The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 331 External Soul Bone

"What's there to worry about? Look at me, I'm perfectly fine."

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm poked its head out from behind Li Xun's neck: "After Li Xun becomes a god, we will go to the God Realm with him. That will be an endless lifespan!"

"By then, we won't have to worry about that bullshit heavenly tribulation anymore."

Tianmeng overheard Li Xun's conversation with Xue Di, which sparked his own thoughts.

Given the current situation, if Xue Di were to join them, it would be a huge boost for them.

Ice Empress also realized what was happening, but she didn't try to persuade Snow Empress. Compared to the Heavenly Tribulation, this was a huge gamble for her too.

Xue Di still has a chance. Given their relationship and feelings, she doesn't want Xue Di to take any risks when the future is uncertain.

"Let's begin." Hyotei looked at Li Xun, a resolute glint in his eyes.

Now that you've made the decision, don't hesitate or be timid.

"Wait, let me explain the situation to you first."

Seeing that the Ice Emperor was about to perform the sacrifice, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm quickly interrupted: "This time the method is a little different from what I used to do."

"At that time, I sacrificed my second spirit ring as the main spirit ring to become a wisdom spirit ring, and I also sealed 80% of its energy."

Originally, I planned for you to use your excess energy to generate another martial soul for Li Xun as his main spirit ring, but Li Xun felt that having another martial soul would be too cumbersome.

"Then he'll have to suffer more."

"In a moment, I will continuously release the energy sealed within his body, and then use this energy to preserve your soul. However, in return, I will not have the spare power to seal your energy."

"What do you mean?" Hyotei asked nervously, as this concerned her life.

Even Li Xun was quite curious.

"It means your energy will run rampant in his body."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, no longer grinning, became unusually serious: "Besides me, the soul beast that Li Xun has absorbed the most years of is Titan Snow Demon King."

Everyone immediately understood what it meant.

While each major realm of a Soul Master can increase the absorption period of Soul Rings, there is a limit, and the increase is based on each person's physique.

Most Soul Masters only increase their lifespan by a few thousand or tens of thousands of years, while those with better physical attributes and higher levels can increase it by around twenty to thirty thousand years.

It won't be more than 50,000 years at most.

Such a small improvement often means that the Soul Master will desperately squeeze out his potential, and when absorbing Soul Rings, he will approach or exceed the Soul Ring limit in order to expand the upper limit of his physique when advancing.

However, no matter how much his physique improves, there are limits to each realm. Although Li Xun has a physique far superior to that of ordinary soul masters, he can only absorb soul beasts that are 300,000 years old at most.

The Ice Emperor Scorpion's cultivation level of 380,000 years was far too high.

"Why didn't you say so sooner?" Ice Emperor Scorpion's gaze toward Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm gradually turned hostile.

This risk was something that Li Xun and Tianmeng had not mentioned before.

Even Xue Di's gaze changed.

Whether Li Xun can become a god is another matter. If not, at least Hyotei can live inside Li Xun for another hundred years. But if he dies during the sacrifice...

"Tianmeng is right, but it didn't seem to say we would die, did it?"

Seeing the increasingly tense atmosphere, Li Xun smiled and said, "I actually have self-healing abilities. As long as I'm not burst by the energy of the sacrifice, I'll be fine."

"Moreover, Hyotei can fuse the soul bone with me first, which will further enhance my physique. In addition, the soul bone and Hyotei's energy are from the same source, making it easier to absorb."

"Self-healing ability?" Hyotei and Yuki-tei were taken aback.

While they may not possess this ability, it's understandable that some soul beasts might.

The atmosphere suddenly became lively again.

"Which soul bone are you still missing?"

Ice Emperor became interested: "We 100,000-year-old soul beasts will inevitably produce a soul bone, and my cultivation is already close to 400,000 years, which is far more powerful than the soul bones produced by ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beasts."

"Most importantly, I can decide its shape and location." (This is the original meaning, without any alterations.)

"I'm still missing a torso bone and an external soul bone." Li Xun smiled; this was the moment he had been looking forward to the most. "If possible, I want an external soul bone."

Having acquired so many 100,000-year soul rings and soul bones, he has roughly figured out the patterns of 100,000-year soul bones.

If it's just a hunt, the location where the 100,000-year-old soul bone will drop is uncertain. If it's a sacrifice, then there will be locations where the soul master hasn't yet obtained the soul bone.

However, the strength of a soul bone is linked to the soul beast itself. As Bingdi said, a soul beast that is nearly 400,000 years old can determine the position and shape of the soul bone, which is far beyond what a piece of trash like Xiao Wu can compare to.

Li Xun did some quick calculations and realized that, apart from this opportunity and good fortune, the only other sources that could provide him with external soul bones were the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor.

After all, he wasn't familiar with the remaining soul beasts, and getting them to sacrifice themselves was simpler than hunting them down. The reason Xiao Wu was so easily influenced by his illusion to sacrifice herself was because she had heard the story of Ah Yin sacrificing herself for Tang Hao.

However, the Snow Empress is unlikely to be easily persuaded by him, after all, she is different from the Ice Empress. The Ice Empress is nearing her end, while the Snow Empress still has a chance to fight back.

"An external soul bone? That's an opportunity to raise your potential." Hyotei's eyes lit up, showing considerable appreciation.

Among soul bones, the most precious are external soul bones, followed by skull and torso bones.

However, external soul bones are extremely precious and can only be obtained by those with great fortune. Now, however, there is an opportunity; the torso bone can simply hunt other soul beasts.

"To lessen your pain, I will use poison to slightly paralyze you when we fuse the soul bone. Are you ready?" Hyotei raised her beautiful tail hook, looking even more impatient than Li Xun.

"Hold on."

Li Xun found a relatively flat ice surface, sat down cross-legged, and then nodded to the Ice Emperor.

But before he could finish speaking, a dark green tail hook pierced his coccyx, leaving Li Xun momentarily stunned.

So even Hyotei knows about injections?

The moment the thought arose, a piercing pain shot from my body into my brain, and large beads of sweat instantly soaked my clothes—something almost impossible to see in the far north.

Fortunately, Li Xun had been used to pain since childhood, and he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Sword Douluo's eyes flashed with worry upon seeing this, and he held back as he was about to step forward.

"Luckily, Brother still has this." Upon seeing this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm quickly wrapped Li Xun with his remains to prevent him from being exposed to the freezing cold while soaking wet.

At this moment, Hyotei had reached a critical juncture.

She used a secret technique to continuously soften Li Xun's spine, and then a beam of green light shone from his tail, transferring a soul bone wrapped in energy into Li Xun's body.

As streams of energy were injected, Li Xun's spine slowly turned emerald green.

If Li Xun were to absorb the torso bones at this moment, his ribs would also be strengthened.

However, since Hyotei wants to transform into an external soul bone, he must avoid energy leakage.

Click click click—

As energy continued to flow into his spine and soften it, Li Xun's spine, which had been straight since childhood, began to tilt slightly forward, but his powerful self-healing ability pulled him back.
