Life Domain, World-Famous Painting: Xiao Wu Arrives

At the same time.

Another part of the forest.

Lin Qingmo sat cross-legged on the open ground, surrounded by emerald-colored light.

The light was soft, like tender buds sprouting in early spring, brimming with vitality.

Eight spider legs slowly unfolded from his back.

Each one is crystal clear, as if carved from the finest jade.

Golden patterns flowed across the surface of the spider's legs, and those patterns seemed to be alive, alternating in brightness with his breath.

The spider's legs swayed gently, creating a faint rustling sound.

"It's done..."

Lin Qingmo opened her eyes, a glint of emerald light flashing in them.

He felt the blood connection between the eight spider legs on his back, and his heart pounded.

This thing is way cooler than Tang San's dark Eight Spider Lances in the original novel.

The key is that the effect is phenomenal.

External Soul Bone: Emerald Eight Spider Lances – a name he personally gave to these Eight Spider Lances that had successfully fused with the Life Gold.

As External Soul Bone, the Emerald Eight Spider Lances have four effects.

First: Strengthen.

All attributes increased by 100%.

Note that it's about strengthening and enhancing, not increasing.

This directly elevates his basic qualities, essentially doubling his foundation.

From now on, any amplification-type Soul Skill applied to him will have its effect calculated based on the doubled base value.

Second: Learn from it.

It can actively extract the target's Soul Power and life force.

This is similar to the original Eight Spider Lances; it's considered a retained project.

However, combined with his life attribute, the effect would likely be even more abnormal.

After all, Soul Master with the life attribute have a natural advantage in manipulating life force.

Third: Sensational purification.

That's impressive.

It can detect and purify toxins, mental pollution, evil forces, and various negative states.

This means the purifying effect of the Life Gold has been inherited and even upgraded.

As for the fourth effect...

Lin Qingmo composed herself, unable to hide her joy.

"Domain! Life Domain!"

Once expanded, all life energy and other types of energy within the domain can be converted into each other.

This thing sounds a bit abstract, but if you think about it carefully, it's practically a bug.

For example, fire-elemental energy can be converted into life energy to heal injuries.

Or conversely, convert life energy into lightning-type energy to bombard people.

Of course, there will be losses during the conversion.

Even so, the strategic value of this field is frighteningly high.

What surprised him even more was the opening up of his Sea of Consciousness.

Now, his mind is filled with a boundless ocean of silver spiritual energy.

A terrifying spiritual force lies hidden beneath the calm surface of the water.

He can now clearly perceive everything around him, even the slightest movement, and can see the veins on the leaves clearly.

"What a pity."

Lin Qingmo a little regretful.

"Martial Soul has no Mental Attribute, nor does it have Head Soul Bone; all this spiritual power can only be used as a radar."

If only we could unleash a mental shock or something, that would be so awesome.

With a thought, the Emerald Eight Spider Lances on his back slowly retracted into his body.

"Sizzle--"

The sound of tearing fabric rang out, and a chill ran down my spine.

Lin Qingmo was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and saw that there was a large tear in the back of his shirt, and a cold wind was blowing in.

"Your External Soul Bone hasn't fully fused yet, so it's normal for your clothes to tear when you summon it."

Bibi Dong's voice came from the side.

She had somehow walked up to Lin Qingmo, her Purple Eyes calmly looking at him.

"I'll help you fully integrate it, and it won't happen again."

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended.

It felt like being suddenly thrown into the deep sea, surrounded by immense pressure from all sides.

The air became thick, making it difficult to breathe. Lin Qingmo gritted his teeth and used all his Soul Power to resist.

The Emerald Eight Spider Lances popped out automatically, radiating a brilliant emerald light.

Under the pressure of the Titled Douluo, the connection between the spider legs and his body began to heat up.

The heat spread from the spine, penetrating every inch of bone and every strand of flesh.

The connections are deepening and becoming increasingly close.

It was as if those eight spider legs were an integral part of his body.

The pressure is still mounting.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Lin Qingmo's forehead.

He felt like he was carrying a mountain; his knees were trembling and his spine was groaning.

Consciousness began to fade.

My eyelids are getting heavier and heavier.

A black border appeared at the edge of my field of vision, and that black border quickly spread towards the center.

Finally, they were plunged into utter darkness.

The oppressive aura slowly dissipated.

Bibi Dong stood in front of Lin Qingmo, holding him, and gazed at his unconscious face with adoration.

The fusion had actually been completed long ago; she deliberately made him fall into a coma.

She crouched down and gently brushed her fingertips across Lin Qingmo's cheek.

The boy's skin was warm, with a faint blush from the exertion he had just experienced.

Her fingers were cold.

The two of them trembled slightly at the moment of contact.

Bibi Dong's expression changed.

Those emotions that were usually suppressed by reason and authority surged out like a flood breaking through a dam.

Deep within her Purple Eyes surged a mixture of infatuation, longing, and an almost pathological possessiveness.

She looked at Lin Qingmo's chest.

The lines are smooth, and the muscles are well-proportioned.

The skin, fused with the Emerald Eight Spider Lances, shimmered with a faint emerald luster, like the finest jade.

And that aura.

A refreshing, clean breath of life, mixed with the unique sunshine of youth.

For someone like her who had struggled in the darkness for too long, this scent held a fatal attraction.

"!!!"

Bibi Dong's heart was beating faster and faster, so fast that she could hear the thumping sound herself.

Reason screamed at her, reminding her that this was wrong.

She is the Pope, the ruler of the Spirit Hall, and should not treat A-Qing like this.

But emotions never follow reason.

She couldn't help but lean down, getting closer and closer.

Cool lips pressed against the boy's forehead, a very light kiss like a feather brushing against him.

"A-Qing..."

Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible.

"I'm sorry, just for a little while... just for a little while..."

"Faster!"

Xiao Wu ran incredibly fast.

Her long hair stretched behind her, forming a blurry shadow, and her feet rustled rapidly on the fallen leaves.

She was extremely panicked.

An ominous premonition gripped her heart like an invisible hand.

The further out you run, the faster your heart beats.

I have a feeling something bad is going to happen.

"Could A-Qing really have gone to find Er Ming? What if he encounters some danger? What if he can't win?"

Most importantly, there was no response when I asked in the Chat Group.

Xiao Wu dared not think any further and could only desperately speed up, hoping to return to A-Qing's side as soon as possible.

Not long after.

"Um?"

As Xiao Wu ran, she heard some noises as she passed through an area.

It was a very soft sound, drifting from the depths of the dense forest on the left.

Xiao Wu suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"Is anyone there?"

This place is already close to the Core Area; ordinary Soul Master wouldn't dare to come in.

Who is it?

"Could it be A-Qing and the others?"

She held her breath and quickly crept towards the direction of the sound.

Closer and closer, it's just ahead!

Xiao Wu pushed aside the last clump of bushes.

Then, she saw a scene that left her mind blank.

It felt like all the blood in my body had frozen.

A-Qing, whom I had been longing for, was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, as if he were asleep.

And a figure dressed in a wide black robe was in the same spot as A-Qing.

Even the naive Xiao Wu could understand what was happening.

"A-Qing --!!!"
