After Ye Lan transformed into a six-meter giant, he discovered that the range of his "Natural Domain" had simultaneously expanded by 3.3 times.
Looking at a fist roughly the size of a pumpkin, Ye Lan muttered to himself:
This punch could probably kill Xiao Wu, huh?
While Ye Lan and Silver Wolf were marveling at the strength of the Titan Divine Body, Ye Lan noticed that the shared total HP above his head had already risen to sixty percent.
He immediately set aside his playfulness and shouted again:
"Titanize!!"
At that moment, the Blue-Silver Grasses around Ye Lan—already more than sixty meters tall—grew even larger.
Every single Blue-Silver Sacrificial plant lengthened to over 160 meters!!
At the same time, each of these Blue-Silver Sacrificials' strength shot up to high-tier Soul Emperor levels.
The six-meter giant Ye Lan stood there, speechless, staring at the transformations of the Blue-Silver Sacrificials.
He hadn't expected Titanize to actually take effect on the Blue-Silver Sacrificials!!
Remember, the life force of all the Blue-Silver Sacrificials was being shared with Ye Lan.
Now that the shared total HP was being registered on Ye Lan, the Blue-Silver Sacrificials, strictly speaking, should have been in a zero-HP state.
Ye Lan activated his Eight- Faced Ingenuity Heart and did a quick calculation—he determined the Blue-Silver Grass's size had increased by twenty-one times, i.e. 21 ≈ 2^7.
A twenty-one-fold growth meant Titanize had effectively classified those zero-HP Blue-Silver Sacrificials as possessing Soul Emperor–level life.
From then on, he could activate both Titan Divine Body and Titanize at the same time.
In combat, that would prevent the Blue-Silver Sacrificials from becoming lifeless burdens—having HP but no strength.
Fifteen Blue-Silver Sacrificials, each with Soul Emperor–level strength and an almost impossible-to-destroy life pool.
With their present HP ceiling, a Soul Emperor could never kill them faster than they could regenerate.
Even when facing a Soul Sage, those Blue-Silver Sacrificials would likely only be overrun and pounded to death; a Soul Sage simply isn't capable of handling fifteen Soul Emperors at once.
Silver Wolf looked at the fifteen 100+ meter, 3+ meter-thick, towering Blue-Silver vines and was full of question marks.
Is this even a person??!!!
Even a Ten-Directional-Year spirit ring shouldn't produce something this absurd, right?!!
"Xiao Lan, what the hell is this? It's taller than the Great Dou Arena in Heaven Dou City!" Silver Wolf exclaimed in shock.
Ye Lan pondered for a moment and said, "They're Titan Blue-Silver."
Calling them "Blue-Silver Sacrificials" suddenly sounded too weak—"Titan Blue-Silver" fit perfectly.
(Author's aside: two short names — "Titan Blue-Silver" and "Blue-Silver Colossus." Which do you like? Comment below. If you have a better name, suggest it; the author is bad at naming.)
Ye Lan then began to circulate soul power to test the Titan Blue-Silver's offensive capability.
At that moment Silver Wolf saw one of the Titan Blue-Silvers move.
A single sweep of a 100+ meter tall Titan Blue-Silver.
Within tens of meters around Silver Wolf, the air stirred though there was no wind.
The immense wind pressure sent leaves fluttering and rustling.
Boom!!
The Titan Blue-Silver unleashed a sonic boom; its afterimage struck the ground with blinding speed.
Thud!!
The shockwave sent countless chunks of earth flying—branches, shattered leaves and soil shot out like two tidal waves rising into the air.
Two brown tsunamis, each over a hundred meters long and many meters high, slammed outward in opposite directions.
After its strike, the Titan Blue-Silver immediately rose again, gathering energy for the next blow.
Clearly, this was the Titanize's doubled attack speed taking effect.
Previously a Blue-Silver Sacrificial could only strike the ground once per second; a Titan Sacrificial could hit twice per second, so the total damage effectively doubled!!
When the Titan Blue-Silver rose, Ye Lan saw a long trench—over a hundred meters long, three meters wide, and more than two meters deep—and was shaken.
In moments, Ye Lan had estimated the true combat capacity of the Blue-Silver Sacrificials: the Soul Emperor–level strength had not been diluted by their enormous size or by the wide attack area.
All of the Titan Blue-Silver's attacks carried Soul Emperor–level damage per unit area.
Thinking quickly, Ye Lan commanded the Titan Blue-Silvers to strike a single point.
Thud!!
A huge golden afterimage slammed into the ground, opening another pit roughly three by two meters.
Now Ye Lan was certain.
The Titan Blue-Silvers' power was indeed Soul Emperor–level—but oddly, no matter how large the contact area during an attack, the inflicted damage would always be Soul Emperor–level.
In other words, Ye Lan now possessed fifteen giant AoE attackers—each over a hundred meters in range and more than three meters wide—capable of Soul Emperor–level strikes!
Silver Wolf gaped at Ye Lan's Titan Blue-Silvers in amazement.
It seemed Ye Lan alone, using Titan Blue-Silver, could massacre Soul Sages. Bear in mind Soul Sages have Wuhun true forms and terrifying soul power amplifications.
If one genius Soul Lord could defeat a Soul Emperor, then even if his fourth ring reached the extreme black, he still wouldn't be able to beat a Soul Sage during the sect stage.
This was Ye Lan's strength now: without counting his own body, just relying on the Blue-Silver Grass, he could overwhelm Soul Sages!
While Silver Wolf was marveling at Ye Lan's power, Ye Lan's actions did not stop.
The six-meter body shrank back down to 1.83 meters.
Then Ye Lan declared in a deep voice:
"Titan Divine Body!!"
At that instant, Ye Lan transferred the shared total HP to one Titan Blue-Silver.
That Blue-Silver Sacrificial's life immediately rose to Soul Sage–level, and simultaneously Titanize and Titan Divine Body were triggered!!
The Blue-Silver Sacrificial's size skyrocketed at incredible speed!!
170 meters!
190 meters!
210 meters!
250 meters!!
Silver Wolf was stunned—was that really Blue-Silver Grass?
Ye Lan stared at the 250-meter Blue-Silver and was equally shocked.
The Titan Divine Blue-Silver's height now reached four times that of Ultraman!! Even if its strength wasn't entirely comparable, by appearance alone such a size deserved a 100,000–year spirit ring.
Ye Lan then calculated the Titan Divine Blue-Silver's size growth. Activating Eight-Faced Ingenuity Heart, he instantly estimated the Titan Divine Blue-Silver's size at 4.08 times that of the Titan Sacrificial.
That meant the Titan Divine Blue-Silver's size was 68 times that of a normal Blue-Silver Sacrificial—in other words, twice the 34-fold growth corresponding to Soul Sage–level life.
This confirmed Titan Divine Body and Titanize were both active!!
That meant the Titan Divine Blue-Silver's gained strength equaled the Titan Divine Body passive (50%) plus Titanize (80%) plus "Titan-Divine-ization" (80%).
In total it had received 210% of Soul Sage–level power—i.e., Douluo-level strength!!
This implied Ye Lan instantly possessed 200-meter-long, 5+ meter–wide Douluo–level AoE attack capability.
Of course, having Douluo–level force didn't mean the damage inflicted equaled that of an actual Douluo—after all, Douluos can use soul skills. Nevertheless, the Titan Divine Blue-Silver was terrifying.
A moment later, because Titan Divine Body inflicted 2% HP bleeding per second, the shared total life dropped to 10% and Titan Divine Body ended.
At the instant it terminated, twelve Titan Blue-Silvers and one Titan Divine Blue-Silver exploded simultaneously.
Countless golden grass fragments danced in the air, like a shower of golden rain.
Only then did Ye Lan realize another mechanism of Titan Divine Body: the bleeding damage caused during Titan Divine Body does not immediately apply to the life units.
Only when Titan Divine Body fully ends does the damage get settled based on the percentage of remaining life.
This mechanism again linked with Life Sharing. If Ye Lan hadn't had Life Sharing, he couldn't imagine the aftermath of settling 90% life damage—limbs and organs might all explode.
Thankfully, Ye Lan had Life Sharing, so he could transfer the calculated damage to the Blue-Silver Grass.
Otherwise Titan Divine Body would be, in some sense, a useless soul skill—if Tang San used it, one use would essentially ruin him.
When the 90% life-damage calculation occurs, if it doesn't kill Tang San outright, the subsequent bleeding and incapacitation would finish him off.
After testing Titan Divine Body and Titanize, Ye Lan began summarizing how to use the two skills moving forward. First, Titanize could definitely be used regularly, since the Soul Power consumption of Ten-Thousand–Year spirit skills is actually lower than that of Thousand-Year skills.
Many Ten-Thousand–Year soul skills are comparable to Ten-Thousand–Year ones; the biggest difference is often the soul power cost.
Ten-thousand–year skills consume very little; especially Titanize, which looks "trash" but actually consumes little soul power.
With Blue-Silver Sacrificials permanently in Titanize, the Titan Divine Body passive 50% power plus Titanize's Soul Emperor-level life granting 70% power sum to 120% Soul Emperor power—not Douluo-level, but high-tier Soul Emperor strength!
Later, the high-tier Soul Sage–level HP provided by Life Sharing could be shifted to Ye Lan's own body—or he could wait and transfer the shared life at the moment of activating Titan Divine Body.
After all, Ye Lan personally gaining Soul Sage power is more powerful than the Titan Blue-Silver gaining Douluo power.
The Titan Blue-Silver, already boosted by 120% power and then further boosted by a 90% power gain, would see its relative gain diluted.
More importantly, Ye Lan himself can use soul skills, whereas the Titan Divine Blue-Silver could only slam the ground.
Of course, in some scenarios the Titan Divine Blue-Silver is more suitable—for example, demolition work!
Also, next time before ending Titan Divine Body, Ye Lan must transfer the shared total life back to the Blue-Silver Grass, otherwise the 90% life-damage settlement would be catastrophic.
"Xiao Lan, are you okay!?" Silver Wolf asked anxiously as golden fragments rained down. He had feared something terrible happened to Ye Lan.
"I'm fine, Uncle Wolf. Such a perverse soul skill of course has a cost! Luckily I can use Life Sharing to shift the injury—so it's not a huge problem," Ye Lan replied.
At that moment Ye Lan thought of another way to operate Titan Divine Body.
That was: after Titan Divine Body detonated the Titan Blue-Silvers, Ye Lan could use soul power to recreate Blue-Silver Sacrificials, then immediately activate Life Sharing again.
After all, with the remaining ten percent life he'd still be effectively at full HP.
Of course, this trick could extend Titan Divine Body's time, but the trade-off would be heavy soul power consumption.
Even with Ye Lan's extremely pure soul power, he could only repeat this a few times.
"Indeed. This cost is worth paying—I can't think of any soul skill better than your Ten-Directional-Year Titan Ape soul-ring skill," Silver Wolf sighed admiringly.
He then ventured a bold guess: "Xiao Lan, could you be the illegitimate child of the Goddess of Fortune?!"
"I'm only realizing it now: your Blue-Silver Wuhun isn't just extreme at the fourth ring—your hundred-year and thousand-year rings are absurd too."
"First soul skill increases aptitude and makes the Blue-Silver Grass grow (written in the Soul Hall decree); the second skill enlarges it again; the third is the perverse Life Sharing; the current fourth is even more outrageous—perhaps this is as strong as a divine skill!"
"So if you're not the Goddess of Fortune's bastard, then who is?"
Ye Lan stroked his chin. In a way Uncle Wolf's guess wasn't wrong—if one could randomly get these four soul skills by luck, one would hit an astronomically small lottery probability.
"Maybe so…" Ye Lan scratched his head and didn't mention the goddess-of-fortune thing.
"Let's hurry back and let Little Xue and His Holiness the Pope see the ten-thousand–year soul bone and spirit ring! Even His Holiness wouldn't expect you to get a ten-thousand–year ring, right?" Silver Wolf said excitedly.
Then the two vanished into the Heaven Dou Great Forest.
Outside the forest, Tail-Whip Girl clutched her legs and slowly walked up the hillside; her trembling legs betrayed a deeply unsettled heart.
Suddenly, a black shadow fell over Xiao Wu.
She looked up and saw a massive bull head before her eyes.
At the sight of the Celadon Bull Python, Xiao Wu's tear ducts collapsed—she lunged toward the cyan python in a torrent of tears.
"Ming!! Da Ming!!! Wahhh!"
"Xiao Wu! Where did you go? Er Ming's been looking for you and you're gone!"
The Celadon Bull curled its tail around Xiao Wu, gently comforting her back.
When the Bull Python mentioned Er Ming, Xiao Wu's crying became uncontrollable; she clung to the python's tail and sobbed.
"Da Ming, Er Ming… Er Ming is dead! Wahhh!"
"What? Er Ming died?!!"
At once the Bull Python's wise eyes turned blood-red. If Xiao Wu hadn't been nearby, it would have exploded into a berserk rampage and destroyed everything around.
"Er Ming… Er Ming, he…" Xiao Wu faltered and could not finish.
