Border Mountain Range!
There was a reason this place served as the boundary between the two great empires. Surrounded by countless towering mountains that reached into the clouds, it remained an extremely remote and uninhabited region even in the Douluo Continent, where Soul Masters possessed extraordinary power.
There were no roads leading into the mountains. However, Dugu Bo could fly, so he directly carried Dugu Yan and Wang Li and flew in from outside the mountains.
As soon as Wang Li arrived, he felt the activity of his martial soul intensify, along with the presence of countless members of the same kind. If nothing unexpected had happened, this should be the location of the Blue Silver Forest.
Excitement first arose in his heart, then it gradually calmed. With a slight smile, he said:
"Grandpa, it's here. Let's go down first."
Dugu Bo nodded. A mountain range surrounded by peaks like this, without even a single path leading inside, was indeed suitable as a habitat for soul beasts.
After landing on the ground, sturdy and ancient trees could be seen everywhere. The Blue Silver Grass on the ground was especially dense. Although Blue Silver Grass could grow almost anywhere on the continent, the concentration of it here was unusually high.
Wang Li said to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan:
"Grandpa, Sister Yan, you can stop here. The soul beast I need is inside, and this is a battle I must face myself."
Dugu Bo was not surprised and simply nodded.
"You like hunting soul beasts alone, believing it increases the chance of obtaining soul bones. I won't stop you this time either. But if I sense your aura weakening outside the forest, I will come in immediately. Soul bones may be important, but they are not more important than your life."
Dugu Yan helped him tidy his hair and then smiled with satisfaction.
"Xiao Li, do your best. With your strength, even soul beasts that are tens of thousands of years old won't be your opponent."
An eighty-five-thousand-year-old Blue Silver King was certainly not to be underestimated. However, Wang Li no longer regarded it as a serious threat. Still, this battle was necessary to remove the final obstacle to his ascension as the Blue Silver Emperor, so he intended to treat it seriously.
After saying goodbye to them, Wang Li turned and walked into the forest.
Inside the forest were the auras of many soul beasts. Hundred-year Blue Silver Grass and thousand-year Blue Silver Grass were everywhere.
Without realizing it, Wang Li had already activated his Blue Silver Domain. Even though these hundred-year and thousand-year Blue Silver Grass were not his subjects, they still lowered themselves in respect when facing a Blue Silver King.
With no obstacles along the way, he reached the depths of the forest. Blue Silver Grass covered the ground everywhere, and their cultivation years were quite high.
At the very center stood one Blue Silver Grass plant that was thick and tall like a tree. Crystal clear and deep blue, it was unmistakably the rare king among Blue Silver Grass,the Blue Silver King.
After Wang Li arrived, the Blue Silver King suddenly formed a face. It was an elderly face composed purely of energy. In a long and authoritative voice, it said:
"Another Blue Silver King. Why have you stepped into my territory today?"
Wang Li stood with his hands behind his back and said with a light smile:
"I came today to discuss something important. The imperial throne is currently vacant, and I intend to ascend and be crowned. I came to inform you that a new emperor will soon appear."
After hearing this, the Blue Silver King became furious and roared angrily:
"This is outrageous! The Blue Silver clan has only one emperor. If you wish to be crowned, I refuse. All members of the Blue Silver lineage here will refuse as well!"
Wang Li spread his hands indifferently.
"Then there's nothing to talk about."
After saying that, he directly summoned his martial soul. This time there was no disguise. A tall and sturdy Blue Silver King appeared around him, crystal clear with one red and one blue pattern inside, and surrounded by a golden halo.
Black, black, black, black, black, red.
With every soul ring that appeared, Wang Li's aura surged dramatically. When the final red soul ring appeared, a terrifying shockwave swept outward in all directions.
At that moment, the Blue Silver King felt extreme shock. Even if a human possessed the Blue Silver King martial soul, such a soul ring configuration should not exist,especially that final red soul ring.
However, it would not surrender because of this.
Its aura surged as well, light bursting from its entire body. Under the Blue Silver King's command, countless Blue Silver Grass began to grow wildly.
Wang Li clapped his hands together and said softly:
"First Soul Skill: Growth!"
Boom! Boom!
The fifty-thousand-year Growth skill displayed terrifying power. Blue Silver vines spread everywhere, sweeping in all directions and forming another forest within the Blue Silver Forest.
With a wave of Wang Li's hand, he continued:
"Third Soul Skill: Dance of Frenzy!"
Boom! Boom!
His Blue Silver vines took on a metallic sheen and moved so fast they left afterimages. They began destroying everything around them. Within a radius of hundreds, even thousands of meters, all plants and animals were torn apart and shattered.
Especially in front of Wang Li and around the Blue Silver King, the Blue Silver Grass that the king had just grown was instantly ripped to pieces. Broken branches and leaves flew everywhere.
The combined power of two fifty-thousand-year soul skills was this terrifying.
The Blue Silver King cried out in pain:
"No! How can you bear to do this? How can you bear it? Those are our people,our people!"
Wang Li knew it was referring to his destruction of the forest, but he replied calmly:
"Your people are not my people. My people would never stand against me. Anyone who opposes me is an enemy."
Grinding its teeth with hatred, the Blue Silver King gathered terrifying energy. Its hatred had already reached the extreme,it wanted to completely kill Wang Li.
"Blue Silver Overlord Spear!"
A spear three zhang long condensed in the air. Completely azure blue, it radiated terrifying fluctuations that sent chills through anyone who sensed it.
Wang Li faintly felt as if he had been locked onto, as though he could not dodge it. Since that was the case, he chose not to retreat. Drawing a large amount of soul power from within his body, he said in a low voice:
"Sixth Soul Skill: Blue Silver Barrier!"
The blood-red sixth soul ring shone with blinding brilliance, as if it could illuminate heaven and earth.
In front of Wang Li, all the vines began to glow. Under that radiance, the energy of heaven and earth seemed to solidify inch by inch.
The Blue Silver King and the Blue Silver Overlord Spear it had launched were both frozen in midair, trapped inside a crystal-like seal. They could no longer move at all, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
The Blue Silver King struggled desperately but to no avail, like an insect trapped in amber. In desperation, it unleashed its full eighty-five-thousand-year cultivation to reinforce the Blue Silver Overlord Spear.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
What shattered was not the Blue Silver Overlord Spear, but the Blue Silver Barrier. With its extremely powerful single-target destructive force, the spear tore open a gap within the barrier.
The Blue Silver King was overjoyed.
But Wang Li remained unmoved.
The shattering continued. Cracks spread rapidly, soon covering the entire barrier. The entire crystal structure then exploded, releasing all the energy contained within it.
Boom! Boom!
Energy raged wildly, forming a storm. Within the storm were countless shattered crystal fragments spinning, tearing, slicing, and destroying everything.
A miserable howl echoed across the heavens and earth.
At the center of the seal, the Blue Silver King bore the full force of the backlash. The energy contained within a hundred-thousand-year soul skill was terrifying to imagine. It was true destructive power.
