Chapter 234 The Evil Eye's Unexpected Turn of Events
Ling watched Poseidon and Shrek's group walk away and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
On this vast ocean, Poseidon is enough to pose a threat to Ding Quan, who is currently absorbing a soul ring. If he really has designs on the soul bone of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, then it is indeed quite dangerous.
Ling stared at the golden pillar of light in the distance. Poseidon and Tang Chen knew exactly what that power meant.
It contains power surpassing that of a level 99 Soul Master.
As for Ning Rongrong following along, she won't be in any danger, as there's no need for her assistance here now.
There's even less reason to worry about whether Poseidon and his group will harm Ning Rongrong.
No force can contend with several peerless Douluo. It is true that Poseidon is very strong, but it is unrealistic for her to deal with several level 99 beings at the same time, unless she stays on Seagod Island, where she can use divine power.
"Rongrong, did he really absorb the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's spirit ring?"
Far from the Demon Whale Sea, on a calm sea surface despite the turbulent waves, Tang San, though already knowing the answer, still couldn't help but want to confirm it.
There was nothing else to it but that Ding Quan possessed something of paramount importance to his succession to the Sea God's throne.
It's now certain that to get that thing, we'll have to face Ding Quan.
At this time, Ding Quan's ninth spirit ring had an age of 990,000 years. Even with twin martial souls and seventeen spirit rings, the combined age of all his spirit rings was higher.
With a soul ring of this age, the power of its soul skills is probably unmatched by many soul masters.
Furthermore, with Ding Quan at level 90, a near-title Douluo level, he can participate in battles between level 99 peerless Douluos. Once he absorbs that soul ring with an age of nearly a million years, it is impossible to measure how strong he will become.
"He is indeed absorbing the soul ring of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and he is almost successful."
Ning Rongrong did not hide anything. In the eyes of Poseidon and Tang San, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had already been hunted down, so there was no need to hide it.
"It's already a success? Level 90 soul power can really absorb a 990,000-year-old soul ring?" Dai Mubai, standing to the side, looked at Tang San, who opened his mouth but didn't say anything. It seemed that this news was a bit hard for him to accept.
This is normal. As a disciple of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, Tang San has read too many theories about Soul Masters.
But now that Ding Quan and his group have appeared, those theories seem like a joke.
"Normally, that's impossible."
"They are soul bones, and a complete set of soul bones. The energy between these soul bones can be fused together to form a soul bone set." Tang Chen patted Tang San.
"I know, it's a soul bone fusion technique!" Tang San recovered. He now had a fairly good understanding of his great-grandfather.
The reason why his great-grandfather was able to cultivate to the level of ninety-nine was largely because he possessed a complete set of soul bones that were extremely suitable for him. Since these soul bones were basically from the same type of soul beast, when his soul bones were fully matched, he possessed a soul bone fusion skill that was difficult for any soul master to obtain.
Finally, a set of soul bone armor can be formed on his body, greatly increasing his strength.
It was precisely because of this that he was able to gain a slight advantage in his battle against Qian Daoliu, the then-ruling elder of the Spirit Hall.
It should be noted that the Spirit Hall's inherited spirit, the Six-Winged Angel, is a god-level spirit. Once awakened, it possesses level 20 innate spirit power, a power that surpasses countless other spirits.
The Clear Sky Hammer martial soul is indeed powerful, but in terms of martial soul strength, it is definitely no match for the Six-Winged Angel martial soul.
Tang San already knew that Ding Quan possessed a soul bone fusion technique. Tang Hao had told him when he went to Seagod Island that Ding Quan had several soul bones, and these soul bones had formed something like armor on his body.
"You know?" Ning Rongrong was a little surprised, but considering Tang San's teacher, it wasn't so strange.
"If I'm not mistaken, the armor Ling was wearing just now wasn't entirely a soul skill; it was also a soul bone armor," Tang Chen continued. Although the person who had stopped them earlier had a layer of ice armor, which resembled the soul bone skill Tang San had mentioned before, Tang Chen still managed to discern the true nature beneath that ice armor.
"Ling does indeed possess the Soul Bone Fusion Technique."
"That makes sense." Tang Chen nodded. Back in the City of Slaughter, he was certain that Ding Quan and the others had used their full strength, but Ling, who later sealed his power, did not have a Soul Bone Set.
So naturally, it was formed by absorbing the ninth spirit ring and the last piece of spirit bone.
"To possess a soul bone fusion skill, the soul bones a soul master absorbs should ideally all be compatible with them; this is the most basic condition." Ning Rongrong said, her expression somewhat gloomy. She already possessed a complete set of soul bones, all of which were over 100,000 years old, but unfortunately, there was no sign of fusion between these soul bones.
Ding Quan and the others were unable to successfully cultivate the "Ruling the World" technique, and now even the Soul Bone Set showed no signs of progress.
After acquiring a complete set of soul bones, Ling and Shui Bing'er quickly formed soul bone armor.
Judging from their situation, even if they possessed a complete set of soul bones suitable for themselves, they would still need a powerful mental force to communicate with these soul bones in order to form armor.
This is why even if you possess a complete set of soul bones, the probability of having a soul bone fusion skill is less than one in a thousand.
Ning Rongrong glanced at Tang Chen. This man, who was known as one of the two great figures in the Soul Master world decades ago, was the one who created the Haotian Technique. Such a person's spiritual power must be quite high, which explains why he possesses the Soul Bone Set.
Regarding Tang Chen's possession of the Soul Bone Set, Ning Rongrong learned from Ding Quan that when Ding Quan first met the King of Slaughter, he sensed the aura of Soul Bones in the armor he was wearing.
"indeed."
"So, Boss Dai, this soul bone is definitely suitable for you." Ning Rongrong said, taking out a soul bone from her storage soul tool and handing it to Dai Mubai. "This is the soul bone we traded before, what do you think?"
"This is!" Before Dai Mubai could speak, Tang San's eyes widened slightly as he looked at the soul bone Ning Rongrong had taken out. It was the right arm bone of the White-Eyed Demon Tiger King, which was over 70,000 years old!
Tang San recognized the soul bone. He was quite familiar with its aura, after all, he possessed the soul ring of the White-Eyed Demon Tiger King, the creature that produced the soul bone.
"Third Brother, you know."
"This is a soul bone dropped by a soul beast I hunted with my third soul ring. It came from the White-Eyed Demon Tiger King, which was over 70,000 years old. It is indeed suitable for the White Tiger Martial Soul."
"I see!"
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai's eyes lit up. The spirit beast that Tang San hunted with his third spirit ring was over ten thousand years old, which naturally meant the Clear Sky Hammer spirit. The spirit beasts hunted by Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer spirit were all top-tier beings.
More than 70,000 years old, which is much longer than he had expected.
The difference between a soul bone with a lifespan of 10,000 years and one with a lifespan of 70,000 years is quite significant.
"Really for me?"
"Brother Dai, your divinely bestowed spirit ring is perfect for me. Its effect on me is far greater than that of this spirit bone." Ning Rongrong absorbed the divinely bestowed spirit ring and gained the Invincible Divine Light skill, which gave her, as a support spirit master, sufficient self-protection ability in battle.
Not long ago, when Ding Quan and his companions fought the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, they were able to fight freely without worrying about being fatally injured.
"Then I'll accept it." Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai took the soul bone. With this right arm soul bone that was over 70,000 years old, his strength would be greatly enhanced. Moreover, absorbing this soul bone would improve his talent, allowing him to reach level 90 and become a Title Douluo more quickly.
Once you become a Title Douluo, you won't have to worry about the threat from the Star Luo Royal Family.
"Second Brother, you are a support Soul Master. This Soul Bone can provide a defensive skill, which should suit you." Ning Rongrong handed a leg bone to Oscar. This was the left leg bone she had absorbed before, which was over 50,000 years old.
"The soul bone of a Golden Scale Beast that's over 50,000 years old!" Tang San stared at the left leg soul bone, stunned once again.
He was also very familiar with this soul bone. He had obtained it when he was at the Soul King realm, under the guidance of his father, Tang Hao, in order to find a suitable soul bone.
However, at that time, he already had enough soul bones, and since he would be hunting 100,000-year-old soul beasts later, he did not choose to absorb any more to make room for 100,000-year-old soul bones.
"That's right, this soul bone was given to me by Haotian Douluo."
"Thank you very much!" Oscar took the soul bone and his eyes narrowed immediately. The left leg bone with defensive skills was indeed very suitable for him. What's more, the age of this soul bone was more than 50,000 years. Even a Super Douluo would probably be envious of such an age.
"I don't know if trading a divinely bestowed soul ring is a good thing or a bad thing."
Poseidon looked at Dai Mubai and Oscar, who were somewhat excited. The divinely bestowed spirit rings allow spirit masters to obtain the most suitable spirit rings and skills.
Such value is difficult to measure.
Using it to exchange for a 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone, plus this 10,000-year soul bone, doesn't seem like a bad deal.
Given Dai Mubai and Oscar's abilities, their ninth spirit ring would at most be a 100,000-year spirit ring. Now, acquiring two more spirit bones might even provide a greater boost to their strength.
However, the divinely bestowed spirit ring would be a greater boost for this person. Her ninth spirit ring had a lifespan of over 200,000 years, and the help this spirit ring provided exceeded her terms for the trade. They each got what they needed.
Moreover, it was precisely because of those two divinely bestowed soul rings that they dared to attack the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and ultimately hunted it down.
The fact that these people hunted the Deep Sea Demon Whale King might be the reason why Tang San's opponent after him became that person in the Sea God's Oracle. After all, if nothing unexpected happens, the opponent in the Sea God's eighth trial will be the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
At this point, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was gone.
Thus, the opponent is now even more terrifying, possessing a million-year soul ring; his future strength will undoubtedly be terrifying.
It seemed that the only option was to have Tang San complete the sixth trial quickly. Poseidon glanced at Tang Chen beside her and made up her mind.
The Sea of the Demon Whale.
"No wonder he needed my help; others might not be able to withstand such a sustained impact." Golden Crocodile Douluo used his Martial Soul True Body to block the surging seawater around him, allowing Ding Quan in the central area to safely absorb his ninth soul ring.
Looking at Ding Quan's current spirit ring configuration, in addition to the eight spirit rings (two yellow, one purple, two black, and three red), a huge golden spirit ring is slowly approaching him.
The immense power was being absorbed by Ding Quan, and at the same time, a terrifying suction force emanated from Ding Quan, causing the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) to pour in wildly, and the surrounding seawater to violently crash towards Ding Quan.
Feeling the impact on his body, Golden Crocodile Douluo released a lot of soul power again. Such an impact might not hurt Ding Quan, but it would definitely affect Ding Quan's output as he was absorbing soul rings.
If it weren't for his strong defense, other soul masters probably wouldn't have been able to last long. In addition, the consumption of soul power would be something that ordinary soul masters couldn't afford.
Three soul cores—this far surpasses the existence of two soul cores. Sensing the immense天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) surrounding him, he was unable to absorb it at all. Even the soul power he released was partly flowing towards Ding Quan, who had not yet officially broken through to the Title Douluo realm.
"Senior Golden Crocodile, there might be danger in a moment."
"Could there be anything else?" Upon hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression turned serious. The woman who had just appeared, as well as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, had actually entered Ding Quan's spiritual sea. Although Golden Crocodile Douluo was a little puzzled, he didn't ask Shui Bingji, who was standing to the side without saying anything.
That woman, whose beauty rivaled Xueji's, was actually a soul beast, and one that was over 700,000 years old. Considering that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had also transformed into human form, it seemed that soul beasts, once they cultivated to a certain level, could transform into humans without needing to undergo a transformation.
"Perhaps even more dangerous than dealing with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King."
"Huh?!" Golden Crocodile Douluo was slightly taken aback. Even more dangerous than the Deep Sea Demon Whale King? Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at the golden spirit ring. Was there an existence on the Douluo Continent that was more dangerous than the Deep Sea Demon Whale King?
Buzz!
Just as Golden Crocodile Douluo was about to ask a question, a strange fluctuation emanated from Ding Quan's body.
Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Ding Quan and was immediately startled.
At this moment, the vertical eye on Ding Quan's forehead began to rotate, and a strange aura emanated from that eye.
"Is he here?" Shui Bing'er's eyes met the eye on Ding Quan's head, and then her spiritual power surged.
Rule the world!
A powerful surge of soul energy erupted, and a bright blue domain instantly burst forth from Shui Bing'er's body, directly enveloping Ding Quan.
Sensing the aura of the Ice Phoenix Domain, a golden domain slowly emerged from Ding Quan's body.
Thump!
A powerful surge of soul power erupted from Ding Quan's body. Under the watchful gaze of Golden Crocodile Douluo, the golden soul ring landed directly on Ding Quan's body, and the Dragon Abyss Sword immediately flashed with multicolored light before returning to normal.
Ding Quan suddenly opened his eyes, and then a slight smile appeared on his lips.
He sensed an extremely unfamiliar spiritual force emerging in his sea of consciousness; indeed, this was his last chance.
However, this is also my opportunity.
Ding Quan grabbed Shui Bing'er's outstretched hand, and then the two of them closed their eyes.
Such terrifying mental power! Golden Crocodile Douluo felt his body become heavy, surrounded by an indescribable mental pressure, and that closed vertical eye? Had something happened to his spiritual sea?
