Chapter 262 - When One Ascends, All Rise: Full-Group Evolution

Ten days passed. When Nangong Lingyun awakened and slowly opened his eyes,a brilliant divine light burst out from them — visible even to the naked eye.

His entire aura had become ethereal beyond measure, as if an immortal descending with dao-rhyme circling around him, giving off an indescribably mysterious feeling.

There were also many strands of hair scattered across the floor around him —

They were those naturally shed during the metamorphosis process. Even his eyebrows had completely fallen off and regrown anew.

Now, each strand of his hair was crystal-clear. Although still black, it looked as though polished from premium obsidian, carrying a faint luster.

But what shocked him even more was…

Lined up neatly at his feet were five soul bones.The first was the million-year Supreme God-King–level Dark Demon Dragon God Skull, which enhanced spiritual power and controlled time, darkness, death, and emotion.

The Indestructible Calamity Golden Holy Dragon God Torso Bone, boosting all attributes — life, qi and blood, strength, defense, stability.

And the same-level, same-age Element-Bearing Left and Right Leg Bones, plus the external soul bone Supreme Heavy Pupil — all had fallen off.

"Soul bones were actually rejected?"

Nangong Lingyun gently touched the skull. He sensed that all these treasures were in a strange state — almost as if they had lost all their power, becoming ordinary and decayed.

A Supreme God-King–level soul bone worth fifty million — even if used once, it shouldn't weaken like this.

Unexpectedly, the moment his fingertips touched the surface, before he even lifted it, the bone suddenly collapsed, turning into a pile of dazzling crystalline particles.

Nangong Lingyun blinked. He instantly understood that these were consumed as fuel for Taihua Yixing.

He immediately examined himself — and the next moment he was overjoyed.

His two martial soul bodies, Archaic Holy Physique and Chaos Holy Spirit, not only had all original abilities strengthened, they had even gained new traits of the Five Elements.

The Archaic Holy Physique aligned with the yang Five Elements, while the Chaos Holy Spirit aligned with the yin Five Elements.Though not yet at the ultimate level, they were already stronger and purer than the vast majority of top-tier super martial souls.

In addition, within his bones, there now floated countless profound three-dimensional sigils.

Not just in the skull, leg bones, and torso — even the arm bones that had never absorbed soul bones were filled with these patterns.

Their colors were vivid, as if radiating divine brilliance.

Lingyun had sensed these patterns before inside soul bones — the core crafting techniques of soul tools were developed by imitating and studying the structures of countless soul bones.

In other words — his bones were transforming toward soul bones, even god bones.

This was undoubtedly a massive surprise.

Compared to external items, the "original parts" were obviously more compatible, more reliable, more limitless, and free of hidden dangers.

After checking the physical changes, Nangong Lingyun released all his soul rings.

Unsurprisingly, after such a massive metamorphosis, the seventh rings of both martial souls had reached one million years.

But — they weren't the usual golden million-year rings.They shimmered in silver-white, cyan-green, deep-black, crimson-red, and yellow-brown, woven like a bracelet, intertwining in a regular pattern.

They were also several times thicker and larger than the others, with brilliant flickering light and a solid, almost tangible presence.

Seeing such soul rings,

even the ever-calm Nangong Immortal couldn't help exclaiming,"Holy crap!"

Going all the way, he then strengthened all remaining twelve soul rings to one million years as well.

Ordinary soul rings cost ten times their age.Special rings had extra multipliers.Breaking through the million-year level seemed to require an additional special expenditure.

Total cost: 680 million.

Originally, that would have hurt. But now, with his balance still nowhere near dropping below ten billion — a twelve-digit savings account — it was nothing but spare change.

After the evolution, all soul rings became just as thick and large as the Taihua Yixing ones.

And every ring's color began acting wild.

Archaic Holy Physique:• First ring Heaven-Earth Manifestation → red-gold• Yi Qi Sanqing → red, green, blue primary colors• Dianyang → interwoven yin black and white — relatively normal

• Five Elements Creation had pure white dotted with five-colored specks• Thousand Transformations held endless shifting hues.

Chaos Holy Spirit also changed:• Mirror Flower Water Moon — silver• Time Control — blue• Mind Control — gray• Darkness Control — deep black• Dao Yin Cheng Yang — black and white intertwined• Necro Divine Light — black dotted with five-colored specks.

Among all rings, only Earth-Piercing Golden Light still shone with brilliant gold — sticking out like a sore thumb.

After checking both martial souls, Nangong Lingyun turned his gaze to the Beast-Taming Space.

As expected, because of Longevity Art, it too had gained portions of yin-yang and five-element properties, stabilizing its foundational structure.

The space had expanded wildly.The land area was now roughly one-third of the Douluo Continent — equivalent to the entire Heaven Dou Empire.

During the evolution, all six spirit beasts underwent wondrous transformation.

A-Yin and A-Zi's plant attributes were showing signs of evolving into Wood of the Five Elements.

People often mistook the Five Elements as five natural elements, but in truth they referred to five modes of energy transformation in the universe — wood represented growth.

The difference between the two was like a single banknote versus an infinite-printing money machine — incomparable.

Golden Lion-Tiger's metal attribute, Sun Golden Crow's fire attribute, and Dragon God Turtle's earth attribute were all transitioning from simple elemental forces toward Five-Element power.

Though still far from completing true nirvana, this was already a tremendous boost — calling it a massive surge in potential was no exaggeration.

Additionally, A-Zi's cultivation had risen to 100,000 years, and the Golden Lion-Tiger wasn't far behind.

The last one — the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger — benefited even more.

Originally pitch-black, a small tuft of white fur had grown atop its head, indicating the reawakening of its long-suppressed light attribute.

When light and darkness reached equilibrium, it could retro-evolve into the Supreme God-King–level Light-Dark Evil Demon Sacred God Tiger — a peerless prodigy who once contended with the Dragon God but narrowly lost.

Her current cultivation was just over 90,000 years.With the Beast-Taming World's current amplification, even by the most conservative estimate, she could break through easily in less than two years.

Even more gratifying to Nangong Lingyun was that all the immortal herbs' souls had received substantial completion and strengthening.

They still lagged behind true ferocious beasts that had endured heavenly tribulations, but fully met the requirements to transform into soul spirits.

Their quality and cultivation slightly improved as well, meaning he could directly use them later as resources to perform Taihua Yixing for his harem, repairing their foundations and innate talent from the root.

While Nangong Lingyun was checking everything, a voice entered his mind — the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger calling for him.

When he descended before her, the black tiger suddenly spat out a pitch-black bead, its surface shimmering with halos of gray, cyan, blue, and red.

The tiger cub said excitedly:

"Boss, give this to your little girlfriend, yeah?The one with the big chest and big butt — her ability matches it perfectly.

"As for me, I plan to start from scratch, to re-condense a brand-new core carrying all four attributes — light, darkness, holiness, and evil.

"Otherwise, if I accidentally break through to 100,000 years, it'll be way harder to adjust afterward.

"To condense light and holy power, I've gotta suppress the dark and evil power from messing things up.

"Right now, the dark and evil force is strong, but still controllable — once I hit 100,000 years, that might not be the case."
