"Wait... this Soul Bone... why does it feel so familiar? It's almost perfectly compatible with my aura!!!"
A Yin's gaze fixed onto the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone in Ye Feng's hand, unable to look away.
"This Soul Bone comes from the right leg of a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor, so naturally, it shares the same origin as you," Ye Feng explained with a smile.
"What... a Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone? Does that mean that bastard earlier killed a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor?!!!"
A Yin clenched her fists, an inexplicable fury surging in her heart.
"Well, you could say that."
Ye Feng nodded, finding no fault in A Yin's words.
Tang Hao had indeed killed a Blue Silver Emperor.
Knowing full well that his wife was a shape-shifted Blue Silver Emperor, yet he still paraded her around recklessly and provoked the Spirit Hall without restraint.
Wasn't that practically asking for A Yin's death?
Of course, A Yin did die in the end.
The current A Yin was her second life.
"Disgusting! Letting him die like that was far too merciful!" A Yin huffed angrily.
A Yin was a plant-type Soul Beast, and as a Blue Silver Emperor—one of the gentlest plant types—her temperament was much like a rabbit's, exceedingly kind and gentle.
Even after shape-shifting into human form, a large part of A Yin's heart still belonged to the Soul Beasts.
Not just A Yin, but even the Ice Empress was the same. After all, she had her own kin.
Though she had taken human form, if her kin ever needed her, she would undoubtedly return to help without hesitation.
"Alright, hurry up and absorb it. Only when A Yin grows stronger can you protect your kin~" Ye Feng said as he placed the right leg bone into A Yin's arms.
Generally speaking, absorbing a Soul Bone had its limitations.
A Soul Grandmaster would never be able to absorb a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone under normal circumstances.
But this hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone shared the same origin as A Yin—it might as well have been her own. Thus, absorbing it would naturally face no obstacles.
A Yin carefully took the Soul Bone from Ye Feng and gently pressed it against her right leg.
The bone instantly emitted a faint blue glow, swiftly merging into A Yin's right leg.
In an instant, waves of pure energy brimming with dense vitality erupted from A Yin's body, dispersing into the surroundings.
Both Ye Feng and the Ice Empress could clearly sense it.
Not only that, but the previously flattened terrain around them suddenly saw weeds and shrubs sprouting wildly—most of them Blue Silver Grass. In the blink of an eye, the area was lush and green, enveloping the three of them.
"Ye Feng, I want one too! I want one too~"
Seeing A Yin obtain such a treasure, the Ice Empress 's eyes filled with envy as she tugged at Ye Feng's arm, acting coquettishly.
Though she was proud, when faced with a treasure like a Soul Bone, she couldn't help but swallow her pride...
"Aren't you a shape-shifted Soul Beast? Don't you have your own Soul Bones?"
Ye Feng grinned teasingly.
"The essence of a Soul Bone is the fusion of a Soul Beast's life and Source Power! As long as my life and Source Power remain intact, how could I have a Soul Bone?!"
The Ice Empress 's face flushed red as she huffed, "My Soul Bone would only form after I sacrificed myself or died! A Yin got one, so I want one too! I don't care!!"
"Hahaha, alright, alright, I was just teasing you~"
Ye Feng noticed that the Ice Empress was getting a bit impatient, so he quickly crouched down and planted a kiss on her cheek to soothe her. "There are still two Soul Bones left here. Take a look and see which one suits you," he said.
As he spoke, Ye Feng handed the remaining two Soul Bones to the Ice Empress .
To be precise, these two Soul Bones were the Inheritance Soul Bones of the Clear Sky Sect.
However, due to the numerous times they had been passed down, even though they were both ten-thousand-year Soul Bones, much of their energy had been depleted, making their power slightly weaker compared to freshly obtained ten-thousand-year Soul Bones.
Still, these two Soul Bones were at least seventy to eighty thousand years old. Even though their power had diminished, they still retained the strength of thirty to forty-thousand-year Soul Bones, which was quite impressive.
"Hmm, I'll take this left leg Soul Bone," the Ice Empress hesitated for a moment before making her choice.
The two Soul Bones were actually quite similar, but she had a vague premonition that the left leg Soul Bone might suit her better.
Moreover, she wasn't greedy and wouldn't ask for more just because Ye Feng doted on her.
Although Soul Bones could significantly enhance combat power, she didn't really care about that.
Her goal was to become a god. As long as she could follow Ye Feng and achieve godhood, whether she had Soul Bones or not was irrelevant to her.
If she failed to become a god, then even if she had one set, two sets, or even a hundred sets of Soul Bones, it would all be useless—after a hundred years, they would just turn into dust.
"Alright, then this one it is," Ye Feng smiled and handed the left leg Soul Bone to the Ice Empress .
Truth be told, Ye Feng shared a similar mindset with the Ice Empress .
Soul Bones were optional—products of the lower-tier fantasy world. They might be somewhat useful in the Douluo Continent, but their effects would become negligible after achieving godhood.
After all, no god would rely on Soul Bone Abilities in battle.
Nor would any god be able to challenge opponents of higher levels just because of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone.
In the original story, Qian Renxue possessed a full set of top-tier Soul Bones, but after becoming a god, they were just... meh.
...
A short while later.
A Yin was the first to complete the absorption of her Soul Bone.
"So, what ability did you get?" Ye Feng asked with a smile.
"Hehe, this Soul Bone has two abilities—one is powerful recovery, and the other is flight~" A Yin said. Suddenly, a blue light flashed beneath her feet, lifting her into the air like a little fairy. She began flying and spinning around Ye Feng with incredible agility.
Even without wings, she could freely change her flight direction and posture, moving at high speed with remarkable flexibility.
"Not bad, not bad. That's a great ability~" Ye Feng casually pulled the airborne A Yin into his arms and gently pinched her cheeks, clearly in a good mood.
"Mmm... thank you, Master~" A Yin nestled into Ye Feng's embrace, clearly enjoying his affectionate touch, letting out soft, contented murmurs.
"Hey, hey, this isn't some deserted place. You two are going too far..." At this moment, the Ice Empress had also successfully absorbed her Soul Bone, her tone laced with a hint of complaint.
"So, what Soul Bone Skill did you get?" Ye Feng gently set A Yin down and turned to ask the Ice Empress .
"I got a 'charging' burst skill. My Soul Bone can accumulate Soul Power under normal circumstances and inject it into my Soul Skills at critical moments, allowing my other Soul Skills to explode with power, increasing their strength by at least threefold!" The Ice Empress was visibly pleased as she described the ability of her Soul Skill.
Although the charging time was a bit long and there was only one chance, the triple power could definitely play a significant role when used unexpectedly.
In addition, the enhancement effects on her physique and strength from the Soul Bone were also quite noticeable, increasing her combat power by at least fifty percent!
"Not a bad skill. If used well, it can easily overcome enemies and secure victory."
Ye Feng nodded with a smile.
However, Ye Feng was certain that this Soul Skill's charging had an upper limit.
For the Ice Empress , it might be just right.
But if it were given to him...
Even if the charging was maxed out, the enhancement would likely be negligible.
It was like a Chinese language exam—giving the standard answers to a poor student could make their score skyrocket several times over.
But giving the standard answers to a top student would only result in a minuscule improvement.
Just Ye Feng's Dragonification skill alone could make his bone strength surpass that of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone.
This was also the main reason Ye Feng couldn't be bothered to absorb Soul Bones.
Their level was too low, practically like trash, and using them might even pollute his body.
