Rizhao City, outskirts.
After confirming that the Evil Emperor hadn't chased after them, Bai Zhou breathed a huge sigh of relief.
This place is more than 100 kilometers away from Evil Forest, which seems far, but with Evil Emperor's abilities, he can reach it in an instant.
Fortunately, Bai Zhou ran fast.
Furthermore, the Evil Emperor should have just been awakened from seclusion and cannot act immediately, otherwise... Bai Zhou might be forced to use his trump card to escape.
"Another round of savings."
Bai Zhou secretly rejoiced, thinking that it's best not to use your life-saving trump card if you can avoid it, and ideally, you'd never need to use it in your entire life.
After confirming that it was safe, Bai Zhou began to take stock of the spoils of this battle.
Of course, the loot is not plentiful, but the quality is guaranteed: a 100,000-year-old Spirit Bone and a 100,000-year-old Spirit Ring.
Bai Zhou wasn't particularly excited about the 100,000-year-old spirit ring. After all, it was the true form of the seventh spirit ring, greatly increasing the power of other spirit abilities, but nothing too special.
Therefore, Bai Zhou plans to refine the 100,000-year-old Spirit Bone of the Evil Eye Tyrant first!
Spirit Bone is rare.
Among them, the Spirit Bone (head) and the trunk bones are the most valuable.
Moreover, what Bai Zhou obtained was a skull that was 100,000 years old, and it possessed extremely rare spiritual attributes.
This is priceless! We'll make a killing!
Bai Zhou took the skull out of his storage spirit tool and immediately began fusion absorption.
"Buzz—"
A mysterious force pulled the skull slowly toward Bai Zhou's body through Fusion.
This is considered Bai Zhou's second fusion. Spirit Bone is something they're quite familiar with.
Absorbing the Spirit Ring requires powerful mental force, while absorbing the Spirit Bone requires powerful physiology; otherwise, one is likely to explode and die.
Bai Zhou remembered that in the original story, Xiao Xiao tried to absorb a piece of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's Spirit Bone, and almost burst from the strain...
While a 100,000-year-old Spirit Bone is desirable, it can easily lead to danger if one's physical condition is not up to par.
However, for Bai Zhou's current physique, let alone a 100,000-year-old Spirit Bone, even a million-year-old Spirit Bone would not be too difficult for him to absorb.
...
...
One hour later.
Bai Zhou successfully absorbed the Spirit Bone.
Although Spirit Bone was an external object, it completely merged with Bai Zhou, becoming an integral part of his body.
Bai Zhou speculated.
The Spirit Master of this world was born with a defect.
The Spirit Bone from Spirit Beast can gradually compensate for deficiencies. If you collect a complete set of Spirit Bone, you can achieve complete perfection of your body, which will greatly enhance both cultivation and the use of Spirit Ability.
Putting aside the Spirit Bone's inherent abilities, after absorbing the Spirit Bone, Bai Zhou could clearly feel his Physique enhanced, and the flow of his spirit power within his body became smoother.
It's like comparing an old phone to a new one in a previous life; the smoothness is very noticeable.
In the original story, this Spirit Bone was obtained by Huo Yuhao, but was directly devoured by the Spirit Bone that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had transformed into.
After all, the Spirit Bone that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion transformed into is arguably the most powerful Spirit Bone in the world, bar none. Even the Spirit Bone of the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant pales in comparison.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Zhou experienced the abilities that the Spirit Bone had given him.
I discovered that this Spirit Bone comes with 3 built-in skills.
The first skill is a passive ability that increases his base mental force by 200%.
It looks impressive, but it only increases basic mental force, which is less than the System reward from Bai Zhou's lottery draw. It's better than nothing.
The second and third skills can actually be considered as one, because this is a Domain skill.
Within the domain, it can greatly reduce the target's mental force without the target being aware of it.
In addition, when the target's mental force is weakened to a certain extent, the target can be made to enter a hallucination state and experience various hallucinations.
Evil Eye Tyrant has this ability against the Domain that Bai Zhou uses, but Bai Zhou's mental force is far stronger than Evil Eye Tyrant's, making him completely immune to the skill and unaffected.
Moreover, when the target's mental force is weakened to a certain extent, Bai Zhou can freely control this illusion, which is the so-called... hypnosis!
"This ability is a bit abnormal..."
Bai Zhou took a small sip of Qi, and a lot of strange images instantly flashed through his mind.
With Bai Zhou's current abilities, if he were to use this skill, he could trap everyone in a small town in an illusion with a single thought...
In other words, instantly hypnotize everyone in a small town, and then do whatever you want...
"Ahem~ This skill is too overpowered, I have to use it with caution, lest I be mistaken for an Evil Soul Master..." Bai Zhou quickly calmed himself down, lest he go astray...
"I'll find someone else to try when I have time, but advancing to Spirit Saint is more important first." Bai Zhou took a deep breath and muttered to himself.
Overall, the Spirit Bone headpiece brought him quite a few surprises; its abilities were quite good, but it didn't significantly boost his combat prowess.
Spirit Bone is quite effective against enemies below Titled Douluo, but it's difficult to utilize its 'hypnotic' effect against Titled Douluo fully.
After all, Bai Zhou's skill has a very high delay, requiring the opponent to be continuously affected by the Domain. Titled Douluo is not stupid; he would try to find a way to counter it as soon as he sensed something was wrong. If he couldn't counter it, he would run away.
Once Bai Zhou escapes the Domain's range, his Spirit Bone ability is essentially useless, forcing him to rely on other abilities, which is practically pointless.
It's still more fun to kill your opponent with one punch.
With this thought in mind, Bai Zhou took out the Soul Capture Ball and released the 100,000-year-old spirit ring.
"Buzz—"
The moment the 100,000-year-old Spirit Ring appeared, a powerful pressure instantly spread out, which was extremely terrifying.
After all, the spirit ring still contained the resentment of Spirit Beast before his death, which could also be described as the unconscious remnant of his soul.
Therefore, to absorb a spirit ring that has been around for over ten thousand years, one's mental force must be sufficient; otherwise, one can easily be overwhelmed by the mental force formed from this resentment and become mentally disabled.
The 100,000-year-old Spirit Ring possesses even greater power, which only a level 90 quasi- Titled Douluo could barely absorb.
Of course, those with strong talent can absorb it in advance, but it is extremely dangerous.
Zhang Lexuan forcibly absorbed a 100,000-year-old spirit ring when he was level 80, almost dying and taking more than half a year to recover.
However, Bai Zhou's mental force and physiology far surpass those of ordinary people, so absorbing a small 100,000-year-old spirit ring is naturally not a problem.
Bai Zhou took a deep breath, made some simple adjustments to his state, and then reached out to touch the 100,000-year-old spirit ring before him, beginning to absorb it...
"Boom--"
The moment Bai Zhou came into contact with the 100,000-year-old spirit ring, powerful waves of malice surged into his spiritual sea.
"Damn humans, give me back my life!"
"Human! You dare kill me? My father will never let you get away with this!"
"I curse you..."
Unlike absorbing a normal ten-thousand-year-old spirit ring, the remnant soul of Evil Eye Tyrant within the spirit ring did not seem to have completely dissipated. Instead, it transformed into countless resentful thoughts, constantly interfering with and invading Bai Zhou's spiritual sea, affecting his absorption of the spirit ring.
