Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor

Two are a thousand years old, and one is forty thousand years old.

None of these three Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears were suitable as Ye Qing's Soul Rings, and Mu En had no intention of killing them to obtain their Soul Bones. Instead, he gave Ye Qing a brief explanation.

“As a top-tier soul beast, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear has a high probability of producing soul bones, but the breeding difficulty of this race is also extremely high, making it incredibly difficult to give birth to a new Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear,” Mu En said.

"Indiscriminate killing of soul beasts will only lead to soul masters having no soul rings to use. Little Ye Qing, you must remember to avoid killing soul beasts unless absolutely necessary."

"Of course, if it keeps chasing you, you don't need to hold back. In the Soul Beast Forest, no matter what the battle is, you must finish it quickly."

"I understand, teacher." Ye Qing nodded.

Regardless of whether they would actually do it, they would definitely nod in agreement when the teacher was teaching them, which highlights their obedience.

Mu En was very satisfied with his 'learning attitude'. The intervals between each spatial jump became longer, and when encountering some rarer soul beasts, he would stop to explain some knowledge about them to Ye Qing.

Over the next three hours, Moon found four more Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears.

Of the four Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears, the first one was still at the thousand-year level, unsuitable for Ye Qing. The second and third were a pair; the male had over fifty thousand years of cultivation, while the female was close to twenty thousand years old.

Originally, this female Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was indeed suitable for Ye Qing, but Mu En quickly realized that it was already pregnant.

It's estimated that a bear cub will be born in a few years.

Upon discovering this situation, Moon did not hesitate to give up, preferring to spend more time searching again rather than kill a female Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that was about to give birth.

Ye Qing naturally had no objections.

He was still speculating: could this be the same pair of Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears that the female had nearly 20,000 years of cultivation and was about to give birth in a few years?

It actually seems to fit quite well.

Perhaps because of Moon and Ye Qing's 'mercy', the fourth Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear just happened to be their target this time.

A dark gold dinosaur bear that is a little over 20,000 years old.

The estimated lifespan is within 21,000 years, which is close to the limit that Ye Qing can withstand.

“Each Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is extremely rare. We’re already close to the core area of ​​Star Dou, so it’s obviously not appropriate to absorb this spirit ring here. Let’s take it back to Shrek Academy, and then you can absorb it,” Mu En said to Ye Qing. He then flashed to the top of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear’s head, knocked it unconscious with a powerful punch, and then carried it and Ye Qing, leaping through space towards Shrek Academy.

The 20,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear would be a nightmare for most Soul Saints and Soul Douluos, but in front of Mu En, a Limit Douluo, it was no different from Ye Qing.

Completely incapable of resistance.

Chapter 37 Twenty Thousand Years, Soul Tremor

In the original story, the three Zhongli brothers were so fiercely fighting that pair of Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears that the Bear Lord didn't step forward. With Mu En's extreme cultivation level, taking away a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear wouldn't have alarmed the Bear Lord either.

The master and apprentice successfully brought the 20,000-year-old dark gold dinosaur back to Shrek Academy.

The Sea God Pavilion forbids bloodshed, so this soul ring absorption was conducted in Ye Feng's cultivation room at his residence on Sea God Island.

“Go, attack its eyes, smash its brain, and you’ll get its soul ring.” Moon pointed to the dark gold dinosaur’s white eyes.

Ye Qing nodded, and his right arm suddenly shone with a scorching golden light as his immense soul power finally gathered on the index and middle fingers of his right hand.

"Light that destroys demons!"

When his soul power reached its limit, Ye Qing raised his right hand and pointed it at the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's eyes from a distance. A dazzling golden stream of light burst forth, exploding into a blood flower in its eye socket before instantly burning its brain into charcoal.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's massive body suddenly stiffened, its life force rapidly fading, and it quickly died on the spot.

At the same time, a profound spirit ring carrying a heavy aura floated up from its corpse. This kind of spirit ring produced by a top-tier spirit beast has an age of up to 20,000 years, which is something that almost all power-attack type spirit masters dream of.

Yet Ye Qing was able to enjoy such an extremely precious spirit ring when he was on his third spirit ring.

In the Douluo Continent, having a good background is truly indispensable.

If Ye Qing hadn't had Shrek Academy's backing, how could he have achieved what he has today? Thinking about it this way, being born in Shrek Academy doesn't seem so bad. Just be wary of brainwashing, remember the kindness shown to you, and do your best.

"I'm going to begin." Ye Qing took a deep breath, sat down cross-legged on the spot, and guided the soul ring to land on himself.

The moment the spirit ring landed, the immense power seemed to crush every bone in Ye Qing's body. Even though the spirit ring's lifespan hadn't reached Ye Qing's limit, he felt that the pressure he experienced this time was even greater than when he absorbed a Light Essence Spirit Ring that was above his level.

The deep black spirit ring continuously released ripples, and a massive amount of spirit power surged out from the spirit ring, beginning to rampage through Ye Qing's body.

Even with his strong physique honed over two and a half years of training, he almost couldn't withstand the raging soul power.

Fortunately, Ye Qing has a cheat code.

The three giants who had previously slowed down his cultivation speed now proved to be of great importance.

The Wings of Light tore through Ye Qing's clothes and spread out behind him. The instinct he had developed when he was being trained by Ye Feng allowed Ye Qing to absorb excess soul power from his soul ring while simultaneously releasing holy light to heal himself.

The appearance of the Wings of Light directly reduced Ye Qing's pressure by a large margin.

Immediately afterwards, the Light-Breaking Demon Soul Bone and Ye Qing's light spirit wife also took the initiative to help Ye Qing refine the energy in the soul ring.

After each major cycle of soul power surges into his right arm, it is filtered by the Light of Magic and the Light Spirit. The power of the ultimate light washes away the violent soul power, making it gentle and mild. Then, the light spirit takes away a portion of the power before finally flowing into Ye Qing's body and meridians.

Thanks to its powerful bloodline, this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's spirit ring, although only 20,000 years old, actually contains a much higher level of spirit power than a normal 20,000-year spirit ring.

Without the help of these three giants who consume soul power, even if Ye Qing could absorb this soul ring, he would probably need to recuperate for a while after he finished absorbing it.

The immense soul power undoubtedly caused him to suffer internal injuries all over his body, and it would take him more than half a month to recover from these injuries alone.

We don't need to anymore.

With their help, Ye Qing's process of absorbing the soul ring went incredibly smoothly.

Of course, this is just the refining of soul power.

A ten-thousand-year soul ring has more than just that ability. Otherwise, Ye Qing wouldn't have spent so much time training his body and mind. The biggest test of absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring is after the soul power refining is on track.

Soul-shaking!

Originally, Ye Qing could not sense his own spiritual sea; he could only feel a power in his head that was like soul power and could be activated by him.

This is mental strength.

Many Soul Masters never see their own spiritual sea in their entire lives, even those who reach the Soul Emperor or even Soul Saint level.

Ye Qing is still absorbing his third spirit ring. Even though his mental strength is comparable to that of an ordinary spirit emperor after training, he still cannot sense his own spiritual sea, since he is not a spirit-type spirit master.

However, the sudden mental shock emanating from the soul ring opened the door to Ye Qing's sea of ​​consciousness at this moment.

For the first time, he saw his own spiritual sea, which resembled a golden lake, its waters shimmering with a faint golden light, rippling gently on the surface.

Apart from the lake, the entire space of the Sea of ​​Spirit was gray and empty, appearing extremely desolate.

"Roar--"

The next moment, the deep, angry roar of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear echoed in Ye Qing's mental sea, creating waves in the once calm lake.

"The remnant soul of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, is this the Soul Shock?" Ye Qing 'looked' at the translucent Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, its scarlet eyes raging in his sea of ​​consciousness, bringing him waves of excruciating pain that went straight to his soul.

"Since I'm going to absorb your spirit ring, I've already prepared for it. Come on!!"

Ye Qing let out a low roar, conjured a body with his mental power, and threw a punch at the remnant soul of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

This is a battle of the spirit.

-

outside world.

Seeing that Ye Qing's absorption of the soul ring was progressing well, Mu En nodded secretly. With him guarding him, Ye Qing would naturally not suffer any hidden injuries from the impact of soul power.

As a Limit Douluo, it was quite easy for him to help Ye Qing guide out some of the power he couldn't absorb. However, after seeing that Ye Qing was able to absorb it steadily, he naturally didn't interfere.

Absorbing a spirit ring is a tremendous opportunity. The energy carried within the spirit ring can greatly reduce a spirit master's cultivation time and significantly increase their level.

Guiding out the energy of the spirit ring is undoubtedly a huge waste.

Only by fully absorbing the soul power within the soul ring can one obtain the most powerful soul skill.

Moon's gaze lingered on Ye Qing for a long time before turning his head to look at the corpse of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

This corpse naturally has great value, being a rare and precious ingredient. But besides being used as food, there is something even more important.

Soul bone.

Chapter 38 Soul Bone, Soul Lord

As one of the most elite soul beasts in terms of bloodline, even a hundred-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear has a higher probability of producing soul bones than an ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

A 20,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is basically guaranteed to drop a Soul Bone, just like a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast, unless you're so unlucky that you can't even find a lucky one when you go out.

Otherwise, a ten-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear would definitely drop a Soul Bone.

As a top-tier soul beast, the soul bones it produces are also among the finest of the finest.

Mu En was eager to see what kind of soul bone this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear would produce, and whether it could provide Ye Qing with greater assistance.

When Moon examined it and found that the remaining soul power fluctuations on its body were all gathered on its right arm, Moon's expression became somewhat excited. The most powerful part of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was its pair of sharp claws.

If the soul bone appears in the arms, the soul skill attached to it will definitely be a powerful offensive soul skill, and there is even a possibility that it will be an external soul bone...

Dark gold terror claw!

Even for Moon, a man over two hundred years old, the feeling of opening a blind box stirred a sense of anticipation within him.

Without any visible movement, he simply swept his palm across the air like a knife, severing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right arm at the shoulder, without even drawing blood.

With another wave of his hand, he released several streams of soul power to cover the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right arm. A complete right arm bone, torn from its severed arm, slowly floated out.
