To everyone's relief, this massive burst of Abyssal energy didn't seem to be a move from the Abyss side, but rather Su Ming's own doing.
Of course, the fluctuation of such a massive cluster of Abyssal energy also caught the Abyssal Sage King's attention.
He could sense it—it was his own arm.
It had simply been isolated earlier, not completely devoured by the Tree of Life.
Through his large hand, he could perceive Su Ming's state.
His heart stirred. He wanted to seize the opportunity to take control of this energy and strike a fatal blow at Su Ming.
Su Ming was undergoing a breakthrough—his most vulnerable moment.
Although he was timid, acting as steady as an old dog before the Douluo God Realm, the Abyssal Sage King wasn't made of clay either. His journey here had not been without decisive and ruthless actions.
When circumstances forced him, of course he would be cautious. But if an opportunity presented itself and he didn't seize it, then he would truly be a fool.
And so, the Abyssal energy around Su Ming rapidly began to converge, once again condensing into a large hand.
As the large black hand condensed, the Spirit Masters cried out in alarm.
From the Second Peak, watching from afar, Di Tian's expression changed slightly. He didn't hesitate, extending his right hand, which transformed into a dragon's claw. As it reached out, space itself was torn apart, directly intercepting the large black hand.
At this moment, Su Ming could not afford any mishap.
Su Ming's eyes remained closed, unaffected by the external changes. He was still stabilizing the Spiritual Spirit Core in his Sea of Consciousness.
A huge eye appeared above his head. The phantom of the eye seemed to vaguely overlap with the vortex. Deep within the eye was endless indifference.
Chaos looked at the approaching large black hand, showing no fear. It simply opened its eye wide.
Domain of Chaos.
Chaos Force.
The eye detached from the vortex, directly met the large black hand—a fragile eye head-on against the Abyssal Sage King's massive black hand!
Di Tian's expression also changed slightly.
Nevertheless, his Dragon God Claw is still heavily wounded the large black hand.
The eye collided with the large black hand, shattering in an instant.
Subsequently, Chaos's power is completely integrated into this pitch-black mass of Abyssal energy.
Within Chaos, faiths of various colors emerged—precisely the numerous faith streams from Su Ming's Sea of Consciousness—instantly suppressing the Abyssal Sage King's control over the Abyssal energy.
Then, Chaos began to fuse the Abyssal energy.
The Abyssal Sage King could only watch helplessly as his own power was seized.
The power of Chaos could integrate all forces. Coupled with the influence of Su Ming's Trinity, Chaos was currently Su Ming's third Martial Soul, rooted in Elemental Control, and also showed a tendency to evolve toward Energy Control.
Externally and internally promoting each other, it underwent evolution.
The eye is completely transformed into pitch black, as if spiral patterns flowed within it, drawing people in unconsciously, as if falling into an abyss.
After evolving, Chaos returned to Su Ming's body.
Suddenly, a pitch-black Spirit Ring began to gather around Su Ming.
"What's happening?"
After the large black hand was destroyed by Chaos, why would a Spirit Ring appear?
No one could answer their confusion.
The deities in the God Realm each had varied expressions. They could condense God-Enshrined Spirit Rings using the power of the God Realm, and were somewhat less constrained by the standard rules of Spirit Rings. But even they were still impressed seeing Su Ming condense a Spirit Ring directly from a part of the Abyssal Sage King's own body.
The Abyssal Sage King was also resisting Su Ming's faith. But when he finally pushed through that faith and was able to influence this power, he despaired.
He had expanded energy on this side, yet this power was now shrouded by a powerful rule. This was a fundamental rule of the Douluo plane, and it was currently converting a Spirit Ring for Su Ming.
From within the Spirit Ring being formed, strands of golden light burst forth. Against the pitch-black resembling the abyss, they were strikingly conspicuous, as if they were the only light to escape the abyss's devouring.
The golden light rapidly spread across the Spirit Ring, transforming into intricate golden patterns.
A black-gold Spirit Ring condensed into form, then settled around Su Ming's body.
Under the awe-struck gazes of the Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts below, Su Ming's seven Spirit Rings arranged themselves in sequence.
Black, Black, Black, Black, Red, Rose Gold, Black-Gold!
Two of them actually contained gold!
"Is this guy even human?"
Even Di Tian couldn't help but be astonished.
Su Ming still sat cross-legged atop the Tree of Life.
The Spirit Ring had already fused, naturally breaking through the level seventy bottleneck.
His Spiritual Spirit Core had also condensed.
But right now, all his energy could only be used to maintain the balance within his body.
He had too little Spirit Power!
Chaos brought the power of the large black hand into Su Ming's body, where it underwent the baptism of the three Spirit Cores together with his Spirit Power, bit by bit transforming into Su Ming's own Spirit Power.
At the same time, the Star Tree appeared behind Su Ming, seemingly fused with the Tree of Life, drawing vast amounts of life energy from it.
The second Spirit Ring it represented shone brilliantly. The Star Tree's size continuously expanded, blotting out the sky.
Not until a thread of blood-red light burst from Su Ming's pitch-black second Spirit Ring, dyeing the entire ring blood-red in an instant, did the Star Tree finally stop devouring, returning to Su Ming's body with vast amounts of energy.
At this point, Chaos had completed the task of absorbing the Abyssal energy for Su Ming. The Star Tree had used this power to digest the life energy for Su Ming.
After the Star Tree, the Blue Silver Emperor also emerged, also devouring life energy to help Su Ming refine it.
Within the Sea of Consciousness, Di Rui looked left and right at the others, each with their tasks to complete. She stared eagerly at the Spiritual Spirit Core in Su Ming's Sea of Consciousness.
What should I do?
Su Ming hadn't assigned her a task.
She didn't need to do anything. Simply sitting in the Sea of Consciousness was the greatest help she could provide.
Only now did Su Ming slowly open his eyes.
Inside him, his Spirit Power was now sufficiently full.
Sensing it, he revealed a smile.
Among his three main bodies, this Douluo 2 body had been at the lowest Spirit Power level for a long time. Now, it had finally caught up.
Level seventy-eight!
After breaking through level seventy, his Spirit Power level had been locked. The newly cultivated Spirit Power couldn't be displayed. In just over two months, he hadn't even gained a single level.
Yet, the power of the Abyssal Sage King's two large hands, combined with the life energy the Tree of Life had devoured over these two months, directly propelled his Spirit Power forward in a rapid leap.
Unbelievable.
The Douluo 3 Su Ming had also once devored a hand of the Abyssal Sage King. Adding part of the power left behind after Bear Lord's death and the power of the lightning tribulation, he had raised his level to seventy-five in a short time.
The main contributor was naturally the Abyssal Sage King's large hand; Bear Lord and the lightning tribulation had been largely consumed before the Douluo 3 Su Ming broke through level seventy.
Moreover, the Douluo 3 Abyssal Sage King's hand wasn't particularly strong; it had crossed the planar channel, penetrated deep into Douluo Star, and broken through a layer of seal, suffering significant loss.
The two hands obtained by the Douluo 2 Su Ming were different. They had almost no loss and were very intact.
Therefore, even though increasing Spirit Power level for the Douluo 2 body was more difficult, it still soared like a rocket to level seventy-eight!
Su Ming slowly stood up, moving his limbs.
Although he hadn't reached level eighty, he no longer needed to focus all his mind on stabilizing his internal state.
Below, the Spirit Masters were stunned.
They stared at the Spirit Rings beneath Su Ming's feet, questioning reality.
Black, Red, Black, Black, Red, Rose Gold, Black-Gold!
