432 Chapter 432: Silver Spirit Rings

...

Zeng Yi had not expected that these two Thorny Armored Beasts did not see him as an enemy but were actually grateful for his protection. This made him feel flustered and nervous, thinking that they had come for revenge and he almost ran away. However, it made Zeng Yi feel quite embarrassed. After all, he had put them in a dangerous situation that he had caused. He never expected that they would not hold a grudge. Upon careful consideration, he realized that spirit beasts were even more reasonable than humans.

But this turned out to be a good thing. Zeng Yi had originally planned to leave the Star Dou Forest and find a quiet place to cultivate. Now that these two spirit beasts considered him a friend, there was no need for him to leave. Yes, Zeng Yi had taken a liking to the territory of these two Thorny Armored Beasts - a beautiful valley with abundant spiritual energy. Compared to the outside world, Zeng Yi preferred to cultivate in the Star Dou Forest. After all, the environment here was good and the abundant spiritual energy, coupled with his 15 times increased cultivation speed, would greatly accelerate his cultivation progress.

Zeng Yi shamelessly struck up a deal with the 50,000 year Thorny Armored Beast and, after a complex exchange, it seemed to understand his intentions and led him back to its territory. And so, Zeng Yi settled down in the territory of the Thorny Armored Beasts.

With the intimidation of the 50,000 year Thorny Armored Beast, Zeng Yi could finally cultivate peacefully without worrying about being disturbed by other spirit beasts.

One week later...

Roar!

A familiar beast roar came from outside the cave. Zeng Yi walked out and saw the small Thorny Armored Beast standing at the cave entrance, with a spirit beast corpse lying on the ground. Zeng Yi glanced at the seemingly recently deceased spirit beast, and his mouth twitched a few times. It was a spider covered in fur.

"You want to give me this?" Zeng Yi pointed at himself and asked the small Thorny Armored Beast.

It seemed to understand and nodded.

Looking at it, Zeng Yi helplessly laughed, "My taste is not as heavy as yours! I find this spider disgusting. How can you eat it?"

"I don't need it, you can have it yourself."

Seeing Zeng Yi shaking his head and refusing, the small Thorny Armored Beast lowered its head in a very human-like manner, looking very disappointed. It then grabbed one of the spider's legs and walked away.

Seeing the creature's forlorn figure, Zeng Yi couldn't help but find it amusing. Is it trying to make me play with it? It was a spirit beast with 2,000 years of cultivation. Although spirit beast cultivation was not solely based on age, they were still several hundred years old, right? Why is it acting like a child? But thinking about it, Xiao Wu was also a 100,000 year spirit beast; who knows how long it has lived? Its temperament is also like that of a child. It actually seems quite normal.

However, Zeng Yi was not in the mood to play now. For him, the key was how to break through the limitations of ranks; that was the most crucial thing. Watching the small Thorny Armored Beast's departing figure, Zeng Yi suddenly thought of something and shouted, "By the way! I'm going into seclusion to cultivate recently, so don't bother me if you have nothing important!"

Hearing this, it turned around, glanced at Zeng Yi, emitted a low growl, and then left.

Zeng Yi stood at the entrance of the cave, watching it disappear from sight, and couldn't help but laugh. He turned and walked back inside.

During these days, Zeng Yi had adjusted his state of mind to its peak in preparation for this experiment. To explode his spirit rings! He felt that only by doing this could he break free from the limitations imposed by his cultivation rank and continue to cultivate. Of course, he was not sure whether he would succeed or not, but his intuition told him that it was very likely to be correct. At this moment, Zeng Yi just wanted to give it a try.

If it succeeded, then Zeng Yi would create history and become a unique cultivator in this world. If it failed, he might become a useless person.

Regardless of the outcome, Zeng Yi had already mentally prepared himself.

Zeng Yi sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and his mood became tense. After a few minutes, his rapid heartbeat gradually returned to normal.

Suddenly, spirit power began to radiate from his body. The surging spirit power was like waves, rushing out in the cave, making the confined space become heavy and oppressive.

Crack, crack, crack!

Under the pressure of the powerful spirit power, fine cracks appeared on the stone walls. Spirit rings began to emerge one by one beneath Zeng Yi.

Purple, Purple, Purple, Black.

The four spirit rings rotated slowly, shining with radiance, but the flickering brilliance seemed brighter than usual. It seemed like they were about to burst.

The four spirit rings started to grow, their bodies trembling slightly, and the radiance they emitted became even more dazzling.

At this moment, Zeng Yi's forehead was covered in veins and his cheeks twisted with signs of pain. All the muscles in his body tensed, and the blood vessels under his skin became clearly visible.

At this moment, a mutation occurred.

A spirit shadow appeared on each spirit ring!

Blue Darkness Wolf! Swordtooth Tiger! Sword Bamboo!

These spirit shadows and plants were Zeng Yi's spirit rings, obtained from these spirit beasts' bodies.

On the surface of the four spirit rings, cracks began to appear, as if they were about to shatter at any moment.

The spirit shadows in the void also became violent and filled with agony.

Faintly, the roar of spirit beasts seemed to echo through the space.

Zeng Yi opened his eyes. His pupils were bloodshot, and he endured the pain caused by the violent spirit force raging in his body, biting his teeth and blood began to flow from his lips.

"Break!"

Zeng Yi shouted loudly, and then his Martial Spirit Ability was instantly released.

The additional spirit power stored in his left arm bone instantly poured into Zeng Yi's body.

More spirit power was injected into the spirit rings, causing their radiance to become even more dazzling, like small suns.

Cracks appeared on all four spirit rings, extending and spreading across the entire rings.

In the cave, the terrifying spirit power set off a frenzied energy storm.

Boom!

Finally, as the Black spirit ring shattered, the other 3 Purple spirit rings also shattered consecutively.

Puff!

At that moment, Zeng Yi's body felt as if it had been struck by a heavy blow, and a mouthful of blood gushed out uncontrollably.

He felt that his body was like a sieve, with spirit power uncontrollably pouring out from within, rapidly depleting.

With the shattering of the spirit rings, even more violent spirit power overflowed from Zeng Yi's body like unbridled wild horses released from their restraints.

And at that moment, Zeng Yi's Martial Spirit underwent a mutation.

[Ronin Sword] suddenly appeared above Zeng Yi, the entire sword constantly flickering with light.

The violent spirit power emanating from Zeng Yi's body surged towards the sharp sword.

Zeng Yi witnessed this scene with great amazement. His lost spirit power was being absorbed by [Ronin Sword]! The sword shimmered with light, appearing to be breathing as the surging spirit power was drawn into it, just like a whale sucking in water.

This shocking scene lasted for nearly ten minutes.

The spirit power in the space was completely absorbed by [Ronin Sword].

"This..."

Zeng Yi looked at [Ronin Sword], which was still floating in the air, with a shocked and surprised expression, unable to find the words to express his feelings.

The development of the situation was something he could not have predicted at all.

And now, with all the spirit power absorbed by [Ronin Sword], the entire sword was bathed in a faint silver glow.

But what was even more shocking to Zeng Yi was what happened next.

A silver halo appeared on the sword of [Ronin Sword].

Wasn't this exactly the same as a spirit ring, just with a different color?

Was [Ronin Sword] capable of spontaneously condensing spirit rings?

However, the matter was not over yet. Another silver spirit ring condensed on [Ronin Sword]'s sword.

Zeng Yi watched all of this happen before his eyes, dumbfounded.

And [Ronin Sword] kept condensing spirit rings until it reached a total of four.

These spirit rings, without exception, emitted a silver glow.

After completing all of this, [Ronin Sword] slowly descended, its sword floating horizontally in front of Zeng Yi.

Looking at this sword, his Martial Spirit, [Ronin Sword], Zeng Yi's eyes were still filled with a dazed expression. He reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword.

Then, his consciousness returned, and an overwhelming sense of joy surged within him.
