Haotian Soul Blood

"The situation seemed to have gotten worse. Could it be because I drained all their fate?"

Walking through a city, Tian Hao pondered to himself.

Once he entered the city, he hardly needed to ask around. Everywhere, people were discussing the same matter.

The young master of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Hao, had colluded with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to ambush and kill a Spirit Hall worshipper. Anyone could tell that this was Spirit Hall's doing, meant to target Tang Hao and the Clear Sky Sect.

No one could bear the enormous accusation of colluding with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, not even the two great empires.

This differed somewhat from the original story. It was an unexpected variable.

He just did not know how the battle had unfolded or what its outcome had been.

Without lingering, Tian Hao bought some dry rations and fresh water in the city, then left and continued running in the direction A Lan sensed.

After racing on without sleep or rest for who knew how long, he finally arrived at a stretch of road with a massive crater. The surrounding area was also in utter ruin, as if it had endured a carpet bombing.

"These are traces of a Blue Silver Overlord Spear explosion!"

After examining the craters around him, Tian Hao determined that they were remnants of the Blue Silver Overlord Spear's explosion. This was clearly the site of the first battle.

"There's still quite a lot of Sister Ah Yin's Soul Power lingering nearby. Hurry and absorb it. If you can use it to evolve into a ten-thousand-year Blue Silver Grass, we'll have a better chance of rescuing Sister Ah Yin."

Sensing Ah Yin's Soul Power in the surroundings, Tian Hao hurriedly urged A Lan, who was parasitizing his body, to absorb and refine it.

A Lan indeed sensed the presence of her emperor's Soul Power, and she very much agreed with Tian Hao's reasoning.

She extended her stems and leaves from Tian Hao's collar and absorbed the Soul Power belonging to her emperor from the surroundings, continuing to strengthen the Blue Silver Domain.

However, she herself was too weak to bear her emperor's power, even after fusing with a drop of her emperor's blood.

Back when she had fused with the Blue Silver Overlord Spear, it had been the spear that bore her emperor's domain and Soul Power. Now that the Blue Silver Overlord Spear had shattered, she could not bear much by herself and could only integrate it into the Blue Silver Domain.

Even so, her limited strength meant she still could not integrate much. Not to mention that back at home, she had already recovered nearly a tenth of the Soul Power from the shattered Blue Silver Overlord Spear, and she was already feeling a little overstuffed.

"Try joining forces with me to refine this soul bone without merging it into my body, then guide Sister Ah Yin's Soul Power into it."

Tian Hao took out the Purple Crystal Thorn Emperor Soul Bone spike that Ah Yin had given him when they parted. First, he used a small knife to carve a groove into his sternum, then embedded the Purple Crystal Thorn Emperor Soul Bone spike inside. Relying on his self-healing ability, he let the bone mend over it and seal it completely within.

Although this soul bone was only six years old, it was still a soul bone. Its toughness far exceeded that of himself and A Lan. Moreover, it was also a Plant System soul bone, so it should be able to bear more of Ah Yin's Soul Power.

They could also nourish the soul bone with the Blue Silver Domain and Ah Yin's Soul Power, restoring its vitality.

There was no helping it. He had no idea how many tens of thousands of years ago Ah Yin had acquired that soul bone while she was still a Soul Beast. It was filled with stagnant deathly energy, clearly having been stored for an extremely long time.

His idea proved correct. The Purple Crystal Thorn Emperor spike soul bone could indeed merge well with him and A Lan. It embedded itself in his sternum while also bearing the Blue Silver Domain.

The Purple Crystal Thorn Emperor spike soul bone was too small to store much energy, but it was more than adequate as a temporary vessel for the Blue Silver Domain.

Very soon, all of Ah Yin's Soul Power in the area was absorbed. After all, so much time had passed that it had long since been mostly assimilated by the power of heaven and earth.

Still, what had endured until now was the purest portion of that Soul Power.

While A Lan busied herself absorbing the pure Soul Power Ah Yin had left behind here, Tian Hao was not idle either. He soon found several useful items.

The first was a severed arm that had begun to rot, still wearing a bracer.

He recognized that bracer. It belonged to Tang Hao. It seemed Tang Hao had not escaped unscathed either; at the very least, he had lost an arm.

Furthermore, the upper and lower Arm Bones inside were gone, so they had likely been taken by the enemy.

This was far more miserable than in the original story. It seemed that lower fate truly was a bad thing.

"Looks like Tang Hao got Yang Guo's script. I wonder if he can continue on to Bu Jingyun's script and get himself a Qilin Arm?"

After indulging in random thoughts for a while, Tian Hao did not delay. He infused the severed arm with his Soul Power containing Life Force, eventually extracting a drop of fresh blood from the hand bone. Entering a state of enlightenment, he repeatedly attempted to fuse with the lingering Soul Power within Tang Hao's blood.

Perhaps because of the transformation from his previous dual cultivation with Ah Yin, both his Soul Power and Mental Power had improved considerably.

His Soul Power had already reached the limit of level one and could break through to level two at any time.

His Mental Power had improved the most, making it easier for him to finely control his Soul Power.

After more than a dozen attempts, the remaining Soul Power in that drop of blood was so faint as to be nearly imperceptible, so the resistance he encountered during fusion was not too great. In the end, he succeeded.

Using the fused Soul Power as a guide and Tang Hao's drop of blood as a foundation, he gathered the surrounding Soul Power.

Like Ah Yin's remaining Soul Power, Tang Hao had unleashed a powerful move here.

Though Tang Hao's Soul Power was not as special as Ah Yin's, after being assimilated by the Vital Energy of heaven and earth for so many days, a tiny amount still remained. Though there was only a little, it was exceptionally pure, even qualifying as the source power of the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul.

After all, it was the Soul Power released through the Great Sumeru Hammer.

The lingering threads of black Soul Power were drawn over and gathered, merging into that drop of blood to become Soul Blood. The entire drop was stained black by the black Soul Power.

"Help me store this."

He placed the drop of Haotian Soul Blood on A Lan's leaf for her to keep, then picked up a blackened clump of soil. He had found it inside that massive crater; it was soil fused with blood.

However, the blood on it was unusual. Under the sunlight, it faintly revealed a dark golden sheen.

Clearly, this blood was extraordinary and had to belong to a super powerhouse.

"It looks like a crocodile, so it should be a crocodile-type Martial Soul Avatar. Could it be that one? Was Tang Hao really that unlucky? Still, no wonder he was left with only one arm."

While attempting to fuse with the lingering Soul Power in a small drop of blood separated from the soil clump, Tian Hao examined the crocodile-shaped crater and roughly guessed who Tang Hao and that old woman had fought.

He had heard in the city earlier that Tang Hao had ambushed a Spirit Hall worshipper, but he had not expected it to be that person.

"From the looks of things, that old woman should be fine. She escaped successfully, so you can rest easy for now."

Looking at the Blue Silver Grass extending from his collar, Tian Hao also breathed a sigh of relief.

He had truly feared that the old woman had been captured by Spirit Hall. That would have been troublesome. He would probably have had to bring out the Hundred Great Conjectures to trade with Spirit Hall.

Fortunately, the ninth Soul Ring and Blood Essence Soul Ring he had helped the old woman condense in the end were quite effective. She had actually managed to escape from that big shot.

As for one-armed Tang Hao, what did his life or death have to do with Tian Someone?

By the time night fell, Tian Hao had failed dozens of times before finally managing to fuse with the tiny thread of dark golden Soul Power lingering in that drop of blood. He then used it as a foundation to guide the remaining traces of same-origin Soul Power from the surroundings into the blood, ultimately staining that small drop dark gold.

Without saying anything more, he handed that small drop of Soul Blood to A Lan for storage as well, planning to slowly fuse and refine it once he had time in the future.

That was right. He wanted to use this method to indirectly acquire the special Soul Power of those powerful martial souls. Using that Soul Blood as a foundation and conduit, he could transform his own Soul Power into the other party's special kind of Soul Power.

For example, for martial souls possessing elemental attributes, if he could seal their Soul Blood inside his body, then he could use the Soul Power Fusion Skill to transform his Soul Power into theirs with elemental attributes. This would greatly enhance his combat strength.

"Where did you come from, brat? What are you sneaking around here for?"

Just as Tian Hao was searching the area to see if he had overlooked anything, a sharp feminine shout suddenly came from behind him.

Tian Someone: Why is it that whenever Golden Crocodile Douluo is mentioned, I can't help but think, "North of the Milky Way, Soton is the most beautiful"? If any brothers feel the same way, please recommend and support this. Your support is my greatest motivation.
