Chapter 12: The Ultimate Application of Life Transformation: Great Desolation Scripture!
"Village Chief Grandpa!"
Half a year had passed, and when Chu Chen, whose appearance and physique had long since changed drastically, returned to the village, Tutu had almost failed to recognize him. It was only after a few shouts from Chu Chen that he finally recognized him.
"Child, you've returned."
Tutu was overjoyed. He hurriedly took Chu Chen home and prepared a sumptuous meal. When he heard that Chu Chen had already become a Soul Master, he was even happier, unable to close his mouth from smiling.
"Good, good. After so many years, our village has produced another Soul Master," Tutu kept muttering.
After returning to the village, Chu Chen shared some of the things he had bought with the villagers, and left the rest at Tutu's house.
The rare vacation was quite pleasant for Chu Chen for a few days, but after the brief relaxation, Chu Chen began to adjust his state, preparing for his second Soul Ring.
...
In the forest behind Emperor Soul Village.
Each stalk of Blue Silver Grass was infected by the aura of the Blue Silver Emperor, becoming incredibly robust in a short time. A deep blue aura surrounded them, like an ocean—ethereal, vast, and boundless.
Chu Chen landed in the very center of the Blue Silver Grass. He then gathered his own power, using the Bloodline Power of the Blue Silver Emperor to absorb the life aura of the surrounding plants.
Within a radius of several tens of meters, all the plants withered, and their rich, surging vitality completely flowed into Chu Chen's body, transforming into an extremely powerful force.
"This power can not only be used to enhance strength and speed, but it can even strengthen my Soul Skill!"
Chu Chen extended his hand, and the Blue Silver Emperor condensed into a long sword. Then, under the control of his Spiritual Power, the range from which he could absorb vitality grew larger and larger, finally expanding to a radius of thirty meters!
Seeing the surrounding plants completely wither and pure life force surge into his body, Chu Chen swung his sword.
"Boom!"
With one swing, a blue-gold sword light erupted, cutting down a large area of trees in front and striking the mountain behind, leaving a sword mark that could not fade for a long time.
Chu Chen was delighted. He then changed the form of the Blue Silver Emperor, turning it into a long spear and throwing it out. The immense penetrating power directly pierced through the rock, breaking out from the other side of the mountain.
"Amazing!"
A wave of wild joy surged within Chu Chen. Clearly, he was becoming increasingly familiar with the use of this ability.
Looking at the surrounding plants that had exhausted their life energy for his use, leaving behind a barren wasteland, Chu Chen muttered to himself: "Using the characteristics of the Blue Silver Emperor to create this life-transforming Soul Skill, I might as well call it... the Great Desolation Scripture!"
And currently, with his power, he could only absorb life energy within a radius of thirty meters at most.
As his strength improves, perhaps the Great Desolation Scripture will be able to perfectly cover several miles, or even tens of miles—it is entirely possible!
"Relying on the Great Desolation Scripture, I can completely erupt with combat power beyond my own limits in a short time. It is one of my major trump cards."
Chu Chen knew that even though he had created a Soul Skill like the Great Desolation Scripture, it still needed constant improvement.
Perhaps in the future, he would be able to instantly absorb the life force within a hundred miles and convert it into vitality for his own use!
Such tremendous power would be terrifying beyond imagination.
Now, in Chu Chen's hands, the Blue Silver Emperor's abilities were fully utilized. Aside from its greatest advantage—life—it could also serve in assault, control, and support roles!
"After transforming the Blue Silver Emperor into different forms, it can serve different purposes, including control."
Chu Chen stood up. He was now basically proficient in his cultivation of the Blue Silver Emperor, so he returned to the village, planning to set off for the Star Dou Great Forest early tomorrow morning to obtain his second Soul Ring.
Speaking of controlling Blue Silver Grass... one had to mention a certain idiot Master.
Ever since the beginning of the semester, after suffering two setbacks from Chu Chen, Yu Xiaogang no longer thought about taking Chu Chen as his disciple. However, he would still appear from time to time, seemingly wanting to use his "rich" theoretical knowledge to attract Chu Chen's attention.
Chu Chen couldn't be bothered with him; once, he even gave that guy a slap with the Blue Silver Emperor.
...
Early the next morning, after saying goodbye to Tutu, Chu Chen set off. He traveled all the way to the outskirts of Notting City, found a carriage there, and officially began his journey toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
Throughout the journey, Chu Chen naturally spent his time Cultivating.
When he arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest, he did not choose to stay in the familiar small town for too long, but instead entered the forest alone.
This time, he was entering the real Star Dou Great Forest.
Numerous ferocious Soul Beasts lived here, and the level of danger was countless times higher than the forest where the Blue Silver King resided. Therefore, after arriving here, Chu Chen unleashed his Blue Silver Domain!
"Blue Silver Domain."
The intangible Blue Silver Domain spread outward. In a place like the Star Dou Great Forest, Blue Silver Grass was everywhere, so the range that the Blue Silver Domain could cover was even wider.
The Blue Silver Domain not only allowed Chu Chen to perceive possible dangers around him at any time, but also allowed him to use his special communication ability with the Blue Silver Grass to search for a Soul Beast suitable for him!
"A Soul Beast with the life attribute is probably hard to find in this outermost area..."
Chu Chen moved quickly through the Star Dou Great Forest. As he went deeper, the Blue Silver Domain, under Chu Chen's control, expanded to its maximum limit.
This was the maximum range Chu Chen could control the release of the Blue Silver Domain; any Soul Beast that entered the range of the Blue Silver Domain could be detected by Chu Chen.
"Roar..."
Low roars of Soul Beasts could be heard around him. Chu Chen stopped in his tracks. Clusters of the Blue Silver Emperor quickly condensed into a long sword beneath his feet as he vigilantly looked ahead.
Along the way, Chu Chen had already dealt with a few hundred-year Soul Beasts. Now, hundred-year Soul Beasts were naturally not within his consideration; he had to go deeper.
"The Blue Silver Grass should be able to guide me to the place with the most abundant vitality; in the surroundings there, I will surely be able to find a Soul Beast with the life attribute."
Lush Blue Silver Grass grew all around, continuously guiding Chu Chen forward, heading in a certain direction.
About an hour later, Chu Chen landed on a towering tree. Feeling the rich life aura around him, he felt refreshed. Who would have thought such a place existed in the outer reaches of the Star Dou Great Forest!
"As expected! There are Soul Beasts with the life attribute here!"
Chu Chen's tone was excited. Just after arriving here, he had already locked onto a few Soul Beasts, all of which had the life attribute.
And among them, there was no lack of plant-type Soul Beasts.
"This is... a Seven-Colored Spirit Deer, an agile life-attribute Soul Beast, and there's an Undying Green Vine. Good stuff."
Chu Chen looked at the Undying Green Vine that covered almost a hundred-meter radius, his pupils shaking.
"From the academy's records, I know that this Undying Green Vine possesses an undying and indestructible vitality. Even a single seed or a speck of dust can take root and grow again in a short time, and it possesses extremely strong piercing power. Looking at the age of this Undying Green Vine..."
"I'm afraid it's over four thousand years old."
