Dugu Bo fell silent for a moment.

"Monster."

Tang Feng rolled his wrist.

"Your granddaughter said the same thing."

Dugu Bo's gaze darkened.

Tang Feng had already headed toward the valley exit.

"It was time to find my third Spirit Ring."

Star Dou Forest was too far from Heaven Dou City.

Dugu Bo directly brought Tang Feng deep into Sunset Forest.

The two crossed several mountain peaks.

The Blue Silver Domain spread outward.

The plants in the forest continuously relayed information about spirit beasts.

Ordinary Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts could hardly escape Tang Feng's perception.

Half an hour later.

A vast patch of vines suddenly appeared at the edge of the domain.

Those vines constantly changed color.

At times, they blended into tree trunks.

At times, they transformed into shrubs.

Even when passing right beside them, it was difficult to spot anything unusual.

Tang Feng stopped.

"Southeast, eight hundred meters."

Dugu Bo raised his eyes to look.

"Thousand Illusion Demon Vine."

"More than twelve thousand years old."

The Thousand Illusion Demon Vine excelled at camouflage and mental interference.

It could control countless vines and create illusions within the forest.

Once prey entered its range, the surrounding scenery would constantly change.

Direction, distance, and Soul Power fluctuations would all be disrupted.

It was perfectly suited to supplement the Blue Silver Emperor's control abilities.

The two entered the Thousand Illusion Demon Vine's territory.

The surrounding trees immediately changed.

The previously level forest floor transformed into steep cliffs.

Large clouds of gray-white mist rolled in from every direction.

Dozens of figures appeared in the fog, each one identical to Tang Feng.

Dugu Bo stood at the perimeter.

"Do you need this old man to pin it down for you?"

"No."

Tang Feng unfolded his Blue Silver Domain.

Illusions could deceive the eyes.

But they could not alter the true life auras of plants.

Every Thousand Illusion Demon Vine left a clear position within the domain.

Tang Feng raised his left hand.

The Ruination Blue Silver Emperor rapidly grew along the ground.

The deep-blue vines did not attack the surrounding illusions. Instead, they all burrowed underground.

The Thousand Illusion Demon Vine sensed the danger.

Hundreds of gray-green vines shot out from all around.

Their surfaces were covered in tiny barbs as they coiled around Tang Feng's limbs and neck.

The black Spirit Ring beneath Tang Feng's feet lit up.

"Second soul skill."

"Star-Binding Annihilation!"

Nine main vines burst from the ground.

Dark purple star patterns lit up at the same time.

The charging gray-green vines were forcibly entangled.

The Thousand Illusion Demon Vine constantly shifted its form.

The surrounding cliffs vanished.

A vast sea of flames appeared immediately afterward.

Tang Feng remained unaffected.

The Blue Silver Domain had always locked onto the strongest life aura underground.

That was where the Thousand Illusion Demon Vine's true body lay.

The nine main vines contracted inward.

Boom!

The soil exploded.

A massive vine root more than ten feet in diameter was forcibly dragged out of the earth by the Ruination Blue Silver Emperor.

The Thousand Illusion Demon Vine writhed wildly.

The surrounding illusions shattered one after another.

Large clusters of vines lashed out from behind ancient trees.

Tang Feng clenched his fingers.

The crimson patterns across the Ruination Blue Silver Emperor completely lit up.

Ultimate Fire!

Crimson flames spread along the nine main vines.

The ordinary branches of the Thousand Illusion Demon Vine turned to ash the moment they touched the flames.

Even the tough woody layer around its main body began to blacken.

[Jeweled Gauntlet activated!] [Eightfold soul skill critical hit!]

Nine strangling forces erupted simultaneously.

Crack!

The Thousand Illusion Demon Vine's main body was crushed apart on the spot.

Ruination power invaded its roots through the break, swiftly devouring its remaining life force.

All the surrounding illusions vanished at once.

Black motes drifted from the severed vine roots.

A Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring gradually condensed.

Dugu Bo walked over.

From beginning to end, he had not made a move. He had only prevented other spirit beasts from approaching.

"A ten-thousand-year second Spirit Ring."

"And a ten-thousand-year third Spirit Ring."

"This old man would like to see how you planned to add Spirit Rings to your two Martial Souls in the future."

Tang Feng sat down cross-legged.

"I'll deal with the future when it comes."

Drawn by an unseen force, the black Spirit Ring slowly descended onto the Ruination Blue Silver Emperor.

Having already absorbed the Blazing Sun Golden Falcon's Spirit Ring, things went much more smoothly this time.

The Thousand Illusion Demon Vine's lingering mental remnant had barely entered his consciousness before the Blue Silver Domain completely suppressed it.

Several hours later.

The third black Spirit Ring stabilized.

Information about a brand-new soul skill flowed into his consciousness.

Third soul skill.

Blue Silver Illusion Slaughter Array!

Within the domain's range, the Ruination Blue Silver Emperor could use plants to create an illusory realm.

The vines within the array could conceal their aura and form.

Tang Feng could also create false positions to interfere with an opponent's perception and judgment of Soul Power.

The illusion was not merely for concealment.

Every false scene could hide real Destruction Vines.

Tang Feng raised his hand.

His third Spirit Ring lit up.

The surrounding forest rapidly fell silent.

Tang Feng gradually vanished before Dugu Bo's eyes.

The next moment, more than a dozen Tang Fengs appeared in different directions.

The Soul Power fluctuations of every figure were completely identical.

Dugu Bo raised his hand and released a wisp of poisonous mist.

The poisonous mist passed through one of the figures.

That figure turned into Dark Blue Vines and instantly wrapped around his wrist.

Dugu Bo's Soul Power surged, shattering the vine.

"Not bad."

Tang Feng emerged from behind an ancient tree.

He withdrew the Blue Silver Illusion Slaughter Array.

His three Spirit Rings vanished as well.

The third Spirit Ring absorption was complete.

Tang Feng did not remain in Sunset Forest any longer.

The two returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Before leaving, Tang Feng began selecting Immortal Herb.

The Life Blue Silver Emperor slowly extended through the herb garden.

The life conditions of every medicinal plant flowed into his perception through the blades of grass.

Tang Feng did not empty the entire herb garden in one go.

Immortal Herb could continue growing, making it far more valuable than harvesting it all at once.

He first came before the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid.

Its eight white petals gently unfurled.

Its medicinal nature was mild and rich. It could strengthen one's foundation, nourish one's essence, and increase Soul Power.

The Nine-Hearted Begonia focused on life and healing.

The Eight Petal Immortal Orchid would not alter the Martial Soul's attribute, nor would it place a severe burden on the meridians.

It was perfectly suited for Ye Lingling.

Tang Feng took out a jade box.

The Life Blue Silver Emperor first protected the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid's roots.

Blue-gold light flowed into the soil.

Only after the roots' life force had stabilized did he harvest the mature portion and place it inside the jade box.

The remaining roots still retained vitality.

As long as they continued receiving nourishment from the ice and fire spiritual energy, they could grow again in the future.

Tang Feng stored the jade box in his Soul Tool.

Afterward, he came to a jade-green ganoderma.

Its surface resembled warm, lustrous jade.

The medicinal power within would not conflict with poison attributes.

The Jade Ganoderma could nourish the meridians and strengthen control over Soul Power.

Though the snake venom within Dugu Yan had stabilized, her meridians had suffered years of erosion.

This Jade Ganoderma could make up for that damage.

Tang Feng likewise preserved its roots and took only the mature main body of the ganoderma.

He continued walking through the herb garden.

Several immortal herbs suited to his own Martial Soul were collected in turn.

There were also several precious herbs that could be used to refine antidotes and recovery medicines.

Whenever he harvested one, the Life Blue Silver Emperor would pour life force into its roots.

The roots, which had weakened from being harvested, soon regained their vitality.

New shoots even slowly emerged from the soil.

Dugu Bo stood beside him and watched for a long time.

"Can you make these herbs grow again?"

Tang Feng sent the last wisp of life force into their roots.

"As long as the roots are alive, they can be nurtured."

Dugu Bo looked at the spiritual herbs that had begun to sprout anew.

Tang Feng took only the mature portions without destroying their root systems.

In a few years, the medicinal garden would recover once more.

With the Life Blue Silver Emperor nourishing them, they would grow far faster than before.
