Chapter 75

Yang Yun's fire dragon wing gave a single flap, and Alil flew at his side.

The greatest effect of my second soul skill is not merely that it devours soul rings to increase their age; its greater effect is that I no longer need to fear divine power.

After the soul ring's age exceeds 100,000 years, the Fallen Heart Flame can fully refine the Slaughter God Domain previously within my body; perhaps the Fallen Heart Flame discovered something, so after I obtained my first soul ring, it surrounded it.

According to conspiracy theory speculation, I estimate that the Asura God has now begun to interfere with the Douluo Continent through his status and means as a god king;

The Slaughter God Domain remains in my body, or rather the Asura God's power stays within, which is harmful and useless.

Not long after, Yang Yun and Alil's bodies stopped simultaneously; below was a dense forest of jagged rocks.

"The double-headed saber-toothed tiger, its age is around fifty-eight thousand years."

"Eighth soul skill—Gravity God Spear·Throw."

The two divine spears falling from the sky directly pierced the double-headed saber-toothed tiger's skull, and Yang Yun and Alil floated down lightly to the ground.

The Dark Evil God Tiger's second soul ring slowly rose, absorbing the energy from the black soul ring on the double-headed saber-toothed tiger's corpse; with the Devouring Soul Skill bonus, Alil's speed of absorbing energy greatly increased.

In less than the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, the black outer layer of the soul ring peeled off.

The second soul ring transformed into a 100,000-year soul ring, but the soul skill remained just one—Devour; however, the devouring strength was greatly increased.

The most direct manifestation is that the Fallen Heart Flame is about to act against the Slaughter God Domain!

Yang Yun sat cross-legged, looking inward into his sea of consciousness; the Fallen Heart Flame enveloped the Slaughter God Domain and refined it into a mass of energy.

It contained an inexplicable pressure from Yang Yun, perhaps what is called divine power; an energy one level higher than soul power.

Two wisps of breath were absorbed by the soul crystal, and soon Yang Yun discovered that the central part of the soul crystal underwent an indescribable change; the intuitive feeling was that it became stronger.

Once the soul crystal fully transforms into the central energy level, his own soul power can be converted into a higher-grade divine power.

After the Slaughter God Domain was refined, Yang Yun could clearly sense that a strand of mental power within it had been burned away completely; the next second, heaven and earth seemed to be torn open by a rift.

A sphere bearing an inexplicable halo slowly fell down.

"Divine-bestowed soul ring? I fuck? Can it even be played like this?"

Yang Yun stared in disbelief at the divine-bestowed soul ring before him, feeling utterly incredulous, but Alil quickly gave an answer.

Alil also pondered and said: "From the actions of your second martial soul, it seems the Asura God's power refined from the Slaughter God Domain functions similarly to divine power; absorbing a wisp of breath is to let your soul power transform."

"Even if you refined the rest, it wouldn't be of much use, but using this mass of divine power to condense a divine-bestowed soul ring via the Douluo Continent's rules maximizes the benefit."

"You can think of the Douluo Continent's rules as a vending machine; the divine-bestowed soul ring is cola; only by inputting divine power can you buy cola, and divine power itself lacks the ability to dispense cola."

Yang Yun slowly nodded and summarized: "Gods don't hold divine-bestowed soul rings, but they can use divine power to let the Douluo Continent's rules produce divine-bestowed soul rings below; I understand."

"First, raise the age limits of all soul rings of the first martial soul to 100,000 years to remove the soul ring numerical limits; then absorb this divine-bestowed soul ring, so as to maximally absorb the limit of soul rings."

Just as Alil turned to leave, Yang Yun's steps suddenly halted; the Flame Spear Heavy Black pierced into and sliced open the belly of the double-headed saber-toothed tiger.

"Soul bone, and there are three double-headed saber-toothed tiger cubs." Yang Yun gazed at the scene before him, his mind somewhat shaken.

The Flame Spear Heavy Black extended and lifted the soul bone; the Fallen Heart Flame burned dry the mucus on it and stored it in the soul tool. These three cubs have not yet opened their eyes; whether they can survive depends on their own fate; we cannot engage in exhausting the pond.

If these three cubs happen to have talent, they might later become ten-thousand-year spirit beasts; that would also be a priceless ten-thousand-year soul ring.

In the blink of an eye, half a day passed.

Besides upgrading the soul skill, the external soul bone's enhancement also greatly increased the range of vision.

Ten thousand meters doubled, so everything within twenty thousand meters is visible; this also reduces the difficulty for Yang Yun to search for spirit beasts.

In half a day's time, the soul skill underwent a great change.

Purple, purple, black, red, red, red, red, red, red; two purples, one black, six reds—nine soul rings.

The abundant soul ring energy also allowed Yang Yun to condense a third soul crystal; the Fallen Heart Flame's first soul skill, Ten Beasts Spirits, can condense beast spirits and add a tiger spirit; formally, the tiger-head mask of the Dark Evil God Tiger.

Soul power rose to rank 98, peak Douluo.

Part of the soul skill's numerical limits were lifted, and the overall soul skill underwent a great change.

Purple·First soul skill—Penetrate (penetration power increased by 100%, increased by 10% every ten levels),

Purple·Second soul skill—War God Descent (physical quality and mental power increased by 100%, increased by 30% every ten levels),

Black·Third soul skill—Battle Intent (battle intent stacks with combat time, each layer increases combat power by 30%; after activation, stacking starts from the fifth layer.),

Red·Fourth soul skill—Pierce the Heavens (flash strike, ignores soul power defense, and after killing a single life unit, speed and power increase by 10%; can be stacked!),

Flame Spear Meteor Slaughter Array (speed increased tenfold, duration fifteen seconds; during this period 'Pierce the Heavens' has no cooldown and can be used continuously at high frequency.) Red·Fifth soul skill—Thousand Jun (power increased by 500%, increased by 50% every ten levels; can be continuously stacked with the second soul ring.) Immortal Earth·Passive: the whole body is as one with the Immortal Earth, each muscle can exert the body's full 500% power; overall quality increased by 300%.

(This passive does not change base strength, nor does it stack with the second soul skill's physical condition.) Red·Sixth soul skill—God Spear Prison (a dual soul skill; within a ten-thousand-meter radius, Flame Spear Heavy Black thrusts from the ground into the air; when the spear tip pierces out, gravity within the radius increases 100-fold and penetration increases 10-fold; when the airborne Flame Spear Heavy Black falls, it releases 100-fold gravity, which together with the second round's airborne Flame Spear Heavy Black 100-fold gravity creates a squeezing compression to complete the strangling; can be stacked with the eighth soul skill's gravity.) Red·Seventh soul skill—Martial Soul True Form;

Radiant Spear Spirit: (the stronger the spear intent, the harder the target is to break free of its lock; all soul skills will definitely hit the target locked by the spear spirit, ignoring space, physics, and soul power defense.) Red·Eighth soul skill—Gravity God Spear (centered on Flame Spear Heavy Black, controllable gravity within several kilometers; in battle, can freely increase the martial soul's weight.) Throw (the thrown Flame Spear Heavy Black has speed increased tenfold, penetration increased tenfold, weight increased tenfold, and its own weight increased tenfold.) Red·Ninth soul skill—Demonic Whale Soul-Splitting Axe (condenses all bodily power into one point, integrating attack, penetration, and soul-breaking; as thin as a cicada's wing, the strongest single-target attack.) Demonic Fang Shatter (a wide-area group attack of soul-breaking shards.) Before the soul ring breaks through 100,000 years, there are certain numerical limits.

All soul skills of the first martial soul underwent a tremendous change; Yang Yun looked quite satisfied at the nine soul rings undulating on his body.

Soul power rose to rank ninety-eight; Qian Daoliu before him was just a lump; he felt no fear toward the opponent, not even when using divine power.

The eye soul bone and the external soul bone Fire Dragon Wing+trunk bone were also greatly enhanced by the massive soul power's scouring.

However, the Fire Dragon Wing+trunk bone obviously increased more when the Fallen Heart Flame added soul rings.

The external eye soul bone merely recovered considerably, but the Transform Vision soul skill changed little; perhaps later, with the nourishment of soul power and the forging of the Fallen Heart Flame, it could recover more quickly.

Yang Yun retracted his martial soul Flame Spear Heavy Black, and that incredible, terrifying soul ring configuration on him also vanished; afterward, Yang Yun seemed to melt into his surroundings.

It carried quite an air of returning to simplicity and truth.

Alil leapt forward and pounced onto Yang Yun's back, a pair of lotus-root arms locking his neck as she whispered in his ear: 'Carry me back flying.'
