I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

Xu Xingyu, who had already completed the fusion of the Mountain Dragon King's torso bones, was somewhat stunned! In just a short while, Xu Xingyu had actually completed the fusion of the Mountain Dragon King's soul bones! The entire process took less than ten minutes!

The fusion time for the left palm bone of the Light Dragon King was even shorter than that for the torso bone of the Mountain Dragon King!

If Xu Xingyu hadn't felt that the two soul bones had truly fused with her and that she had indeed gained power boosts and new skills, she would have doubted whether she had fused with fake soul bones.

However, upon closer reflection, this is most likely because one's body did not actually fuse with the soul bone, but rather absorbed it. This phenomenon only occurs when the bloodline of the fused soul bone differs significantly from the soul master's own bloodline.

If the bloodline in the soul bone is nobler than the soul master's bloodline, then it is not impossible for the soul master to experience great pain or even die when fusing with the soul bone. However, if the soul master's bloodline is more noble, then fusing with the soul bone will become a process of devouring the soul bone, and the soul bone will be absorbed by the soul master without any effort.

Soul Masters will still gain the abilities and bonuses of Soul Bones, but the Soul Skills they develop may undergo slight mutations due to changes in their own bloodline.

The most obvious example in the original work is Tang Wulin, who once obtained a hundred-year-old dark gold dinosaur claw bear right palm bone, and then absorbed that soul bone by devouring it, just like Xu Xingyu.

After consuming that soul bone, he did not obtain the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's original soul skill, Dark Gold Terrorclaw. Instead, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw skill merged with his own Golden Dragon Claw, giving birth to the even more powerful ultimate skill, Golden Dragon Terrorclaw.

Xu Xingyu had previously absorbed the Dragon King's soul bone through a process of devouring, since at least in this Douluo Galaxy, no beast's bloodline was more noble than the Dragon God's bloodline.

However, the first time he fused with the soul bone, which was the left palm of the Dark Dragon King, his cultivation was relatively weak, so even if he absorbed it, it still took some time. The second time, he fused with the soul bone of the Ice and Fire Dragon King at the same time when the Chaos Core had a problem.

Both soul bone absorption processes were extremely arduous and painful, to the point that Xu Xingyu himself did not realize that he was absorbing the soul bones through devouring.

However, it's not too late to know now. At least it won't waste too much time when fusing the Dragon King's soul bone in the future, right?

After clearing her mind of distractions, Xu Xingyu looked at the bead in her hand that contained the divinely bestowed soul ring. Because of her bloodline advantage, it was easier and faster for Xu Xingyu to fuse with soul bones, but it was different to fuse with a divinely bestowed soul ring.

Divinely bestowed soul rings are different from normal soul rings. They do not contain the energy condensed after the death of a soul beast. Instead, they are special soul rings condensed by the god using his own divine power based on the framework of the soul ring.

While absorbing this kind of spirit ring will not be subject to any resentment from spirit beasts or suppression of bloodlines, it is precisely for this reason that extra care must be taken when washing one's hands.

If one becomes greedy and desires a higher-level spirit ring, one may unknowingly increase the age of the divinely bestowed spirit ring beyond one's physical limits during the absorption process, leaving oneself covered in injuries, or even killing oneself.

Admittedly, Xu Xingyu, who possesses a god-level physique, doesn't particularly need to worry about these issues, so she can absorb them freely. However, it's best not to be too reckless.

The golden bead in her hand transformed into a thick golden mist that merged into Xu Xingyu's body. A purple-gold star rose behind Xu Xingyu, and six spirit rings—red, red, red, purple, gold, purple, gold, purple—appeared.

The moment Xu Xingyu absorbed the golden mist, she could feel a massive amount of energy being absorbed by her. Guided by Xu Xingyu, this energy was absorbed by the purple-gold star symbolizing an emperor. At the same moment the energy was absorbed, a phantom white spirit ring began to appear.

As energy continued to be absorbed, the color of the spirit ring gradually changed from white to yellow, and after absorbing a certain amount of energy, the spirit ring exploded!

However, this does not mean that Xu Xingyu failed to fuse the spirit ring. After all, with his cultivation level, a mere hundred-year spirit ring is not qualified to be his seventh spirit ring!

The fragments of the exploding spirit ring reassembled at this moment, and this time the color changed from yellow, symbolizing a hundred years, to purple, symbolizing a thousand years.

After officially turning purple, the spirit ring exploded again and reformed, then began the process of turning from purple to black, and after that, the spirit ring changed from black to red.

The most difficult step is when the divinely bestowed soul ring turns red, because from this point on, one must use one's own martial soul to inscribe a golden pattern on the soul ring after absorbing energy for every 100,000 years.

Normally, this golden pattern is a unique mark left by the soul ring of a soul beast after it dies after arriving at the ferocious beast, symbolizing the power of the laws of heaven and earth that the soul beast comprehended during its lifetime.

However, there is no such law power in the divinely bestowed soul ring. This means that if a soul master wants to further increase the age of their divinely bestowed soul ring and surpass the limit of 100,000 years, they must inscribe the law power they have comprehended on the divinely bestowed soul ring through their martial soul.

This is why the highest limit of the divinely bestowed soul rings usually awarded by the divine examination is usually 100,000 years, rather than a more advanced ferocious beast soul ring. Because if you want to do that, you either have to let the soul master inscribe the law himself, or you have to inscribe it for the soul master in advance.

The latter's action is tantamount to distributing his authority among the spirit rings.

No god would be willing to do something so thankless and arduous. Even if that person is their successor, since if the successor fails halfway, then not only will their soul ring, which bears a portion of their authority, be wasted, but their authority will also be weakened!

As for the former, it is more difficult for the Soul Master to inscribe the laws himself, because a normal Soul Master can only comprehend the power of laws after becoming a Title Douluo, while Soul Rings are only needed by Soul Masters who have not yet become Title Douluos or Soul Masters with twin Martial Souls.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, no god would be willing to create a soul ring with an upper limit that can reach the lifespan of a ferocious beast or even a million years. It would be too wasteful of divine power. Moreover, it would be more efficient to keep the energy for one's own use rather than to create such a divinely bestowed soul ring.

Only a deity like the Dragon God, who has long since fallen and holds unimaginable trust in his successor, would create such a thankless and laborious divinely bestowed soul ring!

Xu Xingyu did not disappoint the Dragon God's expectations. Although his soul power cultivation had not yet reached the level of a titled being, due to his god-level blood and spiritual power and the Dragon God's bloodline, Xu Xingyu had long ago begun to come into contact with the power of laws and had his own understanding of it.

Therefore, completing the inscription on the spirit ring is only a matter of time!
