Tang San, Your Mother's Spirit Bone Is Gone!

Ye Han and the Demon Subduing Douluo flew toward Sacred Soul Village.

The Demon Subduing Douluo had no idea what Ye Han was planning to do.

But the boy had always been mysterious, so he did not ask. Following along was enough.

Ye Han knew that Tang Hao had buried the seed formed after the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor's death inside a stone chamber somewhere in the mountains behind Sacred Soul Village.

The Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone she had left behind was there as well.

At this point, there were only a little over six months left until the Soul Master Tournament.

Tang Hao should not have been there.

He should have been in Heaven Dou City right now, secretly watching over Tang San.

Even if he was there, there was nothing to fear.

His internal injuries were severe. He was like a dog with a broken spine.

The Demon Subduing Douluo was nearly rank ninety-seven, more than enough to crush him.

Ye Han knew that the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone would not only grant its absorber formidable vitality, but also came with two highly practical soul skills.

One was a flight skill with extremely low consumption.

The other was a powerful self-healing ability.

This life-attribute Spirit Bone was suitable for all soul masters.

Ye Han already had a wing-type Spirit Bone, but being able to fly with lower consumption would naturally be even better.

Its powerful recovery ability was simply the perfect complement to his Coiling Dragon Staff martial soul, which grew braver and stronger with every battle.

There was plenty of time, so Ye Han was in no rush.

The two traveled at a leisurely pace, stopping and going along the way.

After fusing with that Bloodthirsty Berserk right leg bone, the Demon Subduing Douluo's fighting spirit had also been ignited, and he yearned even more to break through his bottleneck.

He often activated the Spirit Bone to invigorate his blood and boost his energy, cultivating in that state.

His rank ninety-six bottleneck, which had remained stagnant for years, showed faint signs of loosening.

In his spare time, he also practiced the first form of the Unyielding Staff Technique. It seemed he would master it soon.

Before they knew it, more than a month had passed.

Ye Han and the Demon Subduing Douluo arrived in the sprawling mountain range behind Sacred Soul Village.

Few people ever came here. Ancient trees towered overhead, and the terrain was complex.

Ye Han flew through the air, carefully observing the surrounding landscape.

He knew there was a conspicuous feature near the stone chamber where Tang Hao had hidden the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone.

There was a massive pool there, with a waterfall hundreds of meters long above it.

They would find that enormous waterfall first.

"Kid, what exactly are you looking for?"

"Something special. I think my master brought me here when I was little, but I can't quite remember the exact location."

"You really are a strange one."

The Demon Subduing Douluo did not think much of it.

He had already grown accustomed to the boy's mysterious nonsense.

Whenever Ye Han encountered something he could not explain, he would bring up that nonexistent "master" of his.

The trick worked quite well.

The two continued searching from the air.

After passing through a dense forest, a deafening roar came from ahead.

Their view suddenly opened up.

A broad waterfall poured down from the summit of a cliff hundreds of meters high.

It thundered like a stampede of ten thousand horses, magnificent and imposing.

The massive torrent crashed into a bottomless pool below, sending water mist soaring into the sky.

Ye Han's heartbeat quickened.

Is this the place?

Ye Han folded his wings and landed at the edge of the pool.

"Grandpa Demon Subduing, let's rest here for a while."

"Alright."

The Demon Subduing Douluo looked around, then walked to the pool and splashed some water on his face.

Ye Han released his spiritual power and sensed his surroundings carefully.

Behind the waterfall, there was the hollow echo of an empty space.

He was certain Tang Hao was not nearby.

Otherwise, with Tang Hao's spiritual power, he would have sensed their presence long ago.

Ye Han did not rashly head behind the waterfall.

He wanted to find an opportunity to enter alone.

Some things were better left unknown to others.

The two rested beside the pool for a while and ate something.

"Kid, are we going somewhere else?"

"It's getting late. Let's rest here tonight."

"Alright."

The two set up their tents.

Night fell.

The Demon Subduing Douluo activated his right leg bone and entered a cultivation state.

Early the next morning.

The moment Ye Han woke up, he smelled an enticing fragrance and could not help swallowing.

The Demon Subduing Douluo was grilling fish nearby.

"Kid, you're awake. The fish is ready, so eat it while it's hot. The sound of the water is too loud here. I'll go up there to cultivate for a while. Call me if you need anything."

"Mm, go ahead."

The Demon Subduing Douluo turned into a streak of light and shot into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, he reached the cliff above the waterfall.

The opportunity had come.

Ye Han picked up a grilled fish and finished it in a few bites.

Then he hurriedly circulated his soul power and charged directly behind the waterfall.

There really was an entrance here.

Ye Han did not hesitate and walked straight inside.

After passing through a dim passageway, a hidden stone chamber appeared before him.

The stone chamber was not large, only around twenty square meters.

Inside stood a stone table and two stone stools.

There was also an inconspicuous little mound of dirt.

A special stalk of Blue Silver Grass grew from that mound.

Unlike ordinary Blue Silver Grass, faint golden patterns could be seen on its leaves.

Sunlight streamed through a crack in the ceiling of the stone chamber and fell right upon it, giving it a mysterious appearance.

This was the seed formed after the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor's death.

Sensing an unfamiliar presence, the Blue Silver Emperor suddenly began to sway.

Ye Han snorted coldly:

"Blue Silver Emperor, you sacrificed yourself to a human soul master, yet even after death, you still cannot rest in peace. You have been imprisoned in this sunless place.

"Stop being so deluded. Tang Hao deceived you. Do you know where his fully equipped set of Spirit Bones came from?

"Thousands upon thousands of soul beasts died by his hand. Perhaps even you were merely a tool he used to increase his strength!

"What are you still attached to, when he is an executioner who treats the lives of soul beasts as worthless grass?!""

Upon hearing those words, the Blue Silver Grass seemed to react, its leaves trembling slightly.

"I'll take you out of this cage."

Ye Han dug up the Blue Silver Emperor and placed her inside the green space of the Seven-Star Dragon-Pattern Belt, which could store living creatures.

If he took away the Blue Silver Emperor seed and killed the Blue Silver King, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul would be unable to undergo its second awakening.

Ye Han knew that the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone was in this stone chamber.

He closed his eyes and spread out his spiritual power, carefully sensing every trace of soul power fluctuation within the chamber...

"Found it!"

Ye Han opened his eyes, his gaze locking onto a corner of the stone wall.

He tapped it with his finger and heard an echo, confirming it further.

He clenched his right hand in the air, and the Coiling Dragon Staff instantly appeared.

Boom!

With one strike, he blasted a depression into the stone wall. Rubble fell away, but it did not cause widespread damage.

A dark lead box appeared before him.

Ye Han took it out without hesitation.

The lead box was not large, yet it felt remarkably heavy in his hand.

There were no patterns or decorations on it. It looked plain and unadorned.

Ye Han placed it on the stone table and gently opened the lid.

Dazzling blue-gold light burst from the box, instantly illuminating the dim stone chamber.

It really was a right leg Spirit Bone!

A hundred thousand years!

The moment Ye Han picked up the Spirit Bone, he felt a vast surge of life energy.

Time was short.

He needed to fuse with it quickly while the Demon Subduing Douluo was cultivating.

Ye Han sat down, pressed the Spirit Bone against his right leg, and began the fusion...
