Heart of Bulbasaur

More than a thousand years?

Upon hearing Qing Mu's words, the Ten Thousand Demon King was stunned for a moment, then said in disbelief:

"Impossible! Your soul would have been obliterated long ago!"

"Nothing is impossible."

Having been trapped for over a thousand years, Qing Mu hadn't interacted with anyone for a long time, so she didn't mind chatting with the Ten Thousand Demon King for a while longer.

In any case, given Qing Mu's current Spiritual Power strength, the Ten Thousand Demon King in this state could not pose any threat to him.

A look of reminiscence appeared in Qing Mu's eyes. "Your Instant Thousand Years can indeed slowly erode my soul, but for me it is also an excellent tempering."

"A hundred years ago, the rate at which my Spiritual Power increased surpassed the rate at which you were annihilated. After that, my Spiritual Power continued to grow stronger until just now, when my Spiritual Power exceeded your limit of enduring Instant Thousand Years. The world shattered, and I emerged."

Hahaha, hahaha...

Upon hearing Qing Mu's explanation, the Ten Thousand Demon King couldn't help but smile wryly, "I never expected that the predicament I prepared for you would become nourishment for your growth."

More than a thousand years is but a short time for him, perhaps it would pass in a single period of seclusion, but for Qing Mu, a human, it is the length of several lifetimes.

Looking at the Ten Thousand Demon King, who was somewhat driven to madness, Qing Mu's eyes remained silent as she calmly asked, "Do you have any last words?"

"Perhaps I shouldn't have pursued you."

The Ten Thousand Demon King gradually calmed down, looking directly at Qing Mu. "But I don't regret it, because even if I were to go back to that situation, I would still make the same choice."

Then, the body of the Ten Thousand Demon King began to solidify, and all his remaining Spiritual Power was concentrated into a huge gray-white eye.

"Make your move. Let me see just how far your Spiritual Power, honed over a thousand years, has reached."

The gray-white eyes spoke with unwavering resolve. In the next instant, a gray-white beam of light shot out from those eyes—a strike that represented the culmination of his power. Regardless of the final outcome, he would die!

Facing the final blow from the Ten Thousand Demon King, Qing Mu Qing Mu unfazed. She simply stretched out a hand and gently clenched it. In the next instant, a palm that blotted out the sky appeared out of thin air, crushing the gray-white eyeball and the gray-white beam of light into powder.

The once mighty plant-based Soul Beast King, the Ten Thousand Demon King, is utterly dead!

At the moment the Ten Thousand Demon King died completely, the crystalline heart finally merged completely with Qing Mu's body. Almost instantly, a burst of information appeared in Qing Mu's mind, and Qing Mu also knew the function of this External Soul Bone.

The first function is called Assimilation. The External Soul Bone will replace Qing Mu's heart, constantly surging out energy to temper Qing Mu's body. As the energy continues to wash over the body, the other Soul Bone within Qing Mu's body will become the same as the External Soul Bone in terms of attributes.

Moreover, as the attributes of Qing Mu's other Soul Bone change, Soul Bone age will also increase, eventually reaching the same level as the External Soul Bone.

After understanding the effect, Qing Mu stroked his chin. "Interesting. The External Soul Bone of the Ten Thousand Demon King is very powerful. Although it seems to only upgrade the Soul Bone in my body to 500,000 years, the level of the External Soul Bone can be increased."

In other words, given enough time, I can gather a complete set of million-year or even higher-grade Soul Bone in the Douluo Continent, and they will be the most suitable Soul Bone for me."

Although one can Sheer Force upgrade the level of Soul Bone through Divine Power after becoming a god, it is extremely painful and carries the risk of failure if one is not careful, which is obviously not as comfortable as Qing Mu's External Soul Bone.

As for the second effect of this External Soul Bone, Qing Mu was more familiar with it, because its name was "Instant Ten Thousand Years".

"Instant Ten Thousand Years" is both a domain and a top-tier Spiritual Power attack Soul Skill. Once cast, it can instantly freeze a person's movements.

Essentially, it attacks the opponent's spirit, causing their mind to become disconnected from their body; their mind may have spanned millennia, while the external world is but a fleeting moment.

The only way to escape this influence is to surpass Qing Mu in Spiritual Power.

"Since you have become my Soul Bone, then I shall call you Heart of Bulbasaur."

After silently reciting the mantra, Qing Mu's consciousness returned to her physical body.

As soon as Qing Mu opened her eyes, she saw Bulbasaur's big red eyes filled with worry. Bulbasaur was looking at her with some concern.

"Da na!!!"

Upon seeing Qing Mu wake up, Bulbasaur's initial worry instantly turned into joy, and it rushed towards Qing Mu.

Qing Mu was tackled to the ground, Bulbasaur excitedly rubbed against Qing Mu's chest.

"Alright, alright, Bulbasaur, I'm here now, aren't I?"

Qing Mu reached out and gently patted Bulbasaur's back, softly comforting it.

Compared to the monotonous life of the past thousand years, the present definitely feels more real.

Qing Mu sighed inwardly. Although the Ten Thousand Demon King was powerful, the space he constructed was just a forest. Although it was boundless, the scenery was no different from other places.

Therefore, Qing Mu truly sat in meditation and cultivated for over a thousand years. In many instances, Qing Mu even forgot the passage of time, focusing only on the slow increase of his Spiritual Power.

A few moments later, Bulbasaur finally stopped. For a split second, he almost thought Qing Mu was going to have an accident.

Qing Mu smiled as she got up, put Bulbasaur down, used her Confusion to move the boulder at the door, and slowly walked out.

It was early morning, Qing Mu Bulba bright sun was rising from the horizon. The orange-red sunlight shone on Qing Mu and Bulbasaur, giving them a unique beauty.

"This is the real world!"

Qing Mu took a deep breath, looking at the orange-red light reflecting off the sky, her eyes filled with longing for the future.

Bulbasaur quietly followed Qing Mu, gazing at the beautiful scenery outside. A hint of excitement flickered in its eyes. It had been guarding Qing Mu for more than ten days, and now that it was over, it could see such a beautiful view, which made it feel much more at ease.

After a long while, as the morning glow faded, Qing Mu slowly withdrew his gaze, turned to Bulbasaur and said, "Bulbasaur, we should go!"

"Da na~"

Bulbasaur nodded, and then left the place where they had stayed for more than ten days with Qing Mu.

This time, however, they didn't rush down the Grass Slide; instead, they chose to walk slowly into the distance.

In a high-end restaurant in Heaven Dou City, a handsome middle-aged man dressed in black, who looked to be only in his thirties or forties, sat by the window, his golden eyes occasionally scanning the street below.

"I never expected to see such an interesting scene so soon after I was born."

As Di Tian listened to the undisguised conversation around him, an interesting smile appeared on his lips.
