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

Chapter 86 Susanoo

Xia Liang only released the suppression of the human-faced demon spider's soul power after Tang San disappeared from the field of vision.

chap——

A furious roar erupted from the mouth of the human-faced spider, its eight eyes under its belly glowing with a scarlet light. Just as it was about to raise its two sharp forelegs to stab Xia Liang madly, it was suddenly stunned by a huge and oppressive black face behind it.

The human-faced spider turned around in fear. When it raised its eight eyes under its abdomen to look around, what came into view was a skeletonized Susanoo, which was eight meters tall.

The boned Susanoo raised its right arm and slammed down with its fist, instantly smashing the human-faced spider's head into the ground, purple blood spraying out from the ground.

A simple, unadorned punch, but that one punch shattered the human-faced spider's head.

Knowing that the eight spider legs would become external soul bones, Xia Liang chose to kill the human-faced spider by blowing its head off in order to ensure the integrity of the soul bones.

Before the spirit rings appeared, he manipulated the right hand of the bone-transformed Susanoo to grab the corpse of the human-faced spider, and used his left hand to forcibly tear the eight spider legs under the abdomen of the human-faced spider off the corpse.

Just as the purple soul ring of the human-faced demon spider appeared in the air, the eight spider legs held in the left hand of the bone-transformed Susanoo had already transformed into the external soul bone Eight Spider Spears.

Strangely enough.

The Eight Spider Lances, the external soul bone held in the hand of the boned Susanoo, resonated strongly with the origin of the necromancer skeleton martial soul.

This resonance only occurs when a Soul Master touches a Soul Bone.

The Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul is not a Soul Master, but it is an existence that uses the Soul Master's own skeleton as the origin of the Martial Soul.

The resonance with the external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances, was also due to Xia Liang's own skeleton sensing the existence of the soul bone and reflecting it onto the undead skeleton martial soul through the origin of his martial soul.

What would happen if the spirit bone was absorbed by a martial spirit instead of the person absorbing it?

Xia Liang recalled that no book about Soul Masters had ever recorded such a precedent.

A scene similar to the one before when the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone was absorbed appeared, with the external soul bone Eight Spider Lances actively sticking to the left palm of the boned Susanoo.

hum-

A slight buzzing sound was heard.

The crystalline purple Eight Spider Lances vanished silently, transforming into countless streams of deep purple energy that permeated the massive left arm of the boned Susanoo.

Xia Liang discovered that the Ossified Susanoo and the Eight Spider Spears had actually begun to fuse on their own initiative.

He doesn't need to use his mind to control this process, but when Ossification Susanoo absorbs the energy of the Eight Spider Lances, there will be a crackling sound of bones inside his body.

Unlike absorbing the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, the Ossification Susanoo only took about a minute to absorb the external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances. This may be because the Eight Spider Lances only have a two-thousand-year limit.

To Xia Liang's surprise, the external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances, did not grow on Tang San's back like in the original story, but instead grew on the left hand of the bone-transformed Susanoo.

To be precise, the eight spider legs are arranged in two groups of four, growing on the left and right sides of the ossified Susanoo's left wrist, forming the shape of a crossbow weapon.

The Susanoo Crossbow, also known as the Susanoo Bow.

This is the new name Xia Liang gave to the external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances.

Just like in the original work, after transforming into Susanoo, the external soul bone Yajutsu still possesses the abilities of deadly poison and devouring.

The arrows fired from the Susanoo Bow not only inherit the movement speed of the Man-Faced Demon Spider's eight legs, but also the deadly venom of the spider legs.

In addition, the four spider legs that spread out on either side of Susanoo's left wrist can also close forward to form Susanoo's claws in an eight-claw shape, which have the ability to devour.

The two weapon forms of Susanoo, namely the Susanoo Bow and Susanoo Claw, which are formed from the external soul bone Eight Spider Spears, enhance the close combat ability and ranged attack methods of the bone Susanoo.

Using his mind, Xia Liang retrieved the Susanoo Bow from the boned Susanoo's left hand and took out the ten-thousand-year-old left arm bone he had previously picked up in the far north from his three-colored ring and threw it out.

Ossified Susanoo caught the ten-thousand-year-old left arm bone with his left hand, but there was no longer any sign of the soul bone fusion as before.

Could it be that the Undead Skeleton Martial Soul can only fuse with external soul bones?

Xia Liang remembered that the original novel mentioned that external soul bones have the potential for growth.

The bones of the Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul also have the potential to grow. When the two are combined, they will grow together. Perhaps this is the reason why the two can be fused together.

Or perhaps Susanoo's left arm already possesses a soul bone, making it impossible to provide space for a new left arm bone?

After waiting for two minutes, there was still no sign of the ossified left arm bone held by Susanoo's left hand fusing together.

With a sigh of dejection, Xia Liang put the ten-thousand-year-old left arm bone presented by the ossified Susanoo's left hand back into his three-colored ring.

He originally intended to keep the external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances, for Dugu Yan, but now that it has been absorbed, he can only leave this ten-thousand-year-old left arm bone to her.

However, thanks to the fusion of the external soul bone Eight Spider Lances and the left hand of the Bone-Transforming Susanoo, coupled with the repairing power of the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone's second skill, the left upper arm bone grew into a complete left arm.

From now on, there will be no need to activate the third soul skill, Bone Dragon Transformation; the Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul will also be able to have its own left arm.

After relieving the Ossification Susanoo state, Xia Liang activated the Undead Domain, a pale black light shield covering an area of ​​fifty meters in radius.

After sealing the undead spirit of the human-faced demon spider in the realm of the dead, he walked towards the corpse of the human-faced demon spider. Spider meat is still meat, and with a body that is immune to all poisons, it is not afraid of being poisoned. As long as it is the meat of a soul beast, eating it will have a certain nourishing effect on the body.

Just as Xia Liang was about to pack up and take the human-faced demon spider away, a large number of black vines quietly attacked.

Because his mental energy was constantly in a highly concentrated state, Xia Liang quickly noticed the black vines frantically wrapping around his left side. He swiftly used his third soul skill, Bone Dragon Transformation, to teleport a hundred meters away.

Just then, the black vines that had missed their target frantically dragged away the corpse of the human-faced spider like starving ghosts.

Upon seeing this, Xia Liang immediately activated his X-ray vision and looked in the direction where the numerous black vines had retracted. He clearly saw that three hundred meters ahead, there was a ten-meter-tall black tree.

With its dense canopy resembling a mushroom cloud, its body made of thick trunks, its hands as branches, and its legs as roots, this is clearly a plant-based spirit beast, and a tree spirit that can detach itself from the ground and move freely like an animal.

Strangely, this pitch-black tree demon had a pair of blood-red eyes growing right in the middle of its trunk. Those blood-red eyes looked extremely eerie, as if they were soul-capturing and made people afraid to look directly at them.

The tree spirit constantly exudes an aura of death, as if it had already died once.

This is definitely a tree spirit with undead attributes.

Xia Liang was overjoyed and immediately enhanced his X-ray vision to check the state of the soul power within the red-eyed tree demon.

The cultivation level of a soul beast can be determined by its size and physical characteristics.

Furthermore, the color of the soul power a soul beast uses when launching an attack is the same as its own strength.

In other words, the soul power of a ten-year-old soul beast is white.

The hundred-year-old soul beast is yellow.

For a thousand years, it is purple, and so on.

Although the color of the soul power of some soul beasts may vary for some reason when they launch an attack, the color of the soul power inside their bodies remains unchanged.

The soul power flowing within a ten-year-old soul beast is white, while the soul power flowing within a hundred-year-old soul beast is yellow.

Soul Masters cannot see the flow of soul power within a soul beast with their naked eyes, but Xia Liang's X-ray vision can, which gives him 100% certainty when identifying soul beasts.

The soul power flowing within the red-eyed tree demon was clearly purple, indicating that it was a plant-type soul beast with a thousand years of cultivation.

No, it's blackish-purple.

Xia Liang was surprised to see that the soul power within the red-eyed tree demon had begun to turn black.

This means that the soul beast's cultivation level is at least over nine thousand years. Who knows, with some more cultivation or some fortuitous encounter, it might break through the bottleneck and become a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

The numerous black vines that dragged away the corpse of the human-faced spider shot out from the canopy of the red-eyed tree spirit. It likely stole its prey, intending to increase its cultivation by consuming the human-faced spider's corpse.

The red-eyed tree spirit with undead attributes, once it breaks through ten thousand years of cultivation, can become the fourth soul ring of the undead skeleton martial soul.

What worries Xia Liang is that this is the Star Dou Great Forest, where, in addition to the Red-Eyed Tree Demon, there are other powerful soul beasts.

To hunt down a red-eyed tree demon with ten thousand years of cultivation all by himself, he must also ensure that he has enough soul power to deal with unexpected situations.
