The two soul bones, one in reddish-brown like rust and the other in dull blue-purple, look like arm guards and leg guards carefully crafted by skilled old craftsmen. However, they have not been nourished by soul power over time. Now,

All have dimmed their light.

Although Ma Hongjun's dropped soul power level did not improve after absorbing the dark gold Terrorclaw Bear's soul ring, his condition was completely restored.

Ma Hongjun was full of energy. He carefully looked at the dim soul bones in his hands. He probed back and forth with his powerful spiritual sense for a long time, and finally figured out the general situation of the two soul bones in his hands.

Among them, the reddish-brown arm guard is a right arm bone with fire and earth attributes. It is roughly 30,000 years old. Ma Hongjun guessed that it should come from some kind of ape-like soul beast or bear-like soul beast, such as the Exploding Demon Ape and Exploding Demon Bear, or a dragon.

A kind of soul beast.

The blue-purple leggings are the left leg bone of the wind and thunder attribute, which is roughly around 60,000 years old. Ma Hongjun guessed that it should come from some kind of avian soul beast with the wind and thunder attribute, such as the Storm Thunder Eagle and Ziyun Golden Wither, or a dragon.

Soul beast.

"These two soul bones are quite suitable for me. Although the soul power contained in them has been lost a lot, it doesn't matter."

Ma Hongjun secretly pondered, although the essence of the soul bone is the energy crystal containing soul skills, if no one absorbs it and the soul bone is left outside, the soul bone will actually slowly leak out energy. Therefore, if no one absorbs the soul bone,

In this case, it generally needs to be installed in a specific container to prevent the energy contained in it from leaking out.

For example, a storage soul guide, or a treasure box or chest made of fine jade, gemstones, crystals, etc.

Although this dissipation speed is very slow, if there is a ten thousand year soul beast lying next to it that is absorbing the dissipated energy, it will speed up the energy dissipation in disguise.

Coupled with the passage of time, most of the soul power contained in the soul bones has naturally been lost, so the light appears dim.

And this is also the conclusion that Ma Hongjun came to after investigating the situation of these two soul bones. In other words, although untransformed soul beasts cannot absorb soul bones, in addition to being used as trophies, soul bones are actually a kind of auxiliary for them.

The only resource for cultivation is that the soul bone dissipates energy slowly.

"You are like the gold buried deep in the ground. Although it has been buried for hundreds or thousands of years in the hands of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, now that it is in my hands, I will not bury you. I will let you and I

Integrate into one and help me reach the top as soon as possible and become the supreme monarch who suppresses the world."

Ma Hongjun said in his heart that he didn't mind the two soul bones that were seriously overflowing with energy. He grabbed one with each hand and placed it on his right arm. He pressed it on his left leg and began to absorb it at the same time.

Although there is no guarantee that the soul bones in his body will be dismantled by him one day, no matter whether they are dismantled or not, he needs to refine them first, then go through Nirvana and restore them to their original form, turning them into the most essential skill runes before they can be smelted.

Enter the magic sword.

Time passed slowly, and as the sunlight shining into the cave gradually shifted, it was not until night fell that Ma Hongjun completely absorbed the two soul bones.

"That's right. I didn't expect that the flame right arm bone that should belong to me would actually come back to my hands in this form. That's good."

Ma Hongjun said in his heart, slowly opening a pair of bright star eyes that seemed to be flashing with bursting fire and wind and thunder. Although the two soul bones only restored his soul power to level sixty-eight and a half, the right arm bone turned out to be

The right arm bursting with burning flames felt very satisfying.

You must know that although his phoenix flame has had the ability to explode since absorbing the first soul ring, it is not the phoenix inherent explosion possessed by the fat man in the original time and space, that is, the explosive and burning piece that has been absorbed by the flame.

The ability brought by the flame right arm.

Ma Hongjun has been coveting this ability for a long time, and now it is ready. His flames can finally explode in the enemy's body.

Originally, Ma Hongjun had planned to remove Yan's right arm and take him away if he met Yan in the future, but now he no longer had to worry about Yan's right arm.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

Ma Hongjun laughed strangely, glanced at the sky outside the cave, and lay down in the bear's den. He stopped practicing and stretched slightly, sniffing the sweet and greasy scent like aged honey with the tip of his nose.

The faint fragrance gradually fell into sleep.

Soon, the night passed, and when the sky became hazy and the slightly reddish white fish belly appeared on the horizon, Ma Hongjun, who was sleeping in the bear's den, opened a pair of deep, clear eyes on time.

"Ah, I feel so comfortable. I haven't had such a good night's sleep in a long time since I entered the Killing City."

Ma Hongjun's eyes were bright and he stood up in high spirits. With a crackling sound like exploding beans, he stretched his waist.

Then he jumped straight out of the cave. After a few more ups and downs, Ma Hongjun reached the top of a towering ancient tree outside the cave.

The sun rises in the east, dawn breaks in the sky, and more than half an hour passes in the blink of an eye. As the purple clouds all over the sky gradually recede, the red morning sun begins to emit bright golden light. Ma Hongjun slowly closes his eyes as if there are two small red and blue fish chasing and playing.

His dazzling eyes stopped shooting the purple energy towards Caidong this time, and his eyes absorbed the essence of the great sun.

Ma Hongjun stood up, and after a few more ups and downs, he was like an agile ape, shuttling through the not-so-dense ancient forest. He soon came to a nearby stream, took out the body of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, and began to skin it.

Cramp, prepare breakfast.

The bear skin of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, even though it has become soft now, still has extremely strong toughness. As long as it is slightly kneaded and cut, you can make several sets of high-quality leather armor with extremely strong defense. If you sell it

, even if it is placed at the Tiandou Auction House in Tiandou City, it can still be sold at an excellent price.

There is also the thick dark golden bear fur. As long as it is processed with special techniques, it can be made into bear silk cloth and then made into a set of high-grade sweaters with extremely high defense.

Even considering the toughness of the dark gold hair of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, the defense of a Dark Gold sweater made of bear silk cloth would probably be better than the bearskin inner armor.

However, Ma Hongjun does not intend to do this. He plans to use the god of fire to teach him the basic weapon-making method to see if he can refine it into a decent soul-guiding device suit without requiring it to have super strong defense or attack.

It works, I hope he doesn't have to blow out his clothes every time, he is already very satisfied.

Soon, the flesh, bones, internal organs, fur, etc. of the Dark Gold Treadclaw Bear were put away under Ma Hongjun's classification.

Returning to the dark gold Terrorclaw Bear's lair again, Ma Hongjun was holding the phoenix flame in one hand on the platform at the entrance of the cave. While grilling the bear meat that he had skewered on iron skewers, he was distracted in refining and sealing it in the Vulcan Seal Space.

The power of Rakshasa within the magic sword.

In fact, with his current strength, he is incapable of refining the Rakshasa power sealed in the magic sword, or he can only refine the Rakshasa power like a cocoon like he did when he first refined the Rakshasa power contained in Bloody Mary.

But the innate Taichi diagram composed of the ice-fire divine dragon and the divine flame had successfully sealed the Rakshasa divine power in the flame mark, but Ma Hongjun saw hope that he could refine it.

In the flame mark space, Ma Hongjun once again used the divine fireball and the ice and fire dragon to form an innate Tai Chi pattern, and then used the method told to him by the Vulcan to open the gap left by the Vulcan in the seal of the magic sword.

Suddenly, thin traces of Rakshasa divine power, like wisps of smoke, slowly floated out from the magic sword. However, before it could instinctively corrode everything around it, it was swallowed up by the ice and fire dragon that was surrounded by the divine fireball.

absorb.

Time passed slowly, and when the golden sun in the sky gradually turned into a bright and blazing fireball, a quarter of the flesh and blood of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear was roasted into Ma Hongjun's belly.

Ma Hongjun's face was glowing red after eating, and his whole body was gushing with ashes. The rich and powerful Qi and blood were rushing through his body like a great river. The gleaming red light penetrated through the delicate and jade-like skin on his body, rising up and lingering around him like wolf smoke.

.

In the flame imprint space, due to the purification of the remaining Rakshasa divine power in the body, all that was consumed was a volleyball-sized divine fireball, which again returned to the size of a basketball.

"That's it!"

Ma Hongjun smiled with satisfaction and closed the gap in the seal of the magic sword according to the method taught by the God of Fire.

"This size is exactly what I can control perfectly. It's time to restore my soul power and absorb the god-given soul ring."

Ma Hongjun turned around and returned to the bear's den, using his fire control technique. The divine fireball floating in the flame mark left the mark space under his control and turned into a huge orange fireball, covering his whole body.

Ma Hongjun is multi-purpose, sitting cross-legged in the fireball that exudes warm light, like a god from ancient times. While running Tai Chi to absorb the energy emitted by the divine fireball, restoring his soul power and slowly tempering his body, he is also practicing with the phoenix soul power.

, flushing his second, fourth and fifth soul rings.

Just like the last time he used the divine fireball to purify the Rakshasa power in his body, as long as he feels mentally exhausted or the loss of the divine fireball is a little serious, Ma Hongjun will stop and rest, or refining the sealed Rakshasa power again to replenish and restore it.

For the lost mental energy, wait until you are full of energy before continuing.

This cycle goes on and on, as the sun rises, the moon sets, and the clouds turn and relax in the outside world, more than a month passes quickly in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Ma Hongjun, who was sitting cross-legged in the god of fire's ball of light with a solemn appearance, had already been promoted to ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years of darkness as the phoenix soul power in his body continued to refine the fourth soul ring.

The Golden Terrorclaw Bear Soul Ring gave Ma Hongjun a feeling that he could continue to improve.

At the same time, Ma Hongjun also had a divine enlightenment in his heart, and the spirit-guiding technique started to work accordingly, pulling the red gold rune chain floating randomly in the flame mark space, which was the stripped Phoenix Fire Feather Soul Ring, towards the fourth one that had turned into black and red.

The Dao Soul Ring fell away.

After a while, as the red gold rune chain was completely integrated into the black and red fourth soul ring, this black soul ring also separated from its original position under Ma Hongjun's control and floated alone in front of him.

"Whether it can be promoted to a hundred thousand year soul ring depends on whether it can be successful next."

Ma Hongjun said in his heart, controlling the divine fireball to wrap around the black soul ring suspended in front of him, and then started to use the spirit-melting technique that he had mastered for a long time, and began to smelt and forge the fourth soul ring.

The art of melting spirits is the art of smelting runes among the basic weapon-making methods taught by the Vulcan.

boom!

Inside the divine fire ball, terrifying scorching heat rises, as if it wants to incinerate the black soul ring transformed by the energy into nothingness. As the divine fire burns, the light of the black soul ring flickers on and off, and a heart-piercing searing pain passes through instantly.

The connection between the martial soul and the soul ring, and then through the connection between the martial soul and Ma Hongjun, was transmitted into his heart, making him feel like he was burned and ran away with only three legs when he came into contact with the divine fire for the first time.

"hiss!"

Ma Hongjun gasped for a moment. You must know that the soul ring of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear has been completely refined into a life soul ring, which means that the remaining soul required for the formation of the soul ring has actually been transformed into his soul.

He is now using the spirit-melting technique to smelt and forge the soul ring with the divine fire. With the special characteristics of his natal soul ring, it is like his own soul being burned in the divine fire.

"No, I don't know whether this will be successful, but I certainly won't be able to persist until the moment of success."

Ma Hongjun's face turned pale, and he used the fire control technique to put away the divine fireball, and then replaced it with dark golden pure fire.

As the dry and pure fire that absorbs the dark gold Terrorclaw Bear soul ring and transforms into the ultimate golden flame, it is most suitable to use this fire to smelt and forge the fourth soul ring.

The most important thing is that this is the flame inherent in his martial soul, so even if he doesn't use the fire control technique, he can control it easily, although the effect will be better if he uses the fire control technique.

Sure enough, after switching to Gan Zhenzhen Fire to smelt the fourth soul ring, although Ma Hongjun could feel a burning and stinging sensation like a sword being stabbed, he was no longer unable to persevere.

Ma Hongjun was distracted and multi-purpose. While forging the soul ring with the fire control technique and the spirit fusion technique, his mind was in harmony with the martial spirit, and he continuously transformed the soul power in his body into dark golden ultimate golden flame, injecting it into the fourth layer that enveloped it.

The soul ring's stem is in the fire, replenishing its consumption.
