Silver Spirit-Gathering Array.

Without the amplification from the spirit-gathering array.

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong returned to cultivating at a snail's pace.

They immediately felt an emptiness in their hearts.

The two of them looked toward Tang Chuan at the same time.

A trace of grievance appeared in their sparkling eyes.

"Brother Tang Chuan, don't take it away. That feeling of almost flying just now was so wonderful. Give Xiao Wu a little more, okay?"

With tears shimmering in her eyes, Xiao Wu grabbed Tang Chuan's left hand.

"Brother Chuan, Rongrong's about to break."

"My body feels so strange."

"Rongrong can't leave Brother's spirit-gathering array anymore."

"Please, as long as you're willing to give it to Rongrong, Rongrong is willing to do anything."

Ning Rongrong truly felt awful.

She was only a single step away from Level 12.

At most, another ten-odd minutes would let her break through.

Tang Chuan had truly seized her weakness this time.

The Soul-Eating Ant Emperor was indeed one of the kings of the Heavy Ant tribe.

Relying only on its cultivation of over nine hundred years and its Soul-Eating Domain.

It had heavily injured several thousand-year Soul Beasts that Lan Yin had lured over using Blue Silver Grass.

But as the saying went, even an iron body could not endure nonstop labor.

After twenty consecutive days of harassment.

The Soul-Eating Ant Emperor was also nearing its limit, its body covered in wounds.

Just when it was almost despairing.

The precious herb finally matured, and its rich fragrance began spreading through the surroundings.

The Soul-Eating Ant Emperor was overjoyed, feeling that all the hardships of the past several days had finally paid off.

It seized the herb in its jaws and turned to flee.

Leaving the Soul Beasts drawn by the fragrance behind.

After spending a full three hours.

The Soul-Eating Ant Emperor finally found a hidden cave with no Soul Beasts active nearby.

It prepared to properly consume its spoils of war.

It had a vague feeling.

That as long as it could absorb the herb.

Not only could it break through the thousand-year bottleneck.

Even reaching fifteen hundred years might not be impossible.

The Soul-Eating Ant Emperor pinned down the herb tightly, then excitedly used its powerful, thick serrated mandibles to chew through the herb's roots and begin drawing out its nutrients.

Just as it was enjoying itself.

A small jade-white hand descended from the void and struck down with its palm.

The Soul-Eating Ant Emperor immediately let out a shrill scream and lost consciousness in an instant.

Only a few minutes later.

Lan Yin returned to Tang Chuan's side with the half-dead Soul-Eating Ant Emperor.

"You've worked hard."

Tang Chuan played with the dagger in his hand and nodded at Lan Yin.

"Is there still enough time?" Lan Yin sat down beside him.

"Just wait another four minutes."

Tang Chuan could clearly see the herb's energy merging into the Spirit Ring.

As soon as four minutes were up.

His hand rose and fell, plunging the dagger into the Soul-Eating Ant Emperor's brain.

Within only a few breaths.

A yellow-and-purple Spirit Ring gradually emerged.

Tang Chuan summoned his Blue Silver Grass and began absorbing the Soul-Eating Ant Emperor's Spirit Ring.

A Spirit Ring infinitely close to a thousand years naturally exerted no small amount of pressure, making Tang Chuan frown slightly.

But fortunately.

The Immortal Herb medicinal baths and Thousand-Year Whale Glue Lan Yin had brought him had already enhanced his physical condition.

Together with the terrifying recovery power of the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone skill of the Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone, "Wildfire Cannot Burn It All; Spring Breezes Bring It Back to Life."

No matter how unwilling the Soul-Eating Ant Emperor was, it ultimately could not affect Tang Chuan.

In the end.

This Soul-Eating Ant Emperor, which possessed tremendous potential to become a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in the future.

Fell at Tang Chuan's hands just like that.

Seeing his expression gradually relax.

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong knew that Tang Chuan had successfully passed the most difficult stage.

The two exchanged glances and smiled.

By the time Tang Chuan had completely absorbed the Spirit Ring.

Time had passed from the first day's dusk to the second day's noon.

The three girls watched as the purple Spirit Ring merged into the Dark Blue Silver Grass, and their suspended hearts finally settled.

"I wonder how much Brother Chuan's Soul Power Level will rise after absorbing this thousand-year Spirit Ring?"

"I just hope he doesn't leave us too far behind."

Ning Rongrong patted her chest. Feeling the faint, indistinct pressure emanating from Tang Chuan.

She could not help but pull Xiao Wu protectively in front of her.

Hearing this, Lan Yin pondered briefly.

If it were merely ordinary Blue Silver Grass, with the enhancement of a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone and a thousand-year Spirit Ring.

Even directly breaking through to Level 20 would not be a problem.

However, Tang Chuan's Blue Silver Grass was in a state of partial bloodline awakening.

Each level gave him greater benefits than an ordinary Soul Master would gain upon breaking through.

Therefore.

The Soul Power required for each level he raised would also be greater than that of an ordinary Soul Master.

Thus, Lan Yin estimated that Tang Chuan's current cultivation was most likely around Level 17 to Level 18.

Before long, Tang Chuan slowly opened his eyes.

He flipped his palm.

A stalk of Dark Blue Silver Grass encircled by a vivid purple Spirit Ring appeared in his hand.

After absorbing the ultimate darkness attribute, the appearance of the Blue Silver Grass had undergone an earth-shaking transformation.

It was an incomparably deep purplish-black, like a halo lurking in the darkness, exuding a mysterious yet chilling beauty.

"Brother Tang Chuan, what is your first soul skill?"

The moment Xiao Wu saw Tang Chuan open his eyes, she could not help asking.

Tang Chuan blinked, and an inexplicable smile gradually appeared on his face.

"I might not be able to explain it clearly with words alone. How about you and Rongrong try it together?"

"Sure, no problem."

Xiao Wu had trained with Lan Yin during this period and improved considerably, so she was extremely confident.

Thus, the bewildered Ning Rongrong was dragged into battle just like that.

As soon as the battle began.

Tang Chuan stood still with his arms crossed, while a black domain spread outward from beneath his feet.

It directly covered the ground beneath the two girls' feet.

"What is this?"

Xiao Wu was somewhat surprised, but seeing that it had no effect on her, she did not pay it any mind.

"Xiao Wu, I'll support you."

"Seven Treasures Turn to Glazed! First: Strength!"

Ning Rongrong immediately summoned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and circulated her Soul Power to enhance Xiao Wu.

However, just after she finished releasing her first Spirit Ring.

A wave of drowsiness swept over her.

She could not help saying, "Xiao Wu..."

"What is it?"

Xiao Wu was just about to show off her skills. When she heard Rongrong call her, she turned around to look.

"...Good night."

Ning Rongrong collapsed and fell asleep.

As the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda vanished, the enhancement was immediately cut off.

Xiao Wu: "???"

Tang Chuan waved at Xiao Wu.

"This is my domain skill."

"Soul-Devouring Domain."

"It can absorb the physical strength, Soul Power, or life force of enemy targets within the domain through my will."

"At the same time, it inflicts them with negative statuses such as—paralysis, sleep, poisoning, dizziness, silence, and lust."

"Now, you're the only one left."
