--- Chapter 172 ---
Although Tang San's blue silver grass has gotten rid of the curse Ah Yin placed, it doesn't mean he can defy the meticulous planning Han Yuan did from the shadows.
Ultimately, a mutated blue silver grass is still a blue silver grass in front of Han Yuan, and its weakness is apparent. Even if it becomes an emperor-like existence, the weakness is still there. Yes, it is none other than life energy (vitality) and low potential dimensionality.
Even the Blue Silver Emperor is at most a planetary-level existence, and Ah Yin achieved this by parasitizing the Ancient Golden Tree from the second book onward, becoming Douluo Planet's life core.
One blue silver grass is weak.
However, trillions, if not quadrillions, of them are capable of terraforming a planet and allowing humans to live there.
Then, again, it is still a lower-dimensional creature.
The same goes for Tang San's mutated blue silver grass.
Red Silver Slaughter Grass.
Pfft, how can it compare to Han Yuan's purple silver grass?
Purple Silver Grass is not just a mere hybrid of Blue Silver Emperor's royal bloodline and Thunder Hell Prison Vine's thunder god bloodline, but also has the power of "void" that lets Han Yuan's soul drift for god-know-how long, capable of breaking the lower dimensional limit with nearly infinite potential.
Hehe, even until this day, Han Yuan doesn't know what kind of place "void" is.
All Han Yuan knew was that the "void" held mysterious power beyond Douluo Dalu's universe. After all, it holds many inheritances, cheats, and artifacts from another world.
You, Tang San, have cheats called cheap-ass Asura?
Hehe, my cheats are better than yours!
So, while the Red Silver Slaughter Emperor is a forbidden spirit, Han Yuan wasn't afraid or nervous.
His 'Purple Silver Grass' has an untapped potential beyond that.
The emperor is just a first step.
One day, a monarch will be born!
Back in the misty domain, the golden flame and dragon glanced at each other and regarded Han Yuan's indifference toward the forbidden spirit as bizarre.
"You should take this seriously, Son of Destiny!" The golden flame said solemnly.
"I agree with this annoying brat! You should take the Son of Corruption seriously, Han Yuan." Di Yating added, putting aside her dislike of the douluo planet's consciousness.
Han Yuan yawned, "Yeah, yeah, whatever."
"Di Yating, you agreed to become my Spirit Soul. I think it's time to fulfill your side of the deal."
"..." Di Yating.
"..." The golden flame.
They are speechless.
Can you take our words more seriously?
"I know that you're thinking that I don't take the Son of Corruption seriously, and you're right." Han Yuan admitted as a matter of fact.
'Speak human!' Di Yating and the douluo planet's consciousness roared in their hearts.
Han Yuan shrugged helplessly, "You don't know the grudge I have with Tang San and Asura. You only saw Tang San as your target because he was the Son of Corruption, but the real target is still Asura."
"Do you think Tang San's blue silver grass could mutate if Asura didn't meddle in it?"
"We killed Tang San, then what? Asura can easily revive him if he wants to." Han Yuan gave them a sneer.
"You two were blindsided."
"All you saw was the grass, but not the root of the problem."
"This..." Di Yating and the douluo planet's consciousness were stunned because they were truly blind. They completely forget that Asura was the one helping Tang San, taking the 'god can't interfere with mortal words' for granted.
Di Yating grimaced at this realization, 'Yes, Asura was the one supporting the Son of Corruption. If we want to end the Son of Corruption, we must deal with Asura, too.'
The golden flame fell into a deep thought, "But you have a way, right?"
"I can feel some God of Destruction's power on you, which means you have communicated with him a few times."
"God of Destruction..." Di Yating recalled some unpleasant memories in her soul. Even then, the dragon didn't comment much about the God of Destruction, as this person is much more noble than Asura.
Di Yating would rather fight the God of Destruction than the annoying Asura.
Han Yuan replied casually, "At the moment, the center of God's Realm is no longer governed by Asura alone. A few other gods also monitored the center of God's Realm, preventing Asura from doing some tricks on the lower worlds."
"It was under the instigation of the God of Destruction because the Flower God recently fell mysteriously."
"This method was 'naturally' used to give me enough time to grow."
"After all, the one giving me the Thunder God's Inheritance was the God of Destruction."
"However, that doesn't mean Asura is not without a method to do his things."
"He still has eyes and hands on the Douluo Continent."
"Can we just report him?" The douluo planet's consciousness commented with a sparking body.
"Do you have evidence?" asked Han Yuan back.
The golden flame instantly became silent. Even though it sensed a divine power helping the Son of Corruption, the actual footage of it happening wasn't 'really' recorded.
Yes, it just happened under the nose of the plane's consciousness.
Di Yating's mouth twitched, "Useless."
"Call me that again, and I'll cut off your connection with the small plane below!" The golden flame was annoyed.
"Do it! It's not like I need that plane anymore." Di Yating confidently said as Han Yuan was about to become her contractor. Who likes that cramped space anyway?
"..." The golden flame would grit its teeth and clench its hands if it had any at this moment.
Han Yuan rubbed his eyebrows, "Let's put this matter aside for now. I will go on with my cultivation and strike Asura when I'm ready."
"Don't worry about Tang San, I have my eyes on him."
"In fact, you can also help me monitor Tang San." He added to the golden flame. "At least you can provide me with enough evidence to drop charges on Asura."
"Fine!" The golden flame responded unhappily. It admitted that it was being too anxious earlier.
Di Yating laughed at the golden flame, "Hehe, too bad for you."
"What are we waiting for then? Let's start the ceremony!" She glanced back at Han Yuan.
Han Yuan nodded and used the Secret of Souls to envelop Di Yating's body, preventing her spirit from getting harmed even further. He also injected her with more vitality, healing her injury.
'Oh? So much vitality?' Di Yating narrowed her eyes, feeling that all the injury Han Yuan had done to her was recovering at an alarming rate. And it's not just the amount; the purity and density of Han Yuan's vitality are very impressive.
Even some pure-blooded True Dragons don't have such vitality.
Han Yuan murmured some spells and thought, 'Thankfully, Di Yating was already a spiritual lifeform, so the process of transforming her into Spirit Soul won't take long.'
The golden flame observed the ritual curiously. Although it knows that Han Yuan had created a new system where humans and spirit beasts achieve mutual symbiosis, it never sees it directly.
At first, everything went well.
Di Yating severed her connection with the small plane and successfully transformed into a Spirit Soul. However, when the Soul Contract ritual commenced, Han Yuan's martial soul caused the surrounding space to shake.
ROAR!
In the cloudy sky, a lone black ant hovered gently.
As the ant's ferocious roar echoed, the cloudy sky parted with a shockwave, revealing the shining sun.
If not for the golden flame, the very heaven and earth would get ripped apart by the roar of that black ant.
"W-What is that?" Di Yating felt a tremor in her soul. Her spiritual body shivered in fear.
The same goes for the plane's consciousness. "T-That's his second martial soul?"
"How could such an illogical monstrosity exist?"
They then shifted their gazes to Han Yuan, observing him standing coolly with little to no expression on his face.
Never in their lives had they encountered such a monstrosity.
A Monstrosity named Han Yuan!
No wonder you're not nervous when we talks about the Son of Corruption.
Han Yuan stared at the indifferent Clear Sky Ant King, feeling the disgust it had toward Di Yating. He was speechless. 'Damn, you even looked down on a pure-blooded true dragon?'
'Talking about the high standard.'
'What should I do then?'
