Douluo: Wuhun Longyuan Sword, I have become the scabbard

Chapter 181 Evil Eye Soul Bone
Ding Quan felt a surge of malevolent soul power rushing into his brain, causing his spiritual sea to tremble violently.

A sharp pain shot through his brain, and Ding Quan felt as if his mind had been struck by a sledgehammer, leaving his brain completely blank.

Ding Quan's consciousness arrived at the Sea of ​​Spirit, his spiritual power surged wildly, and the sharp sword light on the Dragon Abyss Sword suddenly appeared, slashing towards a huge evil eye that was about to invade his Sea of ​​Spirit.

Under the golden light emanating from the Dragon Abyss Sword, the soul of the Evil Eye was directly erased by Ding Quan. However, the aura of destruction and violence within the Evil Eye Tyrant's soul directly impacted Ding Quan's mind.

Ding Quan felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and his mental energy surged. It took him a while to calm down.

The mental power of this 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant exceeded Ding Quan's expectations. His own mental power was almost the same as itss. He possessed a 100,000-year-old golden dragon skull, which gave him extremely high resistance to mental attacks. Yet, he was still affected in this way.

Ding Quan's spiritual sea trembled, and the golden dragon emitted a golden aura. The ultimate power of metal quickly dissolved the violent aura in Ding Quan's spiritual sea.

"The intensity of this mental attack has surpassed that of ordinary ferocious beasts, but it underestimated your mental strength."

Xue Di landed on the golden dragon's head and looked at Ding Quan as he regained his senses.

"What a terrifying mental attack! I never expected it would have this trick up its sleeve." Ding Quan watched as the mental sea gradually calmed down, and the Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand returned to the center of the mental sea once more.

"The Evil Eye Tyrant is inherently violent and cruel, so it's not surprising that it did such a thing."

"The quality of this spirit ring doesn't seem like that of a 100,000-year spirit ring." Ding Quan felt some discomfort in his body. Although it wasn't strong, a 100,000-year spirit ring shouldn't exert such great pressure on him. Ding Quan's consciousness swept over the Titan Giant Ape Er Ming, which was very close to the Suanni. He had only sensed its spirit power when he absorbed its spirit bone, but it was far from being this powerful.

Titan Ape Erming is an ancient mythical beast, no less powerful than the Evil Eye Tyrant.

“Even 100,000-year soul rings vary in strength. This Evil Eye Tyrant has clearly progressed a long way in the past 100,000 years. Give it some more time, and it will surely become a ferocious beast.”

Xue Di said in a deep voice, "The energy of this Evil Eye Tyrant's soul ring is comparable to that of some ferocious beasts. If it were an ordinary Title Douluo, they might not be able to withstand the mental attack just now."

"Yeah."

Ding Quan had no doubt that the Evil Eye Tyrant could become a ferocious beast. Indeed, as Xue Di said, the span within a 100,000-year soul ring was quite enormous, with a difference of over 90,000 years between the strong and weak ones.

"This spirit ring might give you a surprise, but you should be careful."

"Know!"

Ding Quan's consciousness withdrew from the Sea of ​​Spirit. Without the soul-shaking effect of the Evil Eye Tyrant, absorbing the energy of the 100,000-year soul ring would pose no danger.

This Evil Eye Tyrant did not use the method of soul sacrifice. The energy in the soul ring had to be borne by the soul master himself. If it were any other quasi-soul douluo, they would only face death. But Ding Quan had planned to absorb a ferocious beast that had been around for 200,000 years.

Outside, Ding Quan had already deactivated his Martial Soul True Body. On his seven soul rings—two yellow, one purple, three black, and one red—an equally vibrant red soul ring slowly descended to the outer edge of Ding Quan's seven soul rings.

This 100,000-year-old soul ring is filled with a violent aura and exudes an evil energy, containing a considerable amount of power.

Ding Quan now possesses a soul core. Under the suppression of immense soul power, the energy within this soul ring, though powerful and causing some ripples, quickly subsided.

Just as Ding Quan was absorbing the energy of this spirit ring, a tremendous change also occurred in his sea of ​​spirit, which became even larger.

Compared to Soul Saint, the biggest improvement for a Soul Douluo is the use of mental power. In about half a year, Ding Quan's strength reached the level of a Quasi-Soul Douluo. At that time, his mental power increased significantly. His head soul bone and the Xuanhuo Eye external soul bone both entered the 100,000-year stage, which greatly increased his mental power.

Now that the Contra realm has been broken, Ding Quan's mental strength has increased once again.

Ding Quan's previous surge in mental strength might have been due to the effects of the two great soul bones, but this time the increase in mental strength is a complete enhancement of the base amount.

A spiritual force even stronger than that of the Evil Eye Tyrant erupted from Ding Quan's body. At the same time, as if sensing the pull of the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant's soul ring, the body of the Evil Eye Tyrant, which had already fallen to the ground and lost its breath, actually emitted a powerful spiritual force and soul force in everyone's eyes.

"This is a soul bone!"

"An eye?" Vera watched as a giant eye appeared on the corpse of the Evil Eye Tyrant, and then flew directly towards Ding Quan.

"The soul bone is the eye, not the head soul bone."

"Another eye-type external soul bone? This Evil Eye Tyrant is really strange."

"Quan now has three eyes, all of which are external soul bones. What about his current mental strength?"

"The Evil Eye Tyrant is a spirit-type spirit beast. This spirit ring and spirit bone will definitely enhance Quan's spirit power. Now, Quan's spirit power may already be enough to condense the next spirit core."

Feeling the immense mental pressure emanating from Ding Quan, Ling Du felt a weight settle on his body.

Even Ling, who possesses mental attributes, felt a sense of oppression from Quan's mental power.

With such powerful mental strength, condensing a second soul core might indeed be possible.

As for the powerful energy generated by the two soul cores, Ding Quan, who now possesses the Soul Bone Fusion Technique, should be able to withstand it.

In the very short time it took for the group to speak, the evil eye tyrant's eye merged directly into Ding Quan's brow, and a dark blue vertical eye appeared on his forehead.

To everyone else, it actually looked somewhat harmonious, without giving off a strange feeling. On the contrary, it made Ding Quan's handsome face look somewhat sinister.

The soul bone fused extremely quickly, completely integrating into Ding Quan's brow in just a few breaths. Then, his vertical eye closed, leaving an inconspicuous dark blue mark on his brow.

After Ding Quan absorbed the soul bone, the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant Soul Ring landed directly on Ding Quan's Dragon Abyss Sword.

A terrifying aura appeared in this area, accompanied by a terrifying pressure of mental and spiritual power.

"Level 85! That's a huge improvement!"

As the sacrificial magnetic field dissipated, Ding Quan stood up, his eight soul rings flashing in succession, before his aura gradually subsided.

His soul power actually reached level 85. Considering his current total soul power, this improvement exceeded his expectations.

Although he had absorbed the left leg bone of a hundred thousand years ago, that leg bone only barely allowed him to reach level eighty. After absorbing the left arm bone of the Titan Giant Ape, the soul power in that soul bone might not even be enough to provide him with a full level one soul power.

My soul power has now jumped four levels. Although I stayed at level 80 for nearly half a year, the soul ring and soul bone of this 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant have greatly improved my strength and saved me a lot of cultivation time.

"You'd better experience the soul skill you've acquired first; I'm sure it will surprise you."

Just as Ding Quan was surprised, he realized that Xue Di had already adapted to the expanded spiritual sea, after all, this had happened several times before.

"That's really surprising!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Quan sensed the skill of the spirit ring and revealed a hint of surprise. The spirit skill provided by the Evil Eye Tyrant exceeded his expectations.

Ding Quan focused his mental energy, sensed his surroundings, and couldn't help but laugh. "It seems you can now sense the existence of space."

"There is another vague existence."

“That’s true. You’ve sensed the power of spacetime before, and this Evil Eye Tyrant already possesses the power of spacetime.”

"The Light of Spacetime of the Evil Eye Tyrant must have been touched by its incredibly powerful spiritual energy, and my spiritual energy has reached that level now as well." Ding Quan sensed an invisible force around him and the space he was in, and he understood.

Only a small number of the Evil Eye Tyrants possess the skill "Light of Time and Space," and those who possess this skill are among the most outstanding in terms of mental strength.

Putting aside his thoughts, Ding Quan gripped the Dragon Abyss Sword and looked at his eighth soul ring. Although he hadn't absorbed a ferocious beast soul ring, the skill it provided was quite good and extremely suitable for him.

"Izumi, how is it?"

The magnetic field disappeared, and Ling and Wei'er came over. Seeing Ding Quan's expression, they knew that the soul skill provided by this soul ring must be extraordinary.

"This spirit ring provides two skills: a Thorn Aura and a Destruction Aura. In addition, I am currently unsure of the extent of my mental strength."

"Judging from the name, it should be one for defense and one for offense." The enhancement of mental strength is natural, as this 100,000-year soul ring comes from the Evil Eye Tyrant, which has a mental attribute.

"The Thorn Aura greatly enhances my defensive capabilities, similar to Vera's Evil God's Protection. Once released, it persists, reducing the damage I receive by half and returning the other half. As for the Destruction Aura, it enhances the power of my attacks."

It's no wonder Ding Quan was surprised; these two skills are extremely powerful.

"No wonder this Evil Eye Tyrant is so powerful, and my attacks became less effective afterward. It's because of this skill." Vera's eyes lit up upon hearing this. Although the Thorn Aura couldn't block all damage like her Evil God's Protection, it could return half of it to the opponent, something she didn't have.

Moreover, Ding Quan's first soul skill can also reduce damage. Now, with this skill added, although Ding Quan is not a defensive soul master, his defense can indeed be compared with that of a pure defensive soul master.

As for the Aura of Destruction, considering the terrifying rays of the Evil Eye Tyrant, the attack power provided by this soul skill is also extraordinary.

"Where is the soul bone?"

"The Soul Bone skill didn't surprise me."

"The Light of Time and Space?"

"That's right, there's another soul skill, Mental Control."

Ding Quan sensed the soul skill of the Evil Eye Tyrant soul bone; such a skill was indeed the ability of the Evil Eye Tyrant.

The skill of mind control can actually control other people's minds and consciousness. If one's will is not strong enough, one may even become a puppet.

As expected of the Evil Eye Tyrant, such power is indeed terrifying, no wonder there is a limit to its number.

"Quan, where do we go next?" Everyone's eyes turned to Ding Quan.

Suddenly, a voice came from Ding Quan's spiritual sea.

"We are searching for the other evil-eyed tyrants from the past 100,000 years!"

"Quan, what do you want?" Ling saw Ding Quan's expression. The Evil Eye Tyrant's pure spiritual attribute made its soul bone extremely powerful in amplifying spiritual power.

“That’s right. The soul bones dropped by such soul beasts are mostly skulls, and there are no other head soul bones more suitable for you.”

Although the Evil Eye Tyrant is a giant eyeball, the probability of obtaining its eye soul bone is very low. Most of the soul bones obtained are head soul bones, and they are the best among the skulls.

“Indeed!” Vera’s eyes lit up. The power of the Evil Eye Tyrant was beyond doubt. Such a soul bone would greatly enhance strength, and the amplification of spiritual power was extremely important.

There are 100,000-year-old soul beasts with lightning attributes on this Sun and Moon Continent. My current strength is still a bit short of level 80. If I absorb another head soul bone, it won't be long before I reach level 80.

The group stopped and headed towards the location on the map where the Evil Eye Tyrant might appear.

Previously, the 200,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant and his companions were difficult to deal with, but now that Ding Quan has absorbed his eighth spirit ring, dealing with an ordinary 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant is no longer a threat.

His gaze turned to the core area of ​​the Evil Soul Forest, then he looked away. The location of the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant wouldn't be as deep as that of the 200,000-year-old being; instead, it would wander around. He should be able to encounter it in the mixed zone. Hunting them wouldn't attract the attention of the Tyrant Overlord in the short term.

Poseidon Island.

Poseidon suddenly stood up and appeared in front of the Temple of Poseidon in an instant.

A golden light emanated from the statue of the sea god, and many sea spirit masters on Seagod Island lowered their heads in reverence upon seeing this strange sight.

Then the light of the sea god was released, and Poseidon, as the high priest of the island of the sea god, felt the divine message conveyed by the sea god statue, bowed respectfully to the sea god statue, and then disappeared into the sea god temple.

"senior!"

“Not bad, you should be able to complete the first test within this time.” Poseidon appeared on the Sea God's Staircase, the place where Tang San and his companions took their first test.

The first test for everyone who joins Poseidon Island is actually here, but the difficulty varies from person to person.

Tang San, whose strength has now reached the level of a near-Soul Douluo, faces an even more difficult test than in the original story. However, his strength has also increased significantly, and he now possesses even more Soul Bones.

"We must thank you for arranging for someone to bring us food, otherwise we wouldn't have made such a fast progress. May I ask what brings you here, senior?"

"I came here to give you this."

Two golden beads appeared in Poseidon's hand, and then floated directly towards Tang San and Dai Mubai who was standing next to him.

"Could this be!?"

“A divinely bestowed spirit ring is something every spirit master at the Black level or above can obtain when they first reach a bottleneck. Absorbing it will allow you to acquire the skills most suitable for you, and its age is the limit you can absorb,” Poseidon explained. “You can absorb it immediately, or like Hailong, absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring when you advance to the Title Douluo level. It will not dissipate.”

"Understood, Senior." Dai Mubai accepted the bead. Sea Dragon Douluo was the leader of the Seven Sacred Pillars of Seagod Island, precisely because he possessed a 100,000-year soul ring that every soul master dreamed of.

"A 100,000-year spirit ring?" Tang San looked at the golden bead in his hand.

The first of the Nine Trials of the Sea God was indeed a great help. My physical strength increased significantly during this period. I wonder if my current physical strength can withstand a 100,000-year soul ring.

"Also, Tang San, you need to speed up your assessment progress, otherwise the subsequent assessments will be even more difficult. In one of your upcoming tests, you'll face a very strong opponent! In fact, a terrifying one!"
