Douluo: Wuhun Longyuan Sword, I have become the scabbard

Chapter 102 The Sixth Soul Skill
Vera sensed the aura emanating from Ding Quan with a strange expression. As someone with extreme attributes, she was confident that she wouldn't be mistaken, but that's precisely why she was shocked.

Having one ultimate attribute already makes one an ultimate martial soul; what kind of existence would one have if they possessed two or more?

"It's impossible to possess all five ultimate attributes at the same time. Quan said there's no martial soul with only two ultimate attributes." Ling sensed it for a moment; she knew that Ding Quan was absorbing the five elemental attribute soul rings.

When Ding Quan reaches the extreme of one attribute, the other attributes become less prominent.

Moreover, only the metallic aura lasts the longest; the rest vanish in an instant, without even a breath.

"It seems so. That's quite remarkable." Vera nodded in agreement. Even though the aura was fleeting, it meant there was a possibility of possessing it in the future.

"I originally thought it would be dangerous for Quan to absorb these two inner cores, but now it seems he was prepared."

Ling looked at the Suanni soul, which had grown even larger now. It had absorbed a lot of energy from the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, which had helped it grow considerably.

"This guy is about 50,000 years old."

"Quan's improvement this time is probably no less than yours, Wei'er."

"That's for the best." Wei'er looked at Ding Quan, who already had a spirit ring. It seemed that Ding Quan's sixth spirit ring was complete. Now, it looked more like Ding Quan was comprehending the power brought by the spirit ring. And every time Ding Quan comprehended, his strength would increase significantly.

Under their gazes, the golden dragon tattoo on Ding Quan's body came alive again, and then a dragon's might appeared, and a pale golden light slowly spread out, becoming more and more intense.

Immediately, a huge golden dragon soul flew out from between Ding Quan's eyebrows and coiled around Ding Quan's body. The aura of this golden dragon soul was similar to that of the current Suanni.

Their growth rate is now limited, restricted by Ding Quan's mental power.

"Dragon Abyss Domain?"

"The Dragon Abyss Domain is getting stronger! This is the domain evolving." Within this domain, Ling could feel an amplification on his body, and the effect of the amplification was getting bigger.

"This increase is at least twice as much as before, and I'm afraid the same applies to the suppression of others."

Domains can also evolve as a Soul Master's cultivation level increases, but many Soul Masters cannot do this unless they acquired the domain skill a long time ago.

"It seems that the suppression of mental power in this field has become stronger, and Quan's mental power has increased to an extremely terrifying degree."

Ling felt his spiritual power become extremely active under the influence of the Dragon Abyss Domain, causing his level 59 bottleneck to begin to loosen, and he would reach level 60 within this time.

"The age of Ding Quan's head soul bone has now reached 50,000 years." Two small horns have appeared on Ding Quan's head, and they have grown longer. The sharp aura made Wei'er turn her head to look at him.

As a Soul Master's strength increases, the age of their external Soul Bone also increases. Logically speaking, Ding Quan, who is at the Soul Emperor stage, should have an external Soul Bone age of around 20,000 years, but now it has already exceeded 50,000 years.

"Also, the color of this spirit ring." It's another gray spirit ring, but it's a rather unique shade of gray.

"We'll know once Izumi wakes up."

"Huh, this situation is the same as what happened to you before, Vera."

"is it?"

In Ling and Wei'er's eyes, Ding Quan's sixth spirit ring grew increasingly dark, yet it remained gray.

What surprised Ling even more was that the gray color on the sixth spirit ring was also spreading to the other five spirit rings, giving them a delicate gray tinge.

At this moment, the energy of the two inner cores seemed to be exhausted, and a storm arose around Ding Quan, with the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) instantly gathering towards him.

It started again.

Ling and Wei'er exchanged a glance. Ding Quan's cultivation had indeed caused a great commotion, and this time it seemed even greater than before.

Fortunately, there was no danger. Those powerful figures dared not come over to investigate the scene. There were no Title Douluo level experts in Soto City. They sensed that Ding Quan's aura was getting stronger and stronger, and it seemed that he would eventually be more than level sixty-one.

As night fell, four or five hours had passed since Ding Quan absorbed the soul ring.

Ding Quan's aura finally stabilized. Now, Ding Quan only had one aura: the Dragon Abyss Sword exuded a sharp aura, which was comparable to Wei'er's lightning attribute in terms of metal attribute. Without a doubt, Ding Quan's Dragon Abyss Sword now possessed the ultimate attribute and had completely become the ultimate martial soul.

Then the golden domain began to slowly shrink, finally engraving a mark on the Dragon Abyss Sword that was even deeper than before, like a flying dragon.

The Suanni and the Golden Dragon's souls had long since entered Ding Quan's spiritual sea. Ding Quan nodded as he looked at the two souls, which had grown considerably larger. These two souls had already surpassed the age of fifty thousand years.

His spiritual sea expanded several times over this time, and his spiritual power increased more than double. After breaking through to the Soul Emperor realm, his spiritual power surged, and the age of his head soul bone and the external soul bones of his eyes was greatly improved, resulting in a boost to his spiritual power that was incomparable to what he had experienced before.

The 50,000-year lifespan is a major hurdle for soul beasts, similar to the realm of soul masters and soul saints. Once crossed, one becomes a powerful being, and this is the final hurdle among the three major hurdles for soul masters.

Within the five internal organs, the soul power circulated ceaselessly. After absorbing the two inner cores, the five elements of the body seemed to have gained sentience. Without Ding Quan's control, the five elements of the body could freely transform.

Feeling the changes in his body, Ding Quan slowly opened his eyes.

The moment Ding Quan opened his eyes, two golden beams shot out from them, and to Ling and Wei'er's astonishment, a tree that was struck burst into flames.

"Quan, is this some kind of mental attack?" Ling and Wei'er were startled.

"Yes, it's much more powerful than before, and now it can destroy objects."

“Your mental strength is probably something even some Title Douluos might not possess.” Ling looked at the burning tree. Destroying a tree with mental strength is something many Title Douluos cannot do, and the group had all met Title Douluos before.

"Soul power is level 63. These two inner cores are indeed powerful." Ding Quan slightly opened his right hand, and the Dragon Abyss Sword beside him landed directly in his hand.

With a surge of spiritual energy, six soul rings transformed into circular rings and landed on the blade of the Dragon Abyss Sword before their eyes.

The first five rings remained the same, but the sixth gray soul ring moved directly to the middle of the five rings and turned into a slowly rotating gray ring.

Under the influence of the gray ring at the center, the five rings began to rotate slowly.

Five auras simultaneously appeared on the Dragon Abyss Sword, and the five differently colored rings were also stained with a layer of gray, as was the Dragon Abyss Sword itself.

"This sign is similar to what Wei'er did before." "Perhaps my martial soul also has the potential to become a divine artifact." Ding Quan looked at the Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand. At a certain level, one can transform their own martial soul into a divine artifact. The Sea God did just that; his martial soul became the Sea God Trident.

Moreover, Ding Quan also knew that tens of thousands of years later, a top genius condensed half a godhood and turned his martial soul into a divine artifact.

If this era could achieve this, perhaps one could cultivate oneself into a god without inheriting the divine position of others.

"Quan, how are your soul skills?"

"I call my sixth soul skill Yin-Yang Transformation. Like my fifth soul skill, it doesn't need to be activated; it allows one's attributes to be transformed into each other." Although this soul ring didn't provide any skills, Ding Quan was very satisfied with its effects.

The Five Elements and Yin and Yang are inherently complementary. After acquiring this Yin-Yang attribute Soul Ring, one no longer needs to worry about the balance of the Five Elements being disrupted. This Soul Ring also provides comprehensive enhancement to oneself.

Seeing the five elemental attribute soul rings on the Dragon Abyss Sword turn gray, the age of these soul rings is no longer meaningful. The effect of releasing his soul skill is nothing like that of a soul skill under ten thousand years old. The enhancement of his soul skill to this extent is too terrifying for him.

He felt the five elements within his body had become several times stronger, a level he had never achieved even when using all his soul skills and the two domains.

His current total soul power is close to that of a Title Douluo, only slightly less than that of the Serpent Spear Douluo.

Moreover, as long as one's own five elements attributes are enhanced, one's strength will become even more terrifying, and it seems that this improvement has no end, at least Ding Quan is completely unaware of it at the moment.

"It's probably more than that."

"It also has other abilities. This spirit ring enhances my attributes in all aspects, and the current increase is more than double. Moreover, the age of this spirit ring can increase as my strength increases."

"A natal spirit ring?" Ding Quan had mentioned that such spirit rings were extremely rare.

"You could say that. It's already nearly 70,000 years old." Ding Quan nodded. This soul ring was created with the help of the Suanni soul within his spiritual sea.

As its own strength increases, its age will increase, which can indirectly increase the age of this soul ring.

Moreover, since he can now withstand a spirit ring with a lifespan of nearly 70,000 years, he can indeed consider whether to absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring for his next spirit ring, or even not need to absorb another spirit bone.

As Ding Quan's soul power surged, wisps of lightning appeared on the dark blade of the Dragon Abyss Sword, and a gentle breeze condensed on the blade.

"You now have the attributes of thunder and wind, Quan." Wei'er was somewhat surprised when she saw the power of thunder and wind on the Dragon Abyss Sword, but when she thought of the inner core of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, she felt it was normal.

"Yes, but the wind and thunder attributes don't provide much of an improvement." Ding Quan nodded, and then, as he circulated his soul power, arcs of electricity and light blue wind attributes appeared on his body.

The attributes that appear on the Dragon Abyss Sword can also be used by the user as the scabbard. Moreover, the wind and thunder attributes belong to the wood element in the Five Elements, so the user will not have any pressure using them. These two attributes are due to the inner core of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, as well as the sixth soul skill.

After the five elements of one's own body form a cycle in the five internal organs, it seems that one can also control these two attributes to some extent.

As Ding Quan circulated his soul power, the metal attribute on the Dragon Abyss Sword weakened. To Ling's surprise, a moist aura emanated from the Dragon Abyss Sword, and this water attribute was even stronger than Ling's ice attribute.

"Ultimate Water?"

"It could be considered one, but it's not sustainable and it's rather useless."

“That’s true.” Ling nodded. The ultimate gold was clearly more suitable for the Dragon Abyss Sword, but once it was transformed into this water attribute, the ultimate gold would be gone.

It is already extraordinary for a martial soul to possess an ultimate attribute, even for a martial soul bestowed by the gods.

The extreme attributes are too powerful; one person's body cannot bear two extreme attributes.

Ding Quan remembered that only the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, an auspicious beast, possessed two ultimate attributes, but even after transforming, it only had one ultimate attribute.

Sheathing the Dragon Abyss Sword, Ding Quan looked around at the world, which was now much clearer. The surrounding environment felt exceptionally welcoming, and the energy in the air seemed gentler.

"Quan, is this mark formed from your soul ring?"

"Was it formed because of the influence of my spirit?!" Under the gaze of the group, the gray spirit ring turned black and white, and finally transformed into a shape familiar to Ding Quan.

The yin-yang symbol. It seems unlikely that this symbol would appear in the Douluo Continent.

The moment this mark was formed, the five outer marks spun rapidly, and the Dragon Abyss Sword instantly became radiant with light before settling down and merging directly into its body.

Ding Quan watched as the Dragon Abyss Sword merged into his body, and the five elements cycle within him became one with the Dragon Abyss Sword.

I can feel the changes in my body, so it seems my physical strength will increase significantly in the near future.

"Let's go, let's rest in Soto for a while, and then head to the far north."

"It's still early. I need a little more time to break through to level 60." Ling nodded upon hearing this, but then felt relieved.

With Ding Quan and his sister Wei'er's current strength, even if they enter the far north, as long as they don't encounter soul beasts over 100,000 years old, they should be safe with their flying abilities.

Moreover, if one wants to elevate their own attributes to the extreme, that is the only place where there is a direct and instantaneous possibility.

"No Soul Masters have ventured into the far north, so there is very little information available. This journey to the far north will likely take quite a while."

Although Ding Quan knew some things about the far north, he didn't know if that information was useful in this era. However, he was certain that there were many 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the far north that soul masters had never set foot in, and there were also ferocious beasts.

The ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest have now disappeared without a trace, and there is not even any information about them. Now, the soul masters on the continent believe that after a 100,000-year soul beast breaks through to 100,000 years old, the only path it can take within a thousand years is to transform into human form.

But there is clearly a soul beast in the ocean that is close to a million years old. Haven't these soul masters ever guessed about soul beasts with even higher ages?

Based on information from ten thousand years in the future, it is speculated that the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest may be devouring the cultivation of Tianmeng, who has been around for nearly a million years, in some unknown space.

After tidying up briefly, the group looked towards the far north.

Extreme ice can only be found in the far north.

The far north may be the real forbidden zone for life on the continent, because those ferocious beasts did not hide like the beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, but are still active in the far north.
