Absorbing Soul Bones, the Might of Sky-Rending

After dealing with the corpses of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the Radiant White Tiger, the group left the Star Dou Great Forest.

This time, Su He had gained the most. Not only had he obtained the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's powerful soul ring, but he had also acquired the Primordial Evil God Orb and the Sixty Thousand Year Radiant White Tiger Left Leg Bone. It could be said that he had made a fortune.

After boarding a carriage and traveling for two days, the five of them returned to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

Su He entered the cultivation room and took out two soul bones from his Soul Tool.

Qian Renxue took Ci Xue back to the Worship Hall. First, she needed to report on the completion of their plans during this period; second, she intended to absorb another piece from the Angel Soul Bone Set.

The Angel Soul Bone Set consisted of six pieces, each a powerful soul bone of ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years. Once all six were absorbed, their shared origin would cause all six soul bones to evolve to the Hundred Thousand Year level.

After Qian Renxue became the Angel God, these soul bones would naturally become her Angel Godly Garment, granting her incomparably powerful strength.

Su He did not have such good fortune. Therefore, whenever he obtained a high-quality ten-thousand-year soul bone, he would choose to absorb it directly.

Whether it was the thirty-thousand-year Dreadclaw Bear Left Arm Bone or the sixty-thousand-year Radiant White Tiger Left Leg Bone, the two soul bones before him were peerless treasures that could only be encountered by chance in the outside world.

Once they appeared, they would inevitably spark another bloody struggle.

Looking at the brown and yellow-white soul bones before him, Su He hesitated briefly before choosing to pick up the thirty-thousand-year Dreadclaw Bear Left Arm Bone and begin absorbing it.

This also revealed Su He's cautious and meticulous nature. He was not an arrogant person; in all things, he sought steady progress with his feet firmly on the ground.

Su He was still somewhat excited. After all, this was the first time in his life that he had absorbed a soul bone, and his very first soul bone was already thirty thousand years old.

This was a treasure coveted even by countless Titled Douluo-level experts! Yet Su He had the honor of absorbing two such soul bones while only at the Soul Ancestor level.

Closing his eyes, Su He slowly used his Spiritual Power to guide the brown Dreadclaw Bear Left Arm Bone toward his left arm. He felt a peculiar sensation, as though something were seeping into his skin.

A heavy yet Overbearing brown radiance suddenly blazed forth, enveloping Su He entirely within its glow.

Soul bones were precious not only because they were exceptionally difficult to obtain, but also because they placed no restrictions on a soul master's level.

To use an exaggerated example, even if a Level One soul master obtained a rare Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, they could still absorb it.

The reason Su He chose to wait until the Soul Ancestor stage to absorb soul bones was simple: one could not swallow more than one could chew.

This was similar to why Qian Renxue only absorbed one Angel Soul Bone every ten levels.

He already possessed many powerful methods. He needed to master what he had before pondering new abilities.

This violent and razor-sharp aura continuously stimulated Su He's left arm. The feeling was quite different from when Tang San absorbed the Spirit Condensing Wisdom Skull in the Original Work, because the attributes granted by soul bones differed.

The Dreadclaw Bear soul beast, as a subordinate soul beast of the super soul beast Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, also stood at the pinnacle of the soul beast world.

If the Dark Gold Direbear inherited the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's indestructible hide and unparalleled defensive ability, then the Dreadclaw Bear inherited the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's tremendous strength and claws sharp enough to slice through iron like mud. In terms of offense, it was virtually unstoppable.

Thus, this powerful left arm bone had fully inherited the Dreadclaw Bear soul beast's strength and sharpness attributes. It was an exceptionally pure, ultimate attack-type soul bone.

Although the absorption process was fairly smooth, it was accompanied by some pain.

At Su He's left arm, the phantom image of the brown soul bone slowly fused into his body at an extremely gradual pace. Feeling the strength in his left arm rapidly increase at an astonishing rate, Su He felt an urge to go out and wreak havoc.

This was the residual instinct of the soul beast within the soul bone influencing Su He. Dreadclaw Bears were naturally cruel and bloodthirsty, fond of slaughter and destruction. That instinct was now affecting Su He through the soul bone.

But who was Su He? Having already consumed three powerful Immortal Herbs, Su He's physique had reached an utterly unbelievable level. Naturally, he could completely suppress the soul bone's rampage.

It was the same principle as absorbing soul rings. As long as a soul master's physique was strong enough and their spirit sufficiently steadfast, absorbing a powerful soul ring beyond their limit was as simple as eating and drinking.

Brown light blazed within the cultivation room for a full two days and nights. Finally, the thirty-thousand-year Dreadclaw Bear soul bone completely fused with Su He's left arm, becoming a part of his body.

Opening his eyes and moving his left arm again, Su He felt his strength increase once more. The violent yet weighty sensation coming from his arm told him that this absorption had been a complete success.

He examined the soul bone's skill. It was called Sky-Rending Dreadclaw. This made Su He think of an exceedingly terrifying and powerful existence: Bear Lord.

The Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, now with a cultivation of four hundred and fifty thousand years, was stronger than an ordinary Level Ninety-Eight Super Douluo, though somewhat weaker than a Level Ninety-Nine ultimate existence. This was entirely thanks to the terrifying physique of soul beasts.

Bear Lord's signature technique was the Sky-Rending Claw. He had even wounded the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King, Beast God Di Tian, when Di Tian was nearing eight hundred thousand years of cultivation, during a battle.

Although he was ultimately defeated miserably by Di Tian, the fact that he could inflict such wounds upon the Beast God showed just how powerful Bear Lord was. Even though Bear Lord's cultivation did not even rank among the top five in the soul beast world, his offensive ability was the greatest among soul beasts beneath only the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and Di Tian. Even the Heavenly Snow Woman, Snow Empress, fell slightly short.

The soul bone skill Sky-Rending Dreadclaw had no other flashy effects. All it possessed was attack power powerful to the extreme.

Su He estimated that the Sky-Rending Dreadclaw, when activated by consuming a great deal of Soul Power, could easily tear through the defenses of Soul Emperor experts and inflict heavy damage upon them. If Su He's control of Adamant Qi improved further, then with the two working together, he might even be able to try breaking through the Martial Soul Avatar of an ordinary Soul Saint expert.

Su He stretched and walked out of the cultivation room. Having just absorbed a soul bone, he planned to rest for a while before absorbing the second, even more powerful soul bone.

He also needed to begin refining the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Primordial Evil God Orb. If he could comprehend its precious time and spatial attributes, he would gain another powerful trump card—one that could kill enemies above and preserve his life below.

Arriving at a small hill in the rear courtyard of the Crown Prince's Palace, Su He wanted to test the might of Sky-Rending Dreadclaw.

After expending a great deal of Soul Power to activate Sky-Rending Dreadclaw, Su He had originally only wanted to see how deep a claw mark it could leave. The result, however, left him dumbfounded.

A streak of golden light flashed. The seemingly solid hillside was sliced in half by Sky-Rending Dreadclaw as though it were a block of tofu, and the upper half slowly slid down along the smooth cut.

For a moment, dust and sand flew everywhere. The massive rumbling shock startled many palace servants, who hurried out to watch.
