Boom!

A terrifying holy pressure suddenly descended over the Blood Fiend Swamp.

A massive golden hand condensed from Soul Power plunged fiercely into the depths of the swamp,

forcibly dragging a dark-red dragon with wings on its back out of the mire and slamming it hard onto the ground.

Mud splattered everywhere, and dark-red dragon blood mixed with sludge, flowing across the ground.

The dragon howled in agony, its enormous body struggling in the mud, its dark-red draconic eyes filled with terror.

The nine-thousand-five-hundred-year Bloodwing Demon Dragon was pinned firmly to the ground beneath Qian Daoliu's pressure, left with only ragged breaths.

Whoosh—

A blood-red sword flash streaked past.

The Asura Demon Sword plunged straight into the Bloodwing Demon Dragon's eye, piercing deep into its skull.

The dragon wailed, roared, and cried out in misery as blood sprayed everywhere.

The dark-golden demonic patterns on the blade flickered wildly, greedily devouring the dragon's blood.

A moment later, the dragon's body convulsed violently a few times. Its wings drooped weakly, and it went completely still.

A soul ring so purple it was nearly black slowly rose into the air.

Luo Jiuyou pulled out the Asura Demon Sword, sat cross-legged, and drew the soul ring toward himself.

As the second soul ring entered his body, the impact of the blood fiend energy was still fierce, but with his previous experience, it was nowhere near as painful as before.

The Asura Purgatory Technique began circulating on its own, guiding the soul ring's power through his body and refining it.

It seeped into his limbs and bones, tempering every inch of flesh.

At the same time, the Asura Demon Sword continued to blaze with red light, drawing in the Bloodwing Demon Dragon's blood and continuously injecting it into Luo Jiuyou's body.

The blood wrapped around his entire body, forming a dark-red blood cocoon.

It continued to pulse, like a heart being nurtured.

His physique grew tougher beneath the washing of blood fiend energy. His flesh, muscles, and bones strengthened continuously through tempering, while his blood and vitality surged like a raging current.

At the same time, he once again clearly sensed the Asura Demon Sword changing in tandem.

The sword continued growing heavier, as if invisible hands were pouring molten iron into its body.

Its immense weight accumulated without end, layer upon layer pressing into the blade.

Yet its light-as-a-feather trait meant he did not feel any intense pressure while holding it.

He only felt that the sword in his hand had become more solid than before.

Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Ye Guyi watched Luo Jiuyou expectantly from the side.

The Soul Power within the blood cocoon began rising steadily.

After consecutively absorbing two soul rings beyond his limit, his Soul Power surged wildly.

Just as it was about to stall at the peak of rank twenty-nine,

the Asura Demon Sword suddenly caught a crimson stream of light within the blood it had drawn in.

That stream of light shot into Luo Jiuyou's body. It was as though something had been completely awakened, and with a bang, the Soul Power that had been stuck at the peak of rank twenty-nine was violently pushed upward.

Rank thirty.

Qian Daoliu frowned slightly.

That feeling just now had been very unusual.

Moreover, Luo Jiuyou had originally been about to remain stuck at the peak of rank twenty-nine, yet he had abruptly broken through to rank thirty because of that thing.

Still, reaching rank thirty after absorbing only two soul rings was simply too terrifyingly fast.

He could obtain his third soul ring now.

Hiss!!

The massive blood cocoon around Luo Jiuyou suddenly burst apart.

Blood-red light exploded outward, fragments scattering in every direction before turning into tiny red motes that faded into the air.

Immediately after that,

an even denser blood-red radiance bloomed from Luo Jiuyou's back, and a pair of dragon wings suddenly spread from his shoulder blades.

The dark-red wings stretched a full four meters wide and were covered in dense scales.

The three girls stared at the wings on Luo Jiuyou's back in disbelief.

"Junior Brother... Junior Brother grew wings?!"

"Aren't those that demon dragon's wings?! How did they appear on Junior Brother?"

"How could this..."

Qian Daoliu stared at the pair of dragon wings in silence for a moment. "An External Soul Bone."

The three girls froze.

"An External Soul Bone?!" Bibi Dong's voice went shrill.

"Grandpa, are you saying... the dragon wings on Little Junior Brother are an External Soul Bone?" Qian Renxue could hardly believe it.

"Isn't that an extremely rare thing with only a one-in-a-million chance of appearing?"

Bibi Dong counted on her fingers, finding it more outrageous the more she calculated.

"And it can continuously evolve as the soul master grows?!" Ye Guyi added softly, her gaze filled with amazement.

The three girls looked at one another, then blankly at Luo Jiuyou.

Luo Jiuyou slowly opened his eyes at that moment.

He saw his three senior sisters staring curiously at him.

No, they were staring behind him.

What was behind him?

He turned to follow their gazes and immediately froze.

A pair of wings?

"An External Soul Bone?!"

"That's right, Junior Brother! Your luck is insanely good!"

Bibi Dong was the first to rush over. She circled around him once, then again.

"This is an External Soul Bone that only has a one-in-a-million chance of appearing!"

"That's right, that's right! An External Soul Bone that doesn't take up a soul bone slot and can grow alongside a soul master!"

"Junior Brother, your luck is truly incredible."

Ye Guyi looked at the External Soul Bone dragon wings on Luo Jiuyou's back with envy.

"So that means Junior Brother, you can fly directly now?"

Bibi Dong's eyes sparkled, as though she had thought of something interesting.

At the mention of flying, Bibi Dong's eyes were full of envy as well.

Bibi Dong herself could not even jump very high, while her second and third junior sisters both possessed angel martial souls and could fly.

She suddenly felt even more miserable.

So she was the only one who could not fly.

For some reason, she imagined the future: her junior brother and junior sisters could all fly, while she stood on the ground. It would be so embarrassing.

While Bibi Dong was letting her thoughts run wild, Luo Jiuyou stood up, and the Asura Demon Sword slipped from his legs.

With a bang, the blade struck the ground and smashed out a huge crater.

The muddy ground sank half a foot deep, cracks spreading outward from the edge of the crater.

The three girls' gazes all fell on the crater, then all shifted to Luo Jiuyou.

"Junior Brother, why does your sword seem to have gotten heavier again?" Bibi Dong swallowed with difficulty.

"Yeah, yeah, it feels even heavier than before." Qian Renxue nodded in agreement.

Luo Jiuyou bent down, picked up the Asura Demon Sword, weighed it in his hand, then answered honestly.

"After absorbing the first soul ring, it had already become six thousand jin. Now, after the second soul ring, it weighs ten thousand jin."

The three girls looked at one another.

"T-Ten thousand jin??"

"No, you can still lift a ten-thousand-jin sword so easily?!"

"Junior Brother's sword has a trait that can adjust its own weight."

Ye Guyi spoke softly, remembering some of the traits Luo Jiuyou had mentioned before.

"It should feel very light when he holds it. But if an enemy faces this sword, they will truly have to withstand the attack of this ten-thousand-jin weapon."

She looked at the Asura Demon Sword, her eyes shining brightly.

Who could withstand the fierce slash of such a heavy sword?

Bibi Dong imagined herself being struck by that sword and silently took half a step back.

If she really faced that sword, she would probably be smashed to death by it.

Qian Daoliu watched from the side, similarly moved.

Even his Angel Holy Sword weighed only thirty-six thousand jin.

The Asura Demon Sword in Luo Jiuyou's hand already weighed ten thousand jin. Once the ninth soul ring was attached, how heavy would it become?

For some reason, he thought of his friend and rival.

Tang Chen.

The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand was equally incomparably heavy, weighing eighteen thousand jin under normal circumstances.

When unleashed and empowered by his Martial Soul Avatar, it would reach a colossal hundred thousand jin.

The three girls gathered around and reached out to touch the Asura Demon Sword in Luo Jiuyou's hand, marveling at how thick and heavy it had become.

"Oh, right, right!" Bibi Dong suddenly seemed to remember something and shouted excitedly.

"Junior Brother, Junior Brother, what is your soul ring skill? And what about the External Soul Bone? The External Soul Bone should have some abilities too, right?!"

Qian Renxue and Ye Guyi looked over at the same time, their eyes full of curiosity.
