Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 562 Divine Item - External Soul Bone Set

"Failed?"

"Are you planning to give up?"

"The Evil Eye Ruler asked in surprise."

In her heart, however, she was secretly praying, "Thank goodness Han Tao failed, otherwise my soul bone would be gone."

"Yes, it failed!"

Han Tao did not deny it: "So, I plan to completely abandon it!"

"It would be easier to evolve by sacrificing another Blue Silver Grass to create an Eye Bone."

The Evil Eye Ruler remained silent.

It never expected that Han Tao would flip the table.

—Since they won't let me modify it, then I won't modify it. I'll just abandon it and get a new one.

"Etc., etc!"

"I know how to modify it, I know, please don't strip it away!"

Han Tao waved his hand and smiled nonchalantly: "Yeah, it's all the same!"

Whether you're willing to help me or not is irrelevant!

"In any case, I will obtain a third eye bone belonging to the Blue Silver Clan."

"I'm willing to help you, I'm very willing to help you, there's no difficulty whatsoever!!" the Evil Eye Overlord said firmly.

Its will and soul, guiding its "third eye bone," lead it to transform into the Blue Silver Clan.

"Well then, thank you very much!" Han Tao said politely.

Two days later,
The Evil Eye Soul Bone has transformed into the "Blue Silver Eye".

"The Blue Silver Soul Bone possesses an advantage!"

"I can use the primal power of the Blue Silver Clan to arbitrarily increase the age of my soul bones, something the Evil Eye does not possess."

With a wave of the blue-silver scepter, the vast blue-silver essence, like wind and clouds gathering within the "eye bone," elevates its age to 100 million years.

The Evil Eye Overlord breathed a sigh of relief: "No wonder."

"You insist on transforming the Evil Eye Soul Bone into the Blue Silver Eye; such a terrifying ability can only be possessed by the Blue Silver Clan."

"The Blue Silver Grass in your hands is truly terrifying!"

Faced with its compliment, Han Tao smiled broadly and said, "Of course!"

"However, the age limit is not satisfactory to me. Besides the age limit of the soul bone, the quality of the soul bone is even more important!"

"The Blue Silver Eyes are just a hair's breadth away from being divine!"

The Evil Eye Overlord smiled reassuringly: "You have mastered it!"

"Nothingness is its final piece of the puzzle!"

Han Tao nodded slightly.

Shadows, accompanying the body from side to side, are like opportunistic wanderers.

"The demon has granted me the power of 'etherealization'!"

"Now, I will imbue the Blue Silver Eye with ethereal power, completing the final quality upgrade!"

The shape of the eyes is too small to bear the pressure of the soul and spiritual power, nor can it withstand the immense and profound perception. Therefore, "nothingness" and "illusion" are the necessary options for the evil eyes!

The blue-silver eyes slowly dimmed, disappearing without a trace.

Han Tao suddenly looked up: "Hmm?"

"what happened to you?"

Seeing Han Tao's startled expression, Ning Rongrong glanced at him sideways.

"Once it evolves, it will be able to strengthen its physique!"

"Really?" Ning Rongrong feigned surprise.

Although the third eye bone is part of the external soul bone system, it enhances mental strength but cannot enhance physical strength.

It was precisely because of this that, with five basic soul bones and five external soul bones, Han Tao's physical strength only increased by 900. However, the moment the "ethereal" energy was entrusted to the soul bones, all of this was overturned.

"Ten million-year-old soul bones, increasing physique by 1000 points—this is the upper limit of this world!"

Han Tao's expression was fervent, so Ning Rongrong blinked and asked, "Why?"

"Why couldn't I strengthen my physique before, but I can after achieving etherealization?"

Pausing, hesitant, Han Tao offered his own guess: "Perhaps it's because it reversed its own limitations?"

"So, it can give me an extra bonus—100 points in physique?" Ning Rongrong nodded slightly, then turned to look at Han Tao's soul ring: "Evil Eye Overlord, what do you think?"

"No, no, no, Han Tao's guess is wrong!"

It immediately retorted: "The third eye bone does not have its own body, so it cannot enhance physical strength."

"The birth of 'etherealization' means that it has mastered a new body, and the increase in physical strength comes from this."

Ning Rongrong swayed quietly.

She quietly pondered how to obtain "nothingness" and "etherealization" so that she could also gain the extra 100 points of physical strength.

The birth of the "Ghost" martial soul also has a special significance.

"Illusionization" and "Martial Soul True Body" are not the full range of abilities of "ghosts".

"What else?" Ning Rongrong was pondering.

He smeared ink on his father's clothes and wrote his less-than-elegant handwriting.

Within the Starry Sky Forest, a Blue Silver Grass slowly began to take shape.

"This is... Ghost Vine?"

"No, it's the Ghost King Vine, it's Steward Aud's martial soul!"

Ning Rongrong clearly recognized it.

Han Tao smiled slightly, tugged at Ning Fengzhi's clothes, and peeled off the anti-ink coating.

This was Ning Fengzhi's deliberate plan. Of course he knew what kind of crazy things his daughter would do, but how could these coatings escape Han Tao's perception?
"Yes!"

"Ghost King Vine is the superior martial soul of Ghost Vine."

"And the 'Ghost' Martial Soul can guide the Ghost King Vine to continue evolving, reaching its unique ultimate form!"

Just as Rongrong was smearing and acting strangely.

Under the guidance of Han Tao's "Ghost" martial spirit, the "Ghost King Vine" on the ground has ushered in its next stage of evolution.

Advanced Martial Soul, Top-Tier Martial Soul, Ultimate Martial Soul!

At the same time, the "palmar bone position" under Han Tao's blue silver scepter, and the external soul bone of "Ghost Vine Spore", also ushered in its own unique evolution.

—The ultimate soul bone!
"An ultimate soul bone is extremely rare, but it's still a bit short of god-level!"

"I know what it's missing!"

What else could be the puzzle piece for the ghost besides "Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju"?
"After the long years, I have found the answer, and I have discovered the truth!"

"The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum is the answer I evolved from Blue Silver Grass over 4664 days!"

A golden vein suddenly appears on the azure blade of grass, and its species and family undergo a radical change due to some kind of latent transformation.

"Now, the Ghost Vine and the Extraordinary Chrysanthemum have both gathered together!"

"I will eventually be able to evolve this last external soul bone to god-level quality!"

With arms outstretched, the golden chrysanthemum on the left and the dark ghost vine on the right are completing their fusion according to the profound theory.

"The stillness of Yin and Yang is the power that freezes space and time!"

"It is also the constant power of the scepter that makes my scepter firm, stable, and indestructible!"

The blue-silver scepter remains unchanged.

Gems of faith, 5x9 vines and bamboo joints, and blue-silver grass patterns alternating in gold and black are exquisitely inlaid on the scepter.

"When reversed, it is the power to obliterate space and time!"

"Using this power means the Blue Silver Scepter will be utterly destroyed."

Under the scepter, everything will vanish.

Ning Rongrong stared at the golden, obscure shadows on the scepter, her expression suddenly turning dejected: "Han Tao."

"Why do I feel like the gap between us is widening?"

Han Tao has already forged his own external soul bone set.

The "Blue Silver Flounder Feather" (wing bone position) was born from Ah Yin's luck; the "Blue Silver Cocoon" (scale bone position) was inspired by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm; and the "Blue Silver Eye" (horn bone position) was recently forged with the assistance of the Evil Eye and fused into the ethereal form.

And referencing the Evil God's Hook, the "Blue Silver Hook Tail" (coccyx position) was obtained through a sacrifice of divine-grade Dark Blue Silver Grass; finally, the "Blue Silver Parasitic Texture" (palpo bone position) was inscribed by the "Ghost" Martial Soul and the "Strange Treasure Sky Chrysanthemum".
"They are all divine-level soul bones, and all of them are millions of years old!"

Han Tao was not overwhelmed by the joy before him, but instead calmed down.

"To draw upon the power of countless faiths, to seek true faith, and to forge the path to godhood is the way to enlightenment."

"Forging basic soul bone sets and external soul bone systems are also indispensable for becoming a god. I have no divine position to inherit, so I must take one step at a time to reach the pinnacle of the world!"

"Among the basic soul bones, I have the right leg bone of the Blue Silver Emperor, the left leg bone of the Blue Silver Demon Emperor, and the blue silver energy-formed torso bone. I still lack the left and right arm bones, and my skull also needs to continue to evolve, and I also need to complete the 'blue silver transformation'."

The path of theoretical exploration is long and arduous.
