Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 364 Absorbing the Thunderous Hell Vine Soul Bone, Level 80

Even after absorbing the Dragon Pill, the golden aura around Zhou Sichen had not completely faded.

The energy originating from the Dragon Pill's source was still flowing slowly through the meridians, nourishing every inch of flesh and blood like a gentle stream.

He was not in a hurry to end the two-day cultivation, after all, there was still a whole day before heading to the Douling Empire, enough time for him to absorb and refine the long-dormant Thunder Hell Vine Soul Bone.

His fingertips tapped lightly on his knees. Absorbing soul bones has always been a major event in a soul master's cultivation career.

Especially this top-tier soul bone, which is nearly 300,000 years old, contains enough energy to drive any titled Douluo crazy.

This soul bone has strict requirements for soul masters.

If it were an ordinary Soul Master, even if their Soul Power reached the Title Douluo level, unless they possessed high-quality Thunder attributes, forcibly absorbing it would only result in their body exploding and dying.

But Zhou Sichen was clearly not among them at this moment.

The perfect, flawless golden body trembled gently, every inch of its skin radiating a faint golden light, as if cast from the purest gold.

This physique can not only withstand the impact of extreme attributes, but also actively guide the fusion of special energies.

Let alone a soul bone that is close to 300,000 years old, even a real soul bone that is 300,000 years old would be nothing more than a natural outcome for him.

And this Thunderous Hell Vine left leg soul bone will become the first of his six main soul bones.

The 400,000-year-old Imperial Scorpion Tail of the Ice Emperor and the 100,000-year-old Golden Armor of the Golden Tortoise Shell are both external soul bones.

Both of these external soul bones are rare treasures that are hard to come by. They can evolve as his strength increases, and they will not take up the position of the main soul bone.

Now, with the addition of a top-quality left leg soul bone that is nearly 300,000 years old, the soul bones on Zhou Sichen's body are all at least 100,000 years old.

If it weren't for the fact that his Contract Book Martial Soul followed the path of subjugation rather than killing.

If following the typical cultivation path of a Soul Master, the Snow Empress's 700,000 years of cultivation and the Sea Princess's nearly 600,000 years of foundation would have already provided him with two top-tier super Soul Bones.

Zhou Sichen never regretted it. Although he lost two top-level soul bones, he gained two super combatants who were comparable to level 99 peerless Douluo. No matter how you look at it, this deal was a sure win.

Just as Zhou Sichen was concentrating on absorbing the soul bone, at the other end of the world beneath the Golden Tree, Mu En slowly stood up.

The old man's white beard fluttered gently in the air, and a hint of relief flashed in his cloudy yet deep eyes.

Now that Zhou Sichen has reached his peak condition, he no longer needs to protect him. After all, with this kid's current strength, there aren't many beings in the entire Douluo Continent who can threaten him.

Moon disappeared into the golden shadows of the trees in an instant, his mind preoccupied with Old Man Yi in the room on the top floor.

My friend who's obsessed with necromancy is probably researching some new and interesting stuff these days.

Since Elder Yi moved into Elder Mu's residence, Elder Mu, who had lived for nearly three hundred years, was almost inseparable from Elder Yi.

Although Elder Yi's consciousness is now attached to a small undead skeleton, it cannot stop Elder Mu from becoming friends with Elder Yi.

In the past few days, Mu En has shared his understanding of the Holy Dragon Martial Soul with me, from the original fluctuations of the Light attribute to the methods of circulating his soul power, and even the most subtle insights into the effects of soul skills.

He even gifted a ray of the Holy Dragon's primordial soul power to Elder Yi, hoping that his old friend could use it to create an unprecedented undead creature.

In Zhou Sichen's undead demiplane, the three-headed undead bone dragon was already a top-tier combat force.

Although their core attribute is light, they are cloaked in the guise of the undead. They can unleash destructive dragon breath and control undead calamities. This powerful combination has defeated countless formidable enemies.

If another Holy Light Dragon undead could be added, Zhou Sichen would have another trump card in his hand.

In the world beneath the tree, Zhou Sichen knew nothing about the experiments conducted by Mu En and Yi Lao.

He slowly opened his eyes, his pupils shimmering with golden light, like two miniature suns.

With a light tap of his fingertip on the storage soul tool, an ancient treasure box appeared out of thin air on his lap.

The surface of the treasure box is engraved with intricate runes, shimmering with a faint golden light. It is the sealing technique that Elder Mu used to seal the soul bone of the Thunderous Hell Vine.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Sichen's fingertips traced the grain of the wooden box.

He remembered that Elder Mu had said that once the seal was broken, the energy accumulated in the soul bone would erupt like a volcano, and its power would be comparable to the full-force attack of a Title Douluo.

An ordinary Soul Master would have already laid out heavy defenses by now, but Zhou Sichen just smiled faintly.

"Om-"

His true martial spirit was suddenly released, and his perfect, flawless golden body instantly reached its peak.

In an instant, golden light burst forth from his body, as if countless golden suns were shining on his skin.

His originally upright body slowly grew taller in the golden light, his muscle lines became smoother and more explosive, and in just a few breaths, he transformed into a giant of light nearly three zhang tall.

Every inch of her skin shimmered with a golden halo that seemed almost tangible, and even the air itself was distorted by this power, creating faint ripples.

Zhou Sichen formed a mudra with both hands and, following the method taught by Master Mu, gently twirled his fingertips on the groove of the treasure box.

With a soft "click," the runes on the treasure box receded like the tide, and the lid slowly lifted upwards.

The moment the box was opened, a blinding blue-purple light burst forth!

"Roar--"

It was as if a colossal thunderous beast, dormant for millennia, had awakened, and terrifying thunderous power swept out like a tsunami.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of ozone, and the golden world beneath the trees was reflected as a blue-purple ocean. Countless bolts of lightning, as thick as an arm, darted wildly through the space, emitting deafening roars.

This power was so strong that it faintly revealed the domineering nature of ultimate lightning, even tearing the space itself open with fine black cracks.

However, Zhou Sichen remained as steady as a mountain in the face of such a violent energy impact.

He turned his hands into palms, and suddenly an even more dazzling golden light shone from the palms. An invisible domain spread out from him, and wherever it passed, even the raging lightning seemed to be frozen.

"The king rules the world!"

A deep shout echoed in the world beneath the trees. Zhou Sichen clasped his hands together, and the invisible domain instantly contracted, merging with his golden palms.

At this moment, his hands seemed to transform into the boundary between heaven and earth, with a universe of its own between his palms.

Facing the torrent of lightning powerful enough to tear apart the defenses of a Title Douluo, he neither dodged nor evaded. His palms, like two golden curtains in the sky, slowly converged towards the lightning.

"Boom boom boom!"

Deafening collisions rang out one after another, as blue-purple lightning, like an enraged dragon, slammed into the golden palm.

Each collision unleashed devastating energy ripples, and the roots of the golden tree hummed as if trembling under the impact of this force.

The destructive will contained within the lightning tore at the golden palm's defenses, attempting to shatter the body that dared to bind it. But no matter how the lightning pounded, Zhou Sichen's palms remained as steady as a rock.

Those lightning bolts, powerful enough to make even a Title Douluo wary, could only leave a few fleeting white marks when they struck the golden palm.

The perfect, flawless golden body already possessed near-immortal defensive power, and with the suppression of the "Reign Over the World" domain, it actually managed to manipulate this thunder that was comparable to the full-force attack of a Title Douluo.

Zhou Sichen frowned slightly, and the spatial soul core in his lower dantian began to operate rapidly.

The soul core, formed from spatial attribute soul power, now resembled a rapidly spinning star, emitting a terrifying suction force.

Strands of golden soul power surged from the soul core, flowing along the meridians to the palms, like the finest fishing net, gradually entangled and eroded the violent energy within the thunder.

Time slowly passed in this back-and-forth struggle, and an hour went by unnoticed.

The lightning, which was initially as violent as a tsunami, gradually subsided under the erosion of spatial soul power.

The bluish-purple light grew softer and softer, and the raging lightning transformed into delicate threads that swirled and danced in Zhou Sichen's palm.

After another incense stick's time, the thunder completely lost its ferocity, as if it had transformed into a palm-sized blue-purple lightning sprite.

Zhou Sichen smiled slightly, flicked his finger, and a golden soul force instantly enveloped Lei Ling, transforming it into a crystal-clear ball of light.

This tamed thunder power is extremely useful.

If used to temper the body of a Soul Master, it would be enough to allow an ordinary Soul Saint's physique to directly leap to the level of Soul Douluo, or even higher.

If a Soul Master with the Thunder attribute were to absorb it, the effect would be no less than consuming half a top-grade immortal herb.

He naturally couldn't use this power, and Cao Jinxuan and Long Xiangyue's attributes were also inconsistent with it.

Zhou Sichen looked toward Shrek Academy, and a figure appeared in his mind—Beibei.

Elder Mu even gave up the Dragon Pill that he originally intended for Bei Bei, so giving this Thunder Spirit to Bei Bei can be considered as making up for it.

Moreover, when it comes to the compatibility of lightning attributes, apart from the direct descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, probably no one is more suitable than Bei Bei's mutated martial soul.

Beibei's Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is a benign mutation, perfectly fusing the attributes of thunder and light.

Although he did not evolve into a Holy Dragon of Light like Elder Mu, his potential had already reached the level of a genius.

Zhou Sichen remembered that in the original novel, Bei Bei's seven, eight, and nine spirit rings were all provided by the 20,000-year-old Heavenly Dragon Horse spirit, which undoubtedly limited his potential.

With the help of this Thunder Spirit, Beibei's lightning attribute might be able to advance further, and in the future, she might be able to reach the threshold of ultimate lightning.

After storing the light sphere containing the Thunder Spirit into his storage soul tool, Zhou Sichen's gaze returned to the treasure box.

At this moment, the Thunderous Hell Vine Soul Bone finally revealed its full form.

This is a left leg bone about half a foot long, with a deep blue-purple color throughout. Its surface is covered with vine-like patterns, and each pattern flows with faint lightning.

The shape of the soul bone perfectly matches the left leg bone of a human, yet it exudes a vast and ancient aura originating from ancient soul beasts.

The soul bone, nearly 300,000 years old, even had a faint halo appearing on its surface, so its quality was beyond doubt.

Zhou Sichen took out the soul bone and slowly attached it to his left leg. Under the guidance of the soul power, Zhou Sichen began to absorb it without distraction.

This time, the soul bone was no longer a violent impact, but rather like a river bursting its banks, surging continuously towards his left leg.

Blue-purple lightning snaked and flowed along his left leg, intertwining with golden blood and qi to form a strange and dazzling pattern.

The primal power of the Thunderous Hell Vine spread along the bones, and wherever it passed, Zhou Sichen's left leg bone made a soft "crackling" sound.

The already indestructible bones began to transform further, and a crystal-like luster appeared on the surface.

As time went by, the Thunderous Hell Vine Soul Bone gradually became transparent, eventually transforming into a stream of light and completely merging into Zhou Sichen's left leg.

A burst of brilliant blue-gold light erupted from the surface of his left leg, and a domineering yet powerful aura spread out.

Zhou Sichen slowly stood up and stretched his left leg.

With a "crack," the ground beneath their feet instantly split open in several spiderweb-like cracks, and blue-purple lightning spread along the cracks, dyeing the surrounding golden tree roots with a layer of electric light.

He could clearly feel that his left leg contained a world-destroying power, which could summon thunder and tear the sky apart with just a thought.

"Is this the power of a soul bone that's nearly 300,000 years old?" Zhou Sichen murmured to himself, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

This Thunderous Hell Vine left leg soul bone is indeed top-grade, possessing two soul skills, both of which are top-notch in terms of control and powerful attack.

Most importantly, although the Thunderous Hell Vine's left leg soul bone is not an external soul bone, it can continue to evolve by absorbing the power of thunder.

Elder Mu had previously stated that this soul bone was originally only at the ten-thousand-year level, but it evolved to this state step by step because it was absorbed by an ancestor with an extreme lightning attribute.

Now that Zhou Sichen has fused with this soul bone, there may be an opportunity for it to continue growing to a higher level in the future.

This is why Zhou Sichen didn't use the primordial power left behind by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm to raise this soul bone to the 300,000 realm.

Since this soul bone can be further enhanced by absorbing the power of lightning, Zhou Sichen saw no need to go to the trouble of wasting his source power.

Zhou Sichen will still have a lot of use for the remaining primordial power from the past nine hundred thousand years.

In addition to the two powerful soul skills brought by the Thunderous Hell Vine left leg soul bone, Zhou Sichen's soul power level also increased to level eighty.

In just three days, with the support of a dragon pill and a top-grade soul bone that was nearly 300,000 years old, Zhou Sichen's soul power broke through four levels!
Furthermore, his soul power was not weak at all. The two levels of soul power he gained from absorbing the soul bone, although not as perfectly integrated as when he absorbed the dragon pill, were stabilized after a little time.

Having only been back at Shrek Academy for a few days, his soul power had already increased by almost a year's worth of hard training.

Such a terrifying rate of improvement would make anyone else weep!

Moreover, after Zhou Sichen stabilized his soul power at level 80, he could continue to complete the contract for his eighth soul ring at any time.

The contract partner for the eighth soul ring of the Book of Contracts has already been found, and they are just waiting for the Demon Emperor to return so that they can join forces.

After retracting his flawless golden body, Zhou Sichen's figure returned to normal, and he began to consolidate the soul power he had just gained from fusing with the soul bone.

The world beneath the Golden Tree returned to tranquility, with only golden light and blue-purple lightning slowly intertwining within his body.

Meanwhile, in the room on the top floor, Moon and Elder Yi were talking in hushed tones around a crystal ball that shimmered with an eerie light.

Inside the crystal ball, a wisp of golden soul power was intertwined with a cloud of black mist, showing a faint tendency to form a dragon shape.

Both elderly people wore expectant smiles.

The new undead creatures seem promising!
