Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 263 External Soul Bone...Wings?

Lin Yun is quite picky about soul bones.

Although the soul bones on the limbs are not entirely irreplaceable after absorption, the process of replacing the soul bones involves cutting off the original limbs, which is certainly not a pleasant experience.

Lin Yun didn't have a penchant for self-harm, nor did he lack the boost that one or two soul bones could provide.

So unless it's an extremely powerful soul bone, like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul bone, he'd be somewhat interested. Apart from that, the only non-Dragon King level soul bones that would make him consider whether or not to absorb them are external soul bones.

The normal locations of his soul bones were reserved for the numerous dragon king corpses in the Dragon Tomb.

And coincidentally, the Demon Orca King's soul bone really does look like an external soul bone.

only……

Why would the Demon Orca King, a mere sea spirit beast, drop a soul bone like wings?!

Yes, the soul bone of the Demon Orca King is a pair of small black and red wings, and they don't look like the fleshy wings of dragons, but rather the feathers of birds.

"?!" Lin Yun stared blankly at the tiny wings he was holding, feeling for the first time that his memories as a transmigrator were being challenged.

The love between a seabird and a fish was just an accident.

So, you evil orca king, you weren't born after your father ate a seabird soul beast, were you?

Lin Yun's intense curiosity even gave him the urge to drag out the demonic orca king's soul from his soul ring and soul bone and question it all.

"Bing'er, Xue'er, do you think it's reasonable for a demonic orca to drop a pair of wing soul bones?" Lin Yun asked the two emperors, Bing'er and Xue'er, his tone tinged with helplessness.

Hyotei and Yuki-tei exchanged a glance and shook their heads, indicating that the question touched on a blind spot in their knowledge.

The little loli Ice Emperor even made a very clever suggestion: "Why don't you kill me, Your Majesty, and see what kind of soul bone you get?"

state!

state!

Lin Yun and Xue Di each slammed a hammer into Bing Di's head, producing two exceptionally pleasant and melodious sounds.

Hyotei, clutching two freshly formed bumps on their heads, squatted to one side looking utterly dejected.

"Don't talk nonsense, or I'll make sure you can't get out of bed tomorrow!" Lin Yun glared at Bingdi in annoyance, then put away the soul bone.

Since we don't understand what this soul bone is all about, we can study it slowly when we get back to land. At worst, we can pull out the soul of the Demon Orca King and ask him. There's no rush.

Moreover, having already obtained the sixth spirit ring, there's no point in staying on the sea any longer; it's time to go back.

Snow Empress rolled her eyes at Ice Empress helplessly. How come she never noticed before that her sister seemed to be a little mentally unstable?

"Alright, stop feeling wronged. It's time to head back to Douluo Continent." Lin Yun looked at Bingdi, who was still squatting to the side with her head in her hands, and then hugged the little girl in his arms with a mix of helplessness and affection before setting off back to Douluo Continent.

They've gone quite far out to sea this time; it'll probably take them several days to get back.

……

While Lin Yun was out at sea searching for the Demon Orca King, the Douluo Continent did not find peace after his departure. The Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire, which had enjoyed a brief period of relative peace thanks to Qing Ye's "Secret Biography of the Supreme Elder," resumed fighting after a minor skirmish on their border.

Although this war was not as intense as before, casualties from gang fights occurred every day, and the two empires fought each other more and more fiercely.

Especially the Star Luo Empire.

Damn it, before your Douling split, the Tiandou Empire, which had more land than us, was always suppressed and beaten by us. But now that you have split into Douling, my Xingluo can no longer defeat you?

Outrageous!

Xu Jiawei even lost his temper more than once in the Xingluo court because of this matter, and Dai Hao, the White Tiger Duke who was in charge of the central army, also lost face.

Needless to say, the situation in the Douling Empire was even worse. Princess Xue Qingci had mysteriously disappeared, and their last hope for the evolution of their martial soul had been completely shattered. Their anger didn't even need to be provoked or guided; their blood pressure was already at its peak.

The Heavenly Soul Empire remained on the sidelines, while the Heavenly Soul Emperor hesitated, wondering whether to take the opportunity to stab the Douling Empire in the backyard.

According to reports from border scouts, the Douling Empire is truly waging war against the Xingluo Empire with all its might. The defenses along the border with the Tianhun Empire are not exactly non-existent, but rather utterly useless.

The scouts of the Tianhun Border Army were coming and going along the Douling border like it was a public toilet, while the Douling side remained completely still, like a toad that had given up.

This really made Emperor Tianhun somewhat restless.

But when he thought of the Sun Moon Empire, which was also observing from the shadows without making a move and who knows what wicked schemes it was plotting, Emperor Tianhun suppressed his impulse and continued to maintain his original posture, spying on the Star Luo Empire and the Douling Empire.

So what was the Sun and Moon Empire doing at this time?

Coincidentally, the Sun Moon Empire, like the Heavenly Soul Empire, is currently in a wait-and-see phase. If the Heavenly Soul Emperor really intends to steal from the Spirit Fighting Empire from behind, then they themselves might also be the ones to be outmaneuvered by the Sun Moon Empire.

During this period, the old emperor of the Sun Moon Empire was nearing his end, and the power of the Sun Moon Empire had basically fallen into the hands of Crown Prince Xu Tianran.

While Xu Tianran may be slightly less adept at strategy, he is truly remarkable in terms of ambition and political maneuvering. He is bold and ruthless, both towards others and himself. Although his decline in that area has led to some psychological abnormality and extremism, it is precisely because of this that he is even more terrifying.

Without other distracting thoughts affecting his mind, his pursuit of power and his obsession with unifying the continent became even more profound.

In Douluo Continent, anyone who isn't love-struck is quite terrifying, and Xu Tianran, who was forced to lose his love-struck mind, is naturally one of them.

Although he wasn't very good at strategy, he knew how to use people and could clearly see the current situation.

He is waiting.

They awaited the old emperor's death and Xu Tianran's ascension to the throne.

Xu Tianran was delighted by the war between the Douling Empire and the Xingluo Empire, as it gave him the greatest hope of unifying the continent. However, he did not want this day to come too soon, because he was still the Crown Prince.

The achievement of unifying the continent should be recorded on Emperor Xu Tianran, not on the current old emperor.

"Orange, it seems your wish for revenge will soon be fulfilled!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for giving me this opportunity. I will never forget your kindness."
