Chapter 113: Ossified Susanoo, Second Form
A few days later.
After flying and stopping for a total of five days, we finally arrived at our destination.
At this time, Xia Liang and Dugu Bo were floating high above the core area of Death Canyon.
In order to avoid being discovered by the Spirit Hall's soul masters when falling, Xia Liang used long-distance space teleportation with the Bone Dragon Dagger and brought Dugu Bo directly from high altitude to a hidden forest in the core area.
"Boy, you actually have the same spatial travel ability as Old Bones?"
Dugu Bo looked at Xia Liang in surprise as he recovered the Bone Dragon Dagger.
Xia Liang said without hiding anything, "Bone Douluo's martial soul is the Bone Dragon, which has the dual attributes of darkness and space. My third soul ring happened to be obtained from the Bone Dragon soul beast, and my third soul skill inherited a part of the Bone Dragon's spatial power."
Dugu Bo suddenly realized, "No wonder when we were sparring before, you moved so fast that even my eyes couldn't catch it. So it was the teleportation effect caused by the spatial attribute?"
"Yeah." After answering, Xia Liang put the bone dragon dagger into the silver bracelet. He used his perspective to glance around and finally determined the direction of the Shadow Lord.
"Senior, let's go. The soul beast I want to hunt is ten miles ahead."
As he spoke, Xia Liang walked towards the gloomy forest in front. With Dugu Bo protecting him and the defense of the undead skeletons, he didn't have to worry about sudden attacks from the powerful soul beasts in the core area.
"The Shadow Lord is the dark soul beast we are going to hunt this time. I only know from some books that this kind of soul beast has ancient blood and should have two top attributes. But currently we only know the dark attribute. The Shadow Lord's habitat is a stone forest shrouded in darkness. Not to mention soul masters, even powerful soul beasts dare not approach. It can be seen that this dark aura must pose a huge threat."
After listening to Xia Liang's explanation, Dugu Bo smiled faintly, "This dark aura sounds quite similar to the Green Phosphorus Snake Venom Formation I set up in the Sunset Forest. Boy, how dare you search for soul beasts in the core area of Death Canyon alone? Is it the courage transmitted to you by the long-distance space?"
"Of course not." Xia Liang suddenly stopped where he was. The black and purple ghost fires hidden in the darkness suddenly flew out and circled around him and Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo thought it was a sneak attack by a group of soul beasts and was about to mobilize his soul power to fight off the enemy, but Xia Liang stopped him with his hand, "Senior, don't worry, these will-o'-the-wisp fires are my martial soul ability. They are connected to my soul and can act freely according to my will. Every time I look for soul beasts, I rely on them. This time is no exception."
First, long-distance space travel, then the will-o'-the-wisp that can find soul beasts. Upon learning of this series of abilities, Dugu Bo looked at Xia Liang with some surprise, "Tell me quickly, how many unique skills do you still have that you haven't used yet?"
"There is no special skill, just some small tricks." Xia Liang returned to the topic, "Senior, there are no hundred thousand year soul beasts in this Death Canyon. With your current strength, you should be able to walk around freely. But for safety's sake, we'd better be careful. If it has enough time to grow, this Shadow Lord will definitely become the next hundred thousand year soul beast in the Death Canyon. So during the battle, you must not be careless."
"Since I came in, I have felt threatened all the time. It seems that this Death Canyon is more dangerous than before. Boy, hold on to me, I need to speed up."
As he spoke, Dugu Bo jumped up, Xia Liang immediately grabbed his belt, and the two of them quickly hurried on their way at the speed of flying.
Three minutes later.
Dugu Bo came to a dark stone forest and stopped. He found that the huge rocks around him were arranged in a mysterious stone formation.
The stone formation, which was 30 meters in diameter, was filled with thick black fog. The strange and eerie feeling made this Title Douluo very alert.
Standing behind Dugu Bo, Xia Liang pushed his mental power to the maximum. After the perspective formed by his eyesight and mental power broke through the heavy black fog in front of him, he could finally clearly see the scene five hundred meters away in a straight line.
What came into his sight was a huge monster that was ten meters tall.
It was a dragon-shaped soul beast that was black and purple all over, ten meters tall, with golden eyes. It only had a sturdy upper body, and its entire body was suspended off the ground. The black scales covering its chest and limbs were as solid and thick as armor.
On the forehead of this burly dark dragon-shaped soul beast, there is a black horn growing forward.
On its shoulders, there are two thick scales and two sturdy dragon claws. A black and purple aura lingers on each slender and sharp claw, which is chilling.
This should be the Shadow Lord, the top-level dark soul beast with ancient bloodline.
With his clairvoyant bone-viewing realm activated, Xia Liang could clearly see that the Shadow Lord's skeleton was white as a whole, but the eye bones on the head were dark gold.
Combined with the experience of the last Death Spider, the eye bone of the Shadow Lord might be the prototype of a soul bone, either a head soul bone or an external soul bone related to the eyes.
The bone-viewing state was lifted, and in Xia Liang's eyes, the Shadow Lord gradually recovered from a white skeleton form into a flesh and blood body.
With the power of perspective, it was seen that the soul power flowing in the body of this shadow leader was black, indicating that his cultivation had reached ten thousand years.
Judging from the thickness of its soul power, it must have been cultivated for at least 50,000 years?
Xia Liang couldn't help but frown. His fourth soul ring was 10,000 years old. If he wanted to absorb a 50,000-year soul ring, it would undoubtedly be another leapfrog absorption.
What's more, the Shadow Lord has the bloodline of a top-level soul beast. Although he has only been cultivating for 50,000 years, the soul ring energy he produces is definitely more difficult to tame than that of an ordinary 60,000-year soul beast.
"Boy, what's wrong?" Dugu Bo saw the change in Xia Liang's expression.
Xia Liang deliberately concealed his ability to see through things, and said, "Just now I learned from the information sent back by the will-o'-the-wisps. The shadow lord hiding in the black fog ahead has cultivated for 50,000 years. This is beyond my expectations."
"Fifty thousand years?" Dugu Bo said thoughtfully, "Even a Soul Saint wouldn't dare to easily absorb a fifty thousand year soul ring when he has his seventh soul ring, and you are only a fifty-level Quasi-Soul King. Absorbing a fifty thousand year fifth soul ring is undoubtedly courting death."
"Boy, let's go. Let's go to other places in the core area to look for soul beasts. Forget about this 50,000-year-old Shadow Lord."
Having said that, Dugu Bo turned and left.
"Wait a minute, senior, I want to think about it again." Xia Liang said, "Have you forgotten? My fourth soul ring is a ten thousand year soul ring, and my third soul ring is five thousand years old."
"From the beginning to the end, each of my spirit rings was absorbed by leaps and bounds. My physical strength is several times better than that of other spirit masters. Moreover, I have taken several top-level immortal herbs. Whether it is physical fitness or mental strength, I am definitely qualified to leap and bound and absorb a fifth spirit ring of about 40,000 years. This shadow lord with 50,000 years of cultivation may be able to give it a try."
After hearing this story, Dugu Bo hesitated. He didn't want to kill his grandson-in-law because of his decision.
At this moment, there was a sudden movement in the black fog ahead. A huge black and purple dragon claw stretched out from the black fog and grabbed Xia Liang in its hand as if taking something from the air.
Immediately afterwards, as the black and purple dragon claws retracted, Xia Liang disappeared from the spot.
Seeing this scene, Dugu Bo reacted instantly and began to possess the Green Scaled Serpent King. Without any hesitation, his seventh soul ring lit up and his seventh martial soul, the Green Scaled Serpent King, was unleashed. He transformed into a 30-meter-long green python.
The next second after Xia Liang was caught by the black and purple dragon claws and dragged into the black fog, Dugu Bo, who had transformed into the Green Scaled Snake King, also rushed into the black fog.
The soul power of the Titled Douluo suddenly exploded, with the thirty-meter-long Green Scaled Snake King as the center, the surging soul power swept up, and instantly blew away the black fog covering hundreds of meters in radius.
When the black fog dissipated and the surrounding vision became clear again, Dugu Bo was surprised to see that the Shadow Lord and Xia Liang, who were originally hidden in the black fog, had disappeared.
What's going on?
Dugu Bo, who had transformed into the Green Scaled Snake King, looked around nervously. His mental power covered an area of nearly a thousand meters, but he still could not find any trace of Xia Liang and the Shadow Lord.
It felt like the target had disappeared out of thin air.
After a moment, the dispersed black fog condensed again, covering an area of several hundred meters in radius, along with Dugu Bo, who had transformed into the Green Phosphorus Snake King.
Dugu Bo realized belatedly that he had seen such a strange ability in the old man from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect before.
Darkness looms, and there are inexplicable disappearances.
Could it be that this Shadow Lord, like that old bone, also has top-level spatial attributes?
Doesn't that mean that Xia Liang might have been caught in the alien space formed around him?
Dugu Bo was no stranger to the attribute of space. His own eighth soul skill, Time Solidification, was a soul skill of time attribute, powerful enough to completely solidify time within a radius of thousands of square meters.
Time and space complement each other.
Dugu Bo didn't know whether Xia Liang was taken into the surrounding strange space by the Shadow Lord. In order to prevent accidents, he could only consume a huge amount of soul power to activate his eighth soul skill, Time Freeze.
Only by solidifying the space within the coverage of the soul skill can the Shadow Lord in a certain space be prevented from harming Xia Liang.
The eighth soul ring lit up on Dugu Bo's body, and the black light painted the snake's body, instantly turning the emerald green into dark green.
Dugu Bo, who transformed into the Green Scaled Snake King, suddenly spewed out a green snake king's inner elixir from his mouth.
A strange scene appeared. The black fog flowing around, as well as the wind and fallen leaves, all stopped in mid-air.
Within a radius of thousands of square meters, everything was suddenly frozen in time.
The eighth soul skill required a huge amount of soul power. If it wasn't a last resort, Dugu Bo would never use it easily.
He only hoped that after solidifying time in an area of thousands of square meters, he could successfully rescue his grandson-in-law who was trapped in a certain space within this area.
at the same time.
The place where Dugu Bo is located is in another real space.
Xia Liang was held in the hand of the ten-meter-tall Shadow Lord. Thanks to his timely use of black and purple ribs to cover his whole body, he was not crushed to death in an instant.
Looking back at what had just happened, Xia Liang would never have thought that the Shadow Lord, who was hundreds of meters away, would ignore the obstacles and grab him as if he were taking something from the air.
At this moment, he was held in mid-air by the Shadow Lord's huge dragon claw, and his body was less than three meters away from the Shadow Lord's oppressive dragon-shaped head.
Staring at the golden pupils under the black horn on the edge of the Shadow Lord's forehead, Xia Liang swallowed hard. He found that he could not use the attribute of space to escape the grasp of the Shadow Lord's dragon claws.
It was also at this moment that he realized that in addition to the top-level dark attribute, the Shadow Lord's other top-level attribute was space.
Because his own spatial attribute was suppressed by the Shadow Lord's top spatial attribute, he was unable to escape by using space jump or space teleportation.
If you can't escape, you can only fight.
As Xia Liang's mind moved, the black and purple ribs covering his whole body suddenly grew a skull and two arms.
As the Shadow Lord clenched his dragon claws tightly, the skeletal half-skeleton form of Susanoo gradually expanded from three meters to eight meters.
Two yellow, one purple and one black, a total of four soul rings are involved in the activation of the ring fusion skill.
The skeletal Susanoo entered the armed form and a pair of horns grew on its head. Its sturdy ghost bear right hand drew out the Ten-fist Sword from behind and slashed at the Shadow Lord's right shoulder.
The Susanoo bow in his left hand turned into a Susanoo claw and stabbed fiercely at the Shadow Lord's chest.
What surprised Xia Liang was that the Ten-fist Sword and Susanoo Claw hit the Shadow Lord's right shoulder and chest respectively, but were unable to break through the scale armor defense in these two parts.
The thick black scales were as hard to shake as a solid armor.
The realm of the undead is activated.
With the effect of attacking the soul, the Ten-Fist Sword that chopped off the Shadow Lord's right shoulder finally had a damaging effect.
As if feeling the pain of his soul being struck, the Shadow Lord screamed and the dragon claws that were holding Xia Liang's body suddenly relaxed.
At this moment, Xia Liang activated the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone skill to fly, quickly fell to the ground, and put a distance of twenty meters between him and the Shadow Lord.
The Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone healing skill was activated, and Xia Liang took the opportunity to repair several crushed ribs in his body. The various injuries on his body caused by the Shadow Lord's dragon claws were also recovering rapidly.
Judging from the dark environment around, this should be an alien space created by the Shadow Lord.
The power of perspective cannot penetrate the barriers of the alien space, and I don't know what is happening to Dugu Bo.
roar--
As if angered by the soul being slashed by the Ten-Fist Sword just now, the Shadow Lord's thick black and purple claws opened wide on both sides of his body, and a roar exploded from it in the air.
Faced with this sudden situation, Xia Liang knew that all he could do was give it his all.
With the successful fusion of the fourth soul ring, the skeletal Susanoo that enveloped him underwent a completely new change.
The bright yellow eyes of the skeletonized Susanoo suddenly flashed with dazzling light.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of black and purple fibers composed of iron wire energy bodies and flesh and blood emerged frantically from behind the skeletal Susanoo.
Until the skeleton-form ossified Susanoo was wrapped into a half-ling form full of flesh and blood, an energy cloak condensed from black and purple fibers was draped on the back of the half-ling-form ossified Susanoo, and a black and purple hood covered its head.
When the series of changes ended, the one standing in front of the Shadow Lord was a half-human skeletonized Susanoo holding a black and purple spear.
The black and purple spear was in the shape of a straight umbrella. It was a new weapon formed by the Susanoo Claw evolving into the Eight Spider Lance with the external soul bone, and then combining it with the Ten Fist Sword as the umbrella axis.
Xia Liang was enveloped inside a twelve-meter-tall half-humanoid skeletonized Susanoo. He used his mind to control the black and purple spear held in the skeletonized Susanoo's right hand. The huge umbrella-shaped spear body suddenly began to spin, making a sharp buzzing sound like a spiral electric drill.
Spiral gun, this is the name of the black and purple spear.
At this time, the huge black and purple humanoid half-Susanoo, which is two heads taller than the Shadow Lord, is currently the strongest form of the Undead Skeleton Martial Soul. It not only has the superimposed amplification of the first four soul skills, but also all attributes have been improved by 50%.
With the support of the Undead Realm and the Spiral Gun, he possesses super strong close combat capabilities.
