After fusing the Golden Tree Left Arm Bone, Ye Yu tested the two new Spirit Abilities granted by his Ninth Spirit Ring, as well as the two Bone Skills granted by the newly fused Spirit Bone.
Once testing was complete, Ye Yu gave names to the two Spirit Abilities from his Ninth Ring:
Golden Body and Metal Devour.
Golden Body's effect was to transform Ye Yu's Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree Martial Soul into a golden metallic form, granting it the metal attribute.
This state greatly enhanced its defensive power and sharpness, while not significantly increasing its weight.
While in this golden state, all Spirit Abilities cast using the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree Martial Soul would also become golden.
For example, the two core Spirit Abilities from his Eighth Spirit Ring: Forest of Trees Descending and True Thousand Hands.
The tree summoned by Advent of a World of Flowering Trees would transform into a golden Blue Silver Domain Tree, and the Blue Silver Thousand-Hand Buddha summoned by True Thousand Hands would also become golden.
Ye Yu had already tested all of this.
Among them, the Golden Thousand-Hand Buddha, once summoned, could be controlled by Ye Yu using mental power, like a puppet master controlling his marionette.
Inside one of its arms, he constructed a complete meridian system, and then cast his self-created Spirit Ability — Thunder-Magnetic Body.
He discovered that the electromagnetic field generated by Thunder-Magnetic Body could indeed propel the golden arm of the Blue Silver Thousand-Hand Buddha.
That fist, driven by electromagnetic force, could be launched with immense force — not only was its speed faster than lightning, but it was also wreathed in terrifying arcs of thunder, packing explosive power.
However, Ye Yu wasn't yet capable of simultaneously controlling all one thousand arms of the Blue Silver Thousand-Hand Buddha to execute Thunder-Magnetic Body.
To do so, he would need to construct a meridian system in each arm, and cast either Thunder-Magnetic Body or Thunderburst Step through all of them at once.
That would produce maximum output — but was also the most technically difficult.
There was, however, a compromise.
Instead of building individual systems, he could treat the summoned Blue Silver Thousand-Hand Buddha as a single entity, and cast Thunder-Magnetic Body across its whole form.
This would create an enormous electromagnetic field, allowing all one thousand arms to be wreathed in lightning and blast forward with astonishing force and speed.
The power would be weaker than the original plan, but still formidable.
For now, Ye Yu's spiritual power wasn't strong enough to construct meridian systems across all one thousand arms of the Buddha — and cast abilities through them simultaneously.
Additionally, the soul strength and intelligence of the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree Martial Soul hadn't yet reached the necessary level.
The sub-bodies it created were initially driven by instinct and had poor body control.
Otherwise...
Given that the Martial Soul now had a physical form and had started developing intelligence, the Blue Silver Thousand-Hand Buddha summoned by True Thousand Hands was, in truth, a special sub-body of the Martial Soul.
It naturally inherited the material form and instinctive intelligence of the main Martial Soul.
If the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree Martial Soul's soul strength and intelligence were high enough...
Then the sub-bodies it spawned — including the Buddha — would also possess notable sentience.
At that point, the Blue Silver Thousand-Hand Buddha could construct a thousand sets of human-like meridian systems on its own arms...
And simultaneously unleash Thunder-Magnetic Body, using the electromagnetic field to propel its fists — unleashing the Electromagnetic-Propelled Blue Silver Meteor Fist, a technique powerful enough to shatter the heavens and crush the earth!
As for Metal Devour, its effect was to consume metal, allowing the Martial Soul to inherit the properties of the absorbed materials.
At present, Metal Devour could consume four different types of metal, each bestowing its own attributes to the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree.
After finishing his testing of the two Spirit Abilities granted by the Ninth Ring, Ye Yu moved on to the two Bone Skills from the Golden Tree Left Arm Bone.
He gave them the Storm:
Golden Barrier and Golden Tempest.
Golden Barrier condensed a golden shield with immense durability — strong enough to completely block even 100,000-year-level Spirit Abilities.
Golden Tempest, on the other hand, summoned a storm of countless razor-sharp golden leaves, sweeping outward in a raging tempest that shredded everything in its path.
It could also be focused into a tornado, targeting a specific direction or area.
Having finished absorbing both the 100,000-year Golden Tree's Spirit Ring and the Left Arm Bone, and now breaking through to the rank of Title Douluo...
Ye Yu estimated his Spirit Power had risen to nearly Rank 92.
It was time to go looking for the Beast God — Di Tian!
After leaving the Blue Silver Domain, Ye Yu's body transformed into a streak of lightning, shooting straight toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
In just half a day, Ye Yu crossed nearly a quarter of the entire Douluo Continent and arrived at the forest.
He headed straight for the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.
From far in the sky, Ye Yu could already see it — that vast, endless lake, clear as a sapphire gemstone.
The Lake of Life.
By the lakeside, under the shade of the trees, the Titan Giant Ape lay sound asleep, snoring heavily.
Meanwhile, the Sky Azure Bull Python glided leisurely through the water, occasionally diving below the surface.
Ye Yu didn't pay them any attention.
He directly activated the Blue Silver Domain, pushing it to its maximum range and aiming it at the earth beside the Lake of Life.
In that instant, a silver-blue light beam erupted from Ye Yu's body like a laser, piercing directly into the ground.
The Lake of Life spanned over 20,000 square kilometers.
But since Ye Yu had deliberately avoided the two 100,000-year Spirit Beasts, neither of them noticed anything strange.
Using the Blue Silver Domain to scan beneath the surface...
After some time searching, Ye Yu finally found a hidden cavern buried ten kilometers underground beneath the lake.
At that very moment, inside the cavern, Di Tian and a number of other fierce Spirit Beasts suddenly sensed an unfamiliar force invading — and vanishing just as quickly.
Di Tian and the other beasts — even the 100,000-year ones — instinctively frowned.
After locking onto Di Tian's location, Ye Yu's eyes lit up.
"Found you."
With a smile, he dropped down directly to the shore of the Lake of Life.
He summoned his Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree Martial Soul.
Nine Spirit Rings lit up around his body.
First, the Seventh Ring flared.
Then, Rings One through Six lit up in sequence.
A blinding blue-silver radiance burst forth.
The Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree Martial Soul immediately grew at a terrifying rate — in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a towering tree over a kilometer tall, still growing rapidly.
Its massive roots plunged into the earth under the power of the First Spirit Ability: Undying Root, splitting and spreading downward.
Following the path mapped earlier by the Blue Silver Domain...
In less than thirty seconds, the roots reached ten kilometers deep, piercing directly into the cavern where Di Tian and the others were.
BOOM!!
In an instant, the cavern's ceiling collapsed, enormous chunks of earth crashing down.
Instinctively, Di Tian and the others leapt aside.
Right then, the crystal-blue roots of the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree burst into the cavern like massive serpents.
They wrapped tightly around the crystal pillar sealing the Skydream Iceworm...
And yanked it out without hesitation, rapidly retracting.
"Damn it! What the hell?!"
"That worthless worm is ours!"
Because of the falling debris and the sheer speed of the Blue Silver roots...
Di Tian, the Bear Lord, and the rest of the fierce beasts couldn't even react before the crystal pillar had already been ripped upward — disappearing through the hole in the collapsed roof.
The Bear Lord and the others roared in fury, blasting Spirit Abilities toward the broken cavern ceiling in a blind rage.
But none of their attacks hit anything.
Di Tian clenched his fists tight.
His expression was both dark and furious — because he recognized those roots.
They belonged to Ye Yu's Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree Martial Soul!
"Damned human!"
"How dare you set foot in my Star Dou Great Forest again — and even dares challenge me?!"
"You're courting death!"
