When Xiao Wu heard Lin Yang's question, her gaze fell on the pearl in front of her. Her eyes paused slightly.
"I'll give it a try!"
Before Lin Yang could react, she grabbed the Birth Pearl and closed her eyes.
A faint red light appeared in her palm.
Lin Yang held his breath.
A moment later, Xiao Wu suddenly staggered, her face turning pale.
Lin Yang's expression changed. He immediately knocked the pearl out of her hand and helped Xiao Wu up.
"Xiao Wu? Xiao Wu?"
Xiao Wu opened her eyes, fatigue visible in her gaze.
"Lin Yang…"
"Are you okay?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Lin Yang didn't care about that at all. He noticed that the little rabbit had fallen into a state of spiritual energy deficiency and directly poured an entire bottle of blue medicine into her mouth.
After taking the medicine, Xiao Wu's complexion visibly recovered at a rapid pace.
Lin Yang poked her forehead in frustration.
"Don't you know how to be careful? Did you forget everything I taught you?"
The little rabbit stuck out her tongue and clung affectionately to his arm.
"Ah, I forgot for a moment. I got attacked by that dead tiger."
"Attacked?"
Lin Yang was shocked, then immediately became serious.
"A remnant soul?"
"Mm."
The little rabbit nodded, stood up, picked up the fallen Birth Pearl, placed it in front of Lin Yang, and said solemnly.
"A fragment of its soul is hidden in the deepest part, which is why you can't absorb the internal energy."
A chill ran down Lin Yang's spine. His expression turned grave as the word "possession" flashed through his mind.
Of course, it was overly optimistic to think that a mere fragment of its remnant soul could replace him. But in a desperate fight, it might still cause him considerable trouble.
And the most important thing now was that the remnant soul was hiding inside like a turtle, refusing to come out.
This toad crawling on my foot — doesn't it feel disgusting?
We have to find a way to extract and eliminate this remnant soul.
From Xiao Wu's words, it seemed the remnant soul was hidden deep within the Birth Pearl. If she hadn't used a bit of soul beast aura, she probably wouldn't have discovered it.
Lure it out?
Possession?
Lin Yang pondered for a moment, unconsciously tapping his knee rhythmically with his fingertips.
Is there a way to draw it out?
As if he had thought of something, Lin Yang turned his gaze to Aura, who was sleeping nearby. His eyes gradually brightened.
Aura might be able to do it.
Its soul and body were separable. Moreover, it was a tiger-type soul beast, so its aura should be very attractive to the remnant soul of the evil tiger.
Without hesitation, Lin Yang shook Aura awake and explained his plan.
"Nya!"
Aura immediately understood Lin Yang's intention. It pressed its claws against its own Birth Pearl while simultaneously using a trace of spiritual power to wrap around its own aura and stimulate the pearl.
As Aura's spiritual energy penetrated deeper, a layer of black light suddenly appeared on the pearl's surface. Along with Aura's spiritual energy, an extremely ferocious aura violently erupted.
"Receive it!"
At Lin Yang's low shout, Aura instantly severed its trace of spiritual power.
The ferocious aura moved at an astonishing speed. The moment it was cut off, it had already half-sprayed out along with the spiritual energy.
Lin Yang had been waiting for this moment.
The net he had constructed with his spiritual power instantly tightened, firmly binding the black figure.
A sharp roar exploded in Lin Yang's mind. Sensing Aura's presence, the enemy became even more ferocious and violent.
"Hmph!"
Lin Yang snorted coldly. His eyes instantly turned blood-red.
A powerful spiritual energy erupted, instantly annihilating the remnant soul of the Dark Demon God Tiger.
The moment the remnant soul disappeared, the black pearl suddenly released an evil, hair-raising aura.
Its desire for a ghost or spirit body grew even stronger.
"Xiao Wu, you can leave first."
Lin Yang's expression was solemn.
Xiao Wu nodded, picked up Aura, and headed toward the door. Before leaving, she gave him a worried final warning.
"Be careful."
Lin Yang nodded.
Once the door closed, he took a deep breath and created his skeleton clone. The clone stood quietly in the corner of the room.
If he made any mistake, the clone would immediately stop him.
After preparing, Lin Yang remotely activated his own Birth Pearl.
The moment he held it, his impatient Demon God Body — like a starving beast — instantly began absorbing power from the pearl.
An evil, cold, and domineering force surged into his body like a flood breaking through a dam.
The moment this power entered his body, Lin Yang felt as though he had been thrown into an ice cave.
Cold!
Freezing cold!
This was no ordinary cold. It was a soul-freezing, bone-chilling cold that flowed through his meridians to every corner of his body — blood, organs, bone marrow…
Wherever it went, everything seemed to freeze.
Lin Yang frowned and focused his mind on his spiritual cultivation, desperately reciting the Great Sun Meditation Method.
At that moment, a strong killing intent surged within him. Lin Yang's pupils instantly turned red.
As if sensing that this evil power was trying to seize his spirit, the massive sun in his spiritual sea suddenly released an extremely powerful yang light.
Under this light, the evil power melted away like first snow.
Meanwhile, the Demon God Body began to exert its power — not only resisting the erosion of the evil force but also constantly devouring it and forcibly converting it into its own strength.
Time passed minute by minute.
He didn't know how long it had been.
The initial resistance of the evil energy gradually weakened and was eventually completely purified.
Lin Yang opened his eyes. A dark light flashed in his pupils.
The light was fleeting.
He looked down at his palm. The Birth Pearl that should have been there had disappeared. Its energy was completely gone.
Instead —
At his feet, a pitch-black spirit ring had suddenly appeared.
The fifth spirit ring of the Demon God Body!
At the same time, with a faint tearing sound, a pair of pure black wings burst out from his back and spread wide.
The wings were about three meters long, completely pitch-black with no other colors visible. When they vibrated lightly, faint gray air currents formed.
Not only that — a pale white bony tail extended from his tailbone, over a meter long, with a curved hook at the tip. It swayed slowly in the air.
External spirit bone: Evil God Wings.
External spirit bone: Evil God Hook.
Another double victory!
Ironically, although his six main bones had not absorbed any spirit bones, he now possessed five external spirit bones.
And his own appearance was becoming increasingly less human-like.
