How to check the soul ring limit?
Tang Lan directly got to work, carefully examining Zhu Zhuqing's bone structure and muscle strength.
This made Zhu Zhuqing's eyes dart around.
Even though she'd already been... touched all over, Chen Xin was still here!
After about half a minute, Tang Lan withdrew his hand.
"The limit is roughly around 5100 years."
"A Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone increased the limit by 800 years, an 8% conversion rate."
"Not bad."
"It'll be a bit of a stretch to absorb this Shadow Demon Cat. The process will be very painful."
"Are you prepared?"
Zhu Zhuqing returned his gaze with a firm look.
Tang Lan was still a little worried.
He thought about it.
He raised his hand and grabbed at his chest. His palm sank into the flesh and pulled out a green heart.
——Life Soul Heart!
"This is my Fifth Soul Skill," Tang Lan explained. "I've removed the soul power and retained pure life force. It will provide support for you at a critical moment."
As he spoke, Tang Lan pressed the Life Soul Heart against Zhu Zhuqing's left chest, slowly integrating it into her heart.
The process was quite sensual.
Chen Xin couldn't bear to watch.
If it weren't for seeing that the Life Soul Heart was indeed extraordinary, I would have thought this guy was taking advantage.
Anyway, Zhu Zhuqing was blushing, but she still tried to remain calm.
The extreme contrast was quite tempting.
So... When Tang Lan retracted his hand, he gave a gentle squeeze.
"Mmm—"
Zhu Zhuqing's ears immediately turned red!
Tang Lan pretended nothing had happened and stepped back.
His third soul ring lit up, Life Burial!
A large area of Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor enveloped Zhu Zhuqing.
Following that, his right eye lit up with a dark blue light — Soul Bone Skill: Reset: Mark!
The preparations were complete.
He raised his hand and sent the Shadow Demon Cat, bound like a mummy, to Zhu Zhuqing.
The little thing had already been drained.
But under the threat of death, the exhausted creature still managed to hold on, condensing a ball of shadow.
"Heh!"
Tang Lan sneered.
The Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor contracted again, squeezing out the soul power it had converted by overdrawing its life force.
Simultaneously activating his soul seed, he began to extract its soul.
He was doing two things at once.
The Shadow Demon Cat's limbs hung limply, only its two-meter-long tail still stubbornly raised.
It was its final act of intimidation.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing silently took out the Barrett, aiming it at the cat's unwilling black eyes.
"BOOM!"
The Shadow Demon Cat, unable to move, had its head blown away.
It was extremely bloody.
A purple and black soul ring condensed, floating above its corpse.
Zhu Zhuqing inhaled deeply.
She summoned her martial soul, the Netherworld Spirit Cat, and attracted the soul ring to attach to it.
At the same time,
The Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor wrapped around her entire body, directly activating the Devour effect, voraciously consuming the immense soul power.
Even so,
Zhu Zhuqing's clothes still burst, and the skin beneath was torn open, a truly terrifying sight.
The released soul power was too much; her body couldn't handle it.
Tang Lan activated the Life Soul Heart.
Green light emanated from Zhu Zhuqing's chest, and the life energy of the extreme life attribute spread, enveloping her whole body.
It was repairing the cracks in her body.
This kept Zhu Zhuqing in a "porcelain doll" state, preventing her from truly shattering completely.
Tang Lan subtly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness.
Zhu Zhuqing had held on.
Otherwise, even if the reset could save Zhu Zhuqing, this soul ring would have been wasted.
"Huh?"
Tang Lan suddenly noticed a tingling sensation in his right eye.
He took a closer look.
He saw that from the Shadow Demon Cat's corpse, a wisp of death energy was drifting, and it was being devoured by the Evil Eye.
It was slowly evolving itself.
Oh ho?
The Evil Eye's evolution condition was actually "death"? Tang Lan hadn't expected this.
Since obtaining the Evil Eye, Tang Lan hadn't seemed to have done any "killing," so he hadn't realized this before. After the black death energy was completely devoured.
The Evil Eye's age increased by 4 years.
Not a significant amount.
But...
The Evil Eye was 20,000 years old, while this Shadow Demon Cat was only 5,000 years.
'The effects would definitely be better on high-level soul beasts or soul masters.'
Should he start a massacre and evolve a bit?
While he was considering it,
a black light shot out rapidly from the Shadow Demon Cat's corpse.
Tang Lan, who seemed to be in a daze, had his left eye light up with purple light.
Double Pupil: Dragon-Catching Hand!
A golden dragon bound the black light, freezing it in place.
Tang Lan, employing the Lingbo Weibu footwork, dodged and grabbed the black light.
A black pearl struggled in his palm, darting left and right.
But it couldn't escape Tang Lan's grasp.
Finally, it exhausted itself and stopped.
Tang Lan chuckled.
"You think you can outsmart me?" "I was prepared for this!"
When Tang San hunted the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, it escaped with an Evil God Pearl – the core that truly contained the power of the evil god.
The Shadow Demon Cat, also absorbing divine properties, might have a similar trick up its sleeve.
He was paying attention all along.
But what's the use of this black pearl?
He was thinking about it.
The black pearl began to stir again, but this time its target was clear, rushing towards Zhu Zhuqing frantically.
This was...
Tang Lan hesitated for a moment.
The mark had 25 seconds left. He could give it a try.
So he let the black pearl fly out, straight towards Zhu Zhuqing, and plunged into the Netherworld Spirit Cat!
"Ugh—"
Zhu Zhuqing let out a muffled groan, the cracks on her body suddenly surging!
"Blue Silver Domain!"
The dense Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor rose from the ground, emitting specks of green light that converged into streams, flowing towards Zhu Zhuqing.
It forcefully suppressed the cracks again! The frown on Zhu Zhuqing's face also relaxed.
She began to absorb with peace of mind.
Tang Lan carefully observed her condition, silently counting down the timer on the mark.
The Netherworld Spirit Cat, after absorbing the black pearl, was enveloped in a layer of black light, slowly eroding the original purple light.
It was like... Penetration, transformation? It's a martial soul evolution! This shadow god's divinity, it seems it can't escape.
So, he chose Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul as the new vessel, merging with and modifying the Netherworld Spirit Cat.
Until the very last second.
No new changes appeared.
Tang Lan didn't trigger the reset and instead focused entirely on assisting Zhu Zhuqing in absorbing the soul ring and black pearl.
Fortunately.
Tang Lan had been consistently practicing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Mind Control.
He had now reached the Four Apertures Constant Heart.
He could now multitask with four minds simultaneously.
Controlling the Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor to absorb soul power,
Controlling the Life Soul Heart to replenish vitality,
And using the Blue Silver Domain to infuse vitality.
It's just multitasking.
No big deal.
As for consumption? The absorbed soul power is used directly, combined with the Nine Yang Divine Skill's endless flow.
His internal energy declines slowly.
With his reserve ten times that of his peers, he could spend a whole day here.
But Zhu Zhuqing didn't need that much time.
One hour later.
The undulating soul ring finally couldn't escape being tamed, lying docilely at Zhu Zhuqing's feet.
Absorption successful!
The purple light on the Netherworld Spirit Cat's body was also completely devoured.
It turned as before, the absolute black of the Shadow Demon Cat, not reflecting any light.
I thought this was the end of it.
But,
A black light shot directly from the Shadow Demon Cat's corpse into Zhu Zhuqing's rear.
"Ah—"
Zhu Zhuqing let out a rare cry of pain, and without her martial soul activated, a black tail emerged.
The two-meter-long black cat tail was composed of 23 bone segments, the surface covered in the same absolute black.
It echoed with her new martial soul.
This is…
