As the glowing orb descended onto Tang Yin's palm, he studied it with furrowed brows. He could feel it pulsing, yet he couldn't grasp the principle behind a soul ring that could grant the most suitable skill and configuration.
Bo Saixi explained in a steady, patient tone,
"Normally, the Sea God would have granted the soul ring directly as a blessing, merging it with you the moment you were qualified. But because you chose to delay, the God of Ocean condensed that blessing into this form instead. What you're holding now is His reward. Simply crush it, and the soul ring will appear and fuse with you naturally."
Tang Yin raised a brow as he casually asked,
"You could've just given it to me earlier. Then you wouldn't have had to trouble yourself by coming to see us every week."
It was true—ever since the blessing had been delayed, Bo Saixi made it a point to visit once a week and ask if he was ready to receive the Sea God's reward. Even she herself couldn't fully explain why.
Deep down, she knew it wasn't duty alone that kept bringing her back. Each time her gaze lingered on Tang Yin, it stirred something she couldn't suppress. His resemblance to Tang Chen—her one true lover—pulled at her heart with a force she didn't dare admit.
Bo Saixi's expression hardened, a faint frown tugging at her lips. "Are you implying that you find my presence unpleasant?" she asked him coldly. "Very well then, I won't trouble you."
Tang Yin fumbled, hastily reaching for her hand to stop her from storming off—but in his clumsy rush, he stumbled, brushing closely against her bossom. A sudden, electrifying jolt surged down Bo Saixi's spine, sending a wave of ecstasy and leaving her momentarily dazed.
"Aah—" she gasped, biting her lips in reflex as she struggled to regain her composure. Over two hundred years of life had never prepared her for such sudden intimacy. A single virgin woman even after 200 years, she couldn't make sense of the unfamiliar sensations.
Her pulse raced, her chest fluttered, and even the slightest touch from him left her dizzy with this unfamiliar emotion. Meanwhile, Tang Yin was scared out of his wits, worried he might have accidentally offended her.
Tang Yin stepped back immediately; he wasn't foolish enough to seek death. "Please… don't misunderstand, It wasn't intentional." he said quickly, his voice was earnest and tinged with a hint of pleading.
"I truly appreciate you and your presence and find it… pleasant. Not just me—everyone finds you beautiful and looks up to you," he said, gesturing toward Erlong and Tang Yuehua.
Both nodded eagerly, their admiration for Bo Saixi evident. On this island, she was not only strong but also deeply respected by everyone.
Bo Saixi smiled faintly, a warm surge of pride and happiness filling her heart at his praise and the admiration of others, momentarily forgetting the earlier incident
"Then that's good. Alright, I'll look after you until you finish absorbing your soul ring," she said generously, her tone calm yet carrying a subtle hint of fondness.
The girls were about to absorb their soul rings when he abruptly stopped them mid-action.
"Wait for me to absorb mine first. I'm sure my Blue Silver Domain will evolve after I obtain my seventh ring, it might help you maximize your soul ring configuration." He explained.
The girls readily agreed, finding his reasoning plausible, and forced themselves to be patient. Bo Saixi, meanwhile, pondered silently. She wasn't familiar with his Blue Silver Domain, but she refrained from prying.
A moment later, Tang Yin settled cross-legged below the stairs. As he crushed the glowing orb, a white soul ring formed around him. He was suspended mid-air during the process.
His previous six rings—two yellow, two purple, one black, and one red—hovered in formation, revealing his unique configuration.
Bo Saixi's eyes widened in genuine surprise. Tang yin's soul ring configuration exceeded the normal limits. But she didn't press the girls for explanations, choosing instead to observe silently as his seventh soul ring began to shift colors—from yellow to purple, then black, and finally red—with the hues intensifying steadily.
Six Hours Later—
As Tang Yin bore the immense pressure with his raw, monstrous physique, relentlessly testing his limits, something extraordinary happened: his fifth soul ring began evolving in unison with the seventh, changing from black to red and leaving Bo Saixi dumbfounded.
This was far beyond extraordinary. Most of the girls knew of Tang Yin's natal soul ring, which would grow alongside him, enabling such an unprecedented evolution so they weren't that surprised in comparison.
Meanwhile—
Unbeknownst to them, Tang Yin could feel his fifth soul ring subtly guiding the evolution of his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline toward its next stage. Full evolution would likely complete only when it reached the million-year-old limit.
His mental power and physical endurance were being pushed to their absolute limits.
The simultaneous evolution of his fifth soul ring, combined with the absorption of his seventh ring, demanded every ounce of his strength to withstand the mounting pressure.
Finally, Tang Yin reached the limits of his endurance. Even his healing factor began to falter. The seventh soul ring had reached an age comparable to 400,000 years, while the fifth soul ring had only grown to 200,000 years before his consciousness started to waver.
"Tang Yin!" the girls shouted in alarm, their voices tinged with worry when they saw him collapse midair from sheer exhaustion.
Bo Saixi instinctively tried to stabilize him with her soul power, but before she could intervene, a pure white cocoon of concentrated soul energy enveloped him, quietly drawing in the surrounding Heaven and Earth Energy.
He was undergoing a metamorphosis. Bathed in the heaven and earth energy, his body was purified by the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, while his Blue Silver Domain, Blue Silver Heart, and Eighth Spider Wings evolved in perfect sync with his bloodline evolution.
Ten Hours Later—
Tang Yin had already regained consciousness after resting and sensed that his two External Soul Bones were also evolving, seamlessly integrating with his Blue Silver Domain and harmonizing perfectly with his bloodline.
Suddenly, the Extreme Devouring Attribute of the Blue Silver Heart and Eight Spider Wings began to resonate and transform, evolving as they merged with his Blue Silver Bloodline, strengthened by the repeated absorption of devouring-attribute soul rings.
"No—way. Could the Extreme Devouring Attribute actually evolve further?" Tang Yin thought, pure excitement surging through him. Optimism filled his mind, and his imagination ran wild with endless possibilities.
The Devouring Attribute of his bloodline was advancing toward the Ultimate Devouring, a transformation triggered by the resonance of his Martial Soul's Extreme devouring attribute with his two External Soul Bones.
As the Devouring Attribute neared its Ultimate form, Tang Yin's excited expression suddenly darkened. He could feel his Ultimate Life Force rejecting the Ultimate Devouring attribute, his vitality subtly being consumed—something far beyond anything he had imagined.
"How… could this be?" His face contorted into a scowl at the unexpected development. Even the Heaven and Earth energy around him was being devoured without restraint.
"This… this is a disaster!" Tang Yin panicked for a moment, his mind racing for a solution.
He began berating himself for his foolishness. How could Ultimate Life & Ultimate Devouring, two contradictory attributes, coexist in a single wuhun? It was only possible if he could create a Yin-yang soul core. But he wasn't ready yet.
Then he took a deep, steadying breath, forcing himself to calm down. There was still time—he could strip himself of this bloodline while the Heaven & Earth energy was still changing his body to free himself. But he also didn't want to lose the Ultimate Devouring Attribute.
Suddenly, an idea struck him, and his face lit up. "Yes! Why didn't I think of this before? My External Soul Bones are part of my body and possess the Extreme Devouring Attribute. If I channel my Ultimate Bloodline essence into the Eight Spider Wings, it could be far more useful in the future than the Blue Silver Heart."
Tang Yin slowly began to focus, channeling his Blue Silver Bloodline, which contained the Ultimate Devouring Attribute, and carefully separating it from his Ultimate Life, temporarily halting the clash between the two forces.
This was the true advantage of the Spirit Body—complete mastery over every part of body.
The essence of Ultimate Devouring Attribute from Tang Yin's bloodline began to flow freely into his Eight Spider Wings, guided effortlessly by his Spirit Body, which allowed him to control every part of his form with absolute precision.
The process unfolded surprisingly smoothly, further accelerated by the surrounding Heaven and Earth energy, seamlessly integrating the power into his wings. Finally, it was successful.
Tang Yin finally breathed a sigh of relief as he slowly emerged from the cocoon. Bo Saixi's face suddenly flushed crimson, prompting him to raise an eyebrow as he asked casually.
"Is there something wrong?" Glancing around, he noticed the others gesturing downward—and realized he was completely commando.
But he noticed Bo Saixi sneaking a glance at his little brother, and his heart swelled with pride. With a calm expression, he retrieved a fresh set of clothes from his storage ring and dressed himself.
