The age limit for a Soul Master absorbing a Soul Ring depends on three factors:
Physical strength, Spiritual Power, and Martial Soul quality.
For Soul Rings of ten thousand years or more, the residual Soul Beast soul within them can cause soul tremors, becoming one of the major factors limiting a Soul Master from absorbing Soul Rings beyond their level.
However, the Nether Feather Fire Crow, with its ability to devour souls, is an absolute natural enemy to spiritual bodies and residual souls, akin to a father beating his son.
Does this mean that after Lin Xiao absorbs the Nether Feather Fire Crow, he will be able to ignore the issue of soul tremors, and perhaps even help others resolve the soul tremors from their Soul Rings?
Lin Xiao's eyes grew brighter.
On one side, he and Shui Bing'er were hidden in the tree canopy, their hands clasped together, ready to unleash their Martial Soul Fusion Skill at any moment to keep the Nether Feather Fire Crow from escaping.
On the other side, he stared intently at the Nether Feather Fire Crow, observing that after it finished devouring the residual Soul Beast soul within the Soul Ring, the Soul Ring did not dissipate.
Immediately.
Lin Xiao felt that his idea was feasible!
In his mind, Feng Yu's voice echoed.
"Lin Xiao, whether it's close combat or long-range attacks, agility or power attacks, you no longer have any weaknesses."
"And this Nether Feather Fire Crow can give you power specifically targeting souls."
"Perhaps it can help you forge a unique path."
This was also the reason Feng Yu recommended this Soul Beast to Lin Xiao!
Lin Xiao nodded, seizing the moment when the Nether Feather Fire Crow had finished devouring the residual soul within the Soul Ring and was about to leave. He gently squeezed Binger's palm.
"Extreme Flame: Heaven Burning, Sea Boiling!"
Accompanied by a burst of crimson light.
The adult version of Lin Xiao had fiery red hair flying, and a crimson Fire Phoenix soared into the sky. The surroundings instantly transformed into an endless domain of fire!
Lin Xiao took a step forward, mobilizing the flames within the domain to surround the Nether Feather Fire Crow.
Then he pointed a finger.
A beam of fire condensed to the extreme, carrying the high temperature that could burn everything, shot towards the Nether Feather Fire Crow!
...
Within the extra-dimensional space of the Lake of Life.
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was still regarded as food by the surrounding fierce beasts, but its heart was filled with excitement:
"I've found a way to solve the problem!"
"Although my lifespan is nearing its end due to the heavenly punishment, and I won't live long even if I escape this dreadful place, thankfully, heaven never seals off all exits!"
"My own lifespan is ending? It's simple, I just need to attach myself to other living creatures to survive, right?"
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had thought of two methods so far.
First, possession;
It could try to use its powerful spiritual power to forcefully occupy the bodies of weaker soul beasts or humans, but the drawback was that the spirit and body wouldn't be compatible, potentially leading to unpredictable side effects, and it would almost certainly cut off any possibility of reaching the peak!
Thus, the final outcome awaiting it would still be death!
Therefore, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm dismissed this method.
It was originally a cowardly Ice Silkworm, having never experienced bloody battles nor possessing strong willpower. Becoming a god through its own abilities?
Heh, don't dream about it!
Second, bind to a host and rely on others.
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm deeply felt the world's malice towards soul beasts! Not only did the God Realm suppress soul beasts and humans hunt them, but even soul beasts devoured other soul beasts!
So, if it had a choice, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm didn't want to be a soul beast anymore!
It had absolutely no psychological burden betraying the soul beast faction.
"Brother can completely sacrifice himself to a human with spiritual attributes!"
"With Brother's powerful spiritual power as a million-year spiritual attribute soul beast, even if I sacrifice myself to become a soul ring, I can still maintain my consciousness, and under Brother's earnest guidance, the human I choose will definitely become a top Soul Master with cheats all the way!"
"As long as the human I choose becomes a god, even the weakest god, I can follow this human and possess eternal life!"
"Maybe, after becoming a god, I can even regain a physical body!"
But this didn't really matter.
For a soul beast like the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm that relied purely on spiritual power, even without a physical body, it could still perceive the outside world, it just couldn't eat, drink, or excrete.
Thinking about it, it acted!
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm even put aside the matter of the strange Blue Silver Grass and focused all its efforts on searching the Star Dou Great Forest area for a suitable Soul Master to bind to.
But how difficult was it to find a Soul Master with spiritual attributes?
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had found nothing these past few days!
It was a bit troubled, "How about, Brother finds a test subject first?"
After detecting a Soul Saint expert appearing in the Star Dou Great Forest, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm shed its skin like a golden cicada, leaving behind the silkworm shell to continuously release the energy of heaven and earth, while its spiritual body, carrying its origin power, escaped from thedimensional space!
It drilled into the body of the Soul Master who had come to hunt for their Eighth Soul Ring, wanting to become their Eighth Soul Ring, and simply explained, "I'm a bit big, bear with it."
Then, it squeezed in headfirst.
To be precise, it hadn't fully squeezed in yet.
Just as its head entered, the body of that quasi-Soul Douluo expert clutched their head in excruciating pain, then instantly exploded, their entire body tearing apart, intestines scattered everywhere!
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was stunned.
It didn't feel any pity for this Soul Saint, but looking at the intestines all over the ground, it couldn't help but feel a little heartache for itself.
"Ah, Brother finally found a target with great difficulty."
"It failed so quickly?"
Without its silkworm shell, the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had no safety to speak of in the Star Dou Great Forest; it was even less safe than in thedimensional space filled with fierce beasts.
It then ran back.
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm summarized the lessons from this failure.
First, Soul Masters really need to have a spiritual attribute; only then can they be compatible with me!
Second, my energy is simply too vast. If it's not sealed or restricted, even a Titled Douluo probably wouldn't be able to withstand it!
"In the end, it's still my fault for being too strong."
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm muttered to itself, but it waited again for the next fated person. It just didn't expect that in a very short time, it would actually find its next target!
"This red-haired human is so young, yet he dares to bring his little girlfriend into the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest? Holy cow, so young, and he's already a Soul King?"
"His Martial Soul is the Fire Phoenix? This is a top-tier Martial Soul!"
"Genius, no, a monster! Absolutely a monster!"
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm suddenly became excited, because a monstrous genius Soul Master like this young man, even without its help, had the potential and hope of becoming a God!
He's young and easy to control...
Isn't he the perfect vessel for me?
"Furthermore, although this young man's Martial Soul isn't purely spiritual, his Spiritual Power is exceptionally strong, even stronger than some Soul Masters with purely spiritual attributes!"
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was itching to act.
Although there was a gamble involved, if it gambled wrong, the young man would probably explode like the previous Soul Saint expert, but it would try to be as careful as possible.
If it gambled correctly, wouldn't the young man also get a million-year Soul Ring for free?
Gamble wrong, Lin Xiao explodes!
Gamble right, everyone wins!
