Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor-Chapter 187: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor []

Qian Daoliu took out five pieces of soul bones from within the soul tool. Each piece exuded an intense aura of soul power, with the lowest quality soul bone being over 30,000 years old.

The five soul bones included a pair of left and right arm bones, a skull bone, a left leg bone, and a rare external soul bone for the right palm.

These five soul bones were like magnets, firmly attracting everyone's attention. To a soul master, each piece was a tremendous temptation. With five high-quality, high-age soul bones presented together, even a Titled Douluo couldn't help but be drawn in.

Golden Crocodile Douluo, who already had six conventional soul bones attached to his body, gazed at the dark golden right palm bone with a hint of deep recollection.

The most precious aspect of external soul bones was their ability to grow. As a soul master advanced to the Titled Douluo level, the soul bone could similarly ascend to the 100,000-year level. Among these high-quality and high-age soul bones, the right palm bone had the longest age.

Chen Ming carefully examined the soul bone, sensing the rich metallic properties and violent aura it emanated. He quickly deduced the origin of the bone.

Given its quality and ferocity, it was almost certainly from the legendary super soul beast: the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

As Qian Daoliu introduced the soul bones, he explained:

"This pair of left and right arm bones are from two 40,000-year-old Auspicious Golden Elephants. These two elephants were a mated pair, and the soul bones they produced shared identical amplification-type abilities. Their effect is to enhance the body and strengthen metallic properties."

"Because these two Auspicious Golden Elephants were closely bonded and had nearly identical ages, the two soul bones are interconnected. When both soul bones are absorbed, they provide an additional enhancement to the body. Furthermore, when soul skills are activated, their effects are multiplied."

The Auspicious Golden Elephant is a top-tier metallic attribute elephant-type soul beast, renowned for its powerful physical abilities and exceptional resistance. It is a formidable soul beast with a golden bloodline.

However, unlike regular soul beasts, it doesn't pass down its bloodline genetically. Instead, it can only be born as a mutation from a select few high-level or top-tier elephant-type soul beasts. Even the offspring of two Auspicious Golden Elephants would only inherit the bloodline but not the form.

This unique trait makes this species extremely rare while also granting it a mysterious aura of fortune. As a result, the Auspicious Golden Elephant is seen as a symbol of good luck.

Hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes lit up. This pair of Auspicious Golden Elephant soul bones seemed tailor-made for him.

Although he wasn't a close-combat soul master, his Chrysanthemum martial soul could perfectly benefit from the metallic properties. Moreover, by absorbing these two soul bones, he would no longer fear close-range attacks. He could simply activate the arm spirit skills and punch his way out.

"As for this skull bone, it comes from a 50,000-year-old Phantom Deer King. It grants a powerful clone skill, allowing up to three clones to be created. These clones possess the same speed and 30% of the strength of the original body. Furthermore, the clones and the main body can switch places with each other."

"This left leg bone is from a 30,000-year-old Ghost Panther. Its attached skill is Nether Protection, which enhances dark attributes, increases speed and provides a soul power concealment effect. If the user is in darkness, the skill's effects are boosted by 50%. Although it is just a 30,000-year-old soul bone, its value rivals that of the skull bone."

Ghost Douluo remained silent, his black shadow-like figure unmoving. However, everyone present could see the two gleams of light shining from his face, which resembled that of a shadowy figure from a detective anime.

These two soul bones provided an enormous boost to Ghost Douluo. The skull bone would make him even more elusive, while the Ghost Panther's left leg bone would perfectly complement the Ghost Panther right leg bone he already possessed.

Although this combination couldn't match the amplification effects of the Auspicious Golden Elephant bones, which could directly double the power of their soul skills, it could still enhance soul skills by an additional 20-30%.

If Ghost Douluo absorbed these two soul bones, his strength would increase by at least 30%. With his current level-95 soul power, he was confident that absorbing these two soul bones would allow him to double his maximum speed compared to his level-94 state.

"As for this external soul bone..."

When Qian Daoliu reached this point, his youthful face showed a hint of hesitation.

He had taken out these items to give as gifts, but he wasn't sure how to explain this particular piece.

"This is an external soul bone for the right palm, originating from an 80,000-year-old super soul beast, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear."

"In general, there are no restrictions on absorbing soul bones. Even a level-one soul master can absorb a 100,000-year-old soul bone. However, there are rare exceptions where certain soul bones have special restrictions."

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

"First, the prerequisite for absorbing this right palm bone is that the user cannot have absorbed a right arm bone. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's external soul bone is exceedingly tyrannical, containing violent metallic power. This right palm bone perfectly inherits the bear's abilities, including its ferocity and a portion of the bear's lingering resentment."

"This Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had nearly reached 90,000 years of cultivation before its death. Its bloodline strength was exceptionally potent, possibly having awakened the ancestral powers of its species. If not for being hunted by humans, it would have undoubtedly become a legendary 100,000-year-old soul beast."

"This bear's intelligence rivaled that of humans before its death, and it harbored immense resentment upon dying. Its hatred is deeply etched into both its soul ring and soul bone."

"When a Soul Douluo attempted to absorb its ninth soul ring, they were killed by the ferocity of the ring's power. The ferocity within this soul bone is no less intense than that of the ring."

"Absorbing this soul bone requires an exceptionally high-quality martial soul, one no weaker than the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's. The user must also possess extraordinary physical and mental strength; otherwise, the ferocity will consume them, destroying the entire arm."

"To even attempt absorbing this bone, one should first possess a 10,000-year skull bone and at least reach the Soul Sage level. Furthermore, they must be a power-attack type soul master with a super martial soul. Even within Spirit Hall, such individuals are exceedingly rare."

"In comparison, the requirement of not having a right arm bone is the most lenient."

"This soul bone has been in Spirit Hall for nearly 500 years. Many have attempted to absorb it, but none have succeeded. Eventually, the High Priest of that generation ordered all future High Priests to carry this soul bone with them to prevent unnecessary losses."

As Qian Daoliu spoke, he hesitated again, seemingly considering whether to exchange the bone for another of similar value. To him, this 80,000-year-old soul bone was akin to a sweet trap—tempting but fraught with danger.

He had shown this bone to the worships of Spirit Hall, but none could absorb it.

Golden Crocodile Douluo had once tried to turn this unruly soul bone into his power. However, the ferocity invaded his body, nearly killing him. He was only saved by the intervention of the High Priest. Since then, Golden Crocodile Douluo had avoided the bone entirely.

If Qian Daoliu wished, he could forcibly absorb the bone, even though he had already absorbed a right arm bone. By relying on the divine power of the Angel God, he could overpower and fuse with it. However, he saw no need to take such risks.

At this moment, Chen Ming's eyes lit up, and he became eager.

"Grand Worship, may I give it a try?"

"Give it a try... very well," Qian Daoliu nodded reluctantly, agreeing to Chen Ming's request.

He had taken this bone out to let Chen Ming try. If Chen Ming succeeded, it would be ideal. If not, given their proximity to the Angel God's statue and the Angelic Holy Sword, Qian Daoliu could borrow the Angel God's power to forcibly interrupt the absorption process.

At worst, Chen Ming would need some recovery time, and his right palm would be fine.

Qian Daoliu's cautious nature was evident. Had he been less conservative, his talent might have allowed him to complete the nine trials and ascend to godhood.

Chen Ming took the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right palm bone. The moment his fingers touched the bone, he felt its intense resentment and ferocity.

This was the hatred and malice intertwined with the bear's bloodline and vitality. While the Angel martial soul had purification abilities, purifying this bone would strip it of its soul bone properties, leaving only an ordinary bone.

Resolving this resentment without damaging the soul bone's power was far more challenging than finding another 100,000-year soul bone.

Chen Ming pressed the bone against his right hand and began the absorption process. As the fusion progressed, a stabbing pain radiated through his palm, and a violent malice invaded his spiritual sea, attempting to overwhelm him.

Even a Titled Douluo wouldn't easily suppress such resentment. However, within the spiritual sea, Chen Ming was in his domain.

In the physical world, facing a nearly 100,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear would be a daunting task. But in the spiritual world? Chen Ming glanced at the snarling bear, and its resentment froze in place. The malice and anger were instantly immobilized, transforming into a statue formed of spiritual energy.

Chen Ming didn't immediately destroy it, as he was curious about how a soul beast like the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear managed to embed its resentment into a soul bone.

If he could figure out this technique, he might be able to set traps for others in the future.

Even if he couldn't replicate the technique, Chen Ming could refine the malice into the soul bone itself, enhancing its quality further.
