Douro Continent

Chapter 601 Tang San's Eighth Soul Ring

The other members of the Shrek Seven Devils naturally wouldn't stand idly by either. In order to complete the mission as quickly as possible, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing directly used their Martial Soul True Form, the Netherworld White Tiger. The Netherworld White Tiger has wings on its back, and when it unfolds its true form, it can not only attack from the air, but its size is also comparable to the Demonic Orca below.

Even Little White had suffered losses against the Netherworld White Tiger, let alone these exhausted demonic orcas. In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere the Netherworld White Tiger passed by. Many demonic orcas didn't even have time to unleash any skills before their heads were ripped off by the massive tiger claws, their brains splattering as they died.

Ma Hongjun launched his attack alone. His strength was naturally no match for the Netherworld White Tiger, but water and fire are mutually exclusive, and his phoenix flames were an innate ability of these fish. After transforming into a seven-headed fire phoenix, he internalized his phoenix domain, unleashing the power of the flames to their fullest extent. He continuously swooped down from the sky. Although a single swoop might not kill a single demonic whale, each swoop yielded some reward. Combined with the Demon Soul Great White Shark, his mission count continued to rise.

Among the Seven Devils, Oscar was undoubtedly the most cunning. He knew the principle of fire overcoming water, and his martial soul form allowed him to fly freely. Therefore, the replica mirror sausage he consumed was made from Ma Hongjun's blood. He transformed into a single-headed fire phoenix, circling in the air. Unlike Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ma Hongjun, he didn't directly confront the enemy; instead, he deliberately picked off the weaker targets. Upon seeing the demonic tiger whale severely wounded and on the verge of death, he immediately swooped down to finish it off. While this was a bit underhanded, his mission numbers weren't lagging behind.

If the Demon Soul Great White Shark and the Evil Tiger Whale were like soldiers clashing in two armies, then the Shrek Seven Devils were undoubtedly the generals leading the Demon Soul Great White Shark army. Led by them, and aided by Tang San's Killing God Domain, they were unstoppable for a time. The casualties among the Evil Tiger Sharks continued to rise. Blood splattered, and massive energy fluctuations erupted from the sea surface.

Tang San wasn't idle while in mid-air. As the soul of the Shrek Seven Devils, his job was to control the situation. In his Blue Silver True Body state, a Blue Silver Overlord Spear would always materialize in his right hand. If the Demon Soul Great White Shark was in danger, his attack would immediately follow. With his terrifying mental power, the trajectory of the Blue Silver Overlord Spear was no longer uncontrollable. With Tang San's hidden weapon skills, it was safe to say that the spear never missed, and it always targeted the Demon Tiger Shark's vital points.

At the start of the battle, the Demon Orca King was full of confidence, after all, they had been suppressing the Demon Soul Great White Shark without any resistance. But when he clashed with the ferocious Little White and began to fight back, the Demon Orca King began to realize that something was wrong.

Xiao Bai, who should have been completely overwhelmed by him, actually fought him to a standstill. Behind Xiao Bai, beams of colorful light continuously flowed into her body, greatly enhancing her attack, defense, speed, strength, and other abilities. Meanwhile, the Demon Orca King discovered that his stamina was less than 70% of his peak. With this shift in power, Xiao Bai, clearly weaker than him, continued to inflict wounds on him.

What enraged the Demon Orca King most was the effect of the Asura Hell within the Killing God Domain surrounding him. No matter what, he couldn't unleash his full power. Under Little White's relentless attacks, he couldn't even try to aid his people. He could only watch helplessly as they died one after another.

The Demon Orca King understood that if things continued like this, his entire army would likely be wiped out today. While Little White before him was powerful, he could still hold his own. But his people were increasingly unable to hold on. The casualties far exceeded those of the Demon Soul Great White Shark swarm.

Having cultivated to the level of 100,000 years, the Demonic Orca King was no fool. He understood that Tang San, floating in the air and releasing his domain, was the key. His vast domain weakened his own people's combat power by at least 10%, while amplifying the Demonic Soul Great White Shark's by more than 10%. This was why, in equal numbers, his own people couldn't defeat the Demonic Soul Great White Shark.

Thinking of this, the Demon Orca King's massive body suddenly rolled in the seawater, and then its body shot out like a bowstring, taking a hit from Little White's Demon Shark Fang, leaving dozens of wounds on its body. However, it had already completed its power-gathering, and a thick iron-gray water column as thick as a water tank spewed out from its back, heading straight for Tang San in the air.

"Watch out!" Little White roared, leaping into the air and slamming heavily into the Demon Tiger Shark King, sending it flying. She transformed back into a fierce woman, launching a ferocious attack.

In mid-air, Tang San's attention remained highly focused, as if he had anticipated the Demonic Tiger Whale King's attack. Facing the iron-gray water column that locked onto him, Tang San did not dodge. He brought his right index and middle fingers together, lightly touched the golden trident mark between his eyebrows, and then flicked it downwards.

As he flicked his sword finger, a crystalline blue triangle expanded in the air, growing to a meter in length in the blink of an eye. It emitted a deep blue light and met the gray-blue water column head-on.

The Demon Orca King's attack was a full-force effort, aimed at destroying Tang San in one fell swoop and freeing his people from the Asura Hell. Otherwise, he wouldn't have endured several attacks from Xiao Bai while charging up his power.

Tang San dared to block the full-force attack of a 100,000-year-old soul beast? The answer is yes. The deep blue triangular object slammed into the iron-gray water column head-on.

An immense surge of energy erupted in the air. The deep blue triangle spun rapidly, much like the very body of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. While the erupting iron-gray water column was powerful, it was clear that the energy within it seemed to be separated by the Vast Ocean Universe Cover; the gray aura scattered in all directions, while countless blue light points were forcibly absorbed by the cover.

What Tang San unleashed wasn't the true form of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, but rather its inherent skill, Qiankun Breaking Demon. After the skull evolved, this skill became purely driven by mental power. Indeed, Tang San's soul power was far inferior to that of the 100,000-year-old Demonic Tiger Whale, but his mental power had reached the level of the Sea God Douluo Poseidon. Qiankun Breaking Demon was only effective against energy-based attacks. Ironically, in its pursuit of attack power, the Demonic Tiger Whale King's iron-gray water column didn't contain real water, but rather its own purified energy. Naturally, it was forcefully blocked by Qiankun Breaking Demon.

Tang San had already made preparations. Even if the Qiankun Pomo could not withstand it, he still had the Invincible Golden Body as a backup, so there would naturally be no problem.

A flash of red light appeared, and after withstanding the attack, Xiao Wu emerged from Tang San's Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical pouch), her soul returning to her body. Tang San held her close, his arm around her waist, preventing her from falling. Her test required her to complete a mission with Tang San, which couldn't be done while she was inside the Ruyi Jingu Bang. Now that the situation was settled, Tang San naturally released her.

Having barely managed to withstand Xiao Bai's attack again, the Demonic Orca King's heart sank to the bottom. Watching the blue, crystalline triangle return to Tang San's brow, it roared, "It really is the sea..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiaobai pounced again and tore off a chunk of flesh from his chest and abdomen.

Tang San coldly glanced at the Demonic Orca King, then swung his Blue Silver Overlord Spear, piercing the head of an Orca that was about to bite the Demon Soul Great White Shark. His mental power increased once more, and the formidable suppressive effect of the Asura Hell amplified further.

The battle between the Demonic Orca pod and the Demonic Great White Shark pod was now a foregone conclusion. Thanks to the terrifying power of the Netherworld White Tiger, in just a short time, over thirty Demonic Orcas had fallen to Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing. Fatty had also gained thirteen. Even Oscar had completed his mission.

Ning Rongrong stood calmly behind a Demon Soul Great White Shark that hadn't yet joined the battle, continuously channeling amplifying energy into its body. The light of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda enveloped her entire body, clearly indicating she had used her seventh soul skill, Nine Treasure True Body. In her current state, she could easily amplify only the Great White Shark for an hour. The greatest advantage of the Nine Treasure True Body was the extended amplification time. In her spare moments, she could also occasionally spare some time to temporarily amplify some of the Demon Soul Great White Sharks that were at a disadvantage, allowing them to turn the tide.

The number of Demon Orcas has been decreasing. At first, only adult Demon Orcas were involved in the battle, but later even those with lower cultivation levels joined the fight. The Demon Soul Great White Shark has gained an overwhelming advantage.

The demonic orca knew very well that they were no match for the Demon Soul Great White Shark in terms of speed; only a fight offered them a slim chance of survival. Therefore, retreat was out of the question. However, they were enveloped by Tang San's terrifying Killing God Domain, greatly diminishing their fighting spirit and preventing them from unleashing their full strength. Coupled with the Shrek Seven Devils' high-explosive attacks, how could they possibly withstand it?

A massive fiery shadow suddenly erupted from the seven-headed fire phoenix, descending from the sky with scorching phoenix flames and slamming heavily into the back of an exceptionally large demonic whale. With a deafening roar, the demonic whale trembled violently, a charred hole appearing in its back. This was none other than Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike, unleashed in his Martial Soul True Body state, amplified by the Phoenix Domain.

This attack completely destroyed the demonic orca, whose cultivation was at least 20,000 years old. Ma Hongjun then transformed into human form. The Martial Soul True Body consumed a tremendous amount of soul power, and the continuous battle was taking its toll. Floating in mid-air, he panted and ate a few recovery sausages to replenish his strength.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were also resting in the back. Having completed their mission, everyone was now relaxed.

With the numbers on both sides significantly outnumbering each other, the battle became even more disproportionate. The remaining demonic orcas were almost entirely surrounded by at least three or four demonic soul great white sharks, offering them no chance whatsoever. The Shrek Seven Devils no longer needed to assist them. Having completed their mission, the group naturally relaxed.

Just then, a peculiar energy fluctuation suddenly erupted from the center of the battle, and Little White, who had been gradually suppressing the Demon Orca King, was suddenly thrown away by a tremendous force.

The Demon Orca King's massive body hovered on the sea surface, no longer pursuing Little White. Its original metallic sheen was quickly replaced by a deathly gray. An immense energy surge seemed to seal off the entire sea area, creating a solidified sea state similar to the third stage of Little White's domain. This slowed down the movements of both the Demon Orca and the Demon Soul Great White Shark in the ocean.

"Oh no!" Little White exclaimed, rushing forward again. However, a special invisible energy surrounded the Demon Orca King's body, repelling her once more. At this moment, even its eyes changed from blood red to grayish-white, and the air around its body began to distort violently.

"It's going to self-destruct! Stop it!" Little White roared in fear.

No one present knew what the self-destruction of a 100,000-year-old soul beast would be like, but they could easily imagine it: the terrifying power of a soul beast that had cultivated for 100,000 years unleashing its accumulated energy and soul simultaneously. If it were to actually happen, probably very few people present would survive.

No one expected that at the last moment, the Demon Orca King would be so violent, willing to sacrifice himself to be completely wiped out of this world and perish together with the Demon Soul Great White Shark and the Shrek Seven Devils.

At this moment, all the demonic orcas displayed their ferocity, showing no sign of retreating and instead launching a final attack. Each demonic orca was frantically attacking the surrounding demonic great white sharks at the cost of its own life force, not to kill them, but simply to entangle these mortal enemies and prevent them from leaving the battlefield.

A blue-gold figure gracefully arrived directly above the massive body of the Demon Orca King, his cold eyes showing no emotion whatsoever. In his palm, the jade bottle containing the Yin-Yang Spring water that had claimed the lives of dozens of Demon Orcas reappeared.

At this moment, Tang San wasn't thinking about the battle before him, but rather the scene when he nearly died from the powerful attack of the Deep Sea Demon Whale. If he had remembered to retrieve the jade bottle then, perhaps the situation would have been completely different.

"Let's die together!" the Demon Orca King roared hysterically. His body began to expand rapidly, clearly igniting all the energy within him.

"Trying to self-destruct? Not so easy." Even Xiaobai couldn't break through the invisible barrier, so Tang San naturally didn't think he could. What he did was simple: he opened the jade bottle and poured out the two-colored spring water.

A piercing explosion rang out ten meters above the Demon Orca King, and a massive white mist rose up. The previously invisible protective shield became tangible, but only half of it remained, the other half condensing into ice. The other half, however, melted away silently.

The power of the extreme cold Yin Spring and the blazing hot Yang Spring is not only applied to objects, but also to energy. Otherwise, how could they be called the extreme cold and extreme heat between heaven and earth?

Guided by Tang San, the red spring water dripped precisely into the breathing hole on the back of the Demon Orca King.

If the Demonic Orca King were in its normal state, it would have at least a hundred ways to dodge or use a burst of energy to disperse the spring. But at this moment, it was in a state of self-destruction, its body completely immobile. Its massive form was only protected by the invisible energy released during the self-destruction. That was a barrier that even the 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast, Little White, couldn't break through. How could it have imagined that its enemy would break through it in such a way?

The rapidly expanding body suddenly stopped. Tang San also stopped pouring the jade bottle and carefully plugged it back in.

Previously, what was attached to the forty crossbow bolts was only forty drops of scorching Yang Spring water, less than one-tenth of what was in the bottle. But now, fearing that the Demonic Tiger Whale King might not be dead, Tang San poured out nearly half of the Yin-Yang Spring water from the warm jade bottle.

That's right, the Yin-Yang Spring waters are mutually restraining, but this Demonic Tiger Whale King hadn't consumed the two great immortal herbs Tang San had taken: the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass. Moreover, the spring water entered his body directly.

After a brief pause, his massive body suddenly hissed, like a balloon being punctured, as a chaotic surge of energy erupted from the hole in his back, sending Tang San flying backward. He barely managed to regain his footing. Meanwhile, the Demonic Tiger Whale King's swollen body began to shrink rapidly, quickly deflated. Most bizarrely, only half of his body shrank; the other half, under the influence of the Extreme Cold Yin Spring, was frozen solid like steel. His once incomparably powerful aura vanished in the blink of an eye, like dissipated steam. The once mighty ruler of the seas, the 100,000-year-old soul beast, the Demonic Tiger Whale King, died beneath the two divine springs produced by the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

In truth, he was unlucky. If he hadn't used his self-destruct technique, Tang San wouldn't have had the chance to pour the spring water onto him. If his true form weren't a whale with a huge breathing hole on his back, Tang San wouldn't have been able to make the spring water work on him. If it were Da Ming or Er Ming, once they were touched by the spring water, all they had to do was cut off the skin in that area; with the powerful resistance of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, they would only suffer minor injuries. This Demonic Orca King could be said to have died both from Tang San's scheme and from its own physical characteristics. It even failed to fulfill its final wish of self-destructing to destroy its enemy.

Without the Demon Orca King's leadership, the remaining Demon Orcas offered little resistance, and against Little White, they had no chance to self-destruct. The Shrek Seven Devils, having recovered, joined forces with the Demon Soul Great White Shark and quickly wiped out all the remaining Demon Orcas, bringing this racial war to a perfect close.

The pleasantly familiar light screen reappeared, and the same words appeared in the minds of Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong.

"The fourth test, the battle of the shark and whale, is complete. Due to special circumstances, the difficulty of the test has been reduced, and the reward has been halved. The Demon Soul Great White Shark suffered less than 10% casualties, so the reward is doubled. Bonus: Soul Power increases by one level." This time, Ning Rongrong's reward of an extra 500 years of Soul Ring cultivation did not appear.

Xiao Wu continued to offer rewards. However, when the golden light curtain emanating from Tang San's forehead shattered, he received a unique reward message.

An aged yet majestic image swirled in Tang San's mind: "Winning through wisdom, minimizing losses, single-handedly killing over fifty Demonic Orca Whales, and personally slaying the Demonic Orca Whale King. Balancing wisdom and strength, the fourth trial has been exceeded. Sea God affinity increased by 10%, total affinity by 35%."

The golden trident mark lit up, its previous dim and restrained appearance replaced by a dazzling light, like a new star appearing on Tang San's forehead. At the same time, Tang San felt as if a new door had opened in his spiritual world; pushing it open with his spiritual power would immediately lead him into a golden world.

Subconsciously, he channeled his spiritual power into this new world. Instantly, the golden trident on Tang San's forehead shone brightly, its immense light illuminating the blood-red seawater and shining upon all the demonic soul great white sharks.

None of the Shrek Seven Devils felt anything special; they just felt that the golden light was warm and comfortable, carrying a touch of majesty.

However, every shark in the Great White Shark pod began to tremble slightly, even Little White. A deep-seated fear and respect caused them to lower their proud heads and silently worship Tang San.

The Light of the Sea God! This is the Light of the Sea God! Tang San was overjoyed, feeling the golden light, which had no offensive or defensive capabilities, bathe his entire body. He was even more excited than when his Purple Demon Eye had reached the Vast Realm. Because with this golden light, it meant that Xiao Wu was one step closer to resurrection. Now, he truly only needed to reach the Title Douluo level.

Tang San withdrew the spiritual power he had channeled into the golden trident imprint, and the released light of the sea god immediately subsided, but the golden trident on his forehead still shone brightly. This was a significant difference compared to before.

Without the illumination of the Sea God's Light, the Demon Soul Great White Sharks noticeably calmed down. This led Tang San to discover another effect of the Sea God's Light: deterrence. More precisely, it was a deterrent effect on sea spirit beasts.

Oscar grumbled somewhat discontentedly, "We've already exceeded the mission requirements. Why are they lowering the difficulty level?"

Dai Mubai said irritably, "Isn't that a reduction? Think about it yourself, how does this fourth test compare to the previous three? If Xiao San hadn't exhausted those demonic tiger whales and even killed some of them, would we have been able to complete the test so easily? We'd be lucky to get a full reward. That's level one soul power! At our current level, we might not even be able to improve that much in a year of hard training."

"Lord Tang, thank you." Xiao Bai emerged from the water, her eyes filled with sincere gratitude. She turned to the others, "Thank you all too."

Even she herself couldn't remember how many years she and her people had lived in the shadow of the Demon Orca. Countless of her people had perished in the racial war against the Demon Orca. Today, with the conflict resolved in one fell swoop, and less than ten percent of her people having been killed, it felt like a dream to her. It further solidified her belief that the Sea God had shown her favor.

Tang San asked in surprise, "Little Bai, why do you call me that?"

Xiao Bai smiled wryly, "My lord, do you think just anyone can possess the Light of the Sea God? I can't say more. However, you'd better hurry up and take back that bastard's spirit ring. With its cultivation level, even if its attributes aren't perfectly matched with your martial soul, it's enough to generate a fairly powerful spirit skill. After all, it's second only to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King among sea spirit beasts."

Hearing Xiaobai's reminder, Tang San remembered that his soul power had reached level 80, and wasn't the Demonic Tiger Whale King that had just been killed an excellent choice? He didn't need to be polite with his companions. Apart from him, no one else here had the ability to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring, and none of them had reached the bottleneck in soul power cultivation.

"It's not just me. Xiangxiang, come down too. There are quite a few dying Demonic Orcas here. You can choose one that's suitable for your current level to kill and absorb its spirit ring. Although Demonic Orcas aren't flying spirit beasts, their detection abilities and spirit ring quality are still quite good. Choose one that you can absorb up to your limit. Your spirit power should be above level 50 now, so you can choose one with a slightly higher cultivation period. Xiaobai, could you please ask your clansmen to help her determine the Demonic Orca's cultivation period?"

"Thank you, Third Brother." Bai Chenxiang descended from the sky. Her soul power had reached level fifty for quite some time. Although she had been diligently cultivating, she hadn't yet obtained a fifth soul ring to further enhance her strength. With so many ten-thousand-year-old demonic tiger whales before her, those on the verge of death had already lost their power to resist, making it easy to find one of the best age to absorb. Just as Xiao Bai had said, the quality of the demonic tiger whale's soul ring was enough to compensate for its attribute deficiencies. This was quite beneficial for both Tang San and Bai Chenxiang.

Xiao Bai let a large demonic great white shark temporarily serve as Bai Chenxiang's mount, helping her choose and absorb spirit rings on it. She herself even became Tang San's mount.

Tang San originally planned to absorb the Demonic Tiger Whale King's spirit ring on the Dragon Abyss Boat, but Xiao Bai told him that the Demonic Tiger Whale King's energy was extremely domineering and could easily overflow, damaging the hull and affecting Tang San's absorption. Only then did Tang San stop refusing and sit upright on Xiao Bai's back to begin the absorption process.

A dark red light surged and entered Tang San's body almost instantly. Only when Tang San truly began absorbing the Demonic Tiger Whale King's spirit ring did he understand why Xiao Bai had said that the Demonic Tiger Whale King's spirit ring energy was domineering.

Although Tang San's seventh spirit ring was also 100,000 years old, it came from enduring the trials of a divinely bestowed spirit ring. In other words, if he hadn't been able to withstand the pain at the time, he could have easily settled for a 10,000-year spirit ring.

But the situation now was different. From the moment he began absorbing it, he had no chance to back out. The terrifying energy of the 100,000-year-old spirit ring, carrying an extremely domineering aura, directly rushed into Tang San's body. That instantaneous burst of energy, if Tang San's body hadn't been tempered and refined countless times, would probably have destroyed him.

Even though he managed to withstand it, the impact caused him to bleed from all seven orifices and his whole body to tremble violently.

It's important to understand that the Demonic Orca King was killed by Tang San using the Ice and Fire Divine Spring, and it failed to self-destruct. The hatred the soul contained within its spirit ring held for Tang San was unimaginable. In its final moments, it understood the reason for the deaths of its people. It was filled with immense resentment. Under such circumstances, how could Tang San not experience a violent shock when absorbing its spirit ring?

The moment Tang San began absorbing the energy, he sensed something was wrong; the Demonic Tiger Whale King's spirit ring energy was far too domineering. While the divinely bestowed spirit ring had also brought him immense pressure, nearly causing him to collapse, it had gradually increased in power, growing stronger with his capacity to withstand it. His spirit power had increased ten levels, but Tang San was now facing a 100,000-year spirit ring that unleashed all its resentment. He was already struggling to hold on after only a few breaths.

As the vessel for Tang San's body, Xiao Bai immediately noticed the problem: undigested energy was overflowing from Tang San's body and rushing into hers.

Xiao Bai quickly gathered his spiritual power and shouted, "Use the Light of the Sea God!"

Xiao Bai's voice was like a wake-up call, bringing Tang San back to his senses. That's right! No matter how powerful the Demonic Orca King is, it's still a sea spirit beast. The Light of the Sea God can threaten all sea spirit beasts, so it will naturally have an effect on its spirit ring energy as well. After all, the Light of the Sea God is itself a special form of energy.

Without hesitation, his spiritual power surged into the golden trident imprint. Instantly, intense golden light poured down, enveloping Tang San's entire body, as if he were coated with a layer of golden liquid.

The power of the Sea God's Light manifested, and the previously extremely domineering energy of the Demonic Orca King's soul ring was instantly suppressed and subdued, like fire meeting water or ice meeting charcoal. Its violent aura melted away like ice and snow before the majestic Sea God's Light.

The violent aura of the Demonic Tiger Whale King's spirit ring was suppressed by the Sea God's Light, and Tang San was finally able to catch his breath. He quickly adjusted his Xuan Tian Gong internal energy and did not confront the Demonic Tiger Whale King's spirit ring's enormous energy head-on. Instead, he used the wave-dissipating technique he had comprehended during the third trial to resist it.

As the immense energy of the spirit ring surged forth, Tang San's internal energy simultaneously deflected the force and absorbed the energy contained within it bit by bit. He was no longer at the level he was when he risked absorbing a divinely bestowed spirit ring at level seventy. His level eighty spirit power made Tang San far stronger overall, and once the situation stabilized, the absorption of the spirit ring became much smoother. Although the Demonic Tiger Whale King's spirit ring energy still posed a significant threat to Tang San, with continuous deflection and absorption, the balance of power between the two sides began to gradually shift.

Seeing that Tang San's condition had stabilized, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. To ensure that Tang San could absorb the spirit ring energy in an absolutely stable state, Xiao Bai even used his domain to completely freeze the seawater around his body, making Tang San, who was sitting on his back, feel as if he were sitting on land.

Enveloped in the light of the sea god, Tang San resembled a sun in the ocean, his golden light swirling and his aura gradually becoming even. The surging dark red energy also gradually calmed down.

An hour later, Bai Chenxiang was the first to complete her absorption process. Her fifth, black spirit ring joined her spirit ring inventory. To her astonishment, after receiving the spirit ring upgrade, her spirit power jumped directly from level 50 to level 55. Keep in mind, she was only twenty-two years old this year. Reaching level 55 at such a young age was quite remarkable, not only within the Min clan but also in the entire spirit master world. Without considering the abilities of her spirit itself, her current spirit power level was already comparable to the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall.

However, to everyone's disappointment, after searching all the corpses of the Demonic Orca, they found no soul bones, demonstrating just how low the drop rate of soul bones was. Of course, their search did not include the corpse of the Demonic Orca King not far from Tang San. A 100,000-year-old soul beast is guaranteed to produce a soul bone. And this soul bone undoubtedly belonged to Tang San.

The wait was long, but also exciting for the Shrek Seven Devils. This time, Tang San's level 80 soul power made the entire process of absorbing the soul ring much easier. With the help of the Sea God's Light's suppressive power, after three days and three nights of hard work, he finally completed the entire absorption process.

As the dark red light completely subsided, a dark red soul bone burst forth from the Demonic Tiger Whale King and slowly floated in front of Tang San.

It was a soul bone shaped like a leg bone. Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that it was a left leg bone, which was exactly the soul bone that Tang San was lacking.

-

There was a minor bug in the part where Bai Chenxiang absorbed the soul ring, which has now been fixed. I'm truly sorry.

It's all fine now. When I was writing it, I was thinking of a dying demonic orca, but somehow I wrote it as a corpse. Oops.
