Chapter 119: The External Spirit Bone Skill—Storm Nebula Rend?
When the external spirit bones appeared before her, Huo Yun'er's jaw dropped.
She could only stammer incoherently, "T-Two… two spirit bones?"
Her wide eyes darted between Jiang Chen and the glowing dark-golden bones. Two external spirit bones—for her?
"N-No! Ancestor, I can't! I'm not worthy!"
She was completely dazed. If it had just been two ten-thousand-year spirit bones, especially after receiving Shrek Academy's compensation, she could have accepted it.
But external spirit bones were different!
These were lifelong companions, irreplaceable and inseparable. Once fused, they could never be swapped out, and they perished with the master upon death.
"I really don't deserve this!"
Jiang Chen's gaze went cold.
"If I say you're worthy, then you're worthy."
"Do as I say!"
"Or are you daring to disobey me?"
"Sit. I'll stand guard while you absorb them."
Huo Yun'er pouted. "...Okay."
Her lips said one thing, but her actions betrayed her. Without hesitation, she obediently sat down before him, excitement flickering in her eyes.
Honestly, who could resist the temptation of an external spirit bone?
If not for Jiang Chen's obsession with creating his own Dragon King Soul Bone Set, he would never give away such treasures.
He couldn't afford to be that extravagant.
"Consider this your lucky day," he muttered.
"Hehe, Ancestor is the best!" she chirped.
Sitting cross-legged, Huo Yun'er released her soul power, guiding the two Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear bones closer.
Spirit bones enhanced physical attributes, improved soul power flow, and granted new soul skills—but absorption was risky, especially with a beast as violent as the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear.
People had failed before—Xiao Xiao had nearly lost her arm years ago attempting one, saved only by the Gluttonous Douluo's protection and Huo Yuhao's intervention.
And these were external bones—twice as dangerous.
It was clear she was struggling under the mounting pressure.
Jiang Chen frowned. "Tsk, still playing hard to get?"
Before he even intervened, a flash of white light shimmered above Huo Yun'er's head.
The Holy-Eyed Saint King—her spirit soul—appeared, roaring with hidden majesty.
"ROAR!"
At its cry, the lingering resentment in the Dark-Gold Bear's remnants scattered to nothing.
The paired bones hovered before Huo Yun'er, their dark-golden light softening as they drifted toward her palms.
"Wait, they even include the elbows?" Jiang Chen blinked. He'd barely examined them, afraid he'd lose control and absorb them himself—ruining his Dragon King Set plans.
"Not just claw strikes, but elbow hits too, huh?"
A beautiful girl's elbow strike… an oddly entertaining image crossed his mind.
Gradually, the two spirit bones fused completely, their energy merging smoothly.
Dark-golden radiance spread along Huo Yun'er's arms while the Holy-Eyed Saint King ensured everything remained stable.
At last—success!
No backlash, no explosion—just perfect synchronization.
"Ancestor! I did it!"
Her whole face glowed with joy.
"Let me show you!"
A dark-golden claw materialized instantly before Jiang Chen's face, making his eyelid twitch in alarm.
"You little brat," he grumbled. "You couldn't even wait a minute before testing it on me?"
"This just means I love you, Ancestor!" she giggled—though her hands moved mercilessly.
Five sharp golden arcs extended from her fingertips, each a deadly meter long.
Their technique resembled Jiang Chen's own Evil God Claw.
He pierced space to ignore defenses; she tore space apart, causing catastrophic spatial rifts that dealt continuous shredding damage.
"Ancestor, this is the soul skill of my right claw bone—Dark-Gold Ripper!"
"It ignores defense, and the spatial rifts it leaves behind deal secondary damage!"
Jiang Chen's hand morphed into a massive tiger's paw, matching her strike.
He could now partially transform using his Evil God Form, altering a single limb at will.
"Not bad," he admitted.
Her attack lacked his instantaneous thrust advantage but made up for it with raw area control and destructive momentum.
"What about the other one?" he asked.
Huo Yun'er smiled proudly. "Ancestor, watch this one!"
Her left arm didn't manifest claws this time—just a glowing palm that unfolded into a swirling dark-golden vortex.
"This is the soul skill from my left claw bone—Dark-Gold Guardian!"
"It absorbs enemy attacks, then releases them back with amplified gravitational crush."
Instantly, the air around Jiang Chen thickened. Gravity doubled, pressing heavily on his shoulders.
"I can stack it up to five layers!" she added excitedly.
"But there's more!"
Forming intricate hand seals, Huo Yun'er drew the twin soul bones' energy together.
A massive dark-golden field, nearly a kilometer wide, burst outward.
Gravity doubled again, while the surrounding space itself warped and weakened.
Even those without space attributes could feel the air splitting.
Invisible rifts expanded until Jiang Chen found himself enveloped in a web of tearing pressure.
"Storm Nebula Rend…?" he murmured in mild astonishment.
Then frowned. "No… feels more like Taiji Cloud Hand."
Before he could elaborate, a huge dark-golden claw condensed behind him and slammed forward with terrifying force.
"Ancestor," Huo Yun'er shouted, "this is the combined ability of both bones—Dark-Gold Domain: Terrorclaw Meteorfall!"
Jiang Chen could already tell—Dark-Gold Domain was just the start, but "Terrorclaw Meteorfall"?
He figured it out a moment later.
After dodging one swipe, another claw immediately formed beside him. Then another, faster, stronger—and each strike landed with genuine damage.
Within seconds, countless glowing claws filled the air.
Jiang Chen unfurled his black wings, soaring upward—but the claws pursued him relentlessly.
Of course, maintaining such a technique drained Huo Yun'er rapidly. Unlike martial soul fusion skills that drew from two power sources, this was fueled solely by her own strength.
"Pretty good," Jiang Chen said approvingly, "though you might want to rename it."
"Rename it?" she blinked, confused.
