Chapter 235: Soul Bone Harvest

Shi Quan took the two soul bones from Dugu Bo.

After a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast dies, the soul bone it leaves behind is inevitably one the hunter does not yet possess; Shi Quan was currently missing only three soul bones—a skull, an arm bone, and a leg bone—so he was not surprised by these two soul bones.

His consciousness, however, arrived within the System Space.

He had indeed heard of the Ancient Yin-Yang Chaos Bird.

But Shi Quan had never heard of the Ancient Yin-Yang Chaos Phoenix.

Ancient Yin-Yang Chaos Phoenix: A special soul beast born when the plane was first created, formed by absorbing the primordial chaos yin and yang energy of the nascent plane; there is only one in the entire plane.

Note: After extraction, the power of the Ancient Yin-Yang Chaos Phoenix will transform into the host's power, and the host will inherit a portion of the Douluo Wei Mian's Source Power and luck energy.

"The entire plane?" Shi Quan pondered inwardly.

The Yin-Yang Chaos Bird was born with the help of residual chaos yin and yang energy, and there is only one per planet.

Yet the description of this Yin-Yang Chaos Phoenix says there is only one per plane.

He could ask Di Tian to protect him, but having obtained the Dragon God Heart, Di Tian must have gone to find the Silver Dragon King immediately; it wouldn't be good to call him back right after he left.

Douluo Wei Mian?

Tian Meng shrank his head, "Hehe, Boss, you know about it?"

"I still know a few things about the past deeds of you, a pure little ice silkworm." Shi Quan chuckled.

After thinking for a moment, Shi Quan decided to return and find a safe place before extracting it; the Source Power and luck energy of an entire plane did not seem simple.

"A 390,000-year Ice Jade Empress Scorpion?" Ye Lingling was startled, "If 390,000 years only ranks second, how strong must the one ranked first be?"

"Grandpa Dugu, I have a special method to obtain my Seventh Soul Ring, let's head back first."

Everyone could not help but gasp.

He also did not know what the "portion of Source Power and luck energy" mentioned in the note meant.

"Xiao Quan, who is this Bingdi you all are talking about?" Ye Lingling asked curiously.

"You want to trick Bingdi?" Shi Quan raised his hand and poked Tian Meng's chubby body.

"Bingdi is one of the three great heavenly kings of the Extreme North, ranked second among them; she is a 390,000-year Ice Jade Empress Scorpion with extremely powerful strength."

"Doesn't that mean the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's strength is even greater than Di Tian's?"

"Alright." Dugu Bo nodded, "Then let's set off and head back."

Shi Quan stood up.

Shi Quan looked up at the bright moon and stars in the sky; were the sun, moon, and stars also part of the Douluo Wei Mian?

"Never underestimate the power of soul beasts; there is an even more powerful existence in the ocean named the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, whose strength is already approaching one million years."

"The one ranked first is named Xuedi, a 690,000-year Ice Heavenly Snow Maiden; she is a creature condensed from the purest ice-attribute heaven and earth energy in the core circle of the Extreme North, the darling of ice and snow."

"The Extreme North actually hides such a terrifying existence?"

On the way back, Tian Meng said actively: "Boss, Lingling now has Twin Spirits, and her second martial soul is water-attributed. The Extreme North has the most water-attributed soul beasts. If we want to add a soul ring for her second martial soul, we can take her to the Extreme North. I am most familiar with that place, and if there's a chance, I might even be able to help her obtain a soul ring without killing a soul beast."

Judging from the system's note, this Yin-Yang Chaos Phoenix should transform into his own power in the form of some kind of Sacrifice; if so, he wouldn't need to hunt a soul beast for his Seventh Soul Ring for the time being.

"Age does not represent strength. Just like Tian Meng, his age has also reached the million-year level, but in terms of strength, he is not even as good as a 100,000-year soul beast."

Hearing this, Tian Meng could only respond awkwardly.

"Although Di Tian's age is only 800,000 years, his strength is definitely the strongest existence among the soul beast clan because Di Tian possesses a pure Dragon Tribe Bloodline. Even that Deep Sea Demon Whale King is on the path of seeking to become a dragon; otherwise, how do you think he got the title of King of Soul Beasts?"

Dugu Yan chuckled and said: "With Di Tian being so strong and having him as a backer, wouldn't we be able to walk sideways across the Douluo Continent?"

"Relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself." Shi Quan shook his head and looked at Dugu Yan seriously: "On the path of cultivation, one must never develop a mentality of relying on others."

Dugu Yan stuck out her tongue and said playfully: "I know."

"By the way, Xiao Quan, there should be quite a few good things in Tang Hao's corpse, right?" Dugu Bo suddenly said.

"Hmm." Shi Quan nodded, "Wait a moment."

Shi Quan reached into his Hundred Treasure Bag and fumbled for a while, then said with a face full of smiles: "This Tang Hao actually sent me a big gift."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a row of soul bones suddenly appeared in front of him.

The light shone, carrying surging soul power fluctuations or Mental Power fluctuations, causing everyone's advancing figures to pause.

"This guy Tang Hao actually had six soul bones?!" Dugu Bo was also startled.

One skull, one trunk bone, two arm bones, and two leg bones.

Judging from the age and energy fluctuations, the trunk bone had the highest age, approaching 80,000 years; the aura of this soul bone was somewhat similar to when Tang Hao detonated his Eighth Soul Ring, so it should have been obtained when he acquired his Eighth Soul Ring.

Slightly inferior were the 70,000-year Right Arm Bone and left leg bone; these two soul bones were the inheritance soul bones of the Clear Sky Sect.

There were also two 50,000-year-level soul bones: one was a right leg bone, and the other was a rare spirit skull. Although the soul power fluctuation was around 50,000 years, the Mental Power fluctuation was already approaching 60,000 years, and its quality was even stronger than that one from the tournament.

The last one was a pitch-black left arm bone; judging from the soul power fluctuation, the age was around 20,000 years, but its violent intensity was no weaker than that strongest 80,000-year trunk bone.

Shi Quan was more familiar with the aura on this soul bone because he had a soul bone with the same aura: the 100,000-year Titan Giant Ape soul bone!

It looked like it should be the soul bone of the Titan Giant Ape that Tang Hao defeated in the original story.

Although it was only a 20,000-year soul bone, looking purely at the amplification of power, this 20,000-year Titan Giant Ape left arm bone should be no worse than Tang Hao's 70,000-year sect inheritance right arm bone.

If one were to count.

The number of soul bones Shi Quan currently possessed had already exceeded two digits.

Tang Hao had provided six, killing the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python had yielded two each, ambushing Shi Nian had yielded one, and of the three soul bones from the tournament, only the Spirit Condensing Wisdom Skull had been absorbed by Ye Lingling, while the other two soul bones were also with Shi Quan.

That is to say, Shi Quan currently had a full eleven soul bones in his possession.

The one with the lowest age was the 20,000-year Titan Giant Ape left arm bone.

Two spirit-type soul bones: Shi Nian's Illusion Wisdom Left Arm Bone and Tang Hao's skull.

Strength-type soul bones: the 100,000-year Titan Giant Ape left arm bone and the 20,000-year left arm bone, Tang Hao's sect inheritance right arm bone, the sect inheritance left leg bone, and the trunk bone.

Speed-type soul bones: Tang Hao's right leg bone and the Wind-Chasing Left Leg Bone obtained at the tournament.

Fire-attribute soul bone: the Blazing Burning Flame right arm bone.

Control System soul bone: Azure Bull Python Left Leg Bone.

Nearly half of the eleven soul bones are Strength Clan soul bones.

"Grandpa Dugu, this Trunk Bone is quite suitable for you, but wait a while, I will give it to you later."

Dugu Bo is a Control System Title Douluo; strength-type soul bones provide him limited improvement, but the Trunk Bone is different, as the improvement from a Trunk Bone is comprehensive.

"Good." Dugu Bo nodded in agreement and did not ask for the reason.

The reason for not giving it to Dugu Bo now is simple: Shi Quan intends to enhance this Trunk Bone before giving it to Dugu Bo.

Amidst the continuous enhancements, Shi Quan also discovered some limitations of the Spirit Bone Enhancer; for example, ten-thousand-year-level soul bones can only be enhanced to the limit of 99,999 years and cannot be enhanced further.

The three soul bones Shi Quan obtained long ago—Shi Nian's Illusion Wisdom Left Arm Bone, the Bursting Burning Flame Right Arm Bone obtained from the tournament, and the Rapid Forward Chasing Wind Left Leg Bone—have all been enhanced by Shi Quan to 99,999 years, reaching the point where they cannot be enhanced further.

To allow these three soul bones to continue improving, after Shi Quan's research, there are currently two methods.

First is to use some precious treasures of heaven and earth; currently, ordinary Immortal Herbs cannot achieve this.

Second, through the method of soul bone fusion, let the soul bone achieve a Breakthrough of this limit, though it should require both soul bones to be enhanced to the 99,999-year level first.

In Shi Quan's understanding, a ten-thousand-year soul bone possesses one soul skill, and a hundred-thousand-year soul bone possesses two soul skills; two max-level ten-thousand-year soul bones, after fusion, become a stronger hundred-thousand-year soul bone, and the two individual soul skills of the soul bones also combine into two.

The six soul bones brought by Tang Hao can just help Shi Quan break the spirit-type soul bones and speed-type soul bones past one hundred thousand years; as for the strength-type, there is no need to mention it, there are more than enough.

The speed-type soul bone is naturally for Zhu Zhuqing, and Shi Quan also prepares to give one strength-type soul bone to Zhu Zhuqing; as for the spirit-type soul bone, Shi Quan plans to see later, and as for how to arrange things afterward, that will have to wait until after returning.

It must be said that Di Tian's space teleportation ability is indeed powerful; the group traveled at full speed for a full day and night before finally leaving the Star Dou Great Forest.

After a simple rest in the small town and retrieving the carriage stored at the hotel early in the morning, the group set off on the return journey.

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, in a certain mysterious space.

Di Tian respectfully bowed to the figure in front of him, "Master!"

Before him was a silver giant dragon a thousand meters tall; its magnificent scales were covered with countless cracks, and its whole body exuded a kind of desolate beauty.

It was precisely the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.

Facing Di Tian's bow, Gu Yuena remained prostrate there without any movement.

Seeing this, Di Tian could not help but sigh slightly; Shi Quan's appearance caused Gu Yuena to wake up early, but because of the severe injuries in Gu Yuena's body, the newly awakened Gu Yuena fell back into a deep slumber, and she did not even react to him entering...
