The outer regions of the Blue Silver Forest were filled with ordinary Blue Silver Grass, though it grew so densely that it appeared overwhelming.
Based on Ye Wen's knowledge from books:
A hundred-year-old Blue Silver Grass would grow in a vine-like form. To determine its age, one could count the number of silver cores in its main stem—one core represented a hundred years.
A thousand-year-old Blue Silver Grass would resemble a willow tree, with robust branches and even more vigorous vitality. At this stage, the way to determine its age was by examining the proportion of silver in its leaves. If half the leaves were silver, the tree had five thousand years of cultivation, and other ages were calculated accordingly.
By the time it reached ten thousand years, the Blue Silver Tree's trunk would turn entirely blue, and all its leaves would become silver—hence the name "Blue Silver."
At this point, the ten-thousand-year Blue Silver Tree was also referred to as the Blue Silver King. The method for determining its age followed a cyclical pattern similar to the hundred-year Blue Silver Vine.
This was done by counting the number of its innate branches.
These innate branches of the Blue Silver King had another name:
Blue Silver Tyrant Spear!
This would later become Tang San's fifth soul skill for his Blue Silver Grass.
But Ye Wen found it strange. If Tang San's martial soul had awakened as the Blue Silver Emperor, why wasn't it called the "Blue Silver Tyrant Emperor Spear" but simply the "Tyrant Spear"?
If we ruled out the possibility of a typo by the author, it could only mean that the rule stating there could only be one Blue Silver Emperor on the continent was indeed valid. This meant that as long as the Blue Silver Emperor in Ye Wen's possession hadn't completely vanished from the world, Tang San could never truly possess the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul. At best, he could only be called the "Blue Silver Prince"—someone who might someday become the Blue Silver Emperor but wasn't yet qualified.
However, Ye Wen no longer had time to dwell on these thoughts because he now had to focus on saving his own life!
"Human thieves! What have you done to our Emperor?! Why do I sense the presence of our Emperor on you?
Ahhhh!!!
Our clan has only produced one Emperor in over ten thousand years! Has he already fallen at your hands?
Unforgivable, unforgivable! You shall all die!!!"
An ancient, hollow voice filled with frenzied madness echoed through the forest. Before Ye Wen could react, eight gleaming knight spears pierced through the air, aimed straight at them.
Instantly, Dugu Bo's previously relaxed demeanor turned grave. He grabbed Ye Wen by the back of his collar and pulled him behind him, then unleashed his soul rings in rapid succession.
Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black!!!
Dugu Bo's nine soul rings appeared one after another. However, the Blue Silver King's relentless assault left no room for Dugu Bo to test weaker soul skills. Without hesitation, he activated his seventh soul ring.
Seventh Soul Skill: True Body of the Martial Soul – Jade Phosphorus Serpent Emperor – Manifest!
In an instant, a terrifying giant Serpent with prominent horns and three eyes on its forehead materialized in front of Dugu Bo and Ye Wen.
In the True Body state, a soul master's attributes increased by 1.5 times, and the cooldown for their first six soul skills was removed for half an hour.
Fifth Soul Skill: Jade Phosphorus Emperor Shield!
Dugu Bo's expression tightened as he immediately activated one of his few defensive soul skills.
However, what shocked Dugu Bo came next. The Jade Phosphorus Emperor Shield, which he had once thought capable of easily withstanding attacks from a Soul Douluo, was instantly pierced by the eight spears.
Dugu Bo immediately realized that even something as seemingly ordinary as Blue Silver Grass, when grown to eighty-five thousand years, was undoubtedly an existence capable of rivaling a Title Douluo. He could no longer afford to underestimate his opponent!
As a control-type soul master, many of Dugu Bo's high-damage soul skills required time to charge. Focusing his mind, he rapidly channeled his soul power and released several layers of his fifth soul skill, forming a thick barrier.
Before coming here, Ye Wen had already made clear their objective:
To kill the eighty-five-thousand-year-old Blue Silver King. Thus, Dugu Bo didn't hold back. Once his soul power was sufficiently charged, the vertical pupil on the Jade Phosphorus Serpent Emperor's forehead suddenly widened.
Head Bone Soul Skill: Medusa's Gaze!
As the vertical pupil glowed with an emerald light, the entire world seemed to be bathed in green.
In an instant, the previously ferocious spears charging toward them were petrified, losing all their strength.
The face simulated by the Blue Silver King showed signs of agony. After all, those eight spears were akin to its innate treasures.
But the Blue Silver King wasn't ready to give up just yet. Two faint red glimmers of murderous intent flashed from its hollow eye sockets.
"Humans! Don't look down on me!"
In the next moment, the Blue Silver Grass on the branches above the Blue Silver King began growing wildly, forming a solid wall in front of it to block Medusa's Gaze.
Dugu Bo instantly understood the Blue Silver King's intention—it wanted to use this obstruction to forcibly negate the effects of his bone soul skill.
But if the Blue Silver King was experienced, so was he, Dugu Bo!
Roaring inwardly, Dugu Bo thought, 'Take your arrogance to the grave!'
At this moment, all three eyes of the Jade Phosphorus Serpent Emperor began to glow, and the eighth soul ring on Dugu Bo's body lit up!
Eighth Soul Skill: Time-Space Solidification!!!
This was Dugu Bo's ultimate trump card as a control-type soul master.
Once activated, this skill could effortlessly annihilate an entire city, covering an area of several thousand square meters and freezing all enemies within it.
Ye Wen watched in awe. In this era, spatial soul skills were already exceedingly rare. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's Bone Elder was renowned throughout the land for his mastery of spatial abilities.
But most people didn't know that Dugu Bo possessed an even greater ability—control over time!
In Ye Wen's eyes, once struck by this skill, even Tang Hao would be completely immobilized.
If a powerful finishing move were added at this moment, it would be a guaranteed kill!
And at this precise moment, Dugu Bo's ninth soul ring lit up!
Ninth Soul Skill: Jade Phosphorus Divine Light!!!
The Jade Phosphorus Serpent Emperor opened its mouth wide, and a terrifying emerald soul power began to brew within. As this soul skill was unleashed, even Dugu Bo's body transformed, becoming a pure energy-like shadow. The medicinal pearl in his dantian, representing Dugu Bo's lethal poison, began releasing a massive amount of toxic energy, converging into this attack.
This was the first time Ye Wen had witnessed a Title Douluo unleash their ninth soul skill up close. Though he was immune to all poisons, the sheer might of it still forced him to retreat step by step.
At this moment, Dugu Bo completed his charge and unleashed a wave of emerald light directly toward the Blue Silver King!
How could a mere petrified barrier withstand the full force of a Title Douluo's attack? It was instantly shattered, striking the Blue Silver King, which remained frozen in place behind it.
