Sacrifice, an External Soul Bone! Four Great Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skills! (6k words)
The Radiant Dragon King hovered in mid-air, radiating brilliant golden light. The next moment, it opened its enormous maw, and a dense, Ultimate Light Power rapidly gathered within it.
Roar!
A thick, Golden Dragon Breath suddenly erupted, carrying terrifying energy, and blasted directly towards the Golden Hawksbill Turtle below.
The Golden Hawksbill Turtle showed no panic. It retracted its limbs into its shell, and a layer of light quickly appeared on its golden Turtle Shell, forming a Golden Barrier that completely enveloped its body.
"Invincible Barrier!"
Boom!
The Golden Dragon Breath slammed into the Invincible Barrier, unleashing a deafening roar, and a dazzling power of light spread outwards.
However, even after the power of the Radiant Dragon Breath completely dissipated, the Golden Barrier still steadily enveloped the Golden Hawksbill Turtle, showing no signs of breaking.
Not a single piece of the Golden Hawksbill Turtle Shell off.
It stretched out its head, looking smugly at the Radiant Dragon King in mid-air, and couldn't help but let out a strange laugh.
"Hey-hey!"
"Is that all the power you've got? This power isn't even as strong as the explosion of those two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!"
The Golden Hawksbill Turtle spoke with great pride, as if the Radiant Dragon Breath from just now posed no threat to it whatsoever.
Qian Daoliu's eyes flashed with surprise upon seeing this.
"What powerful defensive capabilities!"
He knew very well how terrifying the Ultimate Light Attribute of the Radiant Dragon King was; even a normal Radiant Dragon Breath was not something that ordinary soul beasts could easily withstand.
Moreover, Yu Changge's Radiant Dragon King itself possesses Ultimate Attribute, and the power of this Dragon Breath far exceeds the range that ordinary soul beasts can withstand.
Yet the Golden Hawksbill Turtle was able to block it without a scratch, which is enough to demonstrate how powerful its innate ability is.
Golden Crocodile couldn't help but nod. "Yes!"
"Given the Radiant Dragon King's current Ultimate Attribute, even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast of the same level, if it were to withstand this attack head-on, would likely be unable to escape unscathed like this Golden Hawksbill Turtle."
Looking at the Golden Crocodile Golden Hawksbill Turtle's gleaming Turtle Shell, Golden Crocodile couldn't help but add, "I feel that at the same level, this guy's defensive capabilities might even surpass mine."
At this point, Golden Crocodile smiled again.
"However, it is, after all, a tortoise, so its attack capability is probably close to zero."
Upon hearing this, the Golden Hawksbill Turtle immediately poked its head out and glared indignantly at the Golden Crocodile.
What does it mean for attack capability to approach zero?
"I disdain to launch an attack. Don't you know what it means to win people over with virtue?"
The Golden Crocodile was immediately amused.
Winning people over with virtue?
That old tortoise certainly has a way with words.
Qian Daoliu ignored the Golden Hawksbill Turtle's antics and said thoughtfully, "I think I understand why Changge chose it."
"His Body Martial Soul now possesses both offensive and control Soul Skill Soul Skill, but it still lacks a powerful defensive Soul Skill."
"This Golden Hawksbill Turtle's innate abilities are clearly very suitable for you, much more so than the Titan Giant Ape we discovered before."
Yu Changge looked down at the Golden Hawksbill Turtle and said with a smile, "This is just the First Soul Skill."
"If you can't even withstand the Radiant Dragon King's First Soul Skill, then I don't want your Soul Ring and Spirit Bone anymore."
Upon hearing this, the Golden Hawksbill Turtle was stunned.
Huh?
Should I have pretended I couldn't block it?
If I had deliberately let that Dragon Breath injure me, would I have avoided the attacks that followed?
The Golden Hawksbill Turtle felt increasingly regretful. Had it known that Yu Changge was so easy to talk to, it should have acted a little weaker earlier.
Looking at the frustrated expression on the Golden Hawksbill Turtle's face, Yu Changge could easily guess what it was thinking, but he just smiled and didn't expose it.
He was well aware of just how effective the Golden Hawksbill Turtle's defenses were.
That Radiant Dragon Breath just now was merely a test.
The real test is yet to come.
The next moment, Yu Changge's Seventh Soul Ring suddenly lit up.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Sacred Dragon Aspect!"
Boom!
An even more terrifying power erupted from the Radiant Dragon King's body in an instant, making his already enormous dragon form even larger!
A dazzling golden light surged wildly, its Ultimate Light Attribute continuously rising, and a terrifying aura directly enveloped the Golden Hawksbill Turtle.
All attributes increased by 400%!
This is not over yet.
Yu Changge's Second Soul Ring lit up immediately, and a dense golden light once again surged from the body of the Radiant Dragon King.
"Second Soul Skill, Holy Dragon Radiance!"
The Radiant Dragon King's Toughness, attack power, and defense power are all increased by 100% at the same time, and the power of all Light Attribute Soul Skill is also directly increased by 100% at this moment.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Changge's fifth Soul Ring also lit up.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Soul of the Sacred Dragon!"
Boom!
Another terrifying power merged into the Radiant Dragon King's body, increasing all his attributes by another 200%.
With the release of three Soul Skill in succession, the aura of the Radiant Dragon King surged several times over, and even the golden light on its body became more dazzling.
The smile on the Golden Hawksbill Turtle's face gradually disappeared.
It had initially thought it could easily withstand the attack of the Radiant Dragon King, but now, sensing the increasingly powerful aura, it finally realized that it had underestimated Yu Changge.
What incredible power!
Golden Hawksbill Turtle couldn't help but swallow, and began to take things seriously.
If the next attack is on a completely different level from the previous Dragon Breath, then it certainly cannot deal with it as casually as before.
The next moment, Yu Changge's Sixth Soul Ring lit up.
Sixth Soul Skill, Sacred Dragon Crystal Tail Slash!
Buzz!
Suddenly, the dragon tail behind the Radiant Dragon King condensed into a dazzling golden light, and the terrifying power of light was continuously compressed, eventually transforming into an incomparably sharp golden slash.
Swish!
The golden slash descended directly, striking the Golden Hawksbill Turtle's Invincible Barrier with tremendous force.
Boom!
The Golden Hawksbill Turtle no longer dared to be as arrogant as before, and its Soul Power surged out wildly, continuously pouring into the Invincible Barrier.
The Golden Barrier immediately became thicker and heavier, even forming a golden film that looked almost tangible on its surface.
However, the instant the Sacred Dragon Crystal Tail Slash the protective shield, something quite unexpected happened to the Golden Hawksbill Turtle.
The slash actually pierced through the physical defenses of the Invincible Barrier and continued to penetrate deeper into the shield.
"What?"
The Golden Hawksbill Turtle's eyes widened instantly.
It could clearly sense that the Sacred Dragon Crystal Tail Slash possessed extremely strong Armor-Penetrating Ability, even ignoring the physical defense of the Invincible Barrier.
Fortunately, the Invincible Barrier is not just a simple physical defense skill.
It also possesses powerful energy defense capabilities; only when the intensity of the attack truly exceeds the shield's tolerance limit can it be completely broken.
Even if the opponent's Soul Skill has a defense-breaking effect, as long as the shield itself is strong enough, it can still block the attack.
The Golden Hawksbill Turtle dared not be careless any longer, and its Soul Power was consumed rapidly, finally managing to completely block the power of the Sacred Dragon Crystal Tail Slash.
However, the Invincible Barrier in front of it remained unbroken.
Yu Changge's eyes flashed with surprise when she saw this.
"It seems I underestimated your defensive capabilities."
"A normal Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would be severely injured or on the verge of death if it took that attack head-on, even if it didn't die. Yet your protective shield hasn't broken."
Yu Changge paused for a moment, then a smile returned to her lips.
"How many more times can you block it?"
Upon hearing this, the Golden Hawksbill Turtle was speechless.
It wanted to answer that it could block many more times, but feeling that nearly half of its Soul Power had been consumed, it simply couldn't say such a thing.
Although that attack didn't actually break through the Invincible Barrier, it cost it a considerable price.
More importantly, Yu Changge has not yet used her strongest attack.
If they continue playing like this, they might not be able to hold out until the end.
Just then, Yu Changge finally became serious, and the red Soul Ring beneath him suddenly lit up.
"Eighth Soul Skill, Dragon King Sky-Rending Slash!"
Boom!
Before the Radiant Dragon King, a massive golden dragon blade rapidly materialized.
The dragon blade was tens of meters long, formed entirely from the Ultimate Light Attribute, and its extremely sharp edges even caused subtle distortions in the surrounding space.
The next moment, the enormous golden dragon blade suddenly slashed down.
This attack not only possesses extremely terrifying physical destructive power, but also has a powerful energy Armor-Penetrating Ability, and can even shatter space, forming a temporary spatial rift.
The Golden Hawksbill Turtle's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when it saw this.
It originally thought that it only needed to hold out for a while to witness Yu Changge's full strength.
But now, it realizes that the human in front of it is far more terrifying than it had imagined.
Especially that golden dragon blade; just by looking at its aura, you could tell that it was an attack that his current remaining Soul Power could not easily withstand.
If it were to take this attack head-on, its Invincible Barrier would likely be completely shattered.
Thinking of this, the Golden Hawksbill Turtle finally couldn't help but shout.
"Wait! Wait!"
"I give up! Don't fall behind!"
Seeing the anxious look on the Golden Hawksbill Turtle's face, Yu Changge laughed instead.
"That won't do."
"What if my attack fails to break through your defenses, and then you decide you're unwilling to sacrifice yourself to me?"
The Golden Hawksbill Turtle immediately became anxious.
"Alright, alright! I'll make the sacrifice!"
"I'm offering myself as a sacrifice! What's the rush!"
It was completely convinced; if Yu Changge were to deliver that final blow, it would likely perish here.
Anyway, I made this request in the first place just to see Yu Changge's strength.
Now that we've seen it, what's the point of fighting?
Moreover, according to the agreement we just made, as long as it is willing to sacrifice itself, Yu Changge will give it a chance to be resurrected in the future.
The next moment, a dazzling red light suddenly spread out from the Golden Hawksbill Turtle's body.
That red light was not ordinary Soul Power, but an extremely special Sacrifice Power, containing the life essence accumulated by the Golden Hawksbill Turtle for 100,000 years.
At the same time, a powerful Magnetic Field instantly formed, centered on the Golden Hawksbill Turtle, directly enveloping Yu Changge.
Boom!
The terrifying sacrificial energy continued to spread, directly repelling Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile, and the other Titled Douluo in the vicinity, making it impossible for them to get any closer.
The Golden Hawksbill Turtle finally made its choice, handing over its 100,000-year power, Soul Ring, and Spirit Bone to Yu Changge.
Feeling the red light surging around her, Yu Changge suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly said, "That's right!"
"Don't you possess the Power of Auspiciousness?"
"Try it later and see if you can control the location where the Spirit Bone is produced. If you can make it External Soul Bone, that would be best."
Yu Changge paused for a moment, then continued, "If it's just an ordinary one of the six major Spirit Bone, then I don't plan to absorb it."
"In that case, it might be a little more difficult for you to be resurrected in the future."
Golden Hawksbill Turtle: "..."
It was speechless. "Damn it! Why didn't you say so sooner!"
"I've already started the sacrifice, and you're only telling me this now?"
Yu Changge smiled faintly and said, "It's not too late to say now."
"If you can truly produce External Soul Bone, then your cultivation level will increase along with my strength."
"This is also quite beneficial for you."
The Golden Hawksbill Turtle remained silent for a moment, then finally gritted its teeth.
I can only give it a try!
"Those who can still control their Spirit Bone after a sacrifice generally need to reach the cultivation level of Ferocious Beast to even have a chance of doing so."
"I'm only a little over 100,000 years old now, so I can't guarantee whether I'll succeed!"
Having said that, the Golden Hawksbill Turtle stopped talking nonsense.
It mobilized all its Aura of Auspiciousness, attempting to alter the form of the Spirit Bone that was about to condense.
In the original sacrificial process, it should have been a piece of Torso Soul Bone.
However, as Aura of Auspiciousness continued to flow in, the originally formed Spirit Bone began to slowly change.
A special force is constantly changing the shape of the Spirit Bone.
The golden light grew increasingly intense, and finally, a complete golden Turtle Shell slowly emerged before everyone's eyes.
This Spirit Bone was actually transformed into External Soul Bone by the Golden Hawksbill Turtle!
Moreover, it is an extremely special piece of Carapace External Soul Bone.
Immediately afterwards, the Golden Hawksbill Turtle's soul power rapidly weakened, and its Soul Ring and Spirit Bone were completely condensed, all floating in front of Yu Changge.
A phantom image of a Golden Giant Turtle glanced at Yu Changge one last time.
"I'm giving you everything I have."
"Don't let me make the wrong bet!"
As soon as the words fell, the illusory soul finally transformed into specks of golden light and directly disappeared into the External Soul Bone to the Turtle Shell.
The next moment, a faint light flashed within the Turtle Shell, and the Golden Hawksbill Turtle's soul fell into a deep sleep.
Yu Changge gazed at the golden armor before him and fell into deep thought.
There are External Soul Bone in this style?
If the Torso Soul Bone mainly covers the front of the body, then this Turtle Shell is equivalent to a defensive armor that completely covers the back.
Moreover, this form does not significantly affect the spread of the Dragon Wing, nor does it require the dragon to carry a huge shell like a real turtle.
From its appearance, it looks more like a golden backplate.
Yu Changge was quite satisfied.
Without further delay, he directly guided the 100,000-year-old red Soul Ring and began absorbing its power.
He actively channeled the earth-attribute energy contained within his Soul Ring to his spleen, while the excess water-attribute power was guided into his kidneys.
The two elemental forces simultaneously merged into Yu Changge's Body Martial Soul, gradually transforming into her own power.
At the same time, the Turtle Shell External Soul Bone began to slowly merge into his body, eventually covering his back.
Immediately afterwards, the surrounding red Magnetic Field gradually dissipated.
The Golden Crocodile immediately stepped forward and, upon seeing the golden Turtle Shell on Yu Changge's back, couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
"This counts as External Soul Bone?"
"It looks similar to the Torso Soul Bone."
Qian Daoliu observed for a moment, then explained, "It should count."
"The Turtle Shell shell is not part of the body, which is consistent with the characteristics of tortoise-type spirit beasts."
Azure Luan nodded. "Moreover, this Turtle Shell was probably modified from the original Torso Soul Bone."
"That's why it doesn't protrude so obviously; it can be considered a carapace."
Azure Luan looked at the golden armor on Yu Changge's back and said, "It looks much better this way. You can't really carry a tortoise shell on your back; that would be a bit unsightly."
"Furthermore, this form will not affect Changge to use Dragon Wing."
After listening, everyone felt that it made a lot of sense.
Three hours later, Yu Changge finally finished absorbing the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and the Turtle Shell -External Soul Bone.
Boom!
A powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body, and the aura of the Radiant Dragon King and the power of his Body Martial Soul stabilized at the same time.
Yu Changge slowly opened her eyes, finally completing this round of absorption.
Golden Crocodile immediately walked over and couldn't help but ask, "Changge, how did it go? Did you get the Soul Skill you wanted?"
Yu Changge nodded. "Yes."
"The Golden Hawksbill Turtle's Soul Ring granted me two Soul Skill."
"The first one is called Earth of the Spleen. Invincible Golden Bell Shield."
"It's the ability the Golden Hawksbill Turtle used before. Once activated, it can form a powerful, all-around defensive shield around me."
"Unless the opponent is far stronger than me, this shield is extremely difficult to break."
Yu Changge paused for a moment, then continued, "Moreover, during the process of releasing the shield, I can continuously inject Soul Power to repair any damage it suffers."
"That's why when I used the Sacred Dragon Crystal Tail Slash on the Golden Hawksbill Turtle before, even though the attack had a guard-breaking effect, I still couldn't truly break through its Invincible Barrier."
Upon hearing this, the Golden Crocodile couldn't help but nod.
With its all-around defense capable of continuous repair and strong resilience, this Soul Skill is indeed very suitable for Yu Changge.
Yu Changge continued, "The second Soul Skill is called Earth of the Spleen. Auspicious Dragon Turtle Shell."
"After use, a layer of dark golden Turtle Shell -like phantom will appear on my body, directly covering my entire body."
"During the duration of the Turtle Shell, all damage I take is reduced by fifty percent."
"In addition, I can also return 30% of the damage I suffer to my opponent."
"He also has a passive ability that, when not in use, enhances my luck."
Upon hearing this, the Golden Crocodile's eyes widened instantly.
"Reduce damage by 50%?"
"Can it even return the damage?"
"What kind of heaven-defying defensive Soul Skill is this? I don't even possess Soul Skill like this!"
"Not only that, it can also enhance one's fortune? However, the power of fortune is inherently mysterious. You yourself possess the inheritance of two God King, so your fortune is by no means weak."
Then, Golden Crocodile quickly thought of the battle that had just taken place.
"But that old tortoise didn't seem to use that trick on you, did it?"
Yu Changge nodded and explained, "It should have the ability to reduce damage, but it hasn't shown any damage reduction."
"Because this part is actually the recoil force, which is only effective against melee attacks."
"Furthermore, it was focused solely on blocking my attack, so it didn't activate this ability."
Golden Crocodile was still quite surprised after hearing this.
"That's still very strong!"
"If I possessed such a Soul Skill, and I were to encounter Di Tian again, his attacks would probably be much less likely to harm me."
Then, Qian Daoliu's gaze fell on the Turtle Shell behind Yu Changge: "What about this External Soul Bone?"
Yu Changge smiled and said, "This Spirit Bone has also granted me two skills."
One of them is Earth Escape.
"After using it, I can travel underground, which is quite simple."
"The other one is a domain skill, Black Tortoise Domain Suppression!"
"After release, create a domain with a diameter of thirty meters centered on myself."
"Within this area, gravity will become ten times stronger than before."
"At the same time, dark golden rock chains will continuously rise from the ground, which can be used to attack enemies or bind opponents."
"Furthermore, within this area, my own defense will increase by 100%, and I can use Earth Escape without restriction."
"Finally, the back armor can also gather the power of the earth to unleash a powerful earth-attribute area-of-effect attack, drawing out massive rock spikes from underground to deal Destruction damage to the enemy."
After hearing the entire skill description, everyone present fell silent.
Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile, in particular, were both at a loss for words for a moment.
They originally thought that the Turtle Shell External Soul Bone mainly provided defensive capabilities, but now it seems that its effects go far beyond that.
Earth Escape allows Yu Changge to freely travel underground, while Black Tortoise Domain Suppression simultaneously possesses gravity suppression, binding, attack, and defense enhancements.
Finally, there are also area-of-effect attacks launched from underground.
This is more than just a defensive External Soul Bone.
It's a perfect combination of offense and defense, and it also takes into account control and mobility!
Originally, Yu Changge already possessed two super-powerful domains, the Slaughter Domain and the Radiant Dragon Domain, and now she has this Black Tortoise Domain Suppression!
Three major fields converge in one person – this is unprecedented!
If, in the future, those who fight Yu Changge cannot quickly escape his domain, then the initiative in the battle will gradually fall into Yu Changge's hands.
After a long silence, the Golden Crocodile finally couldn't help but speak up, "True Self always thought that the Golden Hawksbill Turtle was a soul beast with little offensive capability."
"Now it seems that's not necessarily true."
Golden Crocodile looked at the dark gold Turtle Shell behind Yu Changge, his expression full of emotion.
"These two Soul Bone Skill, especially the Black Tortoise Domain Suppression ability, are simply terrifying."
