Chapter 84 Death and Ascension

"A hundred thousand year spirit ring."

Several people looked at the red soul ring surrounding Di Hong, and everyone's eyes were filled with envy and amazement.

"Absorbing a hundred thousand year spirit ring is so difficult, but he succeeded." Tang Lie shook his head and sighed.

Hunting a hundred thousand year soul beast is one thing, but successfully absorbing it is another, especially at the Soul Sage stage. Absorbing a hundred thousand year soul ring is almost impossible in their opinion. If you want to absorb a hundred thousand year soul ring, you must at least be at the Soul Douluo level.

But Di Hong succeeded.

"He will be the first soul master on the continent to have a 100,000-year soul ring as his seventh soul ring." Ning Fengzhi's eyes were full of envy.

A hundred thousand year spirit ring. It would be a lie to say that I am not envious. But there is no use in being envious. God is fair. While giving the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda superb auxiliary capabilities, he also gave this martial soul a defect that only seven spirit rings can be attached.

He had only glimpsed a little about the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower from the sect's records.

However, the sect's scriptures only recorded the existence of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower, but did not record how to evolve the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower. He had studied it for nearly twenty years, but still had not figured out how to evolve his martial soul.

After absorbing the soul ring, Di Hong continued to absorb the soul bone.

Absorbing soul bones is much easier than absorbing soul rings.

The Blazing Earth Dragon's soul bone is a right arm bone.

Soon, he completed the absorption of the soul bone.

After absorbing the soul rings and soul bones, his mental power and soul power levels have increased significantly.

He had accumulated soul power before, and after absorbing the soul ring, his soul power level directly reached level 76, breaking through level 6.

His mental strength is now close to that of a Titled Douluo.

Ning Fengzhi and others came over to congratulate them.

"Congratulations! You are now the first and so far the only soul master in the continent to have a 100,000-year soul ring at the seventh soul ring."

Di Hong clasped his fists and expressed his gratitude.

"Hong would like to thank Second Uncle Ning and the three seniors for their help in hunting down a hundred thousand year soul beast."

"I will never forget this kindness."

Ning Fengzhi waved his hand.

"No need to do that. Just call me brother and I will help you."

Then he handed Di Hong another token.

"This is the token of my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. With it, you will be the honorary elder of my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."

"But don't worry, this token will not restrict you. You can do whatever you need to do. You don't need to do anything for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. You just need to help us when we are in danger."

Di Hong took the token and bowed to Ning Fengzhi.

“Good boy, I am envious of your hundred thousand year spirit ring and spirit bone. I must talk to the sect master about it when I return.” Tang Lie patted Di Hong on the shoulder. They, the Haotian Sect, could not let such an outstanding genius escape.

Everyone was injured, and Di Hong gave them herbs for healing. These herbs were picked from the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire. Although they were not as good as fairy products, their effects were unmatched by ordinary herbs. In addition to healing, they were also good for regulating their meridians.

Everyone suffered serious injuries during this hunt for soul beasts, which may affect their future. Therefore, helping them recover from their injuries and eliminating hidden dangers are what Di Hong should do.

Di Hong still owes them a favor.

Although he did not obtain the soul bone, the favor from the future Titled Douluo was still a small profit.

After taking the herbs given by Di Hong, several people began to heal their wounds. Under the effect of the herbs, their injuries recovered quickly, and even some hidden injuries in the body recovered. Without hidden injuries, it would be of great benefit to their future cultivation.

Although the talent is there, it is not easy to break through the Titled Douluo, but it is not difficult to further improve one or two levels.

If you don’t have talent, then work hard to make up for it.

After absorbing the soul ring and soul bone, Di Hong looked again. A hundred thousand year soul beast is full of treasures and cannot be wasted.

So he directly took the body of the Fiery Earth Dragon away. His soul guide had no problem carrying the body of a soul beast.

Afterwards, they set out on their return journey.

on the way back.

Di Hong felt his own gains. After obtaining the seventh soul ring, his domain evolved a second time, from the Lihuo domain to the Suzaku domain, and he also gained a special skill [Suzaku Bathing in Fire].

This skill allows him to be reborn after being killed, but the only limitation is that rebirth can only be used once every seven days.

This is a means of saving lives, which is equivalent to having an extra life.

It was a bit like Bibi Dong's ninth soul skill, except that he didn't need to release it actively. And there were no restrictions, so even if a god killed him, he could still be resurrected.

This is very abnormal.

After his domain evolved into the Suzaku domain, it also had new effects.

[Suzaku Spirit Attraction] and [Dispel]

The former can imprison all souls in the feathers of the Vermillion Bird and can revive them, but the effect of the resurrection is determined by his soul power level. Now he does not have the ability to resurrect people and can only imprison souls. Only when he reaches the Titled Douluo can he resurrect others.

There are also restrictions on resurrection. The soul power level must not exceed level ninety-five, and the quality of the martial soul cannot exceed him, and the time of death cannot exceed forty-eight hours. After resurrection, the opponent will enter a seven-day weak period, no different from an ordinary person within seven days, and if there is a soul bone, the soul bone will not be restored during resurrection.

Every resurrection consumes all his soul power.

Moreover, it can only be used once a month, and each time it is used it takes seven days to recover.

Of course, it would be a different story if he became a god.

The latter [Dispel] dispels all domains weaker than Suzaku's domain.

The harvest this time was indeed rich.

On the way back.

A royal soul master suddenly found them and handed a letter to Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi opened the letter and glanced at it briefly, then his face changed.

"What's wrong?" Di Hong asked.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head and handed the letter to Di Hong without saying anything.

After taking the letter, Di Hong was shocked when he saw it.

"Emperor Xuetang has passed away."

Ning Fengzhi nodded: "Now that Emperor Xuetang has passed away, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked us to return to Tiandou City as soon as possible after hunting the soul beast."

After returning the letter to Ning Fengzhi, Di Hong said, "Then we must hurry on our way."

"Yeah." Ning Fengzhi nodded.

Xue Ting was already dying when they set out, but they didn't expect him to pass away so soon. Fortunately, Xue Ye had a solid foundation and most of the ministers were his people. Xue Yu's rebellion had also been completely put down, with only a few people still wanted.

The local generals and city lords who followed the rebellion were all executed, and the person who went to pacify them was Xue Ye's younger brother Xue Xing.

Xue Xing forced the troops to march and quickly pacified them before they received the news of Xue Yu's failure. They didn't even resist during the whole process, or they were captured before they had time to resist.

After Xue Ting passed away, Di Hong and his men returned to Tiandou City as quickly as possible.

After returning to Tiandou City, Di Qing returned to the Kingdom of Silves and Tang Lie also returned to the Haotian Sect.

Tiandou City was in mourning and martial law was imposed again.

Although everyone was prepared for the emperor's death, no one expected him to pass away so soon. Now the royal family is preparing for the funeral. The emperor's death is a big event, and all the dependent kingdoms and principalities have sent envoys to express condolences.

Even the Star Luo Empire sent envoys, and the Spirit Hall was naturally no exception.

The Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall in Tiandou City expressed condolences to Emperor Xuetang on behalf of the Spirit Hall.

The entire Tiandou City was filled with a sad atmosphere.

The emperor's funeral was unusually grand.

After the funeral, Xue Ye’s coronation ceremony was held. After being the crown prince for more than 20 years, he finally became the true master of the Tiandou Empire.

After the coronation ceremony, Xue Ye officially became the emperor of the empire, and his younger brother Xue Xing was also named prince. Di Hong's title was also promoted to marquis, and the rest of Xue Ye's confidants were promoted and rewarded.

Next, he prepared to carry out a major reshuffle throughout the empire.

He was an ambitious man, and he hoped that the declining Tiandou Empire would become strong again in his hands. Seizing this opportunity, Di Hong sent a message back to the country, asking Di Yang and others to make preparations early to see if there was any chance to secretly plant their people.

One month after Xue Ye’s coronation ceremony, the brothers Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, who had gone to Poseidon Island, finally returned.

They first returned to Haotian Sect to report the situation to their father, and then came to Tiandou City.

On the way to Marquis Dihong's Mansion, Tang Hao said helplessly: "It's only been a short time since we left, and the situation in Tiandou City has changed."

He really didn't expect that such a big change would happen in just a few months.
