Li Luochen quietly absorbed the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone. The surging vitality flowed into his body, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort.
He felt his depleted "kidneys" replenished, and he believed he could now take on Dugu Yan in another intense battle. However, the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone didn't just provide vitality—it also brought a surge of spirit power. Li Luochen's spirit power began to rise.
Originally, Li Luochen had been stuck at level sixty-seven for quite some time, but his spirit power had already accumulated sufficiently. According to his earlier estimates, he would break through to level sixty-eight this month.
The spirit power from the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone directly pushed him to level sixty-eight, and his spirit power continued to climb, peaking at the upper limits of level sixty-eight. With a final burst of effort, he broke through to level sixty-nine.
Though the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone didn't provide much spirit power, it gave him an abundance of vitality. Li Luochen felt an unending flow of life force, and he reckoned he could now "defeat" two Dugu Yans.
Two days later, Li Luochen reflected on the changes within himself. His vitality had significantly increased, and his body's vitality had greatly improved. The most noticeable change was in his blood energy—yes, his blood energy.
Vitality was directly linked to blood energy, and as his vitality increased, so did his blood energy. Li Luochen believed that with his physical strength alone, he could defeat a Beast type Spirit Master at the Soul Sage level.
After absorbing the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, Li Luochen retrieved the Golden Dragon Torso Bone from the storage soul-guided device around his neck. However, along with the Golden Dragon Torso Bone, several other spirit bones emerged.
"? When did I acquire these spirit bones? Let me see—an eighty-thousand-year Golden Python Right Leg Bone, a hundred-thousand-year Golden Crocodile Dragon Left Leg Bone, and a ninety-thousand-year Golden Unicorn Right Arm Bone.
These are all high-year spirit bones! This hundred-thousand-year Golden Crocodile Dragon Left Leg Bone can go to Yanzi, and the other two can be given to my grandfather. Now that I possess the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, I can freely swap out the spirit bones for my limbs.
Although Yanzi's left arm bone has increased in years, it's no longer suitable for her current level. I need to find a more fitting hundred-thousand-year left arm bone and equip her with a full set of hundred-thousand-year spirit bones."
Li Luocheng began fantasizing about Dugu Yan, equipped with a full set of hundred-thousand-year spirit bones and wielding a Dragon King-level martial soul, reaching the Title Douluo level. How powerful would she become?
However, the prerequisite was for him to grow stronger. Li Luochen gazed at the golden torso bone and pressed it against his chest. The Golden Dragon Torso Bone immediately fused into his body.
Unlike the smooth fusion of the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, which had filled his body with vitality, the Golden Dragon Torso Bone caused a surge of overwhelming spirit power to rampage through his body. At the same time, Li Luochen felt as though he were being stared down by a golden dragon tens of thousands of meters tall, sending chills down his spine.
Sensing trouble, Li Luochen's eyes turned crimson, and a white mist began emanating from his body.
Killing God Domain!
Li Luochen had underestimated the power of this torso bone. He had assumed it would only be slightly stronger than the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's—but it turned out to be far more potent.
Now, Li Luochen could only hope that his Killing God Domain would come through for him. It had played a crucial role when he absorbed the soul ring, soul bone, and core essence of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
The killing intent of the Killing God Domain had suppressed the tiger's evil thoughts and even eradicated other elements. Li Luochen suspected that Asura had secretly intervened back then, and now he could only hope that Asura would lend a hand again.
After all, they both had something to gain—he needed Asura's godly throne to achieve divinity and immortality, while helping his family enter the divine realm. In return, Asura wanted to escape the divine realm and wander freely through the universe. A win-win situation, right? Surely Asura would help him.
Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm, at the Rakshasa Temple…
"No, no, Asura, please stop…."
The purple-veiled, bewitching woman pleaded as she lay on the bed.
Asura, who had been preparing to "cultivate," suddenly sensed an issue with his chosen successor. Instantly losing interest in the activity, he rose, sat on the bed, and used divine power to observe the Douluo Continent.
"What is this brat up to now? Always causing trouble like this. Hmm? Let me see—he's actually absorbing the torso bone of a Golden Dragon at the level of a First Rank God? Such audacity! Does he not fear being overwhelmed?"
Asura examined what Li Luochen had experienced. "Ah! The Golden Dragon Tomb, I see! This Golden Dragon was created by Lord Dragon God using its own flesh and bloodline.
It possessed the strength of a First Rank God, second only to the Nine Great Dragon Kings among dragon-kind. Its power was extraordinary. But when Lord Dragon God went mad, wasn't this Golden Dragon slain by me?
What a coincidence! The residual soul within this spirit bone will die by my hand once again. You dared to interfere with my chosen successor? Die!"
Asura immediately unleashed his Asura God Power, channeling it through Li Luochen's Killing God Domain.
While Li Luochen was still struggling with the Golden Dragon Torso Bone, he suddenly lost control of his body. An overwhelmingly powerful and pure killing intent surged from within him.
Final Skill of the Killing God Domain: Asura Manifestation! (Asura God Proxy Mode!)
Behind Li Luochen, a figure clad in blood-red armor with white hair appeared. With a single swipe of his hand-as-a-blade, he obliterated the residual soul of the Golden Dragon within the torso bone. From that moment on, there was no further obstruction to Li Luochen's absorption of the Golden Dragon Torso Bone.
The Golden Dragon Torso Bone fully merged with Li Luochen's skeletal structure, simultaneously fusing with the spirit bones on his body:
- Sixty-thousand-year Golden Radiance Left Leg Bone
- Eighty-thousand-year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Left Arm Bone
- Ninety-thousand-year Spirit Condensation Skull Bone
- Sixty-thousand-year Dragon Wing External Bone
- Eighty-thousand-year Tyrant Dragon Spine External Bone
- Hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone
The energy of the divine-level Golden Dragon Torso Bone surged into Li Luochen's spirit bones, drastically enhancing their quality.
The Spirit Condensation Skull Bone, Golden Radiance Left Leg Bone, Dragon Wing External Bone, and Tyrant Dragon Spine External Bone were all elevated to the hundred-thousand-year tier and further refined. The Tyrant Dragon Spine External Bone even fused completely with the Golden Dragon Torso Bone, as both shared the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King and were of the same origin.
The noble lineage of the Golden Dragon elevated the years of Li Luochen's sub-dragon-type spirit bones and soul rings. His first four soul rings were all elevated to the ten-thousand-year tier, with the first soul ring reaching twenty thousand years and the others following suit.
The fifth soul ring saw the greatest increase, directly reaching the hundred-thousand-year tier. The Golden Earth Dragon King, possessing both golden and light bloodlines, was closely related to the Golden Dragon, resulting in a massive boost.
Currently, Li Luochen's soul ring configuration was: four black, one red, one black—a highly absurd and bizarre arrangement.
Li Luochen continued to reflect on the power granted by the Golden Dragon Torso Bone and how it had transformed his body. He immersed himself in the essence of the dragon's strength, refining his staff techniques to perfection.

Divine Realm, Rakshasa Shrine
Asura watched Li Luochen with a satisfied smile. Through his covert intervention, he had strengthened Li Luochen's foundation even further. At this rate, Li Luochen would undoubtedly inherit his godly throne, and the compatibility would likely be quite high.
Finally, he could leave this accursed divine realm. Who cared about being the Enforcer God? Let someone else take over.
Feeling refreshed, Asura turned his attention back to the Rakshasa lying on the bed and resumed his activities.
Once again, the shrine echoed with the cries of a certain deity—but no one knew or cared. After all, Rakshasa's reputation in the divine realm was poor. It wasn't that she was incompetent as a god—it was her penchant for mischief and pranks that made her unpopular.
With nothing better to do in the divine realm, Rakshasa had resorted to such antics to pass the time. But now, with Asura "tormenting" her for most of the day, she rarely ventured out anymore.
Her divine power was useless against Asura, leaving her unable to resist and forcing her to endure everything silently. Though her resentment grew daily, fueling her divine power, it was futile.
Let us mourn for our poor Rakshasa.
