Chapter 221: The Demigod Body

Chapter 221: The Demigod Body

For Du Qianjue, what is most important? Soul skills? No! Attributes are the foundation! All the skills derived from soul rings and soul bones are merely methods to combat enemies before he carves his own path. Only by continuously acquiring attributes to strengthen his Attribute Soul Core, enabling him to control more elemental powers, can he fundamentally become stronger.

The soul ring that burst from Xuan Zi, with its inherent darkness from the Taotie spirit, wasn't surprising; it merely enhanced the dark attributes he inherited from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul ring a bit more. But the significant gain was the life attribute from the Golden Tree's ancient power.

Unquestionably, the Golden Tree's life attribute is divine, even a notch above Bi Ji's life attribute. This soul ring alone compensated for the sacrifice he didn't receive from Bi Ji. Perhaps... it was really time to consider dissecting Xu Tianran.

The destructive attribute of the Purple Radiance Cataclysmic Dragon made Du Qianjue envious. If he could successfully extract Xu Tianran's martial spirit into a soul ring, his Titled Douluo level should surely provide a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, right?

"Since the soul ring is fine, then it's okay." Seeing Du Qianjue absorb the soul ring without any issues, Du Busi was relieved. His biggest fear was that the soul ring from Xuan Zi, while appearing fine on the surface, would adversely affect Du Qianjue upon absorption.

After casually tossing the leg bone to him, Du Busi and Jin Peng used space travel to return to the Bodhi Sect.

"What's this?" Du Qianjue, a bit puzzled, looked at the right leg bone Du Busi had given him, asking Xue Linglong, since Du Busi had already left. To understand this item, he naturally had to ask someone else. But Du Qianjue also had some guesses. Could this thing have burst from Xuan Zi?

Good old Xuan Zi, not only did he explode with a divine soul ring but also a divine soul bone. If Mu En were alive, he'd have to bow down to you. In terms of striking gold, Shrek's Xuan Zi really takes the cake!

Sure enough, Xue Linglong's response confirmed his guess. "This soul bone was extracted from the Taotie's body by your granduncle. Since the soul ring had no issues, the soul bone should be safe to absorb," Xue Linglong explained.

Xuan Zi, you are my god! Du Qianjue, thrilled, gazed at the green-gold soul bone in his hand. Aside from the Ice-Fire Dragon King's divine left and right arm bones, he hadn't properly absorbed other soul bones. Instead, he used soul bone energy to evolve his Ice-Fire Dragon King arm bones into an energy-evolving soul armor.

Although he hadn't acquired other soul bones, his soul armor had already evolved a torso. If he added this right leg bone, he'd only be missing the left leg bone and a skull.

No time to delay, time to absorb it! As Du Qianjue was about to sit down and absorb the soul bone, Di Tian quickly called out, "Young man, you can absorb the soul bone if you like, but send Bi Ji and me back first."

"I can't be away from Star Dou Great Forest for long, and Bi Ji is the same."

Bi Ji nodded in agreement. "Sorry, I'll send you back right now," Du Qianjue apologetically smiled, and with a swipe through the air, he opened two doors of the dead.

"Xue'er, you should go back too. Ivie can protect me here." "Okay, I'll go back first then. Call me if you need anything," Xue Linglong softly said, and then followed Di Tian and Bi Ji through the doors.

She too had hurried over from the far north and had unfinished business. Now that the battle was over, it was better to return sooner.

On the scene, only Ivie, fluttering her fishtail through the air, remained. "Master, don't worry, Ivie will definitely protect you~" Ivie's large tail gently swayed, her mature, voluptuous body pressing against Du Qianjue's back as she wrapped her arms around his neck and spoke softly.

Du Qianjue could even feel Ivie's breath, fragrant like orchids. "Um, you might want to back off a bit, I'm starting now." Du Qianjue's expression was a bit awkward, barely suppressing his discomfort.

Ivie, mischievously aware of her charm, seemingly oblivious to its lethal effect on men, acted deliberately. "Alright, then Ivie will wait until Master has absorbed the soul bone," she pouted slightly, reluctantly letting go, and drifted away with a sway of her tail.

'Master really is dense, Ivie practically delivered herself to his lips, and he still won't take a bite?' Ivie thought dejectedly, floating lifelessly in the air like a salted fish.

But regardless, Ivie's allure was genuine. Even if Du Qianjue wasn't easily swayed, he feared he might lose control and harm Ivie in a moment of weakness. 'What a dilemma...' Du Qianjue sighed inwardly, pressing the green-gold leg bone against his right leg, activating his soul power to merge the soul bone into his leg.

The solid soul bone, under the pull of Du Qianjue's soul power, seemed to melt, turning into a liquid that seeped into his right leg, making it appear translucent. He could even see the blood flowing through his veins and his leg bone clearly.

The integration of the soul ring had gone smoothly, and so did the soul bone. Both stemmed from the same source—the Golden Tree—and even though tainted by Xuan Zi's Taotie spirit, the essence remained tied to the life force of Douluo Continent. There was no rejection for Du Qianjue, a child of fortune.

His soul power had reached a peak, unable to advance further in level or density. The immense power instead merged into Du Qianjue's body. His long-stagnant Ninth Turn Inner Strength suddenly surged, robust vital energy almost forming visible plumes around him.

Thump, thump—strong, resounding heartbeats echoed, each pulse like a muffled thunder, sending ripples of vital energy spreading out.

The immense life force, guided by the Ninth Turn Inner Strength, continuously filled every one of Du Qianjue's acupoints. In the moment he absorbed the soul bone, three hundred and sixty of his three hundred and sixty-five major acupoints were filled!

Ninth Turn Inner Strength—Sixth Level Complete!

Only five acupoints shy of a true God's body, achieving divinity in the flesh. Now, in terms of physical strength alone, Du Qianjue could rival Di Tian!

Indeed—a Demigod's body. (End of Chapter)
