Chapter 125: Breakthrough, Soul Sage! Water Dragon Condensing Ring

The day of breaking through to Soul Sage was nearly half a month earlier than Shu Yan had expected.

At the level of Soul Sage, the source residue of the ten-thousand-year snow lotus from before had all been absorbed by him, and even the ten-thousand-year mysterious ice marrow in his body had been refined and absorbed quite a bit, but this was only a part of it, and there were even several ten-thousand-year mysterious ice marrows sealed in Shu Yan's soul tool.

After entering the Soul Sage level, Shu Yan clearly felt the improvement of his own cultivation speed.

Once an extreme attribute soul master breaks through to the Soul Sage level, the cultivation speed will be much faster than that of ordinary attribute soul masters. Shu Yan's cultivation from level 30 to 70 all relied on various opportunities to go crazy and speed up, which saved him quite a bit of time and also allowed him to obtain a rich foundation that ordinary people could not imagine. Now breaking through to Soul Sage was like adding wings to a tiger, and his path ahead could be described as smooth and bright.

For Shu Yan's cultivation speed, which could be described as heaven-defying, Xu Jiujiu also felt deeply, but she no longer had the urgency from before.

Shu Yan's feelings for her could not be faked, and she didn't worry about Shu Yan changing his heart. Of course, she still had some pursuit of strength. Before the next Soul Master Grand Competition arrived, she had to strive to raise her soul power to at least the Soul Emperor level, so that she could shock the world in one fell swoop, and also have sufficient confidence to follow Shu Yan.

After Shu Yan stabilized the aura that was slightly fluctuating due to the breakthrough, the group went to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well again.

Perhaps it was because the group had ransacked the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well too thoroughly last time, in just a few months, the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well actually had a sense of depression. However, if you looked carefully, the life aura hidden in the dark was still vigorous, but they were somewhat shivering.

The group was too lazy to deal with these plant-type soul beasts that didn't have complete intelligence, and went straight to the Cold Extreme Yin Spring.

Seeing this deep spring water rich in pure ice-attribute heaven and earth elemental power, A-Luan, who was following, suddenly lit up, and then jumped in directly, followed

Seeing this deep spring water rich in pure ice-attribute heaven and earth energy, the accompanying A-Luan's eyes lit up instantly, and then she actually jumped straight in, followed by a series of comfortable groans.

"This spring water is indeed excellent. Soaking in it for a while longer will be of great benefit to me; even the recovery speed of my injuries has accelerated quite a bit here..."

Shu Yan and the Ice Empress exchanged a glance. The two gave a few instructions to the Ice Emperor and Xu Jiujiu behind them, then leaped into the water together, heading toward the depths at an extremely fast speed.

Perhaps because the Water Dragon King's dragon soul had its consciousness awakened by Bibi Dong last time, the ice-attribute energy in the spring water below was more than twice as abundant as before, and the same was true for those huge bubbles coming toward them.

After arriving once again in front of the dragon corpse that was the size of a small hill, a faint beam of purple light lit up on Shu Yan's forehead. Guided by this purple light, a blue vortex slowly appeared on the transparent barrier in front of him, which then pulled Shu Yan and caused him to drift slowly into it.

The Ice Empress hesitated for a moment before slowly moving her feet, but before she could catch up to Shu Yan, a low dragon roar seemed to sound vaguely. The Ice Empress's body stiffened strangely in place. She looked at Shu Yan, who had completely disappeared from before her, and her expression turned somewhat ugly. She knew that the spatial vortex just now was resisting her approach; if she were to force her way in, she feared today would not go so smoothly.

Helpless, the Ice Empress had no choice but to open a barrier to create a place to stand, then slowly sat down cross-legged to wait for Shu Yan to come out...

... On the other side, after a series of ups and downs, Shu Yan was shaken until he felt a bit dizzy. After he shook his head to regain his clarity, he discovered that he had already arrived in a void world that seemed to have no end.

The sky in the distance was churning, and then a terrifying dragon roar that pierced the clouds suddenly erupted. The clouds were blown away by a gale, and what was revealed before Shu Yan was a terrifying giant dragon that was a full thousand meters long! The ice-blue giant dragon soared in the high heavens, its dragon roars sounding like weeping blood, causing even the heaven and earth of this realm to tremble. Finally, that massive dragon head, which seemed like a small hill, slowly lowered and arrived before Shu Yan.

A vast and immense dragon might rushed toward him. The Water Dragon King was an existence standing at the very pinnacle of the soul beast race and a descendant of the Dragon God. The innate Dragon King pressure made Shu Yan almost unable to straighten his body, and even the Extreme Ice within his body experienced for the first time the feeling of being completely suppressed, as if it had met its own emperor.

Shu Yan managed to lift his head, just in time to meet those deep dragon eyes head-on.

In those dragon eyes, as deep as the ocean, Shu Yan's spiritual power seemed to stop functioning for an instant. What a tragic and terrifying scene was displayed before his eyes.

One after another, the corpses of divine beasts that could not be described in words fell from the sky, finally crashing to the ground. And at that highest point, a giant dragon that could not be described in words roared at the sky, its voice mixed with intense sorrow. Blood stained the firmament, the world was shrouded in blood-red, and the aura of death continued to spread, as if making one fall into a nightmare...

Shu Yan woke up with a start, only to find that he was still deep in that desolate world.

Cold sweat soaked his clothes. He looked up again, but where was there any sign of the ice-blue giant dragon? There was only a faint dragon soul floating in mid-air. The color of that dragon soul was already approaching transparency, and the dragon eyes, which had originally been full of might, were now full of chaos and emptiness, no longer showing a trace of spirit.

After a long dragon roar, countless ice-blue energy and heaven and earth energy surged in from all directions. Shu Yan understood instantly; ignoring his disheveled state, he sat down cross-legged on the spot. Six soul rings—black, black, black, black, black, red—appeared in sequence. And in the position of the blank seventh soul ring, with the continuous injection of energy, a white soul ring slowly appeared. Subsequently, this white soul ring gradually deepened in color as the energy continued to stack, beginning to evolve toward yellow.

The transformation from white to yellow happened in just a few breaths, and then came the evolution from yellow to purple. During this process, the fifth black ring, which Shu Yan had formed through the fusion of the Ice Sky Snow Maiden bloodline and the Snow Lotus origin, also began to undergo a gradual transformation. It quietly "stole" a portion of the pure energy that was gathering near it and then replenished it into its own body; this was also the reason why the age of Shu Yan's seventh soul ring was changing so slowly.

However, was this not Shu Yan's original intention?

In any case, the energy remaining from the Water Dragon King was definitely not small. Helping him raise his fifth soul ring to the hundred-thousand-year level as well was no big deal. Shu Yan felt that the Water Dragon King shouldn't be that stingy...
