Five Hundred Thousand Year Torso Bone

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

As Jing Chen called out, the little one's body began to stir, and it slowly woke up.

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

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

Jing Chen's heart warmed at the little one's concern. He rubbed its head, reassuring it that he was fine.

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

"Yiyi." Yi Yi took out the spirit bone and Whale Rubber it had stored in its belly.

Though they had been stored in its belly, neither item had come into contact with stomach acid or anything of the sort. They were perfectly clean.

Through clever use of the Power of Space, Yi Yi's stomach was like a storage space that could hold many things.

The Whale Rubber from this Deep Sea Demon Whale that was over five hundred thousand years old was enormous, as large as an elephant. It was enough to last Jing Chen ten days to half a month.

Jing Chen looked at the Whale Rubber, a delighted smile appearing on his face. Its value was no less than that of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring or spirit bone.

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

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

He had not even finished the Whale Rubber from the Deep Sea Demon Whale that was over three hundred thousand years old. He would wait until he finished that before eating this.

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

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

Otherwise, one might stay hard all day long. That feeling was anything but pleasant.

Having learned his lesson, 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 that was over five hundred thousand years old.

That was right, it was a torso bone. This Deep Sea Demon Whale that was over five hundred thousand years old had dropped a torso bone.

Among the six spirit bone slots, this was the most important one. With both its location and age taken into account, the value of this spirit bone was beyond description.

I've already gathered a complete set of Deep Sea Demon Whale spirit bones. Jing Chen thought as he held the dark blue spirit bone shaped like a torso.

Including this one that was over five hundred thousand years old, they had killed fourteen Deep Sea Demon Whales at the Hundred Thousand Year level.

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

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

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

Jing Chen even considered whether he should absorb six Deep Sea Demon Whale spirit bones and complete the set.

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

Absorbing six such spirit bones would make his attributes somewhat one-sided, but the benefits they brought him would definitely not be small.

"There's no need to consider another torso bone. At over five hundred thousand years, this one is already at the ceiling."

"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 like Snow Empress or Di Tian. Hunting them would be far too difficult."

"Besides, even if I killed them, there's no guarantee they'd drop a torso bone. There's no need for it," Jing Chen analyzed quietly.

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

"There's no need to deliberate over the right leg bone either. The Deep Sea Demon Whale Right Leg Bone that's over three hundred thousand years old is also quite exceptional."

"It's a shame that this Deep Sea Demon Whale skull bone is over two hundred thousand years old..." Jing Chen could not help sighing.

If this spirit bone that was over two hundred thousand years old had not been a skull bone, but something like a right arm bone, then he could consider absorbing it.

But it had to be a skull bone. For that slot, he had his eye on the skull bones produced by the Evil Eye Clan.

Evil Eye Soul Beasts had spiritual attributes. Even a Hundred Thousand Year spirit bone produced by them would be better than this Deep Sea Demon Whale skull bone that was over two hundred thousand years old.

"Is the seventy-thousand-year Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone better, or the Giant Tooth Shark Left Arm Bone that's over two hundred thousand years old?"

Jing Chen found himself conflicted over this question. The latter needed no explanation; 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 change in his strength.

Though it was only a little over seventy thousand years old, he believed its value was not inferior in the slightest to the Giant Tooth Shark Left Arm Bone that was over two hundred thousand years old.

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

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

"I'll choose the Ice Jade Scorpion Left Arm Bone. 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 spirit bones were water-attribute.

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

Jing Chen did not intend to absorb any more Hundred Thousand Year Deep Sea Demon Whale spirit bones, and he had also abandoned his earlier plan to absorb the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear Right Arm Bone that was over ninety thousand years old.

He very much wanted spirit bones with the attributes of time and space. He had to leave those two slots open.

After deciding which spirit bones to absorb, Jing Chen did not delay any longer. After eating his fill, he began acting.

According to his original plan, he had intended to begin absorbing spirit bones after breaking through to Soul Ancestor, since it would be easier then.

But he had no choice now. His vitality had been seriously depleted, and he needed to recover some of it by absorbing spirit bones.

Soul Beasts like the Golden Tortoise were rather special. As auspicious beasts, they possessed abundant vitality.

After absorbing its spirit 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. He took out the turtle-shell-shaped spirit bone and began absorbing it.

After eating his fill, he had regained some strength. He no longer felt weak all over, as though he had been completely drained.

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

The relatively easy absorption might also have had something to do with the Golden Tortoise Soul Ring.

The two came from the same source. Upon sensing the Soul Ring's energy, the spirit bone resonated 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 Whale Rubber that was at least ten thousand years old every day, his physique had been strengthened to an almost absurd degree.

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

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

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

During the absorption process, he could clearly feel his body regaining its vitality.
