Tuoba Yan's eyes were filled with excitement. "Yes, Grandpa, this is an external soul bone!"
The external soul bone ranks second on the dream list, second only to the 100,000-year soul ring that Tuoba Yan has already obtained.
Tuoba Yan felt that the ranking of external soul bones should be higher than that of soul rings with a lifespan of 100,000 years.
A spirit ring with a lifespan of 100,000 years can be obtained by hunting spirit beasts.
Not only in the Star Dou Great Forest and the Far Northern Snowfield, but also in the ocean, there are a considerable number of soul beasts with a lifespan of 100,000 years. This is especially true in the deep sea.
External soul bones are different.
External soul bones can evolve. As a soul master's strength increases, their external soul bones will also become more powerful.
This alone makes it more valuable than a soul ring with a lifespan of 100,000 years.
Tuoba Yan touched the Eight Spider Spears and felt a chill.
Since his debut, Tuoba Yan has obtained soul bones and soul rings with a lifespan of 100,000 years, but he has not obtained any external soul bones.
Of all the things he knew, he only knew that killing the Evil Eye Tyrant and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear could yield external soul bones.
The core area of the Star Dou Great Forest is inaccessible for the time being. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear cannot be killed there.
The Evil Eye Tyrant resides on the other side of the sea on the Sun and Moon Continent. Leaving aside the fact that the Evil Eye Tyrant is incredibly powerful, Tuoba Yan's current strength is insufficient to cross that vast ocean.
"Grandson, absorb it, I will protect you!"
Tuoba Xi's eyes were filled with excitement. He was genuinely excited that his grandson was about to obtain an external soul bone.
Looking across the world of Soul Masters, Tuoba Xi only knew that Bibi Dong possessed an external Soul Bone.
External soul bones are also a synonym for power.
Tuoba Yan stopped talking nonsense and sat cross-legged.
The method for absorbing external soul bones is the same as that for absorbing soul bones.
Simply apply it to the body part and let it blend in.
Tuoba Yan channeled his soul power, enveloping the Eight Spider Spears. The soul power, like his arms, pressed the Eight Spider Spears against his back.
As soon as he pressed the Eight Spider Spears onto his back with his soul power, Tuoba Yan felt a cool suction force coming from his palm.
Unlike the docile nature of ordinary soul bones, this external soul bone actively followed the trajectory of soul power and burrowed into the flesh. The pointed bone blade gently scraped against the skin, as if it were a living thing, searching for a gap to fuse with.
He gritted his teeth and stabilized his soul power output, trying to channel the energy of the Eight Spider Lances into his meridians. But as soon as he made contact, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his back, as if countless fine needles were piercing his bone marrow along his spine.
"Don't let your soul power dissipate! Let it flow along your meridians!"
Tuoba Xi's voice came from the side.
An aged hand pressed on Tuoba Yan's shoulder, and a gentle yet powerful soul force surged in, helping him stabilize his chaotic aura.
Tuoba Yan took a deep breath and mobilized his soul power to contain the restless energy of the Eight Spider Spears like a dam.
But this external soul bone was unruly. Dark purple energy suddenly exploded and rushed along his meridians to his limbs. Wherever it passed, the meridians swelled up as if they were about to burst, and even the bones made a soft "creaking" sound.
He looked down at his arm and saw pale purple spiderweb-like patterns emerging under his skin. The patterns spread continuously with the energy flow of the Eight Spider Lances, and even his fingertips began to feel slightly numb.
When ordinary soul bones are fused, only soul power is needed to guide them. However, this Eight Spider Lances is like an unruly beast, absorbing his soul power while penetrating into his bones.
A sudden, sharp pain shot through his shoulder blades, and Tuoba Yan couldn't help but groan. His forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat. He could clearly feel the joints of the Eight Spider Spears slowly snapping into his shoulder blades. Each snap felt like a blunt instrument striking his bones, causing his muscles to tense up in pain.
"Hold on! It's already difficult for an external soul bone to recognize its master; it's testing your endurance! Just like absorbing a soul ring, you must remain clear-headed!"
Tuoba Xi's soul power grew increasingly dense, forming a pale golden shield around Tuoba Yan, isolating him from external interference.
Tuoba Yan clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, and gathered all the soul power in his body into his back.
When his soul power collided completely with the energy of the Eight Spider Lances, his vision blurred, and his back felt like it had been hit by a heavy hammer. He leaned forward, and a mouthful of bloody sweetness rose to his throat, but he forced it back down.
He knew that if he gave up now, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
The Eight Spider Spears seemed to sense his determination; the restless energy gradually calmed down and began to merge into his bones along the trajectory of his soul power.
The stinging pain in my back slowly turned into a soreness, as if countless warm currents were repairing the torn meridians.
The eight bone spears stopped struggling wildly and slowly protruded from his back, their tips gradually softening their eerie glow.
Tuoba Yan could clearly feel that his soul power was intertwined with the energy of the Eight Spider Spears, forming a strange resonance.
He tried to move his mind, and a bone spear trembled slightly, with a slightly cold touch, yet it fit his body perfectly.
After an unknown amount of time, when the first rays of dawn shone through the protective barrier onto Tuoba Yan, the eight spider spears on his back finally stabilized, and a faint halo of soul power covered the pale purple bone spears.
He slowly opened his eyes, raised his hand and touched the bone spear on his back. The cool touch was gone, and the previous stinging pain was gone.
Tuoba Xi withdrew his hand, his face full of satisfaction. "It's done! Yan'er, congratulations! You now possess a priceless external soul bone!"
Tuoba Yan stood up, stretched his body, and the Eight Spider Spears moved flexibly according to his will.
Standing in front of the mirror, Tuoba Yan rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.
Tuoba Xi asked, "Yan'er, what are you thinking about?"
Tuoba Yan said, "External soul bones evolve gradually as the soul master's level increases. I am already a six-ring Soul Emperor. It's a waste to let it miss the opportunity to evolve to six soul rings. I'm thinking again, my talismans can control different powers, and the Eight Spider Lances have the ability to devour. I wonder if I can devour some of the energy on the talismans."
If the Eight Spider Lances can absorb the energy of the talisman, then it will surely bring about incredible changes to the Eight Spider Lances.
Tuoba Xi said, "Let's give it a try!"
Let's get right to it.
With the martial spirit possessing him, Tuoba Yan moved his mind, and six talismans began to rotate around him.
Tuoba Yan took out the first horse talisman.
The Horse Talisman possesses the power of nine cycles of holy healing.
When Tuoba Yan's spear, controlled by the Eight Spider Spears, touched the Horse Talisman, a surge of energy was continuously absorbed by the spear.
"It's done!"
"Yan'er, stop!"
To Tuoba Yan's surprise, Tuoba Xi urgently called a halt to Tuoba Yan's successful experiment.
Tuoba Yan asked in confusion, "Grandpa, why did you tell me to stop?"
Tuoba Xi pointed to Tuoba Yan's first gray spirit ring and said, "Look at your first spirit ring, its age has changed!"
Tuoba Yan looked down at the first spirit ring beneath his feet.
Because the talisman left the Holy Lord's Martial Soul, not only did the Holy Lord's Martial Soul turn into a coiled stone statue, but even the first Soul Ring turned gray.
That's not the point.
The key point is that the first spirit ring is missing one engraving.
This means that the lifespan of the spirit ring has been reduced by one hundred years.
