A deep black soul ring floated up from the dusa Queen. Due to the ti limit on soul rings, Chen Ming had no choice but to suppress his curiosity about the soul bone for now. Using his spiritual power, he temporarily suppressed the lingering consciousness within it and stored it in his Hundred Treasures Purse. Then, he began to absorb the soul ring.
As the soul ring was absorbed, the ritual process sealed by the world's consciousness resud. The black soul ring was first assimilated into Chen Ming's body, then lted under an unseen force and integrated into his red fifth soul ring.
Using the dusa Queen's soul ring as a key, Chen Ming successfully entered the phase of selecting soul skills.
Before him, a variety of soul skills appeared. Many of them weren't even supposed to qualify as soul skills, but since the dusa Queen was a divine beast, many of her abilities had been elevated to the level of soul skills.
Commanding Serpents, Super Strength, Attack Enhancent, Defense Enhancent, Snake Hair, Petrification Ray, Death Shriek...
Among this vast array of abilities were many skills the dusa Queen had demonstrated or used in battle. However, Chen Ming's goal was clear. He swiftly filtered out the unnecessary soul skills, leaving only a few special ones before him.
"Petrification, dusa's Gaze, Ti Freeze... Forget about Death Shriek for now. I can add a large-scale ntal attack skill later."
In the classification of soul skills, Petrification and dusa's Gaze were not the sa skill.
The venom of this dusa carried the trait of petrification. If Chen Ming had absorbed this skill, he could use venom to turn living beings or objects into stone.
On the other hand, dusa's Gaze was a ntal-type skill. It first created a spiritual mark on the target, which then triggered the petrification. While similar in appearance, the two skills operated on entirely different principles.
Ti Freeze was a unique skill that could freeze ti within a small area. Though it consud an imnse amount of energy, its effects were incredibly powerful—a true ti-related soul skill of extraordinary rarity.
Ti-related abilities were even rarer and more mysterious than space-related ones. Any skill that could manipulate ti was inherently powerful, without exception. Thus, this skill was naturally a priority choice for Chen Ming.
The characteristic of a 100,000-year soul ring was that it granted two soul skills. Though Chen Ming hadn't yet figured out the principle behind this, he was able to select two skills to assign to a single soul ring.
Now, Chen Ming was torn between dusa's Gaze and Petrification.
dusa's Gaze, being a ntal skill, was technically more valuable than Petrification. However, this skill was also sothing Dugu Bo possessed, aning Chen Ming could potentially study it via Dugu Bo. anwhile, Petrification added a unique property to venom, which Chen Ming could also potentially replicate by refining the dusa Queen's corpse to obtain its toxins.
After much deliberation, Chen Ming ultimately chose dusa's Gaze as his ntal-type skill, pairing it with Ti Freeze as his soul ring abilities.
As the process completed, the previously hidden half-thread of gold in his soul ring reappeared. The power within the dusa Queen's soul ring was broken down and absorbed, gradually increasing the soul ring's age.
Though this transformation incurred so energy loss, the accumulation from the dusa Queen's 80,000-year soul ring was sufficient to compensate. The missing half-thread of gold was finally completed, and the power contained within began to reshape Chen Ming's body.
His vitality increased, his physical strength surged, his spiritual power intensified, and even his desires grew stronger.
When Chen Ming opened his eyes again, the aura radiating from his body instantly suppressed Dugu Bo's martial soul. For a mont, Dugu Bo couldn't even maintain his martial soul possession state.
Chen Ming stretched his body, a series of sharp cracking sounds echoing like popcorn bursts. Although his height didn't increase further this ti, he could feel that his body's density had greatly improved. His skin and flesh had beco so resilient that even without using soul power, he could easily resist the attacks of lower-tier soul masters.
Once Chen Ming finished absorbing the soul ring, Dugu Bo approached him, letting out a sigh of relief after confirming he was unhard. He then began inquiring about the dusa Queen.
"That dusa Queen must have been a descendant of the dusa God left behind on the Douluo Continent. Divine blood flows through her veins. By all rights, divine beasts shouldn't exist on the continent anymore, but she seems to be an exception."
"Because the dusa God has already fallen, this dusa Queen inherited the dusa God's divine weapon and a fragnted divine position. That's how she defied the norm and beca a divine beast in this era."
Chen Ming took out the Soul Devouring dal, followed by the head soul bone dropped by the dusa Queen. After examining it for a mont, a peculiar smile appeared on his face, unnerving Dugu Bo, who was already on edge.
"This dusa Queen may have been the direct descendant of the dusa God, but she was nothing more than a pawn. Not only does the Soul Devouring dal contain the dusa God's lingering spirit, but part of the dusa God's divine consciousness has also been implanted into her soul through the divine position."
"The lingering consciousness within this soul bone doesn't even belong to the dusa Queen—it's the divine consciousness of the dusa God."
"If things had continued as they were, this dusa Queen would have either died under heavenly tribulation or been possessed by the dusa God's lingering consciousness hidden within the divine position, becoming nothing more than a vessel for the dusa God's resurrection."
After hearing Chen Ming's explanation, Dugu Bo's expression turned resolute.
"Xiao Ming, why don't we destroy this soul bone?"
Destroying an 80,000-year soul bone, especially one from a divine beast, was akin to tearing out Dugu Bo's heart. However, as a senior, Dugu Bo genuinely didn't want his imnsely talented junior to encounter any dangers because of this.
After all, their original goal was the soul ring, and the soul bone was just an unexpected bonus. The fact that the soul bone contained the lingering consciousness of a god and could evoke malice in one's heart made it clear that it wasn't sothing good.
Dugu Bo was genuinely afraid that Chen Ming might end up as the vessel for the dusa God's resurrection.
"Grandpa, don't worry. If the dusa God were still alive, I definitely wouldn't stand a chance. But now, all that's left is a fragnt of her consciousness. If anyone should be afraid, it's her."
Hearing Chen Ming's words, Dugu Bo suddenly rembered how extraordinary this grandson-in-law of his was. It seed increasingly likely that Chen Ming was the reincarnation of so god from the Divine Realm.
After a mont of contemplation, Dugu Bo gave Chen Ming a complicated look and chose to remain silent. He understood that his knowledge and comprehension of the world's rules were far inferior to Chen Ming's. If Chen Ming said there was no problem, then there truly wasn't anything to worry about.
