Douluo: I Achieve Supremacy with Life Blue Silver Grass

First Spirit Ability: Undying Rooting

Second Spirit Ability: Starlight Absorption

Sixth Spirit Ability: Parasitic Devour

After summoning his Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree Martial Soul, Ye Yu activated three of his core Spirit Abilities in rapid succession. Six Spirit Rings lit up around him—two purple, four black—each one surging with spiritual energy.

In the next instant, the massive tree spirit behind him burst into rapid growth.

Its roots dug deep into the soil, greedily absorbing nutrients and the power of the land, while its branches soared into the sky, drawing in sunlight and spawning countless crystal-blue vines—like azure serpents dancing wildly in the air—as they twisted toward their target: the Phoenix Perching Parasol Tree.

As a God-tier plant-type soul beast with over 70,000 years of cultivation, the Phoenix Perching Parasol Tree possessed a high degree of sentience.

Sensing the rich and pure life aura on Ye Yu—especially with Xiao Wu, a 100,000-year spirit beast in human form, by his side—it initially mistook Ye Yu for a fellow plant-type soul beast who had taken human form.

But when Ye Yu suddenly launched an attack using his Martial Soul, the Phoenix Perching Parasol Tree immediately realized his hostility and countered.

Fiery red leaves ignited into blazing flames, transforming into flying Fire Phoenixes, which soared through the air and collided with the incoming crystal-blue vines like fire clashing against ice. The collisions erupted into towering walls of flame.

However, while the Phoenix Perching Parasol Tree's flame-based counterattack was impressive, its primary affinity was life, with fire merely being a secondary attribute.

Because of this, its flame attacks lacked the purity and intensity of elemental fire and were completely ineffective against Ye Yu's Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree.

The moment the vines broke through the fiery storm, they began wrapping tightly around the Phoenix Perching Parasol Tree's trunk and branches. Under the effect of the Sixth Spirit Ability: Parasitic Devour, thick roots formed and bored straight into the tree's body—forcefully absorbing its life force and Spirit Power.

Thanks to his First and Second Abilities—Undying Rooting and Starlight Absorption—as well as Earth Pulse Connection (his Fourth Ability), Ye Yu could maintain the tree's existence while siphoning nearly all the stolen energy back into himself.

But this was merely the prelude.

The true killing blow wasn't the Martial Soul—it was the Demon Willow Fluff, his External Spirit Bone.

With the Phoenix Perching Parasol Tree fully immobilized and unable to fight back, Ye Yu calmly walked forward, three strands of Demon Willow Fluff materializing in his hand.

In the past, he had always crafted them one at a time and never bothered to test the production limit of the Mother Body—the core of the Demon Willow Fluff system.

But now, with plans to rely on the fluffs for long-term cultivation, Ye Yu had recently pushed the limit and learned something new.

The Mother Body could now produce fourteen Demon Willow Fluff strands.

After some deduction, Ye Yu concluded this was likely because his Spirit Power quality had reached the Titled Douluo level, causing the originally 90,000-year-old Spirit Bone to evolve—now bearing the might of a 140,000-year-old Spirit Bone.

And based on the system's mechanics:

For every 10,000 years of age, one Demon Willow Fluff could be created.

Hence, the current cap was 14.

Still, even with just three operational strands, Ye Yu was satisfied.

Why? Because although Demon Willow Fluff could purify and return absorbed energy—spirit power, life force, even bloodline essence—it wasn't without side effects.

After absorbing the Dark Devilgod Tiger's energy, Ye Yu had noticed a subtle weakening of his internal control—something his internal cultivation (Neidan) and mental discipline should have safeguarded.

The downside of rapid power gain: internal impurities.

Fortunately, he knew how to fix it.

Solution: More Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering.

So his current plan was to:

Hunt powerful soul beasts in Star Dou Forest.

Use Demon Willow Fluff to extract their energy.

Return home, absorb and refine the energy.

Temper his body with Heavenly Thunder to cleanse impurities.

Stepping up to the Phoenix Perch Parasol Tree, Ye Yu pressed three strands of Demon Willow Fluff against its trunk and activated the Parasitic Devour skill.

With a flash, the strands burrowed inside and began branching out like invasive roots—devouring Spirit Power, life force, and bloodline origin from within.

Due to Ye Yu's complete control via his Martial Soul, the tree was unable to resist or unleash a rebirth-through-flame counter. It was completely restrained.

Its once radiant crimson leaves gradually withered to pale yellow and fell, and its sturdy black-red trunk began to decay.

Within half a day, the three strands of Demon Willow Fluff had drained nearly all its essence. Only the roots buried deep underground still held a flicker of life.

Knowing full well that overharvesting kills ecosystems, Ye Yu stopped just short of killing the tree completely.

With the extraction complete, he withdrew the three strands and canceled his Martial Soul.

Now, the once-majestic Phoenix Perch Parasol Tree stood like a desiccated husk, its branches lifeless and bark crumbling. Only the roots remained viable.

Given time, and its innate rebirth ability, the tree would eventually regenerate...

But it might take decades or even centuries.

Ye Yu stored the three Demon Willow Fluff strands back into the Mother Root, letting it hold onto the absorbed energy for future refinement.

Absorbing it now—inside the dangerous Star Dou Forest and in the presence of the unpredictable Xiao Wu—was not an option.

After that, guided by Xiao Wu, Ye Yu ventured deeper into the inner forest and successfully located:

A Wind + Thunder-attribute soul beast:

Wind-Thunder Skyhawk, 80,000 years

A Darkness + Evil + Spirit-attribute soul beast:

Darknight Bat, 70,000 years

A Space + Darkness-attribute beast:

Devourer Demon Dragon, 70,000 years

All three were slain.

Their essence—Spirit Power, life force, and bloodline origin—was absorbed via Demon Willow Fluff and stored in the Mother Root for future use.

With his task complete, Ye Yu prepared to return to Soto City, bringing Xiao Wu with him.
