"So this Sun Moon Continent can merge with the Douluo Continent ten thousand years from now…"
"That must mean it's actually very close to Douluo Continent!"
"Looks like I was right after all."
After confirming that the Vast Continent he had landed on was, in fact, the future Sun Moon Continent of legend, Ye Yu felt quite satisfied, murmuring to himself.
Since he was already here, he immediately began inquiring about the location of the Evil Demon Forest.
His third Martial Soul, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, was an ice-attribute soul. Between the Extreme North and the Endless Sea, Ye Yu had nearly completed attaching all nine Spirit Rings to it.
And as he continuously absorbed Spirit Rings, time kept passing.
The Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree sub-bodies he had planted across Douluo Continent were maturing into towering trees, capable of cultivating Spirit Power on their own.
These sub-bodies were also growing increasingly intelligent—so much so that they had begun constructing meridian systems within themselves and cultivating Mysterious Heaven Skill.
This meant the amount of Spirit Power they could channel back to him daily through the Blue Silver Space was skyrocketing.
By now, the Spirit Power these sub-bodies sent to Ye Yu each day was equivalent to the full sacrifice of a 500,000-year spirit beast.
It was as if he were receiving the tribute of such a beast every single day.
Not only had Ye Yu completed cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill internal energy in the first set of Demon Willow Fluff meridians to a high level, successfully condensing the Star Luo Holy Pearl into a complete Spirit Core…
He had also parasitized three External Spirit Bones—Demon Willow Fluff—into his body, creating three additional Demon Willow Fluff meridian systems.
If the main meridian system, used for cultivating the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree Martial Soul and the Inner Core method, stored Spirit Power in the dantian qi sea,
then the first Demon Willow Fluff meridian system stored the pure Mysterious Heaven Skill internal energy,
the second cultivated the Spirit Power of his second Martial Soul, Spirit Eye, combined with Mysterious Heaven Skill,
and the third cultivated the Spirit Power of his third Martial Soul, Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, also combined with Mysterious Heaven Skill.
These corresponded to the acupoints Guan Yuan, Yin Jiao, and Shi Men respectively.
Now, Ye Yu had successfully condensed Spirit Cores in all four dantian-capable acupoints—Qi Hai, Guan Yuan, Yin Jiao, and Shi Men.
But he didn't stop there.
By parasitizing three more Demon Willow Fluff into his body, he could create entirely new meridian systems and freely choose additional acupoints to function as dantians.
Normally, only those four locations could serve as dantians because they were convergence points for all major meridians, completing the internal circulation of Spirit Power and internal energy.
However, with the Demon Willow Fluff acting as external meridian systems, Ye Yu could override this limitation—
meaning he could, in theory, turn every acupoint in his body into a dantian.
From the time he had left Douluo Continent and searched the Endless Sea for spirit beasts over 100,000 years in cultivation to add Spirit Rings to his Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion…
…up until now, when he had set foot on the Sun Moon Continent,
he had already condensed three additional Spirit Cores within the new Demon Willow Fluff meridian systems.
That brought his total to seven Spirit Cores.
And since his Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree sub-bodies still sent him massive amounts of Spirit Power every day,
he was now preparing to create three more Demon Willow Fluff, parasitize them within his body, and form yet another three Demon Willow Fluffm eridian systems.
At his current cultivation level, the Demon Willow Fluff mother body had already evolved past the million-year level, allowing him to produce over a hundred such External Spirit Bones.
So far, he had only made twenty-five.
That left him with the potential to create more than seventy-five additional Demon Willow Fluff.
If he parasitized them all, he could build seventy-five new Demon Willow Fluff meridian systems, condensing seventy-five more Spirit Cores.
If he truly reached that number…
Ye Yu felt certain that with so many Spirit Cores fueling him, he could, even at Rank 99—still a Demigod—defy the heavens, challenge the Divine Realm, and smash his way through it.
After all, as the saying goes:
Bigger is better, and more is beautiful.
True, a god's divine power was of higher quality than ordinary Spirit Power.
But with the Spirit Power from over eighty Spirit Cores erupting simultaneously—
Whether it was brute-force "power-brick throwing," or using such immense energy to unleash devastating Spirit Abilities…
For example, his two eighth Spirit Ring abilities—Advent of a World of Flowering Trees and True Thousand Hands—
At this point, Ye Yu believed that either one could threaten even a god… perhaps even a God King.
And if his Spirit Core count were doubled again, reaching more than eighty…
Now that he had also developed his own Blood Essence Refinement method—transforming the life force channeled by the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree sub-bodies into blood energy to strengthen his body—
he could enhance his physical form far faster than the Heavenly Thunder Tempering, and do so continuously.
When the day came that he held more than eighty Spirit Cores…
Ye Yu felt certain that the age of his eighth Spirit Ring could break past the ten-million-year mark.
With the power of over eighty Spirit Cores behind a ten-million-year eighth ability,
the colossal Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree and the Blue Silver Thousand-Hand Buddha he summoned might well shred and smash the entire Divine Realm into fragments.
On the Sun Moon Continent,
once Ye Yu had confirmed his location, he quickly learned that the Evil Demon Forest lay to the far north.
In the next moment, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and streaked toward it at extreme speed.
At his pace, it took him less than half a day to cross most of the continent and arrive at its northernmost expanse.
Compared to the Star Dou Great Forest on Douluo Continent, the Sun Moon Continent's Evil Demon Forest was equally vast.
But unlike Star Dou's lush emerald canopy, which spread like a vibrant green sea brimming with life…
From above, Ye Yu saw the Evil Demon Forest's outer rim was a dark moss green—
yet the deeper it went, the darker it became, until the heart of the forest was pitch black.
It looked oppressive and sinister, radiating an eerie, unnatural atmosphere.
Truly worthy of the name Evil Demon Forest.
Once inside,
Ye Yu once again became a streak of lightning, diving deeper toward the forest's core.
For any Spirit Beast forest, just like the Star Dou Great Forest, the deeper one ventured, the higher the cultivation level and bloodline quality of its inhabitants.
The Evileye clan, and their ruler, the Evileye Tyrant King, were said to be the most powerful in this forest—
and they undoubtedly dwelled in its innermost region.
As he traveled deeper, Ye Yu flew through the air while activating the Purple Demon Eyes, sweeping the forest with the Spirit Eye Martial Soul, searching for any spirit beasts over 100,000 years old with mental attributes.
Though his primary goal here was the Evileye Tyrant and its ruler,
he had no intention of letting any other 100,000-year spiritual-type spirit beast escape if he found one.
