Just looking at it, one could sense the violence and sharpness contained within this bone.

Among Dark Gold Claw Bear Soul Bones, the Dark Gold Claw was supreme, possessing the finest quality.

Correspondingly, it was also the most difficult to absorb.

In the original story, Xiao Xiao had once absorbed a roughly two-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Claw Bear right claw, but she had been completely unable to withstand the pressure of the Dark Gold Claw Bear's right claw.

Her entire right arm had nearly been crippled.

There had been no choice but to let Huo Yuhao absorb it.

Yet even Huo Yuhao, who possessed the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Torso Bone, Spirit Gold, and the Ice Emperor's Claw, had suffered immensely while absorbing that two-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Claw Bear right claw.

And now, Su Yu's Dark Gold Claw Bear right claw was not two thousand years old, but a genuine ten-thousand-year one.

The difference between ten thousand years and two thousand years was enormous.

If a two-thousand-year Dark Gold Claw Bear could threaten a Soul Emperor,

then a ten-thousand-year Dark Gold Claw Bear could make even an ordinary Titled Douluo retreat.

It could not be helped. The Dark Gold Claw Bear clan's offensive power was simply that outrageous.

Even a Soul Sage would find it difficult to absorb its right claw bone without harm.

After all, the bloodline power of the Dark Gold Claw Bear clan was far too troublesome.

But Su Yu remained utterly fearless. With the Dragon God Seal, he could suppress anything that refused to submit.

Su Yu held the ten-thousand-year Dark Gold Claw Bear's right palm bone in his hand, then activated his Soul Power and fused with it.

Under the influence of his Soul Power, the ten-thousand-year Dark Gold Claw Bear's right palm bone seemed to melt, transforming into a pool of golden liquid that seeped into his right hand.

When the liquid formed from the Dark Gold Claw right palm bone entered his palm, Su Yu initially felt extremely comfortable, as though a warm liquid had enveloped his right hand.

But that warmth quickly turned scorching. Though the Soul Power within him circulated at high speed, it was utterly unable to interfere with the fusion of the Soul Bone in his right hand.

The scorching heat gradually became blazing, and Su Yu's entire right hand turned dark gold. Vaguely, it seemed as though something was about to burrow out from his hand.

Intense pain surged from his right hand, while waves of frenzied will spread from within it, as though a living creature were struggling.

Then, an incomparably sharp and violent aura poured directly into Su Yu's body through his right hand.

The violent, razor-sharp energy seemed intent on tearing apart Su Yu's Meridians and flesh, bringing him incomparable agony.

"A glow from a grain of rice dares to shine!"

Feeling the searing pain in his hand, Su Yu snorted coldly.

The next moment, a nine-colored seal floated into the air, its nine-colored radiance shrouding the area for several yards around.

Bi Ji and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion awoke at the same time. As they looked upon the nine-colored light, their eyes were filled with reverence and fear.

As the Dragon God Seal appeared, the ancient and supreme majesty belonging to the Dragon God spread outward.

Within Su Yu's body, the Dragon God's aura swept through him. In an instant, the Dark Gold Claw Bear bloodline was completely suppressed.

The frenzied will that had originally resided within the Soul Bone vanished without a trace, replaced by unparalleled compliance.

The scorching sensation swiftly became a warm, comfortable feeling. The Dark Gold Claw Bear's power seemed to throw itself willingly into his embrace, and the power of the Dark Gold Claw was completely unearthed.

As the power of the Dark Gold Claw Bear's right claw poured in, Su Yu's entire palm thoroughly turned dark gold.

The bones in his palm grew slightly larger, though the change was not obvious. The bones of his five fingers broadened at the top and narrowed below, taking on the shape of blades, while even the surrounding muscles continuously wriggled and changed.

Immense power gradually compressed within the bones before slowly taking shape. Gradually, strange patterns began to emerge upon Su Yu's palm bones.

Where the finger bones and palm bones were broad and thick, the patterns took the form of cloud motifs. At the sharp lower edges, however, they became triangular, razor-sharp patterns layered densely atop one another. Every pattern seemed to contain boundless power.

Time passed second by second. About half an hour later, the palm bone finally took shape completely.

As if sensing something, Su Yu raised his right arm.

With a squelching sound, blood sprayed from the five fingers of Su Yu's right hand. Then, five dark golden rays abruptly extended outward.

Each ray was about two and a half feet long, broad at the top and narrow below like a blade, with dark golden streams of light rippling across them like water.

The instant they appeared, the air let out a faint howl of its own accord. Su Yu's entire right hand had completely turned dark gold.

The wounds at his fingertips rapidly closed, and his fingers became one with those blades, inseparable from them. The five blades were like extensions of his fingers.

Immediately afterward, dark golden streams of light suddenly surged back from his right palm, traveling up his right arm and spreading throughout his entire body in an instant.

Su Yu looked as though he had been washed by a layer of dark golden light.

Su Yu opened his eyes, and a trace of dark golden radiance flashed through his ice-blue pupils.

Su Yu let out a breath and rose to his feet. Looking at the five sharp claws in his hand, each a full two and a half feet long, his gaze flickered.

He spun around, and the claws in his hand tore through the air before slashing into the large tree behind him.

Like a knife cutting through tofu, they met not the slightest resistance. The five dark golden claws sank in with ease.

Su Yu took out another tungsten steel ball roughly one meter in diameter and tossed it into the air.

Then he waved the five claws in a flurry. Moments later, the tungsten steel ball that had originally been about a meter wide had turned into metal fragments scattered all over the ground.

"So sharp. If this landed on someone, I could easily tear through even a Soul Sage's defenses."

Su Yu sighed, his eyes shining.

The Dark Gold Claw Bear truly was a super Soul Beast renowned for its offensive power. This peerless sharpness was simply terrifying.

If his strength grew further and he reached Soul Ancestor or even Soul King,

then the Dark Gold Claws in his hand might even be able to tear through a Soul Douluo's defenses.

It was not that the Dark Gold Claws were lacking, but that his current cultivation was holding them back.

"I originally wanted to add a purely offensive Soul Ring to the Ice Emperor Martial Soul, but now that I have the Dark Gold Claws, I can abandon that idea."

Su Yu murmured to himself. The Dark Gold Claws possessed such terrifying offensive power that he no longer lacked methods of attack.

In the future, when adding Soul Rings, he could consider other aspects instead.

After all, Soul Ring slots were limited and could not be wasted.

With that thought, Su Yu put away the Dragon God Seal Martial Soul. The five blades on his right hand melted away like ice and snow, silently disappearing.

Even the dark golden color on his palm vanished.

His entire right hand seemed no different from before.

But he knew that his right hand was far tougher than it had been before. In fact, it was not just his right hand—after absorbing this Dark Gold Claw, even his physical constitution had improved considerably.
