Time gradually passed, and in the blink of an eye, the moon was already high in the sky.
Under the night sky, on a cliff hundreds of miles away from the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest, after more than half a day of refining, the refinement of the hundred-thousand-year-old Titan Giant Ape soul ring was nearing its end.
After a long while, Mu Yang finally completed the refinement of the hundred-thousand-year soul ring of the Titan Giant Ape. A surge of soul power erupted from his body, his soul power level broke through the limit, and he advanced to Rank 73 Soul Sage.
More importantly, upon attaching the seventh soul ring, his gains were not limited to just the breakthrough in soul power level. In his Sea of Consciousness, the full moon that symbolized his spiritual power cultivation began to radiate brilliant moonlight.
With his soul power advancing to the seventh ring and the comprehensive boost brought by the hundred-thousand-year soul ring, his spiritual power realm made a qualitative leap again. The cultivation level of the "Lunar Spirit Refinement" technique broke through from the third stage Full Moon Peak to the fourth stage Luminous Moon.
This meant that even without any amplification, his spiritual power was no weaker than that of an ordinary newly advanced Rank 90 Title Douluo.
Sensing the unprecedentedly excellent condition of his body, Mu Yang opened his eyes and looked at the seven soul rings glowing from his body—yellow, purple, black, black, black, black, red—a sense of achievement couldn't help but rise in his heart.
Say what you will, just based on this soul ring configuration alone, aside from Bibi Dong's second martial soul, there wasn't another person in the current soul master world who could compare to him.
Feeling a bit proud, Mu Yang turned his gaze toward his Icefire Immortal Jade Ginseng martial soul.
Similar to the transformations seen after past advancements, after reaching the seventh ring, the Icefire Immortal Jade Ginseng martial soul had undergone several changes. Besides the ginseng body becoming slightly thicker, the most significant change was the appearance of a violet ring pattern on the jade-like ginseng body, in addition to the previous six colors—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, and blue.
"Mu Yang, is the hundred-thousand-year Martial Soul True Body super powerful?"
At this moment, seeing that Mu Yang had awakened, Shui Bing'er, who had been guarding by his side, stepped forward and asked impatiently.
Mu Yang smiled and nodded, "Of course!"
Compared to ten-thousand-year soul rings, hundred-thousand-year soul rings were an absolute qualitative leap.
All other conditions being equal, soul skills formed from hundred-thousand-year soul rings would always be a tier stronger than those formed from ninety-thousand-year rings.
Generally speaking, a hundred-thousand-year soul ring could produce two hundred-thousand-year soul skills. Even if only one appeared, it would undoubtedly be an extremely powerful one.
However, the seventh soul skill was special. Every soul master's seventh soul skill was the Martial Soul True Body, and each martial soul could only have one Martial Soul True Body—it was impossible for a second to exist.
Then, Mu Yang began chanting a soul incantation. The crimson seventh soul ring lit up, and as surging soul power poured forth, the Icefire Immortal Jade Ginseng martial soul suspended before him radiated a dazzling violet brilliance.
Soon, under the radiance of this brilliant violet light, a three-inch-long leafless violet ginseng manifested.
Holding this violet ginseng—which had consumed a great deal of soul power to create—Mu Yang said, "Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Body: Violet Jade Xuanhuang Ginseng.
After I consume it, within half an hour, aside from soul power depletion, I can create unlimited quantities of ginsengs below the seventh ring level, and all effects of these ginsengs are increased by 100%.
If given to others to consume, then for the next soul skill used after ingestion, its effect will be enhanced by 100%.
Moreover, the Violet Jade Xuanhuang Ginseng is special—once created, as long as it's not damaged, the effect is permanent with no expiration time."
"100%?!"
Instantly, Shui Bing'er widened her ice-blue beautiful eyes.
Not only her—even Huo Lie and the other three nearby were staring at Mu Yang with faces full of shock.
Mu Yang nodded and said, "That's right, exactly 100%!
After consuming the Violet Jade Xuanhuang Ginseng, disregarding the soul power ginsengs that are hard to quantify like the Crimson Jade Soul-Returning Ginseng, the Orange Jade Blood-Replenishing Ginseng, and the Yellow Jade Detoxification Ginseng, the Jade Guarding Ginseng's immunity to physical and energy damage increases from 30% to 60%.
The Cyan Jade Thorn Ginseng's damage reflection rate goes from 40% to 80%, and the Blue Jade Ascending Dragon Ginseng's all-attribute enhancement rate rises from 40% to 80%.
You could say, with the boost from the Violet Jade Xuanhuang Ginseng, the effects of all my soul power ginsengs have undergone a qualitative transformation."
Say no more, just the Blue Jade Ascending Dragon Ginseng with Martial Soul True Body's boost was nearly equivalent to the top auxiliary soul master in the world.
After all, the person currently known as the "Number One Auxiliary" in the continent's soul master world, Ning Fengzhi, only provided five-attribute enhancements of 80%, plus one healing-type soul skill.
"Amazing!"
Shui Bing'er gave a thumbs up.
As expected of a hundred-thousand-year soul skill—the amplification effect was nothing short of explosive.
"That's not all it's capable of. Bing'er, just imagine—if the user was a Rank 90+ power attack type Title Douluo, with an 80% all-attribute boost from the Blue Jade Ascending Dragon Ginseng, then using their next soul skill under the effect of the Violet Jade Xuanhuang Ginseng—what would their ninth soul skill's power be like?"
Mu Yang said with a smile.
The ninth soul skill of a power attack type Title Douluo was already an immensely powerful ultimate move. With an 80% all-attribute enhancement and that skill's power being doubled, it could likely destroy the Martial Soul True Body of a same-rank Title Douluo in one strike.
"Hiss~"
As soon as the words fell, Huo Lie and the other three all gasped sharply.
Indeed, this Violet Jade Xuanhuang Ginseng didn't just have overwhelming effects when used by Mu Yang himself—it also offered an immense boost when used by other powerful individuals.
After that, weighing the Violet Jade Xuanhuang Ginseng in his hand, Mu Yang directly consumed it.
Immediately afterward, the Spirit Gold Battle Armor manifested, boosting his soul power base to the level of nine rings. Then, the soul rings on his body began to shine in succession as he started producing various soul power ginsengs.
Before advancing to the seventh ring, Mu Yang had played it safe and refrained from using the Soul Capturing Secret Technique against the hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape, to avoid the risk of mental backlash.
But now that he had broken through, Mu Yang believed he no longer needed to be so cautious.
His spiritual power realm had already stepped into the level of nine rings. Combined with the boost from the Spirit Gold Battle Armor and the 80% all-attribute enhancement from the Blue Jade Ascending Dragon Ginseng—including spiritual attributes—there was no longer any possibility of mental backlash when using the "True illusion Technique" against hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.
Hmm, he couldn't guarantee it against hundred-thousand-year spirit-type soul beasts, but as for other types, there definitely wouldn't be a problem.
The Soul Capturing Secret Technique could control the target's mind. If nothing went wrong, with his current strength, he should already be capable of controlling the Sky Azure Bull Python to perform a sacrificial offering.
Compared to acquiring a hundred-thousand-year soul ring through killing a soul beast, having the soul beast willingly sacrifice itself definitely came with advantages.
When a hundred-thousand-year soul beast willingly sacrificed itself, the process could be completed in a short time, saving the soul master from the relatively lengthy period needed to refine the soul ring and soul bone.
And more importantly, when obtaining a soul ring through a sacrificial offering, the entire process didn't test the soul master's physical constitution. Even if the soul master had a frail body, they could still possess a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
Of course, speaking strictly about Mu Yang himself, whether or not he could use the Soul Capturing Secret Technique to control a hundred-thousand-year soul beast into performing a sacrificial offering wasn't particularly crucial—at most, it would just save him some time on refining the soul ring and soul bone.
After all, with his overall capabilities, there was no doubt he could attach a hundred-thousand-year soul ring without issue.
