Chapter 220 Terrifying Soul Skills
A ninth spirit ring that's five hundred thousand years old!
Furthermore, it is the most suitable skill for Shui Bing'er, and the power of this ninth spirit ring is absolutely immense.
Shui Bing'er's aura gradually calmed down, causing Ding Quan to feel the power that had shaken the heavens and earth subside.
"Quan, can you feel it? The power of level ninety-nine!" Shui Bing'er quietly stood up, reached out and grabbed Ding Quan's hand. As their soul powers merged, Ding Quan felt an aura similar to the one before.
"This is a level that only our soul power can reach."
Ding Quan understood that the power he had just experienced was the effect of the fusion technique between the two martial souls.
"I can sense an invisible barrier in front of me, but with your soul power joining in, I can directly overcome that bottleneck."
"Is that so?" Ding Quan knew that the bottleneck Shui Bing'er mentioned was the power of level 99. Level 99 was the pinnacle of human soul masters, possessing strength that surpassed that of soul masters at level 98 and below.
At this time, Shui Bing'er's strength was level 96. With her current setup, she still hadn't reached level 99.
"I can't reach that level under normal circumstances, but now I have the ninth soul skill that is most suitable for me. Once used, it can allow me to briefly reach that level."
"Um?"
Ding Quan was taken aback. Could it be that Shui Bing'er's ninth soul skill, which made her own strength the same as her martial soul fusion skill, could greatly enhance her own strength?
"My ninth soul skill has only one ability, called Ice Phoenix Nirvana. Once activated, even if I have suffered serious injuries before, I can be healed instantly and return to my peak condition. At the same time, I can unleash the ultimate ice attribute with all my might. My mental power and soul power will be sublimated, and I will burst out with several times my own power. As long as I still have soul power, no matter how serious the injuries I suffer in battle, they cannot kill me."
"What about the side effects?"
"The side effects are almost non-existent. If there are any, it's that once I use it, it will consume all my soul power. After using this skill, it will take me some time to fully recover." Shui Bing'er looked at the red soul ring with five golden patterns on the outermost part of her body.
This is the power of high-age spirit rings. The higher the age of the spirit ring, the less spirit power it consumes to possess power that ordinary spirit rings cannot, and the side effects are also very small.
Just like one's seventh spirit ring, the Martial Soul True Body, if an ordinary Soul Saint were to use the Martial Soul True Body, it would have extremely strong side effects, and the skill would be unusable for a period of time.
However, his own 100,000-year-old Martial Soul True Body seemed to have no side effects at all.
Ding Quan, and the others who approached at this moment, were in the same situation; they could use their Martial Soul True Body at will.
"This is the ninth spirit ring of 500,000 years, it is truly powerful!" Ning Rongrong heard about Shui Bing'er's ninth spirit skill, which could unleash several times her own power. This was a power boost that even with the full support of her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spirit, she could not achieve.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong possessed her eighth spirit ring, which was over 200,000 years old. She clearly felt the enhancement that the ferocious beast spirit ring brought to her strength. Ning Rongrong's current spirit power strength surpassed that of many titled Douluo.
With the skills provided by her eighth spirit ring, assisting the others was no longer a big problem for her. The immense power of the Titan Snow Demon King provided her with spirit power levels, bringing her spirit power to level 86.
It's important to know that in the original story, when Tang San reached level 85, he received the spirit rings of Da Ming and Er Ming, which replenished his level 5 spirit power. The spirit power of the 200,000-year-old Titan Snow Demon King was in no way inferior to that of the two spirit beasts, Da Ming and Er Ming.
"Bing'er doesn't have many defensive skills, but this soul skill directly makes up for this shortcoming." Ling sensed that Shui Bing'er's aura was no less than his own. Shui Bing'er only had her third soul skill as a defensive skill, but the defensive ability of a thousand-year soul skill was not very useful against opponents of the same level. This ninth soul skill was indeed the skill that Shui Bing'er needed most.
"This is indeed the most suitable skill for me." Shui Bing'er nodded. Although this soul ring with an age of more than 500,000 years only provides one skill, the ability of this skill is too comprehensive and has no shortcomings.
As for consuming all of his soul power, considering the two soul cores he currently possesses and his extremely fast recovery speed, the impact on him is there, but not significant.
"We can set off for the Sun Moon Continent now. Ideally, Rongrong should be promoted to Title Douluo. With her assistance, we'll have a better chance of defeating the Deep Sea Demon Whale King."
"Moreover, Zhu Qing can now obtain the eighth spirit ring, and perhaps even the ninth spirit ring."
After consuming some herbs obtained from Dugu Bo, Zhu Zhuqing's soul power has now reached level eighty.
Taking herbs might indeed cause instability in one's foundation, but since she possesses a soul core, the impact isn't too significant. Furthermore, she cultivates the Sovereign's Ruler skill, which allows her to refine her soul power.
"Even if I replenish all the soul bones in my body, it will be difficult to break through to the Title Douluo level in a short period of time." Zhu Zhuqing is currently only missing two soul bones. Even if she absorbs the eighth soul ring and two more 100,000-year soul bones, her soul power level will be difficult to reach level 90.
"Zhu Qing, you might still have a chance."
Ding Quan and his companions, having spent little time in the far north, quickly headed towards the Sun and Moon Continent.
Within Ding Quan's spiritual sea, Xue Di sensed the aura emanating from the fusion of Shui Bing'er's and Ding Quan's soul power, and a smile appeared on her face.
That power was no weaker than when he only had one soul core. If these two used the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, and with the assistance of that Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master, his strength would probably not be inferior to his peak.
With such strength, even if they are no match for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, they will not be in any danger, especially since they have other people to help them.
However, at that time, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King may not be the most dangerous one.
Sun and Moon Continent.
In a large city in the north, in an inconspicuous courtyard, several people arrived whose clothing was completely out of place with the surroundings.
"I never imagined that behind this far north lies a continent." The man with chrysanthemum-yellow hair and wearing golden soft armor spoke in a somewhat effeminate voice.
"Elder Ju, your injury?"
"A few minor injuries are nothing to worry about, but what about this country?" This person was none other than Chrysanthemum Douluo.
"This Sun Moon Empire may be no smaller than the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, and there's also this soul tool."
Hu Liena's strength was now at level 80, and with her powerful mental strength, she had used her skull skill to control a Soul Master before arriving here, and obtained some gold Soul Coins used by the Sun Moon Empire.
During this time, I also got a general idea of where the others were.
This is a country called the Sun Moon Empire, which also has Soul Masters. In addition, the country has no shortage of Soul Tools, which are scarce in the Douluo Continent. It even has Soul Masters who specialize in making Soul Tools and are called Soul Masters.
At this moment, Hu Liena was holding a soul tool that looked like a cannon barrel. This was a rare type of attack soul tool in the Douluo Continent, and it was extremely valuable. However, it seemed that every soul master here had one.
"Old Ghost is back!"
A black shadow appeared silently, its ghostly expression solemn.
"Elder Ghost, is something wrong?" Hu Liena noticed that Ghost Douluo's expression was a bit off. Ghostly martial souls are hard for others to detect, so he went out to find out more detailed information about this country.
"Nana, this country is very complex, and its size is comparable to that of Douluo Continent." Ghost took out a map from her storage soul tool and then unfolded it directly under the effect of soul power.
"This size, and the forest in the middle?"
"This forest is called the Evil Soul Forest, Nana. Perhaps there are more suitable soul beasts for you there."
"A more suitable soul beast for me?" Hu Liena's eyes lit up upon hearing this. The Titan Snow Demon from the far north was indeed suitable for her, but hunting it would be too difficult. The soul beast that Ghost Douluo said was suitable for her should be one that a few people could hunt with their combined strength, and it would be over 100,000 years old and also have a spiritual attribute.
"There are many spirit-attribute soul beasts in this Evil Soul Forest, and there are at least ten that are over 100,000 years old!"
"Huh!? Old ghost, you didn't find out the truth?" Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice changed. There were no less than ten hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts. Even the Star Dou Great Forest didn't have so many powerful beings.
"Absolutely true!"
"Then this Demon Forest?" Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression turned grim. If the news brought by Ghost Douluo was true, then this Demon Soul Forest was even more dangerous than the far north.
"That's right, this Evil Soul Forest is extremely dangerous." Ghost Douluo, as Chrysanthemum Douluo's partner, understood what he meant. "At the core of this Evil Soul Forest, there dwells a terrifying being known as the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord, who is currently over 700,000 years old!"
"What!" Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Hu Liena straightened up considerably, their voices filled with disbelief.
Over 700,000 years, can a soul beast really grow to that extent?
An ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast might be defeated by a Super Douluo of level 95, but hunting it is not easy. This is why, even though the three upper sects have Super Douluos, there are very few Title Douluos with 100,000-year-old soul rings.
If we were to encounter the two great beast kings of the Star Dou Great Forest, or the Titan Snow Demon of the far north, only someone with the strength of a Venerable One could possibly deal with them.
A 700,000-year-old soul beast?
What kind of power would that possess? And even if it were hunted, who could absorb such a spirit ring?
"In addition, I roughly know why Ding Quan and the others have golden patterns on their red spirit rings."
"Um?"
"When a soul beast reaches 100,000 years old, it will face a lightning tribulation after 1,000 years. Once it passes the tribulation, it will face the tribulation again every 100,000 years. The golden patterns are indeed proof of how many lightning tribulations a soul beast has passed."
"Old ghost! Could it be the golden markings on that kid Ding Quan's red spirit ring?"
"I remember that Ding Quan's seventh spirit ring had seven golden patterns on it!" Hu Liena suddenly paused, realizing something. Seven golden patterns meant that his seventh spirit ring was seven hundred thousand years old!
A 700,000-year spirit ring—the age of this one spirit ring alone is about three times the combined age of all the spirit rings of an ordinary Title Douluo.
The seventh spirit ring is the true form of the martial spirit. It's hard to imagine how terrifying the enhancement brought about by the true form of the martial spirit under such a high-age spirit ring is.
Hu Liena instantly realized that a Soul Saint of this age could not absorb a Soul Ring, even though Ding Quan and the others' strength at the time made her feel hopeless.
Soul Beast Sacrifice!
Only in this way could he have the possibility of absorbing that kind of soul ring. If he were to sacrifice himself, Ding Quan would definitely still have a soul bone with an age of 700,000 years.
"Not only him, but Bing Ling's spirit rings also have golden patterns. No wonder her strength is so terrifying!" Chrysanthemum Douluo came back to his senses and thought of the Titan Snow Demon in the far north, which neither of them could defeat. At that time, Ling, who only had eight rings, simply released her aura and made that terrifying spirit beast leave.
At that time, Ling had three red soul rings, two of which had gold patterns. Her eighth soul ring had four gold patterns, which meant it was a soul beast with an age of 400,000 years. If the bloodline of that 400,000-year-old soul beast was as powerful as the Titan Snow Demon, it would be reasonable for it to be frightened by simply releasing its aura.
"Also, it is rumored that not long ago, many 100,000-year-old soul beasts were hunted down in the Evil Soul Forest, and that period coincided with the time when Ding Quan and the others disappeared."
"Elder Ghost, are you saying that they obtained their 100,000-year soul rings in this Evil Soul Forest?"
"That's very possible. You know, the soul beasts of the far north aren't suitable for Ding Quan, or for that Wei'er."
"Old Ghost is right!"
"Nana, should we go to the Evil Soul Forest? The territory of a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast is vast. With Yue Guan's and my strength, we are no match for Titan Snow Demon. However, if it is an ordinary hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast with the mental attribute, we can still deal with it, as long as we don't encounter the Evil Eye Clan of the Evil Soul Forest." Ghost Douluo said in a deep voice. There are indeed many hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the Evil Soul Forest. If it is the core area, it is indeed dangerous, but he has already found out that there are many weaker hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts distributed in similar mixed areas.
With the strength of two level 95 Super Douluo, dealing with them carefully shouldn't be a problem. Moreover, in a place like the Evil Soul Forest, they can better utilize their strength.
Of course, Hu Liena's eighth spirit ring took too long to complete, and returning empty-handed would be difficult to explain to the Pope.
"Okay!" Hu Liena took the information about a soul beast handed to her by Ghost Douluo, her eyes lighting up. This soul beast was indeed very suitable for her? But the Evil Eye Clan... looking at the giant eyeball on the map, was it a member of this guy's clan?
That soul beast, which is over 700,000 years old, is probably impossible for anyone to obtain its soul ring.
On the high seas.
"Xiaobai, are you sure it's true!" Ma Hongjun's voice rang out, his tone extremely terrified.
"Naturally, only ferocious beasts can have golden patterns in their spirit rings, and ferocious beasts are beings with more than 200,000 years of lifespan." Little White carried Shrek Academy and his group towards Seagod Island at high speed. As a spirit beast, she naturally knew what golden patterns in a red spirit ring represented. There were ferocious beasts in the sea, but they all had their own territories.
The other one of the Seven Sacred Pillars, the Sea Witch, is a member of the Mermaid Clan, a special race between soul beasts and humans. There are many ferocious beasts in their clan, which Xiaobai naturally knows.
"A spirit ring from a ferocious beast over two hundred thousand years old! Little San, it's no wonder you're no match for her." Dai Mubai took a long time to recover his senses before looking at Tang San, who was still in shock.
No wonder Tang San was no match for Ling even when he used the Soul Ring Explosion technique. That man had three soul rings with golden patterns on them, which came from a three-headed ferocious beast.
Thinking of the number of golden patterns, Dai Mubai breathed a sigh of relief. The other party should not go back on their word in the deal he made with the divinely bestowed soul ring. A 100,000-year soul ring was indeed nothing in their eyes.
"Tang San, a person with the same martial soul as you has come to Seagod Island. He even fought against the Grand Elder before."
"Huh?" Tang San came to his senses. Someone with the same martial soul as him?
Who could be the powerful individual possessing the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul?
Having fought against the Grand Elder, his strength must be incredibly powerful. Only the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul has this ability. Then he remembered that Ding Quan had said that there would be a surprise when he returned to Seagod Island.
"His name seems to be Tang Chen."
Tang Chen? The great-grandfather who created the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian and the Great Sumeru Hammer!
