Chapter 115: Different Space, Different-Colored Haunter
To be precise, after the Undead Skeleton Martial Soul awakened its spatial attributes, a hundred-meter alien space was born in the Undead Realm.
The fifth soul skill, Shadow Territory, is equivalent to the gate to this alien space.
When the soul skill is activated, the caster can freely open or close the door to this different space within half an hour, thereby freely entering and exiting the different space, or summoning something in the different space.
Every time you operate this alien space, you will consume a certain amount of soul power. The more difficult the operation is, the more soul power you will consume.
After simulating the fifth soul skill Shadow Territory several times in the spiritual world, Xia Liang discovered that this alien space has a magical use.
For example, when you enter a different space, you will appear in a blurred state for a few seconds.
This virtual state is different from Xiao Wu's sixth soul skill, Nothingness, in the original novel.
Xiao Wu's void effect makes her immune to all non-energy physical attacks and weakens any energy attack by 50%.
The virtualizing effect produced by the fifth soul skill, Shadow Territory, will make the body completely transparent. Unless an attack is launched at the moment when the virtualizing effect disappears, any attack below the god level will be like hitting a disembodied soul, making the attack invalid.
In addition, the 100-meter space created in the realm of the dead has another wonderful use, which is to store the essence of Haunter.
The previous Haunters were all disposable energy bodies. After being destroyed and then summoned again, they would be brand new Haunters in their initial state.
Now that we have this different space, we can preserve the origin of Haunter in it.
As long as its origin is not damaged, even if Haunter is destroyed countless times, it will still be the original Haunter when it is summoned again.
This means that Haunter can, like a soul beast, turn what it has experienced, the knowledge it has learned, or the skills it has mastered into experience, and become stronger and better by constantly accumulating various experiences.
It was once imagined that Haunter would take the Snow Swan Kiss to stimulate its undead energy and breath of death, and awaken a poisonous attribute similar to the death virus.
Now it seems that this idea is achievable.
You just need to create a Haunter's origin in a different space, and the magic herb power that the Haunter obtained from eating the Snow Swan's Kiss will be stored in the origin.
By activating the origin, you can summon the poison-attribute Haunter with the power of the Snow Swan Kiss.
At this moment, Xia Liang screamed in pain from the sudden severe pain in his eyes.
Ahhh——
Dugu Bo, who was sitting cross-legged nearby, was startled by the scream and immediately looked over with concern.
This situation has occurred before. When absorbing the soul ring, there was a sudden sharp pain in the bones growing. This was because the external soul bone was absorbed along with the soul ring.
Xia Liang then remembered that from his previous perspective, he saw that the Shadow Lord's skeleton was white in general, except for the eye bones which were dark gold.
At that time, it was determined that it might be the prototype of a soul bone.
After the death of this Shadow Lord, either a head soul bone or an external soul bone related to the eyes will be produced.
Now it seems to be the latter.
Fortunately, the person sitting next to him is Dugu Bo. After going through so many things and having confirmed their relationship, Dugu Bo should not harbor any ill will towards his grandson-in-law just for a piece of external soul bone, right?
Dugu Bo had consumed a huge amount of soul power to activate his eighth soul skill, Time Freeze, not long ago. His current soul power should be less than one-third of its full state.
If he really wanted to harm his grandson-in-law for a piece of external soul bone, he could only use his fifth soul skill to hide in another space and then find a way to escape.
Dugu Bo stood up and walked in front of Xia Liang, and suddenly he saw a strange scene.
Dark golden lines crawled out from the corners of Xia Liang's tightly closed eyes like living things, and then spread to his ears.
Every time a dark golden line spread an inch, Xia Liang's eye bone would suffer the pain of being cut.
At the same time, he found that his eyesight was constantly improving amidst the intense cutting pain, and the range of his mental perception was sometimes expanding and sometimes shrinking, like the beating of his heart.
Each change of expansion and contraction will expand the overall range of spiritual perception.
It seemed that he discovered that the changes in Xia Liang's eyes were not caused by the negative effects of absorbing the soul ring. Dugu Bo's heart finally relaxed a little. He quickly came up with a guess, that is, the soul bone.
The dark golden lines covering the corners of Xia Liang's eyes should be a head soul bone, but it looks different from ordinary head soul bones.
About half an hour passed.
The changes in Xia Liang's eyes finally stopped, and the dark golden lines that were all over the corners of his eyes were all converged into his pupils.
When he suddenly opened his eyes, a strong dark golden light was released from his eyes, causing Dugu Bo to subconsciously cover his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, Xia Liang discovered that he could sense all objects within a radius of 500 meters. This perception was accompanied by the ability of perspective.
All objects within a radius of 500 meters, including trees, rocks, and various soul beasts, were presented in Xia Liang's spiritual world without any omissions, which temporarily turned his spiritual world into a large ecological environment map.
Xia Liang was surprised that, with the combined effect of spiritual perception and perspective, this was a full-scale perspective effect within 500 meters without blind spots. I'm afraid even a Titled Douluo couldn't do this?
It seemed that his eyes had evolved to an astonishing level after being strengthened by the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, top-level spiritual attributes, and this fifty-thousand-year-old eye bone.
In terms of eyesight and mental strength alone, he is definitely stronger than Dugu Bo, the Titled Douluo. If he has time, he can try to condense his spiritual soul core.
After understanding the branded information in his brain, Xia Liang found out that what he had successfully absorbed was a piece of external eye bone.
After the soul bone is released, the eyes will turn golden due to the stimulation of the soul bone energy.
In addition to greatly enhancing eyesight and mental strength, this external eye bone can also display various spatial attribute skills through eyesight.
For example, before, the black flame could only be applied to the target through the skeleton arm as a conduit.
Now you only need to use the external eye bone to enhance your eyesight so that you can ignite the black flame on the target from a distance.
For example, by combining eyesight with spatial attributes, one can forcibly break the target's limbs from a long distance and send it into another space.
The spatial attribute of the external eye bone has another function. That is to temporarily transfer the attack or objects overlapping with the body to a different space, thus achieving another virtualization effect.
In other words, in the future, when facing any non-mental attack, with the support of the fifth soul skill and the external eye bone, he will be able to have two types of virtual self-defense. In this way, even when facing a full-strength attack from a Titled Douluo, he can be guaranteed to have two golden medals of immunity from death.
"Boy, are you okay?" Dugu Bo asked with concern.
Xia Liang shook his head, "I'm fine, senior, don't worry, the Shadow Lord's soul ring has been absorbed successfully. I am now a level 56 soul king."
"Jumping six levels of soul power in a row? How is this possible?" Dugu Bo found it hard to believe.
"Nothing is impossible." Xia Liang smiled, "Think about it, I absorbed a 50,000-year-old fifth soul ring. What's more, I also fused a 50,000-year-old external eye bone with it."
"External eye bone?" Dugu Bo suddenly realized, "Could this soul bone be related to your eyes suddenly turning golden?"
"Yes." After answering, Xia Liang took out two soul bones from the silver bracelet.
Among them, the black and purple soul bone is the left arm bone that exploded from the Death Demon Spider. The soul bone is 20,000 years old and has poisonous properties.
The blue-gray soul bone is the ten thousand year old left leg bone that exploded from the white-clothed man, and it has wind attributes.
"Senior, please give these two soul bones to Yanyan."
As he spoke, Xia Liang handed the soul bone he had just taken out to Dugu Bo and explained, "The poisonous attribute Death Spider Left Arm Bone naturally needs no further explanation. The wind attribute Ten Thousand Years Left Leg Bone's soul skill can generate wind airflow, and the poison mist has fluidity. This wind attribute soul bone will surely expand the coverage of the poison mist. It will definitely be good for Yanyan's poison control."
Looking at the two pieces of ten thousand year soul bones handed to him, Dugu Bo's eyes first showed a look of surprise, and then he reacted, "Boy, you gave these two soul bones to Yanyan, don't tell me that you already have soul bones for these two parts?"
"Not yet. The absorption of soul bones also depends on the matching degree. Yanyan's absorption of these two soul bones will undoubtedly bring out the effect of the soul bones to the extreme. Moreover, I just absorbed a 50,000-year-old eye bone, which is already very satisfying. So these two soul bones should be given to Yanyan. The benefits cannot all go to me alone."
After hearing this story, Dugu Bo took the two soul bones and put them into his own storage soul guide. He naturally knew how rare soul bones were, let alone ten thousand year soul bones.
This grandson-in-law was willing to leave the two ten-thousand-year soul bones to his granddaughter instead of choosing to keep them all for himself. This kind of affection is truly rare.
"Boy, now that you have absorbed the spirit ring, leave now." Dugu Bo said with some concern, "After all, this is the territory of the Spirit Hall. You have too many treasures on you. If they target you, I can't protect you."
"Okay. Senior, wait a moment." After responding, Xia Liang walked to the body of the Shadow Lord and activated the external eye bone skill. Under the focus of his eyes, the body of the Shadow Lord suddenly twisted, rotated, and finally disappeared on the spot.
At the same time, in the strange space within the realm of the undead, the disappeared body of the Shadow Lord was lying quietly inside.
Just now, Xia Liang used the ability of the external eye bone to transfer objects to another space.
The larger the object being transferred, the more soul power is consumed.
After the test just now, he found that it took nearly one-fifth of his soul power to transfer the Shadow Lord who was twelve meters tall.
After the external eye bone is completely integrated with the body, the consumption of soul power when performing skills should be reduced.
No matter what, this trip to hunt the Shadow Lord is a huge profit. Judging from the cards we currently have, we can escape safely even if faced with the pursuit of a Titled Douluo.
With the blessing of the fusion talent of five soul rings, the skeletal Susanoo will enter the third stage of half-armor form, which is enough to kill any peak soul saint across levels.
Five days later, afternoon.
In the Sunset Forest, near the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.
After eating the magical herb Snow Swan Kiss, a Haunter was floating in the air, imitating Xia Liang's closed eyes and meditating, trying hard to absorb the medicinal power of the magical herb.
Since there is only one Snow Swan Kiss, there is also only one Haunter that can possibly awaken the poison attribute.
The origin of the Haunter has been stored in a different space. I hope everything will go as expected, otherwise such a precious herb will be wasted.
Let Haunter absorb the power of the elixir alone, Xia Liang activated the external eye bone skill to transfer the Shadow Lord's body out of the alien space.
After activating the skeletal Susanoo, he controlled the Susanoo claw with devouring ability to pierce the body of the Shadow Lord, just like he had devoured the body of the Red-Eyed Dryad King before.
An hour later.
Devouring is over.
As the Shadow Lord's corpse turned into light and was sucked into Susanoo's Claw, the changes in the Undead Skeleton Soul were not too obvious.
In general, after devouring the corpse of the Shadow Lord, the overall bone mass of the Undead Skeleton Martial Spirit increased significantly, and the Susanoo Claw has evolved to 20,000 years. The Ten Fist Sword has evolved to 30,000 years.
In terms of attributes, the Undead Skeleton Martial Soul's strength, defense, and space attributes have been improved.
Unfortunately, the space attribute did not become a top attribute overnight. It seems that compared with other attributes, the upgrade of the space attribute is relatively difficult.
Just as Xia Liang finished devouring the Undead Skeleton Martial Soul, Haunter, which was floating in the air, had also completed absorbing the medicinal power of the Snow Swan Kiss.
The originally black and purple Haunter now looks light purple, and its red tongue turns blue.
Haunter and Xia Liang's souls are connected, and he can clearly tell the difference between the Haunter that has turned into a different color and the previous Haunter.
First, it was as expected.
Just a little bit of Snow Swan's Kiss can cause any virus in the area it touches to multiply a thousandfold.
Since this kind of drug power is effective on the blood pool in the Hell Road of the City of Slaughter in the original work, it will naturally be effective on Haunter, which is composed entirely of undead energy and the breath of death.
As a result, Haunter awakened a very special viral property.
Not only can it release skills related to the death poison, but it can also multiply the experience gained by relying on the virus properties.
In other words, this different-colored Haunter is not only stronger than other Haunters, but also has higher growth potential.
There are currently 100 Haunter's origins stored in the alien space. In the future, 100 more Haunters with growth potential can be summoned.
These Haunters are led by the different-colored Haunters.
When the alien space becomes larger, add the origin of Haunter to allow the Haunter Army to continue to expand.
The saying goes, "Train your troops for a thousand days and use them for a moment."
The main purpose of training so many Haunters is to use them to find soul beasts.
The soul beast Xia Liang is looking for this time is the eighty thousand year old Blue Silver King.
It's not that this 80,000-year-old Blue Silver King should be regarded as the sixth soul ring, but its 80,000-year-old cultivation may be transferred to the Blue Silver Emperor seedling in some way.
Whether or not one can possess a second martial spirit plant that represents life in the future may depend on this Blue Silver Emperor seedling.
According to the original book, the 80,000-year-old Blue Silver King is hidden in an ancient forest, but the exact location is uncertain.
Fortunately, the Blue Silver Emperor seedling was transformed from the former Blue Silver Emperor A Yin. Among all the memories carried by its soul, there should be information about the 80,000-year-old Blue Silver King.
Walking in front of the Blue Silver Emperor seedlings, Xia Liang couldn't help but sigh that the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire were truly a treasure trove of herbs. In less than a month, the Blue Silver Emperor seedlings planted nearby had grown into a pile of Blue Silver Emperor grass the size of a human head.
The undead realm was activated, and Xia Liang used his mental power to search for the soul memory of the Blue Silver Emperor seedling.
