Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul

"You! You! You!"

The Blue Silver King was clearly beside himself with anger. He extended a thick vine and pointed it tremblingly at Han Yu, unable to form a complete sentence.

"I came to ask you a favor."

With the Blue Silver Emperor in hand, Han Yu naturally had no fear of what the Blue Silver King might do. Besides, he had a flight Soul Bone and the Clear Sky Hammer, and if all else failed, Tang Hao was outside.

"As you can see, I'm a Soul Master."

With Tang Hao absent, Han Yu naturally had nothing to fear. He watched the Blue Silver King's vine thrashing furiously through the air and spoke calmly.

"I'm level twenty now, and I need a Soul Ring."

Hearing Han Yu's words, the Blue Silver King's enormous face frowned slightly, and he spoke.

"Return my king to me, and I'll find you a suitable Soul Ring. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Han Yu chuckled and gently stroked the Blue Silver Emperor's main vine. The Blue Silver Emperor affectionately wound her vine around his wrist and let him stroke her. Then he looked at the Blue Silver King with utter contempt.

"See that?"

He raised his wrist in front of him, as if to give the Blue Silver King a clearer look.

But a glint flashed through the Blue Silver King's eyes. A thick vine hidden behind Han Yu shot straight toward the Blue Silver Emperor in his hand, as though it meant to take her away.

The Blue Silver Emperor spotted it, however, and a faint blue light spread out, enveloping everything within a hundred meters, including the Blue Silver King.

Blue Silver Domain.

This was the Innate Domain of the emperor of the plant world, the Blue Silver Emperor.

As soon as the Blue Silver Domain appeared, all the plants nearby bent slightly in submission. Even the Blue Silver King was restrained within the domain. The vine he had used for the sneak attack fell straight to the ground, while the vine he had been waving in the air also stopped and slowly descended. He dared not look directly at the Blue Silver Emperor's imperial might.

"That was close!"

He realized that the Blue Silver King had launched a sneak attack from behind. Fortunately, he had the Blue Silver Emperor in hand; otherwise, the attack would surely have succeeded.

I really can't afford to be careless.

Han Yu cursed himself inwardly. Beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and his gaze toward the Blue Silver King was no longer as careless as before. He snorted coldly and spoke.

"A sneak attack? Just what I'd expect from an eighty-five-thousand-year-old Blue Silver King. I only wanted you to help me condense a Soul Ring, but now I've changed my mind. I want you to sacrifice yourself and become my Second Soul Ring."

The Blue Silver King's heart was filled with bitterness. Watching the Blue Silver Emperor behave as meekly as a pet in Han Yu's hand, he felt as though countless sharp knives had been plunged into his heart, leaving him in unbearable pain.

"If you refuse, I'll burn your king to ashes right in front of you."

The devilish words came easily from Han Yu's mouth, as casually as if he were discussing what to eat for lunch.

"Empress... why..."

The Blue Silver King was almost in tears as he looked at the Blue Silver Emperor in Han Yu's hand, his heart filled with sorrow.

One could imagine how happy he had been when he learned that the empress was nearby, as if he had found his mother. But now the Blue Silver Emperor had not only extinguished the hope in his heart, she had filled it with despair.

The Blue Silver Emperor waved her two vines in a joyful dance, like a pet asking its master for a reward.

"You're the best."

Han Yu was generous with his praise, dotingly stroking the vine at the Blue Silver Emperor's tip.

The Blue Silver King watched the scene, feeling a grievance beyond words. The empress, who was like a mother to him, had joined forces with someone else to bully him. Fortunately, his enormous face was not a real face, or it would already have been covered in tears.

"Have you made up your mind?"

Han Yu had spent long enough in this forest and had long since grown impatient. If he hadn't wanted a Soul Ring, he wouldn't have wanted to come to a place like this at all.

"I agree, but you must treat my king well."

The Blue Silver King all but ground his teeth as he spoke, looking at Han Yu. An air of despair enveloped the longest-lived Soul Beast in the forest apart from the Blue Silver Emperor.

"You'd better think carefully. I've heard that a Sacrifice has to be completely willing. Besides..."

Worried that the Blue Silver King might try some trick, Han Yu placed the Blue Silver Emperor in his spiritual space and looked at him contemptuously.

"If you try anything, don't expect your Blue Silver Clan to find this Blue Silver Emperor."

There was always only one line of Blue Silver Emperors. Only when one generation died would the next appear. If the Blue Silver King tried anything against him, the Blue Silver Emperor would naturally die too, and the next Blue Silver Emperor would appear. But as for what connection the next Blue Silver Emperor would have to this one, he didn't know. The Blue Silver Emperor had said herself that, in a sense, she was immortal: even a Sacrifice would leave a seed behind.

The Blue Silver King knew none of this. All he knew was that the young boy before him had hidden his king somewhere he did not know. In other words, if he tried to harm the boy, the Blue Silver Clan would never have a new Blue Silver Emperor again.

Han Yu had guessed what he was thinking, leaving the Blue Silver King even more distressed. He had intended to use the Sacrifice as a pretext to severely injure or even kill the boy before him, and he would have had no complaints even if he himself died as a result. But the boy was too clever and had guessed every last one of his thoughts.

With no other choice, the Blue Silver King could only prepare for the Sacrifice.

A hazy black light spread from the Blue Silver King's enormous face, forming a black halo that unfurled in an instant. The crystalline Blue Silver King had now turned black, with a few extremely fine red threads drifting slowly through the darkness.

A black field spread out, enveloping the Blue Silver King's enormous body and Han Yu's slender figure. The Clear Sky Hammer emerged involuntarily in Han Yu's hand, and a black Soul Ring drifted slowly up and down around it.

"What is this?"

Sensing a presence within the Soul Ring that compelled him to submit, the Blue Silver King was greatly startled. In the blink of an eye, he realized it was the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Ring. Then he sensed the same presence on Han Yu and understood everything at once. In a daze, he seemed to see the Blue Silver Emperor growing inside Han Yu's spiritual space.

"This!! Damn human!!"

The Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Ring and Soul Bone were both on him! The black Soul Ring made it plain that he had killed the Blue Silver Emperor again after she had grown. The Blue Silver King roared in fury, powerful spiritual force bursting from him as he tried to rescue the Blue Silver Emperor from Han Yu's spiritual space.

In an instant, a small tree appeared in Han Yu's left hand. The moment it emerged, countless threads shot out and wound around the Blue Silver King's enormous body, even binding his spiritual force tightly within them. Before long, it had absorbed his enormous body until it was shriveled, then slowly returned to the small tree.
