Chapter 114 The Fifth Soul Ring and the Fifth Soul Skill
As a 50,000-year-old soul beast, the Shadow Lord has long been intelligent. With the blessing of top-level blood, it has a thinking ability far beyond that of soul beasts of the same level.
Seeing a human being suddenly enveloped by a half-skeleton as huge as himself, the Shadow Lord was stunned at first.
When it saw that the half-skeleton suddenly turned into a half-human and was even bigger than itself, it felt a little threatened.
Especially since the sword just now ignored the defense of the scales and injured itself, it dared not underestimate it.
At this time, the skeletal Susanoo, which has entered the form of a half-man, does have the aura of suppressing everything.
After all, this is a super martial spirit. If it is replaced by the identity of a soul beast, then the half-human form of the skeletal Susanoo is the counterpart of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
Any kind of soul beast will be suppressed when facing a being of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's level.
However, Xia Liang knew that although he was stronger than the Shadow Lord in aura, if they really competed in strength, it would be impossible for him to win by crossing levels.
What he could do now was not to hunt down the Shadow Lord himself, but to delay time as much as possible and let Dugu Bo come to the rescue.
If even Dugu Bo cannot rescue himself from this strange space, then his fate will inevitably be to become food for this Shadow Lord.
roar--
After a roar, the Shadow Lord's burly body floating on the ground suddenly moved. It had no ability to fly, but rushed forward like a maglev train. The huge black and purple dragon claws suddenly raised up and grabbed the boned Susanoo through the air.
The skeletal Susanoo's left hand was suddenly wrapped in dark aura and turned into Xia Liang's bone dragon with its left palm bone attached, and it also grabbed forward through the air.
I saw two huge dragon claws collide with each other in mid-air, with their palms touching and five claws interlocking.
At this moment, the Skeleton Susanoo and the Shadow Lord seemed to be forced to teleport, and both suddenly flashed in front of each other.
The Shadow Lord swung out his free dragon claw in his right hand, and the skeletal Susanoo's right hand holding the spiral gun also stabbed out at the same time.
The dragon claw and the spiral spear collided with each other, but it was the Shadow Lord's dragon claw that tightly grasped the spiral spear that was stabbed by the skeletal Susanoo.
Both arms were engaged in a fierce strength contest.
Suddenly, two new arms grew out from behind the skeletal Susanoo. The two new arms were raised high, and the palms were closed and smashed down hard on the Shadow Lord's head.
There was a muffled thud.
The Shadow Lord was hit in the soul by the sudden blow. As the soul attacked his body, he could not help but feel a pain in his head.
At this moment, the skeletonized Susanoo's left hand shook off the dragon claw of the Shadow Lord that was fighting against it, and a sharp and slender black bone popped out from the palm of its left hand, and the bone dragon stabbed accurately on the left chest of the Shadow Lord.
Although the Shadow Lord's chest was protected by thick scales, he was currently in the realm of the undead, and the attacks of the skeletal Susanoo were direct attacks on the soul.
The damage caused by the Bone Dragon's stab hitting the Shadow Lord's chest was immediately fed back to the Shadow Lord's body through his soul.
It let out a terrible roar, and as its body moved backward, its right dragon claw let go of the spiral gun that it was holding tightly.
What surprised Xia Liang was that the next second after his body moved backwards, the Shadow Lord actually counterattacked. His left dragon claw swept across the air and actually shattered the left half of the skeletonized Susanoo's body.
Even though the Shadow Lord's soul was hit by the Bone Dragon's thorns, it seemed that his soul was only slightly injured and not fatal.
This shows how big the gap in strength between the two sides is.
Fortunately, with the healing ability of the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, Xia Liang mobilized his soul power to quickly repair the shattered left half of the ossified Susanoo's body.
The moment the Shadow Lord stabilized his body, the skeletal Susanoo had also returned to its original state, turning into a complete half-man holding a spiral gun.
With excellent thinking ability, after the simple fight just now, the Shadow Lord immediately realized that although he was not as powerful as the opponent, he was much stronger than the opponent. If he continued to fight like this, his dragon claws would definitely tear the opponent into pieces.
roar--
With a roar, the Shadow Lord seemed to be announcing his dominance in this alien space. It swept forward with its claws, leaving two huge crossed scratches that flashed by and actually exploded on the skeletal Susanoo through the air.
Xia Liang had no chance to react to such a sudden attack. When he looked up, he saw that the half-human skeletal Susanoo had only one-third of its ribs left to cover him, and the rest of its upper body was shattered?
The healing ability of the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone continued to activate. The super strong repair ability allowed the huge broken ribs to quickly become complete and grow a skull and arms, and then put on a black and purple energy coat and re-entered the giant half-man form.
Just when the Shadow Lord was about to launch his next attack, Xia Liang had already controlled the spiral gun held in the skeletal Susanoo's right hand to stab out suddenly.
It was also an attack from a distance. The spiral gun hit the Shadow Lord's chest without any warning. The umbrella-shaped spiral gun body spun wildly, stabbing the Shadow Lord's chest like an electric drill.
Under the effect of the Undead Realm, the Shadow Lord's soul was suddenly attacked so crazily by the spiral gun that it was finally severely damaged.
It was at this time.
Everything around me suddenly stopped.
Whether it is the spiral gun that is spinning wildly, or the skeletal Susanoo and Xia Liang who is covered inside.
In the entire alien space, everything was still as if time had stopped.
Xia Liang originally thought it was the skill of this Shadow Lord, but he could see that the huge Shadow Lord on the opposite side was also in a stationary state.
If this time freeze wasn't the Shadow Lord's ability, then whose ability was it?
After a moment, the entire alien space suddenly shattered like a piece of transparent glass.
When he reacted, Xia Liang found that he and the Shadow Lord had already left that dark space.
The power of perspective broke through the heavy black fog and saw that what appeared before his eyes was a stone forest.
He had already escaped from the Shadow Lord's alien space and returned to the Death Canyon, back to the spatial plane that truly belonged to him.
Although his body was still in a still state, Xia Liang's thoughts did not stop. He saw a emerald green bead floating in the air in front of him.
The emerald green bead seemed to be sucked by something and suddenly flew into the mouth of an old man with dark green hair.
Seeing the old man with dark green hair, Xia Liang felt relieved immediately, because this man was Dugu Bo.
From the original novel, we know that Dugu Bo's eighth soul skill can freeze time. It seems that the reason why he and the Shadow Lord were frozen in time was because of Dugu Bo.
Noticing Xia Liang appear in front of him, Dugu Bo's heart finally relaxed a little. His eyes were first attracted by the motionless half-human form of the skeletal Susanoo, and then he looked at the Shadow Lord who was also motionless.
"Boy, you've managed to hold out for so long in the hands of a 50,000-year-old spirit beast. Your skeleton spirit is really becoming more and more like a human."
As he spoke, the Medusa soul bone on Dugu Bo's forehead was released, and a gray-white light burst out from the soul bone and went straight towards the motionless Shadow Lord.
When the gray-white light hit the Shadow Lord's back, there was no sound of explosion, but the Shadow Lord's back began to petrify.
Then, its ten-meter-tall body turned into stone bit by bit, and finally became a huge gray-white statue.
This is exactly Dugu Bo's head soul bone skill, Medusa's Gaze, which can petrify all targets, including energy attacks.
The time freezing effect of the eighth soul skill is removed.
All objects within a radius of thousands of square meters regained their freedom, and the black fog, wind, and fallen leaves that had been frozen in time finally began to move.
Xia Liang was also able to move freely, and the skeletal Susanoo covering him immediately retracted the spiral gun to avoid crushing the Shadow Lord who had been completely petrified.
"After being petrified by my Medusa's gaze, this Shadow Lord won't live long. It would be a waste to let it go. Boy, since you want to absorb its spirit ring, then do it quickly. After killing it, we must evacuate as soon as possible. If we make such a big noise, the spirit masters from the Spirit Hall will definitely come over."
When the sound of the last word disappeared, Dugu Bo had already flown fifty meters away.
"Understood, senior." After responding, Xia Liang controlled the skeletal Susanoo to hold the spiral gun with both hands, and then stabbed it towards the ground fiercely.
The effect of the aerial attack was activated, and the spiral gun that was pierced into the ground suddenly pressed down from the top of the completely petrified Shadow Lord's head. The madly rotating spiral gun body continued to penetrate the Shadow Lord's head, but it could not kill him.
What Dugu Bo did not expect was that the thick scale armor on the Shadow Lord's body actually offset some of the petrification damage from Medusa's gaze, so the Shadow Lord still had the strength to resist.
Just as the spiral gun pierced its head, the petrification effect on the Shadow Lord was lifted. It raised its two dragon claws to grasp the madly spinning spiral gun, struggling in its death throes.
Seeing this scene, Xia Liang controlled the skeletal Susanoo's left hand to sweep diagonally upwards. A huge scratch suddenly hit the Shadow Lord's chin, knocking it directly into the air.
At the same time, Xia Liang activated the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone skill to fly, and the huge skeletal Susanoo flew towards the floating Shadow Lord and stabbed out a wildly spinning spiral gun.
Whoosh, swish, swish, swish——
The spiral gun pierced the chest of the Shadow Lord with a loud sound of breaking through the air. As the skeletal Susanoo twisted its body forcefully in the air, the rotating spiral gun body threw the Shadow Lord's huge body to the ground.
When the Shadow Lord fell to the ground, another spiral gun stabbed out from the air. The madly spinning spiral gun body, with the blessing of the undead realm, finally pierced through the Shadow Lord's soul.
The Shadow Lord's physical body was equally severely damaged.
The ossified Susanoo pulled the spiral gun out of the Shadow Lord's body, dragging out its soul along with it.
The Spiral Gun is a new weapon formed by the fusion of Susanoo Claw and Totsuka Sword. It not only has the devouring ability of Susanoo Claw, but also has the effect of sealing souls and turning bones of Totsuka Sword.
The Shadow Lord's soul was sealed in the spine of the Undead Skeleton Martial Spirit the next second after it was dragged out by the spiral gun.
After the Shadow Lord's soul is completely refined, the Undead Skeleton Martial Soul will grow the Shadow Lord's most outstanding body part as an external soul bone.
Dugu Bo, who was floating fifty meters away, could not see the undead, so naturally he did not know the whole process of how the spiral gun had just sealed the Shadow Lord's undead.
He just discovered through perception that the Shadow Lord was completely dead after being petrified by Medusa's gaze and being slaughtered in such a way.
The ossified Susanoo state was lifted, and Xia Liang also retracted the right leg bone of Blue Silver Emperor and landed safely. After a series of battles, his soul power was already very little. If it weren't for the healing ability of the right leg bone of Blue Silver Emperor that restored his strength and physical condition, he would probably have fainted.
Death Canyon, core area.
Somewhere in a cave.
After eating a large recovery sausage, Xia Liang's soul power had recovered by one third.
He sat cross-legged in front of the Shadow Lord's corpse, and used his soul power to guide the black ten-thousand-year soul ring floating on the corpse into his body.
Dugu Bo sat aside, alertly sensing the area within a thousand-meter radius with his mental power to avoid being disturbed by any soul beasts or soul masters.
This time Xia Liang was going to absorb the 50,000-year fifth soul ring, so he had to eliminate all external factors and unexpected situations. The rest could only be left to Xia Liang himself.
After all, outsiders cannot help a soul master absorb soul rings.
Dugu Bo looked at Xia Liang, who had already begun to absorb the Shadow Lord's soul ring, with concern. He felt that he had acted too impulsively. If he failed to absorb the soul ring, he would not only lose a grandson-in-law with such high talent and such a deep friendship, but also be ashamed to face his granddaughter.
However, Dugu Bo's worries were unnecessary.
Because he didn't know that in addition to absorbing each soul ring beyond his level and taking magical herbs, Xia Liang had also eaten a large amount of whale glue to enhance his physical fitness.
In addition, he also has a left metacarpal bone of a bone dragon that is ten thousand years old and a one hundred thousand year old Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone.
How could a body transformed by a hundred thousand year soul bone not be able to withstand the energy impact of a fifty thousand year soul ring?
Furthermore, the Shadow Lord's soul had been sealed in the spine of the Undead Skeleton Martial Soul. The Shadow Lord's soul ring absorbed at this time did not have soul vibrations attached, so it would be much easier to absorb.
The facts also prove this.
After guiding the Shadow Lord's soul ring into his body, Xia Liang only took three hours to tame and completely absorb the soul ring's energy.
At this time, he was skillfully using the fifth soul skill granted by the Shadow Lord's soul ring in the spiritual world.
It was only after a series of battles that Xia Liang realized that in addition to the top-level dark attribute, the Shadow Lord also had top-level space attributes.
After absorbing the Bone Dragon Soul Ring, the Undead Skeleton Martial Soul already possessed a trace of spatial power. This time, after being transformed by the Shadow Lord Soul Ring, the Martial Soul truly awakened its spatial attribute.
After using Susanoo's Claw to devour the corpse of the Shadow Lord, the Undead Skeleton Martial Soul should be able to get closer to the top-level spatial attributes.
Looking back on the experience of being suddenly caught in an alien space, Xia Liang couldn't help but feel scared. Fortunately, everything went well. With the fifth soul skill granted by the Shadow Lord's soul ring, he no longer has to worry about being taken into an alien space to fight by the enemy.
Because the fifth soul skill, Dark Territory, is not only a domain-related skill, but also an ability to create a different space.
Surprisingly, the alien space created by the fifth soul skill is actually connected to the realm of the undead.
In other words, today's undead realm is equivalent to a storage soul guide, possessing the effect of an alien space that can store dead or living things.
After activating the fifth soul skill, you can suck yourself or others into a different space within the realm of the undead.
