Chapter 173

Silver Dragon King making a move, Yang Yun had anticipated; to the Silver Dragon King, Di Tian is like his left and right hand; if Yang Yun really were to slay him, that is something the Silver Dragon King absolutely does not want to see.

It is also absolutely unacceptable.

This is also why Yang Yun did not continue the pursuit.

It's not a matter of being lenient; Yang Yun's strength hasn't yet reached its peak—leaving aside other things, even the soul rings of his first martial soul haven't been upgraded to all-red.

This really lacks any sense of security.

At least before the God of Destruction's position completes its inheritance, all the soul rings of Yang Yun's first martial soul, the Flame Spear Re-Li martial soul, must reach Million-Year Level; only then does it barely meet the qualified standard to contend with the divine realm.

If Yang Yun were to confront the Silver Dragon King like this, the divine realm would certainly have someone intervene in the next term; then it would be reasonable and lawful for the Asura God to send someone down in the next term.

With all those god-kings and deities of the divine realm coming down to stir up trouble, how can my Broken Heaven Sect possibly develop?

Killing the descended divine officials? The Broken Heaven Sect currently lacks the capital to oppose the entire divine realm; doing so would be a stupid act of self-destruction.

If we covertly kill the divine officials, other deities might not notice; but the God of Destruction will certainly know.

If I absorb the God of Destruction's divine power, I could also avoid the God of Destruction discovering this issue, but losing the God of Destruction's position doesn't matter.

If we alienate the five great god-kings of the divine realm besides the Asura God, and also add a God of Destruction and a Life Goddess, then we truly have done a huge foolish act.

Pants-pants delivering teammates to the Asura God.

Yang Yun thought for a moment; at the very least, he needed to ensure Ye Lingling completed the Life Goddess's Nine Trials of Life before he could mobilize the God of Destruction's divine power.

The foundation is more important.

Once Ye Lingling becomes a god-king, Yang Yun can be certain that his own people are in the divine realm's council; then, using the Falling Heart Flame to boost the power of subordinate gods, or letting members of the Broken Heaven Sect inherit god-positions, are both good options.

No longer appearing so passive.

Now it's like playing a game where raising level increases power; the pros and cons are obvious, but if the level goes up, power and influence can't keep up.

Deities must not affect the next term, so Yang Yun can only resort to this strategy; at least before a few members of the Broken Heaven Sect become gods, he cannot leave the sect.

As for bringing the entire plane along to ascend together, Yang Yun couldn't be bothered with such a thankless, labor-intensive task.

This world's potential is too weak; it would be better to find a middle-thousand world to slowly develop in, which would be faster and more stable.

I've never seen a top expert in any fantasy world who can't even handle a black hole; even the old anime Super Beast Armament measures strength with black holes and white holes.

One can imagine how low the potential of this Douluo world is.

Ah Li clapped her hands and sat on the Broken Soul Spear that Yang Yun was carrying, her little legs swinging idly.

Yang Yun retracted his martial soul true form; the Silver Dragon King endured this dumb loss, but Yang Yun did not give up on the murderous soul ring here.

When his strength reaches a sufficient level, he will come back to find the Silver Dragon King.

Using the Falling Heart Flame carries a risk as high as twenty percent, which is still too risky; such a big risk cannot be taken lightly.

What's the difference between an eighty percent success rate and courting death? Mental detection.

Within an eighty-thousand-li radius, the environment was fully in view; almost instantly Yang Yun locked onto the soul beast he wanted to find.

Seven or eight thousand-year-old Darkgold Fearclaw Bears. Although they are only a thousand years old, Darkgold Fearclaw Bears are top-tier soul beasts capable of provoking ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts even at a hundred years.

Really, this setting is still overly heaven-defying.

Later on, it coolly eats the setting.

There are also several ten-thousand-year-old Darkgold Fearclaw Bears; the Star Dou Great Forest's range is vast, but the birth rate of this top-tier soul beast, the Darkgold Fearclaw Bear, is somewhat low.

If we massively hunt them, it would probably be somewhat difficult to continue improving later.

But this matter naturally has the bear king worrying about his own tribe; I just need to think of some effort here—directly hunting them is fine.

When the tribe has fewer Darkgold Fearclaw Bears, they will naturally restrict the tribe's actions to increase reproduction.

Fourth soul skill—Pierce Heaven.

With one spear, he pierced the brain of a thousand-year-old Darkgold Fearclaw Bear; under this strike, almost no soul beast could continue to survive.

Ah Li jumped from the side onto the Darkgold Fearclaw Bear's corpse; the Flame Spear Re-Li in hand scraped a few times on the corpse, letting out a cry.

Immediately after, the spear lifted a piece of gold-colored haloed bone, which flew out from the Darkgold Fearclaw Bear's body and was exposed in the air.

"Darkgold Fearclaw external soul bone? Doesn't this only appear after the soul rings are fully absorbed? Damn, everyday eating the setting." Yang Yun could no longer complain.

However, this external soul bone seems like I already have quite a few external soul bones on my body; should I continue absorbing it? At this moment.

The voice of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm echoed in his mind: "Boss, I can help you fuse this external soul bone with your arm bone; because your arm bone is extremely complete, possessing upper arm, lower arm, and solely a whole arm soul bone, so it can fuse with this claw external soul bone."

"I just don't know, Boss, which side you want to install it on."

Yang Yun raised his eyebrows and said: "Not installing it for now!"

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm froze, a bit puzzled, asking: "Boss, why not install it? External soul bones can evolve with one's cultivation; they are extremely precious soul bones. Wouldn't it be good to absorb the external soul bone and then have the energy of those soul rings wash over and boost it?"

Ah Li stared blankly at Yang Yun and said: "What this little Heavenly Dream says actually makes sense; are you planning to burst out another external soul bone first and then absorb it?"

Yang Yun nodded.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, not realizing he had accidentally pointed out something Yang Yun hadn't considered, quickly added: "Indeed, Boss, your deep foresight and far-sightedness; absorbing two external soul bones of the same kind together might produce different effects. It seems I was too naive and inexperienced; Boss, you're mighty."

"But Boss, external soul bones aren't they very precious and hard to burst forth? How can you be sure another Darkgold Fearclaw external soul bone will burst forth? Could you explain it to me, little Heavenly Dream?"

Yang Yun gave a light cough, and with Ah Li's smug expression, said: "The probability of a Darkgold Fearclaw Bear bursting forth an external soul bone is several times that of other soul beasts; compared to ordinary hard-to-burst external soul bones, or even soul bones, the Darkgold Fearclaw Bear's burst rate can be considered high-yield."

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm suddenly realized and exclaimed, shouting that he had been taught.

Yang Yun also put away this Darkgold Fearclaw external soul bone; he didn't lack that bit of energy from those few-thousand-year soul rings.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's million-year-limit energy still hasn't been fully digested in his body; if it weren't for his strong physique and sufficiently powerful mental power, he'd probably have to, like Huo Yuhao, place several seals to lock away the energy.

This Darkgold Fearclaw Bear is only the fifth one; there are still more than ten Darkgold Fearclaw Bears waiting for Yang Yun to burst; getting another external soul bone shouldn't be hard, right?

If it doesn't burst forth, I'll just go kill the bear king; damn, so disrespectful.
