With the success of refining his first soul ring, Chen Yuan began working on his second soul ring. Compared to the first yellow soul ring, the second soul ring, which was already a thousand-year soul ring, proved to be much more challenging to refine.
However, it wasn't an insurmountable problem. After Chen Yuan poured his soul power into it, the second purple soul ring gradually transformed from a purely energy-based form into a solid entity. It melted into a liquid state and merged into the Seven Kill Sword, forming a purple pentagram.
In that instant, the aura of the Seven Kill Sword grew stronger, its sharpness more pronounced. A long, resonant hum echoed from the sword, as if it were rejoicing.
Next came the third soul ring, a 5,000-year soul ring, followed by the fourth, an 18,000-year soul ring, and then the fifth, a 50,000-year soul ring. Finally, the sixth soul ring, an 85,000-year soul ring...
After integrating six soul rings, the Seven Kill Sword now possessed the cultivation equivalent of 160,000 years. Its terrifying aura stirred up a vortex in the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Spring, creating a vacuum zone amidst the swirling sword energy.
Chen Yuan wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead. Refining the sixth soul ring had taken considerable effort. Now, he turned his attention to the seventh soul ring.
His gaze grew more determined as he placed his hands on the seventh soul ring. Channeling his soul power, he began to infuse the ring with energy, relying on the full support of his three soul cores to gradually illuminate it.
The blood-red patterns on the soul ring radiated an overwhelming, cold, and evil aura, resisting Chen Yuan's efforts. If he couldn't suppress the soul ring, refining it would be impossible. So, Chen Yuan pushed himself to the limit. The Evil God Pearl's dark light flared brightly, devouring the surrounding ice and fire energy, while the Dragon Pearl provided additional support. Though its devouring power wasn't as strong as the Evil God Pearl's, it still offered significant assistance. With these two soul cores ensuring a steady supply of energy, Chen Yuan's life-bound soul core could maintain a stable output.
The resistance from the seventh soul ring put immense pressure on Chen Yuan. Unlike the previous six soul rings, this was a genuine 100,000-year soul ring, with a cultivation level of at least 400,000 years. Its resistance was exceptionally fierce.
Chen Yuan refused to let his efforts go to waste. "I absorbed you back then, and now I'll refine you. Merge into my martial soul!"
As Chen Yuan persisted, the soul ring finally transformed from energy into a solid form amidst a blinding crimson light. It melted into a pool of red liquid energy, which then merged into the Seven Kill Sword, forming a blood-red pentagram.
Boom!
In that moment, the Seven Kill Sword radiated an overwhelming, ferocious aura, as if a 560,000-year fierce beast had come to life before Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan gazed at the Seven Kill Sword with fiery eyes. On the blade, seven pentagrams shone, corresponding to his soul rings: one yellow, two purple, two black, one black with a hint of red, and one pure red. On the sword's guard, one side bore the blood bat pattern, while the other displayed a yin-yang taiji symbol, representing his Slaughter God Domain and Seven Kill Domain.
Chen Yuan now felt that with the dual domains and the 560,000-year cultivation of the Seven Kill Sword, he possessed power comparable to a Super Douluo.
As for Chen Yuan himself, with three soul cores and four soul bones—Mirror Image Skull, Wind and Thunder Wings, Blood Demon Left Leg Bone, and Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone—he was confident that even his teacher, Chen Xin, might not be his match in a sword fight.
In simple terms, Chen Yuan felt he had the power to obliterate an ordinary Titled Douluo with a single strike. Only a Super Douluo would be a worthy opponent.
Chen Yuan gripped the Seven Kill Sword and gave it a light swing. A wave of sword energy swept out, momentarily splitting the spring water and creating a vacuum zone. It took a while for the water to flow back and fill the gap.
"Good, good, good..." Chen Yuan was extremely satisfied with the power. "Time to head out."
He retracted his martial soul and swam toward the surface. Moving swiftly, he soon emerged from the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Spring.

At the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Spring, Chen Yuan, who had just emerged from the spring, was putting on his clothes. In front of him, Dugu Yan, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing watched without hesitation, while Ye Lingling shyly turned her head away.
Dugu Yan, having seen Chen Yuan enter and exit the spring multiple times, wasn't worried. She smiled and said, "I told you he'd be fine. Although the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Spring is the source of extreme heat and cold, Chen Yuan has consumed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Passionflower. For him, entering the spring is like going home."
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing breathed sighs of relief. This was their first time at the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Spring, so their concern was understandable.
Chen Yuan glanced at them and smiled. "Don't worry about me. Instead, are you all prepared? If so, Yan Yan, could you help them pick the immortal herbs? Rongrong needs the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, and Zhuqing needs the Chrysanthemum of Heavenly Insight."
"The Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid complements the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. It's a neutral immortal herb that can greatly enhance soul power. The Chrysanthemum of Heavenly Insight complements the Water Fairy Jade Muscle Bone. Both herbs have similar properties—one strengthens the meridians and bones, while the other enhances the limbs, forging an indestructible body. One focuses on the internal, the other on the external. They're a perfect match."
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing couldn't hide their excitement. Having consumed immortal herbs before, they knew their immense benefits.
Dugu Yan's eyes sparkled as she smiled and said, "Chen Yuan is right. The properties of the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid and the Chrysanthemum of Heavenly Insight are exactly as he described. It seems he's put a lot of thought into this. Rongrong, Zhuqing, come with me. Let's go pick the herbs."
With that, Dugu Yan took Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing by the hand and led them away.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing knew that these immortal herbs technically belonged to Dugu Yan, so they thanked her in unison, "Thank you, Sister Yan Yan!"
Dugu Yan chuckled and joked, "We're sisters who've shared the same bed. Even if we're not blood-related, we're closer than sisters. No need to be so formal."
Once the three of them were out of earshot, Chen Yuan, now fully dressed, walked over to Ye Lingling and said, "Lingling, you should focus on your training too. Break through to the 50th rank as soon as possible so you can use the Blue Silver Emperor as your fifth soul ring. It's both an immortal herb and a soul beast, rich in life energy, making it the perfect match for you."
Ye Lingling turned to look at Chen Yuan. His tall, well-built figure, handsome face, and slightly disheveled hair gave him a carefree, roguish charm that made her blush and lower her head. She whispered, "Thank you."
Chen Yuan smirked and said meaningfully, "No need to be so reserved. Besides, it's not like I don't have ulterior motives."
Ye Lingling's heart skipped a beat. She knew exactly what Chen Yuan was implying, and while she wasn't entirely opposed, she couldn't help but feel a little shy...
