Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 258 Dragon God and Snake Goddess

"This is... a soul bone?" Ning Mingrui looked at the blue-purple soul bone inside the human-faced demon spider with some curiosity.

They were eight sharp, slender spider legs, like ribs, but they were bluish-purple, as if they were filled with deadly poison.

"It seems that it really is..." Ning Feiliu said, feigning delight. "But a thousand-year-old soul beast can give birth to a soul bone? And it's very likely to be an external soul bone? I'm really quite lucky."

"What is an external soul bone?" Ning Rongrong asked softly at that moment.

Ning Feiliu glanced at her and then said, "External soul bones are different from the six regular soul bones. You can treat them as special soul bones, and their quality will improve as the soul master's cultivation level increases after you absorb them."

"Therefore, externally attached soul bones are naturally extremely rare."

"Of course, it is also because of this nature that many external soul bones rarely appear in front of everyone. Even a hundred-year-old external soul bone is of immeasurable value. People might be willing to auction off a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone for money, but if it is an external soul bone, even if it is a hundred-year-old one, no one would be willing to exchange it for money or other things."

"In short, it's a precious soul bone, second only to a 100,000-year soul bone," Ning Mingrui said with a smile. "Alright, Fei Liu, hurry up and absorb this external soul bone."

He wasn't even slightly envious of the soul bone. This kind of extremely rare soul bone was something Ning Feiliu had obtained by chance, so of course Ning Feiliu should absorb it.

Even if we take a step back and assume that the soul bone he obtained is beneficial to Ning Feiliu, he would not hesitate to give it to her.

After all, Ning Feiliu was his own brother and the future of the sect's direct lineage, so he naturally wanted Ning Feiliu to become stronger.

Ning Feiliu didn't hesitate. He sat down cross-legged on the spot, picked up the external soul bone Eight Spider Spears and pressed them against his back. Then he circulated his soul power to establish a "soul power connection" with the external soul bone Eight Spider Spears. Instantly, the Eight Spider Spears firmly adhered to his back.

He clasped his hands together again, placed them between his feet, closed his eyes, and focused on absorbing the soul bone.

Unlike Xue Di's soul bone, the Eight Spider Spears could not be directly and harmoniously fused with Ning Feiliu, since Xue Di's fusion was a sacrifice.

The eight spider spears naturally resisted Ning Feiliu's soul power, but their resistance was clearly ineffective.

With a slight movement of the immense soul power within Ning Feiliu's body, the Eight Spider Spears seemed to transform into Lü Bu, who had sworn allegiance to Dong Zhuo, and succumbed to his soul power.

Amidst the crackling sounds of bones, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but glance over. Then, she saw the special soul bone of the Eight Spider Spears slowly merge into Ning Feiliu's back, as if it had melted into a purple liquid in a solid-liquid mixture.

After a few minutes, the uniquely shaped external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances, completely merged into Ning Feiliu's body. Ning Feiliu then let out an extremely comfortable sound, "Mmm~~——"

Ultimately, she possesses the cultivation level of a Soul Emperor, and Ning Feiliu's physical attributes and overall abilities are now exceptionally terrifying.

Although the Eight Spider Lances are external soul bones, second only to 100,000-year soul bones in rarity, they are now only 1,000-year-old soul bones and cannot resist Ning Feiliu's absorption at all.

Now that his soul power level is high, he no longer feels any pain or discomfort when absorbing a thousand-year-old soul bone. On the contrary, he now feels only extreme comfort when absorbing soul bones.

"It's ready." Ning Feiliu opened her eyes and said with a smile.

"So fast?" Ning Mingrui and Ning Rongrong were both somewhat surprised.

Shouldn't absorbing a soul bone take a long time?

Especially such a rare soul bone, shouldn't it take a long time to absorb?

How come Ning Feiliu absorbed it so easily, as if it were as simple as eating and drinking?

"Although external soul bones are rare, they are not very strong yet, and it's not too difficult to absorb them," Ning Feiliu said with a smile.

"I see. So, Fei Liu, what kind of improvement did you get after absorbing the external soul bone?" Ning Mingrui asked with a smile.

"Not much improvement...like this!" Ning Feiliu's mind raced, and she said with a smile, "Eight Spider Lances!"

Ning Mingrui and Ning Rongrong could immediately see a faint blue light emerging from behind Ning Feiliu.

Immediately afterwards, they clearly saw that Ning Feiliu's entire spine seemed to be about to emerge from his body, releasing a pale purple light. The purple light was particularly noticeable on the vertebrae that he had just noticed.

Immediately afterwards, the ends of the eight ribs suddenly bulged out from Ning Feiliu's back, forming eight bulges.

In the next instant, eight bulges finally burst out of his body, and eight thick, purple pillar-like objects quickly extended from his back.

Ning Feiliu glanced at the Eight Spider Spears indifferently, and instantly the eight spider legs on his back stretched out to both sides of his body at the same time, shining with a purple light, like eight giant arms protecting his body in the center.

What's somewhat amazing is that the eight spider spears didn't damage his clothes; it was as if they grew out of his clothes.

But Ning Feiliu knew that this soul bone manifestation was not a completely physical existence. It did not grow from the bones in his body, but rather was an energy body. When it manifested, it passed through his clothes and finally turned into a substance similar to a physical object.

Of course, if you really want to tear clothes, an energy body can also achieve that effect.

But what's the point of all this?

However, Ning Feiliu didn't want his clothes to be torn every time he summoned a soul bone. With his current level of control over soul bones, he could freely control the extent of this.

With another thought, the eight spider spears on his back instantly unleashed dozens of attacks as if wielding an arm. The sharp tips of the spears exuded a terrifying aura, and the eight spider spears were clearly poisoned.

However, it is still the venom of the original thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider, so it is definitely not that terrifying.

However, it's not impossible to absorb additional toxins for venomous evolution. Ning Feiliu naturally thought of... her cheap teacher's Jade Scale Snake venom.

Although in the original story, Dugu Bo's poison was not as potent as Tang San's Tang Sect poison, it was still quite deadly.

It can be used to upgrade the Eight Spider Lances.

If Tang San ever gets foolish in the future, I'll give him a good whack!

Tang San is very powerful, but he still needs time and medicinal herbs to detoxify.

Otherwise, without any antidote, he wouldn't have been able to pass Dugu Bo's test in the original story.

Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice.

However, the Eight Spider Spears have limited attack methods. At most, they can be used as an additional attack method when Ning Feiliu uses the three invincible close-combat combinations of Soul-Shattering Mirror, Soul-Shattering Broken King Sword, and Fallen Bright Broken King Sword.

With his current ability to control six different things at once, even with a single mind, he can catch his opponent off guard in close combat.

"You're really amazing," Ning Mingrui said with admiration. "Fei Liu, you've become even stronger, but that's good."

Ning Feiliu smiled slightly and retracted the Eight Spider Lances into her body, appearing no different from before.

Then he continued, pretending to be serious, "This spider's venom is a bit lacking. I need to hunt two more spiders. Let's go and continue."

He actually used the venom of the Human-Faced Demon Spider as a cover; his real purpose was to indiscriminately hunt down the Human-Faced Demon Spiders and obtain the Eight Spider Lances, which originally belonged to Tang San as his external soul bone.

Now, of course, he can't just stop after obtaining the Eight Spider Spears. It would seem obvious that he would go on a killing spree to obtain the external soul bone, the Eight Spider Spears.

Moreover... he felt that since he had already done all this, he might as well acquire more soul fragments from "Dark Harvest".

Ning Feiliu collected over fifty soul fragments after killing the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

His strength has increased greatly now!

That's right, repeatedly torturing and killing the same soul beast allows you to repeatedly harvest soul fragments.

However, although Ning Feiliu was somewhat immersed in the joy of harvesting soul fragments and receiving the significantly enhanced "Dark Harvest," she remained vigilant and always kept a clear head.

He absolutely must not let "Dark Harvest" corrupt his mind.

However... don't let this make you hesitant to use the "Dark Harvest" rune.

Otherwise, why would he go through all that trouble and risk to enter the Killing City to complete his mission?

Why not just leave the "Dark Harvest" rune unused?

That doesn't make sense.

Therefore, Ning Feiliu would use the "Dark Harvest" rune carefully, but she would not abandon it.

"Okay." Ning Mingrui and Ning Rongrong had no doubts and continued to follow Ning Feiliu to hunt the human-faced spider.

Soon, the last two human-faced spiders were also hunted down.

Ning Feiliu then took Ning Mingrui and Ning Rongrong and planned to return to Tiandou City.

After all, there's no point in staying here any longer.

They traveled on and on, but then...

However, they unexpectedly encountered another group of people.

Ning Feiliu, Ning Mingrui, and Ning Rongrong were setting up camp and resting in an open space that day.

After all, Ning Feiliu could keep traveling until she got out.

However, Ning Mingrui and Ning Rongrong obviously couldn't. They were both support-type Soul Masters. Although they had the support of Soul Power, their physical abilities were still inferior to Ning Feiliu's.

Even a normal Soul Master is no match for Ning Feiliu.

After all, he has the Calm and Composed rune, making his endurance incredibly impressive.

Many battle-type Soul Masters cannot match Ning Feiliu in terms of endurance, let alone support-type Soul Masters.

Besides... they can't go without eating, even Ning Feiliu needs to eat.

So they would set up camp and make a fire at dusk to prepare food.

Ning Feiliu was in charge of cooking, while Ning Mingrui and Ning Rongrong helped set up camp, gather firewood, and start a fire.

When they closed their camp and took care of their meals, it turned out to be...

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!!" Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from the air, and then a black soul beast, as fierce as a wolf, charged towards... Ning Rongrong.

It seemed to be running away, but Ning Rongrong, who was setting up camp, happened to be blocking its escape route.

It's obvious that Ning Rongrong, who is only a support-type character, is no match for this soul beast that should be over a thousand years old.

"Ah—!!" She screamed in alarm on the spot, and just as she was about to roll away in a disheveled manner to avoid the charge of the soul beast, she found that it was too late.

"Rongrong!" Ning Mingrui was extremely anxious upon seeing this situation.

But just then...

"Falling Bright! Suppress!" An invisible wave spread out with purplish-black soul power, and then the wolf-like thousand-year-old soul beast instantly lay down on the ground, controlled by the powerful gravity, unable to move.

This was naturally Ning Feiliu's doing. His Samsara Domain and the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon Falling Brightness allowed him to manipulate gravity easily without using soul skills.

Of course, if facing an enemy that is too powerful, simply manipulating gravity may not be enough to control the opponent.

The most powerful ones are Ning Feiliu's soul skills.

Just then, three more whooshing sounds came from the air.

"call out--!"

"call out--!"

"call out--!"

Then three figures appeared in front of Ning Feiliu, Ning Rongrong, and Ning Mingrui, the three siblings.

The three people consisted of two elderly people and one young person, two women and one man, but it was a combination of a young girl and an elderly couple.

The leader was a tall, thin old man who looked to be at least seventy years old, with a full head of white hair.

He held a dragon-headed cane that was over four meters long and was a bright silver color.

The dragon head on the staff is lifelike and looks extremely dazzling.

His face was covered in wrinkles that showed his age, and there were eight spirit rings moving up and down on his body.

Two yellows, three purples, three blacks.

Although his spirit rings were of lower quality, he still had eight spirit rings.

This represents a Soul Douluo level of 80 or above.

Beside him stood an elderly woman who looked to be in her sixties or seventies. Her head of white hair was neatly combed. Although she was not young, she was very energetic. Although she had many wrinkles on her face, her skin was as rosy as a baby's.

His eyes gleamed with a sharp light. He gripped a three-meter-long snake-head cane in his right hand, and his six spirit rings pulsed rhythmically up and down.

Her body hadn't changed, but her spirit rings showed that she had already used her own spirit. Without a doubt, the cane in her hand must be her spirit.

Beside the old woman was a beautiful young girl with short hair that reached her ears. She looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old and wore a neat and tidy outfit that tightly covered her well-developed figure. Her large, dark brown eyes were fixed on the soul beast in front of Ning Feiliu.

She also held a snake-headed cane, but it was shorter than the old woman's, only two meters long, and her spirit rings were only two hundred years old.

"Thank you all for your help in subduing this thousand-year-old purple-gold wolf." The old man said with a smile after seeing Ning Feiliu suppress the soul beast.

"Senior... no need to thank me." Ning Feiliu almost rolled her eyes.

This Contra powerhouse couldn't even keep an eye on a thousand-year-old soul beast; it almost escaped.

That's really embarrassing...

However, he wouldn't speak frankly or say anything that might offend people.

"I wanted to capture this soul beast so my granddaughter could kill it herself, which is why I didn't notice it got away." The elderly man seemed to have sensed Ning Feiliu's thoughts and explained with a smile. Then he added, "I am Long Gong Meng Shu, thank you very much."

"Dragon Lord Meng Shu?! Are you the Dragon Lord Senior?" Ning Mingrui exclaimed in surprise.
