Breakthrough to Soul King!

Gray One nodded slightly, his body once again transforming into a wisp of gray mist, silently merging into Lin Ye's shadow and disappearing without a trace.

If Lin Ye hadn't been able to clearly sense the mental connection between himself and the other, he would never have discovered that a Ultimate Douluo was hidden in his shadow.

Lin Ye nodded in satisfaction.

With Gray One around, even if Titled Douluo comes to kill him personally, he can rest easy.

Although he had Level Nine Soul Guidance Device for protection, Level Nine Soul Guidance Device can at most withstand the attacks of Super Douluo.

If a Ultimate Douluo were to appear, my Level Nine Soul Guidance Device wouldn't be enough.

Now that's good; at least apart from the gods, I'm invincible on this continent.

Having resolved the puppet issue, Lin Ye's gaze once again fell upon the three Million-Year Soul Ring that were quietly floating in his mind.

The Soul Ring was entirely golden, with complex and mysterious patterns Entanglement around it, exuding an ancient and majestic aura.

"Wang Dong'er has disappeared. I guess no one will be back tonight, so it's good that no one will bother us."

Lin Ye closed the door, locked it, and then sat cross-legged on the bed. "First, break through to level forty and become a true Soul Ancestor."

With a thought, he took out his first Million-Year Soul Ring.

The dark golden Soul Ring slowly descended upon his head. There was no excruciating pain like when absorbing Soul Ring in the original story, no earth-shattering phenomena, and not even a trace of Soul Power fluctuation was emitted.

The Million-Year Soul Ring, like a drop of water falling into the ocean, silently merged into his First Martial Soul.

Lin Ye clearly felt that his Soul Power bottleneck was easily pierced as if it were made of paper, and his Soul Power, which was originally stuck at level 39, began to grow slowly and steadily.

"As expected, the Soul Ring produced by the system are different; even the absorption is so smooth."

Lin Ye grinned, recalling how Huo Yuhao almost died when absorbing Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring in the original novel, and felt even more smug.

"Next, it's time to extract and store Soul Power."

Lin Ye's eyes narrowed as he selected the long-accumulated ball of Soul Power in his mind.

I had previously accumulated 6 levels of Soul Power, and this Ten-Thousandfold Critical Hit gave me another 6 levels, bringing my total to a full 12 levels of Soul Power!

"Extract all!"

boom--

A surge of Soul Power, as powerful as a tsunami, erupted from his dantian and surged wildly into all the meridians of his body.

The originally wide meridians were actually slightly swollen under the impact of this terrifying Soul Power.

Before he could react, he instantly subdued the raging Soul Power.

This is clearly a perk from the system; when extracting and storing Soul Power, one can increase their strength without any risk.

In less than a minute.

Level 41!

Level 45!

Level 48!

Level 49!

Lin Ye's Soul Power Level soared all the way up, eventually settling steadily at the peak of level 49, just one step away from becoming a level 50 Soul King.

"Cool!"

Lin Ye clenched his fist, feeling the surging Soul Power within his body, and felt his whole body filled with strength.

He achieved in just one minute what others would spend years painstakingly cultivating to reach a higher level.

"Since we're already here, let's go all out and Soul-Breaking King realm!"

Without hesitation, Lin Ye took out the second Million-Year Soul Ring.

In the same quiet and natural manner, the bottleneck at level 50 was broken through.

His immense Soul Power surged once more, eventually settling at level 51.

Lin Ye slowly opened his eyes, two sharp glints flashing in them.

He clenched his fist lightly, his bones cracking and popping, his physical strength alone was several times greater than before.

"In one night, he went from a level 39 Soul Elder to a level 51 Soul King."

Lin Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud, "If you told anyone, probably no one would believe it. Huo Yuhao, that cheat code, isn't as outrageous as me, right?"

He stretched his limbs, feeling an unprecedented surge of power within him, before finally fixing his gaze on the last reward.

The Third Martial Soul – Void Devouring Flame.

Lin Ye's eyes burned with intensity.

The second- Heavenly Flame Ranking in Battle Through the Heavens, known as the Supreme of All Flames, capable of devouring everything under heaven.

Although nominally ranked below Emperor Flame, Emperor Flame evolved step by step by devouring other Heavenly Flames.

In terms of innate strength, the Void Devouring Flame is truly the number one on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.

"I wonder how powerful this Heavenly Flames will be in the Douluo Continent."

Lin Ye took a deep breath and selected the [Activate Third Martial Soul] button in his mind.

There were no towering black flames as I had imagined, nor any earth-shattering phenomena.

The moment it was activated, Lin Ye felt a slight heat in his eyes, and two extremely tiny, jet-black flames flashed past deep within his pupils, so fast that they were almost imperceptible.

He opened his right hand, a thought forming in his mind.

A black flame silently appeared in his palm.

This flame had no temperature or light; instead, it was like a black hole, frantically devouring the surrounding light, air, and even the wandering Soul Power.

The edges of the flames constantly distorted space, emitting a faint sizzling sound, as if they were about to burn through the very fabric of space.

It burned quietly, yet exuded a terrifying aura capable of destroying everything, making one's soul tremble at just a glance.

Lin Ye curiously stretched out his left hand and gently touched the black flame in his palm.

There was no burning sensation, nor any pain. The Void Devouring Flame was as docile as an extension of his body.

He casually picked up a ceramic water glass from the table and threw it at the black flames.

The moment the cup touched the flame, it vanished without a trace, not even lasting a second, leaving no ashes or even a ripple of energy.

It was as if that water glass had never existed.

Then he picked up a steel spoon.

The same result occurred: the spoon was completely devoured the moment it came into contact with the Void Devouring Flame, transforming into a tiny wisp of Soul Power that merged into his body.

"Awesome! Absolutely awesome!"

Lin Ye was so excited he almost jumped up. "From now on, when I fight, I won't need to use any Soul Skill at all. I can just throw out the Void Devouring Flame, and it won't matter what kind of Soul Skill, Soul Bone, or Martial Soul you have, it will devour them all!"

With a thought, the black flames in his palm slowly dissipated.

[Hahaha! This is so awesome!]

[I just summoned the puppet, that level 99 Ultimate Douluo Puppet! It looks like an ordinary old man, and everything else is fine, but unfortunately it can't speak, it's mute.]

But it's okay, as long as I can fight!

From now on, I won't be afraid of a Titled Douluo or Super Douluo suddenly appearing and slapping me to death. If anyone dares to ambush me, Gray One just slap them to death!

[Also, I broke through! I broke through to level 40 with my first Million-Year Soul Ring, and then extracted all the level 12 Soul Power I had accumulated!]

After reaching level 49, he used a Million-Year Soul Ring to directly Soul-Breaking King level!

I'm now a level 51 Soul King! Hahahaha!
