Chapter 28: 48,000-Year Everlasting Spring Pine
Since he had already made the decision to make this Everlasting Spring Pine his sixth spirit ring, Lu Chen acted decisively.
"Third Spirit Ability, Blue Silver Protection!"
"Fifth Spirit Ability, Blue Silver Blessing!"
Lu Chen summoned his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. Crystal clear and radiating a soft golden halo, the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, permeated with a rich aura of life, grew and coiled around him.
Purple, purple, purple, black, black—five soul-stirring spirit rings emerged one after another beneath Lu Chen’s feet.
In an instant, his third purple spirit ring and his fifth black spirit ring shone with light one after the other.
As his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul shone with light, a blue barrier rose around Lu Chen’s body, thanks to his third Spirit Ability, Blue Silver Protection.
With his fifth Spirit Ability, Blue Silver Blessing, a rich force of life was released from the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and poured into Lu Chen’s body.
Lu Chen immediately felt strength surging endlessly from within his body.
His body underwent a massive transformation; his original height of 1.8 meters rapidly grew to two meters, and his muscles swelled and bulged, each one filled with explosive power.
Lu Chen felt that his condition had never been better; he had never felt so full of power as he did now.
This was his fifth Spirit Ability, Blue Silver Blessing, which channeled the force of life into his body, increasing all his attributes by 100%—attack, defense, strength, speed...
Lu Chen felt that he was now practically a humanoid Spirit Beast, and the explosive power within him made him feel as if he could do anything!
"Kill!"
With a roar, Lu Chen dashed toward the Everlasting Spring Pine like a thunderbolt, his entire body resembling a high-speed tank, carrying an unstoppable momentum as if he could crush any enemy.
The Everlasting Spring Pine clearly sensed Lu Chen’s aggressive and malicious approach. Its trunk trembled violently, and infused with spirit power, its originally soft, needle-like leaves instantly became as hard as fine steel.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Under the control of the Everlasting Spring Pine, the pine needles on its body shot through the air like Hidden Weapons. Because there were so many, they densely covered the entire sky.
Seeing this density of attacks, Lu Chen felt his scalp tingle; there was nowhere for him to dodge.
Therefore, he could only bite the bullet and charge toward the Everlasting Spring Pine, braving the pine needles that were cutting through the air.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Those pine needles, hard as fine steel, fell like raindrops onto the blue barrier, causing the energy shield to fluctuate violently, almost reaching the verge of shattering instantly.
Lu Chen frowned; this 48,000-year Everlasting Spring Pine certainly had some tricks up its sleeve.
In a flash, he quickly responded:
"Blue Silver Protection!"
Relying on his profound spirit power, Lu Chen used Blue Silver Protection seven times in a row, erecting a total of seven blue barriers around his body.
As the first blue barrier shattered, the dense swarm of pine needles pierced straight toward the second blue barrier, covering the sky and earth.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Under the continuous barrage of pine needle attacks, the second, third, and fourth blue barriers around Lu Chen shattered one after another.
However, taking advantage of this time, Lu Chen rushed in front of the Everlasting Spring Pine. He swung his fist, wildly circulating the spirit power within him, which felt as if it were boiling:
"Cannon Fist!"
Lu Chen threw a punch with the force of a thunderbolt, striking heavily onto the trunk of the Everlasting Spring Pine, instantly leaving a deep fist mark on it.
A ferocious energy shockwave swept out, penetrating into the interior of the Everlasting Spring Pine’s trunk, causing its entire tree body to shake violently.
Creak!
Sounds of being unable to bear the weight came from inside the trunk of the Everlasting Spring Pine, as if something within its trunk had broken.
Seeing this, Lu Chen was overjoyed!
It was effective!
As long as his attacks were effective, he would eventually be able to kill the Everlasting Spring Pine.
His eyes narrowed, and he attacked with both hands, punching the trunk of the Everlasting Spring Pine again and again without pause.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under Lu Chen’s heavy blows, the entire trunk of the Everlasting Spring Pine began to bend to one side, showing signs that it was about to break.
In this critical moment, the Everlasting Spring Pine changed its strategy. Seeing that the pine needles could not kill Lu Chen, it mobilized its roots.
Instantly, the earth trembled, and thick roots broke through the soil, winding toward Lu Chen like serpents and pythons.
Lu Chen glanced at them from the corner of his eye, then manipulated the Blue Silver Grass, extending branches to entangle with those thick roots.
One branch of Blue Silver Grass entangled one root of the Everlasting Spring Pine.
If one wasn’t enough, then three branches of Blue Silver Grass would entangle one root of the Everlasting Spring Pine.
In short, he used the branches of the Blue Silver Grass to hold tightly onto the roots of the Everlasting Spring Pine, preventing them from affecting him.
Lu Chen also became ruthless. Under the effect of Blue Silver Blessing, his attack, defense, strength, speed... all doubled, which gave him the confidence to kill the Everlasting Spring Pine.
At this moment, he didn’t care whether his body could withstand this power; he recklessly poured all his strength onto the trunk of the Everlasting Spring Pine.
A few punches, a dozen punches, dozens of punches, hundreds of punches, several hundred punches...
In the end, Lu Chen didn’t even know how many punches he had thrown.
And the Everlasting Spring Pine in front of him, finally, under Lu Chen’s continuous punches, snapped with a crack, completely breaking in half at the waist, and fell to the ground with a boom.
A faint, indistinct cry of sorrow slowly drifted into Lu Chen’s ears.
This Everlasting Spring Pine had finally died at Lu Chen’s hands.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
An incomparably rich black light was released from the trunk of the Everlasting Spring Pine. That energy was terrifying, causing the air to become viscous.
After several transformations, it condensed into a deep black spirit ring!
This was a 48,000-year Spirit Beast spirit ring!
Looking at this spirit ring, even though he was panting and covered in sweat, Lu Chen laughed heartily:
"Hahahaha..."
After venting all the joy in his heart.
Lu Chen began to treat the injuries on his body:
"First Spirit Ability, Blue Silver Recovery!"
"Second Spirit Ability, Blue Silver Grace!"
Bathed in a blue mist of light, Lu Chen’s mental and physical fatigue was greatly alleviated, and his bloodied and mangled fists quickly scabbed over, soon recovering to a pristine state.
Lu Chen, who had just been exhausted and had bloodied hands, recovered to his Peak state in the blink of an eye.
As for the consumed spirit power, Lu Chen could absorb the energy of heaven and earth just by breathing.
The speed of his spirit power recovery far exceeded the speed of its consumption.
After recovering his body, Lu Chen looked at the black spirit ring with shining eyes; he couldn’t wait to absorb it to truly become a six-ring Spirit Emperor.
However, before that, Lu Chen, just like before, vigilantly dug a hole in the ground, then crawled into it, and used the Blue Silver Grass to drag over a stone to completely block the entrance.
After doing all this, Lu Chen finally felt completely at ease.
