Chapter 176: Nine Rings All Red, Gold of Living Spirits

A Li watched from the side, clicking their tongue in amazement.

"You really can do that, huh? Why don't you look around for a soul beast that more easily drops an external soul bone on the feet; then you could assemble a full set of growth-type soul bones."

Yang Yun's vision went dark.

Where would a foot external soul bone even come from? I've never even heard of such a thing, let alone it dropping; I'm afraid even if you killed every soul beast in the world, you might not be able to get one to drop.

But now my soul bones are actually pretty badass; the head soul bone has an external eye soul bone that became a growth-type soul bone; the torso bone is the same, and now both arm soul bones have become growth-type soul bones.

Then isn't the next one the leg soul bones?

But reality is stark; whether this leg external soul bone exists is unknown, let alone getting two to drop.

The process of fusing soul bones isn't difficult; the abilities brought by these two external soul bones are quite simple.

Dark Gold Terror Claw and Heaven-Rending Claw; Heaven-Rending Claw is the soul bone skill from that ten-thousand-year piece.

Both soul bone skills are similar to Bear Lord's soul skill; perhaps the only difference is in power.

However, this difference in power would likely be quickly erased under Yang Yun's vast soul power nurturing.

Yang Yun looked at his hands; the Dark Gold Terror Claw extending from the back of his hands gave him a feeling like Wolverine's claws.

Soul power controlled a huge rock to fly before him; the Dark Gold Terror Claw easily pierced three holes in the stone before him, then swept across.

The huge rock was split into countless pieces.

There's no spare time to count how many pieces the stone split into when both hands slash it open at once.

"Ah! My mindset hasn't changed; these stones are just mundane objects—how sturdy can they be? If possible, going to Sea God Island to grab a couple of those deep sea submerged silver pillars would be a good way to test the power."

As for testing with his own martial soul Flame Spear Heavy Black, Yang Yun didn't want his newly acquired external soul bone to just break like that.

On A Li's hand also appeared two claw-shaped formations of reddish energy.

"From now on, cutting fruit won't need a knife; grilling meat you can just hand‑carve flower patterns—this is too convenient." A Li's words really left Yang Yun a bit speechless.

But A Li has been abstract like this for more than a day or two.

Sometimes being a bit abstract is actually quite fun.

Really, using external soul bones to cut fruit and carve flower patterns is a bit overkill.

"Don't mess around; let's try again tonight; it's time to go look for the remaining soul beasts."

One person and one instrument spirit just stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest for several months; upgrading soul rings isn't a small matter; Yang Yun wasn't in a particular hurry.

Besides, Yang Yun hadn't spent time with A Li in a while, so he simply treated it as a street‑touring vacation.

Within the sect, everything runs smoothly under the watch of Long Shu and Hu Shu, and Sha Shu handles external relations in an orderly, flawless manner.

If nothing unexpected happens, Yang Yun really can't think of anything that could cause a major upheaval in the sect.

For example, something like a meteor falling from the sky…? Red First Soul Skill – Penetration (Penetration power 500%, increases by 50% every ten levels),

Red Second Soul Skill – God of War Descent (Physical fitness and mental power increase 500%, increases by 70% every ten levels),

Red Third Soul Skill – Battle Intent (Battle intent stacks with combat time, each layer increases combat power by 80%; after activation, stacking starts from the fifteenth layer.) Yang Yun himself couldn't imagine that besides deities, any soul master on this continent could be his opponent.

Of course, the bursting Gu Yue Na doesn't count; this guy's own strength is already that of a demi‑god; if he bursts, how strong he becomes in a short time is anyone's guess.

With nine rings all at a hundred‑thousand‑year level, Yang Yun is confident that if he uses the Bursting Rings secret technique, even Gu Yue Na couldn't do anything to him.

What's more, all of his soul skills are percentage‑stacking status buffs; dragging the fight out a bit longer, what is Gu Yue Na even?

Yang Yun has made up his mind: first put off inheriting the God of Destruction's divine position; besides, he's not in a rush to finish it. Speaking of lifespan, he can already live a thousand years, so first develop Breaking Heaven Sect into the strongest force on this road, then talk about it.

Unify the continent—no delay.

Now still lacking a just cause, or rather a reason.

Put more clearly, it's just waiting for the Spirit Hall to make the first move; then I can rise in response and wipe out the two great empires and the Spirit Hall entirely.

For now, Breaking Heaven Sect continuing to accumulate strength is not a bad thing; with a sect's power, wanting to fully govern the entire continent's territory in a short time still requires some time.

Therefore, the longer the development time, the more advantageous it is for Yang Yun and Breaking Heaven Sect.

The world's hustle is all for profit; the world's turmoil is all for profit; Yang Yun won't do anything without benefit.

Just like now.

Yang Yun stood at the shore of the Lake of Life.

Mental detection.

Within his line of sight, not below the Lake of Life, but rather the extremely deep part beneath this lake is the Lake of Life.

Those lake waters outside are merely the Lake of Life diluted, having a bit of vitality.

Deeper down, Yang Yun found what he was looking for; some Living Spirit Gold.

Not much—just a few pieces the size of glass beads of Living Spirit Gold, but it is also a extremely precious rare item.

Inside a different space.

Di Tian watched as Yang Yun just picked up the Living Spirit Gold, feeling a pang of pain—knowing that Bi Ji wanted it but didn't dare to just take it herself.

This human scooped up a big handful and just took it away.

Gu Yue Na's voice rang in his ear: "Let him have it; these things are useless to me; if Bi Ji wants them, she can take her own."

"That person bears the aura of destruction; likely he is the inheritor of the Five Great God Kings of the God Realm's destruction; his strength is extremely great, and now facing him brings no benefit; if it draws the God Realm's scrutiny, it's even more a loss."

Di Tian could only endure all of this.

After Yang Yun put away the Living Spirit Gold, his eyebrows twitched lightly; his so‑reckless manner of collecting Living Spirit Gold inevitably hints at some ulterior motive.

If Di Tian were to appear, I would definitely be able to detect the location of this hidden different space within the space.

Unfortunately, my martial soul lacks spatial attributes, so I can't locate the other party; the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm also lacks a fix on that space.

Because the shed outer shell has been completely absorbed.

The mental power anchor set up was simply wiped out clean; Yang Yun guesses it was Gu Yue Na doing it offhand, or possibly Di Tian did it.

"Looks like I still need to wait until I master the spatial abilities of the Infinite Fire Realm before I can come over to hunt soul rings."

Yang Yun has long had his eye on the soul rings of those several culprits.

Especially Biji's Soul Ring, for Ye Lingling, who inherits the Goddess of Life, it's simply too suitable; one could say it's tailor-made, not an exaggeration.

However, Ditian and Guyue Na probably wouldn't so easily hand over Biji.

No wonder, Biji has cultivated to her present level relying on her kind nature and the extensive network she built by treating countless Soul Beasts.

It's somewhat difficult to think of attacking Biji's Soul Ring; unless it's a guaranteed one-hit kill.
