27: Chapter 27 Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone (Part 1)

The absorption of the spirit ring lasted for several days, with Sect Master Du Busi and Jin Peng taking turns keeping watch to ensure Lin Feng's safety.

After sensing that the Aura within Lin Feng's body was approaching stability, Sect Master Du Busi finally set his hanging heart at ease.

This also meant that the battle within his body had already ended; afterwards, he only needed to absorb it steadily, and no further danger would appear.

Jin Peng's face trembled, and his voice carried undisguised excitement: "Sect Master, Xiao Feng has truly succeeded... Once the spirit ring is absorbed, he will be a five-ring Spirit King possessing a one hundred thousand year spirit ring."

"Searching through the entire ancient history of the Douluo Continent, only Xiao Feng has succeeded in doing this. Even the founding Ancestral Master of the Tang Sect from ten thousand years ago could not achieve such a magnificent feat."

Sect Master Du Busi coughed lightly, "Old Jin, calm down. This is only the first one hundred thousand year spirit ring; Xiao Feng still has thirteen vacant spirit ring slots, so the task is extremely arduous..."

He sighed with emotion, feigning melancholy on his face, but the corners of his mouth, which kept curling upwards, truly exposed his inner thoughts.

Jin Peng's mouth twitched for a moment; he discovered that he was still too modest, and that the Sect Master dared to imagine even more than he did...

Fourteen one hundred thousand year spirit rings—even if you slaughtered the entire core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, you wouldn't be certain if you could outfit all of Xiao Feng's spirit rings with one hundred thousand year ones.

"Sect Master, are you really planning to outfit all of Xiao Feng's spirit rings with one hundred thousand year ones? If that's the case, we would have to declare war on the Star Dou Great Forest, wouldn't we?"

Jin Peng's face looked somewhat worried; Di Tian's strength was too great, and he wasn't the only powerhouse in the core area. Among the ten great Vicious Beasts, six of them were in the Star Dou Great Forest.

If such a powerful combat force were really to go to war with the Body Sect, the end result could only be both sides suffering heavy losses.

Sect Master Du Busi was stunned, and he also fell silent.

He waved his hand gloomily, "We'll talk about it later. Besides, one hundred thousand year Vicious Beasts don't only exist in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"If that doesn't work, we'll go look in the Sunset Forest, or the Sun Moon Empire."

"The Sun Moon Empire is vast with a superior geographical location, and it also has a large area of primeval forest. We will definitely be able to find one hundred thousand year Spirit Beasts there!"

Jin Peng pursed his lips and nodded with a bitter smile.

According to his thoughts, Xiao Feng would only need five or six one hundred thousand year spirit rings to be enough to advance to a Limit Douluo. Afterwards, it could be said that apart from Di Tian, there would be no one under heaven who would be his opponent.

His Body Sect would also leap to become the number one power on the Douluo Continent, stepping Shrek underfoot!

However, the Sect Master clearly did not have such plans, but instead intended to outfit all of Xiao Feng's vacant slots with one hundred thousand year ones.

Thinking about that scene, when battling others, once the second Spirit is released, nine one hundred thousand year spirit rings circling around him, the Aura alone would be enough to scare an opponent to death.

...

In the blink of an eye, several more days passed, and Lin Feng's progress in absorbing the spirit ring was nearing its end.

Sect Master Du Busi's eyes flashed with brightness; he sensed that the blood-colored Soul Power that could be extracted from the Thunder Abyss Crocodile King was becoming less and less, and the Fusion was almost complete!

But it was precisely at this moment that an unexpected change occurred!

Bright red beads of blood began to seep out from under Lin Feng's skin, gradually dyeing his clothes red, and also dyeing the ground beneath him red.

Sect Master Du Busi's face changed in alarm; he looked at Lin Feng's mutation in shock. What on earth was going on?

In the center of the continuously seeping blood beads were mixed a trace of Impurities. The amount in every drop was very small, but as they seeped out from every pore like raindrops, the Impurities brought out were quite considerable...

Gradually, Lin Feng turned into a bloody person; a large amount of fresh blood seeped out from within his body. At the same time, the Blade of Life's Watch within his body once again helped him return from the brink of death.

Powerful life force poured into Lin Feng's body. While he was bleeding, the life force was also continuously creating blood, and even his skin faintly showed signs of collapsing.

Power backlash?!

Sect Master Du Busi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he clenched his fists tightly.

In the current situation, he could only rely on Xiao Feng's willpower to hold on. If he held on, then it would be smooth sailing, rising to the heavens in one step!

If he couldn't hold on, the consequences would be unimaginable; the best outcome would be to save his little life...

"You must succeed!"

Sect Master Du Busi broke into a cold sweat for Lin Feng in his heart. In such a thrilling and dangerous situation, even he was unable to intervene.

Gradually, the bloodstains on Lin Feng's body solidified. He sat cross-legged on the ground, motionless, as if he were an ancient fossil, and his whole person looked like a blood-colored sculpture.

One day, two days, three days...

Sect Master Du Busi no longer knew how many days he had been keeping watch here; his gaze was fixed tightly on Lin Feng's direction, and his eyes were covered with bloodshot streaks.

Until the thirty-second day, an extremely light sound of "thump" came, resembling an ancient heartbeat, and also like the roar of a beast when it awakens.

"Thump"

"Thump-thump"

"Thump-thump-thump..."

The sound of the heartbeat went from slow to fast, from light to heavy. In the end, the entire World seemed to only have this heart-pounding sound of a heartbeat left.

A gleam of hope flashed in Sect Master Du Busi's eyes, and his gaze was fixed tightly on that blood-colored sculpture.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"

Several figures suddenly flew over in the sky; the commotion of this heartbeat was too loud, and it even attracted several Elders of the Body Sect.

Jin Peng landed beside Sect Master Du Busi, and his gaze, like his, fell on that blood-colored sculpture.

There were more and more cracks, gradually forming a crisp sound like porcelain cracking. Until the cracks covered the entire blood-colored sculpture, the cracking sound finally stopped.

At this instant, the World seemed to be silent.

"Boom!"

A burst of wild and fierce blood-colored energy erupted, and the shackles that had imprisoned Lin Feng instantly turned into blood mist bubbles and shadows, dissipating into the air.

Everyone opened their eyes wide; some Elders even rubbed their eyes with their hands, their eyes opened wide, and their faces were filled with expressions of shock.

A layer of faint cyan-green radiance began to emerge on Lin Feng's exposed skin. Immediately afterwards, that cyan-green color became more and more obvious, and the light spread outwards, setting off his whole person to be full of vitality.

The Thunder Prison Vine surged against the wind behind him, growing to tens of meters high in almost an instant. Accompanying the release of his Spirit, five spirit rings also rose one after another from beneath his feet.

Purple, purple, black, black... Red!!!

After the black spirit ring rose, a circle of blood-colored spirit ring with delicate golden patterns slowly rose from beneath him, circling around him and rhythmically pulsing slowly.

An ancient, primordial, and terrifying Aura burst forth, shaking the soul of every Elder present.

"Hiss... a one hundred thousand year spirit ring?!"

One of the Elders opened his eyes wide; he had not gone during the Spirit hunting operation and had remained in the Sect to guard it, so he saw a scene that he would find hard to forget for the rest of his life.

One hundred thousand year spirit rings were not common in the Body Sect; the Sect Master himself possessed three one hundred thousand year spirit rings.

Coupled with the last large-scale Spirit hunting, where seven one hundred thousand year Spirit Beasts were hunted, a single one hundred thousand year spirit ring was not enough to make him so shocked.

What he was shocked by was Lin Feng's youth, and the fact that it came from the fifth spirit ring; this was the most terrifying part!

Just as the various Elders were feeling shocked, Lin Feng's fan-like eyelashes trembled slightly, and immediately afterwards, his eyes slowly opened, instinctively spitting out a stream of blood Qi.

That blood Qi was as bright red as blood, taking the form of an arrow, shooting straight towards the ground not far away, actually blasting a small hole the size of a thumb in the ground.

The next moment, Lin Feng's seated body slowly stood up, and he stretched his arms slightly to the sides. One could only hear a burst of cracking sounds like popping beans coming from his body, resonant and powerful.

His body looked extremely disjointed; he lightly stepped out with his right foot, and the bluestone bricks on the ground were instantly crushed. Terrifying blood Qi surged out wildly, forming a clear, long howl in his body like a Dragon's roar.

"Thump thump thump..."

Lin Feng's heartbeat pounded violently, and terrifying blood-colored ripples spread rapidly to the surroundings with him as the center. In almost an instant, it caused the entire courtyard to be permeated with a layer of faint blood mist.

Sect Master Du Busi's eyes were shining brightly; this power... could it be?!

Haa...

Lin Feng let out a long breath, and those terrifying heartbeat sounds gradually weakened, finally returning to calm.

He lifted his foot; his body was almost unable to control the surging power. Every step he took, the ground would shatter in response, and when his palm swept through the air, it would also burst out with a sonic boom that tore through the air.

Sect Master Du Busi took a deep breath and came to Lin Feng's front with an Elder. Watching him adapt to his body like a child who had just received a new toy, he said in a somewhat strange tone:

"Lin Feng, what is this?"

Lin Feng scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, "My power suddenly surged by a lot, and my body still can't quite keep up!"

"Your body... are you alright?"

"Ah?" Lin Feng's face looked somewhat confused, "My body is very good, there's nothing wrong..."

Sect Master Du Busi had black lines all over his head. He reached out his palm and placed it on Lin Feng's shoulder, urging a trace of Soul Power to inspect his body's Meridians.

After sensing the strength of his body, even with Sect Master Du Busi's composure, he couldn't help but be startled. However, he quickly calmed down and began to inspect whether there were any hidden dangers.

Lin Feng scratched his head and did not resist Sect Master Du Busi's investigation. If he wanted to look, then let him look; anyway, the Blade of Life's Watch had also been hidden by him in the Eye of Life, so there was nothing much to see...

After checking one more time and confirming that there were indeed no physical hidden dangers left behind, Sect Master Du Busi finally set his heart at ease.

He patted his shoulder firmly with his palm, and said with a smile on his face: "Good lad, you truly did not disappoint me; you really managed to pull through under the impact of the Soul Power..."

Haha...

Lin Feng laughed awkwardly; in reality, it couldn't really be said that he pulled through relying on his Physical Body.

After all, if there really hadn't been the help of the gold of life, he would most likely have failed the Fusion. The Soul Power of a one hundred thousand year Spirit Beast was too violent and too powerful, and he only succeeded in absorbing it while in a state bordering on the limit of death!
