Chapter 148 Bone Extraction (Part 1)
"you!"
Wang Dong blushed bright red, whether from anger or embarrassment, he waved his fists and chased after Xiao Xiao. Huo Yuhao quickly stood between the two, but was beaten up by the reckless Wang Dong.
Watching the three of them bickering, Elder Xuan, who was standing to the side with his eyes slightly narrowed, gave Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao a deep look.
Given Elder Xuan's status, he was naturally qualified to examine the secrets of the Goddess of Light Butterfly.
When Wang Dong finally speaks frankly, Huo Yuhao's expression will probably be quite interesting.
Xuan Lao suddenly looked forward to that day.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing! Xiao Xiao, hurry up and fuse it. I also want to see just how miraculous this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right paw soul bone can be."
Seeing the three of them continuing to fool around, Elder Xuan finally spoke up to stop them.
As he spoke, he handed the soul bone to Xiao Xiao, signaling her to begin immediately.
Xiao Xiao took the soul bone, looked down at it, then suddenly looked up at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, and said earnestly, "Thank you."
You're thanking me too soon!
Huo Yuhao thought to himself.
Xiao Xiao sat down on the spot, holding the dark gold Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's right palm bone, and mobilized the soul power she had just broken through to induce the soul bone to merge with herself.
It was clear that, under the influence of her soul power, the right palm bone seemed to melt, turning into a pool of dark golden liquid that slowly seeped into her right hand.
Huo Yuhao watched this scene with great interest.
Since his transmigration, Huo Yuhao has only absorbed one soul bone, which is the torso bone from Bingdi. However, at that time, it was with the cooperation of Tianmeng and Bingdi. Huo Yuhao was so focused on the pain that he didn't notice the details at all.
The mere pull of soul power caused a bone to transform into an energy-filled liquid, which eventually merged into the soul master's bones, completing the transformation of the soul master. This change was exceptionally miraculous.
Even the Supreme Bone of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor next door has to be in its proper bone form and cannot be easily changed.
Unlike Huo Yuhao's curiosity, Elder Xuan and Wang Dong were already very familiar with the process of absorbing soul bones. Wang Dong had already sat cross-legged and begun cultivating his soul power.
After all, even Huo Yuhao is about to reach the third ring, which makes Wang Dong feel a bit anxious.
As for Elder Xuan? He was still lying leisurely to the side, although every now and then a few yellow orbs of light would fall out and disappear into the ground.
Seeing that Xiao Xiao's absorption seemed to be on track, Huo Yuhao also sat cross-legged like Wang Dong, seemingly cultivating, but his consciousness was actually seeking guidance from Tianmeng in his spiritual sea:
"Sister Tianmeng, do you think there's any way to forcibly stop the backlash from the soul bone?"
"You mean this little girl in front of you? And what did you see?"
Upon entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Tianmeng, unusually, did not sleep. Instead, she remained on standby in her spiritual sea. Even Electrolux, who was often disconnected, woke up, ready to deal with the scene "foreshadowed" by Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao said in a nonchalant tone, "It's nothing. It's just that I couldn't suppress the Dark Gold Terror Claw, and the soul bone backfired. If there's no other way, I'll probably be the one to absorb this Dark Gold Terror Claw. However, the Dark Gold Terror Claw has only provided me with limited improvement over the past two thousand years. If I'm aiming to inherit the godhood, I probably won't be able to wait for this soul bone to grow strong enough."
"A two-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw, and a potentially growing external soul bone, and you're already complaining?"
Tianmeng was speechless at Huo Yuhao's Versailles-like tone. If she had such useful abilities before, wouldn't she have been able to do whatever she wanted?
"Isn't this a glimpse into my future soul bone configuration? It's the only thing that becomes less and less useful as time goes on..."
"Furthermore, to forcibly absorb this dark gold terror claw, one must either expose their second martial soul and use the Ice Emperor's Claw to strengthen their hand, or use the secret medicine prepared for their third soul ring..."
Tianmeng waved her short hand and said, "Alright, alright, stop thinking about it. Once the soul bones begin to fuse, either the fusion will succeed or it will fail and detonate the fusion site. Even if there are strong people to help suppress the rampaging soul bones, they can only barely transfer the energy of the soul bones to other fusion bodies. In the end, it will still be one of the two results mentioned above. There are no other options."
"Unless the 'person' who replaced this little girl can be discarded at will, then the little girl can be preserved while her soul bone can be separated."
Suddenly, an aged voice rang out, and everyone in the Sea of Spirits instinctively turned towards the direction from which the voice came.
Tianmeng asked, somewhat puzzled, "Isn't that just stating the obvious? Right now, only Xiaoyuhao can take over for this little girl and absorb the soul bone..."
Bingdi and Huo Yuhao watched quietly from the side, not daring to participate in the discussion between the two.
Electrolux's aged voice rang out again: "That's not necessarily true. What if we use a soul tool to simulate human bones to replace this absorption? You soul masters can even use soul bones to create soul tools, so it inevitably involves the containment and activation of soul bones. Perhaps we can use a soul tool to replace human hands to withstand this explosion..."
Just as the four were discussing, an accident occurred to Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao's body began to tremble abnormally, and this sudden change immediately caught the attention of Elder Xuan.
A frenzied surge of intent emanated from Xiao Xiao's right hand, as if a life was struggling desperately. This struggle wasn't about resistance, but about breaking free, like an oviparous creature trying to hatch from its shell, forcing its way out of Xiao Xiao's palm.
"Oh no!" Elder Xuan thought to himself, realizing he had been careless. He had been so focused on the advantages of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's right paw bone that he had forgotten the biggest difference between a soul bone and a soul ring: a soul bone places more emphasis on its inherent quality, while the lifespan of a soul ring is more important.
Just like the skull of a mythical beast, although it is only ten thousand years old, who dares to say that it is inferior to an ordinary hundred-thousand-year-old soul bone?
(At this moment, the Imperial Beast, far away in the core area, suddenly sneezed, shook its head, and looked around, but couldn't figure out where the strange feeling from just now came from.)
The right hand of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw is just like that. As the strongest part of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, it is far more than it appears on the surface. If nurtured properly, it may have the potential to reach the level of ultimate gold. Its internal energy is naturally extremely violent!
At this moment, the violent force was forcefully reshaping Xiao Xiao's palm. Moreover, since the ten fingers are connected to the heart, the transformation of the palm was a far greater test of a Soul Master's willpower than that of the limbs.
"Xiao Xiao, hold on." Elder Xuan shouted in a low voice. At this moment, no one could help her. She had to rely on her own strength to absorb the soul bone.
Once external forces intervene...
Energy-enhanced soul bones will preferentially absorb external energy to strengthen themselves. Even if fusion is temporarily stopped, the soul bone will continue to grow stronger. Once the external force disappears, the strengthened soul bone will become even more difficult to absorb.
Therefore, Master Xuan could only offer words of encouragement from the sidelines, rather than directly intervening.
"Teacher, my hands are melting, I can't hold on any longer."
Xiao Xiao cried out in pain, unable to maintain her cross-legged sitting position any longer. She suddenly rolled over and fell to the ground, her right hand unconsciously gripping the ground due to the spasming nerves.
As you can see, a dark golden light begins to extend from her right hand to her right arm, and Xiao Xiao's entire body begins to convulse violently.
"Not good, the soul bone is backfiring." Elder Xuan could no longer care about anything else. He quickly flashed to Xiao Xiao's side and slapped her right shoulder with his palm, sealing the backfiring dark golden light in Xiao Xiao's right arm.
However, Xiao Xiao's right arm began to swell, as if the power within it was about to break free of its restraints.
