Chapter 201: Double Breakthrough!
Uh...
Hu Bai couldn't refute what the Rakshasa God said.
Given the Rakshasa God's current state, it was indeed very difficult.
Even in the original work, Bibi Dong's Ninth Trial was achieved by piling up a large number of dead bodies.
If the remnant soul of the Rakshasa God could recover somewhat with the help of his Divine Artifact this time, then Bibi Dong's Ninth Trial in the future might be a bit easier.
Subsequently, a Divine Artifact also appeared in Hu Bai's hand.
It was a giant scythe with a bizarre design; its blade was as black as ink, shimmering with a dark purple glow, and black chains were wrapped around its handle, with a black skull connected to the end of the chains.
Dark Divine Artifact, Nether Shadow Devouring Scythe!
"Oh, is this your Dark Divine Artifact? It's a bit similar to my Rakshasa Demonic Scythe. With this Divine Artifact, my remnant soul should be able to get sufficient rest."
The Rakshasa God sensed the black Divine Power filling this Dark Divine Artifact and was pleasantly surprised.
This Divine Power was inherent to the Divine Artifact.
However, Hu Bai's current cultivation was insufficient, and his control over these Divine Artifacts was relatively low; he couldn't even mobilize one-tenth of the Divine Power naturally emanating from the Divine Artifact.
Hu Bai himself understood this principle, so it was better to let the Rakshasa God nourish her soul.
Moreover, if they encountered danger, his teacher could also use this Divine Artifact to save her life.
"Teacher, I'll give you this Divine Artifact for now. Let it stay in your Spiritual Sea to nourish the Rakshasa remnant soul. If you encounter a crisis, you can also use it."
As long as Hu Bai permitted it, others could use his Divine Artifact, though the effect would be significantly less than when he, the original owner, used it.
But Bibi Dong's own attributes aligned with the Dark Divine Artifact, and her strength was formidable, so this gap would be infinitely narrowed.
"Thank you, little guy."
The Rakshasa God floated beside Hu Bai and, before he could react, kissed Hu Bai on the cheek, then retreated, her voice carrying a hint of Charm.
"Little guy, I don't have anything to give you now, so I can only give you this. I'm going to sleep now. See you next time."
The Rakshasa God's movements were very fast; Hu Bai hadn't even reacted yet when the Rakshasa God's remnant soul had already entered the Nether Shadow Devouring Scythe!
Bibi Dong inwardly complained, 'How shameless!'
After so many years, she had just discovered this side of the Rakshasa God!
And Hu Bai was also completely bewildered. What was this?
Was he being teased?
Don't forget, the Rakshasa God was currently in soul form, so even though she made a kissing motion, he felt nothing at all.
After all, a soul form was a special spiritual body that couldn't be touched. What could he feel?
Half an hour later, Yue Guan and Gui Mei finished absorbing their Soul Bones first.
As they expected, after absorbing this Soul Bone, their cultivation did not break through to rank ninety-seven.
However, the Soul Bone did bring them some attribute enhancements.
The two Soul Bones Bibi Dong gave them, one Yang and one Yin, slightly enhanced the attributes of their Martial Souls.
And this attribute enhancement should make the control effect of their Polar Static Domain stronger.
After another hour, Hu Liena and Xie Yue also finished absorbing their Soul Bones, and their soul power consequently broke through to rank fifty!
Hu Liena's skull bone gave her a mental attack skill and greatly boosted her mental power after use.
And Xie Yue's eighty-thousand-year Soul Bone was the Quake-Treading · Earth-Shaking Left Leg Bone, originating from an extremely rare and terrifying earth-attribute Soul Beast, the Mountain-Shaking Ancient Elephant Emperor.
However, the attached Soul Bone was somewhat different from what Xie Yue initially expected.
He had originally thought that since it was a leg bone, it would most likely provide him with a Soul Skill that increased speed.
But the Soul Bone skill this Soul Bone brought him was mainly a wide-range strong control, named Earth-Rending Thousand Peaks.
Stomping the ground fiercely with his left foot, he releases a violent earth soul power, causing a wide-range fan-shaped or circular area of the ground in front to instantly tear open, raising countless sharp, giant rock spikes and continuously vibrating, causing area damage and strong control. The control duration is a maximum of three seconds, depending on the Soul Master's rank.
However, this strong control-type Soul Skill was indeed what Xie Yue needed.
His current positioning was that of a spatial melee assassin.
And for him, before launching his Instant Strike, he could first use this Soul Bone skill to forcibly control the opponent, then use Teleportation to instantly approach the opponent and kill them!
Of course, the drawback of this Soul Bone skill was also very obvious: if the opposing Soul Master could stay airborne, then they couldn't be controlled.
Of course, in addition to this active skill, this Soul Bone also had a very special passive skill.
Earth Pulsation Perception!
As long as Xie Yue was standing on the ground, he could clearly perceive vibrations and energy fluctuations on the ground within a wide range, which greatly enhanced his combat awareness!
It could be considered an inferior version of Hu Bai's spiritual detection skill.
Upon learning that Xie Yue's Soul Bone skill was this, Hu Bai, Hu Liena, and Bibi Dong were all very satisfied.
Especially Bibi Dong!
With such a passive skill, Xie Yue could move freely within Slaughter City.
Although the arena in Slaughter City was not natural earth, it was still a ground surface.
As long as Xie Yue stood in the arena, he could perceive the situation of the surrounding Soul Masters.
They had all experienced the spiritual detection sharing that Hu Bai had used on them and knew how much such a perception skill could enhance a Soul Master's combat power!
At least with this skill, Xie Yue had a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree view with no blind spots; it would be very difficult for others to successfully launch a sneak attack!
After several more hours, Xie Tian and Hu Leyao finally finished absorbing their two Soul Bones.
And both of their soul power broke through to rank ninety!
Hu Bai was very happy that both of his parents had broken through to rank ninety, but what followed was distress.
They now needed a Ninth soul ring.
And if possible, Hu Bai wanted their Ninth soul ring to be a hundred-thousand-year one, but he only had one god-bestowed soul ring. What could he do?
"Xiao Bai, do you want both of your parents' Ninth soul rings to be hundred-thousand-year ones? I have a way, and you won't need to use that precious god-bestowed soul ring."
Tianmeng Iceworm's arrogant voice rang out from Hu Bai's Spiritual Sea.
If the Tianmeng Iceworm's nose could extend, it would surely be pointing to the sky.
"What way?" Hu Bai asked.
Tianmeng Iceworm: "It's actually very simple. My life essence can help increase the soul ring's age. It shouldn't be too difficult for them to find an eighty or ninety-thousand-year-old Soul Beast. I'll make up for the remaining ten thousand years."
"Ah? Your life essence can also be used on others?" Hu Bai was a little surprised.
