Chapter 105 - Chapter 105: Invincibility + Silence! Recognizing a Master Artifact!

Hearing Tang Lan's price, Gu Rong was momentarily stunned.

Then, with disbelief, he said, "That's all?"

Huh.

What?

Seriously?!

It wasn't that he thought the price was too high—he thought it was too cheap!

"If you think it's too little," Tang Lan tested, "if the soul bone's age isn't high enough, you can add a few more ten-thousand-year soul bones?"

He even felt like he was being a bit greedy.

However—

"No problem!"

Gu Rong agreed immediately.

"Soul bones? Don't worry about that, Xiao Lan!"

"I'll head back right now and have Fengzhi mobilize the entire sect to search!"

"By the way, when do you need them?"

Tang Lan gave him a three-day deadline.

Gu Rong practically bolted.

Activating his Black Mist Spatial Gates, he vanished in just a few blinks.

'Tsk, tsk, tsk!'

'Why are all these bone martial soul guys so damn fast?'

'Is it because they're just bones and have less weight to carry?'

Tang Lan made a few jokes to himself.

Then, he activated his Blue Silver Domain, and the Life Soul Heart on his chest glowed.

His Evil Eye emerged.

—Soul Bone Skill: Marking!

A massive surge of inner energy erupted as he used his Blue Silver Emperor's authority to send a command through all the Blue Silver Grass in the Heaven Dou Empire.

Within seconds,

His enormous reserves of Nine Yang Divine Skill's inner energy were completely drained.

This energy passed from one Blue Silver Grass to another, transmitting the message across great distances.

Over a hundred kilometers away, in a peaceful grove full of birds and flowers—

Tang Hao sat cross-legged beneath a Blue Silver Emperor, cultivating Nine Yang Divine Skill.

Suddenly!

He sensed something, his eyes snapping open.

The surrounding Blue Silver Grass glowed, forming radiant symbols that floated in the air.

"Tang Sect, Heaven Dou City. Come at once!"

Tang Hao's pupils contracted!

He stood up abruptly, gazing toward Heaven Dou City, his Title Douluo aura bursting forth!

"Xiao Lan, wait for me!"

Without hesitation, he relocated the Blue Silver Emperor, then shot into the sky and flew off at high speed.

Inside Tang Sect

Receiving feedback from the Blue Silver Grass, Tang Lan knew Tang Hao was on his way.

Immediately, he activated his Soul Bone Skill: Reset, fully recovering his condition.

'Damn, this soul bone skill is seriously convenient.'

Then, he controlled the Blue Silver Grass outside, covering the entire reception building—

Sealing off all exits.

He wasn't in a rush to deal with the main event just yet.

'System, extract the soul bone.'

A pure white left foot bone materialized out of thin air, looking as pristine as top-tier Hetian white jade—

The 2000-year-old External Soul Bone—Meteor Scorpion Left Foot!

Tang Lan began absorbing it.

At first, he thought the process would be quick—after all, it was just a 2000-year-old External Soul Bone.

But unexpectedly—

Once the Meteor Scorpion Left Foot fused, it began devouring his inner energy like a mad beast!

Even with the Nine Yang Divine Skill'sinexhaustible energy, he could barely keep up with its hunger.

At a terrifying speed, his inner energy plummeted.

But in exchange—

The Meteor Scorpion Left Foot's aura was continuously strengthening!

—So, this External Soul Bone evolves simply by absorbing energy?!

No—!

More accurately, it grows alongside the user's cultivation level!

It functioned similarly to his Innate Spirit Rings.

Since Tang Lan was currently a Five-Ring Soul King, far beyond the 2000-year limit,

The soul bone evolved accordingly.

Seeing this,

Tang Lan decided not to rush absorbing the Haotian Treasure Mirror (Hanhai Qiankun Cover) just yet.

Instead, he sent out another message.

Half a minute later

Zhao Wuji came rushing over in a frenzy.

As soon as he got close—

A Life Soul Blue Silver Emperorcoiled around him, siphoning his inner energy.

The Misty Purple Qi from his Nine Yang Divine Skill (Level 2) was instantly converted and absorbed to fuel the Meteor Scorpion Left Foot's evolution.

At first, Zhao Wuji didn't think much of it.

But when half his inner energy was drained, he started to panic!

Something was wrong!

He was a Seven-Ring Soul Sage!

With his inner energy compressed by the Misty Purple Qi, his reserves were even greater than usual.

Half his energy…

Could probably fill up over a hundred Five-Ring Soul Kings!

How the hell was Tang Lan still absorbing?!

Zhao Wuji didn't dare slack off. He immediately began meditating to recover.

At the same time, he pulled out a century-old Fire Mountain Ginseng, chewed it up, and swallowed it.

Yet even with that—

He still couldn't keep up with the loss. His inner energy kept plummeting at an alarming rate.

Finally—

When he was down to 10%, the Life Soul Blue Silver Emperor released him.

Zhao Wuji let out a long sigh of relief.

He tried to stand up—only for his legs to buckle, making him fall flat on his ass again.

Only by bracing against his knees did he manage to get up.

"Patriarch, next time, call more people for this!" Zhao Wuji said fearfully. "Your absorption nearly drained me dry!"

"Thanks, Old Zhao," Tang Lan's voice came. "Keep practicing the Undying Seal Technique. Once you master it, I'll have something great for you."

"Got it!" Zhao Wuji grinned. "Call me again if you need me!"

And he swiftly left.

Inside the Room

Tang Lan examined his left foot. The aura radiating from the Meteor Scorpion Left Foot was now—

57,000 years!

'My Nine Yang Divine Skill's inner energy is only ten times that of others in my rank.'

'At best, it's comparable to a soul bone of around 20,000 years.'

'But my physique, strengthened by five Innate Spirit Rings, is at the level of a Seven-Ring Soul Sage.'

'It seems this soul bone scales with my physical strength!'

This was fantastic.

And the soul bone skill was absolutely broken—

Meteor Destruction Step!

A stomp with his left foot creates a 5.7-meter shockwave that erases all damage below 5.7 levels higher than the soul bone itself!

Though the range was short and the requirement high—

It erased all damage!

Soul skills, soul bone skills, self-created techniques—

All rendered ineffective!

Even if someone used Martial Soul Avatar, if they were within range, they'd be shattered!

Even more absurd—

Meteor Destruction Step also inflicted a deadly Scorpion Poison, causing enemies to be unable to use any soul ring skills for 5.7 seconds.

Invincibility + Silence.

Literally invincible to the point of silencing the enemy!

Best of all—

The "self-level" it scaled from was based on the soul bone's level, not his own.

And the Meteor Scorpion Left Foot was now around 77,000 years.

Against anyone below level 82.7, Tang Lan was confident he could kill them!

'Damn!'

'This External Soul Bone is insane!'

The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he was.

Totally worth squeezing Zhao Wuji dry.

Now, onto the Main Event—

Tang Lan rubbed his hands together and pulled out today's big prize—

The Haotian Treasure Mirror (Hanhai Qiankun Cover)!

Looking at the glowing blue triangular prism, his breathing grew slightly heavier.

As the key to unlocking Poseidon's Nine Trials, it was practically a shortcut to godhood.

What kind of system reward would he get for stealing this fortune?

'Let's bind it first and find out.'

Tang Lan didn't make the same mistake as a certain idiot—who tried to probe it with spiritual power and nearly killed himself.

—Snow Night Emperor explicitly said to inject soul power, but that guy just had to use spiritual power…

Inside this artifact was a wisp of Poseidon's divine consciousness.

Why poke the beehive?

With high expectations,

Tang Lan pressed the Haotian Treasure Mirror to his palm, preparing to perform a blood-recognition binding.

But then—

"SCREEEEECH—"

A harsh metallic scraping sound rang out, accompanied by a burst of golden light.

The Haotian Treasure Mirror…

Failed to pierce his Vajra Indestructible Body?!

"Eh?"

Wasn't this supposed to be an artifact? Why was it so damn weak?
