Chapter 401 Devouring Soul Bone! Engraving the Law!
Xu Xingyu, who had already completed the fusion of the Mountain Dragon King's trunk bones, was also a little stunned! In just a short while, Xu Xingyu actually completed the fusion of the Mountain Dragon King's soul bones! The whole process took less than ten minutes!
The fusion time of the left metacarpal bone of the Light Dragon King was even shorter than that of the torso bone of the Mountain Dragon King!
If Xu Xingyu had not felt that the two soul bones had indeed merged with his own, and had indeed gained increased abilities and new skills, he would have doubted whether the soul bones he had merged were fake.
But thinking back carefully, this is probably because his body did not fuse the soul bone, but devoured the soul bone. This phenomenon will only occur when the bloodline of the fused soul bone is very different from the soul master's own bloodline.
If the blood in the soul bone is nobler than the soul master's blood, then the soul master will experience great pain and even death when fusing the soul bone. However, if the soul master's blood is more noble, then fusing the soul bone will become devouring the soul bone, and the soul bone will be absorbed by the soul master effortlessly.
Soul masters will still gain the abilities and bonuses of soul bones, but the soul skills created may undergo slight mutations due to their own bloodline.
The most obvious example in the original work is Tang Wulin, who once obtained the right palm bone of a hundred-year-old dark gold terrorclaw bear, and then absorbed the soul bone by swallowing it like Xu Xingyu.
After swallowing that soul bone, he did not gain the Dark Gold Terror Claw, the original soul skill of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, but the Dark Gold Terror Claw skill was merged with his own Golden Dragon Claw, and the even more powerful skill of Golden Dragon Terror Claw was born.
The Dragon King soul bone that Xu Xingyu had fused before was actually absorbed by devouring. After all, at least in this Douluo galaxy, the bloodline of no beast is more noble than the bloodline of the Dragon God.
However, the first time he fused the soul bone was with the Dark Dragon King’s left palm, his cultivation was relatively weak, so even if he swallowed it, it still took some time. The second time, he fused the soul bones of the Ice and Fire Dragon King at the same time when there was a problem with the Chaos Core.
The two soul bone absorption processes were so strenuous and painful that Xu Xingyu himself did not realize that he was absorbing the soul bones by swallowing.
But it’s not too late to know it now. At least I won’t waste too much time when fusing the Dragon King’s soul bone in the future, right?
After getting rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, Xu Xingyu looked at the bead in his hand that contained the God-given soul ring. Because of the advantage of his bloodline, it would be easier and faster for Xu Xingyu to fuse soul bones, but it would be different to fuse the God-given soul ring.
A god-given soul ring is different from a normal soul ring. It does not contain the energy condensed after the death of a soul beast. Instead, it is a special soul ring condensed by the god using his own divine power based on the framework of the soul ring.
Absorbing this kind of spirit ring will certainly not be affected by any resentment from the spirit beast or suppression of blood, but because of this, you need to be extra careful when washing your hands.
If one is greedy and desires a higher level spirit ring, one may unknowingly increase the lifespan of the God-given spirit ring beyond the limit of one's body during the absorption process, and then end up with injuries all over one's body, or even kill oneself.
It is true that Xu Xingyu, who possesses a god-level body, does not need to worry about these problems particularly, so he can absorb them completely, but it is better not to seek death too much.
The golden bead in his hand turned into golden mist and merged into Xu Xingyu's body. A purple-gold star also rose behind Xu Xingyu, and six soul rings of red, red, purple, gold, purple, gold, and purple appeared.
At the moment when the golden fog was absorbed, Xu Xingyu could feel a huge amount of energy being absorbed by himself, and under the guidance of Xu Xingyu, that energy was absorbed by the purple-gold star that symbolized the emperor. At the moment when the energy was absorbed, an illusory white soul ring began to emerge.
As the energy continued to be absorbed, the color of the soul ring gradually changed from white to yellow, and after absorbing a certain amount of energy, the soul ring actually exploded!
But this does not mean that Xu Xingyu failed in fusing the soul ring. After all, with his level of cultivation, a mere hundred-year soul ring is not qualified to be his seventh soul ring!
The fragments of the soul ring that exploded also re-condensed at this time, and this time the color changed from yellow, symbolizing a hundred years, to purple, symbolizing a thousand years.
After officially turning purple, the soul ring exploded again and re-condensed, and then began the process of changing from purple to black, and after that the soul ring changed from black to red.
The most difficult step is when the God-given soul ring changes to red, because from here on, after absorbing energy for every 100,000 years, one must use one's own martial soul to engrave a golden pattern on the soul ring.
Under normal circumstances, this golden pattern is the unique pattern of the soul ring left behind by the soul beast after it dies after reaching the fierce beast, symbolizing the power of the laws of heaven and earth that the soul beast comprehended during its lifetime.
However, there is no such power of law in the God-given soul ring, which means that if one wants to further increase the lifespan of one's own God-given soul ring and surpass the limit of 100,000 years, the soul master must use his own martial soul to engrave the power of law that he has comprehended on the God-given soul ring.
This is also why the upper limit of the God-granted soul rings awarded by the God Test is usually one hundred thousand years, rather than the higher limit of the ferocious beast soul rings, because if you want to do that, you either let the soul master engrave the laws himself, or help the soul master engrave them in advance.
The latter's behavior is equivalent to dispersing his own authority in spirit rings and giving them to others.
No god would be willing to do such a thankless task. Even if that person is his successor, after all, if the successor fails halfway, then not only will his soul ring, which carries part of his authority, be wasted, but his authority will also be weakened!
As for the former, it is more difficult for the soul master to engrave the laws himself, because a normal soul master will comprehend the power of the laws only after becoming a Titled Douluo, and soul rings are only needed by soul masters who have not yet become Titled Douluo or soul masters with twin martial souls.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, no god would be willing to create such a soul ring whose upper limit could reach that of a ferocious beast or even a million years. It would be too much of a waste of divine power. Moreover, it would be more efficient to keep the energy for one's own use if one had the energy to create such a divine soul ring.
Only a deity like the Dragon God, who had long since fallen and retained unimaginable trust in his successors, would create such a thankless divine soul ring!
And Xu Xingyu did not disappoint the Dragon God's expectations. Although his soul power might not have reached the level worthy of a title, due to his god-level blood, mental strength and Dragon God bloodline, Xu Xingyu had come into contact with the power of laws long ago and had his own understanding of it.
Therefore, completing the engraving on the spirit ring is only a matter of time! ! ! !
