When Gu Qingshan saw the Sky Azure Bull Python again, it was already on the verge of death; upon learning that the Titan Giant Ape had perished, it let out a mournful cry.
Bibi Dong ended the Sky Azure Bull Python's hundred-thousand-year life with a single sword strike, then handed the dropped spirit bone to Gu Qingshan.
She took a deep breath, walked over to the side of Da Ming's spirit ring, sat cross-legged, and raised her right hand to touch the blood-red hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.
The Sky Azure Bull Python's spirit ring was far more violent than the Titan Giant Ape's, with negative impacts of cruelty and resentment several times stronger.
However, none of this could hinder Bibi Dong.
Two days later, Bibi Dong opened her eyes, her aura having become profound and unfathomable.
Level ninety-nine, Title Douluo!
After absorbing two consecutive hundred-thousand-year spirit rings, Bibi Dong had finally ascended to the rank of Limit Douluo.
Bibi Dong stood up from the ground and looked at her own hands.
They were the same hands—slender, fair, and delicate—but they now possessed a power she had never felt before.
Bibi Dong looked at Gu Qingshan nearby, the corners of her mouth curving upward.
Her first martial soul, the Death Spider Emperor, had only possessed one hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, which had belonged to Xiao Wu's mother.
In the decades that followed, she had never obtained a second one.
Coming out on this trip, she had suddenly obtained two hundred-thousand-year spirit rings, elevating her to a Limit Douluo.
Qingshan truly was a lucky star!
"Qingshan."
"Hmm?"
"Thank you."
Bibi Dong walked over, crouched down in front of Gu Qingshan, reached out, and wiped a stray piece of Blue Silver Leaf from the corner of his mouth.
"Let's go, it's time to head back."
By the time they returned to Martial Soul City, it was already the evening of the next day.
Gu Qingshan walked into the courtyard, passed through the patch of Blue Silver Grass that rustled in the evening breeze like a blue ocean, pushed open the bedroom door, and closed it behind him.
He took the two spirit bones from his embrace.
One was a left arm bone from the Titan Giant Ape; it was a size larger than an adult's arm bone, its surface covered in a layer of dark red luster.
The other was a skull spirit bone from the Sky Azure Bull Python, shaped like an irregular, multi-faceted crown. The surface of the bone was crystal clear, and through the translucent walls, one could see fine, blood vessel-like patterns within.
After adjusting his state, Gu Qingshan took a deep breath and pressed the skull spirit bone against his forehead.
The moment the spirit bone touched his forehead, a cool sensation like mountain spring water surged from the contact point into his brow.
A blue halo lit up from his brow, and gradually, his entire head was shrouded in a cyan-blue glow.
Energy began to pour in, gradually intensifying.
An hour later, the spirit bone fusion was complete, and his health bar reached eighty thousand.
At the same time, he gained two spirit bone skills.
Azure Slowing Divine Claw can condense a massive energy claw; while dealing physical damage to enemies, it imposes a powerful slowing effect, trapping opponents in a sluggish state. This is a skill that combines heavy offense, crowd control, and debuffing.
Azure Annihilation Divine Thunder can release cyan divine thunder of terrifying power over a massive area.
Gu Qingshan stood up and moved his head.
The fusion of the skull spirit bone brought him no discomfort; instead, he had the illusion that his head felt "lighter."
It hadn't actually become lighter, but his mental power had increased, causing his brain to process information faster.
It was like his brain had previously been an old computer that took forever to open a program.
Now, his brain was like a new computer, where everything opened in an instant.
Next, he fused the second spirit bone without delay.
The moment the left arm bone touched his left arm, dark red light exploded from the point of contact.
His left arm became transparent in the light, revealing the bones beneath the skin.
The spirit bone energy began to infuse, and a layer of dark red luster appeared on the surface of his bones, identical to the sheen on the spirit bone itself.
In less than an hour, the Titan Giant Ape left arm bone was successfully fused, and his health bar reached ninety thousand.
He similarly gained two spirit bone skills.
Gravity Swamp creates a high-gravity field in a designated area to restrict the movement and speed of enemies.
Titan Firmament Breaker is a super-strong, long-range single-target attack skill; the power is condensed into a single point, and its destructive force is terrifying, comparable to a Title Douluo's ninth spirit skill.
Titan Firmament Breaker and Azure Annihilation Divine Thunder compensated for his shortcomings.
He had always lacked active offensive means; although Shield Slam was an active attack skill, its damage output was truly lackluster.
Heroic Leap was primarily for displacement and crowd control, with negligible damage.
With two new powerful offensive skills added, his combat capability would become even stronger and more flexible.
While the strength of Gu Qingshan and his disciple surged, Tang San and his father on the other side had also gained significant improvements.
Inside a secret chamber of the King of Slaughter Mansion in the City of Slaughter.
Tang Hao knelt before a stone platform, his eyes blood-red.
Compared to two months ago, his aura had changed; it had become violent, evil, and more overbearing, as if something had awakened within his body.
Under the infusion of the vast slaughter energy within the City of Slaughter, his Soul Power Level had risen from level 95 to level 97.
He was countless times stronger than he had been two months ago.
He had become the new King of Slaughter.
"Gu Qingshan." He whispered these three words, each one carrying a bone-deep, marrow-seeping hatred.
"Just you wait."
Tang San stood at the entrance of the secret chamber, watching his father's blood-red eyes, his own expression gradually twisting.
Tang Hao turned around to look at his son.
That once upright and well-behaved son now stood at the entrance of the secret chamber, covered in blood; his black robe was soaked through, blood droplets splattered his face, and streaks of blood stained his hair.
His eyes were dark red, with a thin mist of blood swirling within his pupils.
Behind him, dark red Soul-Devouring Blue Silver Grass, carrying the aura of death, spread silently across the floor.
Tang Hao looked at that patch of dark red Soul-Devouring Blue Silver Grass, at those leaves that glowed faintly in the darkness like scales, and at the female corpse entangled in the roots. His eyes widened for a moment before returning to calm.
Ever since he became a eunuch, Tang San's personality seemed to have undergone a heaven-shaking transformation, his heart becoming increasingly twisted and perverted.
The current Tang San would fly into a rage at the slightest provocation, often taking pleasure in brutal slaughter, even laughing maniacally while he killed, which was chilling to behold.
This was already the tenth maid to meet a tragic end this month.
But they were mere maids; if they died, he could just find more, as there were plenty in the City of Slaughter.
Tang Hao did not stop Tang San's evil deeds; venting was better than bottling it up inside.
Furthermore, Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor had mutated. Under the erosion of the slaughter energy in the City of Slaughter, amidst Tang San's frenzied killing, and watered by the hatred and despair in his heart, it had mutated into the Soul-Devouring Blue Silver Grass.
Even his Soul Power Level had reached an exaggerated level 40.
Rising from level 32 to level 40 in just two short months, the speed was only slightly slower than a certain cheater.
