Peerless Tang Sect: God Emperor Haotian

After the Titan Ape remained motionless, Li Mu immediately asked Ye Sen to step forward.

Upon hearing this, Ye Sen did not hesitate. As he stepped forward, a dark light appeared in his palm, and then he struck with his hammer, completely ending the Titan Giant Ape's last chance of life.

Titan Ape, dead!

Looking at the corpse of the Titan Ape, Ye Sen couldn't help but think of the Titan Ape Erming, who was currently in the Haotian Sect.

Li Mu sighed, "This guy is unlucky. If it had grown up smoothly with its bloodline, it would have had a great chance of becoming a beast king in the Star Dou Great Forest, and might even have joined the ranks of the top ten ferocious beasts. It's just a pity that God didn't want to give it that opportunity."

Ye Sen was well aware of the law of the jungle, and this law was significantly more brutal in the world of soul beasts. Some super soul beasts that hadn't truly grown up not only failed to inspire awe in other soul beasts, but instead became prey for some.

The reason is simple: devouring these super soul beasts can strengthen their own bloodline, allowing them to go further on the path of cultivation.

The reason this century-old Titan Ape suffered such severe injuries is most likely due to this, which is why it fled to the relatively safe outer area for refuge after being seriously injured. Unfortunately, it then encountered its own group again.

Li Mu urged, "Spirit rings have a time limit, stop dawdling and absorb them quickly."

"it is good."

Ye Sen nodded, and then immediately began absorbing the nutrients.

The bright yellow spirit ring came into view, and Ye Sen could not hide his excitement.

Five hundred years old, from the Titan Ape, the king of the forest. From any perspective, this spirit ring is absolutely top-tier for him!

Ye Sen summoned the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, and the next moment, the Titan Giant Ape's Soul Ring seemed to be drawn to it, flashing and attaching itself to the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.

With the influx of external energy, the Haotian Hammer also quietly underwent changes.

At that moment, Ye Sen first heard a low roar filled with resentment, and then a powerful and domineering soul force surged into his body through his meridians.

The throbbing pain in his meridians made Ye Sen secretly glad that he had taken whale glue in advance; otherwise, he might not have been able to successfully absorb this soul ring.

Ye Sen dared not be careless and immediately began the process of absorbing and refining the substance.

As Ye Sen began absorbing the spirit ring, Jiang Nannan stood guard vigilantly to the side, her fists clenched, silently chanting in her heart, "Now is the time for me to protect Brother Ye Sen!"

As for Li Mu, he was fiddling with the corpse of the Titan Ape.

About half an hour later, Ye Sen slowly opened his eyes and then exhaled a heavy breath.

At the same time, the aura of the bright yellow soul ring from the five-hundred-year-old Titan Giant Ape completely merged with Ye Sen's Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, and a significantly increased soul power fluctuation erupted within Ye Sen's body.

"The Titan Giant Ape has a powerful bloodline, and I was a little worried that you wouldn't be able to absorb it, but thankfully you're alright. How are you feeling now?" Li Mu asked with a smile.

"Very good, I can feel that this spirit ring has greatly improved me." Ye Sen replied with a smile.

"This soul skill comes from the Titan Giant Ape, so it must be quite powerful. What are its effects?" Li Mu asked curiously.

Ye Sen explained, "This soul skill is called Titan's Power, which mainly amplifies my strength and the hardness of the Clear Sky Hammer."

Upon hearing this, Li Mu personally tested it for Ye Sen. He concluded that Ye Sen's strength more than doubled before and after using the soul skill, and the Clear Sky Hammer became even harder and more destructive. Judging from these effects, the amplification effect of the Titan's Power, a hundred-year soul skill, is no less than that of top-tier thousand-year soul rings.

Perhaps only a spirit ring from a super spirit beast can rival it.

"There's another good thing," Li Mu suddenly said.

Ye Sen subconsciously looked over and saw Li Mu taking something.

A flash of light appeared, and it seemed that Li Mu had produced a glowing black gem in his hand. When Ye Sen looked closely, he immediately noticed something was wrong.

The gem-like object was extremely strange in shape; it wasn't a normal square or circle, but almost like a human hand, with clearly defined five fingers. It also emitted an extremely domineering fluctuation of soul power, and the aura felt very familiar to Ye Sen.

"Titan Ape?"

"Soul bone?"

Ye Sen was suddenly taken aback.

Upon hearing this, Li Mu immediately glanced at Ye Sen with some surprise. He hadn't expected that Ye Sen would recognize the soul bone that Jiang Nannan hadn't recognized at a single glance.

"You have a good eye, kid. Looks like you were paying attention in class at the academy. This is indeed a soul bone, and an extremely rare external soul bone at that."

"External soul bone?" Ye Sen feigned doubt.

Li Mu explained, "There are six regular soul bones: the head, torso, and limbs. Soul bones that are not part of these six parts are collectively called external soul bones. Soul bones are precious, but external soul bones are even more precious. This is because they improve along with the soul master's growth, and therefore do not have a time limit."

"Simply put, don't be fooled by the fact that this soul bone is only 500 years old at present. It may even grow into a top-tier soul bone comparable to a 100,000-year-old soul bone in the future."

Ye Sen tentatively asked, "Grandpa Dean, what do you mean?"

Li Mu laughed and scolded, "You little rascal, how could you not know what I mean?" Three months of contact had given him a much better understanding of Ye Sen.

Although Ye Sen was only six years old, he lacked the childish mischief typical of his age. Instead, he possessed a composure and maturity more typical of adults. His battle with the Lightning Sable two days prior was the best proof of this. Compared to Jiang Nannan's panicked helplessness, Ye Sen was the complete opposite.

Ye Sen accepted the soul bone from Li Mu and said earnestly, "A drop of kindness deserves a spring of gratitude. Grandpa Dean, I will always remember your kindness to me."

Li Mu nodded in satisfaction, then reminded Jiang Nannan, who was standing beside him, "Nannan, you must not tell anyone that your brother Ye Sen has a soul bone, otherwise it will put him in danger."

"Um."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nannan immediately nodded in agreement.

His innocent little face, coupled with his extremely serious expression, instantly gave him an incredibly cute appearance. It even caused the two men to unconsciously lower their guard considerably.

Ye Sen trusted Jiang Nannan completely. After preparing himself mentally, he began absorbing the soul bone.

Unlike absorbing soul rings, which has a clear time limit, absorbing soul bones is not a problem. Normally, even a one-ring soul master can absorb soul bones produced by ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

However, soul bones also have a difficulty that soul rings do not have, namely, the bloodline of soul beasts.

Soul rings are the manifestation of a soul beast's cultivation energy.

Soul bones, on the other hand, are more of a convergence of bloodlines.

Some top-tier soul beasts produce soul bones containing the essence of their own bloodline. To successfully fuse a soul bone, the soul master must first be able to withstand this powerful bloodline force. If they cannot withstand it, the fusion will fail. The consequences of this are far beyond the capacity of an ordinary soul master to bear.

Ye Sen was quite confident about this.

First, the attributes of the Haotian Hammer are extremely compatible with those of the Titan Ape, so there shouldn't be too much resistance.

Secondly, he is a Soul Master with twin martial souls.

Thirdly, there's the confidence that comes with being a time traveler...
