The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 137 Dark Blue Silver Emperor

That year, the only three peerless Douluo on the mainland met on Seagod Island.

One of them was Qian Daoliu, another was Tang Chen, the first generation Haotian Douluo of the Haotian Sect, and the third was Poseidon, the high priest of Seagod Island.

When they met on Poseidon Island, Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen both had a soul-fighting spar with Poseidon.

It was during that battle of wits that the two fell in love with Poseidon at the same time.

Later, Poseidon chose Tang Chen, leaving him heartbroken and burying his feelings deep in his heart.

Looking back, Qian Daoliu shook his head helplessly. The Martial Soul Fusion Technique was not only about physical contact, but also about the merging of souls. The emotions generated by the resonance of Martial Souls meant that opposite sexes could never become brothers.

Qian Daoliu wanted to bring his granddaughter and Xia Liang together, not only to find a powerful backer for his granddaughter in the God Realm, but also because he hoped that they would not become each other's regrets.

For a fleeting moment, Qian Daoliu truly wished that Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, grandfather and granddaughter, would die unexpectedly. That way, without Dugu Yan, Xia Liang could only marry his granddaughter, not just be her brother.

But this was even more evil than the secret room incident, so Sendou Ryu abandoned the idea.

Having been defeated fair and square, Qian Renxue had nothing to say. After leaving Xia Liang's embrace, she admitted, "I lost this battle. According to the rules, our seniority is reversed. From today onwards, you are the eldest brother."

"Then hurry up and call me 'Big Brother' so we can hear it," Xia Liang teased.

Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment before reluctantly saying, "Big Brother."

"Okay." Xia Liang responded with satisfaction, patting Qian Renxue on the shoulder. "Xiaoxue, you need to be more respectful when you talk to your older brother in the future. You have to obey whatever your older brother says, understand?"

Before Qian Renxue could reply, Qian Daoliu suddenly walked over. "Alright. You two, if there's anything you don't accept now that the seniority has been re-established, we can discuss it when we get back. Xiaoxue, you've been out hunting soul beasts for almost half a month now. If you don't go back soon, it'll inevitably arouse suspicion from the Heaven Dou royal family."

At this point, Qian Daoliu looked at Xia Liang, a hint of kindness in his eyes. "Child, remember what I said. Once you've escaped the City of Slaughter, you must come to the Hall of Offerings to find me immediately. Understand?"

Xia Liang nodded. "Understood, High Priest."

Thus, Qian Daoliu returned to the Hall of Worship after concluding his hunt for soul beasts.

Qian Renxue and Xia Liang rode together in a carriage back to Tiandou City.

When she went out, Qian Renxue disguised herself as Xue Qinghe and went to various cities to investigate the people's conditions. On her way back to Tiandou City, she did complete the task of investigating the people's conditions, so she did not arouse the suspicion of the Tiandou royal family.

We are currently on the timeline for the Elite Tournament qualifiers, which are being held in Tiandou City.

Upon returning, Xia Liang noticed that the city was several times more crowded than before. Among the bustling crowds, most people were wearing school uniforms of various colors. They came from different colleges and included both teachers and students.

Activating his X-ray vision, Xia Liang walked towards the Dugu Mansion while observing the students of every academy he encountered along the way. He discovered that the students of Shrek Academy had disappeared without a trace.

It seems that after the Tang Hao incident, in order to avoid retaliation, Flander and Liu Erlong had already led all the teachers and students of Shrek Academy away from Tiandou City.

As Xia Liang passed by the Spirit Hall's Holy Temple, several guards at the entrance exchanged glances. Then, one of the guards hurriedly ran into the hall, seemingly rushing to report some important information.

Upon returning to the Dugu Manor, Xia Liang discovered that neither Dugu Bo nor Dugu Yan were there. After finishing dinner, he used the Bone Dragon Dagger in conjunction with spatial teleportation to silently arrive at the entrance of Sunset Forest, and then headed towards the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in the core area of ​​the forest.

Night falls, and the bright moon hangs high in the sky.

A total of ten men in black appeared near the Dugu Mansion. They were elite agility-type soul masters from the Spirit Hall's Holy Temple, and even the weakest among them was a Soul King.

In the afternoon, they received news that Xia Liang had returned to Tiandou City. Dugu Bo happened to be away recently, so the ten men in black were ordered to rush to Dugu Mansion to carry out their mission.

After some investigation, one of the men in black reported to the leader, "Bishop Salas. There's no one in the mansion. That kid named Xia Liang seems to have left not long ago."

Upon hearing this, Salas, dressed in black, looked displeased. However, the Pope's order was that if you could deceive Poison Douluo and capture Xia Liang alive to the Papal Palace, it did not specify that you had to capture him alive, which made the mission less urgent.

"Bishop Salas, what should we do next? If we stay at the Dugu residence and Dugu Bo returns and finds us, we'll all be wiped out," the man in black said.

Salas thought for a moment before waving his hand, signaling everyone to leave quickly. Since they had already found information about this Xia Liang, they only needed to report to the Pope to complete their mission.

As Xia Liang stepped into the misty water, his penetrating vision immediately revealed the two-meter-tall Blue Silver Emperor cocoon.

Judging from the color and thickness of the soul power within its body, the Blue Silver Emperor Giant Cocoon is still a thousand-year-old soul beast, but its cultivation level has increased from the original one thousand years to one thousand three hundred years.

In less than a month, his cultivation level increased by three hundred years. This Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire truly lives up to its reputation as a gathering place of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, making it extremely suitable for plant-type soul beasts to cultivate.

Reaching the Blue Silver Emperor Cocoon, Xia Liang, as usual, cut his wrist and used his own blood to nourish the Blue Silver Emperor Cocoon.

Unlike before, after absorbing the Dark Demon God Tiger Soul Ring, the dark attribute of the Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul became extreme darkness, and the dark energy contained in Xia Liang's blood also became extreme dark energy.

The Blue Silver Emperor's giant cocoon continuously absorbed the blood dripping from his wrist, while simultaneously receiving the influx of the extreme dark energy within the blood.

A strange scene unfolded.

After a few minutes of blood nourishment, the originally blue-gold Blue Silver Emperor cocoon was gradually enveloped by wisps of black aura. This black aura was the Blue Silver Emperor's incredibly surging life force, but after being eroded by the extreme darkness, the surging life force was temporarily mixed with a trace of dark elements.

Seeing the Blue Silver Emperor cocoon in front of him begin to undergo subtle changes, Xia Liang was overjoyed. The blood nourishment containing extreme dark energy could indeed affect the Blue Silver Emperor cocoon.

If this continues, in a few months, the Blue Silver Emperor Cocoon might actually mutate to have dark attributes, thus gaining the ability to devour.

Blue Silver Emperor activated its right leg bone healing skill, restoring lost health while Xia Liang suppressed the healing of his wrist wound. Blood continued to drip onto Blue Silver Emperor's giant cocoon, making its life force increasingly dark.

The blood transfusion lasted for half an hour before Xia Liang finally finished and the wound on his wrist healed.

He immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, relying on the healing power of the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone to accelerate the return of blood to his body.

After his blood volume returned to normal, Xia Liang consumed a piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow. With the aid of ice and fire energy, he absorbed it and transformed the ice energy contained in the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow into his own soul power.

When he finished consuming and refining the fifteenth piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow, his soul power finally increased from level sixty-six to level sixty-seven, and he was still three levels away from breaking through the level seventy bottleneck.

There are still about ten months until the deadline for the first test by the evil god.

Examining the green compartment of the tricolor ring, Xia Liang discovered that of the thirty pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow he had previously kept, only five remained. It seemed that he could no longer rely on the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow to accelerate the improvement of his soul power.

I still need to enter the Killing City and rely on devouring the undead to break through the level 70 bottleneck.

As for the seventh spirit ring, the divine test stipulates that it must be a 100,000-year spirit ring, and it can only be obtained from Xiao Wu, the Titan Giant Ape, or the Azure Bull Python.

Judging from the current plot development, Xiao Wu, Tang San, and the rest of Shrek Academy did not participate in the Elite Tournament, so they may have entered the plot after the Elite Tournament ended ahead of time.

It has now been confirmed that Xiao Wu is cultivating with the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, while the rest of the Shrek Academy members are nowhere to be found. Tang San may be with the Shrek Academy members.

Alternatively, after learning that he was born into the Clear Sky Sect, Tang San might enter the storyline of recognizing his ancestors and returning to his clan ahead of time.

Regardless, Xia Liang felt that there was one more thing he needed to do before entering the City of Slaughter: to go to the ancient forest and capture the 80,000-year-old Blue Silver King alive.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

If Tang San were to acknowledge his ancestry and return to the family, Tang Xiao, the sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect, would know of the existence of the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin. He might then replace Tang Hao and become the one to guide Tang San to seek the help of the Blue Silver King to awaken the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul.

To prevent the opportunity of the Blue Silver King from being taken away, it's better to act first.

After consuming and refining the last piece of the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow, Xia Liang stood up and activated his sixth soul skill, Reverse Life and Death Arena. Under the influence of time, space, and the undead attribute, Tang Hao, with a soul power of level 89, was summoned.

When he stood in front of the Blue Silver Emperor Cocoon, he was immediately stunned. His resolute eyes trembled. Although the Blue Silver Emperor Cocoon was now tainted with a trace of dark power, its original aura remained unchanged.

The 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor, containing such a vast life force, is none other than his wife, Ah Yin Yao.

"A-Gin."

Just as Tang Hao reached out to touch the Blue Silver Emperor's giant cocoon, he was suddenly whipped away by a blue-gold vine.

In the soul memories of the Blue Silver Emperor Giant Cocoon, Tang Hao is its enemy. If it were to be successfully resurrected, it would want to tear its enemy to pieces. How could it possibly allow its enemy to touch it?

Covering his reddened face, Tang Hao stared incredulously at the Blue Silver Emperor cocoon. He thought his wife, Ah Yin, was blaming him for not taking good care of their son, which was why she had slapped him.

"Senior Tang Hao, I didn't summon you for a reunion. I have a task for you."

With that, Xia Liang summoned a Shiny Gengar and the other nine Gengar. "You should know where the 80,000-year-old Blue Silver King is hidden, right? Now I hope you can work with these Gengar to send the Blue Silver King into another dimension."

After hearing this story, Tang Hao frowned. He had underestimated the black-haired youth in front of him. Not only had he stolen his wife's soul bone and nascent soul, but he had also raised his wife into a thousand-year-old soul beast. Now he was plotting against the eighty-thousand-year-old Blue Silver King. What exactly was he trying to do with all this?

Tang Hao wanted to rebel, but he knew that he was now nothing more than a living dead who could be ordered around and had no choice but to obey orders.

After taking one last look at the giant cocoon of the Blue Silver Emperor, Tang Hao followed ten Gengar to the ancient forest where the 80,000-year-old Blue Silver King resided.

Only after Tang Hao's aura completely disappeared did the blue-gold vines on the Blue Silver Emperor's giant cocoon, which had been baring their fangs and claws in anger, become docile.

Xia Liang touched the giant cocoon of the Blue Silver Emperor.

Seemingly comforted, the Blue Silver Emperor Cocoon extended a blue-gold vine and gently wrapped it around Xia Liang's body, as if the two were having intimate physical contact.

This is all thanks to the constant nourishment with blood, coupled with the previous alteration of some soul memories. The Blue Silver Emperor Cocoon has now recognized Xia Liang as its master.

A month later.

Near the eye of the ice and fire yin-yang symbol.

Stepping into the misty fog, Xia Liang froze on the spot.

His clairvoyance revealed that the Blue Silver Emperor's cocoon had completely transformed from blue-gold to blackish-purple, with the life force spreading through the mist mixed with intense dark energy fluctuations.

Undoubtedly, after a month of blood nourishment, the Blue Silver Emperor Cocoon, under the influence of extreme dark energy, finally mutated into a dark attribute and also gained the ability to devour.

Because the roots and seeds of all the immortal herbs and rare treasures near the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire were devoured by the dark aura released by the Blue Silver Emperor's giant cocoon.

In other words, from now on, no more immortal herbs and rare treasures will be born near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

The Blue Silver Emperor Cocoon was clearly unaware that it had done something wrong. Seeing Xia Liang appear, it even enthusiastically stretched out its vines and waved in the air.

Seeing this, Xia Liang closed his eyes in pain. He felt that he couldn't blame the Blue Silver Emperor Giant Cocoon; he should blame himself for ignoring this point, which led to such a consequence.

Fortunately, the Blue Silver Emperor Cocoon was not put into the Ruyi Treasure Pouch, otherwise all the immortal herbs and rare treasures stored inside would have been devoured.

However, after devouring the roots and seeds of all the immortal herbs and rare treasures around it, the Blue Silver Emperor Giant Cocoon seemed to have improved its cultivation level considerably.

A month ago, it only had 1,300 years of cultivation. After absorbing blood for nearly a month to grow, its cultivation broke through to 2,000 years. Now its cultivation has reached 3,000 years.

Moreover, each vine of the Blue Silver Emperor Giant Cocoon exudes the aura of various immortal herbs and rare treasures.

Could it be that after devouring the roots and seeds of all the immortal herbs and rare treasures, the Blue Silver Emperor Cocoon has become a plant that embodies all the immortal herbs and rare treasures?

Thinking of this, Xia Liang circled around the Blue Silver Emperor Giant Cocoon. With the help of his exceptional eyesight, he finally found two vines on the Blue Silver Emperor Giant Cocoon. The immortal herb aura emanating from these two vines came from the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot.

Having consumed these two immortal herbs before, Xia Liang recognized them immediately. He was almost certain that these two vines were equivalent to the roots and seeds of the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Delicate Grass.

As the Blue Silver Emperor Giant Cocoon's cultivation level increases, the two vines will gradually mature until they become something with the same medicinal power as the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot.

After circling the Blue Silver Emperor Cocoon once more, Xia Liang discovered that the Cocoon had more than 300 vines, each corresponding to a specific immortal herb or rare treasure.
