Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor

“It’s been three days,” Brigitte replied softly.

"It's been three days already..." This time isn't considered long, after all, besides the Ice and Fire Body Refinement, the Martial Soul also needs time to re-integrate, so Ye Qing wasn't surprised.

Three days was exactly what he expected.

However, this back and forth means that a third of the holiday has already passed.

"Then let's not delay, let's absorb the fifth soul ring now and break through to the Soul King level." Ye Qing nodded to Bi Ji, then quickly walked to the Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju, sat down cross-legged, and assumed a cultivation posture.

"You may now make your sacrifice. As for your soul bone, let it condense in my left leg."

The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum swayed slightly, and then a strong surge of soul power erupted from it, with a blood-red pillar of light shooting into the sky, enveloping it and Ye Qing.

Sacrifice.

A blood-red soul ring, radiating a terrifying aura, slowly condensed from its body. To Ye Qing's surprise, this soul ring actually had a golden pattern on it, which meant that it was not just a 100,000-year-old soul beast, but a quasi-fierce beast that had already survived one tribulation.

Other spirit beasts might worry about the Heavenly Tribulation and fear its destructive power, but for the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, the threat of the first Heavenly Tribulation is not great.

It could completely rely on its own characteristics to forcibly withstand this calamity.

Its lifespan is 160,000 years.

Under the control of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, the blood-red soul ring slowly came to the top of Ye Qing's head, slowly fell down, and finally gradually wrapped around his body. At the same time, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum's main body was completely burned to ashes, turning into three items.

One of them was the left leg bone it condensed. This left leg bone flew to Ye Qing's left leg and attached itself to it at the same time as the soul ring wrapped around Ye Qing's body.

The second item was a light yellow solid that looked like a milk candy. This was the essence of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, which flew out along with the soul bone and fell into Ye Qing's mouth, where he swallowed it.

Finally, a tiny seed fell back into the small pit that appeared after its sacrifice, slowly absorbing the energy from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, awaiting the day of its revival.

It can only be said that the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum truly lives up to its reputation as a divine herb. Its soul rings, soul bones, and the essence of the divine herb instantly stained Ye Qing's body and soul gold. The immense soul power and medicinal power made Ye Qing's entire body seem to come alive.

Flesh, blood, meridians, bones, and internal organs were all greedily absorbing the soul power and medicinal power. Ye Qing felt as if every cell in his body was cheering and jumping for joy.

Under the immense power of the medicine, the eight extraordinary meridians were gradually opened up. The speed was not fast, but it progressed very steadily under the impetus of the medicine.

Perhaps because of the sacrifice, or perhaps because Ye Qing's own physical strength was sufficient to withstand it, absorbing the soul ring, soul bone, and immortal herb essence at the same time did not bring him any pressure.

Yes, there is only the exhilarating feeling of a leap in strength and the joy of an elevation in one's level of life.

Finally, when Ye Qing's momentum reached its peak, his Ren and Du meridians were opened, and the soul power that surged into his eight extraordinary meridians completely circulated through Ye Qing's soul power, forming a perfect Great Circulation.

The bottleneck that had been reached at level 50 was completely broken at this moment.

Normally, a 100,000-year spirit ring and a 100,000-year spirit bone would at least bring a three-level boost to a spirit master, just like how Tang San directly increased his spirit power by six levels after absorbing Xiao Wu's spirit ring and spirit bone.

However, Ye Qing's soul power was ultimately different. His body, with all his meridians open, allowed him to withstand at least three times more soul power than other soul masters of the same level. The compression of soul power by numerous extreme attributes caused the total amount of soul power to increase several times over.

After the sacrifice was completely over, Ye Qing's soul power level was level fifty-five.

However, in terms of total soul power, he is no longer inferior to those Soul Saints who have obtained their seventh soul ring.

The three immortal herbs—Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, Fiery Apricot Blossom, and Strange Treasure Sky Chrysanthemum—were not originally intended to enhance soul power in the original work.

After Tang San's Ice and Fire Body Refinement, his Soul Power didn't increase by even one level. Similarly, after Dai Mubai absorbed the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, his Soul Power didn't increase much either. The medicinal power of these three immortal herbs primarily affected the body.

What allowed Ye Qing's cultivation to improve so quickly was the soul power within his soul ring and soul bone. The soul ring helped him increase his level by two, and his soul bone also increased his level by two. The essence of the three immortal herbs actually had more effect on his physical body, while the soul power was just a side effect.

The greatest effect of Qirong Tongtianju's medicinal power lies in its ability to open up the eight extraordinary meridians.

The fact that his meridians were fully open and his body was completely free of leaks already saved Ye Qing an immeasurable amount of time. If he were in this state ten thousand years later, during the Legend of the Dragon King era, it would be considered a characteristic of his main body's martial soul after its third awakening.

His body is flawless and without leakage.

Ye Qing now feels like he's a perpetual motion machine, as if all the essence in his body is locked firmly in his flesh and blood, with an outrageously low consumption rate. Even if he fights continuously for seven days and seven nights, he can still endure it.

hum...

Yellow, purple, black, black, red!

Five spirit rings suddenly appeared, especially the last blood-red spirit ring with a golden pattern, which was several times larger than the other spirit rings, and its terrifying aura instantly rose!

"As expected, coming to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire was the right decision." Ye Qing was overjoyed. No wonder every protagonist in a fanfiction must come to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. This place is simply a blessing for a Soul Master, a treasure land that can transform a person!

Compared to when he had never been to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Ye Qing today is nothing short of a transformation and rebirth.

“But this makes it harder for Shrek Academy to cover up their secrets…” Ye Qing looked down at the blood-red spirit ring at his feet and thoughtfully stroked his chin.

"A flawless, golden body...?"

Chapter 108 Boundless Ocean, Perfect Disguise

A flawless, golden body represents absolute control over one's body, and Ye Qing can now achieve the same.

Having undergone the tempering of ice and fire and the sacrifice of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, Ye Qing's physical potential has been developed to its limit. Now, even if a powerful attack-type beast spirit titled Douluo is placed in front of him, as long as he doesn't use his spirit or soul power, Ye Qing can still beat him up by the head.

However, the other characteristic of the Golden Body being flawless is the main reason that made Ye Qing think deeply.

Now that he possesses a 100,000-year spirit ring and his spirit power level has inexplicably reached level 55, if he doesn't conceal it, the Shrek Academy higher-ups will definitely notice something is wrong. What he needs to do is to sneak into the village quietly, not blatantly flaunt his 100,000-year spirit ring.

To be fearless of any threat, he would at least have to reach the Soul Saint level and condense his first Soul Core before he would be qualified to do so.

Because at that time, he was at least able to beat up a Title Douluo, stand up to a Super Douluo, and calmly leave the hands of top experts.

Only then did he have the confidence to be fearless.

As for now, it's not possible yet.

His flawless, golden body gave him the means to conceal himself and complete control over his body. Does this mean he can display as much power as he wants?

As he thought about it, Ye Qing slowly closed his eyes. His immense aura gradually contracted, and the rapidly flowing soul power within him also slowed down at this moment.

Under Bi Ji's watchful gaze, Ye Qing's original soul power aura plummeted from level 55 to level 50. His 100,000-year soul ring also gradually dimmed and eventually disappeared completely. Even at this point, Ye Qing did not stop. Instead, he continued to conceal his aura until his soul power dropped to around level 46 before finally stopping.

As a Soul Master with the ultimate attribute, even with his extraordinary talent, logically speaking, only this level is the level that best suits his cultivation speed.

Feeling the hidden power within him that he had restrained but could unleash at any moment, Ye Qing revealed a knowing smile.

"Bridget, can you spot the flaw?" He asked with a smile, opening his arms wide.

Brigitte naturally understood what he wanted to do. After pinching her delicate chin and sensing it for a while, she nodded gently: "If you sense it carefully, you can still find something wrong. You are indeed hiding it very well, but for strong people at our level, we can ignore your disguise and directly feel your level of threat."

"The level of threat you subtly posed to me reveals your soul power level. Although I cannot directly sense your specific level, I can tell that you are faking it."

Once you reach the level of Limit Douluo, the power you can possess becomes somewhat abstract.

Especially in the original novel, when Huo Yuhao faced Long Xiaoyao, no matter what methods Huo Yuhao used, Long Xiaoyao always seemed to maintain a nonchalant attitude and easily control Huo Yuhao.

Even after he broke through to the Title Douluo level, he still couldn't see through how strong Long Xiaoyao really was.

Brigitte seems to be no exception in having this ability.

In other words, if Mu En were to carefully sense Ye Qing's aura, he would be completely exposed.

"Is there any way to solve this?" Ye Qing asked, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Enhance your mental strength and make your mind more stable and reserved. This will greatly reduce the probability of you revealing your true strength," Brigitte said after a moment's thought.

Ye Qing blinked and took out another jade box from his soul tool.

See, what a coincidence! He was planning to absorb the "Longing for Autumn Dew" anyway, so what's the difference between this and having a pillow right in front of you when you're sleepy?

Since things have come to this, let's take the medicine first.

He sat down abruptly, opened the jade box, took out the "Wang Chuan Qiu Shui Lu" (a type of water droplet), looked at the few crystal dewdrops on the leaves, tilted his head back, dripped a drop into each eye, and then swallowed the rest.

A refreshing sensation, like eating mint, suddenly burst forth within Ye Qing's body.

He felt more refreshed than ever before; he seemed to see himself reborn…

The spiritual sea, already enhanced by increased strength and honed over many years, expanded rapidly under the influence of the Autumn Water Dew. The entire spiritual sea was permeated with a purplish-gold hue. At this moment, Ye Qing's spiritual sea seemed to have truly transformed from a lake into a vast ocean.

The realm of spiritual power—boundless ocean.

Yes, that's what Electrolux said. According to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, this realm is called having form but no substance. This means that Ye Qing has surpassed most Title Douluos in terms of spiritual power.

After standing up again, Ye Qing was completely flawless in Bi Ji's perception, perfectly integrated and a masterpiece.

"Alright, this time there shouldn't be any major problems." Ye Qing smiled.

Bi Ji nodded gently and said with emotion, "I never imagined that there were so many immortal herbs in the Douluo Continent. Many of these herbs are ones I've never even seen before. Before you took these immortal herbs, I couldn't believe they could have such great effects."

"Of course! Our celestial herbs are rare treasures created by the heavens and earth. Such things should only exist in heaven. How often can one hear of them in the mortal world!" Hearing Bi Ji's exclamation, Youxiang Qiluo, the talkative celestial herb, couldn't help but interject, his tone full of pride.

snort!

You filthy human, you used to belittle us to the point of being worthless, but it was thanks to us that you were able to make such rapid progress!

The fragrant fairy felt incredibly proud of herself, and put her hands on her hips for a moment of smug satisfaction.

"Oh, then you can continue to seize the wonders of nature here. Biji, let's go!" Ye Qing glanced at this silly thing, waved to Biji, and took the lead in spreading his wings and flying outside.

Brigitte nodded and flew up to follow Ye Qing.

After the two left, all the immortal herbs in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had survived a calamity.

"Those two evil spirits are finally gone," a certain magical herb muttered quietly.

Then the other medicinal herbs also chimed in.

"Yeah, yeah, they're finally gone."

"He's just like a robber."

"What do you mean 'like robbers'? They are clearly robbers!"
