The Three Great Dragon Kings saw that Xiao Tian's expression didn't seem like he was lying, and they were once again shocked by his mental fortitude. Is there truly such a Spirit Master with such a temperament in this World?
"Alright, then you can absorb these three Spirit Bones. Each Spirit Bone is a million-year-old. You are currently level eighty, and after absorbing them, you'll probably reach level ninety-nine. If it weren't for the limitations of this Plane, you might have been able to directly reach level one hundred!"
Xiao Tian's heart was also pounding. What the Mountain Dragon King said was not an exaggeration. In the original work, Tang San's eighth spirit ring was only a hundred thousand years old, but after he absorbed it, his level increased by four and a half levels.
Perhaps it could be said that the energy provided to a Spirit Master by a hundred thousand-year spirit ring is more than that from a hundred thousand-year Spirit Bone, which is why it could provide so much improvement.
But right now, these are three million-year Spirit Bones!
A single million-year Spirit Bone, allowing him to increase his spirit power by ten levels and directly advance to Titled Douluo, isn't that too much?
This is still the lowest!
Even if a hundred thousand-year Spirit Bone can let a Spirit Douluo improve by two levels, considering that each level up requires a bit more spirit power, seven to eight hundred thousand years would be enough to advance to Titled Douluo!
And the remaining two Spirit Bones, allowing him to directly advance from Titled Douluo to Demigod, or even become a God at level one hundred, would not be a problem!
Perhaps, for others, absorbing three Spirit Bones to reach level ninety-nine Demigod is already the limit, but for him, it might not be!
You should know that his Sword Fifteen has not yet evolved!
He wants to break through level one hundred in one fell swoop by the power of his Spirit evolution!
Xiao Tian took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and his aura converged, entering a state of etherealness. At this moment, a Spirit Bone emitting an ancient aura floated before him—the million-year Mountain Dragon King Torso Bone.
When he circulated his spirit power and carefully touched this Spirit Bone, a wild and majestic force instantly surged in, as if a collapsing mountain range was pressing down, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
This force was aggressive, like sharp blades, constantly impacting his meridians and bones. Each impact caused him unbearable pain.
As expected of a million-year Spirit Bone, his current body has not yet reached the level to withstand a million-year Spirit Bone, at most nine hundred thousand years, so he can only grit his teeth and endure!
"Ah!"
Xiao Tian let out a muffled groan, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. He could clearly feel his body undergoing a transformative change under the ravages of this power.
His bones, tempered by this force, became increasingly hard, emitting crisp sounds; his meridians were also continuously widening, like dry riverbeds welcoming a surging flood.
He gritted his teeth, relying on his extraordinary perseverance, and guided this power to slowly merge into his body.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Tian finally successfully absorbed the Mountain Dragon King Torso Bone.
He slowly opened his eyes, which gleamed with excitement and satisfaction.
At this moment, his body had undergone earth-shattering changes. His skin was as tough as steel, and his muscles contained endless power. When he summoned the Mountain Dragon King Torso Bone, it was as if he was wearing a golden upper body armor.
Then, Xiao Tian looked at the Three Great Dragon Kings and said, "Three seniors, I now want to condense my eighth Qi and Blood spirit ring first. Please help."
"Leave it to us!"
As he spoke, Xiao Tian took out all the remaining Gathering Soul Pills, Qi and Blood Pills, and Qi and Blood potions from his spirit tool, and through a special method, they transformed into pure energy and flowed into Xiao Tian's mouth.
Instantly, Xiao Tian's eighth spirit ring began to form, reaching a brilliant golden color.
The energy from these Qi and Blood Pills was enough to make his eighth spirit ring reach six hundred thousand years, but that was still far from enough!
"Three seniors!"
Subsequently, the entire Dragon Valley also vibrated, and a large amount of Qi and Blood power drifted out from the Dragon Tomb, converging on Xiao Tian's body.
Since most of the dragon race that fell here were of considerable age, the effect of this pure Qi and Blood power, which hadn't been refined into pills, was much stronger than what Xiao Tian already possessed!
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Tian's eighth spirit ring finally reached eight hundred thousand years, and then the age of all his spirit rings began to uniformly increase towards nine hundred thousand years and one million years!
This was all because Xiao Tian had absorbed the Mountain Dragon King Torso Bone. His physical quality was now able to support a million-year spirit ring!
A few days later, Xiao Tian finally raised all his spirit rings to a million years. The Three Great Dragon Kings couldn't help but exclaim, "Kid, with your current strength, you feel like you're not inferior to a first-rank God. If you truly become a God at level one hundred, I'm afraid you'll even have the power to contend with a God King!"
Feeling Xiao Tian's strength, the Mountain Dragon King had a reluctant request: "Kid, I have a reluctant request here. I wonder if you can help when the time comes?"
Xiao Tian asked in confusion, "Senior Mountain Dragon King, what kind of help?"
Mountain Dragon King: "I know that everything you are doing now is to make this World better, whether for Spirit Masters or Spirit Beasts. You want to balance the two forces, right?"
"Yes."
Xiao Tian replied, balance is what allows this World to go further. If either side weakens, there will be no small disaster.
"If you meet the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, and things go well, then depending on the situation, please help me lift the seal of the Golden Dragon King in the God Realm, so that the Silver Dragon King can absorb it and become the Dragon God."
"Of course, if you don't think highly of her, you, having gained our dragon race's recognition, can also absorb the Golden Dragon King's bloodline."
"The reason for doing this is that there's a hidden secret. When the Dragon God fell, he used his great power to set a rule in this Plane: until a new Dragon God emerges, Spirit Beasts must undergo a Heavenly Tribulation every hundred thousand years, and Spirit Beasts are not allowed to become Gods."
Xiao Tian:
Alright, before, he was only somewhat suspicious, as there were many versions, some saying it was due to the God Kings, others saying it was due to the Dragon God.
Now that it came from the Mountain Dragon King's mouth, there's no doubt, that idiotic Dragon God did it.
Xiao Tian said somewhat speechlessly, "Senior Mountain Dragon King, don't blame me for speaking ill of the Dragon God, but by doing this, isn't he harming his own people? Because of him, the God Realm now only has Human Gods and Primordial Gods, not a single Beast God, and it's no wonder the lower realm Spirit Beast forces have always been suppressed by Spirit Masters."
The Mountain Dragon King also knew that what Xiao Tian said was the truth, so he didn't refute it.
"Alright, I agree. I also want to see how strong the power will be when the Silver Dragon King bloodline and the Golden Dragon King bloodline merge, provided Gu Yuena doesn't cause trouble, of course."
"Hahaha, with your words, I can rest assured."
"Alright, are you going to continue condensing your ninth spirit ring now? In my perception, your spirit power has suddenly risen from level eighty to level ninety," the Fire Dragon King said from the side.
Xiao Tian nodded and said, "This is all thanks to Senior Mountain Dragon King's torso Spirit Bone, which instantly increased my spirit power by ten levels!"
This million-year Mountain Dragon King torso Spirit Bone also provided him with four Spirit Abilities, and they are all very good.
First Spirit Bone Ability, Myriad Mountain Barrier, summons a mountain phantom to form an absolute defensive barrier, immune to attacks below the God-level (currently).
This Spirit Ability seems very similar to Xiao Wu's Paragon Golden Body, but it is an enhanced version. Xiao Wu's Paragon Golden Body can be broken through, but this Myriad Mountain Barrier cannot.
After all, it is a mountain barrier formed by earth elements. No matter how you try to break through it, you won't harm yourself.
It truly achieves invincibility below the God-level, and defense-breaking abilities are ineffective.
And when Xiao Tian's strength reaches the God-level, this Spirit Bone Ability will also undergo a transformation. After all, this is a million-year Spirit Bone. If you really want to classify it, it's a God-level Spirit Bone; it's just that his current level hasn't reached the God-level, so its power is also restricted.
Of course, when he exerts his full strength, this restriction will also be lifted.
Second Spirit Bone Ability, Gravity Domain, controls a gravitational field to suppress enemy movement, enhance earth element manipulation, and can even trigger landslides and ground fissures.
This second Spirit Ability is somewhat similar to Er Ming's Gravity Domain, but it is actually an enhanced version, which can be used together for a powerful combination.
Third Spirit Bone Ability: Dragon Vein Revival, absorbs the power of the earth to restore spirit power and injuries, almost making him an immortal body.
This Spirit Bone Ability can also be used on others, but it is limited to healing injuries.
Fourth Spirit Bone Ability: Earth Core Tremor, releases shockwaves to cause dizziness and internal organ damage to a wide range of enemies.
This ability is Xiao Tian's most satisfying among his four Spirit Bone abilities. As long as the opponent's strength is not far superior to his, this Spirit Ability is useful. Among those of the same level, the internal organs would likely shatter directly, and without timely treatment, death would not be far off.
After a short rest, Xiao Tian turned his gaze to the second Spirit Bone—the million-year Fire Dragon King Skull.
The moment his hand touched the skull, a scorching aura rushed towards him, as if to ignite his entire being. He took a deep breath, calmed his inner excitement, and slowly placed the skull against his forehead.
In an instant, a scorching power, like surging magma, instantly poured into his mind. His consciousness felt as if it were in a blazing sea of fire, countless flames rampaging through his mind, attempting to completely burn his soul.
Xiao Tian's face showed a pained expression, his features contorted by the intense pain. He desperately circulated his spirit power, resisting the erosion of this force.
It must be said, a million-year Spirit Bone is truly fierce. He already had the experience of a million-year Mountain Dragon King torso Spirit Bone, but facing the million-year Fire Dragon King Skull, his spiritual sea felt a burning pain, almost exploding!
"Ah ah ah"
Xiao Tian couldn't help but let out a low growl, his eyes revealing a firm determination.
He concentrated all his mental force, mobilizing every trace of spirit power and mental force within his body, and engaged in a thrilling life-and-death struggle with the flames in his mind.
In this battle, his will was tested as never before. Every second was like hovering on the edge of life and death; a slight misstep would lead to being engulfed by the endless flames.
Finally, with his unremitting efforts, the flames in his mind were gradually extinguished. He successfully absorbed the Fire Dragon King Skull, and his spiritual sea also underwent a transformation, with his mental force entering the God-level before his spirit power!
And after absorbing the Fire Dragon King Skull, his spirit power also leaped to the peak of level ninety-seven!
The Fire Dragon King Skull also provided four excellent Spirit Bone abilities.
First Spirit Bone Ability: Blazing Sky Incineration, a powerful area-of-effect attack ability that releases immense flame energy from the head, forming a sea of fire that deals massive damage to enemies within its range. The flames possess extremely high temperature and destructive power, capable of instantly melting enemy defenses and continuously burning enemies for a certain period, causing sustained damage.
Second Spirit Bone Ability: Dragon Flame Shield, generates a shield composed of the Fire Dragon King's flame power, encircling the user's body. This shield can not only block physical and energy attacks but also retaliate against approaching enemies, burning those who touch the shield with flames. Additionally, while the shield exists, it enhances the user's fire attribute resistance and defensive capabilities.
Third Spirit Bone Ability: Fiery Dragon Gaze, a mental attack ability that releases a flame ray imbued with the Fire Dragon King's will through the eyes.
The ray possesses powerful penetrating ability and mental impact. Once it hits an enemy, it not only causes physical damage but also impacts the enemy's soul, interfering with their mental force, causing the enemy to experience temporary dizziness, confusion, or mental force disorder.
Fourth Spirit Bone Ability: Rebirth Through Fire, a powerful self-recovery and enhancement ability. When the user is severely injured, they can activate the energy within the skull, causing their body to be enveloped in flames.
Under the effect of the flames, the user's wounds heal rapidly, and various bodily functions are greatly enhanced, including increased spirit power recovery speed and improved physical quality. At the same time, for a certain period, the power of the user's fire attribute abilities will also receive a significant boost, entering a state similar to "awakening."
This Spirit Bone Ability is somewhat similar to the Mountain Dragon King's Dragon Vein Revival Spirit Bone Ability, but also has differences.
In fact, this Spirit Bone is most suitable for Spirit Masters with fire-attribute Spirits to absorb, but with such high years, there's no question of suitability anymore. It's quite useful for him too.
It's normal for two Spirit Bones to have eight Spirit Bone abilities, with some having similar effects. Similar Spirit Abilities can even be stacked and used together.
Now he truly became an unkillable cockroach. Strong in attack, strong in recovery, strong in mental force, almost immortal!
Next was the third Spirit Bone, the Ice Dragon King's left leg bone. Absorbing this Spirit Bone was very quick, as his physique and mental force had both reached the God-level with the enhancement of the previous two Spirit Bones.
Therefore, the speed of absorbing this Spirit Bone was very fast. In less than an hour, it was completed, and his strength successfully reached level ninety-nine Demigod as desired.
This was not the limit of this Spirit Bone, but the limit of this Plane, suppressing him and preventing him from breaking through level one hundred to become a God!
The next moment, Xiao Tian opened his eyes and said faintly to the sky, "Sword, come!"
With just two short words, an unparalleled sword aura erupted from Xiao Tian's body, causing the Three Great Dragon Souls to involuntarily retreat to the periphery, lest they be affected.
Mountain Dragon King: "What is he doing? I don't see a sword?"
The Ice Dragon King shook his head and said, "Let's see."
