1,500 Years—Creating History on Douluo Continent!

The two of them followed the direction the tiger's roar had come from, moving swiftly through the mountain forest.

As they drew closer and closer to the source of the sound, "We should be nearly there."

Zhu Fan turned his head then and cautiously reminded Dai Chengfeng, "Chengfeng, don't leave your uncle's side later."

"Although, logically speaking, there shouldn't be any overly powerful Soul Beasts in the Tiger Might Mountain Range, it never hurts to be prepared."

Dai Chengfeng nodded, and the two continued forward.

After roughly Half Zhuan Xiang, A valley with slightly low-lying terrain appeared ahead of them.

And within the valley, blood tigers with powerful builds, fur as crimson as fresh blood, and bloodthirsty auras that made one's hair stand on end were lazily scattered across every corner.

There were at least over a thousand of them.

Dai Chengfeng looked at the dense mass of blood tigers before him, and a trace of delight flashed through his eyes. "With such a huge blood tiger tribe, after accumulating for decades or even a century, there should be an Emperor Blood Tiger among them, right?"

As he spoke, Dai Chengfeng turned his head to look at Zhu Fan beside him and said softly, "Uncle, sense it and see whether there's an Emperor Blood Tiger among them."

Zhu Fan nodded. "All right."

"Second Soul Skill, Spirit Cat Perception!"

In an instant, a spirit ring beneath Zhu Fan's feet flashed and vanished. At the same time, the Soul Power around him slowly surged through the air like ripples, spreading outward in circle after circle until it covered the entire valley.

After roughly a Zhan Cha, a sharp glint flashed in Zhu Fan's eyes.

His finger shot up and pointed toward a cave not far away that was almost completely hidden by shadows.

Although he could not see what was actually inside the cave, his tone was certain. "Chengfeng, it seems our luck isn't bad!"

"There's a dignified aura in that cave that's similar to an ordinary blood tiger's, yet also extremely special. It must be the Emperor Blood Tiger you need."

However, very soon, Zhu Fan's brows furrowed tightly again, and he looked helplessly at Dai Chengfeng. "It's just that, from what I can sense..."

"This Emperor Blood Tiger is roughly around 1,500 years old. You still can't absorb a 1,500-year spirit ring right now."

"Looks like we'll have to keep searching."

As he spoke, Zhu Fan turned, preparing to leave.

Dai Chengfeng, however, remained standing where he was, gently rubbing his chin as he pondered inwardly.

"1,500 years?"

"I cultivate the Innate Skill derived from the Emperor's Outer Classic, and over the past nearly one year, I've been using Innate Geng Metal Qi to temper my body... I haven't slacked for even half a moment."

"Though one year wasn't all that long, it wasn't short either."

"And half a month ago, I secretly compared myself..."

"The toughness of my body now is completely no weaker than those top-tier Soul Grand Masters in the army, or even some low-level Soul Elders. My Five Viscera and Six Bowels are several times tougher than theirs."

"Looking at it this way,"

"It isn't impossible for me to absorb this 1,500-year Emperor Blood Tiger spirit ring."

"After all, before that cheat-king Tang San appeared, who could have imagined that the fourth spirit ring could actually be a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring?"

Dai Chengfeng even felt that perhaps Tang San had already possessed the ability to absorb spirit rings beyond the age limit starting from his second spirit ring.

It was just that under the influence of "Grandmaster" Yu Xiaogang, he had likewise been shackled by this world's "common sense."

Only when he absorbed his fourth spirit ring did he choose to no longer believe Yu Xiaogang, and only then did he finally break free from the restraints of that so-called spirit ring age limit.

And if he had still chosen to listen to Yu Xiaogang, his fourth spirit ring definitely would not have been ten-thousand-year.

At this thought, Dai Chengfeng had already made his decision.

"Uncle, that one."

Dai Chengfeng said to Zhu Fan without hesitation.

"A... a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring?"

Zhu Fan looked at Dai Chengfeng in astonishment. "You want your Second Spirit Ring to be a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, and one that's a full 1,500 years old at that?"

Dai Chengfeng nodded.

"That absolutely won't do!"

Zhu Fan refused outright. "The limit for a Second Spirit Ring has always hovered around 700 years. This is a fact universally acknowledged by the entire spirit master world. Yet you actually want to absorb a 1,500-year ring as your Second Spirit Ring..."

However, before Zhu Fan could finish, Dai Chengfeng cut him off directly. "Uncle, believe me."

He looked at Zhu Fan earnestly. "Uncle, the so-called spirit ring age limit simply can't apply to everyone. After all, there are certain special items in this world that can completely allow a person to raise their maximum absorbable spirit ring age."

"And there are some people..."

"Who, by relying on their own unique past 'experiences,' can likewise break through that limit."

Zhu Fan looked at Dai Chengfeng's resolute expression, still hesitant in his heart. "But..."

After all, for a second spirit ring to reach an age of 1,500 years was simply unheard of to Zhu Fan.

But after hesitating again and again, Zhu Fan finally sighed helplessly. "Ah, fine..."

He had already seen too many impossible things become possible in Dai Chengfeng!

He was willing to believe in his nephew, Dai Chengfeng.

"Then let your uncle see just how you create a miracle, how you create history on the Douluo Continent!"

With that said, eight spirit rings instantly rose beneath Zhu Fan's feet. Powerful Soul Power surged like a storm, sweeping through the entire valley with him at its center.

And at that moment, as Zhu Fan stopped concealing himself, the blood tigers, sensing something was wrong, instantly flew into a towering rage.

One blood tiger after another widened its bloodthirsty eyes, staring at Zhu Fan as they let out deep, threatening growls. Their bodies crouched slightly, ready to launch a vicious attack at any moment.

And inside the cave, their leader, the Emperor Blood Tiger, finally appeared for the first time.

Its body was far larger than that of an ordinary blood tiger, and its entire being exuded an innate aura of kingship.

Looking at the two intruders, Zhu Fan and Dai Chengfeng, it raised its head and let out a long roar that shook heaven and earth.

Roar—!

In an instant, countless blood tigers seemed to receive an order and charged toward Zhu Fan and Dai Chengfeng.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Nether Poison Claw!"

At that moment, Zhu Fan's hands were wrapped in a layer of ghostly green light.

With just a casual sweep of his hand, that light instantly transformed into countless half-moon blades, sweeping toward the surging swarm of blood tigers.

They collapsed at the first touch!

Under the suppression of Zhu Fan's overwhelming strength, these blood tigers, no matter how numerous, were ultimately too weak, leaving them with no room to resist at all.

Even that Emperor Blood Tiger was left on its last breath under Zhu Fan's storm-like barrage of Crescent Blade attacks.

"Chengfeng, finish it off!"

Zhu Fan turned his head to look at Dai Chengfeng.

Dai Chengfeng nodded, slowly stepped forward, and gathered Innate Geng Metal Qi at his fingertip.

With one finger thrust out, the Emperor Blood Tiger's heart was instantly pierced through.

Blood flowed, dyeing the earth red.

In the end, the Emperor Blood Tiger could only let out an unwilling roar of rage. Then its massive body slowly collapsed, kicking up a cloud of dust.

At the same time, a purple spirit ring rose from its corpse.

Seeing this, Dai Chengfeng immediately sat cross-legged on the spot and carefully guided the Emperor Blood Tiger's spirit ring with his Soul Power, beginning to absorb it.

"Whew!"

Zhu Fan took a deep breath as he watched this scene.

Even though he had chosen to trust Dai Chengfeng's judgment, his heart was still filled with worry.

His eyes remained fixed on Dai Chengfeng, not daring to relax for even a moment, ready at any time to deal with any sudden situation that might arise.

After all, choosing to absorb a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring as one's second spirit ring...

This was, in the end, a feat that broke records and created a brand-new history for the Douluo Continent!
