CH 116
As he said that, the Purple Black Spears stabbed the completely restrained Vampiric Demon Spider's eyes and mouth!
The giant spider roared and screeched in pain as the poison of the Majesty's Purple Black Peony invaded its huge body.
As it shook and trembled sharply in the purple black vines tight hold, the life began to fade away from it before it stopped moving completely and just hanged by the purple black vines.
Ali smirked as he lowered the corpse of the Vampiric Demon Spider down and placed it on the ground :'it's true, huthousand years old!
THAT, was his limit. So the age limit of the soul ring that he could have absorbed was forty thousand years old as well.
But now, the soul rings that Eve and Altair were absorbing s all thanks to the soul skill: Invincibility. It's a really broken skill which will just bind the target till my soul power runs out or I stop using it.
Now, let's absorb this fifty thousand year soul ring and see what surprise it holds. But before that, let's free these soul master.'
He controlled some purple black vines to gently take the few soul masters in the web and lower them to the ground before cutting the web with his metal manipulation and ultimate fire.
After he made the heated dagger disappear, he looked at the unconscious bodies of the few soul master on the ground :'the poison in the webs should keep them knocked out for a few hours. I can finish absorbing this soul ring till then.
Heh, but before that, let's check the body of this soul beast. Who knows, today is my lucky day, maybe I will get another soul bone.'
As he thought with a chuckle, he walked to the giant corpse before he deadpanned at the light that was glowing on the head of the soul beast :'and another one. It's another head soul bone as well...
Sigh, fuck it, it's to my advantage anyway. I will give this head soul bone to Yuehua. It will be of great use to her and will help her breakthrough into titled douluo level along with erlong.'
After creating a dagger again and heating it up with his ultimate flame, he cut open the head of soul beast before taking the soul bone and storing it in his Majesty's ring.
Ali then summoned some purple black vines as he completely blocked off the entrance into the open cave before sitting down in lotus position and starting to absorb the soul ring.
Previously, the reason for why he went through so much difficulty to absorb the fifty thousand year old rings of the Golden Iron Gorilla and Charming Illusion Fox was because his soul ring age limit was forty thousand years old.
But now that his five rings have doubled in age and reached twenty thousand year old rings and the add up has become 100'000 years old, his soul ring age limit has also become 100'000 years old!
Meaning that he didn't have any difficulty in just normally absorbing this soul ring after obliterating the soul shock with a snort of his dragon form.
As Ali continued to absorb the soul ring, hours quickly passed as the day completely turned into night.
This time, Ali didn't need to worry about blowing up, so absorbing the soul ring was a lot more smoother than before.
He also finished it earlier than before as he slowly opened his eyes and sighed with satisfaction.
After all, as said before, every new soul ring exponentially strengthens the soul master, and he got another 100'000 year soul ring!
The ability to have double the normal number of soul rings is the reason why twin martial souls are regarded as such a heavenly gift. And Ali? He had four martial souls! He was an unparalleled genius!
Ali sank into his ocean of consciousness as he took a look at his soul skills before he smirked in satisfaction :'just as I thought, it's that soul skill.
2nd soul ring's 1st skill: Vampiric. Also an enhancing type soul skill which gives me the ability to absorb the soul power of anyone who is in contact with my purple black vines.
Heh, this soul skill took away the only weakness of my 1st soul skill: Invincibility. The fact that the more damage was delivered to the purple black vines meant more soul power getting consumed was an annoying thing.
But now, I can just take away my opponent's soul power to refill my own. This way, it's double the trouble for the opponent.
There's also the 2nd soul ring's 2nd soul skill: Bloodthirsty Seeds. Basically, like San'qe's 2nd soul skill: parasite, my purple black vines leave behind seeds on the targets.
But these seeds don't have paralysis effect, they have something far more terrifying. As the name of the soul skill suggests, once this soul skill is activated, the seeds pierce the target's body and absorb their blood to grow and bind them!
And not just that, the more blood these bloody purple black vines absorb, the bigger, stronger and tougher they become!
But this soul skill will cause some misunderstanding, so I better not use it in the upcoming tournaments.
Those people still haven't woken up. The paralytic poison is worthy of being a fifty thousand years old soul beast's poison.
And now, I have also got that poison in my Majesty's Purple Black Peony, and I will be making extremely good use of it.'
Ali stood up with a low grunt as he tilted his head and cracked his neck before dusting himself off.
As he stretched a little, his eyes landed on the soul beasts that were still caught up in the spider web :'hmmm... I'm here anyway, might as well check out what those soul beasts are. Who knows, maybe one of them will be suitable as well.'
He released his Majesty's Purple Black Peony once again as the blood red soul rings circled around him.
There was a change in the Majesty's Purple Black Peony this time. After absorbing the soul ring, the eyes of the Peony's snakes had gotten a red color.
Now, the color of their eyes was dark purple, blue and red. The Peony itself had also gotten some red color here and there beside the dark purple.
Ali summoned a few purple black vines from the ground once again before lowering the soul beasts as well.
After cutting open the webs with the Purple Black Spears, Ali looked at each and every one of the soul beasts.
But none of the soul beasts were suitable for his martial soul. But when he freed the last soul beast, he smiled with an excited glint in his eyes :'this is... Pit Demon Spider Emperor.
If I remember right, San'qe got his group control soul skill from this soul beast. This guy is only a thousand years old, but with how good my luck is this time around, I may also gain that ability.'
Ali didn't waste any more time as he immediately killed the Pit Demon Spider Emperor which just screeched and twitched before dying.
As the purple soul ring rose on tope of the corpse of the spider, Ali immediately sat down with a sigh :"my luck in this trip is really good, but I'm kinda mentally tired from absorbing so many soul rings."
As Ali began to completely devour the soul power inside the soul ring, it took him only an hour before he finished absorbing the soul skill.
After opening his eyes, Ali closed them again as he went into his ocean of consciousness straight away to take a look at his new soul skill.
He opened his eyes as he smirked :'good, I seriously got it. 3rd soul ring 1st soul skill: Purple Black Cage.
Just like San'qe's soul skill in the original series, this soul skill summon a cage of purple black vines around my target in less than a second.
This soul skill is also a group control soul skill, so I can encage every opponent in the field. This soul skill also seems to use a low amount of soul power, so it's really useful.'
As he got up, he conjured a ball of flame in his hand before he threw it on the Pit Demon Spider Emperor.
And the poor spider that didn't even know how it died completely turned to ashes the moment the ball of flame touched it.
Ali then walked towards the few meters spider before he put it inside his Majesty's ring and then began to walk towards the entrance.
But he stopped when he heard that the soul master are beginning to wake up as one of the young men groaned :"ugh, what happened? Where are we?"
Just before they could see him, Ali changed his hair back to white and took his veil off before disguising his face to his less handsome face.
Another man. Who seemed to be older than 30 groaned as well as he looked at the young man :"young master, are you alright? We seem to have been attacked by a soul beast when we were looking for a suitable soul beast to hunt for young miss."
When the three soul master got up and looked around, the extremely beautiful girl suddenly yelled towards Ali :"hey! Who are you?! What happened here?!"
The three soul masters all became alert as they got ready to fight. Hearing the beautiful voice of the young lady, Ali looked back with a curious face.
When he looked back, he saw an extremely beautiful, tall, young girl with a banging body and red hair glaring at him.
The girl also blushed slightly when she saw his handsome face which was still less handsome than his actual face :"didn't you hear me?! What happened here?!"
Ali chuckled before turning around and putting his hands up in a surrender to calm them down :"whoa, lady, relax. I don't think that's an appropriate way to thank someone who saved your lives.
But I will tell you anyway. You seem to have been caught off guard by the decade millennium Vampiric Demon Spider.
But luckily, it didn't decide to kill you immediately and suck your blood dry. It just webbed you up and stored you for later.
And fortunately for you guys, I was passing by when I smelled the intense smell of the blood coming from this cave.
So I decided to take a look and saw that it has captured you. And having nothing else to do, I decided to save you all. You're welcome."
They all looked at each other before the young man looked at Ali with a serious face :"how can we trust your words?"
Ali raised his eyebrow and tightened his lips with an "are you serious?" Face before he pointed at the giant spider web :"unless that giant ass thing doesn't prove my words and all the unconscious soul beasts, then here, the corpse of the Vampiric Demon Spider."
As he said that, he twisted his hand and the giant corpse of the spider appeared beside him with deep holes in its eyes :"see? You believe me now?"
They all looked at each other again before they stood normally and the young man toon a step forward before he bowed a little as he clasped his fists :"thank you, little brother. If you hadn't shown up, we all would have died. My name is Huo Wushuang, may I ask what little brother's name is?"
Ali smiled at the young man before storing the soul beast back in his Majesty's ring :"you're welcome, brother Wushuang. My name is Tang Ali, it's nice to meet you. Were you in the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a soul ring?"
The young girl who seemed to be Huo Wushuang's sister snorted :"why else would be here otherwise?"
Ali raised his eyebrows in amusement as Huo Wushuang sighed helplessly :"Huo Wu, you shouldn't be so rude brother Ali who saved our lives."
