Chapter 355 - Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor [355]
"Does a set of soul bones have such an ability?" Chen Ming thought for a moment and felt that it probably did not. It was more likely that his current clone was simply too unique.
A full set of soul bones from the Man-Faced Demon Spider, combined with the external soul bone Eight Spider Lances also derived from the same creature, and the Man-Faced Demon Spider Emperor martial soul, which was born from the power of the Man-Faced Demon Spider and could serve as a vessel for the divine power of the God of Evil—these three elements together might be the reason why the soul bones could grow.
Because this set of soul bones was inherently integrated with the martial soul, the Eight Spider Lances were merely a catalyst that brought the soul bones to life, granting them the ability to grow once more.
Chen Ming placed his hand on the Evil God clone, refining the bloodline and origin of the clone. He reversed and refined the excess bloodline belonging to the Man-Faced Demon Spider into his martial soul, adjusting his state to an even more optimal level.
Then, as soul power surged through both bodies, the Evil God clone turned into a stream of light and merged into Chen Ming's body. His physique also underwent slight changes.
This was not a case of transforming the Evil God clone into a martial soul but rather a martial soul fusion technique. The Evil God clone was something Chen Ming had painstakingly crafted, from its flesh to its soul power and even its martial soul. Its integration with Chen Ming was almost 100%.
Although the boost provided by the Evil God clone in this state was negligible, Chen Ming could keep it on him as an accessory.
...
After spending a long time on these tasks, Chen Ming took a moment to check on Tang San's life at Shrek Academy. He found that Tang San was currently enjoying himself, competing with Xiao Wu in the Great Martial Soul Arena. His soul power was still at level 31, and it seemed he was still quite far from reaching level 32.
Judging from this, even with the mysterious technique of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Tang San would likely only improve by three levels at most over the next year. Furthermore, the speed at which soul power increases would slow down as his level rises.
This pace of growth was decent for an average soul master. A Soul Ancestor at fifteen years old and a Soul King around twenty would be considered a super genius by conventional standards. However, compared to the growth rate in the original story, it was still lacking.
After confirming that nothing unusual had happened to Tang San, Chen Ming turned his attention to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan. Once he confirmed that there had been no major developments on the continent, he returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to continue cultivating.
This time, his goal was not to increase his soul power but to forge his life soul ring.
Given Chen Ming's current situation, he had numerous methods to obtain either a divine-bestowed soul ring or a soul ring from a fierce beast. After all, aside from the Angel God trial, which had activated the second trial, Chen Ming's Thunder God and Power Destruction God trials had yet to be activated.
At this bottleneck in his soul power, activating any God trial would grant him a divine-bestowed soul ring as a reward for completing the first trial. However, Chen Ming did not want to use a divine-bestowed soul ring for his seventh ring.
The seventh ring, which grants the martial soul avatar, is the most unique of all spirit abilities, and the seventh soul ring is also the one most deeply connected to the martial soul. It is said that the seventh soul ring is the dividing line for high-level soul masters. A good seventh soul ring can even surpass the value of a hundred-thousand-year ninth soul ring.
The life soul ring is special—it is a manifestation and growth of one's power, benefiting any martial soul and soul master. Since Chen Ming's first six soul rings had already been attached, and he had some ideas for the eighth and ninth, it was undoubtedly the best time to attach the life soul ring for his seventh.
...
After a month of preparation, repeatedly improving his condition, and contemplating the most suitable way to forge his life soul ring, Chen Ming finally reached an unprecedented peak state.
At that moment, his martial soul, soul power, mental strength, vitality, spirituality, and even divine power all surged to the forefront.
Chen Ming formed a series of strange hand seals, guiding his martial soul and his origin to resonate with the world.
In this state, a connection between Chen Ming and the world consciousness emerged. Massive amounts of energy were drawn by the world consciousness, and countless law permissions unfolded for Chen Ming to manipulate.
Heaven and earth energy gathered madly, condensing into liquid form around him and being absorbed. The first six soul rings on Chen Ming's martial soul simultaneously lit up, and part of their origin was extracted and merged into the martial soul.

As the transformation unfolded, Chen Ming's martial soul materialized into a massive phantom behind him. The concentrated power caused the entire space to tremble.
As time passed, the phantom moved closer to solidification. The Emerald Scorpion Emperor, with two pairs of wings on its back, waved its pincers as if it wanted to roar at the heavens. At the peak of its momentum, the near-solid Scorpion Emperor phantom suddenly shrank, condensing all its energy into a single point before exploding outward.
In an instant, the terrifying aura suppressed the entire Sunset Forest. All soul beasts, whether ten-thousand-year rulers or hundred-thousand-year overlords, knelt trembling on the ground. Many weaker-willed soul beasts nearly fainted, but the oppressive aura forced them to hover between consciousness and unconsciousness.
A white light erupted, forming a black hole-like structure that drew in vast amounts of heaven and earth energy. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, along with the vitality accumulated within its precious herbs over countless years, was rapidly drained. The once-thriving Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well now seemed barren. Although the sky was clear and cloudless, faint thunder echoed in the distance. With a silent roar or sigh, Chen Ming's figure reappeared within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
At this moment, there was no sign of the Emerald Scorpion or any traces of a scorpion-related martial soul attached to his body. However, four black and three red soul rings floated around him. He stood there quietly, yet it felt as if he was the center of the entire world.
His martial soul was no longer the Emerald Scorpion Emperor—it should now be called the Poison God. It could shift between three forms: scorpion, half-human-half-scorpion, and human. Its essence had evolved into a god-level martial soul, akin to the Sea God's martial soul and the Seraphim martial soul forged by the Angel God.
The other attributes had not been eliminated but were still present within Chen Ming. He had transferred portions of various attributes onto the Ascending Dragon Sword, intending to refine his path further by creating distinct avatars, ultimately aiming to achieve unity through techniques similar to martial soul fusion.
At this moment, Chen Ming could feel the constraints this world imposed on him, as well as the sense that with a little effort, he could break free and ascend to a higher plane.
He was now a level 71 Soul Sage, but his soul power was infinitely close to divine power. Combined with his divine position, divine consciousness, and the divine body formed by merging with the Ascending Dragon Sword, Chen Ming could ascend to the God Realm at any moment.
However, feeling the power within him, Chen Ming shook his head and sighed.
"No, it's still not enough. I need more power.
"The quality is sufficient, but the quantity is lacking. Even if I refined all my soul power into divine power, it would never match a third-level god in the God Realm. They've existed for countless years, reaching their peak long ago.
"Moreover, the God Realm is undoubtedly a high-energy plane. Even if breakthroughs are impossible there, the efficiency of simply accumulating power surpasses that of the Douluo plane many times over. The power they've amassed over countless years far exceeds mine."
"In that case, I'll consider the Evil Emperor or the Deep Sea Demon Whale King for my eighth ring. As for the ninth ring... perhaps Di Tian's hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation could serve as my foundation. However, in terms of sheer accumulated power, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is likely more substantial. After all, it's a genuine million-year soul beast."
"But the Evil Emperor's mental power far surpasses the other two. I'll decide after examining the origins of the three in the future."
As for the Skydream Iceworm, another million-year soul beast with mental power exceeding even the Evil Emperor's? That could be reserved for attaching soul rings to his second martial soul, the Ascending Dragon Sword. After all, Chen Ming doubted whether the Skydream Iceworm's bloated energy could compare to the Evil Emperor's 700,000 years of cultivation.
Chen Ming retracted his aura and stood quietly. As his sixth soul ring lit up, a vast amount of life force erupted from within him, enveloping the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The previously withered plants, drained of vitality, raised their stems once more, basking in the intense life force.
Under the nourishment of this power, several immortal herbs that Chen Ming had been cultivating even began showing signs of transforming into soul beasts.
The first was the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, which Chen Ming had grafted and modified numerous times until it barely resembled its original form. The second was the Nine-Curve Ascending Dragon Grass, which Chen Ming had also tended carefully.
However, the transformation of plants into soul beasts is not something that happens overnight. Even with the accelerated effects of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the process would still take at least a decade, with the development of full sentience potentially requiring centuries.
Chen Ming did have methods to speed up the process and rapidly catalyze the transformation of herbs into soul beasts, but there was no immediate need to do so.
After all, once the herbs developed intelligence, it was hard to predict what might happen.
However, when Dugu Yan reached around level 60, Chen Ming could attempt to elevate the Nine-Curve Ascending Dragon Grass into a soul beast and guide it to sacrifice itself as her sixth soul ring. This would likely elevate her Jade Phosphor Serpent martial soul to the level of a true dragon.
