Chương 15: Chapter 15: Ah Yin: Oh no, I've been exposed as a Soul Beast!
"Why have you changed so much all of a sudden? You've been so rough that it hurts. Can't you be a little gentler?"
Truthfully, Zhou Yi didn't need her to say it. He had already noticed the significant changes in his body.
It was no wonder Lao Ai could secure his place in history—his legendary prowess wasn't an exaggeration. The man truly lived up to his reputation.
Once they returned, Zhou Yi was even more confident that he could convince Liu Erlong, that ferocious dragon, to come around!
As he tenderly stroked Ah Yin's silky skin, Zhou Yi chuckled softly. "Doesn't Ah Yin like it?"
"Hmph," Ah Yin snorted, shyly turning her head away to ignore him.
"But it's all your fault for being so stunning, Ah Yin. I just can't control myself around you."
Zhou Yi's earnest gaze met hers as the faint moonlight spilled over Ah Yin's form, her jade-like skin glowing in the soft light, rendering her breathtakingly beautiful.
"Smooth talker!"
Ah Yin leaned into Zhou Yi's embrace, her heart filled with sweetness and happiness.
Yet as thoughts of her identity as a Soul Beast surfaced, the radiance in her eyes dimmed once more.
Zhou Yi noticed her sudden gloom and immediately guessed her thoughts. Gently cupping her face, he looked deeply into her eyes.
"I know your secret."
"You're a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, the Blue Silver Empress in human form!"
Boom!
Ah Yin's body trembled as if struck by lightning. Her complexion turned deathly pale, her mind buzzing. Everything seemed to spin around her.
In that instant, she felt as if she'd fallen from the blissful heavens straight into the torment of the eighteenth level of hell.
He knows.
Zhou Yi had discovered that she was a Soul Beast!
Ah Yin instinctively wanted to flee, but her body refused to move.
She stared blankly at Zhou Yi, her enchanting eyes welling up with tears. In a trembling voice, she asked, "Do you plan to kill me for my Soul Ring and Soul Bone?"
"Foolish girl."
Zhou Yi reached out, his thumb gently wiping away the tears at the corner of her eye. He smiled warmly.
"If I wanted to kill you, would I tell you first? When you were sleeping so soundly earlier, I could've done it then!"
Ah Yin nodded slightly. She thought back to how deeply she'd slept before and blushed as the memory surfaced—it was because of Zhou Yi…
Her pale face was quickly painted with a rosy hue.
"Then… are you going to cast me away?"
If Zhou Yi didn't plan to harm her but had still exposed her identity, he might no longer want her.
"How could I even think of sending you away when I can't cherish you enough?"
Zhou Yi held Ah Yin's soft, slender hand, pulling out the Eternal Heart ring and slipping it onto her finger with care.
"This is a ring. You can think of it as a special Soul Tool. It can conceal your aura so completely that not even deities would detect that you're a Soul Beast. It also contains an immense storage space."
Ah Yin's eyes sparkled as she gazed at the ring.
She could sense its extraordinary nature—its internal space was vast enough to house a small mountain over a hundred meters tall. The concept was beyond her imagination.
For such a treasure, one capable of masking her aura, its worth was self-evident.
Ah Yin had no doubts about Zhou Yi's words.
Words could lie, but actions could not.
She could feel his devotion to her.
"This is too precious!"
Ah Yin's slender fingers traced the diamond on the Eternal Heart. A Soul Tool of such caliber, capable of hiding her presence and offering such immense storage, was essentially a divine artifact.
It was priceless.
"Do you know what a ring symbolizes?"
Zhou Yi held Ah Yin's soft, delicate hand firmly, preventing her from removing the ring.
"What does it symbolize?"
Ah Yin tilted her head, confused.
"It means that no one else can lay claim to you."
Zhou Yi's gaze locked onto her beautiful eyes. "You're entirely mine. Compared to that, what is a mere ring worth?"
"Zhou Yi, you're so kind!"
Tears welled up in Ah Yin's eyes as she was overcome with emotion.
She didn't know how to express her gratitude.
Feeling Zhou Yi's boundless passion for her, she could only respond with her utmost sincerity.
Now that her identity had been revealed, there was no need to hide anymore.
Ah Yin let go of all her reservations, unleashing herself entirely—like a wild horse freed from its reins.
Zhou Yi finally experienced the true might of the Blue Silver Empress.
She was indeed a hundred-thousand-year plant-type Soul Beast, a paragon of vitality and resilience.
Blue Silver Bind.
Blue Silver Coil.
Even in an environment that wasn't her domain, Ah Yin's prowess was astonishing.
If they were in the wild, her abilities would have been terrifying.
Her ultimate domain skill, Ocean's Embrace, allowed her to draw on the life force of all Blue Silver Grass in the vicinity, transforming it into energy for her Blue Silver Emperor form.
With Blue Silver Grass present, her energy would never deplete.
This energy could be converted into vitality, Soul Power, or even mental energy.
The ultimate domain effect made her nearly invincible in the forest when battling opponents of the same level.
In Zhou Yi's mind, only one thought remained:
"So Zhou Lang is not truly invincible—there exists the Blue Silver Empress!"
The next day.
The sun had risen high when Zhou Yi finally awoke, only to find Ah Yin supporting her delicate face with her jade-like hand. Her crystalline eyes gazed at him with infatuation.
When their eyes met, Ah Yin's cheeks flushed. She quickly averted her gaze, too shy to look at him.
Smack!
Zhou Yi kissed her on her radiant face before getting up to wash under Ah Yin's attentive care.
This time, Zhou Yi behaved himself—mostly because Ah Yin had been too fierce.
Rubbing his sore waist, Zhou Yi couldn't help but smile when he saw the experience points on his attribute panel. It had already reached 2,500!
Zhou Yi thought for a moment and allocated 1,000 experience points each to One Sword to Part the World and Heavenly Palace Mirage.
[Note: Changing 'A Sword Across Time' to 'One Sword to Part the World'.]
The next moment, Zhou Yi's consciousness transcended time and space, merging with a young man who practiced swordsmanship day and night.
Day after day, he trained relentlessly.
Boom!
One day, a devastating sword aura erupted, splitting the earth and revealing a terrifying fissure.
One Sword to Part the World had reached the introductory stage.
However, Zhou Yi's consciousness didn't stop there. It shifted again, fusing with another man wearing an icy mask, comprehending the creation of the Heavenly Palace Mirage...
The Heavenly Palace Mirage was an extraordinary soul technique, capable of using spiritual power to ensnare a person's mind. It conjured a false world in their heart—a paradise so divine it surpassed the limits of imagination.
This illusory world was built upon the target's deepest fantasies, refined and elevated to a level that transcended their desires. It became the very embodiment of their dreamland, yet so breathtakingly perfect that even their dreams could not fathom its beauty.
This was an incredibly terrifying soul-attack secret art.
It was also why Zhou Yi had chosen to cultivate it first among so many techniques at his disposal.
One Sword to Part the World epitomized unmatched offensive power.
In contrast, the Heavenly Palace Mirage was a soul-attack technique capable of manipulating the mind, often enabling Zhou Yi to accomplish what could not be done overtly.
After successfully entering the beginner stage of the Heavenly Palace Mirage, Zhou Yi felt his soul power had grown slightly stronger.
More importantly, the synergy between the two techniques was extraordinary.
First, the Heavenly Palace Mirage would confound the target's mind, ensnaring them in an illusory paradise. Then, with One Sword to Part the World, Zhou Yi would strike.
This devastating combination could ensure that even a Titled Douluo wouldn't have the chance to retaliate before being annihilated.
