Third Soul Skill, Death Scythe

Regarding the topic of domains, Qian Daoliu did not chat too much with Luo Chen. After a brief explanation of their nature, he told him that the specific effects would depend on what Luo Chen awakened, and that it was best to let nature take its course.

Luo Chen naturally agreed with pleasure.

The small interlude ended quickly, and Luo Chen began to select his third soul ring once again.

In the end, he stopped in front of the third iron cage.

The Bone-Eroding Demon Spider was the largest, highest-cultivation, and most dangerous existence among the three soul beasts.

"Grandfather, Grandfather Guang Ling, I choose this Bone-Eroding Demon Spider."

After a moment of hesitation, Luo Chen turned to face Qian Daoliu and Guang Ling.

The cultivation of this Bone-Eroding Demon Spider was approximately 6,800 years, nearing the 7,000-year mark.

Yet, Luo Chen still possessed considerable confidence in his ability to absorb it.

After all, he had not been staying in Martial Soul Hall for nothing during this time.

Aside from the innate suppression his Death Spider Emperor exerted over similar soul beasts, ever since arriving at Martial Soul Hall, Qian Daoliu had prepared a medicinal bath filled with precious herbs for him every single day to strengthen his body and physique.

Not only that, but his daily meals now consisted of cooked meat from soul beasts over a thousand years old.

It could be said that after this period of transformation, his physique was no longer what it once was.

Coupled with his own martial soul, Luo Chen was confident he could take down this Bone-Eroding Demon Spider.

The two Douluo looked at each other and both agreed.

After all, they had been prepared to let Luo Chen absorb this soul beast the moment they captured it. Moreover, with them present, if anything went wrong during the absorption process, they could intervene and save him at the first opportunity.

Therefore, after Luo Chen made his decision, Qian Daoliu merely glanced at the Bone-Eroding Demon Spider still hissing in the iron cage, and released the pressure of a level 99 Limit Douluo.

"BANG!!"

Accompanied by a loud crash, the moment it came into contact with the pressure, the Bone-Eroding Demon Spider, which had been full of vigor just a moment ago, was pinned firmly to the metal floor of the cage by the powerful soul power, unable to move.

Seeing this, Guang Ling Douluo gently raised his hand, retracting the iron cage and exposing the now helpless Bone-Eroding Demon Spider to Luo Chen without any obstruction.

"Many thanks, Grandfathers."

After thanking them again, Luo Chen did not hesitate further; he turned and released his Death Spider Emperor martial soul.

"CRACK!"

A black spider leg pierced the most vulnerable part of the Bone-Eroding Demon Spider's abdomen in one strike, killing it instantly.

A deep purple soul ring rose from the still-warm corpse. After greeting the two Douluo, Luo Chen sat cross-legged and began the absorption.

"Big Brother, do you think Chen'er can do it?"

Watching Luo Chen begin to absorb the soul ring, Guang Ling Douluo could not help but feel a bit worried.

But Qian Daoliu only nodded gently.

"Believe in him; he will definitely succeed."

Chen'er is, after all, the one chosen by the Angel God.

Qian Daoliu said this sentence in his heart.

Time passed slowly, and this time, Luo Chen's absorption process lasted longer than the previous two combined.

It was not until the early morning of the third day that Luo Chen, his forehead covered in a light sheen of sweat, suddenly opened his eyes.

A flash of purple light darted across his pupils, followed by an aura even colder and more sinister than when the three soul beasts were present, sweeping across the entire area for several meters around him.

Nearby, the ever-watchful Qian Daoliu and Guang Ling Douluo were instantly alerted, and the two arrived at Luo Chen's side in the blink of an eye.

They saw that Luo Chen had already completed the absorption, and the third deep purple soul ring was steadily settled beneath his feet.

"Chen'er, show us your third soul skill."

"A third soul ring from a 6,800-year-old soul beast of the same species should provide you with a decent soul skill."

Qian Daoliu said with a smile; he knew that as the one chosen by the Angel God, Luo Chen would certainly succeed.

Luo Chen, having just finished absorbing the ring, nodded happily when faced with Qian Daoliu's words and the expectant gaze of Guang Ling Douluo.

"Alright, Grandfathers, watch closely."

Luo Chen's lips curled upward as he confidently walked to an open space and slowly raised his right hand.

"Third Soul Skill, Death Scythe!"

As the words fell, the deep purple thousand-year soul ring at Luo Chen's feet suddenly shone with a blinding radiance.

A purple-black phantom was gripped in Luo Chen's palm, eventually condensing into a tangible purple-black scythe.

The scythe exuded a thick aura of death and erosion, even colder and more ruthless than the aura of Luo Chen's Death Spider Emperor itself.

Unlike the Holy Sword previously condensed by the Six-Winged Angel, which purely consumed a massive amount of soul power, the third soul skill summoned by Luo Chen's Death Spider Emperor was a weapon with physical form.

Unless Luo Chen actively retracted it or it was shattered by a more powerful force, it would never disappear, nor did it require soul power to maintain.

Moreover, the weapon itself was exceptionally powerful; even a higher-level Soul Ancestor would not dare to touch the death energy and corrosive venom upon it.

"As expected of a 6,800-year Bone-Eroding Demon Spider; it has provided you with a truly excellent soul skill, Chen'er."

Guang Ling Douluo couldn't help but applaud, as in his eyes, this was an incredibly practical soul skill.

Furthermore, it would only grow more powerful in the later stages; after all, in a battle between soul masters, the difference between being armed and fighting bare-handed is immense.

Not to mention that Luo Chen's Death Scythe was far from ordinary, which could be said to have greatly enhanced his practical combat capabilities.

Qian Daoliu held the same view, likewise believing that Luo Chen had obtained a highly compatible third soul ring.

Luo Chen thought the same.

After the two Douluos briefly tested Luo Chen's Death Scythe, they reached a unanimous conclusion.

With Luo Chen's current cultivation as a Soul Elder, no one below the level of a Soul King would dare to take a direct hit from this weapon, and as his level increased, the weapon would only grow stronger alongside him.

Afterward, Guang Ling Douluo departed, while Luo Chen returned to the Worship Hall with Qian Daoliu.

Having just absorbed his soul ring, Luo Chen's soul power had reached level 32, and he now needed to properly stabilize his cultivation.

The only difference this time was that Luo Chen moved his training location from his room to the main hall of the Worship Hall, right beside Qian Daoliu.

On one hand, Qian Daoliu could provide him with excellent guidance, and on the other, it was a matter of the domain; if it were to suddenly awaken, Qian Daoliu could immediately teach Luo Chen how to master it.

In truth, there was a deeper reason: Qian Daoliu feared that Luo Chen's Death Domain might attract the attention of the other possessor of the Death Spider Emperor martial soul within Martial Soul Hall.

As of now, Qian Daoliu had no intention of telling Bibi Dong about Luo Chen's existence.

After all, with the precedent of Qian Renxue, he could not gauge Bibi Dong's attitude.

Had it been before, he might have let it be, but now that Luo Chen was the one chosen by the Angel God, he would not allow any factors detrimental to Luo Chen to emerge.
