Chapter 118: The Seventh Soul Ring of 500,000 Years
The Sunset Forest wasn't deep inland, and Lin Qinghan quickly reached the sea.
However, after flying over the ocean for two days, he still hadn't found a sea soul beast that suited him. Lin Qinghan suddenly remembered something important he had overlooked before.
On the sea, although the rule that the closer you are to the middle of the ocean, the stronger the soul beast still applied, it was also generally true that the deeper the sea, the stronger the soul beasts.
Lin Qinghan had previously come across information only about land soul beasts in books. Most land soul masters—who were not top-tier—rarely ventured into the sea. As a result, his knowledge about the ocean was limited.
This time, he dared to explore the deep sea with Alex's support.
So, to find a suitable soul beast faster, he would have to dive into the deep sea.
Although Lin Qinghan had become much stronger, he wasn't invincible yet. He was still bound by the Douluo Continent's training system, meaning he still required oxygen to survive underwater.
While this problem could be solved easily for him, his strength would be suppressed underwater.
"Old Yi, I'll need your help again," Lin Qinghan said, a little embarrassed to ask Alex for assistance.
Fortunately, Electrolux didn't mind these requests. Although he had expended some energy recently, dealing with opponents below the level of an Extreme Douluo wasn't a problem.
After instructing Lin Qinghan to wait in place, Electrolux flew directly into the sea.
Although Electrolux's body was full of the life breath caused by the Gold of Life, he wasn't fully alive. Therefore, he didn't need air, and his semi-illusory state made him immune to the pressure of the sea water.
Seeing Electrolux set off, Lin Qinghan condensed a large piece of ice on the sea surface and sat on it to meditate.
He had experienced several sudden increases in strength recently, and with the absorption of the seventh soul ring, he was expecting another major boost.
Although Lin Qinghan's mental power was already very strong and he had two main martial souls, he still needed to strengthen his control over his power. Otherwise, it could be dangerous if he couldn't manage it properly.
"Boom boom boom!"
Just two days after Alex left, Lin Qinghan, who had just come out of his meditation state, heard thunder in the distance. The previously calm sea surface began to surge.
The sea changed quickly. What was initially calm became violently agitated, and within seconds, the water began to boil. The condensed ice beneath his feet shattered instantly.
"Qinghan, try your best to expand the ice surface!"
After the sea rolled violently, a massive monster emerged from the water, suspended in mid-air.
Shortly after, Alex's figure also flew out of the water. Several magic circles were floating around him, indicating that this huge monster was the target for Lin Qinghan's seventh soul ring.
Lin Qinghan didn't hesitate. He immediately released his Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion martial soul, condensed a large piece of ice crystal beneath him, and injected his ice explosion soul power into it.
The ice exploded like a torpedo, and under Lin Qinghan's careful manipulation, it turned into a large cloud of white mist made up of tiny ice crystals that quickly dispersed in all directions.
In less than three seconds, the sea surface turned into a five-meter-thick layer of ice that spread over a radius of one kilometer, continuing to expand.
"Elder Yi, is this enough?"
"That's enough. Get ready and deliver the final blow!"
Lin Qinghan heard Alex's voice through the gray mark on his hand. He realized that Alex had set up several magic arrays around him, likely to deal with the soul beast.
The propagation of sound was now affected.
Lin Qinghan didn't hesitate. The Thunder Spear in his hand condensed, and he infused it with the thunder attribute of the Thundering Hell Vine. He also gathered his mental shock.
The soul beast Alex had targeted was one Lin Qinghan had never seen or recorded before. However, it was clear that it had a thunder attribute. From its aura, it had at least 400,000 years of cultivation.
For a soul master's seventh soul ring, the soul skill obtained from it would be linked to the age and bloodline of the soul ring, rather than the type of soul beast.
However, any soul beast that could cultivate to the level of a fierce beast was undoubtedly a top-tier soul beast.
For soul masters with twin martial souls, obtaining the second soul ring was relatively simple after the first martial soul had reached a sufficient level.
After all, soul beasts with long lifespans usually had excellent bloodlines.
With Lin Qinghan's enhanced Thunder Spear and full-strength mental shock, the soul beast, already on its last legs, was killed.
Before the soul beast died, it attempted to self-destruct, but under Alex's suppression, it didn't even have the chance.
Soon, a blood-red soul ring slowly emerged from the soul beast's body. The soul ring, surrounded by arcs, had five golden lines.
Clearly, this was a 500,000-year-old thunder-attribute beast. However, Alex showed no signs of injury.
"Is this the huge difference between gods and mortals?"
Lin Qinghan gazed at Alex, standing in the wind, feeling a little dazed.
Even a fragment of divine consciousness, after being repaired by the Gold of Life and condensed into a body, had nearly invincible strength in the mortal world.
Although Electrolux was not a god in Douluo Continent, and wasn't even considered a god due to the unique rules of the Holy Demon Continent, this didn't stop Lin Qinghan from imagining what he would be like after achieving divinity. Gods in Douluo Continent not only had exclusive divine costumes, but they also had god rings behind their heads. Regardless of their combat strength, they certainly looked impressive.
Shaking away the distracting thoughts, Lin Qinghan quickly refocused. Though he had been lost in thought, it only lasted a few seconds.
He grabbed the massive blood-colored 500,000-year soul ring and began to concentrate on absorbing it.
While he absorbed the soul ring, Electrolux set up several isolation arrays and returned to the undead half-plane.
Though Electrolux didn't appear fatigued, he was indeed very tired. He had taken many actions recently, and he truly needed to rest now.
But this wasn't without its benefits. In the body formed by the Gold of Life, he no longer had to worry about his consciousness dissipating. In fact, his consciousness had become more active with each successive incarnation.
The refining process of the remaining Gold of Life was also accelerating. After resting for a period of time, this fragment of his spiritual consciousness would become even more powerful.
