Metamorphosis: The Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Skull

Chapter 59 Metamorphosis: The Million-Year-Old Spirit Skull

In the darkness, time passed incredibly quickly.

Shen Hanyu sat cross-legged quietly, like an old monk in meditation. His skin became incredibly translucent, and pure energy flashed beneath it from time to time, emitting a faint glow.

The energy within Tianmeng's body was immense; all Shen Hanyu could do was accept it as much as possible, sealing most of it back into his body to absorb slowly in the future.

This procedure may even continue until Shen Hanyu breaks through to the Title Douluo level. During this period, this extremely pure energy will exist as another form of "power bank" for Shen Hanyu, and at critical moments it can play a role no less than various rare and precious materials.

Of course, Tianmeng brings more than just these benefits. As the first million-year-old spirit and ice dual-attribute soul beast on the continent, even if it doesn't have the strength to match other powerful soul beasts, its age is undeniable, something that other powerful soul beasts cannot compare to.

A million-year-old spirit ring, radiating a platinum-gold light, landed steadily in Shen Hanyu's seventh spirit ring position.

This is different from the white spirit ring that appeared when Tianmeng sacrificed herself to Huo Yuhao ten thousand years later, which sealed most of her power. The spirit ring on Shen Hanyu's body completely exudes the powerful energy of a million-year spirit beast, and the energy contained in it even exceeds the total of several hundred-thousand-year spirit rings.

The spirit ring was also a sacred white-gold color, which was clearly different from the white ten-year spirit ring at a glance. Even compared with the ten-thousand-year spirit ring from the Fallen Sea Monster, it was still incredibly dazzling.

Although Shen Hanyu and Tianmeng were happy to have achieved their goal, Dugu Bo above them had a completely dark expression.

The spiritual fluctuations emitted when Tianmeng made her sacrifice earlier attracted almost all the powerful soul beasts in the Sunset Forest to this area.

In the past few days, almost all the powerful forces on the mainland have sent people into Sunset Forest to investigate.

If it weren't for the dense forests and towering cliffs surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, which almost completely enveloped this small world, it wouldn't have been discovered by the scouts.

Of course, even if it is discovered, it probably won't cause much of a stir.

With Dugu Bo here, the idea of ​​most forces can be dispelled. Of course, this doesn't exclude those mindless lunatics.

Although there is no great danger, it is extremely tiring to be on guard against spies in the surrounding area every day, and one can imagine how much mental energy is wasted on it.

After waiting for a few days, Dugu Yan quietly returned to the Tiandou Royal Academy to attend classes, as if nothing had happened, and continued to live a very regular life.

She knew very well that she couldn't get involved in this matter casually, otherwise, if something was accidentally leaked, there was a possibility that some people might resort to desperate measures.

As time went by, the number of searches conducted by various forces decreased, and the time spent on each search also decreased.

To expend so much manpower and resources on the spiritual fluctuations emitted by an unknown powerhouse is a business where the cost and reward are worlds apart. It's estimated that apart from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Spirit Hall, there are probably only a handful of such forces on the entire continent.

…………

Our gaze returns to the Yin-Yang symbol of ice and fire.

Shen Hanyu had finished absorbing the energy and opened his deep, dark eyes. He was slowly exhaling and feeling the tremendous changes that had taken place in his body.

His already vast meridians were further strengthened and consolidated, and his soul power circulated more rapidly and smoothly. His bones had been tempered and nourished countless times since childhood, and with the terrifying gains from the Heavenly Dream sacrifice, Shen Hanyu's entire skeleton had turned into a blue-green color like ten-thousand-year-old ice, and its hardness was comparable to many rare metals.

The biggest improvement was in soul power. Although it only increased by three levels, the quality and quantity of soul power underwent an astonishing change, far exceeding the soul power of soul masters of the same level. This also meant a terrifying combat power far exceeding that of soul masters of the same level.

At the same time, Shen Hanyu's spiritual sea also underwent earth-shattering changes. The already clear spiritual sea expanded several times over, and incomplete sky and land appeared. This was an astonishing change. Shen Hanyu's spiritual sea was evolving into a spiritual inner world, which also meant that his spiritual power was undergoing a transformation and evolving towards a higher level.

Tianmeng lay comfortably on a lush green lawn, a blade of grass dangling from her mouth, humming an unknown tune, looking completely relaxed and carefree.

Shen Hanyu surveyed his current spiritual sea, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He hadn't expected his spiritual sea to undergo such a change; at least in the long history of records on the continent, no soul master had ever witnessed such a strange phenomenon.

This change reminded him of the otherworld in the high-level fantasy novels he had read in his previous life. Although he didn't know why, it was all a good thing.

Tianmeng lazily rolled over, as if finally realizing what was happening, and said somewhat languidly:

"Hanyu, you've also seen the changes in your spiritual sea. Although I don't know what happened, I can clearly feel that this place is like a small plane that is still in its early stages of development. It can continuously improve as your strength increases. I have a feeling that as long as you are strong enough, your spiritual sea can continuously transform into a complete world plane. At that time, no one can harm you spiritually, and you can even freely enter this plane to avoid irresistible damage."

Tianmeng's words stirred Shen Hanyu's blood. No powerful Soul Master could refuse such a divine skill, not even a god...

"Oh, right, Hanyu, and the skull I condensed, I've already put it into your soul tool. I've integrated over 70% of my spiritual essence into this soul bone. Once you fuse with this soul bone, your spiritual power can actually enter what you humans call the Super Douluo level. Of course, this is without my help."

Shen Hanyu's pupils shrank slightly. He had already absorbed a lot of Tianmeng's spiritual essence, as well as the Wangchuanqiushui Dew that only affected spiritual power. Moreover, although the soul bone from the 100,000-year-old fallen sea monster was a leg bone, it still carried some spiritual attributes. After several enhancements, his spiritual power had long since reached the level of an ordinary Title Douluo.

However, the gap between a Title Douluo and a Super Douluo is enormous. Even in terms of spiritual power, it is still difficult to make any progress. This time, with the convenience brought by Tianmeng's sacrifice, it seems that he can break through the barrier that was difficult to break through before in one fell swoop, and may even be able to step into a higher level. This is also a great opportunity.
