Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is a Simulator

Chapter 169 Pastoral Song's Ten Thousand Years of External Soul Bone

Puff puff--

Pastoral Song's attack on the Demon Orca King continues.

The Demon Orca King's wounds were multiplying, and its blood stained the ice below.

"what……"

What enraged the Demon Orca King even more was its own clan. Now, thanks to the slaughter by Little White and the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, only about ten of the more than one hundred Demon Orcas on the ice surface remained, and they were on the verge of being wiped out.

In the ocean depths, the demonic killer whales, frozen in ice, are struggling to break free, but they haven't been able to escape for the time being.

Even if they escape, they will still face attacks from the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan.

"roar--"

The Demon Orca King suddenly roared at Mu Ge, and swung his giant axe, unleashing a massive blade that slashed towards Mu Ge.

Then, without looking back, the Demon Orca King ran off in the opposite direction from Mu Ge.

The only way for it to save the remaining tribe is to defeat Pastoral.

But on the ice, it lost confidence in defeating the pastoral song.

So the Demon Orca King chose to leave the ice and return to the sea.

In its human form, it only possessed seven-tenths of its original strength. Therefore, it wanted to return to the sea and revert to its original form so that it could unleash its full power and have a chance to defeat Muge.

"Do you want to go back to the sea?"

As Mu Ge unleashed his slash, obliterating the Demon Orca King's axe blade, he laughed as he watched the Demon Orca King flee.

How could someone think that they could unleash their full potential in the sea?

Have you forgotten about my Extreme Ice Martial Soul?

sigh~

Mu Ge's figure flashed, and he immediately gave chase.

Shepherd Song also has to prevent the Demon Orca King from escaping; if it does, it won't be easy to find and catch it.

puff~

"Demon Orca Axe Slash!"

Fortunately, after the Demon Orca King jumped back into the sea, it transformed back into its true form and did not flee. Instead, it chose to attack Muge, who was chasing after it.

"Sword Breaking Style!"

Qiang Qiang——

The shepherd swung the Holy Angel Sword repeatedly, unleashing two consecutive blades to block the attack of the Demon Orca King.

The demonic orca king, now back in the ocean, was indeed much more powerful.

"Die, humans!"

Upon seeing this, the Demon Orca King became invigorated, roared, and then launched a frenzied attack on Mu Ge.

"idiot!"

"The ice shrinks, the cold current rises, the river freezes, and a misty haze descends—a scene reminiscent of a winter evening at Luzhu!"

Mu Ge snorted disdainfully, and with a wave of his right hand, a huge glacier rose up in front of, behind, to the left and right of the Demon Orca King, trapping it inside.

The attack of the Demon Orca King was completely blocked by the glacier in front of it.

Click~ Click~

Moreover, the seawater where the Demon Orca King was located, after being surrounded by four icebergs, also began to gradually freeze into ice.

"Damn it!"

Upon seeing this situation, the Demon Orca King remembered that Mu Ge possessed an ice-attribute soul skill that was extremely effective against sea spirit beasts, and immediately let out a roar of unwilling anger.

Finally, the evil orca king had no choice but to leap out of the water again and transform into human form once more.

"Killing God Domain - Frozen Purgatory!"

Facing the impotent and furious Demon Orca King, Mu Ge smiled faintly and unleashed another domain.

The God of Slaughter Domain is an evolved domain formed by combining the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Leaf Martial Soul with the Frosty Purgatory.

Within the icy domain, all enemies' mobility is restricted by the icy aura, causing them to move sluggishly.

The effect is doubled on sea spirit beasts.

Water-attribute attacks are also weakened by half under the influence of the Ice Domain.

That's why Mu Ge said that he didn't need to use the Ring-Exploding ability to deal with the Demon Orca King. Based on attribute advantages, he had plenty of ways to deal with the Demon Orca King.

"Damn it!"

After realizing the power of Mu Ge's Ice Domain, the Demon Orca King's eyes revealed a strong sense of despair.

Because it knew there was no hope.

Although it was unwilling to admit it, it had to admit that it was no match for Muge and could not defeat Muge. Muge's abilities were too much of a constraint on it.

Unable to defeat Muge, unable to dispel Muge's soul skill, it also couldn't save the remaining tribes.

"Damn humans, let's all die together!"

In despair, the despair and anger in the eyes of the Demon Orca King instantly turned into madness.

Since we can't save our people and we can't escape either, let's die together!

boom--

Then the Demon Orca King's figure jumped up, and its form instantly transformed back to its original form. Even if it meant self-destruction, only by transforming back into its original form could it unleash its greatest power.

buzzing-

Terrifying soul power erupted from the Demon Orca King's body, and beams of red light shot out.

"Trying to self-destruct?"

"The vast ocean and the universe are at peace!"

Upon seeing the Demon Orca King attempting to self-destruct, Mu Ge brought his index fingers and thumbs together, forming a triangle, and then aimed them in the direction of the Demon Orca King.

hum-

The Demon Orca King, which was about to self-destruct, paused abruptly, frozen in place by Mu Ge's Vast Ocean Universe.

Even with the Vast Ocean Universe Fixation skill active, Mu Ge was unable to attack the Demon Orca King; he could only trap it.

But that was enough; Pastoral Song's purpose was simply to interrupt the Demon Orca King's self-destruction.

"untie!"

When Muge removed the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, the violent energy emanating from the Demon Orca King was no longer so violent.

Then, before the Demon Orca King could continue its self-destruction, Muge made his move.

"Angelic Retribution!"

boom--

The shepherd swung the Holy Angel Sword in his hand, condensing it into a gigantic sword shadow tens of meters long, which slashed down towards the Demon Orca King.

Restricted by Mu Ge's Frozen Purgatory and caught in the gap of his self-destruction being interrupted, the Demon Orca King couldn't even make a defensive move and was directly cleaved down by the giant Holy Angel Sword that Mu Ge had condensed.

puff--

The enormous sword shadow instantly cleaved through the body of the Demon Orca King, splitting its form in two.

"No……"

The Demon Orca King let out a roar of extreme resentment.

bang bang—

Immediately afterwards, the Demon Orca King's screams ceased abruptly, and its massive body, severed in two, crashed onto the ice below.

The Demon Orca King, second only to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, was killed by Mu Ge.

If the Demon Orca King doesn't self-destruct, it will take Muge some time to kill it.

However, the Demon Orca King chose to self-destruct, but was interrupted by Mu Ge, thus creating the best opportunity for Mu Ge to strike, and he cleaved it in two with a single sword strike.

hum-

Before long, a red soul ring with a lifespan of 100,000 years appeared on the body of the Demon Orca King.

Seeing this, Mu Ge put his index and middle fingers together, touched his forehead, and finally pointed at the 100,000-year soul ring: "Retract!"

As Mu Ge finished speaking, a triangular beam of light emanated from his forehead, shining onto the 100,000-year soul ring.

hum-

Immediately afterwards, the 100,000-year soul ring dropped by the Demon Orca King shrank as the triangular beam of light on Mu Ge's forehead contracted, and was eventually stored by Mu Ge in the internal storage space of the Vast Ocean Wisdom Skull.

"How is that possible? How did he do that?"

Poseidon, who had been watching the Pastoral Examination the whole time, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

She knew that Mu Ge's current soul power level was only 87, not yet 90, so he definitely didn't have a soul ring slot.

In this situation, even if the 100,000-year soul ring dropped by the Demon Orca King is extremely precious, it shouldn't be able to be absorbed.

But Mu Ge managed to do just that. Even though he couldn't absorb the spirit ring himself, he still managed to collect the spirit ring of the 100,000-year-old Demonic Orca King, which would have otherwise been wasted.

"It wasn't absorbed; it was simply stored away!"

"How did he do that?"

After a while, seeing that Mu Ge simply put away the spirit ring without absorbing it, Poseidon knew that Mu Ge was just putting the spirit ring away.

But this also surprised her greatly.

Just as a Soul Master who is not high enough level cannot absorb a Soul Ring, a Soul Ring dropped by a Soul Beast cannot be absorbed unless it happens to be found by a Soul Master who is capable of absorbing it.

"High Priest, you must ask Lord Pastoral Song later!"

"If everyone could acquire spirit rings, that would be wonderful!"

Poseidon's secretary was also very shocked. Thinking about the benefits of obtaining a spirit ring, she immediately made a suggestion to Poseidon.

"Well, we'll see when the time comes!"

Poseidon waved her hand, knowing full well what this method would bring to Soul Masters if it became widespread.

But what she thought about more was the harm that death, while bringing benefits, also carried.

Because powerful Soul Masters can hunt down and sell Soul Rings, a large number of Soul Beasts will be hunted down.

……

"Where is the soul bone?"

At this moment, Mu Ge didn't care that people had discovered that he could absorb and store soul rings.

He wanted to hide it, but he knew Poseidon would definitely pay attention to his assessment, and he couldn't hide it, so he simply stopped caring.

So what if we've been found out? There's nothing we can't say anyway.

Mu Ge was just worried that once Poseidon and the Sea God knew that he possessed a 100,000-year-old soul beast, they would still withhold the divine soul ring that should have been his reward when he leveled up to level 90.

However, those are all things for later. Mu Ge is currently searching for the soul bone that dropped after the death of the Demon Orca King.

A 100,000-year-old soul beast will 100% drop a soul bone upon death.

But when Mu Ge looked at the corpse of the Demon Orca King, he did not see any soul bones appear.

hum-

But at that moment, Mu Ge saw a surge of soul power gathering on the corpse of the Demon Orca King. Instead of forming a soul bone, it rushed directly towards Mu Ge.

She didn't dodge; the Demon Orca King was already dead and couldn't possibly attack her anymore.

Since the Demon Orca King did not condense a soul bone after its death, and its soul power actually flowed into its body, there is only one possibility.

"External Soul Bone!"

Mu Ge's eyes lit up.

External soul bones are the most precious soul bones, even rarer than 100,000-year soul rings.

The external soul bones never appear as if they fall off; they are always directly condensed on the soul master who killed the soul beast.

Tang San's Eight Spider Lances are an example of this.

Therefore, Mu Ge, who was very familiar with how external soul bones are formed, immediately guessed that what the Demon Orca King had dropped this time was an external soul bone.

This surprised and delighted Mu Ge.

"Is it a tail or something else?"

Mu Ge wondered what kind of external soul bone had been dropped from the Demon Orca King.

The most likely possibility is the tail of the demonic killer whale. Thinking of this, Mu Ge felt a little resistant.

Oh well, a tail is fine as long as it's an external soul bone. Even if I don't use it normally, equipping it on myself will still enhance my strength.

Huh——

Just when Mu Ge thought the external soul bone he had obtained was a tail, the soul power that had flowed into Mu Ge from the corpse of the Demon Orca King condensed behind Mu Ge.

"屮——"

A massive amount of soul power condensed behind Mu Ge, giving him the feeling of having his bones forcibly pulled out. This caused Mu Ge's expression to change slightly, and he cursed loudly.

Is it really that painful to condense an external soul bone?

An indestructible body.

Muge even used his indestructible body in an attempt to withstand the pain.

In the end, it turned out to be useless, so I could only grit my teeth and bear it.

The only thing that surprised Mu Ge was that the external soul bone wasn't a tail anymore.

Huh——

Finally, a pair of pale blue wings radiating a red glow materialized behind the pastoral scene.

The Winged Orca Demon!

After the external soul bone took shape, Mu Ge knew its name. Its shape was somewhat similar to the pectoral fin of the Demon Orca King, and it looked very cool.

hum-

After the external soul bone took shape, Mu Ge's expression suddenly changed, and he found himself in a spiritual space.

"die!"

"Even if I die, I won't let you get away with this!"

Immediately afterwards, the figure of the Demon Orca King appeared in the mental space, roaring as it attacked Mu Ge.

"Even your true form couldn't defeat me, so what makes you, a mere soul, think you can kill me?"

Looking at the demonic orca king attacking him, Mu Ge sneered disdainfully.

Mu Ge knew that in order to fully absorb the external soul bone, he also had to resist the soul shock of the Demon Orca King.

That's why Mu Ge said that absorbing a divinely bestowed soul ring is the best way, as it eliminates the soul vibration caused by soul beasts.

However, Mu Ge didn't take the soul tremor of the Demon Orca King to heart at all.

What might be a difficult test for others, for Muge...

"Sharp eyes!"

With a glint of light in his eyes, the demonic orca king that was about to pounce on Mu Ge was blocked.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—

Immediately afterwards, one could see that the Demon Orca King, illuminated by Mu Ge's fiery eyes, was being constantly eroded and dissolved, just like a vampire encountering the sun's rays.

"ah--"

"No--"

Then, the soul of the Demon Orca King, screaming in agony, was annihilated by Pastoral Song.

hum-

After completely eliminating the Demon Orca King, Mu Ge also completed the absorption of the external soul bone, the Demon Orca Wings. His soul power was also enhanced, and Mu Ge's soul power level broke through from level 87 to level 88.

[The fourth of the Nine Trials of the Sea God: Assist the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan in killing the Evil Orca King without causing the death of any Demon Soul Great White Sharks. This mission is exceeded, and the reward is 10% Sea God Affinity!]

[Poseidon's overall affinity reaches 30%!]

At this moment, the card representing the fourth of the Nine Trials of the Sea God flew out from Mu Ge's body, and then showed Mu Ge's completion of the trial.

Muge put away the cards and looked back at Xiaobai and the others, only to find that the entire Demon Orca clan, led by Xiaobai, had been wiped out.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Ge's attention was drawn to the direction of Poseidon Island.

Even though Poseidon Island was still far away, Mu Ge felt as if he could see the light of Poseidon on Poseidon Mountain, and felt even closer to the light of Poseidon than when he was on Poseidon Mountain.

And many of those sea god lights split off and kept pouring into him!

"Pastoral Song, congratulations! You've passed the fourth of the Nine Trials of the Sea God!"

"At the same time, with your affinity with Poseidon reaching 30%, you can now use the Light of Poseidon!"

The next second, Mu Ge suddenly saw Poseidon, who appeared before him in the form of divine consciousness.

"Yes, thank you for informing me, High Priest!"

Mu Ge nodded; he knew about the Light of the Sea God.

"Pastoral Song, can you tell me how you managed to obtain the Soul Ring of the Demon Orca King?"

Poseidon looked at Muge and decided it was best to ask him.

"This is a method I devised myself, but this method of absorption requires a storage soul tool that can store living beings!"

When Mu Ge saw Poseidon's curiosity, he simply spoke up.

"I see, Pastoral Song. I have a request: if possible, I hope this method will not be leaked!"

Hearing Mu Ge's words, Poseidon breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Mu Ge seriously and said.

"Is the High Priest worried that if word gets out, a large number of Soul Masters will be able to capture Soul Rings indiscriminately?"

"Rest assured, High Priest, I will not reveal this method!"

Upon hearing Poseidon's request, and looking into her beautiful eyes, Muge seemed to see Poseidon's worry, and immediately smiled and agreed.

"Um!"

Poseidon glanced at Muge in surprise, not expecting that Muge knew what she was worried about.

It seems that the pastoral scene before her was not as bad as she had thought.

"I'm leaving now. See you in the next assessment!"

As Muge nodded, Poseidon's consciousness vanished.

Mu Ge's consciousness instantly returned to his original body. At this moment, Mu Ge felt that the light of the sea god from the Sea God Mountain was no longer flowing into him.

Mu Ge sensed it and found that the light of the sea god condensed on his body was also very strong. It felt like soul power but not quite, and it did not take up Mu Ge's soul power capacity.

"This Light of the Sea God is a valuable item. In the original story, it could be used to revive Xiao Wu and also remove the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King from Tang Chen!"

Feeling the light of the sea god emanating from his body, Mu Ge smiled with satisfaction.

Then, Muge spread its Demon Orca Wings and flew back towards Xiaobai.

……

"Jie—"

In a forest of soul beasts outside the Heavenly Capital Empire, a thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider let out a mournful scream filled with resentment and unwillingness before dying at the hands of Yu Xiaogang.

"Can you sell it?"

Seeing the gruesome death of the human-faced spider, Flander and Yu Xiaogang completely ignored its pitiful screams before it died. Those sounds had long since lost their meaning to them. What they cared about now was whether the spider could drop the external soul bone they wanted after it died.

For more than three years, they had been slaughtering soul beasts. They had obtained many soul bones, but they still hadn't obtained any external soul bones.

As for Liu Erlong, after learning that she was pregnant, she stopped joining Yu Xiaogang and the other man in slaughtering soul beasts.

hum-

Under the watchful eyes of Yu Xiaogang and Flander, soul power surged on the corpse of the human-faced demon spider.
