Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 474 Dissolving the Soul Ring and Forging a Divine Weapon

"Xiao Chen, help Senior Hailong upgrade his soul ring age so he can reach eight black and one red."

Shui Yue'er realized that Hailong Douluo's spirit rings were only the standard configuration and a bit too low, so she directly asked Ye Liangchen to help upgrade them.

"Lord Sea God, there's no need for that. It will deplete your divine power."

Even the Sea Dragon Douluo felt a little embarrassed, as he had given her a full soul bone and a boost to her soul power; it was too much.

"Senior Hailong, as the High Priest of Seagod Island, your soul ring combination must be eight black and one red."

Shui Yue'er felt that when Poseidon served as the High Priest, her spirit rings were always eight black and one red. If the Sea Dragon Douluo's spirit rings did not reach eight black and one red, then it would be very unimpressive.

"No problem, I'll take care of the spirit ring age limit issue."

Ye Liangchen nodded. With his current strength, it would be very easy for him to upgrade the age of someone else's spirit ring.

"Hey! I've got it!"

Suddenly, Ye Liangchen remembered the pile of soul rings in his game inventory, so he took out the soul rings of those soul beasts with a thought.

"Buzz..."

In an instant, large circles of yellow, purple, and black filled the entire Poseidon Hall, which was truly awe-inspiring.

Wow! So many spirit rings.

The sight of those densely packed spirit rings dazzled everyone.

"Why did he take out those spirit rings?"

Poseidon and Shuiyue couldn't figure out what trick Ye Liangchen was up to this time.

"Whoosh..."

Ye Liangchen used his spatial divine power to create a ten-meter-large spatial sphere and then put all the soul rings inside it.

"What's going on now?" everyone asked curiously.

"As everyone should know, a spirit ring is actually just energy, which dissipates after an hour. I used spatial divine power to create this space in order to collect this energy."

Ye Liangchen explained to everyone that after these soul rings dissipate, they will become energy, and there will be no problem in using this energy to make divinely bestowed soul rings.

An hour later, all the spirit rings turned into energy. Whether they were hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of years old, the energy they turned into was all mixed together.

"Whoosh..."

Ye Liangchen immediately mobilized his spatial divine power, shrinking the ten-meter-wide space into a spatial sphere the size of a basketball. The energy inside the spatial sphere, after compression, also turned into a liquid form.

"The purity of this energy is almost close to that of a Title Douluo's soul power. It is estimated that a fist-sized ball of energy could be used to create a ten-thousand-year soul ring."

Looking at the liquid energy inside the transparent space sphere, Poseidon and Shuiyue thought that using this energy to create soul rings would be quite a good idea.

"Senior Hailong, show me your nine spirit rings, and I'll help you improve."

Ye Liangchen instructed the Sea Dragon Douluo to prepare, as this energy would be more than enough to increase the age of its spirit rings.

"Yes, young master."

Following Ye Liangchen's instructions, Hailong Douluo immediately revealed nine spirit rings: two yellow, two purple, and five black.

"Whoosh..."

Ye Liangchen used his spatial divine power to envelop a small ball of energy and injected it into the Sea Dragon Douluo's ninth spirit ring. At the same time, he used his divine sense to temper the Sea Dragon Douluo's spirit ring, causing it to undergo a qualitative change.

The Sea Dragon Douluo's artifact is already 90,000 years old. If this small ball of energy is injected into it, it will easily rise to 100,000 years old.

"Buzz..."

Within minutes, the spirit ring began to turn red, officially entering the 100,000-year mark, and a red light enveloped the entire hall.

"It really worked!"

Everyone was astonished to see the red 100,000-year spirit ring. Without divine testing, the spirit ring's age could be increased simply by injecting energy.

Ye Liangchen then used the same method to upgrade the age of the first five soul rings of the Sea Dragon Douluo, increasing the age by 10,000 years for each ring, eventually turning them into eight black and one red.

"Eight blacks and one red, that's awesome..."

The Sea Witch, Seahorse, and others looked at Sea Dragon Douluo's current spirit rings with a hint of envy in their eyes.

"Xiao Chen, that's enough. Let's also increase the age of everyone's spirit rings. For example, let's increase everyone's ninth ring to 100,000 years. That would be good."

"Yes! That way, everyone gets a share."

Seeing the eager looks on the faces of the seahorse, sea witch, and Yali, Poseidon and Shuiyue decided to give everyone a boost as well.

"Pfft...! We hid it so well, and they still figured it out?"

The Sea Witch and Yali smiled playfully. Everyone wanted something like an increased Soul Ring age, but no one dared to say it out loud.

"grown ups……"

Seahorse Douluo and the others lowered their heads in embarrassment, having their thoughts exposed by Shui Yue'er and Poseidon.

"Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"

Poseidon chuckled. These subordinates were all guardians of Poseidon Island, so it was only right to help them improve their strength.

"Sea Witch, you go first."

Ye Liangchen gestured for the Sea Witch to reveal her spirit ring. After seeing the Sea Dragon Douluo's spirit ring upgrade, the girl kept looking at him with longing eyes, her face practically screaming "I want it!"

"Okay, teacher."

The sea witch hopped and skipped over to Ye Liangchen, revealing nine soul rings.

"Whoosh..."

Ye Liangchen followed suit, using energy to first upgrade the Sea Witch's ninth soul ring to 100,000 years, and then upgraded her first four soul rings to 10,000 years. This girl always called him teacher, so he couldn't be stingy.

"Haha...! Eight blacks and one red, now I have that too."

The sea witch jumped up excitedly when she saw her eight black and one red soul rings.

"This girl..."

Everyone was going crazy looking at the sea witch's excitement.

"This method seems to work!"

"I'll add some more energy and make everyone's spirit ring age the same as the Sea Witch's."

Upon seeing this, Shui Yue'er immediately mobilized the golden energy in the main hall and injected it into Ye Liangchen's spatial sphere.

With the energy replenished, Ye Liangchen once again upgraded the soul rings of Ya Li, Seahorse Douluo, and others to eight black and one red, the same as the Sea Witch's.

At first, only the Sea Dragon Douluo's spirit rings were upgraded to eight black and one red, which everyone envied. Now that everyone has them, people feel it's quite ordinary.

"Okay! Nothing else, I'll be going now."

After finishing these tasks, Ye Liangchen flew towards Dawn Valley.

"Everyone, return to your posts! Sea Dragon Douluo, from now on you will be in charge of arranging all the work on the island. Everyone must work together to protect Seagod Island."

Shuiyue'er and Poseidon left a divine thought in the Sea God's Palace, gave some instructions to everyone, and then flew towards Dawn Valley.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Sea God."

Hailong Douluo and the others respectfully bowed to Shui Yue'er. They understood that Shui Yue'er came from the mainland and would not stay on Seagod Island for long. Poseidon had also become a god and was now Shui Yue'er's subordinate, so she would probably leave with her as well.

……

Back in Dawn Valley, Ye Liangchen started a fire and cooked a meal, while Poseidon and Shuiyue went to the lake to catch fish and help out.

"Xiao Chen, when you were creating soul bones for everyone a couple of days ago, you used the Life Restoration skill to restore everyone's stamina, but it seems that you didn't summon any martial souls."

"After becoming a god, is it possible to stop using a martial soul?"

During their meal, Poseidon and Shuiyue recalled that Ye Liangchen seemed to have rarely used his martial spirit since becoming a god.

"After I became a god, the skills I unleashed using the power of the laws were all divine skills."

"I plan to dismantle my martial soul and soul rings, while retaining my soul skills and domain abilities to become divine skills, and using my Chun Jun Sword martial soul to condense a divine artifact."

"I heard that the Sea God's original martial spirit was that trident. He used it after becoming a god. It was based on the trident martial spirit and then used the power of faith to condense it into a divine weapon."

Ye Liangchen shared his thoughts with the two women. After becoming a god, if they were to use their martial soul and soul skills to fight, they would have to reveal their soul rings and chant soul incantations before the battle even began, which would seem too weak.

"That's right."

After hearing this, the two women also decided to dissolve their martial souls and soul rings. Poseidon, in particular, felt a little uncomfortable using the Sea God martial soul again.

After finishing his meal, Ye Liangchen began to dissolve his soul rings, but before that, he needed to find a place for Xiao Wu and the nine Dragon Kings' souls to rest.

Poseidon and Shuiyue watched quietly from the side, since they had never seen a soul ring melt away before, and they wanted Ye Liangchen to be the first to do so.

"Xiao Wu, all you Dragon Kings, please come out!"

Ye Liangchen revealed eighteen soul rings and four divine rings, and then used his divine sense to awaken the souls of Xiao Wu and the nine dragon kings.

"I never imagined you possessed four divine rings. You'll soon break through to the second-level god level..."

The souls of the Nine Dragon Kings emerged from Ye Liangchen's soul rings and were utterly astonished when they saw the four divine rings behind him.

In fact, the nine dragon kings sensed Ye Liangchen's ascension to godhood the moment he did, but because they were inside the spirit rings, they couldn't get out without Ye Liangchen's permission.

"It's just a small achievement, far from what our predecessors achieved back then."

"Seniors, I am about to dissolve my soul rings. Please enter the divine ring on my back to nourish your souls! Once I am stronger, I will rebuild your physical bodies."

Ye Liangchen smiled modestly, then let the nine dragon kings enter the divine ring.

"No need to rush. If you revive us now, the divine realm might be afraid. Let's wait until you have control over the divine realm!"

The nine dragon kings dared not allow Ye Liangchen to revive them, and then they all crawled into the first golden divine halo behind Ye Liangchen.

"Xiao Wu, you've changed a lot!"

Looking at Xiao Wu now, Shui Yue'er recalled that when this girl sacrificed herself, she was just a little girl, but now she has grown into a beautiful woman.

"Shuiyue'er, you've changed even more."

"I was able to grow into what I am today entirely thanks to the divine power that nourished Ye Liangchen."

Xiao Wu smiled sweetly, realizing that sacrificing herself to Ye Liangchen back then was indeed the wisest decision.

"Is this the 100,000-year-old rabbit soul beast that was sacrificed to you back then?"

Looking at the lovely girl in front of him, Poseidon sighed at how difficult it was for soul beasts to cultivate.

"Yes, she was mentally ill back then. As a juvenile transformed soul beast, she dared to follow Tang San to the Spirit Hall to participate in the Soul Master Competition," Ye Liangchen nodded.

"Ye Liangchen, I've already died once, and you still call me brain-dead."

Xiao Wu stomped her foot angrily, her little face puffed up like a little dolphin, which was kind of cute.

"Xiao Wu, don't be angry!"

Shuiyue'er rubbed Xiaowu's head, but since the other party was in a soul state, she could only rub it in vain.

"Xiao Wu, go into the green-gold halo behind me to rest. I will revive you and your mother after a while."

Ye Liangchen sensed that Xiao Wu's soul strength had reached the level of a Soul Douluo, so he let her enter the Life God Ring to continue recuperating.

"Thank you, Ye Liangchen."

"Whoosh..."

Xiao Wu was incredibly excited to hear that her mother would also be resurrected, and immediately slipped into Ye Liangchen's green-gold divine ring. As for that golden divine ring, it was filled with those Dragon King seniors; the bloodline suppression was too strong, and she dared not stay with those powerful figures.

After settling Xiao Wu's and the Nine Dragon Kings' souls, Ye Liangchen closed his eyes and used his divine sense to imprint the soul skills in all the soul rings, so that these soul skills would not disappear after the soul rings were dissolved.

"Spatial strangulation, spatial traversal, spatial transfer... Light of purification, divine light of life... Time reversal..."

"Swish...bang bang..."

Ye Liangchen then flew over the sea and used all the soul skills of his soul rings one by one, and then used his divine sense to imprint the effects of all the soul skills.

"The process of dissolving a spirit ring is quite complicated!"

"He did this to preserve those soul skills. If he didn't preserve them, those soul skills might disappear after the soul rings were dissolved."

Poseidon and Shuiyue stood on the shore, watching Ye Liangchen unleash his various powerful soul skills, and were immediately dazzled.

"Whoosh..."

Ye Liangchen imprinted all the skills from the spirit rings into his mind, then flew back to the shore and officially dissolved all 18 spirit rings.

"Spirit rings are essentially energy. When you dissolve a spirit ring, you need to absorb this energy to enhance your own strength."

"Buzz..."

Ye Liangchen explained the situation to the two women, and then used his divine power to transform these soul rings into his own energy.

As time passed, the spirit rings transformed into golden energy and merged into Ye Liangchen's body. The Goddess of Life Martial Soul was itself a manifestation of the soul, equivalent to the soul itself. Ye Liangchen retained it, since the spirit rings had disappeared anyway, and there was no need to summon the Martial Soul anymore.

"Whoosh..."

At this moment, Ye Liangchen used the Chun Jun Sword Martial Soul as a prototype, mobilized various divine powers of the laws of water, fire, wind, thunder, earth, space, time, light, darkness, life, and destruction, and then used his powerful divine sense to inject these divine powers of the laws into the sword Martial Soul, and began to forge it.

"Clang clang..."

With the infusion of various energies, the sword spirit emitted a clanging metallic sound and became more solid.

"How amazing! We don't have a weapon spirit, so it's a bit difficult to create our own divine weapon using this method."

"Divine artifacts can be formed by condensing energy. It's not too late to forge them when we are stronger."

Poseidon and Shuiyue stared intently at Ye Liangchen, plotting how to forge their respective divine artifacts.

"Whoosh..."

A month later, multicolored golden light emanated from Ye Liangchen's sword spirit, and the sword intent soared into the sky. At this moment, the Chun Jun sword spirit was officially promoted to a divine weapon.

"Xiao Chen, did you succeed?"

Upon seeing this, the two women immediately flew to Ye Liangchen's side and observed the longsword in Ye Liangchen's hand that emitted multicolored light.

"That's right, now I also have my own divine artifact. Let's go to the starry sky outside Douluo Star and show off the power of the divine artifact."

Ye Liangchen nodded excitedly, then pulled the two women and flew towards the outside of Douluo Star. This time, Ye Liangchen not only created his own divine artifact, but also developed various divine skills using multiple laws and divine powers.

"The wind sweeps away the remaining clouds"

"Huff huff..."

Waterspout

"Splash... splash..."

"Nine Heavens Thunder Slash"

"Boom... Swish..."

"..."

Arriving in the starry sky outside Douluo Star, Ye Liangchen wielded the Chun Jun Sword and unleashed eleven divine skills of different attributes, including wind, water, and lightning. He felt quite good about it.

"Wind attribute, water attribute, lightning attribute... His artifact combines so many different attribute skills. It seems he really put in a lot of effort over the past month."

"Indeed, it's best to forge your own divine artifacts."

At this moment, Poseidon and Shuiyue'er had no time to appreciate the scenery in the starry sky; they were completely stunned by Ye Liangchen's divine skills.
