Completing All Five Soul Rings (Please Recommend and Bookmark)

The Core Area of the Star Dou Great Forest!

After several days of searching with his companions in tow, Lin Feng finally found a Soul Beast suitable for his Fourth Soul Ring.

It was an eighty-thousand-year-old Violent Gold Tiger Demon King. With its ferocious metal-element attacks, it ruled over a stretch of the Core Area.

But today, someone had set his sights on it.

"Third Soul Skill: Yellow Earth Undying!"

Rumble!

The ground shook. Wrapped in earthen-yellow light, the land seemed to come alive. Four walls of earth rose from below, sealing the Violent Gold Tiger Demon King inside.

"Roar!"

Fangs of Ruin!

The Violent Gold Tiger Demon King roared. Golden light surged from its body and became countless tooth-shaped blades that struck at the walls.

But the walls seemed alive. As fast as the tiger tore through them, they rebuilt themselves behind the damage.

"Ring Fusion: Crimson Fire Scorches the Heavens!"

It was Lin Feng!

Through Ring Fusion, Lin Feng had raised the power of Crimson Fire Scorches the Heavens to the level of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring.

A tornado of red-gold flame swept out. Even with all its strength, the Violent Gold Tiger Demon King could not withstand it.

With a wretched howl, the tiger's flesh charred black, and a deep-black Soul Ring emerged.

After a short rest, Lin Feng asked Dugu Bo and the others to guard him, then began absorbing the tiger's eighty-thousand-year Soul Ring.

As Dugu Bo laid a Poison Formation around them, he sighed to himself.

"The stronger Young Friend Lin Feng gets, the less use I am. If I ran into an eighty-thousand-year Violent Gold Tiger Demon King, I'd have no choice but to flee. He killed it in no time."

"And I'm supposed to be a Soul Saint. Some Soul Saint I am. The younger generation really is overtaking us."

"I can't help him hunt Soul Beasts anymore. I'd better guard him properly so I can keep asking Young Friend Lin Feng for the antidote."

Ah Yin was keeping watch nearby when her expression suddenly changed.

A gentle voice reached her ears.

"Your Majesty Blue Silver Emperor, why have you come to our Star Dou Great Forest instead of cultivating in the Blue Silver Forest?"

"You're accompanying human Soul Masters and helping them hunt us Soul Beasts. That human is no ordinary man. The flames he unleashed just now were so fierce they could injure even a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast."

"He's a threat to us. Since you're his friend, please take him out of the Star Dou Great Forest at once. Otherwise, don't blame us for turning on him."

Ah Yin answered the owner of the gentle voice in the way Soul Beasts communicated.

"Soft Bone Rabbit Emperor, I give you my word as the Blue Silver Emperor: my friend hasn't come to make enemies of you. He would never hunt a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, either."

"We'll leave soon, but we must wait until he finishes absorbing his Soul Ring."

A moment later, the gentle voice returned.

"Very well. For Your Majesty Blue Silver Emperor's sake, we won't attack this human. But we'll watch him. If he dares set foot in the Lake of Life, don't blame us for what happens."

Ah Yin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you."

Ah Yin knew that more than one hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast lived around the Lake of Life. They were not creatures her group could afford to provoke.

Even if Lin Feng could kill an eighty-thousand-year Soul Beast, that did not mean he could kill a hundred-thousand-year one.

Eight hours later, Lin Feng finally woke. He stood and stretched. He had grown a little taller, with an upright, well-proportioned frame, and his body had grown stronger.

Absorbing his Fourth Soul Ring had also unlocked his Soul Power up to level fifty.

Once he absorbed a Fifth Soul Ring, he would become a Soul King again—the rank he had held before his Soul Power was crippled.

Lin Feng had no idea Ah Yin and Ah Rou had spoken privately. Meeting Ah Yin this time had helped him enormously.

Otherwise, with him hunting Soul Beasts so freely in the Core Area, Ah Rou, the Sky Azure Bull Python, and the Titan Giant Ape would surely have come to drive him out, or even kill him.

Lin Feng then dug a Left Arm Soul Bone from the Violent Gold Tiger Demon King's body. The eighty-thousand-year beast had probably died bitterly, slain by a three-ring Soul Elder.

An eighty-thousand-year Soul Bone was not a hundred-thousand-year one, after all. Lin Feng resisted the urge to absorb it.

Then they set out to find a suitable Fifth Soul Ring for him.

Three days later!

At a cold pool in the Star Dou Great Forest, Lin Feng and the others discovered a ninety-thousand-year-old Xuanming Turtle.

It was perfect for Lin Feng's Fifth Soul Ring!

"First Soul Skill: Touch of Green Wood!"

Azure Vine tendrils plunged into the cold pool, wrapped around the Xuanming Turtle, and dragged it out.

Ice Breath!

The Xuanming Turtle roared and breathed streams of freezing energy, trying to freeze the vines. Unfortunately for it, Lin Feng's Azure Vine was immune to ice. Even cold powerful enough to injure a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast had no effect on it.

The Xuanming Turtle suffered the same setback as the Crimson Sky Crying Phoenix. Lin Feng's Azure Vine was immune to both ice and fire, leaving the turtle's strongest attack useless.

"Third Soul Skill: Yellow Earth Undying!"

Lin Feng shaped earth-element energy into spikes and sent them hurtling at the Xuanming Turtle.

The turtle gave the spikes a disdainful glance. It did not know why its prized Ice Breath had failed against those vines.

But the Xuanming Turtle's defense was second to none. Even the beast kings at the Lake of Life could not harm it.

It drew its head and limbs into its shell. Spike after spike struck, lifting it into the air, yet not one left a mark on its shell.

Dugu Bo prepared to help.

"Young Friend Lin Feng, want me to try poisoning it?"

Lin Feng waved him off.

"A ninety-thousand-year Soul Beast has tremendous vitality. It would break down any ordinary poison on its own."

"It's only a ninety-thousand-year Xuanming Turtle. It thinks that shell puts it beyond my reach? I'll show it what I can do."

"Ring Fusion: Platinum Army Breaker!"

Four black Soul Rings rose and fell around Lin Feng, moving faster and faster until they gradually fused into one.

The First Soul Ring merged with the Second Soul Ring: wood fed fire. The Second Soul Ring merged with the Third Soul Ring: fire gave rise to earth. The Third Soul Ring merged with the Fourth Soul Ring: earth gave rise to metal.

The power of four Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings was drawn together, and terrifying destructive energy surged within Lin Feng.

His body trembled. His bones and sinews groaned. His organs felt as though they were being torn apart, and his skin split until he looked drenched in blood.

And that was after his body had been strengthened time and again.

Anyone else, even a Soul Douluo, would have exploded and died by now.

"Die!" Lin Feng roared hoarsely.

Golden light erupted. Thousands upon thousands of golden feathers formed, and with a sweep of his hand, they rained down on the Xuanming Turtle!

The strike rivaled that of a three-hundred-thousand-year Ferocious Beast and nearly destroyed everything in its path. The golden feathers punched straight through the Xuanming Turtle's seemingly indestructible shell. Amid its cries, the turtle was shredded into flesh and blood that stained the entire cold pool red.

Ah Yin stared in disbelief!

Dugu Bo was speechless!

Dugu Xin's face shone with admiration!

Deep in the forest, Ah Rou, the Sky Azure Bull Python, and the Titan Giant Ape fell silent too. None of them was certain they could have withstood that last strike.
