Douluo Continent: Sword Named Star, Slaying Gods to Prove the Dao

"You want to become the first spirit ring? Sure! But convincing the Ice Empress still depends on you and the Snow Empress. I killed the Ice Empress, so she probably won't listen to me now," Ning Xingchen said.

Ning Xingchen would be happy to have another martial soul, especially one with the extreme ice attribute like the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, even if it meant not having a godhood.

“I believe you can definitely reach level 100 and become a god. Since the Snow Emperor has recognized you as her master, I will believe in you this once more,” said Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

He couldn't find a reason to refuse, and he had no other choice. Rather than being killed by Ning Xingchen to take his soul ring, he might as well help him, so that there would still be a glimmer of hope for the future.

Not only that, he was also able to save Hyotei, which is one of the most crucial reasons.

"Okay, let's begin!"

After Ning Xingchen finished speaking, he took out the Ice Emperor's soul bone from the soul tool, then broke the seal, and the Ice Emperor's soul was awakened again.

She saw Ning Xingchen, the one who killed her, at first glance.

"You despicable human, I will kill you." His hatred for Ning Xingchen reached its peak, and just then a familiar voice rang out.

"Bingbing, thank goodness your soul is alright."

The one who spoke was naturally Tianmeng-ge. Looking at Bingdi's appearance, Tianmeng-ge swallowed hard.

Normally, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is the food of the Ice Jade Scorpion, which is like the prey falling in love with the hunter.

"Don't call me Bingbing." Bingdi was filled with anger, but she realized that she was in a soul state and could not pose any threat to the human in front of her.

But just as he turned to look at Tianmeng, he saw a familiar figure again.

"Sister Snow Empress, you... how come you're here too? Could it be that you were also... no, you should be alright." Ice Empress carefully examined Snow Empress for a while and came to her own conclusion.

Ning Xingchen entrusted the task of persuading Bingdi to Xuedi and Tianmeng, while he would just assist from the sidelines.

However, Ning Xingchen still gave them enough space, standing far away from Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, waiting for the three of them to discuss it themselves.

Having killed the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion himself, it would be difficult for Tianmeng to persuade him alone; the only variable is the Snow Emperor.

Ning Xingchen waited for about half an hour before they finally reached a conclusion.

Snow Empress, holding Ice Empress's soul bone, came to Ning Xingchen with Tianmeng. Ice Empress, standing beside the soul bone, said, "Are you telling the truth? Are you willing to help us revive in the future? Take us into the God Realm."

Ning Xingchen nodded and said, "I'm willing! Before, you were a soul beast and I was a human soul master, so hunting you was something I had no choice but to do."

Hyotei said, "I understand. Since you have already agreed, I will trust Sister Yuki-tei."

"Okay!" Ning Xingchen nodded.

"Then let's begin," Hyotei said.

"You need to absorb Bingbing's soul bone first," said Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

"can."

Sitting cross-legged on the spot, Ning Xingchen began to absorb the Ice Emperor's soul bone without any hesitation. After he possessed the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul, absorbing ice-attribute soul bones would naturally be no problem for him.

Fortunately, absorbing the Ice Emperor's soul bone didn't take too long; it only took eight days to successfully complete the absorption. However, absorbing the Ice Emperor's soul bone still didn't allow Ning Xingchen's soul power to break through to level 100.

After absorbing the spirit ring, Ning Xingchen got up and stretched, ate some food, and then began to have Tianmeng sacrifice himself.

The sacrifice of Tianmeng saved Ning Xingchen a lot of trouble, and Tianmeng has not had too much energy devoured by the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

So, Tianmeng can still help him improve his soul power; it remains to be seen whether he can reach level 100.

"I'm starting."

After Tianmeng finished speaking, he emitted an icy blue halo and began to merge with Ning Xingchen.

Ning Xingchen was also enjoying all of this; he was much more relaxed during the sacrifice.

As time passed, Ning Xingchen's soul power gradually increased, and the Ice Emperor's martial soul also began to take shape.

On the sixth day after Tianmeng's sacrifice, the Ice Emperor Martial Soul was successfully formed, and at the same time, Tianmeng's Soul Ring began to fuse with the Martial Soul Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.

On the sixty-fifth day after Tianmeng's sacrifice, Ning Xingchen's soul power suddenly surged, and his powerful aura centered on him directly repelled the Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Snow Emperor who were guarding nearby.

"Has Xingchen broken through?" Bone Douluo looked over curiously, since he couldn't see through Ning Xingchen's soul power status at the moment.

"We'll only know when Xingchen wakes up and we ask him," Sword Douluo replied.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. Ning Xingchen successfully fused the spirit ring completely. The first spirit ring of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion was the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's, and it was a golden spirit ring.

Using the ice-attribute Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm as the first soul ring is somewhat wasteful, as it sacrifices the spirit attribute, which is indeed a pity. However, it is all worthwhile.

The biggest benefit was that Ning Xingchen's soul power finally broke through.

"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, and Xue'er, I've reached level 100!" Ning Xingchen said excitedly. He had finally reached level 100.

With a level 100 soul power, wouldn't a godhood be within easy reach?

"Star, congratulations! You've reached level 100 in soul power, making you the number one on the continent," said Sword Douluo.

“That’s right, Star, congratulations,” said Bone Douluo.

"Brother, congratulations," said Xue Di.

The two souls within Xingchen's body, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, also knew this.

"Bingbing, look, Ning Xingchen is level 100."

Tianmeng looked at Bingdi with a smile, but Bingdi didn't give him a friendly look. She just coldly said to Tianmeng, "I'm not blind, how could I not see?"

"Star, what do we do next? Should we continue searching for spirit rings?" Sword Douluo asked.

Ning Xingchen said, "Of course I need to find a spirit ring. My Star Sword is still missing three spirit rings, and my Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul is also missing eight spirit rings. However, I can only find this spirit ring in the far north. As for this Martial Soul, I don't have high requirements. All of them just need to be over 50,000 years old."

In the far north, the Snow Empress knew that there weren't many soul beasts over 100,000 years old. Apart from the Titan Snow Demon King, there were almost none left.

Ning Xingchen wanted to increase the number of spirit rings as soon as possible because of the rewards from the Divine Trial. Tang San's final reward was to increase the age of all spirit rings by 50,000 years. Therefore, spirit rings that were over 50,000 years old could reach 100,000 years in this spirit ring age reward.

"What about the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest? Which one should we kill first?" Bone Douluo asked.

"Let's resolve the issues here in the Star Dou Great Forest first," Ning Xingchen decided.

His current goal is simple: to increase all three martial souls to nine soul rings.

Upon re-entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Ning Xingchen's level 100 mental power could only be described as terrifying. In the blink of an eye, he found a lone ferocious beast.

The Three-Headed Crimson Demon Mastiff, also known as the Crimson King among the Ten Ferocious Beasts, is now over 200,000 years old.

"You're the one," Ning Xingchen said.

Then, with a flash, he arrived at the Red King's side at an extremely fast speed.

"Humans...ah..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ning Xingchen killed him with a single sword strike, and all three heads fell to the ground at the same time.

With his current soul power, he could easily kill this Crimson King.

In the world of Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect, the Crimson King is the protector of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, but Ning Xingchen did not find the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in the vicinity.

"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, Xue'er, I'm still troubling you," Ning Xingchen said.

"Star, don't worry," Bone Douluo said, patting his chest.

Because Ning Xingchen instantly killed the three Crimson Demon Mastiffs, the commotion wasn't too great, and the other ferocious beasts had no idea what was happening here.

So Ning Xingchen quietly absorbed the soul ring.

After his soul power reached level 100, Ning Xingchen absorbed soul rings very quickly. This time, he successfully absorbed the soul rings of the three Crimson Demon Hounds in just ten days.

Next, Ning Xingchen continued hunting ferocious beasts, with his two biggest targets being the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian.

Last time, Di Tian was seriously injured by Ning Xingchen. Ning Xingchen searched around but couldn't find any trace of Di Tian, ​​so he guessed that Di Tian had gone to that space again.

However, with Di Tian, ​​Zi Ji, and Bi Ji absent, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear became Ning Xingchen's target.

……

"Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, it's your turn."

Ning Xingchen stood high in the sky, and below him was none other than Xiong Jun, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear.

At this time, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was a little over 400,000 years old. It seems that it was 470,000 years old during the Douluo Continent II: The Legend of the Condor Heroes era, and now it should be around 410,000 years old. It seems that it has made great progress in these 10,000 years.

However, it never had the chance to go any further.

"Killing me won't be that easy."

It raised its enormous, dark golden claw, gathering all its soul power and strength.

After all, even the Emperor Dragon Claw was defeated, this human is terrifyingly strong, so it only has one chance to strike.

The two colossal claws, seemingly capable of tearing through space, were both aimed at Ning Xingchen.

Ke Ningxingchen stood motionless in front, only using her soul power to condense a huge protective shield.

A loud bang.

Xiong Jun was puzzled. Why didn't this human attack it like it had attacked Di Tian? Instead, it chose to defend itself. Did it look down on it?

The rubble and dust settled, and Ning Xingchen was still standing in the same spot, unharmed, with no apparent change in the ground beneath his feet.

Feeling the level 100 soul power within his body, Ning Xingchen said in a low voice, "The difference between level 99 and level 100 is really not small."

"My turn!"

Ning Xingchen held the Star Sword and slashed out, unleashing a sword aura nearly a hundred meters long. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear not only had a powerful attack, but also considered its defense to be quite good.

what……

A series of tragic roars rang out, and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was immediately cleaved in two by the sword energy. Even the ground was cleaved by this sword, creating a crack one meter wide and at least ten meters deep.

As he watched the spirit ring rise high, Ning Xingchen gathered his spirit power and enveloped it within his body.

With his current soul power, he can take it into his body without absorbing it for the time being.

They then found its soul bone, and to Ning Xingchen's surprise, it wasn't the right leg bone.

It should be noted that Ning Xingchen now only has his right leg without a soul bone, and in theory, this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear should have produced such a soul bone.

The result was not like that at all; it turned out to be a pair of terror claws, and rare external soul bones at that.

However, Ning Xingchen already had a pair of attached soul bones, the ant pincers, in his hands. These soul bones had been nurtured by Ning Xingchen for over ten thousand years.

However, when compared to the pair of ant claws, the ant claws are far inferior.

Is it possible to try separating the external soul bone?

Removing this soul bone with the help of the Sea God's Light shouldn't have much of an impact on me.
