"It succeeded."
A flash of excitement shone in Du Busi's eyes.
It was too incredible.
A hundred-thousand-year fifth Spirit Ring!
This nearly impossible feat had been accomplished by his disciple.
"This is the true limit achieved by progressively absorbing Spirit Rings beyond one's level step by step."
Du Busi took a deep breath to calm his excited heart.
"How is it?"
He stepped forward and asked about the Spirit Skill's effect after Su Ming's Spirit Power fluctuations settled.
"Extremely good."
Su Ming opened his eyes, a satisfied smile appearing within them.
"Fifth Spirit Skill, Myriad Tribulations Indestructible. As long as I have any Spirit Power remaining, I can revive using that Spirit Power."
A simple description, yet it revealed an extreme level of power.
What Spirit Skill was most desired from fusing the Blue Silver Emperor's Spirit Ring?
Of course, it was revival!
Su Ming had already possessed the prerequisite for this revival Spirit Skill before. After his Martial Spirit's second awakening, his Spirit Power gained the characteristic of storing all his information.
"Revival. I hope it's never needed."
So far, Su Ming hadn't encountered a life-or-death crisis; all three eras could be considered stable.
The current him couldn't be directly targeted by Tang San, firstly because Elder Yi shielded his signals so Tang San couldn't find him, and secondly because the God of Destruction had noticed him, preventing Tang San from acting recklessly.
The future him had masters like Mu Ye, Zhen Hua, Han Tianyi, and Zhang Tianyang; his background was incredibly solid. Plus, having gathered the status of the Son of the Plane and being located at Shrek Academy, he faced no immediate crisis.
As for the past him, it went without saying; he had been staying at the Ice Fire Two Eyes for a long time, often accompanying Dugu Bo, focusing on secluded cultivation, with the development of the Blacksmith Association fully managed by Zhu Jiuyang.
The revival Spirit Skill seemed unnecessary for now.
But not needing it didn't mean not wanting it.
Having such a Spirit Skill ultimately provided more confidence.
Myriad Tribulations Indestructible!
Du Busi's spirit was shaken.
He suspected he had misheard.
Based on Su Ming's description, he was practically unkillable.
"That's too overpowered."
"Actually, there are still drawbacks. After reviving, I have to cultivate again from scratch. At the very least, I can't immediately return to my peak state. After all, the foundation of my revival is Spirit Power, and I genuinely died, equivalent to only preserving that portion of Spirit Power."
Ultimately, the amount of Spirit Power he could escape with, the amount he revived with, would determine Su Ming's state after recovery.
If he were truly desperate enough to use this method to revive and escape, his losses would inevitably be severe.
"I hope this Spirit Skill is never used."
Su Ming repeated it.
After fusing with the Blue Silver Emperor, the master and disciple quickly left the valley and returned to the Sunset Forest.
"Dammit, they really are persistent like lingering ghosts."
Du Busi signaled for Su Ming to hide to the side, while he erupted with Spirit Power.
"Since you're blocking the way here, then get out!"
Da Ming and Er Ming revealed their figures.
"We're not here to fight you today," Er Ming said.
"You can continue to occupy the Ice Fire Two Eyes, but you must guarantee not to touch the immortal herbs inside," Da Ming said.
"And what if I do touch them? What can you do?"
Faced with a Du Busi who seemed to just want to fight, Da Ming felt a headache coming on.
Could it be that after breaking through to the Limit, Du Busi was pent up and just purely wanted to fight?
He was genuinely here to negotiate today.
Su Ming, watching from the side, felt that his teacher was being overly arrogant, probably thinking the expenses were reimbursable.
He had secretly prepared himself to immediately request Elder Yi's help to break anything Da Ming and Er Ming might pull out that could be from Tang San.
Among the influences Tang San could exert on the mortal world, what Su Ming worried about most was undoubtedly a single strike from him – not an attack, but control.
The Unfixed Storm was truly too disgusting.
The first-generation Sea God was quite a talent to create the Golden Thirteen Halberds; at the very least, it showed he had polished his Spirit Skills to perfection.
Correct, Spirit Skills.
In Su Ming's view, the Golden Thirteen Halberds were the first-generation Sea God's thirteen Spirit Skills, plus a Martial Spirit True Body makes fourteen Spirit Rings, which also corresponded to the Sea God's quasi-God King strength.
The most admirable aspect of the first-generation Sea God was his ability to train all his Spirit Skills to the level of divine skills and solidify them into the Sea God position.
"Du Busi, we are negotiating seriously."
Da Ming frowned.
He took out a blue-golden golden trident. The trident was only palm-sized but emitted a heart-palpitating divine power fluctuation.
Du Busi's pupils contracted.
They truly were under the Sea God's command.
He felt a threat from this trident, a lethal threat.
"Willing to talk properly now?" Da Ming said.
"This old man must have the immortal herbs," Du Busi conceded not an inch.
He directly began burning Soul Refined metal, and his Spirit Power aura began to rise.
He wouldn't back down just because of the other party's threats. Back when he was level 98, he dared to fight the level 99 Mu En; today, as a level 99, he dared to act under the threat of Tang San's divine power.
If he didn't take the immortal herbs, what was the point of occupying the Ice Fire Two Eyes?
To put it bluntly, wouldn't that be just being recruited as a watchdog?
"At worst, we destroy the Ice Fire Two Eyes. No one gets it," Du Busi said.
Da Ming had no choice but to compromise.
"You may develop the Ice Fire Two Eyes as you wish, but you can only take the immortal herbs you can obtain. Natural treasures should not be wasted."
Du Busi's eyes flickered.
"This old man is not a wasteful person either."
"Within the Ice Fire Two Eyes, there is the Lovesick Heartbroken Red. You cannot pluck it, nor are you allowed to take it away," Da Ming said.
A trace of cold laughter flashed in Du Busi's eyes.
He had finally waited for this sentence.
So, there was something they cared about after all.
"Agreed."
Lovesick Heartbroken Red?
If no one in the Sect could pluck it, then just don't let anyone related to Tang San pluck it.
Wouldn't that solve the problem?
Having reached an agreement, Da Ming and Er Ming slowly moved to the side. After swapping positions with Du Busi, they gradually retreated from the Sunset Forest.
Returning to the Ice Fire Two Eyes.
Su Ming looked at the immortal herbs that were still there and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that for Tang San, the Lovesick Heartbroken Red was the only one that absolutely had to remain.
He could forgo Huo Yuhao's immortal herbs, but the Lovesick Heartbroken Red was mandatory.
"It's probably for Wang Dong's use. Tang San himself split Tang Wutong's soul; there's likely some issue that only the Lovesick Heartbroken Red can solve."
"Additionally, Tang San is actually following the rules so strictly; it seems the God of Destruction and the God of Life have united on the God Realm side."
If only the God of Destruction was watching Tang San, even if he explicitly told Tang San he was watching, Tang San probably wouldn't follow the rules because he knew the God of Destruction couldn't do much either.
Conversely, if the God of Destruction and the God of Life were united, Tang San's confidence would be insufficient.
[Douluo 1]
Tang San isn't behaving.
Su Ming used his forging faith to sense the location of Tang San and his father, then began his retaliation.
In Douluo 2, I am cautious; in Douluo 1, I strike hard.
You little bastard, prepare to die!
Canghui City.
Tang's Blacksmith Shop.
"Xiao San, pack our things. We're leaving soon," Tang Hao's tone was grave. "There are too many people in Canghui City lately. Our whereabouts might have been exposed."
