Chapter 218: Absorbing the Blue Silver Soul Bone

"Very well!"

Aside from Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, Shi Quan stood up, intending to bring Zhu Zhuqing down as well; the burial ground of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings was rich in energy, and cultivating there would yield twice the result with half the effort.

Therefore, having Dugu Bo there as an extra person didn't actually affect anything.

However, Shi Quan speculated that the power of the two great Dragon Kings could likely only protect two people, so he placed all four of them directly into his Hundred Treasure Bag, returned once more to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, leaped, and submerged into the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, sinking toward the depths.

Similar to the previous ascent, as Shi Quan submerged into the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, a force emerged from the depths of the spring, carrying Shi Quan as he sank toward the depths.

With the flickering of red and blue interlaced light, Shi Quan returned once again to the place where the two great Dragon Kings were buried.

"Two seniors, besides my few lovers, one of my elders also wishes to come and pay respects to you both. I brought my elder here without your consent; I ask that you two seniors please be magnanimous."

Shi Quan did not release the four people directly from the Hundred Treasure Bag, but spoke up in advance.

"No matter." The two great Dragon Kings were not angry and nodded lightly.

Hearing this, Shi Quan then released the four—Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan, and Dugu Bo—from the Hundred Treasure Bag.

Even though the four had prepared themselves mentally in advance, upon seeing the two tragic dragon corpses, they could not help but be somewhat stunned.

Especially Dugu Bo, who was seeing dragon corpses and the existence of dragon souls for the first time; with the immense dragon might pressing down, he even felt his legs trembling.

After a long while, he finally dared to look directly at them for a moment.

"Two seniors, can my two lovers absorb your soul bones?" Shi Quan pointed to Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan beside him.

The gazes of the two great Dragon Kings immediately fell upon the two of them.

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan immediately felt as if their entire bodies were being seen through.

After looking Ye Lingling up and down, the Water Dragon King said: "Yes, she possesses the Dragon Soul Power of our Lord within her body, enough to withstand the power of the Dragon Bone."

The Fire Dragon King looked at Dugu Yan, and after a brief silence, said: "She already possesses a Trunk Bone within her body, which conflicts with my Dragon Bone. However, I can melt down this Trunk Bone and transfer it to another location. Although it is a bit troublesome, it is not a problem."

Hearing this, Shi Quan let out a long breath and bowed to the two great Dragon Kings, "Then I will trouble you two seniors."

Roar!

The dragon souls of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings let out a roar, and one could see faint radiance emanating from the two massive dragon corpses, the radiance gradually gathering and transforming into two strange bones.

The bones were somewhat similar to the Mountain Dragon King bone Shi Quan had absorbed before, yet even more magnificent; the whole thing emitted an incomparably brilliant light, like flowing water, and also like burning flames.

With a "whoosh," the two crystal-clear soul bones, flashing with brilliant light, flew before Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan. Before the two women could react, the two soul bones had already surged into their bodies.

The next second, the figures of the two women flickered, and they sat directly on the ground, their bodies each emitting scorching and chilling auras.

The tails of the two great dragon souls curled forward, bringing the figures of the two women before them, and their dragon wings spread slightly, shrouding the two women within.

The time required for the two women to absorb the True Dragon Soul Bone would certainly not be short.

Seeing this, Shi Quan then looked at Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Bo, "Zhuqing, Grandpa Dugu, I plan to absorb the soul bone and the God-Bestowed Soul Ring first. Lingling and Yan Yan will likely be cultivating for a long time; the heaven and earth energy here is abundant, so you can also cultivate for a while."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and sat cross-legged to cultivate immediately.

Dugu Bo said: "You all cultivate; I will look around more, don't mind me."

Shi Quan nodded and then sat down cross-legged.

He took out a soul bone that was blue-gold all over from the Hundred Treasure Bag.

This soul bone was precisely the Blue Silver Soul Bone formed after the fusion of the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor soul bone and the 100,000-year Blue Silver King soul bone.

The current Blue Silver Emperor soul bone was even more crystal-clear than before, as if tiny specks of starlight were flickering inside, but what was peculiar was that this starlight carried traces of red.

Besides the fusion of the two homologous Blue Silver soul bones, this Blue Silver Emperor soul bone had also once fused with the special Immortal Herb, Lovesick Heartbroken Red.

As soon as the Blue Silver Emperor soul bone was taken out, a vigorous life aura permeated the air, giving people an indescribable feeling of shock.

Even Dugu Bo could not help but look toward Shi Quan's direction.

"Interesting." He felt that the aura of this soul bone seemed much stronger than before, and its appearance had some subtle changes, but he did not ask.

He just quietly watched as Shi Quan slowly pressed the soul bone in his hand onto his right leg.

Hum—

A slight humming sound rang out, Shi Quan's right leg trembled slightly, and immediately after, a cool aura quietly drilled into his leg from all directions. That crystal-clear blue soul bone quietly disappeared, transforming into countless blue-gold air currents that permeated around his right leg.

Cool, comfortable, without the slightest obstruction, as if returning to the source.

Shi Quan only felt himself stepping into a vast blue ocean, with majestic and dense life power coming from all directions.

Amidst the gentle energy fluctuations, the coolness in the right leg bone instantly spread to every part of Shi Quan's body.

The muscles and bones all over his body turned azure blue, and the majestic life force continuously nourished every meridian and every bone in Shi Quan's body; there was an indescribable feeling of comfort all over his body.

Under the transformation of the Samsara Power, the muscles and bones all over Shi Quan's body had already reached the limit of his current body, and the majestic life force within the Blue Silver Emperor soul bone continuously nourished and enhanced Shi Quan's foundation, with the original life force continuously compressing and condensing.

If one were to say that the life force within Shi Quan's body was previously like a flowing spring, under the support of the majestic life force of the Blue Silver Emperor soul bone, the liquid life force began to gradually compress, gradually condensing toward a solid state.

"Soul Core?" A shock went through Shi Quan's mind.

The Mental Power in his mind erupted, beginning to assist the power of the Blue Silver Emperor soul bone, continuously compressing the life force within his body.

The Divine Art within his body also operated rapidly, his Internal Energy and life force interlaced and fused, and his powerful Mental Power frantically squeezed and contracted the life force toward the center.

Shi Quan immediately felt the life force within his body outputting like a floodgate opening; where the life force condensed, the center seemed to collapse, continuously pouring in, compressing, and pouring in again.

Gradually, the solid life force began to take shape.

As it took shape, the solid life force immediately erupted with a terrifying suction force; Shi Quan's body trembled violently, feeling that all the life force and Internal Energy in his body were being pulled, and terrifying life force fluctuations continuously erupted from within Shi Quan's body.

His forehead was covered in beads of sweat, and Shi Quan's complexion also began to turn pale.

But Shi Quan still steadily used his Mental Power to control the fusion of Internal Energy and life force within his body, keeping these two forces stable, fearing that it would collapse the next second.

A strange scene also appeared within Shi Quan's body: the azure blue solid life force began to gradually change color, starting to shift from azure blue to emerald green, and this emerald green overflowed with a trace of golden light, and this golden light was still continuously deepening.

According to the theory of the Soul Core, the fusion of Internal Energy and life force within Shi Quan's body had already produced the attribute-based nature of solid soul power.

This attribute-based nature was naturally manifested in the life force.

Because of the Nine Yin Nine Yang, Shi Quan's soul power was continuous and endless, and coupled with the Samsara Power hidden within his body, it was absolutely top-tier in quality; the fusion of the two 100,000-year Blue Silver soul bones plus the life force of the Immortal Herb Lovesick Heartbroken Red, which could bring the dead back to life, made the life force within it nothing short of terrifying.

The life force was definitely sufficient, but wanting to condense a Soul Core was not that simple.

The golden color became more and more intense, and the aura of life force had completely permeated into the solid soul power, but under such frantic absorption, the Internal Energy within Shi Quan's body was already showing signs of exhaustion.

At this moment, eight golden lights suddenly lit up behind Shi Quan, extending outward and piercing directly into the ground, while a powerful Devour ability erupted instantly; the Blue Silver Emperor Tree leaf appeared in his hand, and vines resembling willow branches scattered and hung down to the ground.

The dense Heaven and Earth Yuan Power immediately surged toward Shi Quan's body like a tide, causing the color to quickly return to his pale cheeks.

Also at this moment, the black and white intertwined Soul Core within Shi Quan finally erupted with power; in an instant, the entire emerald-green light orb collapsed, and the green and gold colors completely merged, with golden ripples undulating and intersecting with the green to form a strange, tree-shaped crystal.

In an instant, green-gold patterns spread out from Shi Quan's heart and gradually covered his entire body.

The Devour power on Shi Quan's body erupted once more, and it was twice as strong as before, causing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Power in the air to gather toward Shi Quan again at an astonishing speed.

The terrifying commotion caused Zhu Zhuqing, who was in the midst of cultivation, to be startled awake from her practice.

Shi Quan's body seemed to have turned into a black hole, terrifyingly devouring everything in the surroundings.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo grabbed Zhu Zhuqing and leaped backward, because even Dugu Bo felt that his own soul power and Mental Power were on the verge of being pulled out of his body by this terrifying Devour power, forcing him to retreat.

Seeing this scene, the two great dragon souls also showed a hint of amazement in their expressions, and with a flash of light, they protected the two women, Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan.

As time passed second by second, the life aura on Shi Quan's body became increasingly thick, and the Blue Silver Emperor Tree in his hand became even more robust, as if countless lives and vitality were gestating within the azure vines.

The emerald-gold patterns began to recede like a tide, and Shi Quan's body emitted a faint emerald-gold radiance; this radiance also slowly faded, yet the feeling he gave people was as if he had been sublimated.

The Blue Silver Emperor Tree in his hand also gradually retracted, the blue light shrinking until it finally disappeared completely into Shi Quan's hand.

The moment his martial soul vanished, Shi Quan's own aura also completely disappeared; sitting there, he was like a rock, or like a pool of clear spring water, yet he lacked the slightest trace of his original life aura, as if his entire person had become illusory...
