Xu Xingyu, who had already completed the fusion of the Mountain Dragon King Torso Bone, was somewhat stunned! In just a short while, Xu Xingyu had actually completed the fusion of the Mountain Dragon King Soul Bone! The whole process took less than ten minutes!

The fusion time for the Light Dragon King Left Palm Bone was even shorter than that for the Mountain Dragon King Torso Bone!

If Xu Xingyu hadn't truly felt that the two Soul Bone had fused with her, and that she had indeed gained power boosts and new skills, Xu Xingyu would have doubted whether she had fused with fake Soul Bone.

However, upon closer reflection, this is most likely because one's body did not fuse with the Soul Bone, but rather absorbed Soul Bone. This phenomenon only occurs when the bloodline of the fused Soul Bone differs greatly from the Soul Master's own bloodline.

If the bloodline within Soul Bone is nobler than that of Soul Master, then the Soul Master will experience great pain or even death when fusing with the Soul Bone. However, if the Soul Master's bloodline is even nobler, then fusing with the Soul Bone Soul Bone will become a process of devouring the Soul Bone, which will be absorbed by the Soul Master effortlessly.

Soul Master will still gain the abilities and bonuses of Soul Bone, but the Soul Skill they develop may undergo slight mutations due to changes in their own bloodline.

The most obvious example in the original work is Tang Wulin, who once obtained a hundred-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Right Palm Bone, and then absorbed that Soul Bone by devouring it, just like Xu Xingyu.

After consuming that Soul Bone, he did not obtain the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's original Soul Skill, Dark Gold Dreadclaw. Instead, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw skill merged with his own Golden Dragon Claw, giving birth to the even more powerful ultimate skill, Golden Dragon Dreadclaw.

Xu Xingyu had previously absorbed the Dragon King Soul Bone through devouring, since at least in this Douluo Galaxy, no beast's bloodline was more noble than the Dragon God's bloodline.

However, the first time he fused with the Soul Bone, which was the left palm of the Dark Dragon King, his cultivation was relatively weak, so even the absorption still took some time. The second time, he fused with the Soul Bone of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings at the same time when the Chaos Core had a problem.

Both Soul Bone processes were extremely arduous and painful, to the point that Xu Xingyu himself did not realize that he was absorbing the Soul Bone through devouring.

However, it's not too late to know now. At least it won't waste too much time when fusing with the Dragon King Soul Bone later, right?

After clearing her mind of distractions, Xu Xingyu looked at the bead in her hand that contained the God-Given Soul Ring. Because of her bloodline advantage, it was easier and faster for Xu Xingyu to fuse with Soul Bone, but it was different to fuse with God-Given Soul Ring.

God-Given Soul Ring are different from normal Soul Ring. They do not contain the energy condensed after the death of Soul Beast. Instead, they are special Soul Ring condensed by the god using his own Divine Power based on the framework of the Soul Ring.

Absorbing this kind of Soul Ring will not be subject to any resentment from Soul Beast or suppression of bloodlines, but precisely because of this, one needs to be extra careful when washing one's hands.

If one becomes greedy and desires a higher-level Soul Ring, one may unknowingly increase the age of the God-Given Soul Ring beyond one's physical limits during the absorption process, leaving oneself covered in injuries, or even killing oneself.

Admittedly, Xu Xingyu, who possesses a God Level physique, doesn't particularly need to worry about these issues, so she can absorb them freely. However, it's best not to be too reckless.

The golden bead in her hand transformed into a thick golden mist that merged into Xu Xingyu's body. A purple-gold star rose behind Xu Xingyu, and six Soul Ring —red, red, red, purple, gold, purple, gold, purple—appeared along with it.

The moment Xu Xingyu absorbed the golden mist, she could feel a massive amount of energy being absorbed by her. Under Xu Xingyu guidance, this energy was absorbed by the purple-gold star symbolizing emperors. At the same moment the energy was absorbed, a phantom white Soul Ring began to appear.

As energy continued to be absorbed, the color of the Soul Ring gradually changed from white to yellow, and after absorbing a certain amount of energy, the Soul Ring exploded!

However, this does not mean that Xu Xingyu failed to fuse the Soul Ring. After all, with his cultivation level, a Hundred-Year Soul Ring is not qualified to be his Seventh Soul Ring!

The fragments of the exploding Soul Ring reassembled at this moment, and this time the color changed from yellow, symbolizing a hundred years, to purple, symbolizing a thousand years.

After officially turning purple, the Soul Ring exploded again and reformed, then began the process of turning from purple to black, followed by the transformation of the Soul Ring from black to red.

The most difficult step is when the God-Given Soul Ring turns red, because from this point on, one must use their Martial Soul to inscribe a golden pattern on the Soul Ring after absorbing energy for every 100,000 years.

Normally, this golden pattern is a unique mark left by the Soul Ring of Soul Beast after it dies after arriving at the Ferocious Beast, symbolizing the power of the laws of heaven and earth that the Soul Beast comprehended during its lifetime.

However, there is no such law power in the God-Given Soul Ring. This means that if Soul Master wants to further increase the age of their God-Given Soul Ring and surpass the limit of 100,000 years, they must inscribe the law power they have comprehended on the divinely bestowed God-Given Soul Ring Martial Soul.

This is why the highest limit of the God-Given Soul Ring usually awarded by the God Examination is usually 100,000 years, rather than a more advanced Ferocious Beast Soul Ring. Because if you want to do that, you either have to let the Soul Master inscribe the law himself, or you have to inscribe it for the Soul Master in advance.

The latter's action is tantamount to distributing his authority among his Soul Ring.

No god would be willing to do something so thankless and exhausting. Even if that person is their successor, since if the successor fails halfway, then not only will their Soul Ring, which bears a part of their authority, be wasted, but their authority will also be weakened!

As for the former, it is more difficult for the Soul Master to inscribe the laws himself, because a normal Soul Master can only comprehend the power of laws after becoming Titled Douluo, while Soul Ring are only needed by Soul Master who have not yet become Titled Douluo or Soul Master with Twin Martial Souls.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, no god would be willing to create Soul Ring of Ferocious Beast or even a million years. It would be too wasteful of divine Divine Power. Moreover, it would be more efficient to keep the energy for one's own use rather than create such a God-Given Soul Ring.

Only Dragon God, who has long since fallen and holds unimaginable trust in his successor, would create such a thankless and laborious divinely God-Given Soul Ring!

Xu Xingyu did not disappoint the Dragon God's expectations. Although his Soul Power cultivation had not yet reached the level of Titled Douluo being, due to his God Level- level blood and Spiritual Power and the Dragon God Bloodline, Xu Xingyu had long ago begun to come into contact with the power of laws and had his own understanding of it.

Therefore, completing the inscription on the Soul Ring is ultimately just a matter of time!
