Chapter 233: True Thousand Hands Manifested—Off to Slaughter City!
Because of Ye Yu's Eighth Spirit Ring's second Spirit Ability, True Thousand Hands,
the summoned Blue Silver Giant had already begun to resemble the embryonic form of the True Thousand Hands.
What remained was a series of refinements—
to give it a compassionate expression, and to form ring after ring of radiating arms behind it,
like a blooming lotus, evoking the image of a Thousand-Hand Buddha.
Due to Ye Yu's continuous compression of Spirit Power, the formation of his Spirit Core,
and his extremely powerful Spiritual Power,
his control over Spirit Power had become exceptional.
It took him less than three months
to complete the refinement of his Eighth Spirit Ability—True Thousand Hands—
allowing the Blue Silver Giant he summoned to perfectly match the ideal form of the true Thousand-Hand Buddha.
Unlike the traditional Thousand-Hand Buddha image,
Ye Yu's version resembled himself—his own features on a compassionate face, fingers forming the "flower pinching" gesture.
Its body was like a sculpture of blue crystal, dazzling and translucent,
internally glowing with twinkling starlight, crescent moons, and miniature suns.
Golden patterns, fiery red phoenix markings, ice-blue motifs, and lightning-like purple streaks wrapped around its body,
giving it a sacred and majestic presence.
That day, outside Heaven Dou Imperial City,
deep within the continuous forest near a towering mountain—
Ye Yu floated mid-air, standing above the canopy.
Behind him, the Blue Silver Jade Tree Martial Soul had already been summoned,
as if rooted in the sky.
Two purple, four black, and two red Spirit Rings revolved rhythmically around him.
"Seventh Spirit Ability: Blue Silver Jade Tree True Body!"
"Eighth Spirit Ability: True Thousand Hands!"
With a flash in his eyes and a loud shout,
the seventh and eighth rings lit up simultaneously.
A powerful surge of Spirit Power erupted behind Ye Yu,
its blinding blue-silver brilliance illuminating half the sky.
First, the Blue Silver Jade Tree Martial Soul,
which had grown to over four meters in diameter after breaking through to Spirit Douluo,
began to expand rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, it became a towering tree with a trunk over forty meters wide,
rising over two thousand meters tall, like a divine tree propping up the cosmos.
Then, a giant Blue Silver Buddha statue, over a thousand zhang (approx. 3,333 meters) tall, appeared—
its entire body resembling translucent blue crystal.
Its expression mirrored Ye Yu's, though imbued with serene compassion,
its hands forming the sacred flower-holding gesture.
Behind it, concentric circles of arms fanned outward—countless and densely packed,
numbering well over a thousand.
Although this wasn't Ye Yu's first time activating True Thousand Hands using the True Body of the Blue Silver Jade Tree,
he had once thought the summoned Buddha statue would scale proportionally,
like his Martial Soul True Body—ten times the size of its base form.
Unfortunately, after extensive testing, Ye Yu discovered this was not the case.
Even under Martial Soul True Body, the True Thousand Hands only gained a fourfold increase in scale,
not tenfold.
Even so, the power was still overwhelming.
"True Thousand Hands: Top Transformed Buddha!"
After summoning the Thousand-Hand Blue Silver Buddha,
Ye Yu shouted once more, initiating the second stage of True Thousand Hands—its attack phase.
The massive Buddha—taller than the mountains—
suddenly clenched all its rear hands into fists.
With a thunderous motion, thousands of gigantic blue-silver fists shot forth at sonic speeds.
Only shimmering afterimages remained in the air.
Each titanic punch smashed into the mountain before it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of ear-splitting explosions followed.
The towering mountain's entire upper half was blasted apart,
rocks flying like a storm of meteors in every direction.
The ground in the nearby forest was gouged out by the shockwave,
leaving behind a massive crater—evidence of the unthinkable force
contained in the full onslaught of over a thousand fists.
Seeing the destructive might of True Thousand Hands,
Ye Yu's silver-blue hair flowed wildly in the wind,
and a satisfied smile slowly emerged on his handsome face.
He once had to avoid direct confrontation with Di Tian,
but now—with his self-generated Eighth Spirit Ring,
and Advent of a World of Flowering Trees for crowd control paired with True Thousand Hands for offense—
he could beat Di Tian down from a Black Dragon into a pile of black mush.
Even with the Dragon God's Claw,
Di Tian would never be able to tear through Advent of a World of Flowering Trees and True Thousand Hands simultaneously.
And if he couldn't—
by the time he launched Dragon God's Claw,
Ye Yu's fists would've already flattened him!
Still, despite his rising confidence, Ye Yu forced himself to calm down.
Yes, with the self-generated Eighth Spirit Ring,
he now had the power to kill Di Tian.
But it still wasn't 100% safe.
His True Thousand Hands was still pure physical damage.
If Di Tian had a Spirit Ability that negated or reduced physical damage,
it might allow him to survive.
Worse yet—if Di Tian fell, he might provoke Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King.
She was rumored to have space manipulation abilities—
one distortion, like phasing or teleportation,
could likely negate the physical onslaught of True Thousand Hands.
So, Ye Yu chose caution.
Instead of rushing into a risky revenge attempt,
he decided to further refine his True Thousand Hands.
If he could imbue its fists with lightning power,
or better—have each of the Buddha's arms cast his original ability,
Thunder-Magnetic Body, to generate magnetic fields and apply electromagnetic propulsion...
Then the destructive force would soar even higher!
All the while, Ye Yu hadn't slacked off on his regular training.
Three more months of Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering
had significantly improved his physique.
He had fully purged all residual impurities
from the refined Spirit Power, life force, and bloodline essence
provided by the external Spirit Bone, Demon Willow Fluff,
drawn from soul beasts like the Sun Fusang Tree and Phantom Star Dragon.
Now, it was time to hunt more ten-thousand-year soul beasts.
Let Demon Willow Fluff absorb their power and fuel his cultivation.
However, because of Di Tian's previous intervention,
Ye Yu knew his actions in Star Dou Forest had likely been exposed—
especially his slaughter of powerful dragon-type soul beasts in the forest's core.
Returning there would be too risky—Di Tian might appear again.
So, it was better to change hunting grounds.
Beyond Star Dou Forest, he considered the Boundless Sea or the Extreme North.
But compared to those...
He had an even better target in mind:
Slaughter City!
