Chapter 178 Absorption! The Eighth Soul Ring!
The whole process was quite thrilling, but in the end, the Titan Snow Demon King was killed.
At least based on Qin Mu's own strength, there was no way he could defeat the Titan Snow Demon King on his own.
Qin Mu was ultimately able to finish off the enemy thanks largely to the Snow Woman's help.
If she hadn't absorbed most of the Titan Snow Demon King's fighting power, the Titan Snow Demon King would probably have reduced Qin Mu to ashes in no time.
That was, after all, a real, ferocious beast that had lived for 600,000 years!
Before long, led by the Snow Woman, Ling Yuan, Yue Guan, and Xiaobai arrived before the Titan Snow Demon King.
After seeing that Qin Mu had actually killed the Titan Snow Demon King, both Xiaobai and Ling Yuan and Yue Guan couldn't help but look at Qin Mu with even greater respect.
Especially Xiaobai, who originally thought that Qin Mu's strength was only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary 100,000-year-old spirit beast, but who knew that he could actually complete the mission of intercepting and killing the Titan Snow Demon King on his own.
Although the Titan Snow Demon King was already at its last gasp, it was still far beyond the reach of a spirit beast with hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation.
The Snow Woman arrived before the corpse of the Titan Snow Demon King, her gaze complex as she looked at the red and black spirit ring floating above its body.
After circling the corpse, the Snow Woman was astonished to find that the Titan Snow Demon King did not have the expected wounds on its body.
"Not attacking the physical body, but directly annihilating the Titan Snow Demon King at the level of spiritual power?!"
The Snow Woman possessed extraordinary insight, recognizing at a glance how Qin Mu had killed the Titan Snow Demon King.
Although the Snow Woman had not witnessed Qin Mu's physical strength firsthand, she had a certain understanding and assessment of it.
Who would have thought that Qin Mu's achievements in spiritual power would also surprise the Snow Woman?
If Qin Mu were to truly cultivate to the level of a high-ranking Title Douluo, perhaps she really wouldn't be his match.
The thought suddenly popped into her mind, and the Snow Woman gave Qin Mu another deep look, but didn't say anything more.
Taking advantage of this time, Qin Mu sat down cross-legged and began to recover his strength.
With the Snow Woman, the only overlord of the far north, protecting them, how could anything possibly go wrong?
In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.
With the powerful restorative properties of the Holy Light of the Dragon, Qin Mu's physical condition had recovered to about 70-80% in just one hour.
At this moment, the Snow Woman and the others had all focused their attention on Qin Mu, and everyone was quietly waiting for him.
Even though their strength had almost reached the pinnacle of the continent, they had never seen anyone absorb a 100,000-year-old spirit ring starting from the sixth spirit ring.
Now, with his eighth spirit ring, the age of the spirit ring had reached a terrifying six hundred thousand years.
They were eager to witness this miraculous moment!
"Be careful, the Titan Snow Demon King's spirit ring energy is extremely domineering."
"Although in terms of physical strength alone, your physique is the pinnacle of human beings I have ever seen in my life."
"But absorbing the Titan Snow Demon King's spirit ring will probably still be quite difficult."
The Snow Woman's eyes held a hint of worry. Although, based on her judgment, Qin Mu was very likely to succeed in absorbing it, no one could say for sure how much energy was contained within the 600,000-year spirit ring.
Qin Mu took a deep breath, smiled and nodded at the Snow Woman. Then, the dark golden Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, the red and black spirit ring slowly floated towards Qin Mu.
A dark red light surged and instantly entered Qin Mu's body.
When Qin Mu actually began absorbing the Titan Snow Demon King's spirit ring, he realized just how domineering the spirit ring energy of the Titan Snow Demon King was.
Before this, Qin Mu already had two 100,000-year spirit rings and three 100,000-year spirit bones. With the tempering of his body by various immortal herbs, the Snow Woman's statement that Qin Mu's physical body was already at the pinnacle of humanity was no exaggeration.
But Qin Mu was still just a Spirit Master who had just reached the eighth ring!
Even though Qin Mu's seventh spirit ring had absorbed the spirit ring of the Azure Bull Python, absorbing the spirit ring of the Titan Snow Demon King was still quite difficult.
The terrifying energy of the 600,000-year-old spirit ring, carrying an extremely domineering aura, rushed directly into Qin Mu's body.
If Qin Mu's body hadn't been tempered through countless trials, he would probably have been instantly destroyed by that domineering energy.
Even so, Qin Mu instantly bled from all seven orifices, and his body trembled violently.
It seemed that Qin Mu's physical body was on the verge of collapse!
It was important to understand that the difficulty in absorbing a spirit ring generally lay in the energy of the spirit ring itself and the lingering resentment of the soul within it.
With his powerful spiritual strength, Qin Mu had completely erased the soul of the Titan Snow Demon King, and there was no trace of resentment left in his spirit ring.
In other words, what Qin Mu was currently experiencing was simply the energy contained within the Titan Snow Demon King's spirit ring!
This energy alone almost drove Qin Mu to the brink of collapse. If you added the resentment of the Titan Snow Demon King's soul, then trying to absorb this 600,000-year spirit ring at the eighth spirit ring level would be nothing short of a pipe dream!
At this moment, Qin Mu was experiencing far more pain than when he absorbed the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python.
Golden light gradually shone from Qin Mu's right arm. The Snow Woman and the others standing outside could clearly see streams of golden energy flowing out of Qin Mu's right arm and then through his entire body, protecting him.
At the same time, the previously extremely domineering Titan Snow Demon King's spirit ring energy was weakened considerably, seemingly suppressed by the golden energy flowing from Qin Mu's right arm.
Taking this opportunity, Qin Mu also began to try to absorb the enormous energy of the Titan Snow Demon King.
Once the situation stabilized, the absorption of the spirit ring became much smoother.
Although the Titan Snow Demon King's spirit ring energy still posed a great threat to Qin Mu, as Qin Mu continued to absorb it, the domineering energy that originally caused him unbearable pain became less and less of a threat.
Seeing that Qin Mu's condition had gradually stabilized, the Snow Woman and the others around him breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially with the Snow Woman, after Qin Mu successfully absorbed the spirit ring of the Titan Snow Demon King, it was almost a certainty that he would surpass her when he reached the high-level Title Douluo level.
The wait was quite long, but everyone present was a leader in the world of Spirit Masters and spirit beasts, so they had the patience.
After seven days and seven nights of absorption, Qin Mu finally completed the entire absorption process.
As the dark red light completely subsided within Qin Mu's body, a dark blue spirit bone burst forth from the corpse of the Titan Snow Demon King.
It was a spirit bone shaped like a leg bone; upon closer inspection, it could be seen that it was a left leg bone.
