Soul Bone

Han Nuan, whom Ye Lei had flung aside earlier, flew over at this moment as well.

After landing, she walked over to Ye Lei's side. Looking at the scene before her, she asked in disbelief,

"Ye Lei, isn't your strength a little too absurd?!"

Ye Lei chuckled, which counted as an answer.

At that moment, black particles began to disperse from the Human-Faced Spider Emperor's body. They merged together in midair, forming a black soul ring that hovered in the air.

Seeing this, Ye Lei took out the Soul Ring Collector from the System Space and stored it away.

Just as Ye Lei and Han Nuan were preparing to leave, the Human-Faced Spider Emperor's corpse, which had dimmed, lit up again. A strangely shaped purple-black bone separated from the corpse, slowly rose into the air, and floated there, radiating a purple glow.

The bone was about the length of a human calf, but its shape resembled one of the Human-Faced Spider Emperor's long spear-like legs. Purple liquid flowed within it.

Ye Lei completely lost his composure, because this was a soul bone—an eighty-thousand-year Human-Faced Spider Emperor soul bone.

At that moment, the system's voice rang out.

Congratulations, Host, on successfully obtaining a soul bone. Age: eighty thousand years. Human-Faced Spider Emperor's Left Leg Bone. Soul Bone Skill: Spider Emperor Purple Light Slash. It also comes with a domain skill: Mental Hunting Ground! With yourself as the center, you can lock onto all enemies within a radius of 800 meters, including soul beasts.

After hearing the system's words, Ye Lei nearly jumped three feet into the air. What delighted him was not the Soul Bone Skill, but the domain skill. Once he absorbed it, his strength would definitely rise to a whole new level.

The next second, Ye Lei directly lashed out with Blue Silver Grass, pulling the soul bone over. The moment he held it in his hand, he felt a powerful force.

Han Nuan, standing nearby, curiously looked at Ye Lei, whose eyes were shining as he held the strangely shaped purple-black bone. She tilted her head in confusion, unable to understand why he was so excited over a bone. Tugging on Ye Lei, she asked,

"Ye Lei, what is that bone in your hand?"

Ye Lei turned to look at the curious Han Nuan, affectionately rubbed her head, and said,

"This is a soul bone. It's produced by high-year soul beasts, though thousand-year soul beasts can produce them too. Every soul bone has a unique skill, some strong and some weak."

"Then what skill does this soul bone have?" Han Nuan looked at Ye Lei with curious eyes.

Her gaze melted Ye Lei's heart with how adorable it was, and he immediately replied,

"This... I'm not sure either. I'll tell you after I absorb it."

"Mhm, mhm."

"Then help guard me."

With that, Ye Lei sat down on the ground. The soul bone in his hand directly adhered to his left leg. Purple-black light continuously surged against his body, and a light sheen of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Half an hour later.

Ye Lei opened his eyes and stood up. He moved his left leg, feeling that it was stronger than before.

He instinctively activated the soul bone's domain. In an instant, an invisible spiderweb extended in all directions with him at its center. Before long, every living thing within a radius of 800 meters appeared in Ye Lei's mind.

At that moment, Han Nuan came over. Seeing that Ye Lei looked fine, she asked,

"How is it, Ye Lei?"

Ye Lei smiled and said,

"Pretty good. The Soul Bone Skill is Spider Emperor Purple Light Slash, and it comes with the domain skill Mental Hunting Ground. I'll let you see its effects later."

After saying that, Ye Lei summoned the Flame Lord and continued onward with Han Nuan.

As they traveled, Ye Lei kept the soul bone domain active, scouting everything around them.

Ye Lei played with the Beast Soul he had just dug out of the Human-Faced Spider Emperor's brain. This Beast Soul was larger than any he had obtained before and contained enormous energy. Ye Lei decided to use it for Blue Silver Grass's third soul ring. It would definitely strengthen the soul ring, since they were from the same species...

Just then, Ye Lei sensed something amiss through his soul bone domain. A gigantic soul beast appeared in his mind.

Ye Lei frowned but said nothing, only quickening his pace.

Five minutes later.

Suddenly, the Soul Beast Detector in Ye Lei's hand began to sound frantically. He raised it and saw four large words flashing continuously across it:

Target detected.
