Douluo Continent: Chrysanthemum and Demon Twins, Forced Marriage to Meng Hongchen

"Done!"

After some time, Xia Yu finally managed to create an indestructible cage for the six-tailed fox using eight level-nine soul tools.

With everything prepared, the Conferred God Platform was soon opened, and the sealed six-tailed fox demon was "freed".

Unfortunately, before it could even recover from emerging from the Conferred God Platform, the Six-Tailed Fox was bound into a ball by numerous soul-guiding chains.

"Human, release me now, or else..."

Having just been released from the Investiture of the Gods, and now bound into a ball again, the six-tailed fox demon was going crazy.

As it struggled violently, trying to break free of the soul-guiding chains binding it, it also tried to intimidate Xia Yu with words.

However, this was of no use; Xia Yu remained unmoved.

hum! ! !

A chilling aura emanated from Xia Yu's body, and his eight soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and four black—pulsated slowly, emitting a faint, eerie soul light.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul True Body! Third Soul Skill, Soul-Devouring Ghost Claw!"

As the seventh and third spirit rings shone brightly, Xia Yu's aura surged forth, engulfing the surrounding area.

Then his right hand transformed into a dark purple, ferocious ghost claw, swirling with thick, black ghost mist.

Upon seeing the terrifying ghost claw, the bound six-tailed fox demon was immediately provoked, its fur standing on end, baring its teeth and assuming an attack stance towards Xia Yu.

But it was just a soul beast trapped by heavy chains, unable to move at all, so what kind of trouble could it possibly cause?

"Hmph, nothing but a death throes!"

Xia Yu snorted softly, and the terrifying, ferocious ghost claw went straight for the eye socket of the six-tailed fox demon.

puff! ! !

With the sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh, the six-tailed fox demon was taken away by Xia Yu with a single claw.

After it died completely, a huge blood-red spirit ring emerged from the corpse of the six-tailed fox.

However, Xia Yu ignored the 100,000-year-old blood-red soul ring in front of him and used the characteristics of the Soul-Devouring Claw to pull out the soul of the six-tailed fox.

He needed the souls of spirit beasts to obtain the Ascension Secret Technique from the Holy Spirit Cult, so he couldn't let the Six-Tailed Fox's soul dissipate for nothing.

Before long, Xia Yu captured the soul of the six-tailed fox and preserved it using a specially made soul tool.

Xia Yu didn't let its corpse go either; he dug out a piece of its head bone and put it away on the spot.

After all, these are excellent materials for refining elixirs, and are quite valuable.

After doing all this, Xia Yu sat cross-legged in front of the six-tailed fox's blood-red soul ring with a serious expression and began to absorb the soul ring.

In fact, because of the prevalence of Soul Masters in the Sun Moon Empire, they tend to favor drug-based cultivation and do not value the physical fitness of Soul Masters.

Therefore, many level nine soul masters do not have the conditions to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring.

However, Xia Yu was still very confident in his physical strength.

With the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum Martial Soul, he has used it to enhance his physical fitness quite a bit over the years.

Although he has never been able to forge an indestructible body, absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring is more than enough for him.

As Xia Yu had predicted, he did not feel much pressure when the six-tailed fox's spirit ring was drawn to him.

Under the guidance of Xia Yu's powerful mental strength, the soul power within his body was running wildly, continuously absorbing the surging soul power emanating from the soul ring.

In less than three days, Xia Yu completed the absorption of the spirit ring, attaching the ninth spirit ring to his Ghostly Martial Soul.

At the same time, thanks to the massive soul power feedback from his soul ring, his soul power also directly reached level 91.

"I wonder if my soul power will be able to break through to level 92 after absorbing this head soul bone?"

After sensing his own soul power, Xia Yu no longer cared about exploring the two soul skills granted by the soul ring. Instead, he pressed on and directly absorbed the head soul bone of the six-tailed fox.

It took nearly three more days for Xia Yu to refine and absorb the head soul bone of the six-tailed fox.

As expected, my soul power received another boost, but it was still slightly insufficient compared to my soul rings.

Fortunately, the result was good; this surge in power allowed his soul power to break through to level 92.

This effect only occurs because the level is still low.

According to Xia Yu's guess, once you reach the Super Douluo level, it would be quite good if a 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone could increase your soul power by one level.

"Phew, I've finally finished absorbing the spirit rings and spirit bones. After checking the spirit skills, I should be able to try for the first eight spirit rings before ascending to spirit level."

After absorbing the soul rings and soul bones, Xia Yu immediately began to examine the four soul skills he had acquired this time.

The Ghostly Martial Soul was summoned once again, and its spirit rings also appeared, except this time there was an additional blood-red spirit ring radiating a deep red light.

"The Hellfire of the Underworld and the Devouring of Ghosts?"

Xia Yu quickly understood the two soul skills brought by the ninth soul ring of the Ghostly Martial Soul.

Well, it's passable, I'd say.

First is the Netherworld Purgatory, a mental attack soul skill.

It creates an endless hell, pulling the enemy's mind and consciousness into it, and torturing them with countless terrifying methods of punishment. It can be used for single-target or group attacks, making it a fairly standard mental-type soul skill.

The second one, Ghost Devouring, is more abstract. It involves creating a black hole passage that can summon ghosts from hell and command them to launch attacks.

The key is that these ghostly figures all possess the ability to explode souls, each capable of creating a terrifying explosion. They're practically a super demolition squad!

If used to mow down enemies, it would be invincible; as for facing stronger opponents, that depends on the situation.

If you can get rid of the endless ghostly shadows, that's no big deal. But if you can't, no matter how strong you are, you'll eventually be worn down and killed.

Overall, Xia Yu was quite satisfied with these two soul skills.

Once they unite, mass destruction becomes an easy task.

Besides, Xia Yu is a Soul Master. If those two Soul Skills are combined with a Level 9 Soul Tool, the scene would be unimaginable, quite tragic.

After reviewing the soul skills of the soul rings, Xia Yu turned his attention to the soul bones.

As for the soul bone and soul skills, they can be considered to have reached the standard of a 100,000-year soul bone. There were no surprises, nor were there any disappointments.

The first soul skill, Soul-Stealing Light, emits a dark purple beam of light for a single-target attack.

This soul-capturing light not only possesses both mental and physical attack effects, but also has extremely penetrating power, ignoring most defenses.

Of course, as a skill of the head soul bone, the power of Soul-Stealing Light is definitely linked to mental strength.

Fortunately, Xia Yu's mental strength is very strong, so there is no need to worry about the power of the Soul-Seizing Light.

As for the second soul skill, it's rather useless. It's called Spiritual Protection, and its effect is to passively protect Xia Yu's spiritual sea of ​​consciousness.

How should I put it? This ability is somewhat redundant.

Xia Yu's spirit was already terrifyingly strong due to his Ghostly Martial Soul, and he also possessed a terrifying power of death.

He's already reached this level, so how could he possibly need the Soul Skill of Spiritual Protection?

If one day someone can break through Xia Yu's mental defenses, that person must be an extremely terrifying being.

Faced with such an existence, what effect could this spiritual protection possibly have? It probably wouldn't be of much use.

This really proves the saying: "It's tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away."
