Jiang Chen opened his eyes with a slight sense of surprise.
He had thought that absorbing this sixty-thousand-year soul ring would involve enduring a painful ordeal.
In the end, it was much easier than he had imagined.
"It should be because my physique improved tremendously during that year in Slaughter City. Otherwise, I should only have been able to absorb a fifty-thousand-year soul ring."
He cultivated both systems at the same time. The blood-sucking that enhanced his zombie cultivation had little amplification effect on his soul master cultivation.
However, a powerful physique brought enormous benefits when absorbing soul rings.
Even so, absorbing this sixty-thousand-year soul ring had nearly exhausted all the soul power in his body.
Fortunately, after the breakthrough, his soul power was replenished once more, becoming many times stronger than before.
Crossing a major rank would bring a noticeable increase in strength.
He carefully sensed the changes in his body. Back when he was in Slaughter City, his zombie cultivation had already reached the fifth level, one major rank higher than his soul master cultivation.
Over the past year or so, besides Yu Tianheng, he had absorbed the blood of quite a few humans in the Star Luo Empire, as well as that of the previous fifty-thousand-year Bright Holy Lion. Combined with the improvement from his cultivation technique, he had felt some time ago that his zombie cultivation was on the verge of breaking through.
Sure enough, after absorbing this ten-thousand-year soul ring, his zombie cultivation had risen to the sixth level.
Sensing something, he stood up. With a thought, he actually floated into the air, rising more than ten meters high before rapidly flying toward the outside of the valley.
The three Title Douluo exchanged glances, their faces filled with shock.
The Holy Son had actually flown.
But what shocked them was not this. It was that no soul ring on Jiang Chen's body had lit up, nor was there any fluctuation from using a soul skill.
It was as if this flying ability were an innate talent that Jiang Chen was born with.
The three hurriedly chased after him.
Outside the valley, Jiang Chen landed with satisfaction.
"Sixth level, and I actually gained the ability to fly. This should be the legendary Flying Zombie realm, right?" Jiang Chen murmured to himself.
"Holy Son, what is a Flying Zombie?" Chrysanthemum Douluo had just arrived and immediately heard Jiang Chen's mutterings. He was extremely curious about this unfamiliar and mysterious realm.
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's one of my innate abilities."
He did not explain further. Even if he did, these three old men wouldn't understand.
Suddenly, his expression stirred. The third soul ring on his body lit up. A wisp of pure heavenly tribulation energy surged from the corpse core within his body. His figure vanished and reappeared three hundred meters away.
"Hm? The teleportation distance actually increased?" Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised, and a brilliant smile appeared on his face.
There had been quite a few pleasant surprises today.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were shocked once again. They had been present when Jiang Chen first obtained the teleportation skill.
At that time, Jiang Chen could only teleport a hundred meters. Now, it had actually increased to three hundred meters.
Could this skill continue to evolve?
They chased after him again. The current Holy Son had aroused intense curiosity in them; they wanted to get to the bottom of it.
When they caught up, they found Jiang Chen staring blankly at a rabbit in front of him.
It was a Flexible Bone Rabbit with around three thousand years of cultivation.
Jiang Chen's sudden appearance had startled it greatly. It had warily stared at Jiang Chen for a moment.
When it tried to flee, the three Title Douluo arrived.
Chrysanthemum Douluo noticed that Jiang Chen seemed interested in this rabbit. A terrifying aura locked onto the rabbit that was trying to escape, rendering it immobile.
"Holy Son, is there something wrong with this rabbit?"
Jiang Chen shook his head and smiled. "It's nothing. I just thought of an old friend and got a little lost in thought."
With that, he looked at the rabbit, opened his mouth, and took a fierce breath.
Something terrifying happened.
The rabbit was still about ten meters away from Jiang Chen. It had already been extremely frightened by Chrysanthemum Douluo's oppressive aura.
But now, with Jiang Chen's inhalation, the rabbit's entire body began to tremble. Then its two red eyes burst open. Large amounts of blood mixed with the essence of its flesh and bloodshot out from its eye sockets and flew toward Jiang Chen's mouth.
In just a few seconds, this three-thousand-year-old Flexible Bone Rabbit was reduced to nothing but skin and bones, dead beyond death.
The three Douluo were horrified once more. They even felt a trace of chill, and their backs suddenly turned cold.
They had not sensed Jiang Chen using any soul skill this time either. Could this be another innate ability?
Just how many kinds of innate abilities did the Holy Son possess?
Jiang Chen was quite satisfied. This ability was even stronger than the blood-sucking ability of his zombie domain.
If the two abilities were used together, the effect would be extremely terrifying.
Seeing the somewhat fearful expressions on the three Title Douluo's faces, Jiang Chen couldn't help but find it amusing.
"Three Elders, this ability of mine can currently only deal with some relatively weak creatures. It's still far from being able to threaten Title Douluo."
The three Douluo smiled bitterly.
Dugu Bo said, "We know that. I'm afraid that once you reach the Title Douluo realm in the future, ordinary Title Douluo won't be able to withstand even one breath from you."
Only then did Jiang Chen understand why the three Title Douluo were afraid.
Anyone would fear such evil, demonic methods.
"Three Elders, rest assured. You are all meritorious ministers who are loyal to the Spirit Hall. I will need to rely on you a lot in the future."
The three Elders smiled, feeling rather comfortable after being praised by Jiang Chen.
"By the way, Holy Son, we still don't know what soul skill you obtained," Chrysanthemum Douluo asked.
"Honored Elders, try the power of my fifth soul skill: Death Tombstone," Jiang Chen laughed loudly.
"Come on." The three Title Douluos were eager to give it a try.
Jiang Chen's fifth soul ring lit up. Above the heads of Chrysanthemum Douluo and the other two, a dense cluster of tombstones suddenly appeared. The bottoms of the tombstones were as sharp as sword tips as they smashed down fiercely.
The mental power of Title Douluo was incredibly strong. They had already detected it the moment the tombstones appeared.
These tombstones emitted an endless aura of death and locked onto the three Chrysanthemum Douluo.
The three Title Douluo did not dodge. They released their soul power outward. The dense tombstones smashed into their soul power barriers with a loud boom and exploded.
Explosions rang out continuously. Immediately after, the surroundings were filled with a layer of gray gas, like thick fog.
"This gas is poisonous and can weaken people," Dugu Bo, who was most sensitive to poison, spoke first.
Once the tombstones had finished exploding, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo withdrew their released soul power and personally experienced the toxicity of the gray fog.
But in just an instant, their expressions changed. They hurriedly released their soul power again to isolate this terrifying gray fog.
With a thought from Jiang Chen, the large amount of gray fog surged toward his body and entered his fifth soul ring.
At the same time, he felt that the life essence within his body had increased slightly. It had been absorbed from the two Title Douluo.
"This toxicity can actually cause a person's life force to drain away," Chrysanthemum Douluo said in shock.
The usually taciturn Ghost Douluo also nodded. "Indeed, a very strange skill. Even I would die if I were eroded by this gray fog for a long time."
Dugu Bo added, "Moreover, the gray fog has extremely strong corrosive power against soul power. Combined with the explosive power of the tombstones, low-level soul masters would find it very difficult to resist with their released soul power."
Jiang Chen was very satisfied. The three Title Douluo's meaning was that this skill's power was quite good.
