Chapter 311: I Bestow Upon Myself, A False "God bestowed Spirit Ring"
At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Han Li arrived alone this time, not even bringing Ye LingLing along. Ah Yin's cultivation was still lacking.
Under his forced maturation process, the Blue Silver Emperor had already regained consciousness but was in constant discomfort, its body being forcefully infused with energy every moment. Merely maintaining its current state was already a struggle.
Without Han Li's permission, Blue Silver King and Sky Dream could only speak to her from a distance, unable to even get close.
"What did you do to them?"
The moment Han Li approached, a faint spectral figure emerged from the now massive body of the Blue Silver Emperor it was Ah Yin. Her expression was complex.
The scene Han Li had projected from Spirit City had clearly shaken her deeply.
"I killed them."
Han Li's tone was indifferent as he stepped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Her spirit projection was indeed beautiful, but he had no interest in her body. Her fate had long since been determined by him she was nothing more than a spirit ring provider.
Ah Yin's projection trembled slightly, and just before Han Li fully submerged, she finally voiced the question she had been holding back all this time.
"Why did you bring me here and help me recover? What do you want?"
"Your spirit ring. What else?"
Han Li gave her a puzzled look, as if her question was ridiculous.
Just then, he caught sight of Sky Dream, trying to sneak away.
"Oh, and of course, I also promised Blue Silver King something. The real question is, has it made up its mind? After you die, it will become the next Blue Silver Emperor, and I will grant protection to your entire race."
Han Li's gaze shifted to the silent Blue Silver King, adding,
"Of course, you can choose to resist… or, in your final moments, you can fulfill your duty as an emperor one last time."
Without waiting for a response, Han Li fully submerged himself into the well's waters.
Compared to trivial matters like these, his own power growth was far more important.
At level 80, his next two spirit rings were no longer reliant on killing spirit beasts. Yes, spirit bones could still bring significant benefits, but now wasn't the best time to pursue them.
That's why he chose the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. This place had always been his secret backup energy source. Even though he had already taken the Ice and Fire Dragon King's spirit bones, the remaining energy here was still the best choice for him.
Moreover, now that his body had begun transforming into a divine vessel, the invasive effects of the well's energy were meaningless to him.
The watchful eyes of the God Realm had also withdrawn, leaving behind only the coordinates of the divine inheritance sites as compensation. Now, nothing could hold him back from improving himself.
But first he needed a spirit ring.
Yes, even now, despite his partial mastery of divine level rules, he was still bound by Douluo Continent's cultivation framework. To break into Title Douluo, he still required a spirit ring.
Luckily, he was a master at exploiting the system.
After years of studying rule based mechanics, it was time to cheat the game.
Creating a "Self Bestowed" Spirit Ring
Spirit rings were fundamentally a fusion of rules and energy.
Han Li already controlled a portion of the Ice and Fire elements and had a near infinite energy source in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Since he lacked neither rules nor energy, then… why couldn't he create a "God bestowed Spirit Ring" himself?
With faith power as his filter, Han Li began absorbing energy from the well at an overwhelming rate.
In the air, he etched rules into the void with his spiritual power, creating a framework that devoured energy at an alarming pace.
The artificial spirit ring skipped through the usual colors instantly, turning deep black before rapidly shifting to blood red.
As time passed, the crimson hue gradually faded, becoming a pale red, tinged with golden faith energy.
100,000 years.
200,000 years.
300,000 years…
The spirit ring's age kept rising.
Within the well, due to Han Li's absorption, an immense energy vortex formed.
Sky Dream, who wasn't rooted in place like the others, clung desperately to Blue Silver King, barely avoiding being sucked into the storm.
At the bottom of the well, the spirit ring finally stabilized at 800,000 years and stopped growing.
Han Li clicked his tongue whether in satisfaction or dissatisfaction, even he wasn't sure.
He had reached his current absorption limit.
His lack of additional spirit bones and his incomplete divine transformation made it difficult to go any further.
Still, since this was a self generated spirit ring, its age could continue to increase naturally over time as his strength grew. There would be no bottleneck.
As for its skill effects, he had already planned those in advance.
Honestly, at this point, spirit skills barely mattered to him.
Other people's abilities? He could replicate nearly all of them.
His own toolkit was far broader and more versatile.
Even so, he couldn't help himself his perfectionist tendencies kicked in.
Thus, instead of a standard elemental ability, he modeled the spirit skill after the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings he had seen before.
Thus, his eighth spirit skill was born Ice Fire Avatar.
After activation, two clones materialize, each possessing 70% of Han Li's power. These clones take the form of the Ice Fire Dragon Kings, inheriting all their abilities, including Dragon's Might.
However, these clones lack independent intelligence and must be controlled directly by Han Li. If left unattended, they will only rely on their combat instincts, essentially becoming two oversized fire/water breathing dragons.
The eighth spirit ring also grants 30% increased attack power and 30% reduced spirit power consumption, though for Han Li, this is merely a minor improvement.
Since it was custom made, Han Li also added a few extra features. Now, with this spirit ring, every arrow he shoots, every strike he makes can selectively manifest the phantom image of the Ice Fire Dragon Kings for visual and intimidation effects.
As the spirit ring formation completed, Han Li's figure rose from the depths of the well.
At this moment, his spirit power had skyrocketed from level 80 to level 90, and three entire days had passed.
Without suppressing his aura, Han Li felt the changes within his body.
Beyond the natural increase in spirit ring and spirit bone age, the improvements weren't particularly noticeable the biggest change was his raw spirit power, which finally compensated for his previous shortcomings.
However, for the three spirit beasts of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, this scene was utterly terrifying.
In just three days, they had personally witnessed the immense disturbance caused by Han Li, and now, he had advanced ten whole levels.
What's more, the most ridiculous thing was the new spirit ring atop his head its unfathomable aura and the intense Dragon's Might were suffocating them.
Had they not known for certain that Han Li was from Spirit Hall, they never would have believed he was human.
"How do you like my 'God bestowed Spirit Ring'?"
Sensing their fear and disbelief, Han Li smiled at Blue Silver King and Sky Dream.
If no one appreciated his masterpiece, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?
Hearing the phrase "God bestowed Spirit Ring", Blue Silver King and Sky Dream immediately prostrated lower, not daring to speak. Han Li's previous promise now seemed even more credible.
"Boring."
Ignoring Ah Yin's complex emotions, Han Li vanished from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Before leaving, he secretly intensified the energy infusion into Ah Yin, ensuring that as she recovered, she would have even less strength to resist.
As for the "choice" he had given her? Han Li didn't care.
Regardless of what she chose, the outcome was the same. It was merely a matter of mental comfort for her.
On the Way Back to Heaven Dou City
Han Li slowed his pace, instinctively analyzing the issues he had encountered during his spirit ring formation.
Originally, he had planned to create both his eighth and ninth spirit rings at the same time but in the end, he abandoned that idea.
He realized that, although his eighth spirit ring was technically a "self made God bestowed Spirit Ring", due to the limited diversity in its energy source, its growth potential was severely restricted.
Unlike true God bestowed Spirit Rings, Han Li's control over rules was still inferior to actual gods.
Moreover, his primary focus had always been on Ice and Fire attributes, meaning any further spirit rings he created would likely be too similar to his existing one, offering minimal benefits.
Thus, in essence, his so called "God bestowed Spirit Ring" was only a pseudo version, at least for someone of his caliber.
As for breaking down other people's spirit ring rules? Without his "good son" to assist him, the process was excessively difficult.
There was also a very real issue simple spirit rings were useless to him, but complex ones were beyond his current capabilities to create.
Rather than wasting time constructing a subpar ninth spirit ring, he might as well acquire one the traditional way.
Even though he was still missing a spirit ring, it wouldn't significantly impact his combat power.
If he could win, he would win anyway. If he couldn't, an extra spirit ring wouldn't change the outcome.
This was precisely why he had brought Qian Daoliu along.
His primary goal in visiting the Star Dou Forest core region was not necessarily to negotiate cooperation the priority was to stabilize the other party and at least provide them with hope.
This was the price he had to pay for rapidly accumulating faith power.
Now that his objectives had been met, he needed time to digest and consolidate his gains.
More importantly, it was time to wake up his "good son."
Since Tang San's death, the Plane's Will had remained silent.
Even as an overwhelming amount of faith power poured in, it still hadn't awakened, making Han Li suspicious.
Regardless of his original plans, interacting with the spirit beast faction had now become unavoidable. Han Li wouldn't hesitate.
He was well aware his mere ten plus years of effort could never realistically catch up to, let alone surpass, the accumulation of thousands or even tens of thousands of years of cultivation by others.
Unless… he had a cheat.
Which was precisely why awakening Wind Spirit Moon Shadow was necessary.
With this in mind, Han Li quickened his pace toward Heaven Dou City.
