Five Hundred Thousand Year Torso Bone

"Yi Yi..." Jing Chen tried to wake Yi Yi, gently patting the little one where it was uninjured.

At Jing Chen's calls, the little one's body began to stir as it slowly woke up.

"Eee..." The little one slowly opened its eyes, but the moment it saw Jing Chen, it perked right up.

The little one chirped and babbled, lightly scratching Jing Chen with its tiny claws, its face full of concern.

Touched by the little one's concern, Jing Chen felt warmth fill his heart. He rubbed its head to show that he was fine.

After soothing the worried little one, Jing Chen asked about the Deep Sea Demon Whale's soul bone.

"Eee! (It's here.)" Yi Yi took out the soul bone and Whale Rubber stored in its belly.

Although they had been stored in its belly, neither item was stained with gastric fluid or anything else. They were perfectly clean.

Through its ingenious use of the Power of Space, Yi Yi's belly was like a storage space capable of holding many things.

The Whale Rubber from this Deep Sea Demon Whale of more than five hundred thousand years was enormous, as large as an elephant. It was enough for Jing Chen to eat for ten days to half a month.

Jing Chen looked at the Whale Rubber with a happy smile. Its value was no less than that of a Hundred Thousand Year soul ring or soul bone.

After eating it, his physical constitution would definitely improve dramatically. Doubling it would not be a problem at all.

After giving it a quick look, Jing Chen began freezing it for storage until he could eat it later.

He had yet to finish the Whale Rubber of more than three hundred thousand years that he had obtained last time. He would wait until he had finished that before eating this.

Whale Rubber was good, but one could not eat too much at once. Otherwise, desire would blaze through the body, making one unbearably uncomfortable.

Eating ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber was manageable, but when eating Whale Rubber at the Hundred Thousand Year level, one truly had to be careful.

Otherwise, one might remain hard for an entire day, and that feeling was anything but pleasant.

Having learned from experience, he no longer dared to eat too much Hundred Thousand Year Whale Rubber at once. He had to control the amount.

After freezing the Whale Rubber and placing it in the Time and Space Divine Tower, Jing Chen began studying the torso bone of more than five hundred thousand years.

That was right, it was a torso bone. This Deep Sea Demon Whale of more than five hundred thousand years had dropped a torso bone.

Among the six soul bone positions, this was the most important. The combination of its position and age made the value of this soul bone impossible to describe.

I've gathered a complete set of Deep Sea Demon Whale soul bones. Jing Chen could not help thinking as he held the deep-blue soul bone shaped like a torso.

Including this one of more than five hundred thousand years, they had killed a total of fourteen Deep Sea Demon Whales at the Hundred Thousand Year level.

Soul beasts of this level were guaranteed to drop soul bones. There were still thirteen Hundred Thousand Year Deep Sea Demon Whale soul bones in the Time and Space Divine Tower.

Among those thirteen soul bones were limb bones and skull bones, but not a single torso bone.

Now that he had obtained this torso bone, he had gathered soul bones for all six parts of the body—a complete set.

Jing Chen was even considering whether he should absorb six Deep Sea Demon Whale soul bones and complete the set.

Whether in terms of age or the quality of the soul beast that produced them, these soul bones could be called top-tier.

If he absorbed all six, their attributes might be somewhat uniform, but the benefits they brought him would definitely not be small.

"There's no need to consider the torso bone any further. At more than five hundred thousand years, it's already at the ceiling level."

"Even Ice Empress's four-hundred-thousand-year torso bone can't compare to this one. There's no need for me to pursue anything better."

"After all, anything better would come from soul beasts at the level of Snow Empress or Di Tian. Hunting them would be far too difficult."

"Besides, even if I hunted them, they might not drop a torso bone. There's no need for that," Jing Chen analyzed in a low voice.

The torso bone was settled. He would absorb this water-attributed Deep Sea Demon Whale torso bone.

"There's no need to hesitate over the right leg bone either. The Deep Sea Demon Whale right leg bone of more than three hundred thousand years is also quite exceptional."

"This Deep Sea Demon Whale skull bone of more than two hundred thousand years is a bit of a pity..." Jing Chen could not help sighing.

If this soul bone of more than two hundred thousand years had not been a skull bone, but something like a right arm bone, then he could have considered absorbing it.

But it happened to be a skull bone. For that position, he had his sights set on the skull bones produced by the Evil Eye Clan.

Evil Eye soul beasts possessed spiritual attributes. Even a Hundred Thousand Year soul bone produced by them would be better than this Deep Sea Demon Whale skull bone of more than two hundred thousand years.

"Is the seventy-thousand-year Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone better, or the Giant Tooth Shark left arm bone of more than two hundred thousand years?"

Jing Chen became conflicted over this question. There was naturally no need to say much about the latter; its age was simply too tempting.

But the former possessed the divine skill Ice Burst, which suited him extremely well and could bring about a minor qualitative leap in his strength.

Though it was only more than seventy thousand years old, in his view, its value was not inferior to that of the Giant Tooth Shark left arm bone of more than two hundred thousand years.

This Ice Burst skill alone was enough to rival two water-attributed Soul Skills at the two-hundred-thousand-year level.

"I've already decided to absorb three water-attributed soul bones. If I absorb a fourth, my attributes will be too heavily skewed."

"I'll choose the Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone instead. This Ice Burst skill really is tempting," Jing Chen decided after deep consideration.

Apart from the five-hundred-thousand-year torso bone and the three-hundred-thousand-year right leg bone, he would also absorb the Hundred Thousand Year Golden Tortoise External Soul Bone. All three soul bones were water-attributed.

"I'll leave the left leg bone and right arm bone undecided for now. I'll see if I can find suitable space- and time-attributed soul bones."

Jing Chen did not intend to absorb any more Hundred Thousand Year Deep Sea Demon Whale soul bones, and he also abandoned his former plan to absorb the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear Right Arm Bone of more than ninety thousand years.

He very much wanted soul bones with the attributes of time and space. He had to leave these two positions open.

Having decided which soul bones to absorb, Jing Chen did not delay any longer. After eating his fill, he began to act.

According to his original plan, he had intended to begin absorbing soul bones after breaking through to Soul Ancestor, as that would make the process easier.

But there was no helping it now. His vitality had been severely depleted, and he needed to recover some of it by absorbing soul bones.

Golden Tortoises were rather special soul beasts—auspicious beasts with abundant vitality.

After absorbing its soul bone, it should grant him several years of lifespan and alleviate his current condition somewhat.

Inside the Time and Space Divine Tower, Jing Chen sat cross-legged and took out the turtle-shell-shaped soul bone, beginning the absorption process.

After eating his fill, he had recovered some of his strength. He was no longer weak all over, as though he had been drained dry.

Now that his body had strength again, absorbing the soul bone went rather smoothly, without any discomfort.

The absorption was relatively easy, perhaps partly because of the Golden Tortoise Soul Ring.

The two came from the same source. When the soul bone sensed the soul ring's energy, it became compatible with it, making the fusion process easier.

Of course, the ease of the process was also related to Jing Chen's physical strength.

Having eaten at least ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber every day, his physical constitution had been enhanced to an almost absurd degree.

His Soul Power was currently at level thirty-eight, but his actual physical strength was likely no weaker than a Soul Emperor's.

His powerful body allowed him to withstand greater power, so naturally, absorbing soul bones was relatively easy.

Just as Jing Chen had expected, absorbing the Golden Tortoise soul bone could bring him vitality.

During the process of absorbing the soul bone, he could clearly feel his body regaining its vigor.
