"I never expected those two Fierce Beasts were lying in wait outside the valley."
Du Busi spoke, visibly very annoyed.
Anyone would feel uncomfortable having their home ambushed.
"Probably, they were worried about destroying the Ice Fire Two Eyes, which is why they waited outside," Su Ming said.
He had overlooked this point himself.
Before entering the Ice Fire Two Eyes, he had been prepared, but after entering without any obstruction, he had subconsciously ignored this possibility.
"With two Fierce Beasts here, the Sect can't develop the Ice Fire Two Eyes. I'll have to travel back and forth personally," Du Busi said, feeling a headache coming on.
These two Fierce Beasts were clearly not benevolent. Now that they couldn't beat him, they retreated, but they might just continue lurking outside. If Sect disciples truly treated the Ice Fire Two Eyes as their backyard, they would likely be ambushed and killed by these two sneaky bastards.
"Teacher, I also recognized the origins of these two Fierce Beasts just now. One is an Azure Bull Python, the other a Titan Giant Ape. Both are rare variants and can serve as my future Spirit Rings."
Su Ming's words caused Du Busi's expression to soften.
His previously worried face immediately broke into a smile.
Yes, these were, after all, two Fierce Beasts.
"Finding your fifth Spirit Ring alone took us two months. I was already getting a headache thinking about your next four Spirit Rings, and then these two unlucky fellows dared to show themselves."
"Azure Bull Python, Titan Giant Ape, both are connected to that Sea God. If we kill them, we'll most likely only have one chance. You'd better make a choice," Du Busi said. "After all, they both possess Limit Douluo combat power, and their actual cultivation age probably exceeds seven hundred thousand years."
A seven-hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring is something one usually only attempts for the ninth Spirit Ring.
And it's only a one-time chance.
Even ordinary Spirit Masters cannot absorb a Spirit Ring of this level for their ninth ring.
It was only because Su Ming could absorb a hundred-thousand-year ring for his fifth that Du Busi believed Su Ming could digest Da Ming and Er Ming's Spirit Rings.
Su Ming, however, wasn't in a hurry.
Strictly speaking, his fifth Spirit Ring wouldn't be a hundred-thousand-year one, but a two hundred-thousand-year one!
This time, he was still aiming to surpass his limits.
Once he succeeded in surpassing the limit, it would greatly increase his capacity for the sixth Spirit Ring.
Coupled with the goal he set for himself – a third Spirit Core at level 70 – his eighth and ninth Spirit Rings would definitely be able to handle Da Ming and Er Ming's rings.
"Let's go. First, let's go see about your fifth Spirit Ring."
Du Busi stopped being angry, his mood becoming cheerful as he remembered their main task.
Clear Sky Clan.
"Big Brother, when did that Du Busi break through to become a Limit Douluo?"
Da Ming's face was full of worry.
You ask me, who should I ask?
His expression was heavy as he said, "Not only did he break through to the Limit, but he also perfected the Gold-level Second Awakening secret art. It actually no longer drains his life origin. Even dragging out the fight is useless."
Er Ming only saw the change in strength, but Da Ming had to consider more.
If the Gold-level Second Awakening secret art no longer drained his origin, it meant that even though Du Busi had just broken through, he could continuously unleash peak Demi-God-level power.
Once Du Busi advanced further himself, reaching the Demi-God level, and relying on the Gold-level Second Awakening secret art, he would likely become invincible in the current world.
"We should ask Tang San. This Du Busi has already exceeded our control."
Da Ming looked towards the blue-golden pillar of light within the main hall.
"Although we are only supposed to use this channel to contact him regarding Xiao Qi's matters, now that the Ice Fire Two Eyes has been stolen, threatening Xiao Qi's path to Godhood, and we are unable to resolve it ourselves, it shouldn't count as breaking the rules."
Sun Moon Empire.
A valley with beautiful, clear scenery.
The moment Su Ming and Du Busi entered the valley, they felt a sensation of being watched.
"Come out."
Du Busi released his Limit Douluo aura.
He had replenished his set of Soul Refined metal, so his confidence was undoubtedly high.
"Sigh..."
A sigh sounded.
The Blue Silver Emperor revealed its true form.
It looked at Du Busi, feeling powerless.
When it was discovered and failed to eliminate the intruders, it knew its life was nearing its end.
To think a Limit Douluo would come personally to claim it.
It wasn't an unjust death.
It looked at Su Ming.
"Is it he who wants to absorb my Spirit Ring?"
The Blue Silver Emperor sensed Su Ming's life aura and was somewhat surprised.
So young?
Spirit Douluo?
Or a Titled Douluo?
Because of Su Ming's dual Spirit Cores, his Spirit Power fluctuations were very intense, exceeding the range of a Spirit King.
"Xiao Ming, this is somewhat problematic," Du Busi said.
When the Blue Silver Emperor revealed its true form, he also perceived its cultivation age.
"It's not just a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast; it's already close to two hundred thousand years."
"Correct. I am only a few hundred years away from my two-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation."
The Blue Silver Emperor's tone was pessimistic.
In the definition of human Spirit Masters, it needed to pass the two hundred thousand-year heavenly tribulation to be considered a Fierce Beast.
But in reality, after it passed the hundred-thousand-year and one-thousand-year tribulation, it was already a Fierce Beast.
It could also take human form to hide.
But it remained in this valley.
Because it truly didn't want to run anymore.
Running away would only mean dying later.
"Your luck is good. My disciple cannot withstand your Spirit Ring yet," Du Busi said with a sigh.
The Blue Silver Emperor did not feel fortunate because of this.
If Su Ming couldn't withstand its ring now, he would definitely be able to for his next ring.
"Teacher, I want to give it a try."
Just as both Du Busi and the Blue Silver Emperor thought Su Ming would need to wait until his next ring to absorb the Blue Silver Emperor's ring, Su Ming spoke up.
"Two hundred thousand years isn't necessarily unbearable." Su Ming's eyes gleamed brightly as he said, "I have a plan here. Senior, you might consider it."
"You want to negotiate with me?"
The Blue Silver Emperor was somewhat astonished.
A Spirit Master who wanted to hunt it for its Spirit Ring actually wanted to negotiate with it.
This seemed like a fantasy to the Blue Silver Emperor.
You want to absorb my Spirit Ring, and I'm supposed to cooperate with you so you don't explode from the energy?
Has your cultivation been too smooth, leaving your brain behind?
"Senior, you probably cannot pass the two hundred thousand-year heavenly tribulation, so death is inevitable sooner or later."
"Yes."
The Blue Silver Emperor admitted frankly.
"What if I am confident I can become a God?"
Become a God?
Hearing this word, the Blue Silver Emperor scrutinized Su Ming carefully.
"What gives you such confidence?"
"A fourteen-year-old Spirit King might not be enough to convince you. But what if I show you this?"
Su Ming released the forging hammer condensed in his Sea of Consciousness when he broke through to Sacred Blacksmith.
"A God Seat?"
This time, not only was the Blue Silver Emperor shocked, but even Du Busi was stunned.
"You've condensed a prototype God Seat?"
"My faith has already begun to spread. The God Seat prototype has been condensed. Give me time, and I have over a fifty percent probability of becoming a God. Isn't that enough for Senior to make a choice?"
The Blue Silver Emperor was tempted.
A fifty percent probability was very high.
Moreover, the probability Su Ming mentioned likely only referred to his chance of creating his own God Seat and becoming a God.
"Even if I sacrifice myself to you, you might not be able to withstand my power."
Su Ming smiled.
"Didn't I say it? I have a plan."
"What plan?"
The Blue Silver Emperor now began to feel anticipation.
"I want to condense a brand new Martial Spirit myself. I need Senior's cooperation to integrate most of your power into this new Martial Spirit. The remaining power will transform into the Spirit Ring."
