Chapter 60: Finally Took the Bait

"Bang!"

A bulging mass on Ye Ming's right leg exploded with a boom, blood splattering everywhere, flesh and gore exposed.

This explosion seemed to trigger a chain reaction; "bang, bang, bang," three more explosions rang out, and his lower leg, left arm, and chest exploded one after another!

Ye Ming shouted, "Chi Wang! What are you still hesitating for!"

"If this continues, we will both die!"

Chi Wang gritted his teeth, his body shuddered, and a dense surge of soul power instantly merged into Ye Ming's soul form.

Ye Ming's soul form grew significantly in an instant; conversely, Chi Wang's body shrank by a circle.

Nourished by this soul power, Ye Ming was able to control more power again.

But after a moment, those energies went berserk again, and Ye Ming had no choice but to ask Chi Wang again, telling him to sacrifice some soul power.

This time, Chi Wang didn't say a word and merged another mass of soul power into Ye Ming's soul form, and his body shrank by another circle.

"This brat's strength is growing, and he is one step closer to becoming a god. But I must keep enough soul power to prevent this brat from discarding the millstone once the donkey is done!"

After Chi Wang figured this out, he became more generous in sacrificing his soul power.

Ye Ming's soul form grew slowly, and the berserk energy in his body was gradually suppressed by him.

At this point, the orange-gold soul ring at the position of his sixth soul ring also completely solidified.

By now, Chi Wang's soul form was a full two-thirds smaller than before!

Looking at Ye Ming, under the nourishment of Chi Wang's soul form, his soul form had grown quite a bit, already as tall as Chi Wang's thigh.

In his mind, the soul form of Ye Ming felt a sense of relief; looking at Chi Wang, he let out a breath and murmured,

"Finally took the bait."

Chi Wang looked at the soul form of Ye Ming walking toward him, and his heart keenly sensed that something was wrong.

"Brat, what do you want to do!"

"You want to devour me? Your soul form is no match for mine; if I erupt, you will surely be severely injured!"

"Oh?" Ye Ming smiled faintly, "Who said my soul form is no match for yours?"

The next moment, his soul form grew abruptly, becoming a hundred times larger than Chi Wang's! This was precisely the Hundred-Person Soul created by the Gallstone Gu of Danghun Shan!

It was also the trump card Ye Ming had been hiding!

Ye Ming's soul form suddenly raised a foot and stomped toward the shrunken Chi Wang!

With a squelch, Chi Wang's soul form was crushed before he could even react! He twitched his nose, absorbing this soul power and merging it into himself.

A flash of orange-gold light flickered on his right arm; it was the right arm soul bone from Chi Wang's 290,000 years of cultivation!

With this, Chi Wang was completely dead, and everything he had was absorbed by Ye Ming!

Keeping Chi Wang as a soul spirit might have provided him with great assistance, and could be considered a disguised increase in his own strength.

But, from the very beginning, Ye Ming had no such intention! He had already completely enslaved the Three-Eyed Golden Lion; if he kept Chi Wang, it would inevitably be exposed as time went on.

He would also know that today's incident was something he had forced the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to plot! Given Chi Wang's doting on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, he would inevitably turn against Ye Ming.

For such an existence that could threaten him, even if it could increase his strength, he would wipe it out without hesitation!

To achieve this, he did not hesitate to use himself as bait, using the rioting energy to blow up his own body, forcing Chi Wang to lower his defenses and reduce his soul power.

"I don't like having an existence in my body that exceeds my control!"

"But the result is good; it was a success after all!"

Outside, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had been waiting anxiously.

But at this moment, she suddenly sensed that the aura belonging to her Uncle Chi Wang had completely vanished!

Even the Fate Power had disappeared! There was only one result: he was dead! The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked up at Ye Ming, who was covered in blood scabs, a look of confusion flashing in her eyes.

"Ya ya ya!"

She let out a sharp cry, her two small paws clutching her head in pain.

Fate Power surged in her mind.

In an instant, her eyes became clear again, and hatred flashed through them.

"Crack, crack, crack!"

The blood scabs on Ye Ming's body shattered, revealing his fair and handsome face. Looking at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion guarding before him, Ye Ming raised his hand and stroked her head, "You go back to the Star Dou Great Forest, otherwise, in a while, Di Tian might come to find you himself!"

"Master..."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion called out crisply, a trace of reluctance appearing in her eyes.

Ye Ming waved his hand to drive her away.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion turned around, her four hooves kicking up wind, and she ran frantically toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

Some people grow up and mature suddenly after experiencing an event.

Beasts are the same.

Ye Ming watched the Three-Eyed Golden Lion leave quietly, without a shred of attachment in his heart.

He could not let the Three-Eyed Golden Lion perform the Sacrifice now, otherwise, he would face Di Tian in his berserk state and all the Fierce Beasts in the Great Fierce Land.

Although his strength had taken a huge leap after obtaining the Red King Soul Ring and soul bone, it was not enough to contend with Di Tian! After Chi Wang contributed the soul ring and soul bone, that massive body had already vanished.

Soul power surged within Ye Ming, stopping the bleeding from the several large holes in his body, and he stood up to activate the Thunder Wing Gu, flying toward the distance.

He did not know if the King of Slaughter would return, so it was best to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible!

As for the soul ring and soul bone skills he had obtained, there would be plenty of opportunities to test them later.

After flying for a long time, Ye Ming found a tree hole in a mountain forest and began to treat the wounds on his body.

Looking at the large holes blown into his body, Ye Ming did not frown in the slightest.

To absorb Chi Wang's power, these sacrifices were all worth it! "It's a pity I don't have a healing Gu insect yet, otherwise these wounds wouldn't be worth mentioning."

True Essence and soul power were of little use for this kind of external injury.

If he could obtain a Healing Gu through the rewards, his injuries would naturally recover much faster! After murmuring this to himself, Ye Ming opened the system to check the rewards.

【Refining Path Venerable role-play progress reached 50%, reward: one Second Aperture Gu, one free activation of an Immortal Gu, one Relic Gu gift pack (ranks 1-5, ten pieces), 500,000 Primeval Stones, and one Green Grape Immortal Essence.】

【Refining Path Venerable role-play progress reached 55%, reward: one Strength Path Gu random gift pack (ranks 4-5, ten pieces), 300,000 Primeval Stones, and one Green Grape Immortal Essence.】

Looking at the two rewards, Ye Ming thought to himself, "My current state is poor; now is not the time to use an Immortal Gu."

"I only hope this Strength Path Gu gift pack can yield a Healing Gu!"

"System, claim the reward for 55% role-play progress!"

After running wildly for a long time, the Three-Eyed Golden Ni finally reached the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Once she walked into the forest, she could no longer control herself, and tears dripped down.

When Chi Wang died, the Fate Power within her surged, allowing her to break through the shroud of the Beast Taming Gu.

She knew that all of this was done by Ye Ming!

Uncle Chi Wang's death was also because of him!

But she could not defeat Ye Ming, so she had to compromise for the time being.

Fortunately, Ye Ming was wary of Di Tian and released her back to the Star Dou Great Forest to lie low.

"Master, oh Master, you never imagined that I have already broken through your restraints!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Ni murmured hatefully in her heart, and her appearance, which resembled both a dragon and a lion, instantly began to transform.

Dressed in white, her silver hair was crystalline like tassels, hanging down to her waist. Her deep blue eyes were as clear as a lake, calm and unruffled, her skin like snow, and her cold expression could not hide her stunning beauty.

"Master Ye Ming, I will meet you again in the form you remember most deeply."

"Ten thousand zhang of red dust, colorful and vibrant; the path to the ends of the earth, through clouds and water, is long and far."

"From now on, there is no little Golden Ni."

There is only, Bai Ningbing!"
