Heaven-Defying External Soul Bone-Heart of the Sea God

"The starfish is pretty fast." Sitting atop the starfish, Su Ming could not help but marvel.

The Demon Empress really knew how to find transportation.

Not only was this starfish obedient and fast, it was also incredibly comfortable to sit on.

And throughout the journey, the starfish had even spontaneously formed a membrane of water to protect him and Lan Fozu.

"Of course!" Hearing Su Ming praise her mother, Lan Fozu proudly chimed in.

At this speed, barring any accidents, we should be back in Salted Fish Village the day after tomorrow.

On the way here, Su Ming had not been idle. He had silently calculated the approximate distance in his mind.

Now, based on the starfish's speed, he could naturally estimate how long it would take to return home.

Su Ming was quite satisfied with this amount of time. It was not too long.

Then, while chatting with Lan Fozu from time to time, he finally diverted some of his attention to study the remaining new abilities he had gained.

If I didn't have one myself, I probably wouldn't believe an External Soul Bone could appear in the heart.

As he sensed the exact location of the External Soul Bone within his body, Su Ming was deeply astonished.

Looking across the various Douluo Continent stories, whenever External Soul Bones were mentioned, people thought of the Eight Spider Lances from the Man Faced Demon Spider and the palm bone from the Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear.

They had practically become must-have Spirit Bones in the eras of Douluo One and Douluo Two.

If he had obtained one in those locations, or even somewhere slightly more unusual, Su Ming would not have been surprised.

But the location of the External Soul Bone he possessed was simply too astonishing.

An External Soul Bone had appeared in his heart. Saying it aloud would sound like sheer fantasy.

Of course, the External Soul Bone in Su Ming's heart had not directly replaced his heart, nor had it fused with it.

In a sense, this External Soul Bone could be regarded as a special protective organ added around his heart.

Even so, Su Ming had named this External Soul Bone the Heart of the Sea God.

That alone showed how much Su Ming expected from this External Soul Bone.

Well, do not misunderstand Su Ming's goal.

The upper limit he envisioned for his External Soul Bone was not the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud left behind on Douluo Continent by the First-Generation Sea God Poseidon, which Tang San had obtained.

It was, in the literal sense, the Heart of the Sea God.

The thirty-year External Soul Bone, Heart of the Sea God, now possessed two attached soul skills, and they could only be described as outrageous.

They were not offensive soul skills, and both were passive soul skills.

Yet the abilities they possessed were unbelievably heaven-defying even by Su Ming's standards.

It could only be said that it truly deserved to be the top-tier External Soul Bone upon which he had placed such high hopes.

The Heart of the Sea God carried its first soul skill—Endless Revival—and its second soul skill—Immortal Divine Heart.

Endless Revival soul skill effect: Passive soul skill. The heart gained the power of the ocean. Every heartbeat drew upon the water elements and life energy between heaven and earth, automatically healing the user's injuries, restoring Soul Power, and even regenerating severed limbs and repairing shattered meridians.

Immortal Divine Heart soul skill effect: Passive soul skill. So long as the Heart of the Sea God was not completely destroyed, even if the physical body were blasted into fragments, it could draw upon the power of the sea and reconstruct the body with the heart as its core.

Now, not only do I have limitless endurance and recovery, I can truly become immortal.

These two soul skills were practically tailor-made for my Martial Souls!!

Pulling himself free from his overwhelming shock, Su Ming subconsciously drew a sharp breath. The astonishment in his eyes lingered for a long time.

If someone else obtained the Heart of the Sea God, they would likely have to ensure they fought in places containing water elements and life energy at all times.

After all, only then could the two soul skills, Endless Revival and Immortal Divine Heart, achieve their greatest effects.

But Su Ming had no such concern.

Do not forget that among his Three-Life Martial Souls was a genuine Sea God!

With a true Sea God Martial Soul, did he still need to worry about lacking water elements?

The Sea God Martial Soul Kyogre paired with the External Soul Bone Ocean Heart—so long as his Soul Power did not run dry, was this not like stepping on one foot with the other to ascend into the sky?

That was precisely why Su Ming believed he had gained truly limitless endurance and recovery, and no longer needed to fear death. He had truly become immortal.

"Big brother, what are you smiling about?"

Watching Su Ming chat with her while looking shocked one moment and suddenly grinning the next, Lan Fozu asked in confusion.

"Nothing, Little Lan. Big brother just thought of something very happy."

How could Su Ming not smile after suddenly gaining such heaven-defying soul skills?

After forcefully suppressing the grin that he could not hide no matter how hard he tried, Su Ming changed the subject. "Little Lan, I believe it will not be long before big brother successfully revives your mother."

"Really, big brother?" Lan Fozu said in surprise.

Before her sacrifice, the Demon Empress had told her daughter that she did not hold much hope for being revived. Her only wish was for Su Ming to deal with Tang San.

As a result, Lan Fozu had not thought much about such matters.

She was afraid that the greater her hope, the greater her disappointment would be.

But now that Su Ming had suddenly brought it up himself, it was difficult for Lan Fozu not to feel happy.

Even if it were false, the fact that he was willing to deceive her and play along was enough to show his attitude.

At the very least, it could serve as temporary comfort and count as a little hope.

After all, what Lan Fozu feared most was someone who never mentioned such things at all.

As though it were never spoken of, as though it had been completely forgotten—that was what hurt the most.

"It's true. Big brother will absolutely keep his word," Su Ming replied firmly.

With a full set of divine equipment and divine skills in hand, if he still could not become a god soon, he might as well start over.

And naturally, the "not long" he spoke of was not meant to deceive Lan Fozu.

For a soul beast, was a dozen or twenty years not a short time?

As his foundation grew ever more terrifying, the goals Su Ming set for himself also became increasingly ambitious.

Even if he would first have to create his own Godhood in the future, which would be more troublesome than inheriting one,

it still would not take too long.

Naturally, reviving the Demon Empress would also be accomplished sooner.

"Thank you, big brother."

Su Ming's resolute tone made Lan Fozu extremely happy.

The next moment, she threw herself into Su Ming's arms and began acting cute.

Although Lan Fozu was a transformed soul beast, and although she was still an innocent child, acting cute seemed to be carved into her nature.

Perhaps that was simply the instinct of a pure child.
