It was precisely because of this that the Thunderous Yanyu Vine seemed to have gained insight into a thread of life amidst destruction.
The shattered body began to reconstruct, and the bursting thunder light converged.
A dazzling purple light illuminated the scene.
Boom!
The Thunderous Yanyu Vine's absorption of Celestial Tribulation's power allowed it to surpass the threshold of one hundred thousand years, even directly elevating its cultivation by several thousand years.
In the sky above, another tribulation cloud formed.
The one hundred thousand years thunder tribulation belonging to the Thunderous Yanyu Vine.
This second tribulation cloud directly merged into the original one.
Similar to how the Celestial Tribulation assumed Thunderous Yanyu Vine and Blue Silver Emperor were allies, to increase its intensity, the Thunderous Yanyu Vine's tribulation cloud regarded Blue Silver Emperor as its ally.
However, a one hundred thousand years thunder tribulation is ultimately a one hundred thousand years thunder tribulation.
Having absorbed the Thunderbolt Power of a Fierce Beast's Celestial Tribulation, the Thunderous Yanyu Vine felt that the tribulation power was actually much easier.
Of course, this was an illusion.
After the restoration of its body, it began to shatter once again.
In its blind confidence, it was on the verge of explosion.
At the brink of shattering, the Thunderous Yanyu Vine finally sensed the danger to its body.
"Su Yu, quick, Soul Spirit transformation!"
This time, the Thunderous Yanyu Vine truly felt the destruction.
Su Yu did not hesitate as the array in front of him had long since been ready and radiated brilliantly.
Merging with the Contract Array manifested in his Sea of Spirit.
The Thunderous Yanyu Vine instantly agreed.
Under the power of the array, the body of the Thunderous Yanyu Vine transformed into a light and merged into Su Yu's body.
A powerful bond formed between the two.
At the same time, Su Yu also felt the bursting Thunderbolt Power.
"Hasn't this thing been fully absorbed yet?"
Su Yu cursed silently; this Thunderous Yanyu Vine was quite troublesome.
"You handle the absorption yourself, I'm only responsible for refining the Soul Ring."
"Teacher, I don't want the Soul Bone; help me forge it into something akin to the Godslaying Sword."
Elder Yi did not say much, extracting the Soul Bone energy nurturing within Su Yu and began refining it.
Blue Silver Emperor continued to endure the Celestial Tribulation Power.
With no Thunderous Yanyu Vine to share the burden, Su Yu had to fully absorb the Soul Ring of Thunderous Yanyu Vine, while Elder Yi was refining the Soul Bone meant for Su Yu from Thunderous Yanyu Vine.
Blue Silver Emperor was under immense pressure.
The body was slowly shattering under the tribulation, struggling with all its might.
The Life Force was increasingly declining.
...
Su Yu fully refined the Soul Ring of Thunderous Yanyu Vine, with the thunderous power permeating, his entire body's meridians were numbed.
Spiritual Power maintained stability, the Blade of Living Beings was fully activated, and Life Force surged into himself.
The Blade of Living Beings source sealed in the Sea of Spirit by Elder Yi also began operating, sustaining Su Yu's physical body.
Qi and Blood Power burst forth, trying to isolate the damage from the thunder to the meridians and internal organs.
Enduring all the pain, Su Yu fully refined the source of the Soul Ring.
In the past, he would first refine the soul power within the Soul Ring, dragging out the time as much as possible, before eventually refining the source of the Soul Ring to break through the Level 10 bottleneck.
Now, however, he had to first refine the source, then absorb the immense soul power.
Instead, the entire Thunderous Yanyu Vine, already integrated as a Soul Spirit within Su Yu, alleviated the worry of the soul power within the Soul Ring disappearing.
Boom!
Inside Su Yu, the thunder repeatedly shattered his meridians and internal organs, the Qi and Blood Power merged within, sustaining life, while Life Force integrated to recover the injuries to his meridians and internal organs.
Through this repetitive cycle, Su Yu's physique was tempered.
After a full five hours, Su Yu finally refined the source of the Thunderous Yanyu Vine's Soul Ring.
With the refinement of the Soul Ring source completed, Su Yu's soul power finally broke through.
Almost like a bonus Level 1 gained, coupled with the accumulation of soul power from Dragon Valley, and the soul power absorbed during the source refining process, Su Yu's soul power instantaneously surged to Level 55!
This wasn't over.
After refining the source of the Soul Ring, Su Yu began to refine the soul power within the Soul Ring.
Similar to Celestial Dream Ice Silkworm's sacrifice, sealing energy first and then absorbing the Soul Ring, then gradually releasing and absorbing the energy.
Su Yu was undergoing this same process, absorbing the Soul Ring completely before tackling the immense energy within.
His soul power quickly escalated during this process.
Level 56!
Level 57!
...
Time passed, Su Yu took an entire day and night to refine this vast soul power.
On the other side, Blue Silver Emperor was severely wounded.
The Celestial Tribulation also finally approached its end.
However, the closer to the end, the more terrifying it became.
Every strike further damaged Blue Silver Emperor's life core.
Yet, in the face of such devastating blows, Blue Silver Emperor persistently endured.
He exemplified the tenacity of Blue Silver Grass's life.
Blue Silver Emperor, this title befitted his role.
Su Yu's soul power had reached Level 59 four hours ago.
This last level, however, remained stubbornly unbreakable.
"Old Zi, absorb some more Celestial Tribulation!"
Boom crack!
The finale of the Celestial Tribulation descended like blades slicing through vital points again and again.
The thick tribulation struck, putting Blue Silver Emperor on the brink of collapse.
At the moment, Thunderous Yanyu Vine's illusory figure emerged, drawing part of the thunder into itself.
The thunder got absorbed by Thunderous Yanyu Vine, while Su Yu received simultaneous feedback, a mighty energy impact.
Su Yu's viscera and organs shattered.
The entire body's meridians cracked.
Yet at the same time, aided by this power, Su Yu's long-stuck bottleneck finally broke open.
The attribute of Ultimate Life erupted, the Blade of Living Beings exerted force, and Su Yu's shattered organs and meridians gradually healed.
"Great Brightness Technique!"
Upon successfully refining the Whip of the Thunder God, Elder Yi observed Su Yu's condition, unleashed an eighth-level Light Magic, leading to an eruption of Life Force from the Blade of Living Beings within Su Yu, instantly healing the broken organs and meridians.
Soul power reached Level 60, as Su Yu sensed the condition of Blue Silver Emperor.
"This should be the last Celestial Tribulation!"
The tribulation cloud above contracted, consolidating into one final thunder strike.
Titanic thunder pierced through the heavens and earth.
Boom crack!
Blue Silver Emperor's body shattered instantaneously, its life core fragmented beneath this thunder.
Life Force surged incessantly, battling against complete annihilation.
The Blue Silver Grass was still too fragile.
Despite evolving into an Emperor, its body remained fragile.
Although elevating its quality to top tier through a process akin to sealing it with faith, it couldn't fully compensate for its inherent fragility.
Of course, in the Life Domain, Blue Silver Emperor exhibited extreme strength.
This might be an enhancement brought about by becoming an Emperor, boosting Life Force rather than resilience, defense, or destructive power.
In these aspects, the Blue Silver Emperor exceeded normal Blue Silver Grass especially when Life Force was stimulated.
It also demonstrated Su Yu's prudent choice initially.
The core race feature of Blue Silver Grass is life itself!
...
Blue Silver Emperor endured.
Surviving within the two hundred thousand years Fierce Beast Celestial Tribulation.
Yet because of this, its source was damaged, even if it didn't evaporate into ash within the tribulation, it would not live over ten years.
It may not even survive a year.
"Su Yu, you can begin now."
Blue Silver Emperor seemed to have made a decision in its last moments, something on its life core seemed to vanish.
Su Yu's eyes fluctuated.
It was Blue Silver Emperor's authority.
It had handed over this authority, within the Douluo Continent's Sun and Moon Empire, the highest cultivated Blue Silver King shall inherit this authority, becoming the new Blue Silver Emperor.
Or perhaps, Blue Silver Emperor had long since chosen whom to bestow this authority.
These were matters Su Yu did not care too deeply about.
The two hundred thousand years Blue Silver Emperor, even without authority, was still a Blue Silver Emperor.
Celestial Tribulation couldn't erase its core essence, nor could authority transfer it.
Su Yu inscribed void and etched the Transformation Array.
Blue Silver Emperor's life core together with the surrounding shattered body transformed into light, pouring into Su Yu's body.
"Teacher, may I trouble you once again?"
Ellex, during the nurturing of the Soul Bone bestowed by Blue Silver Emperor to Su Yu, extracted this energy and began refining.
