Chapter 123: Life Domain, A World-Famous Painting: Xiao Wu is Here
At the same time.
Elsewhere in the forest.
Lin Qingmo sat cross-legged in a clearing, emerald light swirling around him.
The light was soft, like new buds sprouting in early spring, radiating vibrant vitality.
Eight spider legs slowly unfurled from his back.
Each one was crystal clear, as if carved from the finest emerald.
Golden patterns flowed across the surface of the spider legs, appearing alive as they pulsed in rhythm with his breathing.
The spider legs swayed gently, creating a faint sound of wind.
"It’s done..."
Lin Qingmo opened his eyes, a flash of emerald green appearing in the depths of his pupils.
He felt the sensation of a shared Bloodline coming from the eight spider legs on his back, his heart pounding.
This thing was much cooler than Tang San’s dark Eight Spider Lances in the original work.
More importantly, the effect was explosive.
external Spirit Bone: Emerald Eight Spider Lances—this was the name he personally gave to the Eight Spider Lances that had successfully undergone Fusion with the Gold of Life.
As an external Spirit Bone, the Emerald Eight Spider Lances had four effects.
First: Strengthening.
All attributes increased by one hundred percent.
Note that this was a strengthening enhancement, not a temporary buff.
This directly elevated his basic physical quality, essentially doubling his foundation.
In the future, any buffing Spirit Ability cast on him would have its effects calculated based on this doubled foundation.
Second: Siphon.
It could actively drain the target’s spirit power and vitality.
This was similar to the original version of the Eight Spider Lances, a legacy feature.
But combined with his life attribute, the effect would likely be even more insane.
After all, Spirit Masters with the life attribute had a natural advantage in controlling vitality.
Third: Sensory Purification.
This one was impressive.
It could detect and purify toxins, mental pollution, evil forces, and various negative status effects.
This was likely the purification effect of the Gold of Life being inherited and upgraded.
As for the fourth effect... Lin Qingmo steadied his expression, unable to hide his joy.
"Domain! Life Domain!"
Once deployed, all life energy and other types of energy within the Domain can be converted into each other.
This sounded a bit abstract, but on closer thought, it was practically a bug.
For example, converting fire-attribute energy into life energy to heal injuries.
Or vice versa, converting life energy into lightning-attribute energy to blast someone.
Of course, there would definitely be losses during conversion.
But even so, the strategic value of this Domain was terrifyingly high.
What surprised him even more was the opening of his spiritual sea.
Now, his mind possessed a vast, boundless silver ocean of mental force.
Beneath the calm surface lay a terrifying amount of mental force.
He could now clearly perceive every movement within a radius of hundreds of meters, even seeing the veins on the leaves with perfect clarity.
"What a pity."
Lin Qingmo felt a bit of regret.
"My Spirit doesn’t have a mental attribute, and I don’t have a head Spirit Bone. All this mental force can only be used as a radar."
If he could unleash a mental shock or something, how cool would that be?
With a thought, the Emerald Eight Spider Lances on his back slowly retracted into his body.
Rip—
The sound of fabric tearing rang out, and he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Lin Qingmo froze, turned his head, and saw a large hole in the back of his shirt, with cold wind whistling in.
"Your external Spirit Bone hasn’t fully integrated yet; it’s normal for it to tear your clothes when summoned."
Bibi Dong’s voice came from nearby.
She had walked up to Lin Qingmo at some point, her purple eyes looking at him calmly.
"I’ll help you complete the Fusion, and it won’t happen again."
As she spoke, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended.
It felt like being suddenly thrown into the deep sea, with heavy pressure coming from all sides.
The air became thick, making it difficult to breathe. Lin Qingmo grit his teeth and pushed his spirit power to the limit to resist.
The Emerald Eight Spider Lances sprang out automatically, their emerald light shining brightly.
Under the pressure of a Titled Douluo, the connection points between the spider legs and his body began to heat up.
That heat spread from his spine, permeating every inch of bone and every strand of flesh.
The connection deepened, becoming tighter and tighter.
It was as if these eight spider legs were originally a part of his body.
The pressure continued to increase.
Fine beads of sweat broke out on Lin Qingmo’s forehead.
He felt like he was carrying a mountain; his knees trembled, and his spine groaned.
His consciousness began to blur.
His eyelids grew heavier and heavier.
Black edges appeared at the periphery of his vision, rapidly spreading toward the center.
Finally, he fell into total darkness... The pressure slowly dissipated.
Bibi Dong stood before Lin Qingmo, holding him, looking down obsessively at his unconscious face.
The Fusion had actually been completed long ago; making him faint was her intentional doing.
She crouched down, her fingertips lightly brushing Lin Qingmo’s cheek.
The youth’s skin was warm, flushed with a faint red hue from the recent exertion.
Her fingers were very cold.
At the moment of contact, both of them trembled slightly.
Bibi Dong’s gaze changed.
The emotions usually suppressed by logic and majesty surged out like a flood breaking through a dam.
Deep within her purple eyes swirled obsession, longing, and an almost pathological possessiveness.
She looked at Lin Qingmo’s chest.
The lines were smooth, and the muscles were well-proportioned.
His skin shimmered with a faint emerald luster due to the Fusion with the Emerald Eight Spider Lances, like fine jade.
And then there was that scent.
A fresh, clean breath of life, mixed with the unique sunny scent of a young man.
To someone like her, who had struggled in the darkness for too long, this scent had a fatal attraction.
"!!!"
Bibi Dong’s heart beat faster and faster, so loud she could hear the thumping herself.
Reason screamed, reminding her that this was wrong.
She was the Supreme Pontiff, the ruler of the Spirit Hall; she shouldn’t treat A-Qing like this.
But feelings never listen to reason.
She couldn’t help but lean down, inching closer.
Her cold lips pressed against the youth’s forehead, a kiss as light as a feather brushing past.
"A-Qing..."
Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible.
"I’m sorry, just for a moment... just for a moment is enough..."
... "I have to be faster!"
Xiao Wu ran at top speed.
Her long hair trailed behind her like a phantom image, and her feet made urgent rustling sounds as they stepped on fallen leaves.
She was incredibly panicked.
An ominous premonition gripped her heart like an invisible hand.
The further she ran toward the outskirts, the faster her heart beat.
She felt like something was about to happen.
"Could A-Qing really have gone to find Er Ming? Is he in any danger? What if he can’t win?"
Most importantly, there had been no response to her inquiries in the Chat Group.
Xiao Wu didn’t dare think further; she could only desperately increase her speed, hoping to return to A-Qing’s side as soon as possible... Not long after.
"Hmm?"
While running, Xiao Wu heard some movement as she passed through an area.
It was a very soft sound, drifting from deep within the dense forest to her left.
Xiao Wu suddenly ground to a halt.
"Someone’s there?"
This place was already near the core area; ordinary Spirit Masters wouldn’t dare enter.
Who was it?
"Could it be A-Qing and the others?"
Holding her breath, she quickly moved toward the sound.
Closer and closer, right in front!
Xiao Wu pushed aside the last cluster of bushes.
Then, she saw a scene that made her mind go blank.
It felt as if all the blood in her body had frozen.
The A-Qing she had been longing for was lying on the ground, his eyes closed as if he were asleep.
And a figure in a large black robe was right there with A-Qing.
No matter how naive Xiao Wu was, she could understand what was happening.
"A-Qing—!!!"
