Dark Demon Evil God Hook, a Mutated Natal Soul Ring!

"Such big words!"

"You're nothing but a six-year-old child, while I am a Soul Beast of noble blood."

"I possess the blessings of wind, thunder, and lightning. Killing you here would be as easy as turning my hand!"

"This time, the advantage is mine!"

Killing intent flickered in the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's eyes. It stopped wasting words and transformed into a streak of black lightning.

"Die!"

With an angry roar, it charged Xia Mu once more.

"Dugu Nine Swords—Palm-Breaking Form!"

Sword intent surged around Xia Mu, and sharp sword qi burst forth. His complex techniques simplified into the fundamentals, carrying the natural simplicity of a sword move as he struck at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger first.

Pounce, swipe, bite!

Those were the three universal moves of tigers!

Xia Mu did not panic in the slightest. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger only had those three tricks, making it perfect for the Palm-Breaking Form.

What he faced was the true Wind-Thunder Tiger Palm!

In the blink of an eye!

The two exchanged more than ten moves in an instant. Everything that had just happened took place in a flash.

"How is this possible?"

After exhausting its three tricks, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was stunned as well. It seemed that this brat had not been lying!

"Is this brat really human?"

"What kind of six-year-old looks like this? Not only is he so tall and strong, but he also possesses such skills?"

As the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger stared at Xia Mu, a faint sense of despair rose in its heart. Had it known, it would have chosen another target.

"There was a road to heaven, yet you refused to take it. Hell had no gate, yet you barged right in. This time, you've kicked an iron plate."

"If you had chosen another target, you might have survived!"

Xia Mu was not wrong. If the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had targeted Ye Renxin instead, it might really have succeeded!

Ye Renxin's martial soul was the Nine-Heart Begonia, and he was a healing-type Soul Master. To the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, he would have been a dish in its bowl, free to eat however it pleased!

A Soul Master like that was nothing less than a great tonic.

Unfortunately, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had been frightened by the people outside and only wanted to pick the softest persimmon to squeeze!

Yet instead, it ran into Xia Mu, who was stuffed with sugar.

"I'll take your life first!"

Xia Mu circulated the Dugu Nine Swords and unleashed its ultimate move—Nine Swords as One!

"The way of the sharp sword lies in breaking!"

"Predict the enemy's moves, Nine Swords as One!"

Xia Mu chanted a sword verse, his entire body transforming into a drawn sword as he charged at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

"Protective Dark Aura!"

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was horrified and activated its soul skill.

"Break!"

Nine Swords as One, sword intent surged!

A sword flashed with cold light, and the demonic tiger vanished in an instant!

Xia Mu beheaded the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with one strike!

Its head rolled straight to the ground, and a trace of regret seemed to remain within its wide-open eyes.

"The victor has been decided!"

A grand voice rang out.

When Xia Mu looked again, he had already returned to the real world, while the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had long since breathed its last!

"Buzz, buzz~"

After the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger died, a strange black orb emerged from its body, preparing to flee.

But Xia Mu had long been prepared. The instant the Evil God Orb appeared, he grabbed it!

"The Dark Demon Evil God Orb!"

"This Evil God Orb can create a first-class god. This is the greatest harvest of my trip."

Xia Mu used Soul Power to seal the Evil God Orb, then placed it inside a specially made anti-magic box.

Only after finishing everything did he finally let out a breath.

"Xia Mu!"

"Are you alright?"

The others gathered around him again and asked with concern.

"I'm fine!"

"I'm just a little exhausted!"

That strike from Xia Mu had gathered all his essence, energy, and spirit. Once unleashed, it could sever all things!

"Who would have thought!"

"That beast actually had such a move hidden up its sleeve!"

Dugu Bo's expression was somewhat awkward. As Xia Mu's protector, he had nearly protected nothing at all this time!

"I'll restore your Soul Power!"

"Then you can absorb the Soul Ring!"

Ye Renxin slowly stepped forward. The Nine-Heart Begonia martial soul appeared, and he activated his soul skill to begin healing him.

Half an incense stick later, Xia Mu was fully restored.

"The Nine-Heart Begonia truly deserves to be called the world's one-and-only immortal herb martial soul. Its soul skill's effects are indeed absurdly powerful!"

After experiencing it firsthand, Xia Mu could not help but say so.

"You're not wrong, boy!"

"If the Nine-Heart Begonia had not incurred the jealousy of the heavens, the title of strongest support martial soul would have changed hands long ago!"

Ye Renxin laughed heartily upon hearing that.

"No time to waste!"

"Hurry and absorb this Soul Ring!"

Seeing this, Liu Yuer urged him again.

This was a Soul Ring produced by a fifty-thousand-year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. It was one of a kind in the world, and its quality was incomparably rare!

"Alright!"

Xia Mu walked up to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, released his martial soul to draw in the Soul Ring, then closed his eyes and refined its Soul Power.

"Hm?"

"Although this Soul Ring contains the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's origin, there isn't any soul disturbance at all!"

"What is going on?"

Before Xia Mu could ponder it, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared.

"Riiip~"

A viciously shaped tiger tail appeared behind Xia Mu, with a bizarre reverse hook growing from its tip.

This was the External Soul Bone—the Evil God Hook!

This External Soul Bone was connected to his torso and possessed the rare elemental attributes of evil, wind, and thunder.

"An External Soul Bone?"

"And the rarest kind of all, an External Tail Bone!"

Everyone present was shocked upon seeing it. They all marveled at Xia Mu's incredible luck.

"Two External Soul Bones!"

"This brat's luck is truly unbelievable!"

Seeing this scene, Xia Feng felt a little jealous as well.

"A fifty-thousand-year External Tail Bone—the Dark Demon Evil God Hook? Let me lend him a hand!"

Dugu Bo released the pressure of his Soul Power and helped Xia Mu fuse with the External Soul Bone.

Time passed bit by bit!

With Dugu Bo's help, Xia Mu successfully integrated the fifty-thousand-year External Soul Bone into his body.

At the same time, he successfully refined the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Soul Ring, and his Soul Power soared once again.

"I searched everywhere without finding it, only to obtain it effortlessly. This trip truly wasn't in vain!"

"My sixth Soul Ring is very special. It granted me two soul skills: one is called Blade of Holy Light, while the other is called Evil God Protection!"

"Furthermore, my sixth ring can grow. It is equivalent to a mutated natal Soul Ring!"

"I can devour the corpses of Soul Beasts through the Evil God Hook, thereby increasing the age of my sixth Soul Ring."

"In other words, this Soul Ring can grow together with the Evil God Hook. The two complement each other."

Everyone present was Xia Mu's elder, so he did not hide the effects of his soul skills.

"Hiss!"

"One Soul Ring, two soul skills!"

"And the age of this Soul Ring can continuously increase through the External Soul Bone, with no upper limit!"

Everyone stood frozen in shock. It was their first time witnessing something like this. They had truly lived long enough to see it all.

"This situation is somewhat similar to mine!"

"However, my fifth Soul Ring has only one soul skill, and it does not need external help to grow!"

Xia Feng's fifth Soul Ring was a rare mutated Soul Ring. Its age could continuously increase along with his vitality and blood.

By now, the age of his fifth Soul Ring was approaching that of a seventh ring, nearly reaching the great threshold of ninety thousand years.
